The Thicl-Dorman building is
nearly completed. This building is
certainly an advertisement to its
owners and benefit to the town. G.
Arthur, the builder, certainly deserves
much praise for the erection of such
a building.
Our merchants our now kept busy
taking down their summer stock OF
goods and laying in a new fall and
winter stock. A trip down Main street
shows the enterprise and industry of
our merchants by the artistic display
in the show windows.
spanjer & Co. this week received a
large consignment Of goods in the
shape of boots and shoes, hats and
caps and other articles for general
comfort. They are receiving new
goods every week, and you will do well
if YOU watch their different lines and
prices.
The cool weather the past week or
two has not dampened or depressed
business in Ritzville, but we are still
on the boom. New houses are lot
every day to the contractors, and in
dependent carpenters all have their
hands full. Business is increasing
and immigrants to this county crowd
every train.
The hobo element that line up and
down the railroads are getting rather
obnoxious. Petty thievery is being
reported from many neighboring
towns and Ritzville is not escaping
and If it was not for the vigils nee of
our peace officers probably we would
hear Of some "mix-ups" within our
own borders.
Yesterday papers were made out
giving the ownership of the Blue
Front store into the hands Of Mr..
hurry of Spokane, Despair & Tuttle
retiring. Since they started their
store they have constantly built up a
trade for themselves, and it is with a
feeling of regret that they retire. Mr..
hurry will handle the same line Of
goods, novelties of all kinds, shapes
and sizes. He will open up in full
blast in about week.
p. H. Grubb, manager for the Taco
ma Grain company at this place, is
one Of the most public-spirited men
in the town. This was proven last
Saturday, when Mr.. Grubb at his own
expense put several men to work
cleaning out the streets in both di-
rections from his warehouse. The
rocks we're removed and holes filled
up, and there is now one Of the
smoothest and cleanest streets in the
town. If other business men would
follow his example the town would
soon become great deal more pre-
sentable and healthy.
