turned from the Memorial SER

decorate the room with strea mers of
hearts. These radiated from the
center of the ceiling to the corners
and sides, producing a unique and
very pretty effect.

SMITHS PRAIRIE, Idaho, Febru-
ary 17.-As a result Of the petition
from residents of Smiths Prairie
a postoffice has been established,
temporarily, at Lenox, Theodore

found to be satisfactory, Mr.. Pierce
will open the new Office and enter
upon the discharge of his duties.
This will be convenience great
ly appreciated by the people of
the Prairie, as, under the new or

twice a week. For some time past
they have had outside communica-

1t has not yet been decided
whether the route will be establish
ed via Thurman or Trinity. The
latter is preferred, as it would benz
eft greater number of people.

bountiful supply of fuel.
The past winter has been almost
continuously cold, without thaw.
From indications we will have an
ample water supply the coming
summer. Stock, in a general way,
is doing fairly well. Feed has
been sufficient, 80 far, but there
are some who fear shortage of hay
if the prevailing cold, dry winter
weather continues much longer.
