HARRISON NEWS NOTES.

The delegates to the democratic con-
yention left Sunday eve, by the Amelia
Wheaton.
The piles are being driven for the
wharf of the Peoples Transportation
Co, and many other preparations are
being made toward the speedy con-
pletion Of this enterprise.
The framework Of James Glover's
new dwelling went up this week. Mr..
Glover intends having it completed As
soon as possible and will move his
family into it Immediately.
The residence of W. s. Bridgeman
was completed this week, and will be
occupied Immediately. Some Of tbs
household effects have already been re-
moved and the hanging of the crane"
will soon take place.
The saw mills not only supply the
wants of the many builders here, but
are shipping large quantities
of lumber away each week, which
not only brings much more
money into circulation IN Harrison, but
advertises the enterprise aud facilities
of our town.
Cash NJ. Cole is sparing neither
money nor pains to make the hotel he is
erecting one Of the finest in kootenai
county. Each day he adds more work.
men to the host now employed and is
using every effort to have it completed,
so our many summer excursionists may
enjoy its many eOnvenienceS.
Col. Budlong is here experimenting
the construction Of the L. P. depot and
the wharf Of the Peoples Transporta-
ton Co. lie has large force Of men
at work and will soon employ more,
The dimensions OF the depot are such,
that when completed it viii be both
convenient and cOmmodious.
We are seeking for knowledge. Can
some one tell us why only one Of the
democratic delegates sent to Rathdrum
was accepted? We have among US a
young man, who seems to have q bio
graphical sketch Of all the republicans
at command. Has he also life history
Of those democrats that were rejected
at the convention. If 50, We would
be pleased to hear it. We think he is
familiar with the history OF one, at
least, and as it is the first time he ever
had chance to cast his vote, we know
how it must have grieved him to have
been deprived Of that privilege.
1t is noticeable fact to all, that Har-
rison has taken some very rapid strides
along the road Of advancement in the
past ten weeks. Its future success is
assured; but there ars two things that
Harrison surely needs to aid in this
success; a good straight forward news
paper and live editor. We have
been more than fortunate in having
for citizens and business men.
energetic, upright men, and in being 80
fortunate in these respects, it seems
more deplorable that We have no news
paper or editor. Harrison could ell
support good paper and would lend
all its assistance to an editor, if the
right man could be found. If we do
not have a paper Of our Own, we have
the opportunity Of patronizing the
worthy PRESS Of our sister city, and it
is golden opportunity that all here
embrace.
The excursion of Sunday last, al
though not quite 80 large as the one Of
a week ago was as much Of success. 1t
arrived some minutes after the regular
morning train. spokane and every
town along the line was well repre-
sented. They enjoyed themselves in
much the same manner as the former
excnrsionists did, and did not seem at
all ready to return when the train ar
rived. There was hurrying, scurrying
and fitting to and fro, to find their
friends and secure a seat in the closely
packed cars. The distracted expression
on the face of the man who lost his
wife in the surging crowd, and the pain
ful disappointment portrayed upon the
face Of the young man who could not
find his best girl, was an amusing spec
tacle for the people looking on. The
hearty cheer for Harrison that arose
from the throats of many upon
their leaving, gave evidence they were
both pleased and satisfied with Harrison
and their days pleasure. The Fairfield
and Latah bands were to have furn-
ished the music, but the leaders were
disappointed by some of their players
not coming. However, the two bands
joined together and favored US with
some very good selections. Harrison
heartily invites them to come again,
one and all.
