ITEMS OF THE WEEK FROM THE
SALMON RIVER SUN
Salmon River Stores Company Take
Possession of Lucille
Store

The Salmon River Stores Company,
the latter part of last week, took over
the store owned by Harry Southland,
at Lucille. Stock was taken Saturday
and the company took immediate pos
session. Will McGaffee, though on
crutches as result Of the recent oper-
alton on his knee went up to Lucille
and took charge of the store temper
arily.
The Lucille store has not been receiv-
ing all of the trade in its territory
and the company plans to increase the
stock to such an extent that they can
handle all of this business. 1t is also
figured that much of the business from
The upper river and the Little Salmon
that now goes to Meadows will be d.
verified this way.
Edward Smith has had rock and dirt
hauled into the street in front of his
livery barn this week and has been
putting in his spare time grading up
that part of the street. A little more
such enterprise wouldn't come far
amiss during the muddy season.
The Odd Fellows decided that they
had located the flue in their new hall
in the wrong part Of the building and
this week had O. II. Evans tear it
down and build it on the south wall.
1t was originally built in the center
of the hail. The contractors have the
hall practically completed and are now
awaiting the arrival of the glass for
the front.
N. L. Broughman, proprietor of the
Whitebird Hotel, has proven himself
to be the champion hog raiser Of the
county SO far as proportionate net re-
suits are concerned. Less than q wear
ago he paid $40 for brood SOW. Eight
months ago she farrowed six pigs and
two months ago she brought five more
into the world. Mr.. Broughman has
NOT fed these hogs anything but leone.
backso from the hotel and is not out
anything for feed The first of this
week he sold the six pigs OF the first
litter to E. j. Nichols of the CITY Meat
Market, receiving eight cents, or $97. %.
The weight of the six was 1915 pounds.
This is quite net gain for a $40 in
vestment when it is considered that
he still has the SOW and five two
months old pigs. This story is SO good
that 1t sounds fishy, but Mr.. Brough-
man stands ready to prove any part
of it to any of the skeptically inclined.
Mr.. Broughman has experienced n
great deal OF trouble the past summer
IN securing vegetables for the hotel
and TINS week he rented three acres of
bottom land from G. j. Wright and
next spring will plant it to garden.
