HAPPENINGS

Marcus White is III from Twilight gulCh
and reports all hands busy getting out
rich ore and consequently happy.
Look over the ads in your paper and
see what merchants want your trade
Don't annoy any one who don't wish you
to bother him.

if they find one that suits them.

kins Island and accommodating the trav-
elers on their way to and from the mines

who will leave in day or two for their
home in Maine, visiting for short time

An epidemic of LaGrippe is prevailing
in this community and many are suffer-
ing from the effects of this disease. A
good dose of whiskey and quinine gener-
ally brings the patient out all 0. X. But
don't mix the quinine in the whiskey
but take it separately, as one might re-
cover before using all the whiskey and
then how hard it will be to have it in
the house.
The esthetic boosters that have recently
crowded into the Vale neighborhood and
are trying to boom the Willow creek
country, insist that the creek is now a
river. Well, it might have enough water
in it for day or two during the spring
freshets to be called river, but for about
800 days out of the 365 one has consider
able trouble finding enough water in that
stream to quench the thirst of horse.
Jordan Valley, with stream 4 times the
size Of Willow creek, has followed suit
and now we must remember to call it
Jordan River, with big r. Prosperity
and plenty prevails on Jordan River and
the higher up the stream, the more pros
porous it gets. Silver City is right on the

For many years this locality has not
had such fine weather during the first
half Of March as we have been enjoying
this year. Today the sun is shining
brightly, the snow is rapidly melting and
although there are few hazy clouds in
the horizon, the worldwide holiday in
honor of St. Patrick has nothing in this
region to prevent the celebration of this
festival. This day is observed through

To st. Patrick, of Ireland, all honor

And the 18th of March is the happy day,
When with festivities and rejoicing we
all agree,
That from snakes and such evils all
Ireland is free.
All due to st. Patrick.
Our patrons who reside in the northern
part Of the county or in and near Nampa,
should not overlook the fact that they
can buy the best grade Of groceries at the
lowest prices at the 80. X" Grocery in
that city. Spring time is here and when
the food waters subside and the roads
