E. NJ. Nelson and son, of White Bird,
passed through here Wednesday from
Baker City, Ore, enreute home. Mr..
Nelson Jr. has peen working in the !
Baker City mines for the past four years,
The show which played here Friday
night had decided case of bad luck.
The audience was not large enough to
pay the hall rent, and as the show came
here broke the most of them gave saloon
entertainments enough to be able to ]
walk out of town with a jingle. They
scattered to the four winds from here,
| Tuesdays Tribune quotes an inter-
view with Contractor Wilkinson, of the
P. & 1. n, which states that that road 1
will build to Lewiston within the next
| two years. This is the road which is
| surveyed to this place. Mr.. wilkinson
further says that 40 miles OF extension
will be built this year, thus taking the
road ever the Salmon Divide.
A miner by the name of Jones was
blown to atoms near. Pollock Monday
while thawing dynamite. 1t is reported
that ten stloks of giant powder exploded
at once and that there was nothing left
of the man. except few fragments Of
bones, all the flesh having been COM
plstely disintegrated. Further par

Walter Brown looks as though he had
fallen heir to fortune. He is at the
present writing about the happiest man
in Cottonwood. Last Tuesday evening
his wife gave birth to fine large boy,
and, as mother and son are doing well,
Walter has just reason TO be proud. Ii
you want to see him 'swell up' just
call him papa &
f. D. Clarke has purchased DR.. Tru-
tits drug store and has been busily en-
gagged all week remodelling the interior
of the building. He informs us that he

the way here and that he intends to
have one of the most complete egtab-
lishmeRts Of its kind in this part of the
state. Dr. Truitt will have an Office in
the rear of the store and will be pre-
pared, as heretofore, to accommodate
all his patients.
1t seems strange to us that some one
of the owners of residence property here
does not see the chance to coin money
by building cottages on the lots and
renting them. There is at present not
vacant house in Cottonwood and sew
eral are occupied that are scarcely fit for
habitation. Nice cottages could be
rented at good figures and would al
ways be worth what it cost to build
them. Furthermore, improved prop
erty is always easier to sell than unim-
proved.
The ladies of the town are getting up
q Christmas tree and social for Christ
mas eve, Decemb Der oath, TO take place
in the banquet room Of the Odd Eel
lows hall. Get in, everybody, and help
the enterprise along-show the little
ones good time. Bring in your pres
ents and have them put on the tree.
LATER.-It seems that after consider
able wrangling with one or two mem
bers OF the lodge and some help from
several business men, the ladies were
finally enabled to secure the lower hall
after they interviewed the directors.
A fine Christmas tree will be installed
in the hall and program OF songs, reci-
tations, etc. appropriate to the occasion,
is being prepared for rendition. A good
deal of active work has been done by
several of the ladies and it is beyond Il

The board of village trustees was to
have met in special session Wednesday
evening for the purpose OF acting on the
application for franchise of the Central
Idaho Light & Power Co., bnt owing to
the illness of one OF the members and
the absence of another no meeting was
held. The hoard will meet for that pur-
pose next Monday evening and the
franchise will without doubt be granted.
The company asks no exclusive fran
elise, states its III IS and, furthermore,
guarantees the cost of advertising in
case they do not live up to the letter OF
their contract with the village to com
mence construction by a certain time.
The proposition is eminsntly fair. The
company proposes to erect 4 10O0-horse
power plant either on the Salmon or
Clearwater, according to which place is
most suitable, and furnish the entire
