AlmOta Notes.

Quite a number Of our young folks
attended the circus at Colfax on the
18th.
Miss Fannie Bragg, OF Colfax, came
down, Saturday, on visit to friends and
relatives. She returned home Thursday
The Almota fish-whsel company is still
having good luck in catching salmon
The catch for this week already amounts
to over $50 pounds.
The weather on Snake river for the
past week has been anything but frigid
The thermometer standing, Tuesday and
Wednesday, at 100 in the shade.
J. W. Ofield, of lila, received a tele-
gram from his son in Helena, Montana,
for full carload of fruit, consisting
chiefly of pears, peaches and plums.
Travel between Dayton and Colfax, via
Almota, is on the increase. The ferry
receipts being more for the last of june
and the first of July than any month
previous in this year.
The steamer. Annie Fa1on, makes her
regular trips to Lewiston, but it won't
be long before she will have to come
down with but half load as far as AL
mota on account of the water being SO
low. Even now it is extremely difficult
to cross Log Cabin rapids with full
load.
Our two young miners, Gene Ringer
and Len Richardson, returned Monday
from their trip to the mines north OF
Moscow. The boys didn't take up any
claims, but brought home some fine
specimens of both gold and silver quartz.
They report fine time in the mountains,
having climbed from the foot to the sum-
NIT of Bald mountain, where they got q
fine view of the surrounding country.
They say, also, that Pullman is the
"boss place to celebrate and have a
good time on the Fourth.
At $50 on the morning of the 18th,
the chinese camp, back of Spalding's
livery, stable, was discovered to be on
fire. Nearly all the men folks had gone
to Colfax, but those who were here were
soon at work saving the stable. The
flames caught to the board fence, near
the barn, and, for time, it seemed i'm
possible to save contiguous buildings
Had the barn caught on fire it would
have been impossible to save the hotel
store and other buildings. The men
worked manfully and the ladies rendered
valuable assistance, and their efforts
we're crowned with success. All the
cinnamon had gone to the circus, except
one who was asleep in his cabin when
the fire started. 1t is supposed that
the fire originated from candle left
burning in one of the tents.
Last Saturday as the stage from Col,
fax, with Misses Lulu Ringer, Tinnie
Wilkinson and Fannie Bragg aboard
was coming down the gulch road and
while near Mr.. Stine's residence, bolt
in one Of the single-trees dropped out
letting the single-tree drop on the heels
Of one of the horses, soaring him badly
and causing. him to plunge wildly.
That scared the other horse and before
the driver could prevent it, they ran the
hack up or the side of the grade, turn
ing it over on the side. Misses Tinnie
and Fannie were thrown violently
against barb wire fence, and Miss Lulu
was thrown completely over the fence,
falling directly on her face, bruising it
pretty badly. But for the presence of
mind of the driver, Mr.. Jackson, in
jumping to the heads Of the horses, the
accident would have been much more
serious. AS it was the girls came out
with few bruises and scratches.
