From letter received in Challis
last week from Thunder Mountain. we
learn that the mail service to that dis
triet is nearly as bad as that of Custer
county. at Thunder they received no
mail from November 10th to Novemb-
er 2sth. Supplies out there are rather
high. Flour is selling at sl6.oo per
hundred; bacon, 80 cents per pound;
beef steak Is to 20 cents per pound;
powder, 40 cents per pound.
Hon. 2. D. Moss, of Billings, and
other railroad promoters arrived in

to bidding on the grading for his firm.
Winters, Parsons & Boomer. the heav-
lest contractors of such work in the
northwest. He says aside from the
tunnel work, the building of the road
will not be difieult.-Salmon Recorder.
When you get catalogue from q
big mail order house, just look it over
and see what they viii pay fo= your
prod uee; also investigate and see what
their terms of credit are in case you do
not have the ready cash: see how much
they will give towards the school, the
church and the poor. After you have
done this and received a reply see If
your home merchant won't do as well.
The above is sound logic, but how
about the home merchants who send
out for their letter heads, bill heads
aud envelopes
