will not be as often heard of in di-

spent in idleness. Healthy bodies and
clean minds go oftenest together That
is one reason why sports for young or
old are encouraged 1t is the reason
colleges urge their students to do gym

BE UP AND DOING

Tell me not in mournful numbers
That the town is full of gloom,
For the mans a crank that slumbe
In these glorious days of boom.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal
Every dollar that thou turnest
Helps to make the old town roll.
But enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way;
If you have no money. borrow
Buy a corner lot today
Lives of great men all remind us,
We can win immortal fame.
Let us leave the chumps behind us
And we'll get there all the same.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Let us make the dry bones rattle
Invest something for your wifel
Let us then be up and doing
With a heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing

DOGS TO GO
City Council Decided That There Is
Too Many Dogs in the City

The census man has just complet-
ed taking the dog census of Richfiel
tract and finds that there is just eve
1898 dogs in Richfield, or an increa
of 1890 dog inhabitants over last
year. That is not a bad showing
for the fertility of the soil on the
tract when we take into cansidera-
tion that dogs were selling at pre-
MUM a year ago and scarce at that.
But, the city wathers met In reg
ular session Thursday evening, and
decided that there were entirely toe
many different brands of dogs il
Richfield and therefore have resolv-
ed that the dog population of Rich
field is going to decrease instead
increase from now on, and all dog
and dog owners are hereby notified
that all dogs mo batter of what bree
color or sex, will on next Wednesda
if their taxes are not paid be ar
rested and tried for vagrancy, and
found guilty of not having a Rich
field dog-tax check, will be senten-
ced to be shipped from the tract.

er they will be sent up or down or t

that all kinds of vegetables and farm

u Richfield has not made world
breaking record in it's showing in
history during the year of 1910, yet
what it has done, is to the credit OF
the tract, the town and the people.
There has not been a large amour
of building going on, but what has
been done is substantial. There has
been all told, but seven new build
ings erected in the town, but out
over the tract there has been dozens
of comfortable farm houses erected
and hundreds of acres cleared and p
into crop, but what has been done is
nothing compared to what we can
expect in 1911, as it promises to see
one of the greatest building booms
Richfield, that there has been in e
state for several years.
Weddings in the town rhave been
very few, but there has been ten
of the young men that have taken

on the Richfield Tract is exceeding

sickness during 1910. Not case OF
Typhoid fever, but one case OF pneu-
monia and one case of spotted fe-
yer, being reported on the entire
tract during the year. There has
been but three deaths on the tract
during the year and not one of the I
three could be considered from natu
causes.
There has not been a fire or an
accident of any consequences on the
trace and but two street fights dur
ing the year, very little drunkenness
and but three arrests and one law
suit.

Officially Announced
Camas Prairie Paper Publishes Inter.
view From General Manager Ban
croft of Idaho Central

The following article taken from
the Canas Prairie Courier, publishe
Prairie, will be of interest to the
citizens of the Richfield Tract and
is given in full.
If doubt exists in the minds of an
one as to whether Camas Prairie is
to have a railroad this coming sum-
mer, we would ask those parties to
carefully read the following state
ment made by w. H. Bancroft to
two Soldier business men last Fri
day at the general offices of the
Short Line system. While anoffic-
ial announcement af this kind has
been expected for some time, it
was hardly expected that the first
word, which means so much to Cam
as Prairie, would appearfirst in pa
per published on Camas Prarie.
Rumors which have been giving o
duriug the last thirty days have all
shown that something of this sort
was due, and the report that the con
trac had been let while not borne
out by the following interview, show
ed plainly that Camas Prairie end OF
tn eOwinza cutoff to Boise was
certainty.
The interview which follows was
arranged for by State Water Com
missioner Mcmillan, an old friend of
Manager aBncroft, who introduced
Frank Housman and W. Y. Perkins
as representatives from Camas Pra-
irie who wished to know whatthe
people of our valley could depend
on Mr.. Mcmillan asked Mr.. Ban
croft to tell the gentlemen mention
ed what he told him the night be-
fore and Mr.. Bancroft volunteered
that he could tedl them more than

Just received word from the east
granting the appropriation asked
for to construct the Camas Prairie
section of the Boise cutoff. Mr..
Bancroft further stated:
"You can tell the people of Cam
as Prairie that the money for the
building of SO miles of railroad from
Wood river to Camas Prairie has
been asked for, the appropriation
for the same granted, and the road
will be built as soon as men and mo
can build it with the opening o.

Camas Prairie is the best we have

The above article coming from
the source it does, leaves no doubt
but what the road will be built with
the opening of spring. and the peop
of the Richfield tract can join with
the people o, Camas Prairie in re-
joicing over the good news, as the
two tracts Joined together by a line
of railroad will make one of the besl
and richest sections of Idaho.
