their baggage. The recent storms have
blocked the rOIls with snow and from
all accounts 1t Is almost impossible for

fully two hundred men are blocked on
the Idaho route.
Now that Il suit has been begun TO
test the constitutionllity Of the primary

If il were not for the fear of detection

to more respect than he.
The youngsters Of the public school
the closing Of the old school
house Saturday night with n dance.
They kept up the fun until IL o'clock,
when all went homo satisfied with
themselves and the good time they had
had. As many of the parents supposed
that Prof. McWhinncy had the dance in
hand and would be there to look after
the young people, he wishes us to state
that he knew nothing about it until
Sunday forenoon when Mr.. sFriedhOtt
told him about 1t. Tho dance was
without Mr.. McWhinnoy's knowledge
