HALL AND VALLEY NEWS.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Maud Tinkelpaugh and Nellie Olson
are on the sick list this week.
Mrs John Colburn of Pioneer was
visiting at H. M. Thomas Sunday.
Some of the hayseeds utilized their
lay loft this week by going fishing
Our roads are rather dusty, but still if
the ranchers would only stop and con-
slider they would see they did not need
to be irrigated.
George Thomas and Jack Griffin went
fishing on Douglass creek Monday, and
the poo: little fishes in the brook wish
George and Jack would stay away with
their hooks.
The weather is rather changeable this
week, with thunder. lightning and hail
and enough rain to give the haymakers
a lay-otf. Still 1t is good hay weather
again and all hands are busy.
The potato bugs are very bad in this
part of the country. In some places
nothing but stems are to be seen, and
they are completely covered with the
pests. Potato bugs and foXtail seem to
be taking this valley.
We will be glad when our road super
visor gets through haying, SO that he can
look after few of the irrigating bitches
which are flooding our county roads, A
few bridges might prove Of great con-
venience to the public.

A WEEK OF OUTINGS,
Three Picnics Held This Week-Games
Races and Other Pasfimes En- ioxad

lnree I1cn1cs Held This Week-Games,
Races and other Pastimes Enjoyed.
This has been the banner week for
picnics this season, three having oc.
Cured up to to-day. The first was that
of the Methodist Sunday school on
Tuesday. 1t was held at Flint creek
crossing, in the picturesque little grove
in Schuh's field. A band wagon and a
dozen or more private conveyances took
the picnickers to the place mentioned,
where most pleasant day was spent.
All present had highly enjoyable
time. and returned in the evening well
satisfied with the days outing.
The Presbyterian Sunday school and
its patrons picnicked Oh upper Marshal
creek Wednesday. II was, perhaps the
largest gathering of ladies and chill
dren that spent day in recreation in
the shady hooks near the city. The
homes of many families were deserted
during thu day. and more than one
husband was obliged to take his lunch
at the restaurant unless he preferred to
do bis own cooking. The picnickers
assembled at the Presbyterian church
about s 80 O'clock in the morning, and
so large was the gathering that two
band wagons were pressed into service
III order to accommodate all, aside from
many who were in private conveyances
or III carriages of their own. The
start was made about o'clock. It was
a pretty sight to behold, two large
band wagons. each drawn by four
horses and loaded with gayly attired
ladies and children, as they departed
for the grounds selected, west of the
city. That bountiful supply of de-
licious refreshments accompanied them
would be unnecessary to state. The
day was spent in playing games and
indulging in other pleasurable pastimes,
the luncheon being not least among
the most noteworthy events of the day.
The day was as if according to pro-
gram. excellent weather prevailed and
nothing transpired to mar in the least
the pleasure of those who had ven
tured to pass the day in joyful recrea-
tion among the shady pines on Mar
shal creek.
The third outing party of the week
departed this morning for lower Rock
creek. They will camp near the mouth
Of Stony creek and expect to remain a
week or ten days The party consists
of the families of George and Robert
Cornell, Miss Maggie Hickey and sew.
eral more Parkerville people. j. J.
band wagon conveyed
them to the camping grounds. The
party is we'll supplied with all the nee
essaries of life in camp, and will no
doubt have most pleasant onting.
George Cornell accompanies the party
as chaperon.

LETTER FROM R. [. FALKINS.

He is in Park City, Utah, But Gives the
Pretty Girls There the Marble Heart,
A letter received in this city from r.
l.. Falklns, who departed for Park City,
Utah, several weeks ago, states that he
arrived there all right ard in due time.
He commenced to work on August lst.
and says that he believes that he will do
we'll IN his new location. Mr.. Falkins
writes that Park City is not as pretty a
place as Philipsburg, but hopes that he
will like the town better after he be-
comes more acquainted with the people.
He confirms the report received Eere last
week in letter from Theo. Smith con-
corning the many pretty girls down
there, but he differs from Mr. Smith, in
asmuch as he appears inclined to give
them all the marble heart He says that
he hopes they will remain at ii respectful
distance and will not "bother' him. Mr..
Falkins stopped over at Salt Lake city
for day on his way and greatly enjoyed
the sights OF the Mormon city. In con
cluding his letter he asked to have the
Philipsburg Mail forwarded to his ad-
dress, and states that it seems like meet
ing friend from home when perusing
its columns. He desires to be kindly
remembered to all his friends here.

ON THE EDMoN NToN TRAIL,
VIM. Beven, Former Shift Boss at COmbi-
nation, Died of Scuryy Last Winter

VIM. Beven Former Shift Boss at Combi-
nation. Died of Scurvy Last Winter.
The following article, published in the
Edmonton Bulletin of last week, may be
of interest to many residents in this
comm unity who have been scanning the
press reports for lists of survivors and
for names of friends who we're supposed
to have been on the Edmonton trail last
winter:
about twenty men from the north,
including ten returning Klondikers and
six of McFee's survey party, are on the
way in from the landing. Two arrived
this forenoon. Their names are Thomas
Peterson and John Nylander of Butte,
Mont, members of the Montana party
which left here on the 23d of May, 1898.
They, with three other outfits, wintered
ou the Nelson, and they report three
deaths among the parties there, from
scurvy, viz: VIM. Bevan, Butte, Mont;
Henry Tottenham, Kamloops, B. G., and
James A. DOran, a member of another
party, address unknown Bevan was
taken sick about the first of January
and in spite of plenty of nourshing food,
warm cabin ard attentive care, died
on the Both of March The remains
were inferred behind the cabin. He left
no property or message. Tottenham
was taken sick about the 1st of March
and died on the Sth of June, while his
companions were trying to bring him
out to civilization. The body was in
tered on the bank of the Nelson, about
.wenty-three miles from their winter
camp. He had letter of credit for
81 900 on the II. B. Co., and other papers
showing that he had s5,147 in addition
at his credit in the bank of British
Columbia, Kamloops All papers and
effects will be turned over to n d. Beck,
q. G., here, the public administrator.
The names OF the other men who win
tered on the Nelson and who are re-
tuning are: George Bernard, Calgary;
VIM. Gibson, Maple creek; Pat Dorothy,
Jerry O'ROurke, Jas. A. Doran, Fred
Petit, John Ridley and Chas. Ferrow."
Ihos. Peterson was also former resi-
dent in this community and is we'll
known here. John Nylander is broth
er-in-law Of Andrew Linguist. At Ed
monton they secured some clothing and
two old bicycles upon which they de-
parted for Great Falls and haye prob
ably reached that point by this time.
Mr.. Beven froze his feet about January
lst, and was unable to walk or leave the
cabin, and from lack of exercise he
contracted scurvy, which together with
despondency, caused his death.
James A. Doran, the member of the
other party mentioned was a resident of
Anaconda.
