BUILDING GOOD WAGON.
JackSon'S Shop at Work on
Heavy Logging Truck.

Things are humming down at j..
+. Jackson's machine shop nova
days and much work is being
turned out. At the present time
they are constructing heavy log
ging wagon for the firm of Wilkin-
son & Bledsoe that when COM
pleted will represent the best there
is to be had in that line. 1t is
built low down, the wheels being
fOrty-twO inches in diameter and
having a four-inch tire. 1t is built
for service and is guaranteed to
carry as large a load as can be piled
upon it. Every part is being manu-
featured here and while the above
firm is getting wagon without an
equal, at the same time they are
patronizing home industry. A
word in regard to the equipment Of
the shop might not be amiss but
suffice to say that anything in iron
or wood can be repaired or made

Mesdames Sam Hamill, of Sun
nyside, George Hanson, OF Fair
view, and J. B. Hamill, OF Green
Creek, were in Grangeville shop
ping the first of the week. We
acknowledge pleasant call.
w. r. wilkins, who ranches on
the reservation, was Grangeville
visitor the last of the week and
favored this Office by calling. He
reports the ground little too wet
for blowing, and while some of his
neighbors are busy turning the
burrows, he believes that better
crops result in blowing at q later
period when the soil has been bet
ter drained.
Jack Turner has completed for
Idaho county double office desk
that he may well feel proud of.
1t is of the same pattern as the one
he constructed for Geo. M. Reed
last year and will be placed in the
auditors office to be used for the
large books. A stairway to be
placed in the home of DR.. Stock
ton being turned out at the same
shop shows we'll the ability OF Mr..
Turner and his workmen in their
line.
Peter Francisco, who conducts
the hotel at Freedom, was in this
city the first of the week and re-
ports things looking fine on the
Salmon. He says grass is up five
and six inches and some punches
of grass cattle are fat enough al
ready to 60 on the market. The
ranchers have the crops in and
farm work in general is a great
deal further advanced than it is on
the prairie. The frost of the past
week has not materially injured
the fruit and large crop can be
looked for.
Rev. l.. M. Boozer of Portland
Oregon, has accepted the call ex.
tended by the Presbyterians OF
this city and will act as their pas
tor beginning with the coming Sun
day. The Reverend gentleman
comes from one of the leading
charges of Portland, is president
of the Christian Union of Oregon
and also a trustee of the national
organization. Services will be held
both morning and evening the
coming Sunday and young
peoples meeting in the afternoon.

accident resulted in serious injuries to
half dozen men, while a score of
others received sundry minor hurts.
An electric car packed with workmen
returning from shops halted at the bot

slowly descended the incline, the
motorman expecting the car in front to
proceed Immediately, but there was
some delay. In the middle of the hill
the trailing car refused to respond to
the brakes and descended from the
grade with increasing speed. Before
the motorman in front could be warn
ed the rear car crashed into the car
ahead with terrific force. Dozens of
people were flung from the platforms
into the street, but fortunately none

which was introduced by Mr.. Dick

identical with the measure introduced

which it is now granted to men.
