Chairman Scouten's campaign OF
slander still continues. This week
his victim is j. S. Taylor of Bernice.
The beauty of the situation is that
the more man has said against him
from that source the better he is off.
The standing of j. S. Taylor for
honor, integrity and business ability
is so high in this county, that he will
receive vote much in excess of his
party ticket.

The Citizens Military Band of
Bernice scored a big success and won
many worthy praises by competent
judges for the style and manner of
the very excellent music they rem
dered on their visit to this place last
Friday. 1t was a disappointment to
many that the inclement weather
was an intervening obstacle which
rendered it impossible to attend the
concert in the court house, yet there
were many who took a good drench-
ing that they might hear this much
heard of band. 1t was highly
pleased audience, notwithstand the
features attending with

of the kind that gives charm to the

Tough oa solo Players

The anti-gambling law will be
hard on the old-timers of this
State-not so much on those who
have acquired the habit of gamb-
ling as a business, but those who
through the long winter even
ings have driven dull care away
in that favorite Idaho game
known as solo-played for the
drinks or cigars. The law en-
acted two years ago did not in
clude sociable games played in
which an unwritten law makes it
obligatory upon the loser to
treat But the present law
reaches a little further and Gov
ers what are known as sociable
games, played more for pastime
than the value of that which is
played for. But those who have
passed so many enjoyable eve
nings in such games and will
feel lonesome when deprived of
that source of amusement and
enjoyable pastime, viii in time
forget all about their old love
and find some other means of
enjoyment during the long win

After a three days squirt of
winter weather, during which
about twenty inches of snow fell.
bringing March in like roaring
lion, Spring seems 10 be upon
us Our weather sharp says the
last three days of February in
dicate the prevailing results for
the three following months So
in March it IS to blow and snow.
April snow and blow. May do
both.
With Spring comes the usual
travel. and our citizens out sun
ming themselves
We had a pleasant visit from
some Clayton people-John
Burns and Riley Caul took a
trip up here to see if we were
catching fish. but they slipped
up on it" We were quietly en-
gagged in other work Our fish
poles were all thrown up on a
hay stack void of lines or hooks
We don't go fishing any more, as
we understand the law now for
bids, besides our last trip was of
such an unsatisfactory nature as
TO disgust any one with the
sport. 1t brought up question
as much argued by debating
societies in our young days,
whether hen setts or sits in
Matching eggs. That is whether
one slips up or slips down, when
falling upon ice. We were COM
ing home with beautiful lot of
trout and were making an effort
TO keep up with a blizzard and
reach home before the storm
burst, our companions far in the
rear, when in an instant, there
were fish flying up in the air, a
fine pole broke In the middle
The next instant the blue canopy
of heaven turned TO blackness,
Studded with innumerable dia-
monds- We had stepped on
newly frozen glare of ice but
slightly covered with snow
and our anatomy was consider
ably disturbed, and our feelings
more so, when one of the party
coming up said Hello, old
man; did you slip up ?'' Anoth-
er in the resr said Hello, old
fellow; you slipped down, didn't
You ?" The language following
would have been unit for use at
a camp meeting, or in a circle
engaged in family prayer. So
we have sworn of fishing until
the law comes to its sense, and
we can enjoy one of the bless
ings of earth without fear or
trembling.
We turned around when On the bridge
To take oae last foad look.
