Johnstown, Ohio. July 8, 1905
Editor Nugget, Silver City, Idaho.
Dear sir:-I want to obtain informa-
tion about my brother, Peter COPELAND,
a miner. Mr.. Ed. Stevens,lwho recent
ly moved here from Clayton. Idaho,
brought the rumor that my brother
died in Silver City about three years
ago. Someone, unknown by name to
Mr.. Stevensfin passing his ranch, told
of my brothers death.
My brother was a mau who made
friends easily wherever he went-un-
!doubtedly some of the readers of your
paper will remember him and can tell
ne something of him. l would be glad
to learn that the rumor of his death is
untrue; but if it is true would like to
know the particulars about it, and also
the names of the friends who cared for
him during his sickness.
Any information concerning my
brother will be grateful received, and
If you would publish this letter in
Nugget / would greatly appreciate the
favor. Very respectfully,
S. L. COPELAND.

ms TALLATrON
Excellent Program Followed by

Most Enjoyable Dance.


While this is supposed to be the
quiet season in social aud fraternal
circles. it had not the appearances of
such at the Knights of Pythias castle
hall last Wednesday eyenins, when
Silver City Lodge No. 25 installed their
officers. Early in the evening the
knights, with members of their fami-
lies and limited number of Invited
friends, began to gather at their castle
hall, where the installation ceremonies,
interspersed with musical program
took place. Afterwards there was
dancing, then the excellent banquet
and a. ter that more dancing, dancing
until Old Sol began to kiss the top
most peaks on War Eagle.
The program was as follows:
Introduction of grand officers by
grand master at arms.
Selection by Jefferys' orchestra.
Address by Archdeacon Jennings.
Opening ode
Installation of chancellor COM
msnder
Solo and accompaniment by Misses
Gaylord.

late and master of work.

seal, master of exchequer and master
of finance.

Installation of master at arms, inner
and outer guard.

Grand Chancellor John Crete.
Prayer by Archdeacon jennings.
Closing ode by all present.
The banquet, which was gotten up
and served by o. d. Brum baugh at the
War Eagle Hotel. was especially praise
worthy, and, while everyone had their
appetites with them, the good things to
eat seemed to be always a hand. Many
of the large number who were there to
partake of it remarked that 1T WAS the
finest spread which had ever been got
ten up in the city.

from Nampa, and one car with 20
horses was consumed. Every effort
was made by the train crew to save the
burning car, but the fire had gained
such headway it was impossible to save
the animals, and all perished but one
that accidentally fell out of the open
door. The.shipment was consigned to
McCreary and Cary, of Omaha.
Reynolds had the day and had a
great time on the Fourth: The cele-
bration was most. interesting one. 1t
began with the singing Of patriotic
songs, followed by races and sports of
all kinds. and wound up with grand
ball in the evening under the auspices
of the ladies of Reynolds, who are GER
tainly deserving of much credit for
thei, excellent management and glow
ing success of the whole affair. The
celebration and dance were largely at
tended by people from the surround
ing country; most sumptuous supper
was served at the hotel, the tables be-
ing decorated with large boquets of
roses and carnations. All who bad the
pleasure of attending, declared that
they had fine time, and wished the
great national holiday came oftener

The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-08

n the course of the past two weeks a. number of men from different sections Of Alabama have visited Birmingham for the purpose of making inquiries as to real estate with the view of investment. Some trades have resulted and others will prob ab,y follow.
 Mere significant. however, tl.an any actual investments by these visitors have beer their enthusiastic exp eSsions of faith as to the future of Birmingham faith which, they declared. Is ashared in by the people of the sections from which they came. This forecasts free invest ments by the planters and country mer- chants of Alabama in Birmingham prop erty as soon as the cotton crop shall have been gathered.
 Intelligent people in the agricultural re- giors of this country discovered long ago that real estate In growing city is the safest and best form of investment.
 And where will you find city in all the United States with more diversified resources than Birmingham, or one whose present and future better assurances to the investor?
 RESULTS OF THE FAIR
 The State Fair will attract thousands or prosperous Alabamians to this city. They will leave large sum of money here, but that is small item compared with the possibilities which may result from the fair. Attractions of this klai tenc to the increase of population and the expansion of trade. Birmingham IS ';s own best advertisement. Its atmosphere is electric with inspiration. The eyes and the ears of the visitor convince him of the greatness of the city A day in Bir mingham makes a deeper impression upon his mind than tons of printers ink. if such a figure of speech is permissible. The success of the State Fair Is practi- cally assured. and 1t will have a wider

scope next year. The men in charge of 1t are not conducting it as a money-mak ing enterprise. Visitors will not go away feeling that they are the victims of ex- tortion, and when the return next year they will be astonished at the gigan- tic strides which the city shall have made in the twelve months.
 LOCAL. PRIDE INCREASES.
 Local pride in Birmingham is increasing daily. All of us now know that Birming ham is destined not only to be one of the greatest industrial centers in the United States. but a commercial and financial metropolitan all probability the most important city, in the strictly commercial sense. between the Ohio river and the mouth of the Mississippi. We are begin ming to have just appreciation of the varied resources of Birmingham and the complex interests which are working for iE advancement. Even the street corner stages who used to whine in the pessimis- tic key. now pitch their notes in an ex- ultant strain.
 DEBT OF GRATITUDE.
 And why not? The humblest citizen shares in the prosperity. The average of wages Is higher here than in any other city in the south. and employment is more steady. Labor will take toll of at least a quarter of million from the, erec- tion of the union passenger station to say nothing of the other great buildings which will be constructed in the course of a year. The children of the poor man have the advantages of the best public school system in the south. Any man who Is willing to work can acquire a home on easy terms. For the young man the opportunities are boundless. Quick promotion and large salary is his, If he have energy and ability The only man

now calling upon them to plan residences on the most elegant and expensive lines. The wealth of Birmingham is seeking ex- pression more and more in the artistic. There will be some wonderful revelations of the possibilities of landscape architect ure in the early future.
 ALMOST BEYOND GRASP.
 One might go on writing about the greatness of Birmingham for 1t is theme which cannot be exhausted Veteran news paper men who have been here for years and who are supposed to have thorough knowledge of the resources of the city, will confess to you that they do not know the Magnet City. It is doubtful whether any one man in Birmingham grasps fully what the city stands for in it's several aspects. The iron master knows that the supply of ore is inexhaustible, and he has a secret or two as to the low cost of production. The railroad man could tell. if he would. the enormous tonnage of the district. If the banker would take you into his confidence. you would be amazed by his revelation of the financial operations. The jobber. If he desired could astonish you with figures as to ex- pansion of the wholesale trade; and the retail merchant, If he had the time and inclination. could open your eyes as to the far-reaching extent of the mail order bus mess. The men in each line of industry and business are masters of it. but they are too engrossed in their work to give much thought to the developments of the others But. as REALTY stated in the foregoing. the greatness of Birmingham is dawning upon the public mind, and the pride which 1t is arousing is making public spirit which promises to work won ders in the most wonderful young city on the western hemisphere.
