Landlord for Imperial.

At a meeting of the stockholders
of the Imperial Hotel Association,
held Tuesday night, a lease was
signed with Mr.. Frank A. Tamblyn
of Spokane leasing the building and
it was also decided to finish up the
third story. From information OBJ
tained it seems the building will be
ready for occupancy in May or
June. The lath, lime and other
material for plastering the building
is now arriving and just as soon as
the weather moderates work will
go forward with a rush. Mr..
Tamblyn, the landlord, is an old
hotel man with years of experience
and comes to our city with the
highest of recommends. For the
past four years he has been con.
nected with the Halliday and Pa
cifio hotels in Spokane. 1t is the
intentions of Landlord Tamblyn to
conduct the hotel on both the
American and European plans and
have rooms at reasonable rate as
we'll as those more elaborately
furnished.

MANY BILLS TO AUDIT,
County Physician and Official
Paper Not Yet Determined.

The county commissioners met
Monday OF this week and after the
conclusion Of some business mat
ters of the old board, the new
members were sworn in and the
board organized by selecting G. M
Butler as chairman. Mr.. Butler
has been on the board for number
of years and is an excellent man
for the place. Mr.. Martin, the re-
firing member, has served his coun.
ty we'll and no doubt is glad to have
the burden Of public Office lifted
from his shoulders. MesseIs. But
Ter and Bentz, who were both re-
elected, are accustomed to the work
and familiar with the same. Her.
man Won Bargen, the new member,
is one Of Idaho county's leading
German-American citizens and a
man who has shown his ability to
take care of his own affairs and If he
applies the same rules to the coun-
ty's business as he has his own
there is no doubt but what the ad-
ministration of Idaho county affairs
will be one OF economy and benefit.
The newly elected county offici-
ais were sworn in as follows:
]. E. Jaques, probate judge.
E. G. Spedden, county surveyor.
j. M. Gilmore, prosecuting at,
torney.
j. E. Byron, sheriff.
Frank Rice, treasurer.
James Wilson, assessor.

Death of Stranger.

John Thompson, man without
friends and whose relation cannot
be located, passed away in this city
Monday morning after an illness OF
several days. Thompson, who is
seventy eight years of age, was
stricken down several days ago
with lung trouble and while medi-
cal aid was summoned and all that
was possible was done for him he
was unable to rally. Thompson
drifted into town several weeks ago
from the mountains and was taken
in local lodging house. Before
his death he stated he had broth
er in Kansas and one in Canada
whom he had not seen for twenty
years and their present address he
did not know. A careful search of
the body was made and in a we'll
worn wallet was found naturaliza-
tion papers taken out in Shasta
county, California, in 1876 and
stated the deceased was a former
citizen of Sweden. Also a certifi.
cate Of registration was among the
effects showing he had registered
and voted in Teton county, Mon
tana in 1898. Several letters from
the sheriff of Nez Perce county and
lock of child's hair made up the
remainder of the contents of the
wallet. The body was taken to
the undertaking establishment Of
Bailer & Mcdonald from which
place the funeral was held Tues
day.

BraWl Saturday Night.

Some half dozen young boys
filled up with the "Oh be joyful"
last Saturday night and got in a
mix up with the cook at the Royal
Cafe. Shoes-tring potatoes, cuss
words, stools and sweet epithets
were exchanged and for a while
things looked bad for the white
dove OF peace. Officers Adams and
Holsclaw gathered them in and
after deliberating over Sunday they
were brought before Police Judge
Jaques Monday and given a big lot
of advice and small fine. Some
very discriminating evidence was
secured against several saloon
keepers in the city, through the
testimony Of the boys and now they
are to have an inning Friday and
tell what they know of the affair.

First r. r. Accident.

Grant Arrowood, the engineer
on the Grangeville-Lewist pas.
senger, was quite seriously injured
in the yards Sunday evening. The
train had just arrived from Lewis
ton and the engineer was uncoupl-
ing the engine from the train when
through the misunderstanding of a
signal the engine backed and
caught the man between the tender
and the train. He was squeezed
pretty hard and for a while it was
thought he might be suffering from
internal injuries. DR.. Campbell
the localsphysician of the company,
gave him attention and Monday
morning ordered him to the hos
pital in Lewiston.

Death of Pioneer.

Sam Dillinger, an old time miner
from the Dixie district, who was
brought out here last fall and ex
amined as to his sanity and ordered
to Orofino for treatment, passed
away at that place late in Decem-
Der. Dillinger was one of the
early pioneer miners of Central
Idaho and wherever there has been
gold there Dillinger was, he fol.

at one time was partner oi

Winter Weather.

Tho past week Grangeville has
been having a touch of winter
weather. We have had forty and
half inches of ow.fall, a great
deal for this country, in fact old
timers state it has been long time
since they have seen that much
snow on the ground. The weather
however has been moderate, only
four days being below zero and the
coldest has been only thirteen be.
low. Indications are that a warm
wind will carry of the "beautiful'

A Solid institution.

At the annual election Of officers
of the Inland Abstract & Invest
ment Company, Limited, held in
this city last Tuesday, dividend
of Is per cent upon the capital
stock was declared, and officers for
the ensuing year were elected as
follows: President, A. F. Parker;
vice-president, w. w. Brown;
secretary and manager, J. A.
Bradbury; treasurer, j. b. White.
The Inland Abstract & Invest
ment company, limited, is strictly
local corporation, and since it's or
ganization in 1905 has built up a
business which not only fills long
felt want, as evidenced by its vol.
ume of business, but may now be
considered as one OF the solid and
substantial financial institutions of
Idaho county, and possessing the
confidence of the community. The
company has spent many thousands
of dollars in it's records of titles,
employing only the most expert
help, and it's plant is of the very
highest modern grade and up-to.
date in every respect. As factor
in strengthening out the titles to
lands in Idaho county it has been
of incalculable service to the COM
mui ity. Mr.. Bradbury, it's secre-
tary and manager, is fully up-to.
date in modern abstracting methods
and his connection with the CON-
pany has been the most important
instrument in promoting the sue
cess OF this growing concern.

Was High-ClaSS.

The entertainment given at the
Armory Thursday and Friday
nights by Prof. Riedelsberger and
Elsa Scharfenberg was of the high
est order and much to the discredit
of Grangeville brought out a small
audience. Perhaps the disagreeable
weather WAS the reason of the slim
attendance, at any rate this would
be the most humane way of form
ing the excuse. The Professor, who
is of German extraction, is a fin
ished artist and his rendition of the
various offerings was far above the
average. Elsa Scharfenberg, the
soprano, has beautiful voice but
her ability as vocalist is not equal
to that of the Professor as violin.

10000 IN SPRING.
Capt. Wooden Says That Many
in Elk BY Spring.
DOZEN PROPERTIES BONDED
Transportation the One Thing
That Holds Camp Back.

Captain J. D. Wooden, who is
interested in the Idlewild and Buck
Horn groups in the Elk City and
Four Mile mining districts, passed
through this city the first Of the
week on HE way to higgins Hot
Springs where he hopes to receive
benefit to his health which has not
been the best of late.
In speaking of the camp the Cap
tain said: While there are close
on to q dozen of most excellent
properties under bond and some
work is being done things are not
just AS lively at the present as one
might expect to find them. This
is due to the lack of supplies, the
companies failing to get in the
amount necessary to run full blast.
On account of this shortage don t
expect to see the camp become live
ly and good and active before
March or April at which time we
can again forward supplies and the
roads will be in better shape.
have been in a great many
camps and examined many proper
ties in my life and believe l know
something of mines and camps, l
want to say to you that according
to my opinion Elk City is today the
best mining camp in America.
Some say there will be close on to
l5, 900 people in the camp the com.
ing summer but at the most con-
servative estimate l would say you
will find 10, 900 men there the COM
ing summer and of these 500 will
be prospectors.
have never been in camp
where there were so many meritor-
ious properties and the beauty OF it
is that the value increases as you
90 down. l have known of but two
veins pinching out and one OF these
was only eighteen inches and no
doubt it could have been picked up
again if they had gone down far
ther.
There is one thing and only one
that is holding the camp back, that
is transportation and please under
stand right now we are going to
make big effort to overcome this
the coming season. An electric
line from Grangeville in would
solve the problem and if such a
thing can be secured Grangeville
will reap a rich harvest. But if
we can't secure this road we will
make an effort to get the Northern
Pacific to build up from Sites. We
have the tonnage and the camp
will prove to any one there is
mooey in such a road.
The Bradley Syndicate which
purchased the Buster last year has
kept the stamp mill busy pounding
every since it was installed except
ing three hours, a stop made in or
der to make repairs. This is as fine
a big company as ever located in a
camp. They do inst what they
agree to and treat everybody fair.
There is thirty.six inches oi
snow in Elk now, more than we
have had for eight years. The
business men are all enjoying a
good trade and we are all happy.
Many Of the old prospectors have
returned and are satisfied Elk il
the camp. But we must have
transportation.
