delegate to the county convention.
Mr.. s. B. Irwin was proposed rs such
There being no further business before
the meeting, adjournment was taken
sine die.
Mrs. George Morrison and family re-
turned Saturday from the camping
ground at Soldier Meadows. The
weather is very pleasant at that alti-
tude and many of our citizens are still
enjoying the freedom from dust and
heat. DR.. G. w. Shaft was called down
from the camp Friday last on pro-
fessional visit. He reports that frost
is q common occurrence at the camp
and that the fishing and hunting cam
not be excelled.
| J. T. Bibb, manager of the n. P.
Elevator Co., was In town Friday and
completed arrangements for leasing the
"Red" ware house on Snake river in
this city. This is but a temporary
movement on the part of the company.
They contemplate building large ele-
vator here as soon as possible to get at
the work. The company have at pres
ent dozen elevators in course of con-
struction along the line. Mr.. NJ. r..
O'Neil, late of Dakota, has taken
charge of the company's interest here
The best price will be paid and every
effort made to attract trade to this point.
The celebrated guaze oven doors were
put to the test last Friday at Bunnell's.
They sold one on condition that it
would give satisfaction, and to prove
Its merits and satisfy curiosity as we'll,
the stove was set up on the street and a
fire started. Mr.. Wildenthaler fur
nished the dough for pan of biscuits
and when the oven was heated the pan
was put in and time called. In exactly
twelve minutes the biscuits were taken
out baked to turn. The test was a
complete success and 1t Is needless to
state the man took the stove and 1t Is
safe to assert that JOY will reign in that
family henceforward.
A judicious scare was given a small
urchin on Main Street, Tuesday after
noon. He had been annoying Geo.
Frost for some time by continually
Jumping on the dray as 1t passed by.
Having caught him in the act Mr..
n Co. 1T
his deep bass, that fairly shook the at
mosphere. And the boy-O where is
he? A streak of dust and two sharp
across lots. The sport of jumping on
The drivers cannot always be on the
lookout for small boys. Let the parents
caution their children against this
practice. A crushed arm or leg would
be heavy pay for the fun of little ride.
The local of last week concerning the
movements of the Union Pacific in
building connecting lines linking to
gether all their routes in the northwest
Is further confirmed by the Montana
!, papers. The Missoulian says: Parties
, who have recently returned from the
upper end of the Bitter Root valley
state that two gangs of surveyors are al
work along the west branch of Bitter
j, Root river. 1t could not be learned by
what company they are employed, but
, 1t Is sure they mean business. It Il
supposed they are engineers Of the
Western Montana 4 Idaho Railroad
company, which is presumed to be ar
, auxiliary Of the Union Pacific, and
: which was organized few months agt
, for the purpose of building line from
7 Anaconda to Missoula via the Bittel
, Root valley and thence to Idaho. l,
appears as If this movement means tha
contamination Of the plans of the grea1
Union Pacific company to connect tn,
: Utah & Northern with the Washington
4 Idaho and the 0. r. 4 NJ, by build
! ing line from Silver Bow junction Il
Missoula, and through the st. Regi
country into Idaho, thus gaining con
, tinuous line from the coast to Pocatella
Idaho. The extension of the Uniol
l Pacific system In this manner vii
. place 1t In position to strongly com
. pete with the Northern Pacific and tn
! Great Northern for the patronage o
the great Northwestern country.
