TO rnE COUNTY OF AususrA

There once was gang from Agus-
tab,
They shook OFF the Warrington
dustah
From the soles OF their feet.
And they won the first heat
BY reaching the capital fustah.
They worked in the lobby with
GUSTAV.
They swore they would win out
or bustah,
They made big show,
For they spent lots of dough
We from an Augusta trustah.
Three counties behcld 1t and Gus
tab,
From their sabers they rubbed off
the rustah;
For all of them saw
II was breaking the law
To create the new county Augusta.
So now they are scrapping with
blustah,
It's hard to tell who'll get the wus-
tab,
But the bulk of the dough
Will be likely to go
To the head of the Augusta trustah.

II was ill they were opened up. Good

Prof. Leroy s. Bueklew, and the play wen,
eff promptly with no delay OF hitch of any

Miss Kelsey's Triumph.

Las Fridays Statesman records
the triumphant appearance before
a critical Boise audience of one of
Mountain Homes best known vo-
calists-Miss Altha Kelsey. The
occasion was at the gathering of the
Mystic Shriners Thursday after
noon, and this is what the Srates-
man he'd to say of Miss Kelsey:
During the afternoon the ceremo-
nial session of the temple was held
in the hall of the house of represen-
tatives. In the evening grand
ball was given at Christensen's
hall. 1t was a beautiful party and
nrNch enjoyed by all present. The
dancing was interspersed with mu-
sic and other features. Miss Kelsey
of Mountain Home delighted the
assembled guests of the evening
with a vocal solo, responding to an
encore It was Miss Kelsey's intro
duction to Boise audience and she
scored distinct triumph. She has
a rich voice that has been carefully
trained and her singing is very
effective.

Mountain Home Victors

AS the last Bulletin prophesied
with reference to one of Mountain
Homes fair competitors at the state
fair, so it happened-only more SO.
At the time The Bulletin was not
aware that Mrs. Rosenheim and
Mrs. W. D. Reynolds were in the
race, but had it known, it is pro-
bable it's forecast would have been
just as the event proved, and they
would probably have known that
prizes were to be awarded them.
Mrs. Purtill gathered in five pre-
miums-four firsts and one second,
and the second would have been a
first had the completed work been
displayed, but unfortunately. it
was not. The articles so success
fully exhibited by Mrs. Purtill were:
Crocheted skirt; center piece, Bat
tenburg; center piece, lace; lace
collar; sofa pillow, all of which
took first prize except the batten-
burg center piece, only one dolly OF
this set being completed. The lace
collar, which attracted SO many
admiring eyes and comments, was
sold to Kansas City gentleman
for $40, but had Mrs. Purtill only
waited 20 minutes longer an offer
of $75 would probably have been
made.
Mrs. Reynolds was awarded Sec
ond premium on six beautifully
embroidered doilies.
Mrs. Albert Rosenheim took first
premiums on both Berlin work and
Afghan lace.

SKELETON CREEK
Skeleton Creek, Oct. 20.


Beautiful weather here now and
but very little snow on the north
hillsides.
Indian summer in earnest and
like June weather, a fine time for
development work and prospecting
in general.
R. T. Dixon of the Snodgrass
company and Mr.. Moore Of Wash
ington were here on prospecting
and mining trip recently and made
two locations on Willow creek.
These gentlemen expect to CON-
mence work in the early spring on
an extensive scale.
W. Scott Anderson, Ben Puzey
and Cal Durham have made one Of
the best discoveries in the district.
Late this season they discovered a
ledge, about three miles below Chat
tin & Helms group of claims, on
the north side of Bear creek. The
rock, which is characteristic of the
Frazer and Chattin groups, is high
grade concentrating ore and on two
different tests yielded $1182 and
$12O5.
