The Lunberman's Mercantile Co.
successor to Mcdonald & O'Neill
has opened up the big Company stor,
building on Second and Railroad Ave
Besides the latter stock the new firm
is daily receiving large lots of al
kinds of goods that will go to make
up the large department store--one OF
the largest in the state. AS the new
firm will supply extensive logging de.
rnand, as well as considerable local
/ trade, it has first-class field in which
to work up an immense business. The
[camps use large amounts of farm pro.
fduce and this ought to take up every
1 thing our neighboring farmers can
/ raise, afording them a market and
stopping the shipment of outside pro-
duce. The big store handles every
thing, as will be seen by their an
nouncement. Thos, O'Neill is mauag-
er and J. D. Riley secretary of the
firm, and with Chas. Pole, Will Bauer
and Miss Jessie Mcdonald will 1cok
! after the customers.
Saturdays special school election
for the purpose of authorizing the
district to levy a special tax of eight
mills for school purposes, caused but
little interest, although the voters
were divided on the question. Few
| took enough interest to vote, only 50
votes being cast. and the tax carried
| by the slim majority of one vote.
J. A. Horton and A1merion Adams
| were judges and W D. Baldwin clerk
of the election. This will permit a
full nine months term of school, and
the extra three months will be a great
value to the scholars. A good educa-
ton is about all the heritage most
every effort and sacrifice within rea-
son should be made to that end. When
the tax payers provide so we'll, every
step should be made to utilize the
benefits to the fullest advantage, and
the children should do their part
toward receiving good education.
Last Saturday the Shelton base ball
club played a nine of Indians from
the reservation and the game was
rather exciting for time, with odds
largely in favor of the dusky sports.
However, the local club got away with
the game. the Indians going to pieces
in the middle of the game. Anybody
who thinks that our Indians don't I'M
derstand the national game and cant
put up pretty good ball is mistaken
there are some fine players among
them, and several old men who ge-
there along with the youths. g
