Contractor George Smith today
turned the postoffice building over
to the painters, one day ahead of
the stipulated time, thereby earn
ing the SIS bonus offered as an in
duceement to accelerate his move
ments. It's pretty hard to beat the
Danes. like sandt, George?
When John Wsstphal and family
registered at the Evans Hotel,
that popular hosiery contained two
families whose number of daug hters
reached grand total of thirteen
seven in one and six in the 9TH
er. We respectfully call the attcn-
ton Of our auti-racc-suicide presi-
/ dent 10 this remarkable fact.
Mrs. ODE Wood is being enter
tanned this Afternoon at the home
of her daughters, Mrs. E. H.
Greene and Mrs. E. Lamphear, the
occasion being her fiftieth birthday.
G. c. Mudgett of Boise, who is
interested in land hereabouts, was
in town yesterday, and left last
night for visit to his old home at
Valley City, N. D.
r. c. McNeely came into town
a few days ago from his Blue Rock
mine on Cat Creek. He tells us
that a new ledge has been cut in
the shaft which taps the vein at
depth of 125 feet, and that
nearly 20 feet of legde has been
drifted without as yet coming in
contact with the hanging wall on
which the best ore was found in the
upper tunnel. The ore now in the
, crosscut at the bottom of the shaft
is very rich in copper as well as
running very high in gold and sill
yer. Cat Creek promises to be one
of Idaho's best and richest mining
districts, and to Mr.. McNeely's GER
tain knowledge there are many
valuable deposits in that district
which will be worked in the near
future. He has been the owner of
the Blue Rock and other mines for
fifteen years, and his many friends
here and elsewhere will be pleased
to know that his pstience and judg-
ment is at last to be fittingly re-
warded.
At the request of quite number
of people and also at the risk of
being considered impertinent Nav
erick would respectfully suggest
that the people of Mountain Home
seriously consider the practicable
ity of inaugurating an earlier hour
for the commencement Of all pub
lie and private social gatherings
and entertainments held in the
evening. The curtain at the opera
i house seldom rises before nine
O'Clock and after because everyone
feels that it is useless to be there
before then. Now, if it were an
nounced that the performance would
start promptly at 8:15 and that no
one would be seated during the
progress of an act or the rendition
of number, is it not possible
that you and everybody else would
make an effort to be in your seats
in time? One business man in
formed us that while he should
greatly dislike to deprive himself
of social recreation, yet he would
be compelled to either quit his bus
mess or cut out the parties and en-
tertsinments, as nature needs more
sleep than the present system per-
mits him to indulge in. No one
prctends to offer any valid excuse
for the existing state of affairs,
other than that it is a custom,
which by reason of long standing
it is difficult to abolish, but il
has been suggested that a little
public agitation of the subject
might do some good and gradually
and eventually bring about a much
needed reform along this line
