eastern traffic managers arrived .« and
Missoula tonight, and left for the f
Bitter Root valley to make a j
thorough inspectiou of that section.
The visit of President Elliot is

significant at this time owing to £
the fact that there have been per- mine

In regard to the Orangeville ex- bin8
tension from Culdesac, work is be

although the weather of the past ^
week has greatly interfe red with tent
outdoor work. It has been an- and
nounced that grading camps would the
be established along the line in tbe
order to have all grading completed Mr
by the time the heavy jock work
was finished to the top o the hill.
A large consignment of scrapers |n
and carts have arrived at Culdesac
during the past week ready to be wbi
moved to the camps, as well as 40
aborers which came direct from are
the east. On the electric line trip
grading is being prosecuted at tbe
Lewiston end and Chief Engineer
Wood has two crews of men at
work, one near Westlake and the
other surveying for the big power
site on Salmon river.
Work in every direction is com
ing along as well as çonld be ex
pected apd tbe effect is already
being felt here by the increased
number of inquiries for land and

ber of prospective investors are now
in this vicinity and a large immi

The Grangeville Brewing com
pany is now ready to supply the
market with a superior grade of
bottled beer and those who bave
been using their draught beer know
that it will be first class. After
being in business less than a year
their draught beer has become so
popular that hardly a bar in the
county will do without it, and
they are determined to place tbe
bottled product in the same rank.
Their bottling establishment is the
latest improved and every precau
tion has been taken to produce a
beverage desirable for both bar and
family use. The first brew was
placed on the market this week
and hereafter orders for bottled
beer will be promptly filled.

SCHOOL GROUND SOLD.
Casady and Nugent Pay $5000
for lOO Feet on Corner.
The school board on Monday
uare in the north
sold 100 feet
east corner of the school grounds
to W. H. Casady and C. H. Nugent
for S5000 cash. It is just across
the street from Walter Hickerson's
hardware store and is considered
one of the best business locations
in the town.
The sale of this property has
been under consideration for eome
time and tbe balance of the block
will now be dispoeed of and a new
site purchased for school purposes.
With the growth of the town the
present site has become too valu
able as business property to be kept
for a play ground, besidee tbe busi
ness portion of a town is not con
sidered a good location for a public
school.
Tbe board is now considering
the advisability of buying two sites,
one in the eastern and one in the
western portion of tbe town,

pupils and at tbe rate the town.is

now it is
realized to not only buy
grounds but also build another
school building when necessary.
While there may be some criticism
on the action of the board in selling,
the plan is generally approved and
may save tbe district from issuing
more bonds to provide more room.
