selves we'll satisfied with the manner in
which everything about the place was

it shows able management and con-

cally arranged, SO we can check up
rapidly; correspondence is tabulated so
we can go thru it quickly if we wish to
read up on any matter, and notations
are made of each matter to be referred

The cherry crop this year is abundant
and hundreds of quarts are being canned
for future use. The orchard has been
SPRAYED three times, and no worms have

we'll cultivated and the trees are in
thrifty condition.
A new picket fence has been built in
front of the orchard, and the front gate

Mrs. Bennett Entertains.

Mrs. Harry Bennett had bonnet
party on Friday afternoon at which she
entertained about forty invited guests.
The main feature of the occasion was
that each guest had to make bonnet.
Each one was given sheet OF black
paper, thimble, scissors, needle and
thread and was told to make bonnet.
Immediately the materials began to
take form and many pretty bonnets
were made. Mrs. A. Chamberlaine was
first to finish, and Mrs John Brown was
second Others followed, and each one
wore her own product in a grand
march, during which the judges passed
opinions on the work. In this it was a
"hung jury" and the matter had to be
referred to vote of the house, which
resulted IN Mrs. F. T. Richards receiv.
ing first prize and Mrs. L. R. Aldrich
second.

ceedings, and was followed by dainty

Printing House Leaves Town.

The Southern Idaho Mail suspended
publication this week and is moving
to Pocatello. 1t is nine years and nine
weeks old andhas sailed under three
different managers within the past year.
Editor Peck is acting on an invtata-
ton from clizens of Pocatello, and
from The Gate City will endeavor to
make his paper power in the state.
This is the second newspaper to leave
Blackfoot, the Idaho Register having
left here for Idaho Falls in 1884. The
Idaho Recorder, the Blackfoot News,
The Iconoclast and The Bingham Coun-
ty Democrat all ran their race and quit
and it remains for The Idaho Republi-
can to follow suit or make good on what
we published in the first issue, of being
the peoples own paper, to continue as
long as do the public schools.
The Republican was established three
years ago this week, in the teeth Of
many difficulties, and this year we have
succeeded in arranging a "blanket sec
urity" for all the subscribers who pay
in advance.
We have taken warning from other
failures, and are changing this year to
the pay-in. advance plan, and the pat
rons of the paper seem as favorable to
the plan as ourselves, for they are am
ply secured and when people pay in ad-
vance they are entitled to security.
In carrying out the cash policy excep'
tion is made for cases of crop failure or
other misfortune.
