DEATH OF MRS. MERKLEY

Mrs. J. M. Merkley departed this
life on Monday, the End of October,
following an operation for appendi-
citis. She had been troubled with
weakness of the heart for years, and
it was feared that the surgical oper-
alton might bring fatal results on
that account. She got along as well
as other patients for week, and
then without warming the end came.
She passed away in about 20 minutes
from the time the first symptoms of
failure appeared.
Mrs. Merkley was born near Weber,
Utah, and was 48 years of age. Her
maiden name was Thesea Wilholm-
sen, and she became the mother of
seven children, five of whom are still
living. When notified of the mother S
death they all assembled at Blackfoot
and in company with the father they
conveyed the remains to st. Charles,
Idaho, where the funeral will be held
this afternoon.

HUNTERS MUST LEARN

Sportsmen roaming through the
fields and pastures must learn that
when they shoot they shoot farther
than they aim. Complaints of ami
mails injured or killed by stray bull
lets or shot are heard on every hand,
and it is time that people going out
for amusement should come to un-
derstand that there are things that
need protection outside of the town
limits as well as on the streets.
At the Williams ranch, southeast
of town, a fine large mare was found
this week with bullet wounds show
ing that she had been shot through
the intestines, and the poor animal
lay in the field suffering and awaiting
death. Last year they lost another
valuable animal in the same way.

The Durability
Of a + rame House

is not the only feature that should
be considered when building home.
Few people are far-sighted enough
to anticipate their requirements fif-
teen or twenty years hence. Some
day you may desire an addition
made to your home or some changes
made to make the home more ade-
quate to your demands and here
again is an advantage in having a
frame house. Alterations can be
made much more easily on such
house, leaving practically no contrast
between the old and the new, usually
at trifling expense. This, however,
is only one of the advantages in
frame building. We can name many
more that are based on sound rea-
soning and long years Of close OBJ
servation. Before building come in
and let's talk this lumber business
over.
