Thursday evening the people along the
Lexington trolley ~ line were treated to
q sight rare to their quiet streets, and
music that had power to soothe the savage
breast lulled them to peaceful dreams.
What seemed to be a fairy coach gliding
over rails of bliss, was with difficulty rec
ognized as one of our prosaIo street cars,
so transformed was it by bunting, sun
flower stalks, grotesque face lamps and
Chinese lanterns galore. "Sweet music
was ~discoursed' by a land organ, horns,
bells and ~iolliest laughter. The "trolley"
was outlined by lights, the current being
generated by sparks of wit and mirth.
The triumphal march was made from
Third and Main streets to the end OF the
line and back. Refreshments were served
at Hackers, whence the merry crowd
proceeded to Mr.. e. j. McGrew's to spend
the remainder of the evening in dancing
and music. The party consisted of Misses
Marie M~arechal, Mary Henry, Locke
Arnold, Sadie McClelland, Mary Winsor
Silver, George Gilkeson, Eugenia Davis,
Bess and Florence Wallace, Florence
Neale and Claudia Silver; Messrs. Horace
Bolton, Walter Ireland, Frank Hays, Ed
win Rankin, Ed Catron, George Black
well, Reid Byland, A. Hix. They were
by Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Me-
Grew, than whom nc ''old folks'' ever
made them ave a iollier time. 1t is ru-
mored that the party have already received
invita- ton to bring their ''trolleyii to
Washington City to escort Bryan to the
White House.

THE COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE.

Many people have but a very
slight conception of the amount Of
work that is transacted daily at the
otflceo the County Clerk, who is
also district court clerk and ex-
otficio Auditor and Recorder, and it
is common belief among many
that this public servant and his
deputy, who attend to this function
OF our county government, do but
little beside drawing their breath
and their salary. This is a very
erroneous idea-for the duties of the
county clerk are legion and cover a
broader scope than those of any of
the other county officials. AS fair
sample of small portion of the
work, take for instance the Record
er's department. Deeds, mortgages,
mining locations, etc, must be re-
corded, and some of these docu-
ments cover many pages of large
record book. All this has not only
to be copied but carefully read and
compared. Besides, while the Dis
trict Court is in session the clerk or
his deputy must be there continu-
ously during such session, and when
the Commissioners meet he must
attend in person or send his deputy.
All the duties pertaining to these
two offices, which are by no means
thrilling, must be attended to; mean
while the work in the other depart
ments is piling up just the same.
There are documents innumerable
to be classified, recorded, or kept
track of, warrants to draw, mar
riage Ices to issue and record, legal
notices to be sent out or posted, and
no end to the number of letters to
be read and answered, many of
them of the thank you" class, or,
in other words, touching on matters
wholly of private interest-never-
theless involving some time in
searching or figuring to give the de
sired information. Usually if these
letters are not answered by return
mail" as the request generally ends
with, there is a kick" and the poor
clerk is roundly abused for being
derelict in the duties of his office,
and he is promised lift the wrong
way if he should come up for office
again. One such letter came to our
notice not long ago that would at
best require whole day of diligent
searching to find, still the writer
asked that it be answered by return
mail.
Clerk w. A. Reynolds has held the
position just one year, and we be-
lieve that even his worst enemies
will concur with us in the assertion
that he is a model official and that
the Auditor and Recorders duties
have been more ably and satisfao-
torily performed by him than by
any Of his predecessors. In point
of management his Office is second
to none in the State, and when it
is considered that all this vast ma
chinery is worked by Will Reynolds
with the assistance of but one dep
uty, the fact is worthy of more than
passing notice, and of itselfspeaks
volumes for the ability of that
official and his accommodating as
sistant, w. II. Manion.

TOWN OF ORCHARD.

Among the new points which de-
serve attention in Idaho the town
of Orchard claims a few words.
During the past year the large re-
servoir and canal system have been
completed providing irrigation for
10000 acres of land which can be
truthfully said to be as rich and
well located as any tract in Idaho.
Orchard is located about thirty
miles east of Boise and directl y
south fifteen miles from the Neal
mining district which is rapidly
being developed. Orchard is also
just north of the Bruneau district.
The town will be built up rapidly as
trading point of considerable size.
The operations of Messrs. Hyde and
Jackson, New York men, are on
scale that merits the praise of Idaho
people. They now have the largest
prune orchard in the State and by
the spring of 1896 will have nearly
1000 acres under orchard cultiva-
ton. They have invested over $780,
600 in the canals and land improve.
ments at Orchard. The streets of
the town have been graded and
trees will be planted early in the
spring. A nine-mile pipeline has
been completed, providing free
water under good pressure for pro-
lection from fire, thus giving a wa
ter service equal to any of the
larger towns of the State.
A fine hotel will soon be erected and
negotiations are pending for the es
Enlistment at Orchard of number
of industries needed in Idaho, includ-
ing factory to employ 100 hands.
Land in Orchard tracts and lots in the
town are now being sold. The prop
erty is owned by strong men who have
carried on the work of improvement
during the first year quietly. Now the
rapid building up of good town and
thriving community of orchardists will
be pushed. The handling of this
property will be in charge of Mr.. G. e.
Mainland of Salt Lake city, the vest
ern land agent of the Union Pacific
Railroad company. He has given con
siderable attention to Idaho during the
past year and is firmly convinced that
the wonderful resources of the State
are about to attract to it splendid
immigration Of desirable people which,
together with the new development of
the mining interests, will send forward
rapidly the good towns and lands
along the Short Line, among which
he claims Orchard will show great
progress during 1896.-Cor. Salt Lake
Tribune, Jan 5.
