Spring Has Come,

The pleasant bright days that we
nave been enjoying remind us thai
spring-time is dawning, and soon
the surrounding hills will be again
clothed with the beautiful verdur,
of flowers, and the little tufts o.
bunch grass will be putting in an
appearance. The time is fast APP.
preaching when the herds Of cay,
uses, which have spent their vaca-
ton during the winter months
rustling to sustain life, will BE-
brought in and turned over to the
tender merc.es of tier owners for
another seasons campaign ia the
mountains. The familiar circles
chat have so oft assembled around
the cheerful fires during the long,
dreary winter, recounting past adj
ventures, and laying plans for flu
ture movements, will be disbanded
The prospectors will be getting their
pack saddles, pole-picks, Winches-
ter rifles and outfits in readiness
for little run over to Sheep noun

the Salmon river. These will no
.lCubt be the points of attraction
in the upper country the coming
season. Kctchum is the natural
station for these places.
md when the prospectors begin to
move we may expect an increased
activity in all branches of business.

The Juvenile Blowout.

The minor element Of the COM
munity is edging its way to the
front this season in matters sociai
and artistic in manner quite amaz
ing to the older strata of society,
and they seem quite determined to
assume at the earliest possible day
those privileges of sociability await
ing the rising generation. A class
Of young folks, consisting of both
sexes and ranging in age from four
teen to eighteen, have associated
themselves together and instituted
such organizations as the 'Ketch.
UNI Juvenile Brass Band" "The
School House Club" etc., and from
every appearance to the passer-by
are enjoying themselves, on stated
occasions, in a manner not to be
questioned in the least. The first

given in the old school house last

another one last evening, and boil.

Interesting Journalism.

During the dull times prevailing
throughout the winter in most OF
our western towns, it is of course
difficult for the papers to fill their
columns with current items and
fresh bits Of news for the edifca-
ton of their readers, especially
must this be the case with the
dailies, but one of our exchanges
seems to have got wofully behind
the times. In an inside column of
its issue Of February 25th, it tells
the reading public that:
"Ex Secretary Manning lives a very
quiet life. He IS constantly under n
physicians care. The latter will not
permit him to walk any great distance
or climb single flight of stairs. Mr..
Manning has, therefore, had IN elevator
placed in his new home on Fifth avenue
Now it is a well known fact that
the good ex-secretary Manning
climbed the golden stairs" more
than two months ago, and has no
further need of an elevator. Another
Of our exchanges dated February
23d, had its inside pages so very
badly printed that it was almost
impossible to read any of it, and
absolutely so, to read large por-
ton. One of the decipherable par
agraphs told the public that the
mother of James A. Garfield was
living and WE'LL. at the age of 81
years, while, in fact, she died not
long latter ex-secretary Manning
did. Another paper under date OF
February Oath, says that Mrs.
Cleveland is busy with preparations
for Christmas. Such journalism
impresses the public as undignified.
and burlesque on newspapers. Ii
journals cannot get along without
this long range reading matter.
which is printed away from home
why not cut down the form, even
to half sheets, rather than foist
such impositions upon a discrim-
mating public.

Mail Routes Established.

The following routes for mail
service have been established in

and from Bellevue to Era, so miles
and back, once a week. Contracts
will be announced for mail service
on the above named routes on or
before the 10th of April. 1888. Ser
vice to commence on the LIST day

Sheep Mountain Road.

The time is drawing near when
some concerted action should be
taken il regard to opening fol
travel one of the most important
thoroughfares of the country-a
road to Sheep Mountain and Sea
foam. Not only are our own people
vitality interested iii the speedy con-
struction of such road, but all Of
the towns on Wood River should
realize the benefits to be derived
from establishing an early commu-
nication with these rich mining dis
tricts, and be willing to lend a
helping hand in pushing such an
enterprise to an early completion.
The route down the Salmon river
valley is the natural outlet of this
vast mineral country, and is so easy
and practicable that it will not
necessarily require any large
amount of money to complete the
road the entire distance and put it
in a serviceable condition. Very
little work would be required for u
distance of upwards of eighty miles
to put the road in good order. By
building bridge across Salmon
river, grading little around the
points where some of the hills
slope to the river, and laying some
corduroy across d few swampy
places, the road would be in Il
fit condition to travel to within
eight or ten miles of the above
named mining districts. The bridge
to be erected across the Salmon
river, about twenty miles below
Sawtooth, is the only serious OBJ
stacle in the way of an easy con-
struction, but this bridge is an alb
solute necessity. This exigency
will will no doubt soon be provided
for by liberal contribution from
the Union Pacific railroad company.
This much assistance is reasonably
assured. No help toward putting
this road in order by an appropri
alton from Alturas county can be-
asked nor expected, for the road is
in a good condition as far as it lies
in this county, and requires no
money to be spent on it. 1t is not
at all probable that Custer county
will appropriate any funds for such
a purpose, so if the road is COM
pleted it will have to be done BY
private subscription. There is every
indication that the mining season
will open early this year, and ii
would be very great advantage to
Ketchum if this road could be fin
ished in time to get the spring trade
of those miners and prospectors
who will outfit for a summer in
Sheep mountain and Seafoam, and
Who will all go this way if the road
is open. 1t is time some move was
made toward making the necessary
arrangements for opening this new
route. No doubt freight wagons
loaded with ore from Sheep noun
tain and Seafoam, and with sup
plies from our business houses fol
those districts, will become famil
lar sight upon our streets this com
ing summer.

HastY Burial.

Harry Lockett, who came 10 from
Smoky last week, died At the Interna
tional this morning at 5 o'clock. Rheu
matism of the heart Is said to have been
the fatal complaint. The funeral occur
red at r. N. to day.-BelIevue Herald
The above is an instance of hur-
rying the last mortal remains to
mother earth in less time even than
is usual; only eleven hours after
life had departed the body was in
TERED. The cause of the death was
not of such a nature as to make
such a hasty burial necessary.
When the disease from which ii
person dies is of a contagious char
tcter, it is highly necessary to ex
ercise due diligence in disposine

not harm the living, but even that
may be done without unseeml,

The dead out of sight as quickly a
possible seems to be growing NOR,
general throughout this entire coun
try than it used to be in former
times. There have been numerous
instances recorded where the awful
discovery has been made that life
mad not been extinct when the body
was inferred. The thought of such
a thing is enough to send a thrill
of horror throughout the stoutest
heart. Hasty burials must increase
the possibilities of such an appall-
ing catastrophe.

A Busy SUNDAY.

It is said that last Sunday was a
very busy day in Bellevue: The
Baptists immersed a-half dozen
converts in the pure crystal waters
of Wood river; the Methodists
neld service; the salvation arm
had a muster; a temperance society
organized; singing school was in
augurated, and the day wound up
with performance by the Georgia
Ministries in the evening. The sa-
loon men murmur a good deal be-
cause all these meetings interfere
with their business. and they can
10 nothing until after these trans
actions are ended, especially the
salvation army business. Bellevue
must be on the high road to a boom.

Died.

S. H. Hammond, who came to
Ketchum last fall and rented the
house formerly occupied by L. B.
Robinson, died last Wednesday
night of Bright's disease of the kid
neys. Deceased leaves wife and
three children-two sons and a
daughter, all grown up. The chill
dren were all absent at the time Of
the death, the sons in different parts
of the territory and the daughter in
the East. Deceased was member
of the Masonic order in good stand
ing and his former lodge, in Hunt
ington, Indiana, has been duly
notified of his demise. The funeral
will take place to-day from the
Methodist Church under the aus
pieces of the Masonic fraternity, and
the body inferred in the Ketchum
Cemetery.

A Calamity.

Doc Pitts cat, otherwise lynx,
departed this life last week owing
to long duration of fasting. This
is very discouraging to the efforts
of the old man. What if such a
fatality should befall the wolverine
family he expects to capture IN a
short time? From latest reports
we regret to learn that he is wofully
annoyed by the impudence OF the
"tallow Bird" more generally
known as scamp robbers which
steal the bait and spring the traps.
From last accounts Doc is on his
way hither with his pack train.
bringing with him a bevy Of these
mischievous birds, intending to
present them to Captain Baxter.
They will be quite an addition to
his already interesting museum OF
natural euriosities.

Quite q Blaze.

Last Saturday nightabout eleven
O'Clock an alarm of fire startled
our quiet town out Of its first nap.
The fire was discovered to be in a
building belonging to Koninger,
and adjoining his beer saloon, and
was caused by a stove pipe that leo
through the roof becoming over
heated. Quite a large hole was
burned in the roof, and the muslin
ceiling was entirely consumed. Th'
bed-clothes on bed that stood III
the room were also badly burned.
Fortunately the fire was discoveries
before it had made much headwa,
or the building and the adjoining
saloon would have been destroyed,
and no doubt other houses i'll the
same block. The blaze was soon
extinguished and very little dam
age was sustained. but it was n
pretty close call. The Tiger engine
company had their engine ready for
service soon after the fire bell
sounded the alarm, but before the
tiremen could get in their work the
fire had been put out by few buck
cts of water judiciously applied.
Altogether, this was lucky escape
from what might have been great
loss, and will no doubt serve to adj
monish people that too much care
cannot be exercised in regard to
stovepipes that pass through the
roofs OF buildings, and should also
serve to invite the attention OF the
board of FIRE guards to the condition
of such pipes throughout the town.
