PERSONAL.

VIEW, the appointments of F. w. Meyers
to be postmaster at Denison was con-
frmed by the Senate on Monday last.
How much time will be required for
the issuance of the necessary papers
and the ful6llment of other regulations
we do not know.
We wish to take this opportunity to
publicly express our thanks to Hon. j.
P. Conner and to the many friends
who proved their friendship by their
deeds, and to whom we feel that we
owe deep debt of personal gratitude.
1t shall be our endeavor to deserve
the confidence of the community and to
conduct the Denison office in manner
which shall know no foes, We expect
to give our personal time and attention
to the office and also to retain the edi.
torial management of the REVIEW
The business management will be in
charge of Mr.. E. F. Tucker. 1t is our
hope not to neglect either the patrons
of the Office or of the REVIEW and in
fact we trust that greater freedom from
financial cares will enable us to make
of the REVIEW a better paper.
Since returning to this, the home of
our boyhood, we have labored inces
sanity to assist and to upbuild every
man or measure from Denison and
Crawford county. This we shall con-
tinue to do through every honorable
means and with whatever of energy or
ability we may command.
AS the editor of partisan paper We
have made enemies, a fact upon which
we do not congratulate ourselves but
which is one of the inevitable, if un-
pleasant, co-relatives of partisan news
paper work. The fact that our friends
have remained true and steadfast un
der ouch circumstances but makes
their friendship the dearer 60 us and
makes US but the more determined to
repay their kindness by being faithful
to their interests and to the trust i'm
posed.
Through the efforts of Judge Conner
sufficient allowance has been made
for rental so that the owner of the pres
ent postoffice has felt justified in order.
ing complete and modern postof1ice
equipment which will be installed
about March lst. The building will be
heated by furnace, will be we'll lighted
have hard wood floor and be kept as
clean and as pleasant as possible. Owing
to the new equipmentit will be possible,
unless the postoffice regulations inter.
fere, to keep the Office open for longer
hours especially for those owning lock
boxes, Judge Conner certainly de.
serves the thanks of Denison for max.
ing these Improvements possible, and
that too without any expense to the
business men of our city.
For the benefit of those concerned
we wish to state that it is not our pres
ent intention to make any change ir
the clerical force of the Office. Itshal
be our aim to have the postoffice keeI
pace with the advancement of Denisor
and in all things to maintain the very
excellent standard of efficiency which
has been set by the present postmaster
We would ask the indulgence of the
public over the mistakes we are bound
to make as beginner and would as
sure one and all that our chiefest OBJ
ject shall be to be as accommodating
as prompt and as efficient as is within
our power.

The following dispatch from the
daily press tells the story of u great
grief which has come to one of the
most respected Of the families of Craw

IDENTIFY driven to desperation by long
continued illness which in turn drove
him to at least temporary insanity and
prompted the fearful deed.
His relatives nave the sincere sym.
pathy of all in their sorrow and one

route to his Iowa home from Bridger,

ton train as it neared this city Tues.
day evening. He was riding in the
rear Pullman at the time and nothing
had been noticed out of the ordinary
with him, when he suddenly drew a
razor from his pocket and made a
desperate slash at his throat. The
windpipe and some lesser arteries
were severed, but luckily for him the
jugular vein and larger arteries were
unlnjured. He was taken from the
train here and his wounds were given
immediate attention.
At nine O'Clock tonight he is resting
easily and the doctor in attendance
gives hopes of his recovery His tenn.
perature is 1929 and his pulse 120 The

him as to why he attempted self
destruction.

AN IDAHO SNAKE RIVER WHALE.


The fish was not weighed In its en-
tlrety as II was butchered at the river,
but by making the average allowance
for loss In dressing, after Weighing the
dressed meat, Il probably would have
tipped the beam at AIS pounds. The
meat was retailed around town at s
cents per pound.
These sturgeon are caught by means
OF lines ranging from 100 10 400 feet

cording TO the caliber Of the fish ex-
pected 10 be caught At one end Of
the line are placed the hooks, suspend
ed from the main line by short ones n
few feet long. Some Of the hooks used
are about three inches across the
widest part OF the bow. They are
baited with lampereels which are
found on the rivers, but are generally
about as difficult to secure as the fish.
The baited end OF the line Is heavily
"sinkered" and IL either taken out In
boat or II the line Is short and light
thrown out by the fisherman. many OF
whom became adopts at casting them.
The other end Of the line IL securely
tied TO tree or post
The sturgeon Is not n gamey FISH by

TO handle, consideralng It's size. Had

and quickness OF the mountain trout.

The Payette Independent tells the
following: The sturgeon fishing sea-
son Is now on and the local fishermen
are always to be found on the bars a
mile west OF town, diligently using
all the arts at their command In en-.
ticing the monsters from the murky
depths. They are meeting with great
success and every few days the news
Is circulated around town Of some gil
gantic catch. while scarcely day
goes by that number OF the smaller
ones, mere "minnows" from two to
eight feet in length. do not fall a VIC
tim to their incautlous greed for the
juicy lampereel.
on Monday Jake Decor, the star
fisherman on this part OF the Snake
made the prize haul OF the season.
He caught a Ash which makes that
story about Jonah and the whale seem
entirely possible to those who viewed
II. We simply give the straight facts
when we say that this FISH measured
eleven feet and one inch In length.
Exaggeration &. not needed In the mat
ter, for even the most noble-tongued
fisherman who ever spun yarn

the figures after looking upon full
grown Snake river sturgeon they're
big enough without II.
