A Halloween Party.

The most enjoyable time that
ever took place in the city, was the
Halloween party given by the
school girls, last Saturday evening
in the Kent hall. The hall was
decorated for the occasion.
There were about thirty girls
for Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Laschinger
to take care of, but it was no use
to try-and- bunch. Mrs.
Laschinger made different kinds OF
candy and at eleven o'clock, pre-
pared a fine lunch with nothing
missing. Games, were played but
dancing was in the lead. owing to
the good floor. At twelve they al
departed, 80 tired that they could
hardly reach their homes. The
girls owe Mr.. Kent many thanks
for the use of his hall.

LAND DRAWING AT MEDBURY

and scenic drive. The streets or
drives have been laid out on every
40 acre line and the entire tract
looks like the plan of great city.
The company is making prepare
ton to plant trees the entire length
of the boulevard and along all the
principal streets.
The selling plan devised on the
acreage tracts is attracting wide
spead attention. Every lot is offered
at exactly the same price $1,000 of
which payment of $210 will be
required at the time of filing. The
tracts will be put up at public
drawing and the com pany refuses
to allow single tract to be sold
until after the drawing thus givin G
every one who attends the opening
an equal chance to secure one OF
the choicest of the tracts.
The interest in the Carey Act
drawing Is said to be greater than
any opening yet held in Idaho.
The small acreage of public lands
and the high character of soil &C
counts for~the great interest. Set.
tiers who filed on the tract before
Carey segregation was applied To-
and who have preference rights FOL
some of the land under the project
have sold their rights for liberia
bonuses in a mum Der of the same
character as the lands sold.

Town lots and Acreage tracts will
be held at Medbury Nov. Is TIL
registration books will be opened
Nov. II. Only those who regsite
previous to the opening will b'
allowed TO participate in the draw

HAVE WORKED HAIR n

Strenuous efforts have been put
forward to raise this mount, and
with such success that $3.50 has
been guaranteed. AS is usual the
last few hundreds proved the in
surmountable obstacle to immediate
operations.
This matter has been source of
constant care to the governor, who
has expressed himself on many oc-
casions as most DESTROYS that the
fund should be early completed
that the little unfortunates, who
are dependent upon the state might
have every care and attention pos
sible.
The subject was evidently So
much in the thoughts of the exc
cutive that be could not reconcile
the idea of leaving the city again
without having it definitely settled
and in consequence his generosity
in guaranteeing the $500 necess-
airy to complete the fund to be
raised by the people.
1t will be remembered that the
governor was one of the first to
come forward with a substantial
donation to this public fund ano
the guarantee of the deficit comes
as most agreeable susprise. Sta

Opium Cans Unearthed.

Tuesday afternoon, j. w. Stuart
while charging E. L. Little & Co.'S.
cellar unearth what he at first sup.
posed to be buried treasure but
which turned out to be box con-
tanning about one thousand empty
opium cans.
The ones to whom he first shou-
ed his supposed treasure could not
tell him what the cans had con-
tanned but when he ran across one
of onr local Chineman he was not
in doubt. The present sight of e
l.. Little & Co.'S store about fifteen
years ago was occupied by Chink
Joint and at this time there was
considerable opium smuggling ear
ried on in this section. The SUPPOSE
ton is that the opium was brought
here by these old smugglers and as
the opium was disposed of the cans
were put in box and buried
where Mr.. Stuart found them.
The old trail from Wardner, BIC
down the Yahk river thence by
boat to Bonners Ferry was one Of
the favorite routes taken by the
smugglers and some of the ole
timers around Jinnings, Mont. anC
vicinity can tell some very interest
ing smuggling stories if one cal
induce them to talk on the subject

Monday Nov. 16---In the Snake
River Country.

Glenns Ferry, Oct. 2.-The first
three miles of the ditch of the
KingsHill Extention Irrigation Co..
Ltd, was completed yesterday and
the large contracting forces of the
Slick Bros. Construction Co. have
been moved to the next station
down the river. Since the contract
for the construction was definitely
awarded to Slick Bros. the work
has been crowded as rapidly as pos
sible and it is now said by the mem
bers of the company that water will
be running through the bitches at
least month earlier than was ex-
pected. Several sub contractors
have arrived to take up work on
portions of the main canal and
within another two weeks construc-
ton work will be going on at nearly
every point of the ditch. The con-
tract has also been awarded for the
lumber for the fumes and pipes,
and the Minneapolis Bridge Com
pany have been given the contract
for the bridge across Snake River
which will carry the large syphon
and this company is under contract
to have the structure complete early
in the spring.
The forces of the King Hill Co
have been confined for the last week
to preparations for the opening
November 16. The townsite is now
laid out, and the acreage tracts ad
joining the town are divided int
blocks. Work has been started
grading and preparing the River

and this fact, completed with the
generosity of the governor in qua.
