REAL ESTATE IN DEMAND

With the demand for Weiser real

contemplated residences.

1880. DR.. Sleeves purchased the
property with the intention of erect
inc handsome two-stOry brick at
an early date, probably within the
year.
This compels the Signal TO cast
about for new quarters and it is pos
sible that it will erect brick build
ing, designed to its needs, along side
the present building The presen
building has been inadequate to th'
business for some time which is eviden
to the most casual observer visiting the
papers headquarters, and the necessit,
for enlarged quarters induced th
sale to DR.. Sleeves at so low figure
The State Bank of Idaho is serious
ly considering the erection of a fin
brick block on the corner recentl
purchased opposite the Opp & Davi
hardware store.
The fact that the Famous is grow
ing so rapidly that its present habit

suggest the possibility of anothe
brick structure on the Fuller propert
opposite the Signal office.

stock and workmanship to the trade
conditions which warrant their pres
ent important move. His conserva-
tive course since locating in Weiser
has commended him to the fullest
confidence of the people.
The success of Mr.. Dean since be-
coming a member of the firm has
been so marked that special mention
is deserved. Three years ago he
entered the employ of Mr.. Harris
beginning with no experience in that
line but with a determination to
master it thoroughly. By close ap-
plication to work, an unhagglns
ambition to push his house to the
front, and the observance of those
steady habits which are essential tt
success, he soon found himself a
the head of one of the most import
ant institutions of the town. Hi
successful use in the commercia
world is a striking recommendation
of his sterling qualities.
That the firm of Harris q Deal
NAV continue to thrive and its bust
ness expand is the sincere wish O
the SIGNAL, for it means anothe
step toward commercial supremac
for Weiser.

That Boise Thunder Mountain
map is Lu Lu-a peach! Its true
value and reliability will only de-
velop when some cayuse navigator
takes his departure from Boise and
sails away on lines as projected on
the alleged guide to gold. He
would pass directly through Salmon
Meadows and leave Thunder Noun
tain, his object point, trife over
SO miles east. This route can be
improved by moving Boise matter
of 20 degrees east, and by this means
a tangent can be produced between
the two localities. "What crooked
methods do these Spartans use to
achieve success; they even lie to
themselves.
The excitement over Thunder
Mountain extends from one ocean to
the other but it is the keenest right
at home, which is out Of the usual
order in late mining booms All one
has to do to get money is to have
bona fide locations in the Thunder
Mountain country. Boise is full OF
4 men ready to buy locations. A few
! weeks ago Alex Johnston staked

t the district and secured number of
9 locations. This week Alex and
a Rasche went to Boise and sold three

Nominee for Sheriff.

Octave Sicotte, the nominee for
sheriff of Baraga county on the Re-
publican ticket, was born in Mon
treal, Canada, in 1868, and came to
the states in 1872. He resided in
Marquette four years and then came
to L'Anse, where he has since re-
sided. At the age of fifteen years
he started to learn the blacksmith
trade, and at the present time is en-
gagged in that business. When
twenty-one years of age his father
and mother died within nine months
time, leaving him with six children
to rear and care for, which he has
faithfully accomplished. He has
been Republican since he was old
enough to vote, and believes he is
entitled to the support Of the vot-
ers of the county for the Office which
he seeks. He solicits their assist
tance.

the horses were running away and
had proceeded several blocks before
they were stopped. Edgerton and
his partner were arrested.
Columbus Edgerton is former
resident of L'Anse. He is known
as very good fellow yhen sober,
but on spree he is very ugly.
The men will not be tried on the
charge, as the evidence introduced
at the examination showed that the
defendants had not whipped their
horses or started them intention
ally. Earl Edgerton, father Of Co.
lumbus Edgerton, was in Lake Lin
den Thursday and while there he
visited the family Of the deceased.
According to the proceedings taken
in the case the son could not be
held in any way for damages by the
parents of the young lady, but
nevertheless Mr.. Edgerton paid the
family considerable sum as they
are not in the most comfortable OF
circumstances, and the act in a
measure helped to alleviate their
sorrow.

Judge VANITY, of the federal court
has decided in favor Of the Michigan
Land and Iron company, Lord Bras
sey's corporation in its fight against
the homesteaders over lands in Mar
quette, Houghton and Ontonagon
railroad grant, purchased by it in
1881. The title to thousands of
acres Of choice upper peninsula
lands is directly and indirectly in
volved. 1t is held that the title of
the company is affirmed by acts Of
congress and that the tracts are not
subject to homestead entry. This
ends the costly litigation that has
been going on for many years.
