This is November l, and the day is
clear, cold and bright. In this part OF
Idaho we have enjoyed during October
most remarkably fine weather, on an
average almost as warm as the month
of May, and without single storm, ex.

rain fell in the valleys and the tops ol

of which will greatly depend upon th,
