Died

SHEPHERD-At her home in this
city Friday evening, July 9th, 1900,
of childbirth and fever, Mrs. S. H 4.
Shepherd, aged about 40 years.
This is indeed a very sad
case and the profound sympathy of
this community is with Mr.. Shep-
herd, and the three little children
who are left in the world without a
kind mothers care.
Mrs. Shepherd was a good, faith
full Christian woman who made warm
friends wherever she went. She al
ways had a good word for every one,
and she will be greatly missed by
those who knew her. She was a
faithful wife and devoted mother,
always striving to make her home
what it should be, happy one in
every respect. She was member
OF the Congregational church 81 this
city.
The funeral was held Saturday at
D p. m. from the Congregational
church, and a very large number of
sorrowing friends were in attendance.
The interment took place in Weiser
cemetery.

General Manager p. P. Shelby re-
turned from the east Tuesday after
noon, and brings good news to those
interested in the p & |. N. Ask
ed regarding the sale of the road to
the Union Pacific Mr.. Shelby stated
that this was not the case, nor was such
thing in contemplation. The story
that Mr.. Hall was trying to let go of
his venture in this county was made
out of the most active and vivid
imagination. AS to the future of the
road, Mr.. Shelby stated that there
was all probability of it's extension,
at least as far as Council, this fall.
Every one knows that the cost of
steel for track has been excessive all
this year, and so, to the lay reader
it looks like good business to let
operations lapse for time, or till
demands for the rails have become
less, and this is evidently what
the p IL |. N has had in view
all the time. That the price is now
on the down grade probably means
that track laying will again begin
within a short time and the line put
through to Council this fall, to be
resumed into the Seven Devils as
early IN the spring as may be- This
is not an ''inspired" suggestion, but
seems in line with the facts, especial
ly when taking into consideration
Mr.. Shelby's admission as to extern
sion.
MIR. Shelby says, also, that the
people of the east are looking to the
west for much of their investments,
though to get the capital great care
must be taken not to mislead in any
particular. He thinks there will be
great immigration to this and adj
joining states during the next few
months, and that of the best charac-
ter. There is considerable unrest
among the middle classes there, and
there is no country that appeals to
these people so strongly as one hay
ing great mines and mining possibili-
ties. During his absence Mr.. Shelby
visited New York, Boston, Cincin-
natl, and other important cities.
