The above mentioned transactions
and developments are only few of
the most recent occurrences III the
Elk District, and this has been going
on for some time. Other mining
sections contiguous to Grangeville are
showing equal activity. Grangeville
must awaken to her opportunities and
get busy in assisting these mining de-
velopmentS along by every legitimate
means in its power. Self interests
alone would dictate an active, wide
awake, consistent and friendly interes,
in, and relationship with our mining
neighbors. For Grangeville to ever
assume truly city proportions, the
mining, as well as the agricultural and
stock industries must be developed to
its full capacity.

A Worthy Candidate.

Miss Paula Hohaus, has been
nominated by her friends in this COM
munity as candidate in the Spokes-
man-Review popularity contest which
is now on. Miss Paula is one of
the most popular young ladies in
Grangeville, and her many friends
are putting forth united effort for
her success and have confidence in
the result. A musical scholarship,
which is among the other prizes
offered, would no doubt be appreci-
ated by Miss Paula, and the oppor-
tunity would be fully utilized by her.

BY an Eye Witness.

Miles Rice came out from Elk
City the last of the week and brought
the first authentic news of the trouble
which occurred in Elk City recently
First reports said that the combat
occurred in Hye'S saloon and painted
the affair as a serious battle of blood
and bruises between two men, IN
which Rice was said to have lost one
eye and practically all his teeth
and sustained numerous other sever
ely painful injuries. The truth is
that the trouble occurred in Ingram S
place and the scene was possibly as
lively as the initial reports would show,
but the results were not near as ex-
tensive. Mr.. Rice lost six teeth and
his face was badly bruised by his an
tagonist, Pete O'Bren who attacked
him unawareS. Rice was knocked
senseless at the first onslaught,
and O'Brien proceeded to mar
the features of the fallen man
by use Of his heavy miners shoes.
This accomplished, O'Brien left
Rice to the care of his friends who
summoned medical aid for the in
lured man. Mr.. Rice's eyes were
unnjured and aside from a couple of
small scars upon his face and the loss
of the half dozen incisors he is as
robust and strong as ever.
Mr.. Rice reports that the camp is
going ahead steadily and that the
mines and properties are giving good
results. A most profitable spring and
summer for the Elk district is the
anticipation of all who are interested
there. The road from ELK to
Grangeville is in excellent condition
now and there is much travel into
the mines.

Camas Prairie Land in Demand.

The pioneer real estate firm of
Parker s. Melvin report the sale of
the $50 acre tract west of Denver
formerly owned by Lee Wann to
Edwin Nelson. The new purchaser
is native born Camas Prairie boy,
who has travelled far and near in his
search for a better country than
Camas Prairie, but failed to find it,
and has now located himself perman-
emily on one of the best farms in the
Denver neighborhood. The price
paid was SO, 900.
The same firm have also sold the
old John Higgins ranch in Fairview,
of late owned by w K. S. Gregory,
the purchasers being Louis and Albert
Webber. The consideration was
$500 The sale of these lands
signifies the confidence which Camas
Prairie people have in Camas Prairie
soil and in its eventual increase in
valuation. The Webber Brothers
are already the largest land owner.
in the Fairview section, and Alber
Weber will immediatly move or
to the new farm and make his resi-
dence there.

Surprised Them.

The neighbors and friends of Mr..
and Mrs. T. n. Wisdom, north of

them Saturday evening and took
charge of the premises for a hilarious
time, and they had it. Games and
other amusements were introduced
and indulged in with such zest as to
put to the blush the youngsters of the
present generation.

A Change at The Bargain Store.

1t is announced by placards on the
Bargain Store doors that the store
will be closed for a few days, pre-
paratory to material changes that are
now under progress in that business
institution. 1t is understood that
among other changes there is to be
new management at the head and
that a new name will be adopted.
However, this is simply rumor, not
an authorized statement. But what
ever the change, The Globe hopes
it may mean abundant prosperity for
the pioneer owner who has SO long
stood at the head of this business.

1t is said by those who claim to
be posted that Grangeville is the
best, or at least one of the best, towns
in the Pacific Northwest Around
Grangevlle and between there and
Cottonwood lays one of the best
farming communities IN the world.
This is known by outsiders as the
CamaS Prairie region it lays compare

one after another that will not show
one foot of waste land. The farmers
on this prairie grow an abundance OF
grain, but they have been held back
owing to the fact that transportation
has been SO poor Now that they have
railroad running to all the principle
points on the prairie it is claimed that
the Camas Prairie country will equal

Tropical Chimes Hard Hit.

The mercury went down TO 10
degrees below zero at Lewiston on
"Wednesday night of last week, break
ing all former records and setting the
shiverS chasing each other up and
down the tender spinal columns of the
banana raisers like the shocks from a
galvanic battery. Snow fell as deep
there, it is claimed, as in this section,
and as they are less subject to the
visitations of the chinook winds, it
layed on much longer.
AT Whitebrd the thermometer
registered from 8 to II degrees be-
low zero, and the ground was covered
to depth OF IS inches with snow,
all former cold weather records being
smashed to Smithereens. The lnde-
pendent says that according to the
old timers, nothing within the men,
ory of the whiteman has equalled the
recent storm except that of 1884,
when the snow fell to the depth oI
two feet and lay on the ground fol
something like As days. And even or
that occasion the mercury did no
descend as low by several degrees a.
this time. Fortunately the stock mer
were we'll supplied with feed, which
prevented any serious loss of stock

Michael, Sheepherder for Geo.
Poe, Is Found.
DEAD FOR MANY HOURS
Wandered in Storm and Fell
From Precipice.

The body of W. +. Michael, the
Salmon river sheep herder who was
lost in the snow storm last week, was
found Sunday by searching party, in
a gulch completely covered over with
snow, and was discovered by Newt
Otto stepping on the body while
searching the canyon above which a
mtt had been found The skull was
crushed in and one arm was broken.
The unfortunate man had evidently
become lost in the storm, and IN his
wanderings had fallen over the cliff
and met his death on the Jagged
rocks below. The dead man was
newcomer to the Whitebird country
and had been in Mr.. Poe employ but
short time He was a strong robust
man, over six feet tall and about 40
years of age. A telegram was sent
by Bailor s. Mcdonald, undertakerS
at this place, to sister of the man at
Oscaloosa, Iowa, but meeting no re-
sponse the body was inferred at
Whitebird Tuesday with simple
ceremony.

Daily Mail Route Soon to Be
Established.
Sites LINE ABANDONED
Takes Effect With Acceptance
of Mail Contract by r. r.

The following letter addressed to
postmasters at offices affected by
Assistant Superintendent Robert H.
Barclay, of the railway mail service,
is full explanation of the changes
soon to take effect in the mail service
between Grangeville and Elk City,
Harpster, Clearwater, Newsome and
Sites. The idea that Grangeville is
attempting to deprive any one of the
points named of their mail service,
or to anyway work them an injury,
is entirely erroneous. Grangeville is
only working to secure better mail
facilities and lines of communication
for herself with the towns and post
offices mentioned without working
injury to any of them. This move
ment is not animated by spirit of
rivalry, jealousy, or hogishness, and
will result in the greatest good to the
greatest number. This will afford
the Elk City people an opportunity
4 to communicate with the county seat
either by mail or in person, in
day and half, whereas at the pres
\ ent time it requires three days, the
passengers or mail having to lay over
4 all night in Sites, or have livery
y team meet them at the Switchback
u and bring them across country.
N This will give Sites daily mail to
IA and from Grangeville just the same
as at present, and the facilities be-
tween all the other points and the
IN county seat will be materially i'm
proved. When Elk City citizens
desire to go to Sites they have the
same opportunity to do so as at pres
ent, and if that route to outside points
is preferred by them, this change is
nowise affects their right to go by
the way of Sites. 1t is true that the
proposed change will do away with
the existing mail route to Sites and
the expense of maintaining that line
will be applied on the new route but
that does not detrimentally affect
communication between the two
towns. Following is the letter of
Instructions:

Cottonwood Creek Bridge Gone Out.

On Monday the bridge at the
mouth of Cottonwood creek, near
Sites. was carried away by the high
water since which time Grangeville
has been unable to get mail from
Sites. The heavy snow fall, follow
ed by the chinook wind, which
carried it off with a rush, was the
cause of the trouble. This was a COM
paratively new structure.

ELKCITY
MINES HUM
Many Recent Sales of Valuable
Property.
AWAKENING INTEREST
Coming Season Expected to be a
Record Breaker.

According to all surface indications
and the best judgment of mining men
of experience, the Elk City Mining
District is due this coming season for
the greatest development in the min
ing industry ever known within its
history; and the little city of Elk is
coming in for its share of growth and
prosperity. Already great plans are
being made for new blocks and bust
ness houses as soon as the spring
weather will permit work to begin,
and another Sawmill is to be construc-
ted and will operate in fine belt of
timber some two miles from Elk
City, to assist in supplying the needed
building material.
Within the last few months many
valuable mining interests have changed
hands at good figures, outside capital
and new blood have come into the
camp, drawn there by the fine show
ings made and the indications from
outside sources that Elk City will not
be always without the much needed
facilities for transporting her valuable
ores to the markets of the world
/ The past month has seen the sale of
the SnoWStorm group on Red river,
three miles east of Elk City, to B..
Weimer, formerly of Salt Lake, now
of Grangevile, said to be one of the
largest sales ever made in the district,
possibly with the exception of the
Buster bought by +. w. Bradley, OF
San Francisco, some two years ago.
The Snowstorm includes five quartz
claims and 800 acres of placer ground
with a valuable power site, said to be
the only one within radius of seVera
miles of Elk city. The quartz claim:
are gold bearing and have several hun
dred feet of tunneling, exposing fine
body of ore for over 100 feet The
first installment was paid on thl'
property the first of this month, anC
the terms specify that active develop
ment shall begin on the property no
later than March first.
Since the above deal Mr.. Weime
has purchased the Topeka property
comprising six claims adjoining til,
we'll known Hercules and Elkhorl
properties, and but short distance
from the Alberta.
A Chicago capitalist by the nam
of Jennings, has bought of Charlie
Svenson the valuable Gold Seal an,
Baboon placer claims on American
river, just north of Elk City, coverin
an area of 100 acres. The Chicag
Dredging Co. is believed to be benin
this deal, and it is claimed that tn
new company contemplates running
ditch two miles in length from Amer
can river to the claims, thus supplyin
abundance of water to operate tn
mines.
Last week there was bonihed an
absolute transfer of the Alberta grou
: to the Idaho Central Mining Co. {
r Spokane by Harsh Bros, the forme
| owners, the final payment havin
: been made on the property. 1t
! stated on good authority that tn
