A Resident Forty-four Years.

M. d. Yeaman, of Swan Valley
was the guest of his son, Andy Yea
mau over Sunday coming here from
Idaho Falls, where he transacted
business last week. Mr.. Yeaman
moved to Idaho in 1867, when Wy
oming was part of the Territory of
Idaho, and has been n resident of
the state ever since. He first located
in Marsh valley, before that country
was an Indian reservation, and he
has seen the boundries of the state
cut down to it's present size, has
seen it admitted to the union in 1890
and has witnessed the states rapid
development since that time. The
frontier has been the gentleman's S
home through his entire life, aud he
relates many interesting tales of the
earley days of the west. Few peo-
pie remember that at one time Idaho
comprised the territoy of Idaho as
it is today, Montana and part of

LADY
PASSES AWAY

After witnessing the changes of al
most half century in Idaho, one Of
the states pioneer women, Mrs.
Emily Warren Holder died last
Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. The
deceased had reached the age of
sixty-eight years and when death
summoned her she was at the old
Warren home, between the forks of
the Snake and Blackfoot rivers,
where she had resided since 1870.
Funeral services were held in the
Baptist church, Monday, November
9th at l 80 p m, Rev. w. r. Jewell
officiating. Internment took place
in Grove City cemetery.
Mrs. Holders life spanned his
tory making period in the Gem
State, and in the years before her
arrival in the commonwealth, her
life figured in the developement Of
this western empire. She was one
of the many girls who braved the
dangers incidentto pioneering in the
west, and crossed the plains, in 1868.
From the time the Mississippi was
left hardly habitation was found
between the father of waters and
Salt Lake. In 1868, after her arrival
in Salt Lake she was united in mar
riage to Joseph Warren and the lat
ter preceded her to Idaho by two
wears. Mr.. Warren purchaed from
a man by the name Of Gibson, what
has since been known as the Warren
ranch, virtually the first habitation

prano of fine voice and Miss Jessie
Elliot a reader of rare ability. In

fortune of all the teachers at the in
stitute in Pocatello, to hear this
organization and they were so fine
that nearly every school in this part
of the state are asking them for a
concert date. The Blackfoot High
School got in early and have them
billed for our closing number. Prof.
Blair who directs this organization
is an accomplished violinist and does
fine vocal solos.
This makes five number course
that will commend itself to all class

the price low, in fact very low, that
a great number of the citizens will
attend. The tickets are on sale at
the Central School building at One
and-one-half dollars for adults and
one dollar for school children. These
tickets are transferable to members
of the f; mily and are good for all

profit on this course will go toward
