Many eheep are being driven
eastward through the country near
Idaho Falls. A new disease has
lately developed in some of these
flocks. The sheep are attacked with
the swelling of the head, their eye
balls are almost forced out of their
sockets, and the skin and wool fall
from the face. They either get we'll
in few days or else die. They be-
come thin and weak, so the hocks
have to be halted to give the sick
rest and some chance for recovery.
In one lot of $500 about 5000 got
the disease and large number died.
1t is thought that the water caused
a poisin to gather in pools and the
sheep drinking this brought on the
trouble.

names began with the number 200,

1t once cabled Mr.. K, who replied
that he was too late, but instructed
him to come to London at once as
be held q good position open for
him in Australia. Mr.. Nugent came

Challis Messenger: It seems al
most certain that in the near future
. telephone line will be run from |
Custer county to connect with our
dearest railroad point-Ketchum.
The proposed line will start at
Ketchum at connect with Challis, I
Bayhorse, Clayton, Bonanza and
Custer. Considerable interest is |
,eing taken in this matter, and
llready parties have agreed to take
,ver one-half the stock, and the |
will be taken when it is
,eeded. The proposed line can be
constructed for much less expense
han people imagine. The telephone
inc through Lemhi county from
Red Rock 10 to be built for about
4, $50, and it would not cost near
10 much to build one through Gus
er county from Ketchum, az there
8 plenty of timber for the poles,
md on . portion Of the route the
native tress could be used. A tel.
phone from the railroad through
his county would be Of lasting
besides being = good pay
ne investment.
