As announced last week evange
listic meeting is being conducted
IN the Stone School house by Evan
gelist R. '. Williams OF New York
city. Itis seldom that the people
Of Shoshone are privileged to lis
ten to as able speker as Mr.. Will
Jams has proved himself to be, and
we regret to say that the atten-
dance has not been as large as the
sermons and lectures Mr.. Williams
delivers deserve. He is an inter
esting speaker, able to entertain
any audience and we urge all our
readers to attend these services and
show our appreciation of a good
thing when we get it.

below zero, eight inches of snow
| fell the night OF the Both and
morning of the 1st, but if you will
watch the weather reports from the
country east of the Rockies you
will find that about three days af-
ter one OF their general billiards
we catch the tail end OF it, but it IS
never as cold or as bad storms. A
dozen years observation have shown
this rule to be infalliable, the ques-
ton is, how does the storm get over
the Rockies, to the west, and al
ways from two to five days later
than east OF the mountains, one
thing is certain that our storms all
come from the east, This morn
ing a chinook is cutting the snow
so that by night but little will be
left, cold as it has been none of the
larger bitches have had any ice in
them.
The cold did not interfere with
the regular dance. The people in
the valley are a good deal like the
little boy who begged his mother to
let him stay home one rainy day
and she consented, but in couple
OF hours, while it was still raining
he wanted to go fishing his mother
8 lid, Il thouhot it rained to hard
to go to school, "Well it does moth
er, but it is justright to 60 fishing. !
Our folks often find themselves too
busy, or too hot, or too cold to go
to church or Sunday school, but
none Of those things move them
when dance is in prospect or the
time comes for VIII Snodgrass to
make his regular trips up to Ka-
laka fiat, 1t Is reported that he
1oes not go to Briggs P. 0. for his
nail, but to see his female.
Madam Rumor says something
hat We must not tell until after
New Years, but there is roast tur
Key, oysters and other good things
mixed up with the report and pos
ible few dollars fees for A. S
'enter.
From some cause up to date,
here has been but very little hay q
Old so far. Many OF our ranchers
lace nearly their whole depen
ence on their hay crop.
Most OF the news has been FROST
