ment Company have concluded to

THE COUNTY DADS.
They Appoint Mr.. Morrill, Purchasing
Agent-A Proposed New Bridge.


The County Commissioners now in
session have sufficient business to oc.
cupy their time during at least two
days more. They are engaged at aud
iting bills and providing for the ne
cessities Of the county until they
again assemble in April. J. X. Nor
rill has been authorized to act for the
board in the purchase of everything
required for the county, including all
supplies, fuel, stationery, ETC., and par
ties desiring to furnish any material
or supplies for the use of the county
will find Mr.. Morrill, in Haley always
accessible and ready to negotiate for
what is needed. His experience en-
inently qualities him for the response
bic post Of purchasing agent Of the
county.
Among the most pressing needs
VI TINS StctlOil IS new DllUOc
across Wood River at Grows
gulch. 1t is proposed to have two
pic rs and an abutment on each bank
built for substantial bridge 100
yards below the present bridge, and to
have the work done now, while the river
is low, as it cannot be done to advan-
tage during high water. The founda-
tons can be completed and the
stringers Land now, and when the
spring rise carries away the present
bridge the new structure can be
planked and ready for service. There
must be considerable heavy teaming
to Bullion next spring and summer,
and the present bridge cannot stand.
The now location will afford an easier
grade at less cost than the present
grade can be blasted out. Two hun
dred dollars was appropriated last fall
for a new bridge, and the present
board will no doubt see the expedi-
ency for appropriating what is called
for-s2OO more-to start the work.

A FEW CONUNDRUMS,
Which Will Suit More Readers than
They Will DiSpleaSe.

A correspondent signing himself
"Spokeshane" favors the TINES with
few conundrums, but refuses his
real name because he fears that he
may meet with a similar experience to
that of one of his friends who, two
winters ago, having taken contract
to supply country paper with poe
try, only what was accepted as reada-
BILE to be paid for, found in the spring
that he had been keeping all the edi-
tors neighbors in kindling paper.
Here are his conundrums. If they
don't prove acceptable committee of
two ladies will be appointed to get
them in shape for boxing and ship
ping back to the writer:
Why is Bellevue like calf sucking
cow when the milkmaid is stripping
the two front teats because she
is sucking the hind one.
Why is the town OF Haley like a
gamecock in a poultry yard: Be-
cause she contends for victory.
Why was the town of ketchum last
spring like coquette's beaux? Be-
cause they caught the early immigra-
ton, but they soon let her 60.
Why is the town of Bullion like a
Flathcad Indian pappoose with his
head strapped to board: Because
she has no room to spread.
Why is the town of Gilman like an
army surrounded on the battlefield?
Because she is between two fires
Haley and Bullion.
Why is the Wood River mining
country like a city belle? Because
she is the center of attraction.
Why are the proposed rail and
wagon roads across the mountains
from HALEY to Bullion like an old
Irish song? Because it is a Rocky
Road to Dublin.
Why is shoddy aristocracy like a
little minnow? Because it is a little
ishy.
Why are the two saloonkeepers III
Gilman like storm cloud in mid
summer: Because they furnish
plenty Of lightning.
Why is dandy like a peacock?
Because he likes to show his fine
feathers.
Why are two young lovers like a
bear: Because they love to hug.
Why are despondent men like a
clear sky: Because they are always
blue.
Why is a man with a large bump of
sclf-esteem like bull-frog? Because
he is always croaking.
Why is braggart like one
horse minister delivering his Sabbath
mornings discourse? Because he
never knows when to stop.

THEN AND NOW.
We are jovial set of prospectors.
We search the mountains Ger;
We want TO make our fortune,
BY striking silver ore.
We sometimes get discouraged
Think our friends will us forsake,
But we'll find ourselves mistaken,
II we should make a stake.
For days we journey all alone
Ger sagebrush deserts wide,
Or camp in snow six feet deep
Up on the mountain side.
We sit around the campfire,
And talk about affairs
That happened us in bygone days,
When We could put on airs;
For then it was Mr.. So-snd-so
! am delighted you to meet.
Come, let US us have u social talk.
BY the way-have you sold your fects
Methinks your stock was quoted
At hundred scads or more.
Say. old Eel, Will you have drink
AS things are going SOP"
For then we wore a fancy suit.
With big gold watch aud chain.
And backened boots each morning
So tight they gave us pain
Now, alas our watch has gone,
We have patches our knee;
| We are not the men we used ter was
| In good, old 'G3.
Our stovepipe hat is changed for one
That droops down DER our eyes,
And blackened boots for stogies of the largest six
In fact. we look so shabby
Our friends will not us see.
For we're not now the men we were
| In the days of 49,
| The ladies' then would smile 30 nice
All We woald chance to meet
And say THAT is the boy for me.
He owns so many feet"
But now, alas +! they pass Ms by,
And pretend they do not see
The man who dealt In wildcat stock
In the year of 3d.
But never give it up, my boys,
The Wood River belt is wide
There's many a rich ledge cropping out
Upon the mountain side.
And if we chance to strike II rich,
How happy we shall be!
Our friends will smile much sweeter than
They did In SO.
