Retaliation is sometimes sweet

Retaliation is sometimes sweet
when it wins, but when one makes
such q complete failure as did Pres
colt the other day it assumes the
ridiculous. Bob Burns sued Pres
colt for q meat bill, but could not
find anything to attach. Prescott
forthwith made out a bill against
Bob for $18 worth of 'sslops" which
Prescott heretofore was glad to have
taken away, and attempted to ring
it in as an offset. Failing in this
Prescott then attempted to have
Bob arrested for Stealing Stops
from my hotel" The question now
is where viii the Stops be thrown so
long as this slop war continues?
The hotels Of Mountain Home Ger
tainly now have an unenviable rep
utation.
About the first move made by
the Wood River people in the Leg
islature will be a bill to cut off q
portion of Western Alturas and
attach it to Ada County, in order to
cripple the strength of the division
lists. Well, it is q cold fact that
the people of Atlanta, Rocky Bar
and Mountain Home, if they cannot
get a new county, would greatly
prefer this act to remaining within
Alturas' boundaries. Anything to
be relieved of the great HALEY in
cubus.
The output of bullion at the
Wide West mill is continually in

Mr.. G. Olsen dad and Miss
Carrie Strickland were married at
Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, on
Thanksgiving day. Both parties
are well known here and highly re-
spected. They came in on yester-
days train and went to Roberson's
Ferry where they will be given
grand reception by their many
friends.
L. A. Underwood appeared on
our streets Wednesday for the first
time in six weeks. He has just re-
covered from a serious attack OF
typhoid fever, and his numerous
friends are much pleased to again
greet him.

WHAT NONSENSE.

The HALEY News-Miner publishes
a string Of nonsensical lies purport-
ing to have been written at Rocky
Bar. We repubish the INNS last
effort in this line in order to show
the people of Elmore what bare
faced methods our enemies resort to
in order to defeat county division.
The INNS imaginary correspond
ent says:
While on the street to-day in
Rocky Bar overheard few Of our
big guns discussing county divis-
ion. And it brought to my mind
these words: "What fools these
mortals bel"
A few days before Mr.. Patterson
was fred from the superintendency
of the Alturas he was around town
telling that he had orders to shut
down the Alturas mine. Well, snp-
posing the mine had been shut
down what would have become of
county division? What would we
have left to support a county seat in
Western Alturss2 Pine Grove is

these circumstances, Mountain
Home and a few other water tanks

left to support q county govern.
ment-and fine county they would
make indeed.
You take a note of the people in
Rocky Bar, asking where the county
seat should beat Haley or al
Mountain Home-and all will say
HALEY. Ask the people Of Noun
tain Home whether the county sea-
should be at Haley or Rocky Bar
and with one voice they would ex
claim: "Hailey-never Rocky Bar.
Why has the county seat ques
ton never been brought up along
with division? It is for the reason
that every town and ranch in west
ern Alturas has made up its mint
that if it can not have the county
seat it will kick the life out of di

THE CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT.

The most pleasing and success
full entertainment ever gotten up in
Mountain Home was that of the
Ladies' Guild of the Episcopal
Church, at Odd Fellows Hall on
Wednesday evening. The musical
programme was carried ont to the
letter and the participants received
much hearty applause:
The hall was beautifully decorat-
ed and the various booths arranged
in the prettiest style imaginable.
The first, as one entered the hall,
was the Japanese Tea and Coffee
booth, under the supervision Of Mrs.
Cooper, Mrs. Helfrich. Mrs. Burns,
Miss Lola Madison and Miss Min
ME Stull.
The fancy work department was
managed by Mrs. Payne, Misses
May Cooper, Belle stull and Mabel
Payne.
The fish pond was under the care
of Mrs. White, Mrs. Stull, Misses
Eva Smith, Ada Huff and Myra
Stull.
The various departments were
conducted in q business-like manner
by the handsome and witty sales
women. The fishing pond was the
cause of much amusement for the
children especially. Miss Eva
Smiths pleasing manner in con-
Quoting the sale Of chances for q
"bite" was the means Of bringing
many dimes into that particular
fund. None could resist the be-
witching smiles of the fair watt
resses at the tea booth-hence the
great success attending the lunch
department.
The vocal and instrumental mu-
sic by Mrs. Helfrich, Mrs. Madison,
Mrs. Payne, Misses Lulu Thomas,
Lola Madison, Belle Stull, Minnie
Stull, Mabel Payne and Messrs.
Fred Wright and Harry Madison,
was excellently rendered and fire.
quently applauded.
Then came a recitation by Miss
Minnie Stull. given in this young
lady's usual clear voice and admir-
able delivery.
A duet by Misses Thomas and
Stull was exquisitely rendered and
highly appreciated.
The tableau,-"The Reaper and
Harvest"-by Mrs. Madison and
Myra Stull and May Hice, was q
beautiful sight, the little ones bear
ing the semblance of angels indeed
'sThe Gypsie Countess charac-
ter song by Mrs. Helfrich and Mr.
Madison was rendered with much
emotion and with great credit tc
both.
The Dialogue Act" by Charley
Baker, Archie Daniels and Lu Crut
tenden was very amusing and
showed that the little folks were
not to be outdone in the pleasures
Of the evening.
Fred Wright, who has splendid
voice and is a good vocal musician
brought down the house by singing
"Capting De Wellington's Boots.
Late in the evening Harry MALI
son, the major domo" Of thu
Bazaar and Entertainment, com
menced auctioneering the remain
der Of the articles, and his oily
tongue soon succeeded in disposinl
of every article.
The ladies, after paying all ex
penses, cleared $1,000, and they de
sire the BULLETIN to extend theil
sincere thanks to all who patronizet
them so literally.

The Very Best Fodder.


The very best fodder / have ever tried is
produced from sorghum. 1t can be grown by
sowing the wild prairie broadcast then
blowing under, or drilling out of hand behind
the prairie plow On old ground a good stand
can be secured by drilling in and using small
holes of the common corn-planter, dropping four
to six seeds from hole, and driving fast
they will be sufficiently scattered. But the
rows twice three times thick as for corn.
If you have not drill attachments let boy
drop'about as fast as he make his hand go
conveniently. Another way is to sow and har-
in like wheat. Sow when the ground is
warm. about half inch to inch deep. In
broadcast sowing I about bushel and
peck on an acre. / can grow more tons of cane
fodder to acre than from any other
grain. Sheep, horses, cattle and even hogs are
very fond of it, and when cut green the latter
will eat it before anything else. put nice
prairie hay in my feed rack and hangers, then
put cane fodder on top The fodder is invaria-
bly, eaten first In western Kansas is
very scarce, and they raise cane fodder almost
exclusively for their stock. They usually cut
two crops from planting. The second is
finest and very choice that they save for calves
and other young stock. When / have q surplus
amount of seed / soak it during summer and
feed TO hogs and horses. The seed is extra good
for poultry. I had about thirty acres of early
white Minnesota amber cane this year that
made into very nice syrup.

The Foreign CRAIG Trade.

LONDON. Jan. 23-The Mark Lane Express
says English wheat was in restricted demand, the
sales during the week being 81. $50 quarters, at
Dos I1d against 49, 739 quarters at 36s 4d for the
corresponding week last year. Flour was de-
pressed under increased receipts of foreign pro-
duce. Importations of foreign wheat decreased,
but prices continue lower in consequences of the
enormous supplies Of American -four. The in
creasing output of -four by American mills now
forms the dominant factor in the worlds bread
stuffs markets. At Liverpool wheat is Id cheap
er. Corn 10 in limited supply. but prices have
not varied. American new crop, which is being
offered at 24s Cd, ex ship, is found to be of ex-
cellent quality and sound, and one wheat cargo
arrived, one was sold, three withdrawn aud ono
remains. At to-days market wheat of all kinds
was depressed and sixpsncs less would have been
accepted, but buyers insisted upon one shilling.
Flour declined Cd. Corn was shade weaker.
Oats. beans and peas were steady.
