Ed. WoRLD:--Since wrote yor
last We have been having some real
genuine March weather sunshine
and showers. Our obnorious storm
vas very light but left cold wave
behind. The streets are quite dusty
andgrass il starting, but fruit buds,
with the exception Of . few early
pssshes, are not. This ID the most
backward spring since the first set
Element, but it 10 liable to turn very
warm within few days. Then stand
from under, for from all accounts
there are vast piles Of snow 10 the
mountains that v liable TO rnin many
ranches 10 this and adjacent valleys.
There are four feet Of solid snow in
tbs Wood River country, and to-day
the editor OF tho Avalanche tells me
they have two feet at Silver City.
He also says the mining prospects arc
very bright aud that tho streets Of
DeLamar are muddy.
A large building will be put up
here during the summer whore stands
the Baptist church, ono OF The old
est church buildings in the State.
This ancient structure has been NOV.
cd to the back end Of the lot TO be
used - : carpenter shop during the
construction Of the big now building.
Mr.. Beck, Of Indian creek, has pur-
chased the lot, and is going to put up
: three-story brick, with . basement
under the whole building and two
store rooms on the first floor. The
two upper floors will be used a. .
hotel, With Office on 9th street, flrst
foor. Mr.. Cook, who owns the ad-
joining lot VIII build soon. He has
also purchased one Of the George
Ish blocks; sold two lots, l hear, for
$1,000, and il going to build . 6ne
residence for himself.
The natatorium people are begin
ming TO see that they made . great
mistake in putting up their fne
building 80 far above town, instead
OF below. II they had built below
they could have run their water
through the radiators Of fifty or sixty
buildings and had the waste pipes
connected with another main and ran
the water directly into the plunge,
instead Of letting il waste into the
ditch, - At present, and the water
would then have been too hot for
bathing purposes and would have
needed cooling. The change will be
made sometime, and hotel or board.
sng house or restaurant connected
herewith.
The Eastman Brothers, l hear, al.
ready regret having put money into .
6ns residence on Warm Springs ave-
nue. instead Of rebuilding the old
Overland hotel.
We hope the building OF the State
wagon road up through your country
will be the forerunner Of . railroad
through these parts, In order that We
may be enabled to start some kind of
manufactures in this town and there
BY establish . pay.rool. Boise will
then be oil right.
It's rumored that the great Capt.
DeLamar has got himself into hole. |
We are sorry, for the Captain has
bsen one OF the best men for Owyhee
and Ada counties that ever came to
The State. He is all nerve, ambition |
and push, but II he ever imagined for |
one moment that be could make .
corner on the Chicago wheat market
be was mistaken. Whenever q per-
son who has not several times been a
millionaire undertakes to run in CON-
pany with such men As Jim Keene be
is liable to get left out in the cold
before he realizes which one Of the
boys be is. We sincerely hope there
Is nothing in it; but the way be is
trying to hedge in Boise makes it
look A. though something had gone
wrong. While in Boise he was not
properly treated by certain parties
that wanted to run the city their way.
Th" result was that be left in disgust,
and right there and then Boise lost
her bsst citisen-one who could and
perhaps would have done more for
Boise than any other person ever here.
Well, our county grand jury hear,
has really adjourned, after . three
wesks' session. Rumor has il that
hey wouldn't have let 60 so quickly, /,
but several Of them lived in the ooun-
