The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1908-05-28

W. II. Trafford, former principal OF
the city schools, leaves this morning
for Los Angeles, California and may
make an extended trip through the
coast states. We understand he is
undecided what he will do In the
future or where he will locate. Mr..
TraEord is very much Of gentleman
and has made many friends here In
the past nine months, who regret
very much to see him leave.
A program has been arranged for
the obser vance OF Decoration Day.
How elaborate the program Is TO be
The Recorder is unable to say as we
have been unable 10 secure 1t for
publication. In general way we
can say that the program VIII be CIV
en- at their hall at o'clock, when
they will 20 out to the cemetery to
decorate the graves following the
services.
Messrs. McFrederick & Bradshaw,
Of Gibbonsville, were attending to
business matters here the two first
DAYS OF the week. These gentlemen
are engaged in the lumber business
In the lower country. They state
that they have bad an exceptional
good business in the sale Of lumber
so far this year. In fact their sales
have been equal TO their ability in
production.
The new bell for the Presbyterian
church was placed in the belfry the
last OF the week and its clear tones
called the worshippers together Sun
day morning for the first time. The
bell Is a clear and beautiful tone, and
can be heard for a considerable dis
lance. The EndeavOrers. who raised
the funds for the purchase have every
reason to feel proud of their invest
ment.
The Mackey family received tele-
gam Monday announcing the SAD
news that their brother Dan was
Generously injured by desperate in
some part OF Washington. When he
was shot he was in the line OF his
duty as deputy sheriff. Many here
remember Dan Mackey, as he was
foreman of the Shenon ranch some
years ago. Later Received tele-
gram saying come at once, he cannot
live.
| For reasons not necessary to men,
tion there will be change in the
services at the Presbyterian church
for next Sabbath. In place Of hold
ing Children Day services in the
evening, as has been announced they
will be held in the morning at IL
O'Clock in place OF the preaching
service. Rev. Waite will preach in
the evening at the regular hour,
which will close his work at this
place.
Mel York, the miner who has been
sick for several weeks in one Of the
buildings in the rear Of A. A.
Smiths saloon died Saturday morn
ing. The cause of death was cancer
of the stomach. Tie burial took
place the same afternoon from Patti
sons undertaking establishment.
The deceased has been a resident Of
the mining district around Salmon
for number of years but very little
is known of his life or early history.
He was single man with no relatives
in this section of the country.
Dan Fry was in from over the hill
for a couple of days the first of the
week. Mr.. Fry took exceptions to a
communication some months ago
from Leesburg, relative to the condi-
tion of the roads over the hill. The
Recorder does not believe the cores
pendent had reference to the work
done by Mr.. Fry while he was road
supervisor, as it Is generally conced-
ed that the roads were in excellent
condition, and that he made many
changes for their betterment. The
correspondent suggested the idea of
spending the county money on these
roads In the spring while the snow
was melting. The contention that IA
man patrol the roads during the
worst periods Of the year was a good
suggestion and would be great saw
ing to the county. Most OF the year
one man can look after the roads for
the entire district, but in the early
spring two or three men are required
to keep eight or ten miles Of the road
In good shape. a
