BUILDING.

Building has been active the en-
tire season, but more so since the late
summer This is accounted for by the
fact that some uncertainty was felt
regarding the railroad outlook, but
as this question seems to have been
favorably settled, doubts have disap-
peared and the results are something
like $50, 900 worth of substantial
brick business buildings and great
number OF new dwelling houses, adj
ditions and betterments. That all
are needed Is fully evidenced from
the fact that there is not today an
empty house, either business or dwell
ing, in the city limits, and rs o
further indication OF prosperous local
conditions, the railway receipts for the
past month are the largest of any
month IN the history Of the town
This is due in a measure to the fact
that Weiser is the distributing point
for all the country, both mining and
agricultural, in the north And these
general benefits are not confined to
this town but outside new farmhouses
and other buildings show that the
source of this small wave of prosper
ity the farmers are receiving share
Of the benefits. And, in fact, all
things considered, ana in the lace Of
adverse circumstances and in spite of
the many unjust determinations in
flicted on us in common with other
portions OF the West Yet we have
great cause for self-gratidcation.
The land has yielded abundantly and
peace and plenty abide in our bor-
ders, and not only in material things
have we cause for satisfaction; in
moral and social matters the advance
ment has been marked. Our graded
school is filed to its utmost capacity,
and the academy shows vastly in
creased roll OF pupils. The outlook
is encouraging. New projects for the
further development are on foot and
fast assuming tangable form, and the
present indications are that the com
ing year will see Weiser bound to
the valleys and mountains of the north
with iron rails, and that the new or
, der will inaueerate new era thai
, will develop new industries, big
