Under glaring head lines last Sun

good fortune of two former townsmen,
Leland Wayland and his son, Nash.
The Waylands have struck 1t rich at
Thunder, They have already sold
claims enough to hiring them $3.50, 900

The first game of ball here this season
was played last Sunday by picked up
mines from Cottonwood and Rocky
Butte. The game was played at the
Butte. The score was 16 to 8 in favor
OF Cottonwood and was not very excit.
ing. A good game is promised to come |
off here Sunday between picked mines
OF both places. We understand that a
second nine is organizing here with the
avowed intention of doing up the one
already organized,
We hear every day that there are a
large number of homeseekers arriving |
in Grangeville and it is surprising TO us
to note that no endeavor is being made |
on the part of local parties to bring
some of them over our way, where the |
only REAL farming lands in this country
are to be had. The homeseekers are
told in all places from Spokane down
that they should not go to Cottonwood |
on account of the small pox, when if the
thing were sifted it would be found that
there is no small pox here. The reason
outsiders are knocking against Cot
'tonwood is simply because the real es-
tate firms of Spokane, Lewiston and
other places have never been able to Sc
cure any holdings here, and have Sc
cured them elsewhere. 1t is q natural
consequence that they desire to sell ,
their own lands and will keep people |
out OF this section, for they know that
the best place to farm is right in our
own vicinity.
