R. A. Goodhue, of Boise, secretary
of the Commercial Cream Co. of that
place, was in Richfeld this week, to
look over his farm west of town. He
is better pleased each time he visits the
land, and he says no where in Idaho is
there better farm or town prospect
than right here in Richfeld.
Mr.. and Mrs. K G. Phelps have re-
ceived the fine new Chickering parlor
grand piano which Mrs. Phelps pur-
chashed in Boise, two weeks ago. 1t
is a magnificent instrument, and the
new owners are as well pleased with it
as it would be possible for anyone to
be.
The Byrne meat market has new
cash register, which will make it
a pleasure to take in and count
money. 1t is from the National
Cash Register Works at Dayton,
Ohio, the greatest establishment of
its kind in the world.
Jerry Clifford and Hal Cornell, of
Dietrich, were Richfeld visitors Thurs
day. They rode up along the big canal
that runs past Dietrich, and were de-
lighted to find the ditch in such good
condition and so much water in it.
They expect Dietrich to make good
growth this season, as many settlers
are already coming in to take up their
residence on their lands around the
town.
1t is reported that the new ordinance
to restrain chickens, pigs, cows, horses
and other live stock from running at
large in the village of Richfield, is not
being observed so that any one could
notice it. 1t is little early for gar
dens, and there has been little protest
so far; but it wouldn't be bad sug-
gestion that any one who continues to
turn his stock loose is inviting trouble
from someone who might be injured by
heir depredations.
DR.. c.. w. Hunt, of Spokane is in
making arrangements for
proving up on his farm two miles
northwest of town. He has had

las 60 acres of land cleared and
lowed, and expects to improve the
,lace into one of the best there is
anywhere on the tract. The DR..
eturned here last week from Los
angeles, where he spent the winter.
The Oldest inhabitant" which
n this case is Tom Byrnes-says
e Dever before saw so bad a winter,
or So fine a spring, in his quarters
centuary here on the Richfield
act. The ground was not frozen
eeply and the snow, while it melt
rapidly, didnot make a flood at
Il, but the water soaked into the
Ill, giving it such drink as it
as perhaps not had since the days
