THE SILVER MESSENGER, on
May 21st, 1851, was established
at Challis, Custer county, Idaho.
1t was at that time a fve-coIumn
folio and continued as such until
1892, when it was enlarged to a
six-column folio. In 1894 the
entire plant was destroyed by
fire. Everything was lost save
the editors linen duster, a fish
ing rod and a case of 9-point
type, which were carried to a
place of safety. Later the type
was pied" and cases and all
knocked into Garden creek. In
one month after the tire the
MESSENGER resumed publication
with new outfit complete.
In 1896 the present owner
and publisher purchased the
plant and enlarged the MESSEN
GER to a six-column quarto. Dur
ing the % years of its publica-
ton the MESSENGER has never
failed to issue on its publication
day, except the month after the
Office was destroyed by fire.
''Challis is go miles from a
railrosd and the big cylinder
press and engine weighing near
ly 1000 pounds, was hauled by
freight teams. The MEsSENGEE
is the only paper published in
Custer county.
Editor Sweet was married tc
Mrs. Osborn in November, 1905,
acquiring the angel" along with
a splendid wife. +"

YANKEE FORK COLoRS.

The Fork is quite quiet and
has been for some weeks past.
The weather is all that could
be asked for in this country.
Nights usually way below zero,
and the days warm almost to
summer heat after the sun gets
on our side of the mountain.
The snow has settled to about
two feet. and the Custer and
Salmon River road is in fair
travelling condition, with good
sleighing the entire distance to
Mackay-so reported.
The Loon creek road is being
opened to the Yankee Fork, and
the teams and swampers are ex-
pected here in day or two.
There is said to be much freight
at Mackay destined for the Loon
country, which can readily be
got in if no new snow falls. The
Loon mail has been carried on

BEACH, n. D., Feb. 1, 'O6.
Editor Messenger -
No doubt you will be surpris-
ed to hear from a total stranger.
But knowing the friendship that
existed between you and my
husband, and knowing also that
you will be sorry, as will several
others of his western friends, /
thought 1 would write, and in
form you of his untimely and
sad death, which occurred Dec.
18th, 1905, caused by freezing to
death while coming home to his
farm in one of those North Oak
ota billiards., that the West
knows nothing of. AT the time
of his death we were living at

fund and the names of their con

harmless enough, does it not ?
Life insurance companies ought
to be in favor of it. The sym
pathies of all the distinguished

or party ought to have any rea-
son for hiding anything that the
bill wants to bring to light. Yet,
strange as it may seem, the bill
probably will never get out of
