Observation-Disclosures. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Mrs. Peter Pence, of Payette, is visit
ing her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Seth
Bixby, of this place.
j. w. Murray, an old time resident of
Caldwell, has been in town the past
few days. His present home is at
Placervillo.
The primary election today will be
held in the building formerly occupied
by Stark the jeweler. Let the unterri-
fed do their duty.
Stiles & Dunbar have something to
say about clothing in this issue. Read
it and remember THAT they never talk
unless they mean what they say.
The continued rains this spring re-
minds ono of tho good old days you
hear the old residents talk about, when
grass on the ranges would hide steer.
There never was a more favorable
spring for ranchers and stock men.
The Indian celebrates the return of
spring by engaging in the "war dance;"
the white man by holding primary
elections and nominating conventions.
Viewed from the Indians standpoint
the white man is the fool.-Weiser
Signal.
Billy Hollenbeak was unfortunate
enough to DO kicked by a horse last
Sunday evening, fracturing the hip
bone. The doctors have bound him up
in splints and he has the cheerful pros
pect of lying on his back for two or
three weeks. Friends sympathize with
him.
Chas. T. Ferguson, the popular fore
man on the Goodhue ranch, under tho
Sebree dicth, was in town Tuesday.
He says they have set out nearly 5000
trees this spring, making now nearly
10000 trees on the place. Besides this
they cut from 700 to 800 tons of alfalfa.
Four years ago this great ranch was
the homo of the coyote and jack rabbit.
Wonderful transformation.
Messrs. William Faber and John
Williams, who are known to every one
in Stuart, departed last Saturday morn
ing for Caldwell Idaho, where they
will engage in business for themselves
tho manufacture of cigars. Both of
these young men are artists IN their
profession, members of the cigar
makers union, and the Democrat is
sure they will succeed in that country,
if energy and good workmanship count
for anything.-Stuart Qa) Democrat.
We acknowledge an invitation to
participate in celebration at Noun
tain Home. today in honor of the open
ing of the head-gate of the great reser-
voit just completed there. The gov
ernor and other state officials will be
present and q great celebration is
arranged for. The invitation truth
fully states that "the great work is the
only one of the kind of any Importance
in the northwest, and of unlimited
value for information to the state.'
Masked "hugging parties" are coming
in vogue again in some localities and
are drawing. card at church sociables.
BY paying fifteen cents, man is
allowed to hug girl, but he is first
blindfolded. 1t is pleasant for the rest
of the company to see how mad a
married man gets when on femov-
ing the bandage from his eyes, he finds
he has been hugging his own wife, and
fifteen cents gone for nothing, except
AS u revenue to the church. Such con.
fidence games should be prohibited by
law.
NJ. &. Stiles and f. q. Hill, repre-.
senting the leading mercantile estab-
lishments Of Caldwell, were in Salubria
Sunday. They were through the upper
valley drumming up trade for their
respective houses. Caldwell and Pay
cite are enterprising towns and the
business men of both places are always
on the alert for trade and they deserve
the patronage of this upper country
much moro than Weiser, where the
most of it goes and for which there is
not proper OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Cit
