MOSCOW ITEMS.

Inc weather IS beautiful and every
body cheerful.
Mr.. Geo. M. Wilson is complaining
Of sore eyes since his visit to your town.
We are anxious to know why it is that
you make our people such presents.
Mr.. Chas. Moore and family arrived
here this week from Wala Walla and
will, we understand, make Moscow
their home, which is gratifying to our
community.
Notices posted in conspicuous places
state that the stock of general merch-
andise owned by Messrs Hayes. and
Dupuy will be sold at public auction
on next Monday April Sd.
A lady, the wife of one of eur citi-
zens, had nine teeth extracted at one
sitting and her husband informs US
that she has not spoken a cross word
to him since the event, which occurred
last week. Nor pleasant one either.
Ed
The fence dividing the Russell Ad-
dition from the former town site has
been removed and parties owning lots
in the Addition have commenced fenc.
ing them in, which makes decided
Improvement in the appearance of
things in that section of the town.
We learn that the trade for the John
Russell ranch adjoining town has been
consumated and that Messrs Moore,
Barton, Mcguire and other enterpris
ing citizens are the owners. The ranch
is valuable one and the purchase i,
undoubtedly a forerunner to something
in the way of enterprise Of more i'm
Iortance to the general public.
Mr.. Howard Olsen, our city ieweler
has rented the Glogan property and
will remove his stock of jewelry and
notions to that building, which is op.
posi.e his present stand. The object
being to secure more room for larger
stock, which will be added this spring.
Fresh beef is luxury to US now.
Our city butcher, Mr.. Peterson, says
it is impossible to secure good beef
cattle in this section at present. In
consequence Of the unusual amount Of
snow last winter. He is, however, ex.
pecting a number of beavcs momentar-
lily from Snake river, which is consol-
ing to auti-pork eaters.
We note the arrival of our former
to Snsman, Mr. j. G. Kribbs, who has
been sojourning in your pleasant city
during the past winter He left US on
two legs and returned on three, a gain
of 33B per cent. in favor of your town.
We congratulate him on his safe return
but not on his gain.
Mr.. Daniel Mcconnell and Mr..
Brown, who have been connected with
the establishment of w. j. Mcconnell
& Co. here, left US this week for Ore,
gon. The former will continue his
journey to his home in Michigan, They
will be missed from our community,
as they both possessed high social and
gentlemanly qualities.
We mentioned some time since that
we had every confidence in the near
approach of spring, it has finally come,
we know it, because the crossing of
Paradise creek, at the south end Of
town, is almost impossible. This is a
never failing sign, notwithstanding
the endeavors of our roadnasters to
remedy this evil, but a lack of means
is the cause of this repeated calamity.
Mr.. T. Griffin of the late firm of Nc
Cornell e. Cir fin at The Dalles, Ore
gon, is with us. We understand that
he will interest himself in the general
merchandise busidess of w. J. Neon
nell Il Co., at this place. The reputa-
ton of Mr.. G. as business man is we'll
known in the vicinity of The Dallcs,
and we feel assured that his presence
will be appreciated by our community.
c.. B. Hopkins, Esq, editor OF the
Gazette was with us this week looking
after the interests of his paper in this
vicinity. Yours truly, A.
