Stock Buyers
Give Big Orders
Merchants From All Over United
States Are Now Purchasing
New York Goods
Metropolitan Financiers Believe
Business Conditions Now On
Upgrade Generally

ing stores returned to Salisbury this
week from business trips to New York
and declared that the feeling of bust
ness men is more optimistic than it
has been for many months.
An indication of better conditions
was the fact that SO many buyers
from all parts Of the country were
in New York, it was stated. These
buyers were really buying good stocks
for rheir stores and rhus were ex-.
pfEsssag II tam Ne way rhsn Des
lief that business is on the upgrade.
1t was pointed out that many of the
stores have bought very closely in the
past year. As a result, the stocks are
low and they are now having to buy
a great deal to get ready for the fall
trade.
One buyer from a Salisbury store
said that he discussed conditions with
a large number of prominent men
while he was in New York. His re-
action to these conversations was that
the country has good reason to feel
chat things are going to be better
soon.
To the man who thinks stocks are
the backbone of the country's bust
ness, there is the fact that the price
of hogs has advanced. Then for those
who place their confidence in the
price of commodities, there is the
fact that these prices are increasing
every day.
He pointed out that the price of
raw silks has advanced 50 per cent
in the past four weeks and that the
cotton market has taken a decided
squirt.
On the whole, it was declared mer-
chants of Salisbury are getting ready
for fall business with a brighter out
look for its success than they have
felt in a long time. The people Of
the city, it was pointed out, have
many reasons for expecting that the
next few months will end much more
satisfactorily from the standpoint of
trade than has been the case in the
past year.

Enjoy AFTERNOON SPENT
IN NORTH OF COUNTY

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. D. Rowe not
ored to Eureka Saturday and spent the
afternoon in that pleasant little capt.
tai of the northern part of Lincoln
county. II was delightful trip. The
drive was most enjoyable. The day was
a perfect spring day, the highway was
in very good condition, and the scenery
along the majestic Kootenai most IN
spring. Again we were impressed with
the conclusion that when the Roose-
welt highway is finally completed-and
that in the not distant future-it will
become one of the most popular IN the
northwest because of its outstanding
beauty, for its mile after mile through
the mountains and along this strangely
beautiful river.
We found the green fields IN the
Rexford- Eureka district most pleasing
in their spring verdure and Eureka
people stated that goodly supply OF
rain made prospects for fine crop this
year very encouraging. The few hours
spent visiting with Eureka people went
rapidly and pleasantly

An Attractive Flower Garden.

Unquestionably one of the prettiesi
flower gardens in Lincoln county is
that of Mrs. O. P. j Mosby at Eureka
The writer had the pleasure of walking
through this garden recently piloted by
Mr.. Mosby and enjoyed every minute
of the time 1t was little early in the
season for many of the flowers to be
in bloom but one could easily see what
a riot of beautiful color the many bios
SONS would display in few weeks.
There were numerous large beds of tu-
lips just coming into bloom, and Ms.
Mosby has some very choice specimens
of this beautiful flower the bulbs of
which were sent to her by friends in
Holland. Various other paintings gave
promise of beauty for the summer The
garden is directly against the Tobac-
co river, all of which makes a most
delightful spot Mr. Mosby stated that
frequently tourists-even from the
flower famed state of California-will
compliment them highly on the beauty
of their flowers.
Mrs. Mosby has large array of
beautiful house plants also, including
some of the handsomest and largest
ferns we have ever seen

been disintegrated through the ages

work now being done proves beyond
question. that there is rich placer gold
here, it is planned to build a much
larger plant eventually, lower down
stream and work up stream in the
mining. There is an abundance of water
available and plenty of dump ground
for the tailings.
Competent engineers who have ex-
amined the property state that there
is an estimated amount of gold in this
ground of from S15,000,0O0 to $4,000
COO said Mr.. Kelly. He added that it
is believed to be one of the richest
placer gold deposits ever found in the
northwest.
Ground has been cleared for and
work will soon start on a log cabin

for the families of Messrs. Mann.
