! lent homes for themselves, their chill
dren and their grandchildren, and, be-

growth.
Residents in the Hart and Doran addi-
lions to the city are very anxious that a
good. substantial walk be built in their
direction before the advent of cold Wea-
Their. That portion of the city, with its
fine residences, well kept lawns and
thrifty orchards, is one of the most at
tractive of the city. If the intervening
stretch of land between the end of the
sidewalk On Second street and the begin
| ming of the main street of the addition
could be connected with a good walk,
making travelling on foot a pleasure
rather than a source of discomfort, that
part of the city would see an unprece-
denied boom in its real estate. 1t is prob
able that some measures will be taken in
! this direction SOOn by the owners of prop
erty in thisl locality.
The board of commissioners are in

tract was awarded to the owest bidder,
William Young of S~tevensvllle. Bids
ranging from $2,4OO to $4, 400 for repairing
the road on the south fork of west fork
of the Bitter Root were opened and the
contract for such repairs will be let some
time today. 1t will cost the county fully
$12 ,OC0 to repair the damage done to the
roads and bridges by the principal
streams during the high water last year.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed
throughout the county at the high rent
paid and the i~ncOmmOdious quarters OF
the county officers. 1t is generally be-
lieved that it woul be economy for the
county to put up public buildings at once
at a reasonable price, rather than to suf-
fer the present inconvenience. and at the
next meeting of the board it is said that
a petition will be presented asking the
commissioners to call a special election
for the purpose of bonding the county fol-
the buildings.
A complaint was filed in the justice
court yesterday which will reveal a sen
satiOn and romance. While the complaint
, is so worded that it is impossible to tel
just what offense is charged, and those

about exhausted, and cool, delightful au
