Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1902-03-20

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
Paul Wade is expected back to
Grangeville in a few days, and is
having the Grange building fitted
up preparatory to putting in a
stock of goods.
Representative Glenn has de-
clared himself democrat and
about all there is left of the pop
ulist party now is the self-appoin-
ted chairman, Andrews, and a
small republican corruption fund.
Two newspapers are soon to be
established in Thunder Mountain,
one by George j. Lewis, formerly
proprietor of the Boise Capital, and
one by III. W. Mansfield of the
Nampa Leader. Both will un-
doubtedly be democratic in politics.
The post Office department is
advertising for bids to carry the
mail from Grangeville to Mead
ows six times a week on a schedule
of % hours between the two points.
Bids will be received up to April
9Th.
Joe Vincent and family, who
have been visiting relatives in this
city for some time past, left yes
terday for their home at Kendrick.
Joe is talking some of returning,
and he has many friends here who
would be glad to see him become a
resident of Grangeville.
J. A. Sparks, a recent arrival
from Kansas, and N. Boyd of Spo-
kane have been added to the large
force of clerical assistants. in the
Big Buffalo Cash Store. They are
both pleasant gentlemen and no
doubt will make new friends for
this already popular establishment.
Geo. V. Harrington, proprietor
of the Elk City Meat Market, came
out from that place Friday and re-
ports that considerable snow has
fallen in the mountains during the
recent storm. He says business is
good in his town, there being con-
siderable travel into Thunder
Mountain over that route.
Mrs. Moser has made some sub
stantial improvements about the
Moser House, moving the Office
into the room formerly used as a
parIor and extending the dining
room to the front end of the build
ing. The change adds much to
the appearance of the interior of
the building and better facilitates
the accommodation of guests.
A meeting was held at the Right
Drug Store Sunday and steps taken
toward organizing cornet band.
Fifteen pieces have already been
arranged for, and 1. c. Hatta-
5baugh will act as manager and DIR.
H. V. Riggs director. Another
meeting will be held tonight to effect
permenant organization when prac-
tice will begin. We wish them
success.
The postofiice has advertised for
bids for carrying the mail to Roose-
welt, Thunder Mountain, from Ket-
chum and from Idaho City. The
proposals are to state the frequency
of the service and the time sched-
ule. Proposals will be received up
to April II, the service to COM
mence July l. Only one of these
routes will be established.
The fire department was called
out last Saturday by a fire in the
residendee of Walter Hickerson.
The fire originated in a bedroom
where nearly all their clothing was
kept and had gained such Roadway
when discovered that nearly every
thing in the room was DESTROYED.
With prompt assistance from neigh
bors the fire was put out without
turning on water from the hy-
drants, thus avoiding additional
damage from water. AS it is, Mr.
Hickerson estimates his loss at
fully $3.50. The cause of the fire
is not known.
Hon. A. f. Parker, of Grange
vile, is attending the meeting of the
state ST. Louis flair commission,
which held a session today and
outlined the plans for an Idaho ex-
hibit. Mr. Parker is a former res
ident of southern Idaho, aud re-
sided here for many years. The
defeat of the old annexation move
ment is credited in a large part to
him and his influence among the
people. The outlook is good for
a larger democratic vote in the
northern counties than in 1900.
He advocates holding the next state
convention at Lewiston. as he
thinks the city is justly entitled to
recognition along this line. Boise
