Lamb, 92 years of age and now
a resident of California, is in the
city renewing old acquaintance.
Mr.. Lamb settled at Mt. Idaho
in Idaho county in 1877 and con
tinued his residence there until
1902 when he removed to Cal
ifornia to make his home. He ha
just completed visit at
Grangeville and Mt. Idaho and is
now en- route to his home.
In appearance Mr.. Lamb is
about IS years Of age and the
early history of Idaho is as clear
in his mind as the happenings OF
yesterday. He expresses great
faith in the future Of the entire
central Idaho country and states
the development of the farms has
but just commenced.

SPECIMENS.

G. E. Arney, representing the
Northern Pacific company, was
in the city. this week and met
with the Commercial club at
their Wednesday luncheon at the
Imperial hotel, where he deliver
ed an address. Mr.. Arney en-
thused those present with the
idea that first class cereal and
fruit display from Camas Prairie,
to be used at the various exposi-
tions throughout the east would
be an excellent stunt for us.
There will probably be two sep
arate and distinct displays got
ten up from here, one for the
Northern Pacific and the other
for the Northwestern Products
exposition, and a committee com
posed of l.. NJ. Harris, A. +. Par
ker, Frank VanDeventer, John

appointed to attend to the mat
ter. Mr.. Harris has already been
at work on display products and
now has a splendid showing.

MUST CONNECT UP.

The state sanitary inspector at
his recent visit to this city served
notice on the city council that
they must see that all sewer con-
nection be made and outbuildings
removed without further delay,
and that they will be held re-
sponsible for seeing that this or
der is obeyed in the interest of
the health of the community. The
CITY is loath to work hardship
on any citizen, but further dis
regarding of this order will un-
doubtedly result in extra costs
being paid by all those willfully
or neglectfully violating. the
same. Take timely warning.

BUSY LOOKING TOWN.

There have been lots of peo-
pie on the streets of Grangeville
recently, outside people and
others from the surrounding coun
try, and that taken with the
building and large forces of
workmen on Main street, make
things look about right, and dis
pells all thought and talk of
close times.
The concrete foundations are
completed for the Wilkins, and
McClain buildings on the south
side, and for the Parker, Won
Berg, Jess and Batty buildings
ON the north side. The brick
work on the Crea structure is
just completing and the upper
joists are now in, while the brick
work on the w. N. Scales dou-
BILE structure on the south conner
is growing like Jonah s goard
under the magic hand of the
skilled workmen. The white brick
fronts are going to make fine ap-
pearance. The brick work will
begin in a few days on the Par
ker building. All this building
looks good and makes everybody
feel like getting in and boosting
things generally. Grangeville is
going to be a better town than
ever by the fire, if it did leave
its deep marks on some.

DR.. w. II. Warner, OF Walla
Walla, arrived in the city the first
of the week with a view to locat-
ing here in the practice of medi
cine, and is now taking an inven-
tory of the DR.. Campbell office,
instruments and furnishings with
the purpose Of purchasing the
same. DR.. Warner is AN exper-
fenced surgeon, having practiced
surgery in the Walla Walla hos
pital for the past five years.
G. w. Robbins returned Tues
day evening from his home in
Cass county, Michigan, and will
be here for a time assisting his
son Lisle in looking after their
interests ON their large ranch
southwest of town. Mr.. Robbins
says the wheat crop in southern
Michigan is practically a failure
this season, that he got a yield
of less than ten bushels to the
acre from 500 land on his farm.
The oats crop, however, he says
is better. Mr.. Robbins made the
run of 1900 miles to Grangeville
in three days and three nights,
the swiftest trip he ever made.
Seth Zehner, recently arrived
here from Duncanville, H., and
is visiting with his sons, Neil,
living north of town; Carl of
Denver and Ross over on Dou-
mecq, and nephew, Ben Zehner
west of town. Mr.. Zehner, who
visited here last year is greatly
pleased with this country. He
says great deal of the wheat
in his section of Illinois was plow
ed up this season and planted
to corn, and that the latter was
almost drowned out. When a
county heads off state like Hi
nois in the estimation of a native
son like Mr.. Zehner, it will do to
tie to.
W. A. Shatzer, was up from
White Bird the first of the week
after new wagon with which to
haul off his immense hay crop.
Mr.. Shatzer has sold fifty tons
of grain hay to the Freeman &
Brown stage company and fifty
tons to the Smith livery stable,
reserving fifty tons for his own
use. Mr.. Shatzer, who has a
reputation for readily backing
his judgment, had no sooner pull
ed up his mule team at the livery
barn than he had a $40 wager up
with Montana Mitchell, of Sites,
who insisted that he knew more
about the weight of a pink-eyed,
cream-colored mule which Mr..
Shatzer was driving, than the
owner. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that he didn t.
