Geo. DOWNARD of our town and Jack MADIGAN of Leadwood are papering the new residence
of Phil MAURICE and doing some painting for the Baker Lead Co. at their new shaft near

Elvins Modern Woodman Camp No. 7156 extends a cordial invitation to the members of 
neighboring camps to attend their installation exercises, Tuesday night, January 16.
If you are a Royal Neighbor and your husband is not a Woodman, come and bring him 
along.  On the other hand, if you are a Woodman and your wife is not a Royal Neighbor,
come and bring her with you.  You are both invited just the same.  Supper will be
served free and a good time is assured all who attend.

Some two or three weeks before local option carried in the county and in Elvins, a 
number of the "wet" workers pointed to the number of empty houses of our city and 
predicted that that was only an inkling of what would happen after the "drys" had 
won--if it would be possible for them to do so.  But what a difference?  The county
went dry--our saloons are all out of business and there are scores of men with
families who want to move to Elvins but cannot get houses.  There is not a dwelling
house vacant in Elvins and but very few business houses.  The "drys" are certainly
proving their point that a "dry" city makes an ideal place in which to live.
