ROYAL NEIGHBORs ENTERTAIN

The most enjoyable event Of the
season was spent Friday evelng, when
the Royal Neighbors of Golden Chain
Camp No. 3058 entertained the R.
N. A. Camp of Arco. The Mackay
train was met by committee who es-
corted the Royal Neighbors of Arco
Camp to the hall, where bounteous
supper awaited them. The Camp
rooms were beautifully decorated in
p rple and white. Immediately after
supper they were taken to the New
Isis theatre, where some excellent Sc
lections we're rendered by an Italian
orchstra. From there they were
taken back to the Camp rooms where
candidate was shown the mysteries
of the lodges. Both Camps then put
the work on most satisfactory man
ner. After the closing of lodge, the
crowd was again ushered into the din
ing room, where lovely night lunch
was served. The Arco Camp was
then cared for at the Cottage hotel,
being met the next morning by some
members to see them OF on the train.
Everything from the planning of the
entertainment to the leaving of the
pleasant party seemed to be one
grand success.

the first of the week. Mr.. Peacock's
work takes him all over southern Ida

Gem state, south and west to jar
bridge and the sunny side Of the Sew

way places where settlers are in need
of aid in establishing Sunday schools,
and he goes from house to house and
from settlement to settlement attend
ing to the details of organizing and
maintaining this branch of work. He
is always on the go, always busy, nev-
er in too great a hurry, and knows
more people and understands condi-
tions better than most other people.

MOVING THE TILDEN BRIDGE


There is some talk of moving the
'Ttlden bridge to the narrows, by the
butte opposite Rich. where it would
have good foundations and good con-
nections ca roads that could be easily
kept up.
In the event that the big dam Is
built at American Falls to convert the
bottoms into lake, the bridge IL
located at Rich would be just at the
head of the "tide WATER" and would
be on the line of the shortest route
between Pocatello and the Tilden
country.

They knew of this river at its
source by having sent out scouts all
along the Bitter Root range when
they were camped in western Mon
tana, trying to find the best route
westward. They spent a|month in
this work and learned of several large
streams taking a westward course,
now known as the Snake river, Sal
mon river and Clarke's Fork. The
scouts must have gone as far south
ward as latitude 1925 along the
South Fork of Snake river, for two
stones have been found in the local
ity Of Irwin bearing the engraving
CLARK 1895" that bear evidence of
having been dated a century ago.
One of them is now in the Office of
the Register at Idaho Falls.
AS the party fioated down Salmon
river they indicated the latitude and
longitude where clark's Fork and the
Lewis Fork joined the Columbia.
They had some surprises in this
matter, fore only short distance
down Salmon, the supposed Lewis
river, came in from the south. That
stream is now known as East Fork
of Salmon river. Farther west an
other large stream flowed in, now
known as Middle Fork. A great dis
tance farther down the real Lewis
river came in, or rather they came
into it as the main stream. They
travelled on, thinking they had lost
Clarke's Fork, and that it must reach
the ocean by some other course, when
they encountered it as the greatest
stream of all.
Andrew Henry Comes
In 1910 Andrew Henry came over
the range and established trading
post, but had hard winter and aban
doned it in the spring of 1911. On
his way down the Missouri the party
met the Astor overland expedition
coming up, and one of Mr.. Henry's
men was induced to join the Astor
party. They took more southerly
course through the Big Horn country
to Jackson's Hole and down the South
Fork of the Snake, naming it Mad
river, followed 1t down to about Heise
Hot Springs or Sunny Dell, and then
went across somewhat out of their
course to Henry's abandoned post,

times, they call fort. a
