Improvements of the town.

The enthusiasm and public spirit of
our citizens is growing daily into prom
inence through a just encouragement
of real industrial support, and we note /
with pleasure the multiplication of such t
enterprises as contribute to effect that I
condition of our common interests which I
is criterion of health and metropolitan
achievements The mineral yield not /
wanting, our support is solid, and the |
accessory ncurishment acquired in the
possession Of wide portion of the rich
est mineral fields in the territory, now
tributary to this point, is a strong i'm
/ petus to the growth now developing
with such rapidity, and there seems no
! lacking among our citizens to compre-
/ bend, and act upon, the true state and
the inevitable future of prosperity. All
re-engage in their respective business
pursuits with renewed energy and as
I surance, and mark the trail of their pro-
gress with such substantial structures
and other evidences of permanency as
never before were noticeable in our midst.
Seven daily stages arriving, loaded
down with passengers from the east and
west, are adding large numbers to our
population, which, at the present rate
OF growth, will double in the next six
months as it has in the past six months,
our business enterprises and industries
ever keeping pace with increase of in
habitation The railroad terminus at
this point win work wonders in behalf
of our commercial interests and it is
with well founded reason that our citi-
zens now look forward with one accord
to the approaching time when Ketchum
will out rank her rivals on every hand IN
Importance as commercial centre.
In speaking of the new First National
I Bank Bills of Ketchum the ring organ
: says:
The signature of the President and
: Cashier leave something to be desired OF
the score OF Eligibility; bnt as the Times
! wishes to help along every local enter
I prise the announcement is made that tbs
bills will be received at this office, at p
cents on the dollar, in payment for sub
: seriptions or advertisements of the Elk
horn mine. OF Pinkham & Lewis, or o
I. /. Lewis 4 Son.
: In behalf of /. 1. Lewis i Son, of which
o. firm we are member, we shall say tina
the snide ring organ of Haley. that ex
4 hibits so much gaul, was never sub
!, scribed for nor advertised in by sale
> firm And we can youch for the trutl
t. that it is not taken or patronized in am
IS way by either of the other companie
referred to. When it becomes necessar
d for any of the above companies to asso
?, eiare with anything so vile, they wi
III probably consider the necessity OF be
e, ing quarantined until the business
= over. 1t is pity the '.organ" hash
some bill to present the First Nations
70 Bank that it might lay its vile fins o
+ some of the new bills, but the most han
"a assing thing to its editor is tue fact th
er grave fact, that Ketehum is first in til
presentation of anything like bushes
accomplishments.
