lie be damed, until the county is
almost swamped with bonded in
debtedness, until the people are
crushed in heavy taxation, and
added to this our Treasurer had
the misfortune to have some $16, :
600 of county money in the Bunt-
ing bank when it failed, and of
which the bank has only paid,
we believe, 20 cents on the dol
lar. 1t behooves the people to
see that judicious men are elect
ed. The county Board is the
place to commence at. Here is
the place where the fault has
been for years. We do not say
this to cast any reflection upon
any certain county administra-
ton. but date back from: the
early days of the county and note
how badly public affairs have
been managed, which no one de-
MES. So we say in conclusion
for the hope and welfare of this
county let none but the best ma
terial be selected for county Off
GERS this Fall. 1t is for the
people to say, and we hope they
will make no mistake.
All members of the Repub-
lican Central Committee of Gus
ter county are requested to meet
in Challis, Idaho, on Aug. 3rd,
for the purpose of selecting 8
delegates to attend the Republi-
can State convention which
meets at Boise City of Aug. 18th.
1898, and for the transaction of
any other business that may
properly come before said Com
mittee. N. ]. Sharp. Chairman;
L. II. Johnston, Sec.
Col. and Mrs. N. J. Sharp
are making all necessary ar
rangements to move to HALEY
soon, where the Colonel has Sc
cured the position of Register
of the U. S. Land Office. We re-
gret very much the departure of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp from our
community where they have re-
sided so many years. and who
have been such estimable citi-
zens, but what is our loss is
Hailey's gain.
Attorney Leon Calhoun has
purchased Col. Sharp's law Office
in Challis, where he will com
mence the practice of law. We
bespeak for the young attorney
liberal patronage.
The musical entertainment
given in Challis Last Friday
evening at the church by our
local musicians, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. f. A. Reed, surpass-
ed all previous efforts, and was
excellent, indeed. The building
was handsomely decorated for
the occasion with flags and bunt-
ing and flowers, which lent
patriotic scene to the surround
ings. Following is copy of the
evenings program, and all musi-
clans and lovers of choice music

The program from start to
finish was highly entertaining,
and received much applause, and
all who took part did themselves
great credit. While we do not
care to engage in praise without
sufficient merit, we must say that
Miss Mary Meyer is truly excel
lent on the piano, considering
her age-only IA years-and was
only excelled by Mr.. Reed. Miss
Grace Foote also rendered two
beautiful piano solos. Oar choice
was, first-the vocal duet, by
Miss Mary Meyer and Mr.. Reed
entitled Swallows" 2nd-Voc-
al duet Stars of Our Union
by Mrs. Foster and Mrs. f. A.
