5 Next Thursday evening, the 10Th
/ prox., at six O'Clock in the evening
begins the Jewish New Year, or Rosh
Hoshona, which observance lasts
twenty-four hours, or until Friday
Pm. The succeeding week the Day
OF Atonement, or Yom Kippur, occurs,
beginning on the evening of the 18th,
and continuing like period. Dur
ing these observances the stores of
our Jewish citizens will be closed.
Farmers think little rain just now
would be no harm but some little
good. Uplands are getting very dry
and few moderate showers would
go far towards renewing parched up
stock ranges. On abe whole, however.
the season has been remarkably
favorable one for ranchmen. Hay is,
of course, the staple production in
this portion of the Territory, and it
is already bringing from ten to twelve
dollars per ton.

A visit to the Eastside brick ward
reveals the fact that there is no dimin-
ution OF activity in that quarter. Mr..
John Grimm evidently believes that if
good material is furnished buildings
will go up. He is now putting up
his last kiln of about 100000. This,
he thinks, will suffice to taper off the
industry. When these are burned
and ready for market, the grand .ag-
gregate will be over 100000 brick
turned out during the present season.
Mr.. Young, the hotel proprietor is
about making some changes in his
business which will doubtless add very
materially to the comfort of lis
guests, and reduction of prices will
be matter in which all his patrons
will feel decided interest. 1t is his
intention to partition his large dining
room and fit up portion of it for
club and sample rooms. Whatever
Ed does is done well, and we predict
still larger degree of prosperity for
this favorite house.
Olympia Lodge of Masons have
greatly improved the appearance of
their property, on the corner of Main
and Eighth streets, by moving their
hall building to the center of the plat,
consisting OF two lots, and grading its
elevation by gradual slope to the
level Of the streets. New sidewalks
have been laid and other improve
ments are contemplated which will
make the corner an exceedingly at
tractive portion of one of the finest
streets in the Territory.
Messrs. Chambers and Frost and
Mrs. Hale have bought out the in
terest of Allen c. Mason in the gas
works, and that institution will here.
after be owned and controlled entirely
by our own citizens. Mr.. Mason's in
terest was sold for $4,000. Mr.. Cham
ber's takes $1,000 and Mr.. Frost and
Mrs. Hale each $1,000, of this stock
and assume a mortgage of $S,OO0
against it, held by the First National
Bank. Now that the enterprise has
passed under different control, there
is no reason why the business may
not be materially extended.
An alarm OF fire was sounded Tues
day, about noon, to which the depart
ment promptly responded, but their
services fortunately We're not needed.
The signal was given in consequence
of a mishap at Mr.. Sternberg's resi-
dence at Nozzle creek 1t seems that
u kettle of pitch that was being heated
on the kitchen stove took fire and the
flames soon caught the interior wood
work and for q time threatened des
truction to the whole building. For
tunately an abundance OF water was
at hand, and the application of few
buckets full subdued the flames.
INK only cents at Van Epps'.
