HE SHOWS SOME SPIRIT
Commendable Work By One
Citizen Should Be Duplica-
ted by Town Officials and
Others in Bettering Present
Deplorable Conditions.

Now it's fact that there are
much needed improvements to
be made in Eagle River, and they
cannot besidetracked any longer
County capital pride and local
town pride seem to be OF minus
quantity and doesn'tit seem that
grass-grown curbs and mud
holed business streets in a thriv-
ing little north Wisconsin CITY
belong to a past age and not to
one OF present progression?
The Improvement made by re-
moving the grass from the front
streets, done by a private indi-
vldual this week, is something
that could well be provided for
by the town board at several
other places about town. It's an
improvement adding wonderfully
to the appearance of the streets
and one requiring but little out
lay of money. Nothing impress
es a visitor so strongly as the
appearance, good or bad, of a
small town. There is no reason
why Eagle River shouldn't be an
attractive little town and there
is every reason why it should.
The Woman's Club and the Com
mercial Club are nicely organic
ed for just such a purpose and
there ought to be enough civic
pride in everybody to make a
good showing now.
But the main deplorable CON
dition is the two main business
streets.

Stop Taking Boats.

Boat owners have been much
annoyed lately by certain young
fellows who have taken boats
from the dock. The rides were
probably taken in a spirit of fun
but they caused much inconveni-
ence to the owners and formed a
trespass that can be vigorously
prosecuted. Should the nuisance
occur again prosecution will sure
ly follow.

Here's the prize story-and it
true, even though father-in-law
Lacau gives it the once over.
Thursday E. c. Edenton, guided
by H. B. Mcintyre went musky
fishing. A 4-pounder, which
struck, was thrown back. The
next, 25-pound fish was GATED
after a good play by Edenton.
Later onin the day another mus
ky was hooked and shot with a
small 20 revolver. This fish
was lifted lifeless into the boat
and Mcintyre and Edenton start
ed for home. Apparently fifteen
minutes had elapsed when the
fish, stunned only by the %,
Topped clear of the boat back to
its elements. But it did not en-
tirely disappear, for couple
minutes later it was observed
swimming on hesurface in a cir
Gle. In the excitement, Mcintyre
lost an oar. broke a gait hook
his venerable pa-in-law swears
he had the past thirty years
and landed the fish with his bare
hands, they bearing mute evi-
dence of the final struggle. This
tale almost beats the "musky on
the dock" tale-Ed.

Much Concrete Being Laid

Work commenced in earnest
Monday on the laying of concrete
sidewalk on the south side of
Main street and we understand
the Cottonwood Hardware COM
pany will have the walk contin-
ued in front of the corner prop
erty they purchased this week.
Other property owners on that
side of the street are also seri-
ously considering the laying of
this kind of walk in front of
their places of business and it is
possible the walk may be put in
the full length of the block. Let
the good work go on. 1t is mon
ey well spent and will add to the
value of the property double the
cost of the investment.

Auto Goes Over Embankment

An automible accident which
nearly proved fatal to the lives
of four persons, happened near
the ranch of Chas. Doumecq,
Sunday. At a narrow point in
the road, and in making a sharp
turn the chauffeur, J. C.. Rigby
an insurance man of Spokane,
lost control of his machine. For
some reason the steering gear re-
fused to work, the car ran over
the embankment carrying the
occupants with it. The machine
dropped about fifteen feet, turned
over and rolled into the river. 1t
was fished out Monday by Wallace
Hill and is now in his shop for
repairs. Mr.. Rigby and the
three ladies accompanying him re-
turned to Spokane. None of the
party was seriously injured. -

New Hill Road Completed

The new road over Cottonwood
hill between this place and West
lake was thrown open to the pub
lie the first of the week and is
said to be a very good thorough
fare. Among the first convey
ances to pass over the new road
was an auto and it came through
in fine shape. Cottonwood busi-
ness men donated over 5000 to
get the road changed at that
point and the new road does away
for all time with the former diff
cult piece of road over the old
Cottonwood hill which had been
used and worked from time i'm
memorial and was always a bad
road at its best. D. B. Denham,
road overseer for the Westlake
district, had the supervision Of
laying out and grading the new
road and much credit is due him
for the thorough manner in
which he handled the work.

VIII Erect Concrete Building

H. H. Nuxoll let a contract
this week for the hauling of
sand and cruising rock for a con-
crete building which he intends
erecting this summer on his
corner lot opposite the Chronicle
office and will have work started
as soon as possible, as he hopes
to have it completed by the first
of September. The building will
be "a feet deep and will extend
about AZ feet along King street.
1t will have a ten foot ceiling
and a full basement and will be
divided into two rooms. for both
of which Mr.. Nuxoll states he
has renters in sigh. Mr.. Nuxoll
reached his decision to build
after leaving his corner lie idle
for several years, he finally de-
Gliding that it would De better to
erect a building there and receive
some returns from the property
in rent than to have it lie idle in
definitely.
This will be the first concrete
building to be erected in Cotton
wood and it will probably pave
the way for several others of its
kind, especially if the cost is not
prohibitive. AS sand and rock
is easy to be had it would seem
that concrete should become one
of the principal materials of con-
struction here in time to come.

HARDWARE CO.
BUYS BLOCK
Local Firm Secures Valuable
Main Street Property and
will Occupy Same Early
Next Year.

A deal of no small Importance
to our city was closed here Tues
day when the Cottonwood Hard
ware & Implement company pur-
chased from Samuel Goldstone
the latter's business block at the
corner of Main and. Broadway
and the vacant lot at the corner
of Broadway and First, just
south of the first-named proper
ty. The consideration of the
deal was not made public but is
believed to have run we'll up to
five figures. The Main street
property consists Of a two story
building, the lower floor of which
is occupied by Barth's jewelry
store, the post Office, Gaul's con-
fectionery and the Turner drug
store. 1t is one of the most de-
sirable business locations in the
city and well worth the price
paid for it. After the first of
the year it is the intention of the
new owners to occupy the two
west rooms of the building with
their stock of hardware and they
will perhaps later erect ware
house on the lot in the rear.
In speaking of the deal Mr..
Mckinney stated they had been
considering the purchase of the
property for some time and now
that the deal has been consum-
mated their firm will become a
permanent fixture in Cotton
wood. He said they know of no
better country than the central
Idaho section and Camas prairie
in particular, are we'll pleased
with the people generally and
hope to continue their past pleas
ant relations with the local public
for many years to come.
