Mrs r NJ .Gwinn nresident


will be a meeting at the Methodist
parsonage next Tuesday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock. Important business
to be considered.
This cold weather will very
likely settle what the cattle and
sheep men have been unable to set
tie for the past ten years. If it
keeps up two weeks longer there
will be no more quarreling between
them-for a time at least.
The central committees of both
the democratic and republican
parties. of Ada county have issued
calls to meet at Boise the 25th
presumably to work against seq
gregation, but in reality to "view
the landscape DER" in the coming
campaign.
A million dollars in gold
weighs exactly 1886 pounds, avoir-
dupois. This is more than out
Strong box" will hold without
stretching. However we will try
to crowd in the small fraction nee
essary to secure you Ada county's
best paper for 50 weeks.
LUCKY Dan" won the buggy
at the rattle the other night. Yes,
luck is the proper word. When AZ
points will win in 80 chances, it is
nothing more than pure, unalloyed,
luck, all Browns remarks about
science to the contrary notwith-
standing. Lucky Col. Dan!
The worldwide reputation of
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to its
healthy action on the hair and
scalp. This incompatible prepare
ton restores the original color to
gray and faded hair, and imparts
the gloss and freshness somuch de-
sired by all classes of people.
"A. M. Shreckongost, who is
overseeing the focks of Fred Hotter
on Poison Creek, was in town this
week. "Shreck" does not exactly
bring glad tidings, but the outlook
could be worse in his opinion. Of
course lots of stock must perish,
but lots will live through to tell
of the hard winter of 'SS. He es-
Inmates that the loss in sheep will
about equal last seasons increase.
MIR. and Mrs. A. E. Galloway
desire to express their thanks for
the kindness shown them by neigh
bors and friends during their Attic
ton. Mt. and Mrs. Galloway have
indeed been sorcly tried. In the
past three weeks. they have had
eight cases of measles at their
home. Ole little cherub has been
called away and a son even now
hangs between life and death.
The Idaho & Oregon Land

j. F. Lackey, manager of the
Oregon Horse and Land Company,
was in town Thursday. Mr..
Lackey has been sick for some
weeks, but is now able to navigate
again. He says as yet stock has
not suffered much loss, but adds
that the time for it to die has not
yet arrived. He predicts an inn
mense loss before the winter is over,
especially cattle, and says that this
winter will forever settle the ques-
ton of wintering stock on the range.
The time to accomplish that sue
cessfully has past. He says that
these losses will come hard on the
new county of Malheur-of which
he is one of the commissioners
that being wholly a stock county.
john Mcmahon, the jolly sheep
man from Sucker Creek, had
thrilling experience last week. I'M
til quite recently the Snake river
has not been crossable, and Johnnie
has been on this side. OF course
he wanted to get across to see after
his sheep during this cold weather,
but the impossible Snake was a
barrier of no small consequence be-
tween him and the land of promise.
The other morning, however, John
ME resolved ''to do or die" and
started out with blood in his eye.
The banks of the Snake were reach
ed without mishap, and while he
trying to decide whether he had bet
ter swim or give it up, a happy
thought struck him. He would 90
