A large lynx was killed near
Tolo last Saturday by one of the
Horning boys. The animal had
been Stealing chickens and grew
SO bold it came into the yard in
broad daylight.
The little son Of Care Peterson
was killed near Troy the first of the
week by log rolling over him.
The log had been hauled up for
wood and in some way the boy
loosened the fastennings and got
caught. His skull was crushed.
Traffic is congested on the
Northern Pacific line on the Kend
rick hill and great difficulty is be-
ing experienced in getting the large
amount of freight from the Clear
water and Culdesac branches haul
ed out becaused of this heavy grade.
A recent assay of the ore in the
Mckinley gold mine in the Salmon
river country gave a return of
$1,000 per ton. This property is
very promising and the stockhold-
ers are jubilant over their good
fortune. The majority of the stock
is controlled by Wardner and Kel
logg people. Work is being stead
lily pushed forward and mill will
soon be erected to handle the ore
There lie now no doubt that the

Enterprisiag Citizens raise $1,000 to
pipe a Sprins into Town.

We took run up to Westlake
Tuesday afternoon and found that
burg rapidly recovering from it's re-
cent fire and showing much more
prosperous appearance than for
merly. There are about two dozen
carpenters at work and four build
ings are in the course of construc

large two story hotel being erected
by Yates q Vosburgh is almost en-.
closed and the inside work will
soon be commenced. This building
when furnished will cost in the
nelghborhood of $4,000. The
framework of the new Presbyterian
church is up and partially enclosed
and will be completed as rapidly
as possible 1t will he neat edi.

J. B. Rice has decided to rebuild

Yates & Vosburgh saloon on the
corner occupied by the old hall, a
new hall building in some other
location, and the Eastman hotel,
which will be erected on the cite of
the one just burned. Part of this
building will also be used for the
Sempert saloon. When the build.

anticipated are completed Westlake
will have much better and more
stable appearance than formerly
and the effects of the fire will never
be noticed.
Determining to profit by their
experience and be prepared in fu-
ture the Westlake citizens are now
showing a progressive spirit and
will soon supply the town with
water to afford protection against
fire. A few days since Messrs.
Crom d Stewart purchased some
land about 24 miles west of town
on which is located never-failing

he was taken down to his own house He
