4 MILES CONCRETE WALK.

4 MILES CONCRETE WALK.
II seems but a short time ago
that this town was still stumbl-
ing along on board sidewalks,
which answer very well for keep
ing one out of the mud, but cer-
tainly play havoc with a good
disposition and shoes. Now we
boast four miles of concrete
walks. most of which have been
laid since the war prices became
effective. Last season Contrac-
tor Harry Mitchell put in $3.50
lineal feet of concrete pavement
here, and the prospect is good
for a considerable extension dur
ing the coming summer.
To communities convenient to
ample supplies of sand and grav-
el these figures sound modest,
but when it is taken into consid-
Grafton that our concrete and
sand must be imported from an
far away as Lewiston, and that
the only ingredient our locality
affords for the pavement is
crushed rock. the Improvement
win he considered worthy of
boasting of.-Nezperce Herald.

day when Mike Seubert became
the owner of 458' acres of land

will hold a'public auction sale
and dispose of his personal
property.
Mr.. Seubert sold his holdings
early last fall to Conrad Bosse
and had decided to leave the
country for a lower climate but
owing to the fact that he was
able to procure this land, which
is to his liking. he decided to re-
main here. ' The land purchas-
ed by Mr.. Seubert is an ideal
stock and grain ranch with plen-
ty of running water and is also
well improved. Mr.. Seubert will
remove with his family to his
new holdings about the last of
