is illustrated in the case of T. S.
Morrison who stepped off of. a
train in Blackfoot in mid winter.
1895 with a large family and only
1852 in cash. He leased a hotel
and they put things on the table
that were god to eat. They have
been doing that ever since, and
that is the key to the whole situa-
tion. Now he is conducting a
hotel OF his own, in the center of
town. 1t has 40 nice rooms, gen
orally all occupied, and "There's
a reason" He has a nice resi-.
dence in a good location, and can
"cash in" at any time for $4,000
or $4,000, but he declines such
offers because he would rather
have the property than the money.

W. f. MARTIN, COAL.

In 1897 Mr.. Martin made his
first appearance in Blackfoot and,
liking the looks of the Grove
City, as most people do, he
''pitched his tenr'' and decided to
cast his lot with us. In 1901 he
combined with his dray business
the furnishing of coal to the peo-
pie and soon dropped draying as
the coal proposition was all that
he could attend to. Mr.. Martin
has given good service to the peo-
pie in the trying times of fuel
shortage in the past winters, dong
his best to always discriminate in
favor of those who were the
nearest to the bottom of their
bins. He has done extremely
well thls winter in this regard and
is to be compIimented. He
erected a neat brick office on
South Main street last spring and
is prospecting according to his
good works. Mr.. Martin is a
North Carolinan.
