LOCAL NOTES.
A thaw is expected.

here.
1t is rumored that an important
social event is soon to occur within
the limits of Morris society.
P. J. Elmquist, has placed new
counters andis painting and otherwise
improveing his Jewelry store.
Cyrus Allen again stands behind the
counter at A. A. Stones hardware
store dealing out hardware etc.
"That IA committee of three be APP
pointed to inform the Village Council
that unless suitable buildings are fur
nished the fire company will dis
band.N
Prospects for an excellent crop of
winter wheat upon the Pacific slope
are good, in other localities not so flat
tering. Accounts from all the spring
wheat sections of the Northwest are
very encouraging.
New ten foot sidewalks have been
laid in front of Geo. Rowles, restau-
rant, J. Egan's hotel and j. Demp-
sey's harness shop. With its new
sidewalks and new awnings Atlantic
Ave, has much improved appear
ance.
This weather is bad for the ice trade.
Those engaged in it say that house
keepers who do take ice are ia king but
small quantities, while many families
have not yet given their usual season IS
orders. We have not yet had week
of warm weather, take it altogether.
Miss Laura Kemp now has charge
of the millinery department of J. +.
Danielson's store. A full line of mil
linery goods is kept constantly on
hand and trimming and other kinds
of millinery work will be neatly and
promptly done by the person in
charge.
The Phoenix Fire Company mean
business. Necessary buildings must
he furnished and means provided by
the council by which an effective Or
ganization can be made possible or
else the company will disband. AT
the last meeting of the company the
following motion was carried unani-
mously.
The occupants of Good & Brisbine's
store were started Thursday afternoon
by hearing the report of a gun in the
tin shop. An investigation revealed
that the timer was repairing shot
gun which after the breech had been
placed i'm the fire soon demonstrated
the fact that it was loaded. For
tunately no one was hurt.
Notice Kenner & Moore's advertise
ment in this issue for brick. They
have one kiln of newly made brick
ready for use and for market and will
have another soon. Work is being
carried on by them upon quite an ex-
tensive scale this season, four ma
chimes being used having combined
capacity of from $1,000 to % 900 daily.
The brick is of the best quality.
When capitalists begin quietly en-
vesting in real estate in any locality
you may know that there are substan-
tial reasons for expecting boom and
that holders of real estate in those
parts are going to make something.
Just that very thing is being done by
capitalists i'm Stevens comfy now and
before many years something will
happen.
We have extended to publish i'm this
issue the real estate transfers in
Stevens county from Jan. LIST, 1873, to
the present time but We found upon
examination that the list is far too ex-
tensive for our space. If there are
any who imagine that farms are not
selling in this county they should
glance at the transfer book in the
county Auditors office and have that
illusion dispelled.
Five years from now the number of
men who will feel like kicking them
selves because they did not take in
some of the bargains now offered in
real est ate will be beyond computation.
1t will be sad to see them dejected1y
contemplating "what might have
been.n Think of it. Five hundred
dollars will buy 16O acres of decided
land. Men who do not improve such
opportunities as this for obtaining
good farms will soon learn how badly
they are getting left.
We have received communication
from some illiterate fellow living in
one of the western townships which
we must decline to publish. He evil
IDENTIFY has borrowed paper from
some body in order to find something
to get mad about, and now attempts
to become prominent as a critic. We
made sincere effort to claw the
amalgamation of words back into I'M
telligible English but we soon con-
cluded that life is to short for the task. |
The mess has now been laid upon the
shelves of forgetfulness.
OF Remenyi the great violinist who
will be in Morris soon the Chicago
Tribane says:-He is the peer of any
living player we have heard. He
sweeps criticism and every sort of OBJ
