Remember When Rich Men Used Their Money For Good?

Went to the library today:

"On account of the lumber interests the city contains a great many single men, who work in the woods in the Winter time, and return to the city in the Spring with more or less money which they have earned in the Winter and these men have no public place in which they can pass their time until the sawmills open when the ice goes out in the Spring. The State Prison is also located in town."
