j. T. higgins informs us that
the stage road ON east side of the
mountain is in a deplorable CON
dition and unless something is
done at once his stage will be
compelled to take some other
route from the Prairie. Our SUI
pervisor should give this matter
his immediate attention. If any
thing prevents his putting coun-
ty work on the same, the citizens
will donate toward making the
work good. This is the road
over which all travellers to and
from the Prairie must pass, and
it is to the interest of all to see
that it is kept in order.

Wax q Goldstone received an
invoice of 500fbs sugar Wednes-
day, and by Thursday noon it
was all gone. Cottonwood is
again without sugar but both pur
merchants are doing all in their
power to supply the trade in
spite Of the almost impossible
roads.
H. Nuxnll went to Lewiston
the first of the week with a light
hack in order to get q small sup
ply Of coffee and sugar which
would last until the roads are
settled sufficiently to get in the
balance of the stock. Nothing
like energy and our business
men have lots of it.
G. B. Wood has been making
some improvements about the

down the old shacks and clean

help the appearance of the town
now is the removal of the corral

the construction Of a respectable
looking stage stable.
The White Stockings Base Ball
Club has just been organized in
Cottonwood with Is members.
Considerable talent is in the club
and a challenge has already been
sent to the Denver club, which
also has just organized. This
season will doubtless witness
some lively contests as our boys
expect to keep Cottonwood's rec
ord clear.
Cottonwood is soon to see the
construction of a Catholic school
in its limits, WHICH promises to
be quite large affair, The los
cation has been selected and the
structure will be erected this
year. There is no reason why
Cottonwood should not make not
only a manufacturing but an ed
ucational center, and time will
find it such,
The subscription for the new

for the past two months has been

for the same reason which actuated Great
Britain in carrying on. virtually single
handed for many years, a crusade against
the slave trade. The sum and substance Of
the decision is that England has gained a
nominal success. while the United States
has scored real and actual triumph.
The Philadelphia Press says: In the Par
is arbitration the United States has lost
its argument and won its cause. The pri-
mary contention of the United States has
been that its property rights in the seals
breeding on the Pribylon Islands had or
needed to have a special protection under
international law. The finding made yes
terday denies that the seals have such a
protection, admits that they need IL and
prescribes regulations giving IL which are
considerably in advance of those the United
States once stood ready to accept and far
more stringent than any ever proposed by
Great Britain.
The Philadelphia Times: II comedies to
Great Britain all the principles OF interna-
tional law which her government has con-
sistently upheld. while IL also grants to
the United States the practical result in
the restriction of pelagic sealing, which is
all that serious-minded Americans have
ever believed that We should have demand
ed. In effect the judgment of the tribunal

Nine teams faced the tragets at 200 yards

Columbia. second: the Second New Jersey
third: the Second District Columbia. fourth !:

DOWNTOWN merchant to a friend in passing

SAID the other, and the two men paused
with the crowd to watch the laborers at
their work. Others Joined the throng, end
many were the comments regarding the in
tegrity of humble workmen and the pros

there was at least 81 5000 worth of metal
openly displayed on the streets.
