Saw Ely’s Flight
While in San Francisco a few weeks
ago, Mr. E. Moss was fortunate enough
to witness Ely's sensational flight, wh n
the aviator landed or tiie deck of the
battleship Pennsylvania, Mr. Moss
says that the sight was an extremely
beautiful one. The aviator appeared
from behind the hills and sped across
tlie bay in tlie direction of the battle
ship. Reaching the Pennsylvania, the
airship encircled it several times and
then swooped down upon the deck with
a movement as graceful as that of a
bird, and was up again and off appare t
ly with the greatest ease. T ie flight
was watched hv thousands of spectators.

SAN FRANCISCO
HAS BIG BOOM
Speaking of conditions on the Out
side at the present time, E. Moss, the
travelling man who is now in this city,
says that old San Francisco is experienc
ing the biggest kind of a boom. Im
mediately it became known that the
city of the Golden Gate had won out in
its fight for the Panama exposition the
wildest kind of excitement and jubil
ation prevailed. Contracts by the hun
dred were immediately closed, real
estate deals involving phenomenal
sums were put through and leases
valued at millions of dollars were let.
Although four years must elapse before
the exposition can be thrown open to
the public, preparations for the great
event are already under way, and it is
confidently expected that the Panama
celebration will easily lead anything
previously attempted in that line. So
enthusiastic are the people of California
that they have already raised $23,000,
000 toward the expenses of the expo
sition, the greater portion of which has
come from the citizens of San Fran
cisco.

TUT CITY NOTES
I,on IJoggett's two-story house, known
as the "Call building,” because it is not
modeled nfter that famous sky-scraper
in San Francisco, is reported to have 1
stood the recent little breeze with con
siderable spirit, and, although it is a
little out of plumb, will probably last
until the breakup.
The bathhouse being erected by Lewis
& Earle is nearly completed and will
shortly open for business.
The Arcade restaurant is doing a fine
business. Duffy & Dickinson are the
proprietors, and they have just had the
place painted and a fine sign has been
put up.
Goosey Smith has closed up his res
taurant for the present. He will reopen
when provisions reach their normal fig
ure.
All Flat seems to be wearing new suits
and hats since the fine weather set in.
Flatites say that it is the direct result of
Isaacs advertising in the Pioneer.
Charley Suter’s new building at Flat
is quite a substantial structure, and is
nearly completed. It is a two-story
Duuuing situated ou the waterfront, and
said to be the finest log building so far
erected in this section.
Nels Glantz has purchased part of Bob
Hart’s lot on Gold street, adjoining the
Grand hotel, and will build a new bar
room thereon, which will be occupied
instead of the one now used in the main
building ot the Grand hotel.
Shorty Wiukie has completed his con
tract to move 130 cords of wood on to
Friend & Janies'ground on Flat.
Frank Dawson is moving 300 cords of
wood for the Strandbergs.
Frank Stanley has had all the snow
cleared away from the front of his hotel,
and is generally preparing for the spring.
The Slipperns' sawmill office is now
in the Grand hotel.
Nels Glantz' elaborate St. Patrick’s
decorations were the talk of the town.
It is said Nels cut up all the green blinds
in the hotel to get the proper colo. ef
feet. He was speaking with a rich
brogue before he got through, and re
tired for the night singing "Wearing of
the Green.’ ’
Jamie Wylie, yclept the Optimist, is
still pounding away on the phonograp 1
at Casey’s. He is said to be able to hum
the tune of every record in the place, and
call them by name, too.
Connolly’s was gaily decorated yester
day. Prof. Jack only forgot himself
once, when he was caught singing the
Swedish national anthem. He saved the
situat’ou by issuing a general "call to
the bar.”
Dance at Ansley’s Hall
A pleasant little dance was held at
Ansley’s hall last night to accommodate
those who were unable to spare the time
for a visit to Flat City. The door was
in good shape, the music excellent, and
the hall was not inconveniently crowded.
