I. H. Thurman informs us that as
soon as he can get carpenters to work
he is going to fix up some lodging rooms
above the restaurant. The carpenters
of this section had all the work they
could do all summer, and more too.
Another proof of the country's steady
growth and increasing prosperity.
E. G. Hammond, of the Farmers
State Bank Of Plainview, Nebraska, has
been in the city several days. He came
here with Banker Ehrhardt and is also
looking for bank location. AS Mr..
Ehrhardt will establish bank here,
Mr.. Hammond will hunt up different
location.
Parties of Indians are outfitting here
daily for their annual hunting trip. For
several years past, while their annuities
from the government were coming in,
they have not hunted much, but with
the cessation of these payments they
are getting back into the old routine.
It seems to be question of root hog or
die with them now.-Free Press.

Frank Wright had a narrow escape
last Saturday. He was returning from
-Grangeville with four horse team when
man suddenly rode up behind the
horses and excited them. They began
to rear and plunge, getting themselves
tangled up in the stretchers and har-
ness and finally threw Frank off the
high seat to the ground. He struck on
his head and received an ugly wound,
which at first looked serious enough,
but is now healing nicely. No other
damage was done.
G. M. Butler, of the firm of Butler &
Livick, real estate agents, of Sites, ar
rived in the city last night with three
men, from North Dakota, Minnesota
and Nebraska respectively. He is now
showing them some of the choice lands
in this section. Butler & Livick have
done considerable business around here.
One of their recent sales is the Surridge
tract near Falrview, comprising no
acres. This tract was sold to Jewell
Bros. of Waverly, Nebraska, and Klon-
dixie, for $4,000. They were also in.
strumental in disposing of the Barth
place to Mr.. Kaschmitter.
Gus Jorgenson, proprietor of one of
the finest and best cultivated orchards
in the upper country, was in town last
Wednesday with wagon load of apples.
He gave.to us sample pailful of the
finest apples we ever saw on the prairie.
They were of the Yellow Transparent
variety, big as two fists, and the flavor
could never be equaled by irrigated pro-
duct. They were eimply Immense.
Camas Prairie is truly wonderfully
productive country. Everything you
plant here will grow and make a big
crop. We are nearly surprised that
someone hasn't had confidence enough
in the productiveness of the country to
plant field OF cotton or rice.
President Roosevelt narrowly escaped
tragic death at Pittsfeld, Mass, last
Wednesday. He had been making a
speech to thousands of people and at
the conclusion took his carriage to visit
an old friend. Besides the president
there were in the vehicle Secretary Cor
telyou, Governor Crane, Secret Service
Agent William Craig and David Pratt.
AS soon as the presidential party start
ed procession formed in front and be-
mind the carriage and moved up the
street. Just at the foot of Howard hill
the procession was compelled to cross
the street car track, and just as the
presidents carriage was on the track it
was struck by motor car going full
speed. Craig and one the horses were
instantly killed, the president, governor
and driver were badly bruised, while
the secretary escaped unhurt. No one
seems to know why the car could not be
stopped. The motorman and conductor
are under arrest.
