Dr. C. T. Jones commenced Wednesday the remodeling of his building on the west side
of Main street. [He will make it into a] first-class lodging house.

H. J. Hanson drove two beeves to town this week. The animals were in fine condition
and the beef is good. This is the first fresh meat to arrive this spring.

G. P. Pugh and son Robert have gone to work at the 20th Century temporarily – until
the snow in the mountains will admit of their doing the assessment work on their
various claims.

Tom Neighbors received a letter from S. P. Burr recently that he left Boise for his
home in Moscow on the 18th ult. Mr. Burr expects to return to Roosevelt by the 15th
inst. via Grangeville and Warren.

Esq., of this town is a graduate of Tufts, class of ’87 and entertained a deep
feeling of friendship for Dr. Capen.

books have arrived and school will begin April 24th. Mrs. Arnold will arrive a few
days prior to that time.

Wm. Kreps Monday. He was somewhat better and we hope he will fully regain his former
health. Joe Surprise went with him.

The water in Monumental creek was muddy as it flowed through town Thursday. We find
it was caused by the creek having been turned through the 20th Century flume two
miles and a half above town. The pentstock and flume are in fine condition and the
mill was started Thursday morning.

City and Philadelphia capitalists, arrived last Friday. Extensive development work
will be done on their property, situated on Divide creek, between Divide and Cooney

three weeks with necessary equipment.
