ELECTION NoTIcE.-The notice pub
lished elsewhere of an election of the
qualified electors of this school district,
to ascertain whether they are in favor of
a special school tax to raise a sufficient
fund to construct school-house ade-
quate to the necessities of the district,
will be read with qualification by all
frIanHS nf Nph har
parents or not. We are much mistaken
in the public sentiment of Phoebe if the
vote will not prove overwhelmingly in
favor of the tax. 1t is thought the new
edifce can re ready for occupancy by the
first of next July.
The MUDDY IRRIGATING DrTCH.-The
Mormons, in abandoning the Muddy
Valley in the Spring of 1871, left behind
them, among other valuable improve
ments, a large irrigating ditch eighteen
miles long. 1t has became filled with
sand, and the successors of the original
claimants are now cleaning it out, that it
may be used for irrigating the coming
summer. Its construction must have
cost thousands of dollars, but an
outlay of few hundred will put it in
good condition again. The Mormons
| never realized dollar from their labors.
CONDITION OF THE ROADS. -The Ham
ilton stage roads have not been in
worse condition within the last three
months than at the present time. Mud
is said to be almost as deep on Patterson
mountain and in White River Valley as
snow was three weeks ago. The Hamil-
ton stage has arrived behind time the
last three trips.
ST. PATR1CK's DAY BALL.-Capt. Hanly
is having tickets printed for ball on St.
Patrick's Day. 1t will also be the occa-
sion of celebrating the opening of his
| fine new hall, just completed. We have
| no doubt Armory Hall will be crowded
with participants. The various commit
tees will be announced in an advertise
ment in our next.
