Bishop Talbot held services in the
Universalist church last Sunday both
morning and evening. The church
was crowded to overflowing on both
occasions. Bishop Talbot IL clear
and forcible speaker and his energy and
intense carnestness holds his audience
and carries conviction to all. The
central thought of the evenings dis
course was "progress." In the devcl-
opment of the theme, the material pro-
gress of the age was noticed, the men,
tai development and culture touched
upon, while in the peroration the
speaker dwelt upon the necessity Of
Christian progress to develop fully the
highest culture Of perfect manhood.
The discourse abounded in historical
allusion, and was delivered with that
earnestness and force that always
characterizes Bishop Talbot's efforts.
The bids for contracts on the differ
ent sections of the new Salmon river
wagon road have been opened and the
contracts let. The construction of the
road is divided into four sections. The
first extends from Mt. Idaho to Flor.
ence; the second from Florence to
Salmon river; the third from Salmon
river to Warm Springs, and the last
section extends from that point to Sal
mon Meadows. The entire cost of the
road will be $32,24O, which is 81, ,76(
less than the amount appropriated fol
its construction. Ithas been suggested
that this surplus be added to the 81 ,5O(
already appropriated for a permanent
bridge across Salmon river, that being
considered too small a sum to insure {
durable and adequate structure. Th'
actual work began on the 10th inst
The work will be pushed rapidly ant
completed within year from date.
The railroad will get here In spite o
all assertions made to the contrary b.
