Good reports come from the
new Parker mill since it was put
in operation week ago. 1t is
turning out fine looking gold
amalgam at a good rate, but as
their new gasolene furnace is

were hardly more than lighted

the house. 1t was a large gath
ering of the people who know
the young people best and their

We have reached an agree
ment with the Mackay Miner in
the matter of the publication OF
water proof notices from the
State Engineer. We have raised
our price for such notices from
500 to $1,000. The Miner has
cut said notices from $3.50 to
S10.OO-thereby making a uni
form price.
Mrs. Buster has just received
one of the finest lines of millin-

strictly up-to-date and the prices
reasonable. Call and examine

If you want to vote next Nov

The tax levy of Lemhi county
this year is $3.50, while the tax
levy of Custer county is only
$3.50. Yet Lemhi with all hel
Indebtedness and higher levy
shows enterprise enough to cal
for voting $4,000 bonds to build
a court house. The people Of
that county will vote on the
proposition Nov. 3rd. The Com,
missioners down there say that
in few years that they can save
enough in rent to pay for the
building. Should the people
vote the bonds, that would leave
Custer the only county in the
State without a decent court
house and jail. Yet Custer is
great better off financially than

out of debt, ewing to the able

cratic officials within the past
few years. This year they cut
the levy from $3.7O last year to
$3.50 this year-20 cents-and
could have cut it to $500 but for
the State reducing our valuation
over S24, 900, and then the coun-
ty has a big bond to meet this
year which will nearly wipe out
our Indebtedness. Now what
are the Commissioners of Custer
county going to do about build
ing a court house for Custer
county ? 1t is time that the
people knew whether they will
allow the proposition to be sub
mitted to the voters or not.
There is not a man, woman OF
