way from Boise to Thunder mountain

Mr.. Bennett knows the hills thoroughly
and is only one of many who exercise
good judgment and take the northern
route. Mr.. Bennett has been in Boise
the greater part of the winter on min

Marvin Sanders last Tuesday got
''excited" and tried to run the town,
but met with a dire disappointment.
When he was in the zenith of his i'm
aginary glory, Ed Malerich (marshal
pro tem) "picked him off, and took him
to the village refrigerator. Next morn
ing Judge Wolbert fined him five days
hard labor at street improvement, and
the boys ardor to be bad has cooled
considerably since. Marvin enjoys the
distinction of being the first occupant of
the calaboose.

Grangeville. Delegates are invited to
bring tents with them, although the
people of Denver and vicinity will be
glad to accommodate delegates who do
not care to camp out. All Sunday
school workers are asked to keep the
convention in mind.
