The people of our county seat who
have not visited Bruneau valley within
the last few months will be surprised
to note the pretty little village which
has sprung up where for SO many years
were only store and a postoffice.
During the past summer much build
ing has been done, and much more
begun.
The new hotel being built by Dave
Hyde is to be OF two stories with a
basement. This last offers room for a
cellar, storerooms and bath and bar
Der room. The first floor will contain
dining hall kitchen, offices and the
private rooms of the proprietor's fam
ny. The upper floor will be given
over TO bedrooms and public parlor.
The building is in the form OF an l.
facing the southeast corner of the street.
Under the management OF such genial
Kindly hearted, hospitable people as
Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde this will become q
delightful country inn.
West OF the hotel, Big Crocheron
has built neat three-roomed cottage
where his family now reside.
just above the hotel ID. II. Spencer
has built cosy cottage adjoining his
store. In the course Of time, under
the care of his tasty wife, it will be
greatly beautitied by lawn, trees and
shrubbery. He expects soon to build
warehouse adjoining his present
storeroom on the north.
Across the street from Spencer's
Pat Kelley does a blacksmithing bust
ness in the old shop which he now
owns. Mr.. Kelley tells me that ne
has done an excellent and increasing
trade all summer. He hopes soon to
employ thorough up-to.date me-
chanic, and will greatly improve his
facilities for doing all kinds of work.
In the rear of his shop he is preparing
to build dwelling house. Success to
You, Pat, in an honest, trusty trade.
On the hill above the Harris prop
erty recently bought by Richie Hodge
Is the new school house. This build
ing has just been painted inside and
out, and when furnished will be one of
the most attractive school buildings in
the county. The school board con
templates leveling and identifying the
grounds.
Chris Baltzer is building large
wareroom on the north side of his
store. He is planning to remove the
partitions from his present store build
ing and thus enlarge his store space.
VIM. Hodge, ST., is erecting meat
market in the rear OF his residence,
He expects to begin business immed.
lately.
just before the Mountain Home
road crosses the bridge one sees Mr..
Benham's feed stable, called the "Old
Kentucky Home" Here many team.
sters find shelter and food for their
weary animals.
While Bruneau is improving in so
many ways, many noxious influences
are at work which could in measure
be counteracted. A free reading r, ON
neatly and comfortably furnished with |
games and other amusen4ents pro-
vided, is greatly needed, and will
eventually be supplied. Already a
healthy lodge association OF some 20
odd members has been formed. A Sun
day school well attended by the child.

adults, meets every Sunday.
The writer has only the pleasantest
memories OF the kindly hospitality OF
Bruneau friends and takes this oppor-
tunity Of thanking them.
