One evidence of our rapid growth is
the development of the telephone ser

for many more.

recently installed another chair over

though it is the best country on earth,
does get dusty in dry weather. BY the
way if Shoshone has any more young
fellows like these who are on the look
out for a new location jerome will
gladly welcome them.
