M. A. Brown has been wrest-
ling with the grip for several
days past.
The Haley News Miner says
mountain lion is killing horses
and cattle of the ranchers on host
river, in the neighborhood of
Houston. They have been try
ing to kill or capture him for
some time past, but their efforts
have proved fruitless. He has
been treed twice by dogs, but be-
fore the hunters could get there.
he made his escape each time.
The farmers are so anxious to
get rid of him that they offer as
a reward a good team and har-
ness to the one who will capture
him, either dead or alive. The
animal is a large one and under
stands his business. He has al
ready created much havoc
among the stock, and the end is
not yet. Why not send for
Teddy the Terror.
The Oregon Short Line will or
ganize within 80 days, a company
to build the Idaho branch known
as the Custer line. This is the
road to run northwest from
Blackfoot or north from Pocatel-
10, penetrating the famous Bay
horse and Salmon City regions,
which promise to be very pro
ductive for the success of a rail
road. The road is to be ninety
miles long and will cost $1,000, :
600. 1t will be laid with light
rails formerly used on the main
lines, and will be equipped with
light engines, of which the Short
Line has plenty. The question
of Blackfoot or Pocatello for the
starting point is still undecided,
but it is likely Blackfoot will be
selected as from there a better
route can be secured. About the
only engineering difficulty will
be that of laying track on the
great lava beds along the route.

Howl ! You howlers Curse
the trusts and the minute you
get ten dollars ahead send in an
order to Montgomery Ward OF
Sears, Roebuck, and help sup
port one of the biggest trusts in
the country. What if you do get
your goods little cheaper-that
is what the trusts claim to do.
They crush out competition by
their low prices and if you take
the benefit you simply sustain
them in their contention. Every
dollar sent to mail order house
is just that much toward build
ing up a trust. Montgomery
Ward is not philanthropist in
any sense of the word. He is a
shrewd business man who by
judicious advertising has built
up trust that bids fair to wreck
the business houses of small
towns. If you desire this, send
them your cash and get credit
with your home merchants and
denounce the trusts. Let youl
actions speak for you and prac
