What is without question one of the
finest and best equipped plants of the

in Grangeville recently by Messrs. Sny-

ed in the Hickerson building on west
Main street in the room formerly oceu-
pied by the H. & H. grocery. Both
men are experts in manufacture
of harness and saddles, as an inspection
of their goods already made and on dis
play will testify. They intend to make
a speciality of all kinds of saddles and
brides and complete cowboy outfits,
as well as all kinds of heavy and
light harness. They are already well
stocked with orders and in few months
goods with the "Snyder- Miller" trade
mark will have preference over all
Others in central Idaho if present indi-

spend the spring at work there but
last week the McRea pass was swept
by snow slide and he considered it the
"better part of valor'' to make his
home, for the present at least, at his
Gold King property.
The Moore hillside that was swept
last January by the slide that demolish
ed the Ladwick cabin has again sided
but the snowfall being light, there was
little damage done. Men from Edwards
burg went at once to see if Pete Gil

capped, and found him safe and well.
Robert Carey was caught by slide
and carried 200 feet while at work up
Logan gulch. Freeman Nethkin had a
narrow escape but that is daily oc

place to winter. The flat is wide, the
mountains rise gradually on every side
and the cabins are out of the danger

situation, Edwardsburg will ever be the
