The improvements ON homestead OF
100 acres, nine miles west of Grange
vile, are for sale. This place is we'll

F. w. Thornton has moved his fami-
ly onto his so acre ranch two miles south
OF town. He found fine spring only
800 yards from the house the other day
and had owned the place six years with
out being aware of its existence.

Benz. Reeves, who have been on the di-
vide between Salmon and Snake rivers
rounding up their horses and branding
the colts, return to Grangeville Wednes-'

We noticed the familiar form of Rev.
Maxey this week, clad in the habili-
ments of granger, on top of load of
wood which he was hauling from the
mountain. If he is as good an axman
as he is a preacher there is little danger
of him being cold this winter.
' c. A. Sears has purchased the Elk
City hotel from Brigham Young and has
gone in to take possession and to get
fixed up for the spring opening. Elk
City is going to be good camp next
and the hotel ought to be
money making business in there.
w. X. Winchell, of Sprague, w. T.,
who was with us a week ago, purchased
a band of cattle from Mr.. Hattabaugh,
and T. j. Davis is wintering them on
shares for him. He will buy q good
many more cattle in the spring and also
intends to purchase ranch in this vi
cinity.
If you intend to plant reliable, never
failing shade trees, plant locust and
when they grow up, you have some-
Thing. Trees in this country should be
planted in the fall, but for some reason
most people wait until spring. They
feel about this, just as the man does,
who buys on credit.
The indications are that by this time
next year Grangeville will he the rail-
road terminus, and then come of you
fellows will be wondering why you did
not have the foresight to get in and buy
q few town lots while they we're selling
cheap. Get in on the ground floor, be-
fore it is everlastingly too late.
The liyeliest dance had on Camas
prairie for many long day was given
at Ed. Liston's place on Stock creek last
Friday at which 26 numbers were pres
ent, of whom 10 were ladies. The sup
per is reported to have been superb, and
those present were gratified at the en-
joyable time they had.
