INTEREST IN BOND ISSUE.
Bingham Will Vote for or Against
School Bonds on Next
Wednesday.

Bingham April PA great deal of in
terest is being manifested by the local
taxpayers over the proposed bond issue
of $4,000. which will be voted on next
Wednesday. The trustees of the Jordan
school district have asked for this issue
in order that a suitable school building
may be erected in Upper Bingham to take
the place of the present ramshackie build
ing and also to construct an outbuildinS
al the Central school TO eliminate any
danger of fire.
The Necessity of both Of these pro-
posed improvements are very apparent,
and most of the taxpayers are of the
opinion that the best way to secure the
same is to vote the bond issue. According
to the statement of the board the Jor-
dan district is in good condition as far
as finances are concerned. and it will be
but a short time until these bonds will
be taken up.
A large vote is expected to be cast at
the Central school on Wednesday. and
Trustee Countryman. who has tried to
secure better school facilities in Bling
nam, is hopeful that the taxpayers win
aid him in securing the necessary i'm
prOVements.

A snow storm. which assumed the pro-
portions of young blizzard, greeted the
people of Bingham this morning when
they arose. The storm lasted for several
hours blowing and drifting like a Feb

And she sets out tiptop spread laugh

The day set for the picnic dawned clear and
sunny, and we started for the grove at about
nine o'clock
Miss Judah had engaged picnic wagon or
"barge," as some called it. 1t was drawn by
four horses, and was large enough for twenty
four to ride in with comfort, and there were
just that many in it. Old Grill trotted along
behind, chased and barked at by every dog
that we met.
His mistress would snap her fingers at him
old fellow! Nice old doggie!"
The grove was four miles from-the town,
near the bank of pretty little river that was
hardly more than large creek.
1t was great picnic resort, the boys liking
it particularly because there was such splen-
did swimming hole' in the little stream at a
secluded place about half mile from the pic
mic grounds
Bruce and had said on our way out to the
| grove that we intended having a good old
swim" before the day was done, and that the
| girls would have to excuse us long enough
| for us to enjoy that pleasure.
| Miss Judah had been extremely pleasant and
cordial all the way out to the grove, and, after
we reached it and Bruce and had put up
couple of swings and hung two or three ham
mocks, and done several other things for the
comfort of the party, Miss Judah said
'sNow, boys, if you want to have a swim

No danger of that" replied, "for we are
as hungry as bears now"
"Well, you'd better eat some sandwiches be
fore you go, then" said Miss Judah, kindly;
and she brought some to us herself.
Then we set out for the swimming hole. 1t
was a pretty spot, with one bank low and
grassy and the other high and steep, making
splendid place from which to dive.
Great elm trees overhung the spot and the
water was clear and pleasantly warm.
We were both good swimmers, and we prom
sed ourselves great treat as we ran lightly
along.
1t did not take us but a moment or two to
get out of our clothes and into the water,
which we entered with a plunge and yell,
in regular. boyish fashion.
We struck out swiftly for the opposite bank
to dive from the bluff, and enjoyed this pleas
ure for while, staying under water so long
that it wonder we did not burst blood
vessel in our efforts to stay under longer.
Then we swan down the stream for several
hundred yards, where it was sunny and where
there was little waterfall, made by an old
dam
We rolled over this dam and spluttered
around here until Bruce said it must be time
for us to dress and go back to the girls
We swan back to the swimming hole and

But he simply redoubled his speed, and was

But he didn't come, and l growled:

He had sneaking, malicious look in his

Wool Growers

House m this city. here was good attendance from all over the northern part ofthe territory as the creation of the TOntO and Verde National Forest, and pro- posed exclusion of sheep from these areas during the winter months has stirred them up thor oughlv. Ifsome favorable action IS not secured they believe the most of them will be compelled to quit the business. The discus sion of this problem was the one thing most important brought up at the meeting. Letters were read from the Forest Service in answer to a protest forwarded the Forester some time ago, in which there was found little or no comfort for sheep interests.
 Mir. Gosney, in his remarks stated that a full statement of actual conditions, including mat ters for and against the wool growing industry, should be giv- en the investigating committee sent out by the government; that persistent efforts should be made to put them in possession of the facts in the case as we'll as to eradicate the prejudice that had grown up among those not con- versant with the facts.

FARMER WRITES TO BRYAN.

A farmer in Illinois wrote the fol-

cratic appeal for campaign contribu-
tons. 1t was sent to the presidential
candidate and gives fair impression
of the idea the agriculturists hold of
democracy's record and methods:

my Dear Sir-As farmer, in my
reply to your request that the farmer

thing as your speech accepting your
nomination shows that, as President,
you could not accomplish anything
You say that, if elected, you will only
serve four years, and that promptly
after your term begins you will call
Congress in extra session, so that you
can begin to reform the abuses at once.
But, as you say, nothing can be done

Senate cannot possibly change in less
than four years, if them
