GLENS.s FERRY FACTS.

Again | take up my fahcr TO dot
a few items from this burg. So
many things have occurred since |
last wrote hardly know where TO
/, commence.
The most notable in the line Of
improvements is the Pacific eating
house, large and commodious
building under the direction Of the
U. T. system, but under the direct
management of Mrs. A. Ryan, the
the most popular and enterprising
caterer to the public taste on the
. whole L. p. system. She is widely
known and esteemed by the rail
road company and all the employees
as also a majority of the travelling
public, and she has well sustained
her reputation since her advent
here. She also runs n similar es-
tablishment in Cokeville. Mrs.
Ryan very kindly showed me
through the establishment, and |
found every department a model Of
elegance and taste. She runs a
lunch counter in connection with
the dining room, which is a great
convenience to the travelling public.
as they can get the very best OF
6 - al l., g.
tables are filled with every variety
and delicacy thai can be procured,
and it is everyday fare, but the
browning feature is that her seven
or eight assistants are all white and
the very hest and most intelligent
and skilled that can be procured.
No Chinese need apply. The house
il kept open day and night. 1t is
! the company's intention TO soon en-
large this house to better accom-
modate its growing patronage.
| am also Informed by those in
authority that the railroad company
will make some great improvements
here at an early day. They con-
template making this point the sup
ply and repair depot for the two ad-
joining divisions.
One serious drawback to Glenn's
Ferry is the lack of dwelling houses
There is not one TO be had at any
price. | do not know ef any better
investment than 10 put up dozen
houses at this place, and | would
guarantee that each one would be
occupied as soon as completed, at
big rent
, With the certainty Of an abund-
ance Of water next season to irrigate
!. large scope Of country in this Vi
cinitv, | do not know of n more de
sirablc place for a family TO locate
than Glcnn's Ferry, if the dwellings
were here. We have, without doubt,
the hest school in the county, in
fact it can not be excelled by any
place according to the facilities we
have. The trustees are live. wide
awake men, who have the interests
Of the district fully at heart, and
the backbone TO supply them. We
are looking for 300.pound bell,
with frame, all weighing $50 pounds,
, also lot of new desks to supply
the increasing number of scholars
The bell will be put up temporarily
for this winter, as n larger building
is to be erected next spring-the
present one being entirely made
quate for even the present number
of scholars.
As 10 the morale Of the town, it is
up with the most refined in the
State. Preaching twice every Sun
dav, and Sabbath school every Sun
day afternoon; singing school every
Friday evening; also meeting of
: the Society of Christian Endeavor
every Wednesday evening; and the
, Young Mems Christian Association
with open rooms every day and
evening, with membership of 100,
SO YOU see we are not behind the
times in moral instruction.
A painful accident happened on
| the night of the 18th to tramp
riding on the brake bar Of the west
bound train. When discovered at
Toponis his foot was frightfully
mangled. lie was brought to this
place, thence taken to Mt. Home
where he died from loss of blood
His name was James Hickey and
, he said he lived at Rocky Bar at
one time.
Hardly had we recovered from
this. when the horrible news came
Of the collision of two passenger
trains six miles east Of PocatellC
and the death Of ak unfortunates
/, two postal clerks and four Indians
J and the wounding of three more
Blu such is railroading.
\ The great circus passed through
a here this morning on its way to Pc
n catello, some 90 ears in three sec
!, tons. But the most important even
is that the pay car will be here this
evening, which will make the boys
: hearts glad.
;. met the smiling face of judge
: Sinnott on our streets Yesterday
He always has numerous friends t,
greet him here. He did not tarry
