PREPARING FOR CHANGE.
New County Officers Ready to
Assume Duties.

Very few of the newly elected
county officers have chosen their
deputies SO far and it will probably
be sometime before complete list
OF the new working force at she
court house can be obtained. VIM.
Brown, sheriff elect, will probably
have Jno. e. Byron, of Mt. Idaho,
as an Office deputy. John z.
Green, the retiring sheriff has not
yet decided just what he will
follow after January 1st, but will
probably go to Nevada t. locate.
z. Q. Call, his Office deputy, is also
undecided as to a future occupa-
ton. h. F. Fulton, the new probate
Judge will look after the affairs OF
the office alone, for time at least
). =. Jaques, the present judge,
will engage in the practic of law
after his term expires. He will
probably have an Office in the
Alexander Ereidenrich block. Mr..
Jaques has followed the practice OF
law for several years and is assured
ora good patronage. j. l. Over
man, the present incumbent in
the clerk, recorder and auditors
ONCE Is to serve the people four
years more. He is giving the
county clean, besiness-like ad-
ministration. John V. Nash, the
assessor-elect, has not fully decid-
ed upon whom he shall use as de-
puties. l. M. Julian, the present
assessor, is also undecided as to
MS future work. Chas. Greenough,
the new superintendent of school,
Frank Rice, county treasurer, E
y. Spedden, county surveyor and
r: M. Griffith, county attorney.

ginning Of their terms. w. irwin,

The Mission Tea.

The Mission tea held by the
ladies of st. Agnes Guild, at the
lovely home of Mrs. w. N. Scales,
on Idaho avenue, was perhaps one
Of the most pleasant social events
of the season. The rooms were
appropriately decorated with red
christmas bells, Chrysanthemums
and evergreens. From 2 o'clock
until 6 o'clock the crowd was
steadily coming and going. Besides
the social part of the Tea, a goodly
sum was netted.

Sweetheart of GRObin Adair,"

robin Adair' was written by Lady
Caroline Keppel, the daughter of the
Earl of Albemarle. Robin was real
character, young Irish doctor who
had been forced by scandalous ad-
venture to leave Ireland and seek his
fortune in England. Chance threw a
rich patient in his way, lady of quail
ity, and at her house he met Lady
Caroline, and the result was case of
love at first sight ON both sides. Her
parents objected and sent her away,
and during her absence she produced
the song.

Road Overseers Elected.

The following is the result of the
road elections held in the different
road districts over the county, on
December 3rd. While the list
is not complete, all the returns
obtainable are published and others
will be made known as they are re-
ceived. Very little interest is ever
taken in the road elections and as
long as this condition exists bad
roads will be one of the county's
characteristics. 1t would be long
step in the direction of securing
better roads if the voters of each
precinct would take more interest
in the road elections and in the
roads themselves.

DEBATE-BASKET BALL
G. n. s. and Y. M G. A. Will
Battle for Championship.


Much interest has been taken
in the debate tomorrow night be-
tween the High school and Y. M.
G. A. teams. The debate is to be
held at the Armory and good
crowd is expected to attend. Ere
solved that the principles of the
Monroe doctrine should be main
tained," is the question. The af-
fair was to have been held last
week but had to be postponed for
. time. All the speakers have
spent a.great deal of time on their
speeches and sound argument,
forcibly delivered, may be looked
for. Messrs. Seneca Munro,
Zaneis Parsons, Keith Fem and
Ralph Williams will constitute the
high school team and affirmative
side. For the Y. M. G. A., Bea-
witt Sanderson, G. S. Hanna and
Wayne Arnold will be the debaters.
Messrs. Williams, of the high
school, and Hanna of the Y M. G..
A., have debated considerable,
but the others are practically max
ing their FIRST effort as public de-
baters.
G. n. Nngent, NJ r. Hattabaugh
and r. 81. Loveless will be the
judges Of the debate.
The same night at the Armory
the second game Of the series of
three, between the Y. M. G. A..
and G. II. S. basket ball teams,
will be played. The first game
was played few weeks ago and
resulted in victory for the High
School, by a score of 30 TO IA.
Heretofore, all games have been
played in the gymnasium, which
is smaller than the official rules
require. The Armory will give
plenty of room for the players and
spectators and rattling good game
should be put up. Fisher, Will
liams, Davis, Arnold and Monlux
will battle for the high school s
honors. The Y. NJ. G. A. team
will be made up of Schmadeka
Taylor, Hanna, Crawford and
Kilen. Sempert may be able to
play with the gym team.

The youngest bride who was ever
led to the altar in England, SO far as
we can discover, was little Catherine
Apsley, who had only seen four sum-
mers when she became the wife of the
first Earl Bathurst, who was exactly
double her age. The tiny ring worn
by Catherine on this occasion, over
two centuries agp, is still preserved.

1t is claimed that the cut was made
by the Hill system for the purpose OF
securing shipments by the way of Du-
luth which otherwise might go by the
way of Chicago.
This cut upon the part of the Great
Northern has been received with no
degree of satisfaction by the business
interests of Chicago and the CONNER
cial association of that city has taken
steps to induce the railroads terminal.
ing in that city to meet the reduction.
For many years the rates from Chi
cago and Duluth to western and nor.
thwestern points have been on the
same basis and the Chicago associa-
ton claims that there has been no
change in the commercial situation
warranting such a change in the rates.
The Chicago interests make the
claim that the Great Northern took
advantage of a recent order of the
Minnesota railway commission com
polling railroads in that state to make
certain reductions in freight rates
within the state, and that it arbitrarily
made the cut on all classes of freight
from Duluth to Sioux City and the
Northwest.

The new rate will be in effect De.
cember IL, in accordance to the new

= reduction on class rates to all points

HIGH SCHOOL WINS.
Defeats Lewistown Cardinals
Thanksgiving Football Game.

IUdUNS8lVUS VOVtUdI' 0o'HC'
The high school eleven met and de.
feated the LewistOwn Cardinals on
the gridiron yesterday afternoon, the
score standing II to .. 1t was
smashing game, and although played
under very adverse conditions, the
ground being covered with hard, I'M
even cruise of snow, while bite;
wind prevailed, it was fast and proved
very interesting to the few who were
able to follow the plays. The teams
played under the old rules, and there
was very little to the game except
mass plays. In the first half Briggs,
by brilliant run around the end,
carried the ball back of the goal and
scored the first touchdown. There
were two more runs during the half,
but they did not amount to much. In
the second half Baker made fine run
and scored the second touch down for
the high school, and goal was kicked
The gains by the students, except
for these runs, were made. for the
most part, by old fashioned line buck
ing although they held them well,
and but for the runs there would
have been no score. The high school
Grover Gideon, late of Chicago, who
went into every play like whirlwina,
and Don Waite, late of Andover.
The Cardinals seemed to be less
adroit on the whole. in passing the
ball, but they played a very strong
game all the way through. Wilbur
Hoffman made two fine runs, and
Beatty and Campbell distinguished
themselves throughout.
The contest was rough one from
beginning to end and toward the close
of the second half this was carried I
