And turn with peace one who hears

The Ger mans you see prevent it. Look at them. They have just invented method of making brandy out of saw dust. Now what chance can prohibition have when a man can take a rip saw and go out and get drunk with fence rail!

The Bennett-Varley card party In
the |. o. o. +. hall was very pretty
affair given early in the month. The
| hall was decorated with carnations
and made home like with cushioned
cosy corners and chatty looking seats
for those not taking part in the game
of five hundred. Over sixty invita-
lions were issued, nearly all respond
! ing. There were fourteen tables of
enthusiastic players with Mrs. Karl

The iirst gentleman's trophy which
proved to be a useful pair of gold

second prizes were large boQuets of
carnations aud were carried away
by Mrs. Hoover and Mr.. Arthur. De-
licious refreshments OF creamed
chicken salad, hot biscuits, ice cream,
cake and coffee were served. Miss
Benton rendered sweet piano airs
during the evening.
A jolly little gathering that might
= be called neighborhood tea party
was given at the home Of Mrs. d.
r. Jones in honor of Mrs. Marley,
who is expecting shortly to start on a
trip east. There we're twelve partici-
pants, each one bringing dainty
contribution toward the nicely served
tea. The large living room of the
Jones house was decorated in carna-
ton, with large bunch presented to
the guest of honor. The neighborhood

$4,000 ACRE PROJECT ON LITTLE
LOST RIVER.
Settlers Taking up Land Under the
Company Canals and Every
thing Indicates Success.

Ben e. Hervey, president and man
ager Of the Spokane-Idaho Irrigation
and Power company, whose project
embraces the reclamation of about
$4,000 acres of sage brush land on
Little Lost River, states that his COM
pany has let a contract to e. X. Tay-
lor for the construction of the sys-
tenn of reservoirs and canals, neces-
sary for the reclamation of the land
and that work on the same has been
started. Mr.. Taylor's contract Is to
be completed within two years.
Most of the land to be thus re-
claimed is situated in Custer coun-
ty, laying we'll to the head of Little
Lost river. Already 3,140 acres have
been filed on under the canals of the
company and other filings are being
made daily. Mr.. Hervey informs us
that they will have water this year
for over 5000 acres of the tract and
by next summer there will be ample
water for the whole project.
With the completion of this pro-
ject the waters of Little Lost river
will be well used up in the reclama-
ton Of the fine land that lays along
that stream and another valley of
Idaho, instead Of having a rancher
here and there, will be peopled as 1t
should be, with continuous stretch
of farms.
Mr.. Hervey had little trouble in in
teresting sufficient capital to go in
with him on this project and his sue
cess in this line Of business means
that the rich tract and the water to
reclaim 1t fell in good hands when he
took hold Of the task of brigning the
combinations together for the better
ment Of Idaho, some homeless peo-
pie some place, and his company.

number of property owners have
taken down ther fences, adding great.

1t will now be in order for us to

and the habit Of going around corners

a very easy one to form.
