The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1909-05-06

Miss Orene Mcmahon visited Sho
shone over Sunday.
w. C. Howard, who has had charge
of the concrete work on the South
Gooding tract of the Idaho Irriga-
ton Company, was in Richfeld Sat
urday and Sunday. He has been op-
Grating concrete mixer of his own
design, which has proven it's ability
to put in place an enormous quantity
of good oncrete-enough to make
it something of revelation to the
ordinary concrete man. He may ar
range for one of the machines to be
used here in Richfield, If there is
enough demand for concrete side
walks and buildings.
Sunday was one of the finest days
of the season, beguiling the fisher
men out from every nook where they
had been hiding. But the willy trout
were not likewise minded, Tor a.
though the river is known to be teem-
ing with them, no fish were caught.
Several new tent houses have
been set up in town, within the last
few days, to provide additional &C
commodatons for the many new
corners to Richfield.
Carpenter work has begun on the
Short Line depot at this place, the
saw-and-hammer gang having come
to town the last Of the week, ready
for business. The depot Is to be
24x57 feet, and will have two stories
the upper one for the agents family.
1t is none too large for depot, for
the business of the past few months
has been apparently large enough to
warrant structure twice as large
But the Shor Line will find it easy
to increase the size at any time 1t
may become necessary, and the new
depot is so great an improvement
over the old box car and outdoors
depot that the patrons are jubilant
over the change.
Architect G. w. Wayland, of Boise
of the firm of Wayland & Fennell, |
who designed the RichfeId hotel,
was in town Saturday, to inspect the
building. He is highly pleased with
the way the work is being carried on
the finish of the building being es-
pecial1y good, and up to his highest
hod nj
to go on to look after some other
buildings his firm has designed, In
the southeastern part 70 the state,
but finally decided to return to
Boise to spend Sunday.
A base ball game was scheduled
between Richfield and Shoshone, for
last Sunday, but some of the local
boys could not get away to make the
trip, 80 it was called of for the pres
ent. But the boys say they will
go dow Mater and make up for any
thing that they failed to do this time.
Manager Dickinson Is going to make
the Richfield base ball team famous
this year and he is already planning {
where he will store the scalps Of his
victims.
G.. N. Wood, recently from Tye
River, Virginia, arrived in Richneld
this week, to accept position with
the city water works department.
This is his first visit to this part of I
the country.
A concrete walk is to be put in at
once, along both street sides of the
bank building, and on past the Ward :
building on Lincoln street. 1t Is a
fine start for one Of the much need
ed improvements of the town. 1t ].
is expected that the village board :
will pass a sidewalk ordinance, re-
curing concrete walks within GER
tan necessary districts. AS the town o
was during the wet weather last O
winter, it would be worth almost any s
price to have a good dry walk to the p
railroad, and a concrete walk on C
Main street, down to the depot, is al e
most a necessity. With the new de- C
Dot so much nearer than the old one h
and the certainty that it will be per- p
nanent, it should be the easiest a
hing to get a good walk from the I
