lis last Friday evening from Gus
ter, en route for Gibbonsville.
The Trlstar Cyclone will probab-
ly not make its appearance at the
Literary Society next Friday
evening. Editor Lamme, we are
informed, had the misfortune to
"pf' the form when about ready
to go to press.
Robert Bell departed from
Challis last Friday for Blackfoot.
He wishes US to say that our re-
port in the last issue of the Mes
SENGER that he had accepted the
Superintendency of the Hartford
company's property at Estes
Mt, was little premature.
One of the leading medical
journals of the world. after a
number of experiments, gives
out the following sure preventa-

Some eighteen or twenty Ore
gon Short Line surveyors are
now at work making a perman-
ent survey between Mackay and
Challis, with orders to rush the
work. 1t is said on good auth
ority that the cars will be run
ming to Challis by the first of
next September.
The Salmon Recorder has
printed on its envelopes, in
bold type 1.-The ONLY WAY
to Thunder Mountain is via. Sal
mon, Idaho" This is not fair,
Sister Merritt, to claim a mon
opoly on the "only way" to
Thunder Mountain. Challis has
at least half a dozen "only ways"
to Thunder Mountain, and we
have heard of two hundred ''only
ways" throughout the State to
the famous gold fields.
The mail schedule between
Mackay and Challis has been
changed again. The new time
card calls for the mail to arrive
in Challis at 12 o'clock, NJ, and
depart at 5 p. m. of the same
day. While it gives Challis it's
mail a few hours earlier, it is of
no benefit to the people of the
up-river towns with their pres
ent schedule. What we want is
a daily mail, which we are en-
titled to, and if we cannot get it
via. Blackfoot, let us ask for it
via. Redrock and Salmon.
A big show is advertised to
play in Challis Jan. 30-31 and
Feb. 1st, and on their return
from Custer, Feb. 10-11. This
no "coon" outfit. They carry a
company of IA people, and the
press all over the country where
they have played claim that their
specialties between acts are alone
worth the price of admission.
They present the following first
class standard plays: "a Money
Order" "a Woman's Power"
East Lynne" "My Old Ken
lucky Home" 1.-The Battle of
Santiago, my Uncle From
Japan" /" THE Convict's Daugh-
ter" and the Live Wire"
We acknowledge receipt on an
! annual pass over tue CnalilS q
Salmon stage line, from the man
ager, Mr.. e. A. Readicker. This
is the only direct route for Sal
mon and Lemhi county points,
Pahsamaroi and Little Lost riv-
er. At Salmon it connects with
the Salmon, Gibbonsville g. Red
rock line, a direct route to the
railroad, carrying passengers,
mail and express. Stages leave
Challis on Tuesday. Thursday
and Saturday mornings at 6
O'Clock, and arrive in Salmon the
same evening, thereby giving
the passengers a good night S
rest in the thriving city of Sal
mon, before taking their depar-
tpre for the railroad at Redrock
the next morning. This is a fine
scenical route for the tourist and
pleasure seeker. Stages from
Salmon arrive in Challis on Mon
day. Wednesday and Friday eve
