The Pavilion is a great addition to
Shoshone and is a model room for dane
ing. The floor is excellent and space
ample. Now is the time to complete it
by placing building paper on the sides

their shoulder to the wheel and see that
this is accomplished.
Tourist travel to the Falls will soon
begin. The Rio Grande Western will |
send few excursions up from their To-
cality. An electric car line is what is |
needed to make Shoshone Falls the |
greatest resort in the west. Such line
could be established at a small expense |
and would pay an enormous interest on
the capital invested. 1t is to be hoped |
that some capitalist will visit the Falls
this season who will be tempted to start
the enterprise.
Every town has its different class Of
citizens. Some pull on every string that
will benefit themselves and their neigh
bors, and sometimes if thew do not see
much for themselves but do see that
their nelghbors will be benefited, pull
Just as hard. Others never pull unless
they can see the direct benefit to them
selves and sometimes let go if they think
heir neighbors will be equally benefit
ed. They are too selfish to be of any
benefit outside of simply adding one to
he population and consuming the
amount OF food necessary for their ex-
stence. -Register.

lorse fat, Iniun have heap good time

t white man, no hurt him." Quite
lumber Of bucks and squaws have been
n town this week and thev all say the
anchmen on Camas lie, and that the
indians have done no harm whatever.
