Next Summer Will Witness Great Activ.

TALK OF ERECTING An OPERA HOUSE
Brick and Stone Probably Be More Of
Feature In Structures Of
the Future.

The removal of the county seat
to Grangevile has awakened re.
newed interest in business of all
kinds, and more especially in build.
ing. A large number of contracts
have already been signed, and next
summer will witness the greatest
building activity in the history OF
the town. Evan Evans let the con-
tract this week for the construc-
tion of new building 25x6O feet
adjoining the II. & II. hardware
store. 1t will be two stories high,
the upper floor being fitted up for
office rooms. The lower floor will
be occupied by the H. & H. people
who intend to add a large stock of
wall paper, house lining and lfno-
cum to their hardware business
and thus be in position to furnish
everything necessary to complet-
ing home ready for occupancy.
A number Of our business men
are now arranging for the erection
OF an opera house and, while the
details have not yet been completed,
it is practically certain to be among
the substantial improvements OF
the coming season. At least q
dozen contracts for residences have
already been let aud as many more
contemplated.
We are also assured by those in
a position to know that another
brickyard will be started in the
spring, which would indicate that
the time for cheap frame buildings
is past and tha, in the future brick
and stone will figure more promi-
nently in the construction of the
buildings of Grangeville.
The great scarcity of lumber has
had much to do with retarding
work this fall, and mill men should
put forth special effort to see
that the demand is supplied when
spring opens.

RENEWED RAILROAD TALK,
Looks Like Something Might
Be Done Soon.

The question of railroad building
is again attracting attention aud it
begins to look as il something was
really going to be done. 1t is re-
ported on good authority that the
Q. r. & N. is putting up several
buildings for use in storing railroad
supplies between Lewiston and Ri
paria, and that the engineers
camps along the route are already
receiving large quantities of sup.
plies. Thomas Greenough, of the
firm of Wren 4 Greenough of Mis-
sOula, who have the contract for
building the road, reached Spokane
last week and it is understood that
his trip there is to completes ar
rangements for the early inaugu-
ration of work. All of these things
would indicate that the road to
Lewiston was going to be built at
once, and it is reasonably certain
that whenever that road is built a
feeder will be extended on to Camas
fralrle and to Grangeville.
The Clearwater road as it now
stands has never been satisfactory
to either the company or the patrons
as all the freight received or sent
out of q territory 80 by 60 miles in
extent has to be raised and lowered
nearly 2OOO feet in taking it to and
from the road, thus making the
cost so great that it is practically
prohibitive when it comes to ship
ping hay and grain. The o. r. &
N. already owns its right of way
on the prairie, and there is little
doubt that if it once gets to Lewis
ton it will build over this route
and thus tap the very center Of the
richest agricultural country in the
state of Idaho.

STRIKE ON LIBERTY BELL,
Pay Streak Four Feet Thick
and Sparkles With Gold.

and Sparkles With Gold.
Phil Ayatt came out from the
Hump Tuesday and reports a phe-
nomenally rich strike as having
just been made on the Liberty
Bell group. This property con-
sists of three claims between the
Big Buffalo and Wiseboy and is
supposed to contain combinations
of ledges from both properties. An
interest was secured last fall by
Seattle parties through George L.
Hedges who Immediately began
development work has been push
ing things vigorously since. The
new strike is about four feet in
thickness which sparkles with the
yellow metal and is part of an i'm
mense ledge over 20 feet wide.
The ore is free milling, and accord
ing to reports the pay shoot will
yield 5000 per ton, all the balance
of the ledge being pay ore carrying
from SO to S12 q ton. In character
the ore is similar to that in the
Big Buffalo and is believed to be
the same ledge.
Mr.. Hedges is at present in
Seattle where he went some time
ago, but is expected back in a few
days. The local parties who hold
interests in the group are Phil
Ayatt, J. T. McDuflie and E. NJ.
Griffith, all of whom are highly
elated over the report.

SHOWS HEALTHY CROWTt
Idaho County Rapidly Coming
to the Front.

'SO O'ey 'oP'Niy NOttiiII6
to the Front.
While Idaho county is enjoying
her full degree of prosperity her
rapid growth is nowhere more no.
ticeahle than on the assessment
rolls. When j. 1. Overman was
elected assessor in 1900 our assessed
valuation was $1,715, ,299.75; the
following year it jumped to 2,O79,-
856. So, and this year the regularly
assessed property amounts to $2,-
297, 1868. Besides this, there are
subsequent assessments aggregat-
ing over $780, 900, and our share OF
taxes on over 200 head of tran
sient sheep which will run the sum
total up to over two and one-third
millions.
While this is largely due to the
splendid growth of the country,
much credit must be given the
officer who has diligently worked
to see that all property was listed.
This is the first year when tran
sient sheep have been assessed at
all accurately, and the tax from
this source alone amounts to con-
siderable and will continue to in
crease as our large mountain area
is strong attraction for sheepmen
hunting summer pasture. On the
whole, our growth compares favor
ably with any part Of the state,
and with the development OF our
mines and railroad on the prairie
it will be hut short time until
Idaho county will be among the
richest in the state.
