stuart, who has charge of the building
OF the road, left Wednesday to arrange
camp and have things ready to begin
work. By this time they will no doubt
have begun operations and we expect to
see the road completed by the end of next
month, which will enable the residents
of the Joseph and Doumecq plains to
haul all their supplies from this point
next fall.
George Davis left late last week for
Lewiston after freight and is expected
back today.
Teams are all busy these days and it
is almost impossible to get even load
OF wood hauled.
Ed. Stolz was in the city yesterday
from Greencreek and left 81 so with us
on subscription.
Goldstone has just received the finest
line of dry goods and summer dress
goods ever seen in Cottonwood. Don't
fail to see them before purchasing.
VIM. Buettner was in town Tuesday
from his home near Keuterville and
with a "loud'' smile informed us that a
bouncing baby boy arrived at his place
on Thursday OF last week to take up a
permanent residence. Mother and
child are progressing nicely but we
boubt if Willie will get back to solid
earth again for several days.
Mr.. Farthing and Mrs. johnson,
nephew and niece of Joseph Howell, ar
rived in the city Tuesday from Hoquiam,
Wash, and will remain here for some
time and perhaps later decide to locate
here permanently. They were formerly
residents of North Carolina and express
themselves as well pleased with what
they have seen of this section.

A nice rain visited the prairie Sunday
afternoon, which was followed up Mon
day morning with heavier rain ac-
companied by hail and Monday night
regular old ''soaker" of rain struck us.
1t continued for several hours and wet
the ground up in fine shape, thoroughly
dispelling any lingering fears that the
crops might suffer this year from lack Of
rainfall.
The funeral of G. W. Brockman, who
died Saturday at Charleston from dropsy,
was held mere Wednesday afternoon

and relations attended the last rites.
The deceased formerly resided on the
prairie and owned a fine farm near
Denver.

Herman and Will Hussmann and
Paul Burgund were in the city Saturday
from Keuterville at which time the
former gentleman purchased 40 acres OF
timber land near Keuterville from II.
