l. ID. Oatman has had a force II
men at work this week moving the old
Gardner house, preparatory to putting
up = new brick hotel on the site. The
new building will be the full width OF
the four lots and at least forty feet
deep. This will be an enterprise that
Red Cloud has long needed and we
wish him success in his venture.
The fire department are making an
effort to secure n new cart and five
hundred feet Of hose which will be
kept in a room provided by g. j. Plat
in the new lumber yard. Their efforts
in this line are worthy and should re.
cieve the cooperation Of all who be
lieve in fire protection. There should
be a hose cart in the first ward, as a
four or six blocks run sometimes
means a considerable loss By fire.
W. N. Rio .ardson this week pur.
chased the First National Bank build
ing on Webster street. We are glad "a
see u local moneyed men taking in
these properties and Keeping the rem
tai money at home. Ia the past there
aas been too much Of he incomes OF
uur business men and The buildings in
which they were located, which went
to eastern parties and the city received
no benefit. Let the good work go on
and may the time come some day when
every business, residence and business
block are swnsa by local people.

prepared for them. The RIverton

to make the Red Cloud lodge enjoy

The festivities were kept up until the
