Better Haul Wood.

The following letter explains itself and
the coal situation at Blackfoot so far as
we are depending on Damondville COAL
Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. 18th, O5.
Mr.. w. +. Martin,
Blackfoot, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-I have your message of
this date and sincerely regret to inform
you that we are out of the commercial
market for the time being. On the lst.
inst an explosion occurred in our No. !
mine resulting in the death of eighteen
men. The damage to the mine is slight,
and fortunately we have encountered no
fire, but until such time as all the bodies
are brought to the surface this mine
will be out of commission. In the mean
time all the coal mined at No. 2 and No.
4 will be demanded by the Montana
smelters to prevent the closing down of
their works.
1t is certain that we will not be able to
give you any coal until after the first of
the year. Yours very truly,
O. H. Brown.

from reducing the purchase price enough
to enable him to pay for thorough in
spection of the goods being loaded. 1t

the dealers and mining men of Central
Idaho and say, Buy produce of any man
on this list, and if he does not give you

struction department of railroads and
extend similar protection to get their
trade. 1t will go to the reliable farmer

sists on selling rocks in his oat sacks and
puts little potatoes among the good ones
will be black listed in the whole market
till an honest man takes his place and
the community is rid of scamp. 1t
will black list he professional beat and
enable the merchant to sell on closer
margins to the honest man. These are
some of the ways in which the CONNER
cial club will help the merchant and the
farmer at the same time. 1t will do
other good things. For instance, the lr-
rigation Congress will pass through here
next June on tour of inspection. Black
foot is an important place. 1t has a
great future and deserves place in the
minds of the thousand delegates who
will come to see and write about what
they see. If we have no organization to
handle the excursion when it comes,
they will probably stop here just long
enough to light cigar. But suppose
we have an active body to do things.

"Fall plowlng and irrigation ought to

Everybody is directly interested in the
rabbit question, and that ought to occu-
py twenty minutes anyway. A twenty
minute discussion, if they talk fast and
say what they mean, may seal the fate
of lots of bunnies. In the matter of a

Our City Park.

About ten years ago syndicate com
posed of local men who had tract of
land in the Elmwood Addition. offered to
donate block to some local organiza-
tion if they would develop public park.
The VIC. Il. U. accepted the offer
and assumed the task. The deed provi-
ed that certain improvements should be
made and maintained, and failure to
keep it developing for park should
cause it to re evert again to the syndicate.
The ladies had it fenced, plowed, plan
ted to trees and cared for for several
years, but at present it is in the hands
of the syndicate. The residence of
Bishop Hess is located in the once es-
tablished park, and lots for other resi-
dences are now for sale.
Whether it reverted to the syndicate
through the inability of the W. G. T. U.
to meet the expense of maintaining it, or
through the Indifference of the people,
or the desire of the members of the syn
dicate to regain the property when the
park idea was being neglected and pro-
perty was advancing in value, or from
all these causes, the fact remains that
when tae community had some $25OO00
worth of park which it had acquired
through the generous donation and sac
rifice of individuals, it was allowed to
pass into private hands, and even the
Older residents passing that block scarce
ly remember that it was ever laid out for

Series of MisfOrtunes.

During the past few months Mr.. John
Girard of this place has been the victim
of series of sad misfortunes, which cul-
minated last Thursday morning in the
wreck of the passenger train on which
he was travelling with the remains of his
wife, which were buried in mass of
wreckage and burned.
The accident happened at Wilkins,
Wyoming, near Green River; it being a
head-on collision with freight train.
The freight engineer had orders to side
track for four passenger trains, but pro-
badly counted wrong, for he took the
main line after the third one passed.
Eleven men of the train crews were killed
and most of them were burned in the
wreckage, which took fire Immediately
after the collision. Several passengers
were injured, but none very seriously.
Mrs. Girard was taken i'll early in the
summer and while on the way to Salt
Lake for treatment she had to be taken
off the train at Ross Fork. Early in Sep
tember she was brought home, but died
after long period of suffering. Arrange
ments were made to take the remains
back to be inferred near the parental
home in Canada, when the accident
occurred with the results as above
stated

ity go out to Mr.. Grard in his trials,

a blaze spreading along the cloth-lined
partition nearly to the ceiling. He had
it under control in few minutes, and
thus prevented the hasty opening of

scended to the track and entered
the race herself, with a deter
mination to win, conditions have
changed, and she is now regarded
as another competitor, and the
bachelor man will continue to
crave the applause that comes
from the old maid corner of the
grandstand.
So trite is the observation it has
become an axiom that the talented
man loves the timid, trusting little
maiden in whose estimation he is
an oracle. and the bachelor girl's
boast that she fears not a squeak
ing mouse, a bucking broncho,
nor the cold, cold world, will put
a man of timidity, or of pacific
disposition, to flight every time.
Obviously she has lessened her
chance of marrying her ideal, and
being a, woman, after all, she
hopes to find her mate sometime,
somewhere. Would it not be we'll
for her to "cut out" this bache-
lor girl fad and be that which
nature intended her to be? But
if she will persist in her strenuous
course, then look out, for the old
maid man, for nature will surely
keep her accounts balanced. Ru-

be. he will certainly make his pres
ence known ere long if the bache-

When fair Cuba was struggling,
for freedom; when she was being
tramplcd under the foot Of a des-

bread which could not be honest
ly earned because of oppressive
conditions, America dried her
tears occasioned by sectional diff

states were reunited with bonds
