CLUB REJUVENATED.
Jerome Believes in Having Only Live
Ones In City.
Monday evening, Jan. 4th, the Je-
rome Commercial club held a very i'm
portant meeting, at which it was de-
clded to organize the club and a COM
mittee was appointed to get list OF all
VINO desired to become members and
1t 1t is expected that within a few
weeks the membership Of this organi-
cation will be at least 100. The matter
OF fire protection and police service
and village Jail were taken up and dis
cussed, the matters laid upon the ia
Bile to be taken up again at the next
meeting. Although this club has been
In existence for some five months and
have done lots of good still the spirit
has not been manifested on account of
so many OF it's members coming and
going. The next meeting will be held
in the office of the North Side Realty
Co., next Monday, and at this meeting
everybody whether members or not,
are invited to attend.
The officers of the Farmers and Mer-
chants State bank are more than
pleased with the way the people have
shown their appreciation of the start
ing of the new bank. On the first day
the deposits totaled over $4,000
and many of the citizens called and
stated that they would open accounts
shortly or just as soon as they could
get their money from the east. Mr.. o.
z. Burkhead is the cashier and in
every way very efficient man for the
position.
Mr.. E. A. Tenant has just erected a
shop at Lincoln and Third AYES. and
announces that he is ready to do all
kinds OF fancy carpenter work and fin
ish work. as well as make frames and
store fronts. Mr.. Tenant is very
good workman, and undoubtedly will
do well while his former partner, Mr.
Bickford, will continue in the construc-
ton work.
The business men of Jerome are
very much. pleased with the rates that
the new railroad are charging as they
are fully so per cent less than they had
anticipated, judging from what the
Oregon Short Line charged ON their
branch to Twin Falls. 1t is also a
pleasure to be able to do business with
such an accommodating gentleman as
7 ho M
renee was lately with the Spokane In
ternational road at Sand Point, Ida.
The Fraser-M Moore Hardware com
pany have opened their store, and 1t
most certainly is credit to the town
and what is furthermore, they intend
to give the public the right kind of SER
vice, and to do this they are erecting a
large warehouse of sheet iron, so that
they may never be out of stock.
Mr.. G. E. Dewitt of Chaffey, New.
and Mrs. Elmira Dewitt, of Glenwood
Springs, Colo, brother and mother OF
Frank w. Dewitt, arrived in Jerome
last week While they only intended tC
make visit they have decided to make
this their home. Mr. c. e. Dewitt has
taken charge of the Pastime Pool hall
for his brother, who is not In very
good health at present.
There was forty-two head of range
horses brought into Jerome Thursday
for the North Side Settlers and Re-
elimination company These horses
will be used in clearing and working
some 10000 acres adjoining Jerome.
The new hotel has now taken on a
very much improved appearance and
it can plainly be seen from what is
now done that it is going to be beau
tiful structure and modern In every
respect. With an American flag on
each one of the domes and huge sage
brush nailed to the peak in front, 1t
shows that the contractors have al
ready got the real Idaho spirit.
The company have force OF men
here installing the telephones and
have put two operators on the ex-
change. So unlike our sister city, Twin
Falls, we expect to get good service
from an Independent company.
Mr.. William O'Donnell, stranger
residing in a tent about half mile
from Jerome, died Jan. of pneumonia.
O'DOnnell was a man about SO years
old and came to Jerome about two
weeks ago. 1t is not known who his
relatives are or. where any of them
may be found. He was attended during
his illness by a couple of gentlemen
acquaintances which he had formed
since he arrived here.
B. u Bickford has, in course of con-
struction, two cottages, one four-room
and one five-roOm. Although the cot
tages are not nearly ready for occu-
pancy, they have already been rented
The electric piano recently installed
In the Pastime pool hall, is a great
improvement and proves to be great
aid to the business OF the hall. There
Is no reason why any home in Jerome
should be without music as the Jerome
Mercantile company is giving a good
machine away with $4,000 worth OF
trade and lots of interest is being TAX
en- In the rattle of the $4,000 machine
The Stroud-Sprague Realty Co. have
recently opened an office In Wendell.
