MANY ATTEND BOX SOCIAL
Delightful Evening At Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Jones, Raymond's Neck.

Despite the inclement weather,
which prevailed on Tuesday evening
of last week, the box social for the
benefit of Severson's Church, which
was heli at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard Jones, in Raymond
Neck, was a decided success, both
financially and socially. Many of
the packages were artistically decor
ated, notably the hollow pumpkin
presented by Mrs. George Mattiford,
the basket by Mrs. Matt Ford and
the box by Miss Anita Joes. AS, to
the contents of those packages we'll,
allow me to inform you dear reader
that the farmers wives and daugh-
ters in this locality undoubtedly know
how to reach the heart, also the
pocketbook, of man. The bidding
was fast and furious, particularly
by the married men, who displayed a
decided preference for the lunch pre-
pared by their own wives. Joseph
Robinson, Jr., succeeded in securing
the only "booby p" prize offered, a
pair of misft gloves, and was con-
sequently the recipient of many gibes,
to which he very philosophically re-
piled that he was not hungry and he
preferred warm hands to indigestion
anyhow. The amount of cash realiz-
ed under Mr.. Matt Ford's auction
eership, was SIS. so, and the sale of
ice cream and cake swelled the net
receipts to about S22 90 but the
amount of pleasure enjoyed by those
present is incalculable. Suffice it to
say that from the time of entering
the gate where we were greeted by
Mr.. Jones' major domo with his
hustling "Eben sab, hitch yo' boss
right yah, boss" " seconded by the
hosts hearty greeting, till the last
good night was said, the house was a
veritable incubator of mirth and mer-
riment. Each and everyone of the
seventy-three guests brought a good
time with them and it would have
required something more painful than
tight shoes to prevent anyone of them
from enjoying themelves. Miss
Baxter, Miss May Vaughn and Miss
Anita Jones, rendered several selec-
tiOns on the pinao, accompanied by
Mr.. Ralph Robinson on the cornet anc
members of the choir sang several
appropriate hymns. AS the guests
departed about about H. 80 many OF
them expressed a desire for an oyster
supper in the near future and they
will have one, too. E. w.

Road for Salmon City.

The contract for the grading has
been let for the road to extend from
Armstead, Montana, to Salmon City,
Idaho. The work will commence at
once and been awarded to Macarthur
Bros. of Portland. Salmon City,
which is located in our neighboring
county of Lemhi, has been like Grange
Vile, withonut railroad for years
and with steam transportation the
country should come to the front.
Attorneys for the road have been
instructed to close up all right of way
contracts at once in order that con-
struction work may commence as soon
as possible. The road will be 12O
miles long and will open rich agri-
cultural and mining section Of Idaho
now without railroad facilities.
1t is rumored in railroad circles
that this is part of a link in a trans
continental line which will follow the
Salmon river through Idaho county
and then on to the coast. We hope
so.
