AN IDAHO Letter.

Mountain Home, Elmore County,
Idaho, Jan. 18th, 1895.
To THE EDITOR: Mountain Home
is valley that lies all along the Snake
river, from twenty to fifty miles wide,
with mountains on either side, tower
ing eight thousand feet above sea
level. The snow is deep on the
mountains. In the valley there is
sometimes a light fall of snow that
last about two days, followed by a
shower that melts the snow. 1t is
sloppy under foot, but the mud is
never deep. The weather is not cold,
Sometimes it freezes little, but is
often warm enough to have the out
side door open. The winter is short
and spring is early. Gardening is
commenced in March. Building is
going on in pleasant weather all vim
ter, and there will be a great many
nice buildings built in the spring. I
forgot to mention that the snow and
rain waters the land in winter so that
crops grow in the spring without irri-
CATION. The water is the best in the
world and soft enough to wash clothes
in. Rent here is high and furniture,
hardware and everything is high.
Butter is worth IS cents per pound,
eggs 80 cents per dozen and milk 10
cents per quart. Wages are good. A
first-class carpenter can get 81 per
day; a farm hand gets from $25 to $50
per month. Idaho fruit is the best in
the world. Trees bear very young and
the fruit is of the finest flavor. Idaho
Hot Springs are eight miles from
Mountain Home. There are numerous
cattle and sheep ranches. Cattle run
all winter without feed or shelter.
There is from one hundred and fifty
to two-hundred thousand sheep on
ranches around Mountain Home. A
million and a quarter pounds OF wool
were shipped from this point last
spring.
Mining is extensively carried on all
winter. There are gold and silver
mines in Idaho. We have a splendid
grade of soft coal that is shipped
from Rock Springs. E. D. CooPER.

MS cuShlOn0d Ofhc0 CHAIR. "A nat
with the crown missing, a French

purse, made him a striking mover in
the throng. dad" Caswel( came in
with various patches on his presenta-
BILE side, while a Redwood Roller Mills
Best sign graced the other side.
Herb. Baldwin's makeup was spon-
taneous. and hence the best. Bind
ing twine acted as suspenders to a
pair of trousers that were hard hold
ing up, the twine hardly hidden un-
der a ragged coat minus any cloth in
the back-and almost ditto in front.
10y Pugh was ragged urchin in the
strictest sense of the word Then
Charlie Luscher, Eugene Drake, NJ.
D. Martin, Frank Ring and Jack
Mosher came very near being incog
by the garments they wore.
Positively two of the most ragged
costumes ever worn were those worn
by Misses Jorgenson and Stevens.
They were all rags. A look would be
checked by fear. A cursory exami-
nation was an allurement for further
inspection. A careful inspection
would lead to-well, well-the ladies
were up in the art of costuming and
neat gowns we're under the ragged
ones and not even an elbow pro-
truded. Then Miss Bent, Miss Skin
ner, Miss Waterman, Mrs. Anderson,
Miss Schmahl, Miss Isham, Mrs. w.
A. French, Miss Brainerd, Miss Win
ME Warner, Miss Laird, Mrs. Skinner,
Mrs. Pease, Mrs. Lamberton, Mrs.
Hughes, Mrs. Horace Baldwin, Mrs.
H. A. Baldwin were there in rags to
help the occasion along.
Those who did not happen to under
stand just what poverty function
was before they came we're made
aware of the fact by small fine for
wearing garments too good for the oc-
casion. Some of the best costumed
were fined just for the humor that
there was in it. The prizes for the
most ragged lady present was award
ed to Miss Jorgenson and for the
most ragged gentleman to II. L.
Bsecher.
After the promenade came luncheon
of rolls, doughnuts and coffee, served
on the carpeted floor of the residence.
1t was quite spectacle to see those
present taking their edibles picnic
style. After luncheon came games of
the various kinds.

A RAGGED AFFAIR.
Some Sensational Costuming at a
St. Agnes Social.

Beauty in rags was predominant at
the St. Agnes Guild poverty function
at the Mcmillan home last Wednes-
day evening. The elite of the young
or social element of the city was pres
9 1t, and in the swim could easily be
found the handsomest the most rag
ged and grotesquely clad. Occasional
ly there was clever display of neatly
formed ankles just to show to the
judges or inspectors that the silken
hosiery was subject to the silken
patch neatly fitted together; or, per-
haps, just to expose an aperture in
in the garment; or to show the size of
a No. 10 slipper on No. 2 foot; oc-
casionally one was unmasked while
the attention Of the inspectors was
called to shred or two hanging from
rich Irish lace at the bottom of an at
tractive skirt. And while the moro
perceptive we're drinking in the beau
ties or sensations of these different
spectacles, the beautiful gazelle eyes
Of the fair sex we're wandering around
the room gazing on the replaced por-
tions of the attire worn by the mas
culine members present. For instance,
there was Lee Beecher, with an at
tractive patch fair and square on that
portion of his anatomy which graces
