The Celebration.


Arrangements have been permanently
made by our committeeman with the
Wood River base ball nine and the Salt
Lake nine to play a match game in
ketchum on celebration day, and this
feature alone Of the day Will lend much
attraction to visitors, and doubtless be
the subject of much excitement and
criticism. The Salt Lake nine is pref
ty strong club, having played a good
many fine games in Utah and adjoining
Territories, while the Wood River nine
is to be picked men from the Haley,
Believe and Bullion clubs. The game
will probably occur in the field adjoin.
ing the boulevard.
The arrangement committee have be-
gun the distribution of some large post
ers printed at the KEYSTONE Office yes
terday, and will see to the proper circu-
lation of programmes in due time.
There seems to be good inclination
in nearly every vicinity of Wood River
to turn ont and give Ketchum ''send
off, - and doubtless we shall have rous-
ing time. Our neighbors are heartily
welcome and will be given bounteous
supply of Ketchum's hospitality. The
excursion trains, and such low rate OF
fare for the round trip, will induce many
in the lower towns to come if only for
the trip, and the arrangements for one
train to leave here for down river towns
at 4 A. VI. next morning, will be an in
estimable convenience to those wishing
to attend the grand ball.
Fifty dollars worth Of fire works to be
displayed in the evening will be a grand
treat to the families OF Ketchum and
their friends, Willie the races, certain to
be ''way up will enable every lover, of
| fast horses. and every sport III the conn
try, agood opportunity to be gratified
for once.
There is some talk about getting up a
procession of horribles, but we cannot
say whether or not it will be feature OF
the day.
The speeches of welcome to be deliv-
cred from the balcony of Fitzsimmons
metropolitan Hall, by NIT. e. Clohecy
-
ann Mr.. E. o. Wheeler, Will draw good
open mir audience, and we understand
some arrangement is being made for q

Probate Judge.

Abiding to an announcement in an
other column the Inter idaho kindly re-
marks, of II candidate for Probate Judge:
If there is any one thing in the world
we do like better than another it is to
vote for a newspaper man-when we
find on honest one competent to fill the
office to which he aspires. In such fix
are we now: there's Il. C. Street, an old
newspaper man i'll Nevada, and now in
Ketchum, who, as will be seen by refer
ence to his card under Announce
ments," aspircs to the Probate Judge
ship of Alturas, and with Gods help
and the Democratic hosts of Alturas,
may he get there. Mr. Street needs no
words of introduction to our people in
the columns of the Inter Idaho. He was
clerk of the district court covering this
county when there was not Il newspaper
published within 100 miles of this place.
For years he has. been n member of the
bar; three terms a district attorney
once in California and twice in Nevada;
honorably fulfilled the duties of men,
Der of the Nevada Legislature one term,
and, in fact, has held numberless posi-
tons of trust which are guarantee of
his ability to fill the office to which he
aspires acceptably to his constituents.

The Black Hills World contains glow
ing accounts of the tin mines recently
discovered in that section. The ship
ments of ores from the Eta mine have
been sent to New York to be worked,
and the result is highly satisfactory to
the mine owners. 1t is estimated that
S12, 900, 600 worth of tin plates are an
nually imported, and, as the use of the
metal is steadily increasing, while the
product of the mines in Cornwall, Eng
land, are as steadily decreasing, the i'm
portance of the Black Hills discovery
cannot be overestimated. The mines
extend over large area of territory and
the ore contains large percentage OF
the metal.

blemished character, and thoroughly
understands the business of the office,

East Fork of Little Wood river. He re-
ports the work going steadily on and the
prospects looking well. His mines are
abort six miles from Houston, the new

will largely come from the Mammoth
lode. The smelters will be located near
the head of the mine. Mr.. Reid passed
over the Challis- Ketchum wagon road,

For Representative.

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
formal announcement Of E. o. Wheeler
for Representative of Alturas County in
the Idaho Legislature, subject to the
Republican County Convention. Mr..
Wheeler, now fulfilling the office of JUS
tice of the Peace in this place, was
among the first attorneys who came to
Wood River, and has since shown him
self to be not only competent lawyer
but an honorable and scholarly gentle
man. His thorough acquaintance with
the resources and requirements of Al
turas county, coupled with practical
ability and independence of character,
will give him precedence in the coming
campaign, and we think he is a good
man for the Republicans to support at
the county convention.

of New Buildings.

The wires from the west part of the

run directly over the ground upon which
stood the wooden building of Peter Coos.
MI. Coos has torn down the wooden
building and purposes to erect q three
story brick upon the site and will also
place another story upon the Coos hotel.
This necessitates the removal of the tele-
phone wires. A sixty foot pole will be
erected in front Of Hascall's building, and
the wires, one hundred and twenty in
number, will be transferred to this pole,
The two largepoles upon Fifteenth'street,
upon which are strung one hundred and
forty wires each, will have to be moved
out about eight feet on a line with the
curbing. This will be quito u job as the
poles are cry large and heavy and are
set about ten feet in the ground. This
