The Idaho Mountaineer, pub
lished at Stuart by II. +. ODon-
nell, is the latest aspirant for jour-
nalistic favors in Idaho county,
and judging from the appearance
of it's initial number it is going to
be a slayer and power IN the
state. For a total stranger to
this section the paper is as newsy
as it is possible to make it, and we
trust the good people of Stuart will
appreciate good thing when they
have it and give the Monntaineer
liberal support. 1t is great
credit to its community.

one, there being 40 tickets sold.
These dances will be continued
every Saturday evening until
further notice, the proceeds to go
to the same purpose.
