WORK FOR ALL.
THAT Is WHAT THERE Is nv
WOOD RIVER.

Inc Railroad and Other Important En-.
terprises Suffering from the Lack q,
Laborers-And This Notwithstand,n.
the Thousands Of Men Brought to Thi,
Section.
MIR. Bradbury, of the firm of Brad
bury & Rinehart, who have the con.
tract for doing all the grade of the
Wood River Branch Railway, was ir
town Tuesday, and TINES reporte,
had lengthy and satisfactory inter
view with him.
In the course of conversation Mr.
Bradbury said that the track was ther
laid to within Is miles of HALEY, anc
that by next Sunday it would be with.
in five miles Of Haley.
The tracklayers were close behind
the graders, and although Bradbury
q Rinehart had 800 teams and COG
men at work, with scarcely anything
to DO besides leveling, the track wa.
laid as fast as the grade could be fin.
ished, and the contractors could no,
spare man. They intended putting
a large force on the new irrigatinp
ditch last week, but were unable tc
get men enough. This important un.
dertaking is therefore delayed-prob.
ably until the completion of the rail.
road to Haley.
Men were very scarce, Mr.. Brad.
bury said, and men and teams were
kept in the Wood River towns all the
time to hire and take out to the rail.
road camps all who were willing to
work. This had been the case ever
since last July. And not only Wood
River had been canyassed for men,
but Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Iowa as we'll.
Thousands of men had been brought
out from Colorado alone, by the vari-
Gus contractors. Bradbury & Rine-
hart brought out over 500, the Kill
patricks 1000, Collins over 1000,
Corrigan Il Carlisle 1000, ETC., vet
there were scarcely half enough. The
wages were 1925 per day for graders,
with sc locked per week for board.
These were not very remunerative,
but they were 80 cents per day higher
than in Colorado for the same work 4;
and no man vino is out of funds and
willing to work for his living need
worry about getting work, as all he
need do is to apply at any railroad
camp, or to any of the contractors,
and he will get instant employment.
On this point Mr.. Bradbury was very
positive: That since the first of last
July there has not been time when a
man need remain idle in Idaho for the
lack of work.

THE MASQUERADE.
1t Will Undoubtedly be Numerousl,
Attended.

The next social event of any i'm
portance to come off in this CITY is the
masquerade announced to take place
in HALEY Theater on the evening of
the first day of May. AS is usual in
such cases, most of those who are
asked deny any intention Of attend
ing, but from the large number of
masks and the quantity of fancy dry
goods sold at the stores, it is evident
that large number Of fancy CO.'S
tunes are being prepared for some
purpose or other.
The prizes offered for the most
original and besr-sustained characters
are very elegant and valuable. They
can be seen a: Hendricks jewelry
store.

THE CAFE ROYAL.
A New Establishment that Well De.
serves Its Name, and a Place the
Want Of Which Has Been Felt Long

A'e" AsS NNmes ana fl0Ce the
want OF Which Has Been Felt Long
Time.
During a month past carpenters,
painters, paperers and decorators
have been at work early and late pre-
pairing the building now occupied as
the Cafe Royal for public patronage.
The location is we'll chosen, being on
Main street nearly opposite Haley
Theater, and convenient to all parts
of the city.
The Cafe Royal is the on,,v estab.
l'shment of the kind IN Idaho, and has
been fitted up by Charles Moore at
great expense, and will be under the
personal supervision of his wife and
daughter.
The exteri is very creditable for
Wood River, and the interior is luxu-
rious in appointments. In the rear i'm
mense brick ovens are being built.
and Mrs. Moore will have baked dailv
every variety of bread and pastry,
homemade and superior to anything
ootalnable from regular bakeries.
Families will be supplied with old
fashioned, home made loaves, French
twist, German twist, hot rolls, Phila.
delphia or English buns, rusks, etc. ::
also' every variety of cake, especially
pound fruit: wedding and jelly cakes,
crullers, pretzels, doughnuts, etc.
The interior saloon, which is 80
feet square, is partitioned off, giving
three private rooms for special parties
and one grand saloon for general
patrons-all elegantly decorated with
lace curtains costing $3.50 per pair,
rich carpets and borders, mirrors, par
lor chairs, settees, ETC., and rs couples
can be seated at one time in partiS S
or singly.
In the main saloon is side counter
and shelving whereon are kept fresh
oranges, figs and fruits and choice
varieties of French CONNECTIONS; also.
all kinds of imported nuts, and home
made cakes and candies. Choice ice
creams and ices, with lemonade, choice
wines, chocolate, coffee, tea and cakes,
will be served upon the tables, as de.
sired.
Miss Lille Moore will supervise the
CONNECTION department, and guests
will be waited upon by competent and
courteous attendants.
In addition to the ice-cream and
confectionery there will be served,
when desired, Caviar, Swiss, English
and Limburger cheese, sardines, Dutch
herring, cold ham and cold meats,
with chocolate, tea or coffee, or
any wines called for. Good coffee
will be a speciality. Fancy crackers,
custard and lemon pies, etc, or, if or
dered in advance, elegant complete
dinners for parties will be gotten up
and served in home style, giving
everything in the market.
On the completion of the railroad
strawberries, fresh oysters, etc, will be
added to the menu. A soda fountain
will also arrive soon, with all varieties
OF syrups. Roman punch, home
made, and champagne or beer will be
sold by the bottle or glass.
The hours will be from z a. m. until
a. m, and later in the season the
cafe will be kept open night and day.
The Cafe Royal will be opened at
1870 o'clock this evening, when every.
body is invited. There will be ice.
cream tonight.
