The Passing of the Bishop Of Home
vile.


An Appreciation By Arthur w. Hawks.l
The postal said. .'Our old town is be-
reaved tonight" And / knew it was
true. ! knewthere was weeping in every
home III dear old bonneville. that all the
little children, and the lads and the
lasses- and the workaday people, and es-
pecially the old people saw the sunset
through their tears. For on this day the
Bishop of Hcmevlle had passed to his
rest and his reward. And way out in
Indiana an old man bowed his head on
his hands, and his hands on his desk,
and cried as he hadn't cried since he was
boy in bonneville. For we all loved
the Bishop. But beyond the golden
gates of the sunset / saw the Bishop at
home, and there were very many to greet
him. People who had accepted Jesus
Christ through his preaching. andpreseut-
ly he saw sweet face, and he heard the
voice of the Master say, Well done,
good and faithful servant" And the
memory of the Bishop will always be
very sweet and fragrant in our hearts,

HORSE OF WHITNEY
FOUND DEAD

The notorius Hugh Whitney, whose
| life or capture has been sought in
vain by more than 200 posses of four
states, may have succeeded, as re-
ported in the daily papers, in eluding
all of his pursuers and at last found
a haven of refuge in the Jackson
hole country of Wyoming, but it
doesn't look that way from a Soda

|Springs point of view.
So late ago as Monday afternoon of
last week the carcass a horse
which bore traces of having been rid
den hard before life became extinct,
was found at the Three Mile knoll,
together with a saddle and a bride
that had been roughly used.
Constable George Small and Jack
Thiel drove out to the spot and they
are said to be authority for the state
ment that the dead horse tallies close
ly with the description given of the
animal ridden by Whitney.

A GOOD FARMER

W. c. Carnell, who lives just out OF
Town northwest of Blackfoot, has a
neat little farm, of which seemingly
every foot is utilized in crops of some
kind Most of it is in potatoes, but
he has a great variety of good things
crowded in closely set rows where
hardly a weed is seen. Everything
looks thrifty, and the neighbors say
that Mr.. Carnell is out every morning
with the early birds, and while the
birds sing and rustic for worms, Mr..
Carnell is shipping out the little
weeds. 7 ~.
Those who looked over the exhibit
of vegetables at the fair last fall may
remember that he made II entries Of
vegetables and received 13 blue rib
bons on them. He had three kinds
Of onions and three blue ribbons for
best onions.

farm better than they are doing,
would find 1t profitable to visit the
CarneH farm and take some lessons
from this successful agriculturist,

SHE ONCE LIVED HERE

Mrs. 6. s. Borup, the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. W. G. Dawson, OF Gold
Point, died last February at Dainty's
hospital for the Insane at Lethbridge,
Alberta The husband has since gone
Ito South America.
Mr.. Borup lived near Blackfoot for
many years and was well known
among the stockmen although not
much of stockman himself He
removed to Alberta, did not get along
well there, is said to have mistreated
his wife SO much that a separation
was considered, and on the 18th of
February he laid Information with
the Office of the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police charging insanity.
which was confirmed, and she died
few days after being committed to
the hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. Dawson are very

A PLUCKY WOMAN \ 4 j

Mrs. VIM. LIE Vonde, who lives Il
the Dippel Addition, is spending he
time in way that is worthy cs
ample for any young woman to folloy
who finds time hanging heavy on he
hands. Mrs. LIE Vonde is connecte'
with picture show in P0catello ant
has to be away most of the time, ant
they have a three-acre patch lying a
the edge of the bench north of wha
is known as the Bates corer."
Mr., LIE Vonde has carefully gradet
the slope into five terraces and plant
ed it to fruit trees and arranged thu
bitches so that he can water all tht
terraced parts by changing the little
water gates. The whole tract Il
planted to something and in spite ol
the weeds that smothered it all wheI
they took possession, they are getting
it under control.
Mrs. LIE VOnde gets up early in the
morning and goes out with her hoe
and fights weeds and sees the sun rise
and enjoys the early morning concerts
of the wild birds. She wears high
top shoes and short shirts in this
work, and is not troubled with the
dew nor the care of skirts. She has a
big dog that fingers around and seems
interested in everything she does. She
talks to him, and he tilts his ear and
squints an eye and looks pleased or
serious to suit the occasion, and when
his sign language fails to express his
feelings he prances around and whines
or growls or both.
Lady LIE Vonde began the season
this spring by operating a little in
cubator and hatchng two families of
White Wyandotts. The older ones are
three months old and the others two
months. They are the finest chicks
that anybody ever saw, and as tame
as can be. When the visitor picks
one of them up to love the chicken at
short range, it purrs and chatters and
looks you in the eye SO that it pro-
vokes smile, and the instant you
reveal row of teeth, the chicken
tries to pick them, thinking they are
good to eat.
Mrs. LIE Vonde wants to raise them
on a larger ssale next year. She has
500 brussels sprouts and 700 cabbage
plants, an acre of potatoes and vari-
Gus other things that grow. Mr.. LIE
Vonde comes up from Pocatello about
three times week to see his wife and
the dog and chickens and to have
look at things that are growing. He
has notion of moving the folks to
Pocatello, but they can't quite make
up their minds to leave the place.
When people fall so deeply in love
with a place in year or so, what
must their attachments become if they
'tay with it for a term of years?

BEESLEl BUILDS A BARN

|. l.. Beesley has just completed
big barn that has been in course ol
construction for two years past. II
is situated on little hillside at the
farm north of town and on the ives,
side of the Snake river.
The barn is 60A6O feet on the
ground and about As feet high, with
roof built on circular, self-support-
ing rafters. There is nothing else
like it in this part of the country,
and Mr.. Beesley is justly proud of
his close imitation of steel arches
made of wood.
There Is not post nor a beam
from the floor of the hay-mow to the
arched roof, and one could hang a
swing in the center and swing in any
direction to the walls without having
anything in the way. The capacity
OF the NOW is 1876 tons of hay and it
also has granary of 400 bushels
with automatic feeder pipes extending
down to the hall that runs through
the full length of the building, be-
tween the managers. The grain does
not discharge itself bnto the feed
troughs, but into a receptacle from
which it can be dipped or scooped,
and 1t replenishes itself as fast as it
Is used
There is fire escape from the hay
NOV, and all the doors are on rollers,
the hangers have cement base, there
are cutters to carry off the water
from the caves to the upper side of
the barn, and two box stalls made
with cement sides and cement man
gers and cement feed troughs make
CHEEKY places for the occupants.
The first story of the barn is all
made of rock and cement, there is
room to drive a wagon through the
barn, and derrick eleyates the hay
at one and an elevator hoists the
sacks of grain at the other. On the
front of the building is painted II.

Miss Bingham came here ten

Down on the Shirley farm in the
Kennedy Addition there are all kinds
of pets, and conspicuous among them
are six robust shotes that were raised
on bottles.
Something happened to separate
them from their mother when they
