Martin, who has lived in Idaho county
most Of his life, has many friends over

this opportunity to support him. Mr..
Martin was employed for number of
years at Cottonwood by the firm Of
Brown & Burst as bookkeeper, and later
served as cashier of bank in the state
of Washington. He is most competent
man and well fitted for the office to
which he aspires. Geographically he is
also well situated, as that section of the
county rolls up big democratic majori-
ties at every election, and is entitled to
recognition. So far as we can learn
Mr.. Martin will have no opposition in
the primary, and it should be thus.

Crea and Pfeufer Building Now Under
Way. Bids Jailed For by Judge
Wallace N. Scales on Brick
of Two Stories, 5Ox7O
ACTIVE SEASON AHEAD
Indications are That Dozen Brick
Blocks Will be in the Course of
Construction Before the Mid
die of Year is Reached

A building boom has been just about
launched in Grangeville and from the
present indications the burnt district
of today will be covered with modern
bricks by fall. Building to the value
of $4,000 will be in the course of con-
struction in less than three weeks. This
is positive and there. is every reason to
believe that double that sum will not
represent the amount Of bricks that will
be under contract by that time.
Mrs. Crea has force of men at work
on building 25x6O, one story with
basement, and the same will be pushed
to rapid completion. Henry Jess, who
purchased the 25 feet next to the Crea
lot, is having plans drawn for a modern
brick of two stories and basement. This
building will be 25x70 feet and modern
in every respect.
Judge w. N. Scales is calling fol-, bids
on a two story brick which will be
so feet wide and at least 20 feet long
This will be erected on the site OF the
old Arlington hotel.
Joseph Pfeufer is building onto the
brick now occupied by the Lyric Thea
ire and will make that room 25x7O.
Other buildings that are considered
and which at the present time are not
l.
announced because of few minor De
tails to be worked out, include the fol
lowing, Brick 50x70, one story, fittet
up for store rooms; office building 81

Issues a Valuable Map

This office is in receipt of map
of the Central Idaho gold mining DIS
trict, issued by the Elk City Mining
News. that is a mighty valuable piece
of work. The map includes the coun-
try which will be traversed by tne
Pittsburg & Gilmore railroad, now IN
the course of construction, a section
which has produced ten per cent OF the
cold of the United States, and wnicn
today can rightly be called the OH
lion dollar gold country. Il. Mcdregor
who is quite familiar with the coun-
try, prepared the map and its accur-
acy cannot be questioned. Anyone
wishing copy of this map may Sc

Speaks Highly Of higgins Hot Springs

A. f. Parker returned recently
from two weeks trip along the reach
es Of the Upper Salmon river, and Sal
mon Meadows, where he went on real
estate business. On the return trip Mr..
Parken mounted the hurricane deck of
bucking cayuse and hiked to the Rig
gins Hot Springs, ten miles above the
mouth Of the Little Salmon river, where
he stayed several days and derived
much benefit from the mud and hot
water baths.
The Springs are now under the man
agement Of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis How
ard, and are well conducted, so that Wis
itors will feel at home. Mrs. Howard
is one of the daughters of Henry
Rowe, of Denver, all of whom are not
able housekeepers, and guests will re-
ceive every attention. When the Pitts
burg & Gilmore railroad is constructed
down the Salmon river there will be
something doing at those springs, and il
will be developed into one of the great
est sanitariums Of the Pacific slope. The
spring area covers a flat of about five
acres, in which are sulphur springs OF
varied temperatures, ranging from ice
cold to 10S degrees, while the mud
springs run to ia degrees. Such post
mortems as have been held on the
waters show sodium sulphates, potas
sium sulphate, magnesia and iron al
the staple ingredients, with small quan
titles of arsenic, and these constituent,
are said to be identical with the waters
Of the world famous Carlsbad bath
of Europe, where thousands take tn,
waters for the evils that afflict suffer
ing humanity.
The ground around the springs, Al
well as some mighty nice land on th'
north side Of the river, is owned b,

of this county, and who was for sever
eral years city marshal Of growing

joice with us to learn that he is do
ing well, has $50 acres of land surround
ing the springs, good and growing
bunch of livestock, all located in a hap
Ipy valley, far from he maddening crow
and in highly salubrious climate
where winter is unknown. Truly, "con

Gold Mines Co. This company has
had force of ten men at work all
through the winter and when the snow
is off SO that the roads are passable .
much larger force will be kept employ
ed. The leasing company has spent

opment and intends pushing things this
summer. The manager of the company
is Mr.. H. M. Collette, an experienced
man, and lie has great faith in tia
property.
This week half car of chemical,
etc, for the mine arrived in Grange
vile and Mr.. Riebling, the metal en-
gineer for the company who is making
this city his home, is busy supervising
the unloading and preparing for the for
warding of the freight to the Hump
with the first opening Of the roads.
Considerable more in the way or ma
chinery will arrive at later date and
Grangeville will be the receiving point
for all supplies, from where they will be
freighted into the camp.
The activity of the Hump, as well
as the other camps, will mean consid-
erable to this city, for being the seat
of the county government, the term
inal Of the railway and the fact that
so many excellent business houses are
located here and ample hotel accom-
modations, it is the logical point for
all in and out going travel to the mines.

manner, costing the owners In the
neighborhood Of $1,000.
Freight of all kinds can be handled

Body Of Salmon River Trapper Found
by Hunters.
WAS KILLED BY PARTNER
Man Who Did Killing Gave Himself
URWas Self Defense

The remains of 4. G. Rucker, who
was killed by his partner last winter,
and whose body was placed in the Sal
mon river, have been recovered and
given burial.
About two weeks as q party of bear
hunters, composed of Rich DanfOrth
Jim Lougee, and Mitt Haynie were 60
ing up the river, pulling boat, they
discovered the remains of man, with
rope tied around his waist. A hasty
examination was made and it was
discovered that the man had been sho,
through the left arm, the bullet enter
ing his left side and lodging in the
body. The remains were in a gOod
state of preservation with the except
ion of the face.
1t was at once recalled that last
winter Samuel M. Pruitt went to
Grangeville and gave himself up t.
the authorities, and told of shoot
ing his partner, and placing his body
in the river. Pruitt claimed to hav,
tied a rope to the body and anchore'
it to rock. He also told that h
shot Rucker through the left arm AM
body.
At that time, while Pruitt was still
held in Jail, the sheriff sent party t
make an investigation and see if tn
body could be recovered. The part
that went to the scene Of the troubl
could find no trace of the body, an
there was no sign of any conflict, an
ON this report Pruitt was turned looa
and his story of self defense was col
sidered true.
The place where the body was foun
Lis about fifty miles down the riv'
from where it was put in and it
, supposed that the rock to which Il
! body was tied was not large enough
