The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1905-04-28

out since returning etr. crete mas mol
been feeling as well as be had been.
Kenneth H. Mcleod, one of the
comps old reliable mining men, after
having spent pleasant winter in the
east, visiting friends in Massachusetts
and Novo Scotia, loomed up here again
Monday, looking his finest and finding
everybody glad to welcome him home
again. Mack found all his friends in
the east ready to give him royal well
come, aud says he enjoyed every min
ute of his sojourn with them, but he
lost none of his love for Idaho by being
away.
Nugget has been handed, by the sec
retary of the Historical Society of Ida
no Pioneers, a number of blank appl-
cations for membership. There are
quite number of persons in this COM
munity who are eligible but not mem
bers. To keep in touch with the rap
idly depicting ranks of the old timers
who broke the trails aud endured the
hardships of the earlier days in our
now beautiful state, they all ought to
join this society. Drop in on Nugget
and get blank, and begin cores
pondence with the secretary.
The reservoir projected by the gov
ernment engineers, to be constructed
on Deer Flat, south of Caldwell aud
Nampa, is intended to cover an area of
5000 acres, or an area 20 per cent
greater than that covered by Payette
lake. Imagine one standing on War
Eagle few years hence and looking
toward the domes and spires of the
great city of Nampa, while shading his
eyes from the sheen of such resplend-
ent body of water as this will be, sgIist-
ening in the clear Idaho sunshinei But
great transformations are occurring in
beautiful Idaho.
The meanest person in town got busy
with bits of meat, loaded with strych-
nine, this week, and four or five can
ines went the way of all mortals, among

tofore Nugget would not have had to
think twice to name the person con-
/ sicered the meanest person in town,
but he would not even accuse him of
such mean act, and now he is left
guessing who the individual can be. A
decenter man would get gun and
shoot a bad dog, but putting out pois-
on to kill them indiscriminately is un-
worthy of the meanest Individual in
any community.
The Addie Mining & Milling Com
pany held it's annual stockholders
meeting in Silver City Tuesday night.
A couple of gentlemen from Chicago
who are interested in the company,
had rather an exciting experience in
getting here to attend the meeting. A
washout on the railroad in Wyoming
caused them the necessity of hiring q
special train to bring them on in time
and they arrived in Nampa too late to
catch the train for Murphy, and had tc
get special to that place and team
to bring them here, and succeeded in
reaching here just an hour before the
time advertised for the meeting II
was rather costly hurry up for them
but they did not seem to care so long
as they made it in time.
The ladies of the Columbia Club, OF
Boise, who have been so energetic in

more practical business basis. tTht
