MANY FROM SILVER CITY GO
AWAY TO SCHOOL

With the coming Of the frost on the
pumpkins the ringing of the school bells
is heard. Again are the students leaving
their homes for the various schools and
universities. And with the opening Of
the school year, new games begin to at
tract the attention of the followers Of
sportdom. Baseball will soon cease and
the great college game begin; football
will soon be king.
Many are leaving here for another
years study. They are going to get the
education which they recognize they will
need in later life. They see that the man
Of tomorrow must be educated in order to
have a fair chance in the world. And
they are unwilling to lose that chance.
Silver City will have her representation
in the different institutions Of leAfnang
this year Some have already gone tsofne
are yet to go. Those who have gone are
Lewis Crete, Miss Heer, Miss villa Nav
Gardner, Ray, Karl and Ned Williams,
Miss Ednetta st Clair, and Clifford Wes-
ton. Those who are to 60 are Arthur
Heer and r. G. Adams.
And when Spring comes they will re-
turn, happy to get back, though con
scious of the fact that they have been
benefited by their nine months absence
at school,

CITY SCHOOL BEGINS
MONDAY MORNING

Monday morning the Silver City school
bell rang little to call the pupils to-
gether. Its sound.caused different emo
tions in different hearts. Parents were
glad to hear it, as it took the children
from their care and transferred them to
the care Of the teachers for several hours
each day; teachers were glad, as it meant
the return Of wage earning time; kids
were mad, as it meant the end Of their
vacation.
This year the teachers in this district
are Mr.. A. D. BradfeId, principal, and
Mrs. Myrtle Shea, intermediate and pri-
mary instructor. The enrolment was
fairly large, there being 8 in the upper
room and 26 in the lower.
The patrons of our school are fortunate
in securing the services of such compe-
tent and satisfactory teachers, as they
have proven their worth heretofore in
their present positions and shown that
they have few equals as teachers Of
this grade
Prof Bradfield is one Of the best quail
fed instructors in the state Of Idaho, and
gives his entire attention to school work.
lie has been employed as principal Of the
Silver City schools for the past six years.
Mrs. Myrtle Shea, nee Hastings, had
occupied the position OF teacher in the
school here for four years before she was
elected County School Superintendent,
which position she held for six years, Civ
ing entire satisfaction and doing excel
lent work in building up the educational
standard Of the public schools Of owyhee
County.
With such teachers our present school
is an assured success, and when ably
supported by our school board and our
efficient County Superintendent, the
schools OF 0wyhee County and of Silver
City in particular will be second to none.
Silver City can well boast Of her school.
1t has always been credit to her; and
this year there has been no decrease in
the standard

A PLEASANT
SURPRISE
Surprise Party in Honor of Miss
Matte and MIR. Arthur Heer
Given Saturday Night

Seven thirty o'clock was the time set
for the assembly, but it was an hour
later when a sufficient number had
gathered to warrant successful outcome
of the sudden, secret attack on the hill.
After the assault had been made, more
guests came in by one's and two's until a
company of twenty-five or thirty young
people were gathered at the home Of DR..
f. S. Heer, in honor Of Miss Matte and
Mr.. Arthur Heer. The host and hostess
were going away to college and this was
their farewell party.
After the guests had arrived they talked
and laughed and had good time gener-
ally. Then some were prevailed upon to
play the piano and in this way they were
entertained until guessing game was
started. This game consisted in guessing
the names Of popular songs, as repre-
sented by one or more persons For in
stance; two girls dressed in blue appeared
and this representation Immediately sug-
gested the old, familiar song, Two Little
Girls in Blue" That was easy, but there
were some which weren't. The first
prizes in this game went to Mr.. Frank
Houg and Miss Louise Hicks; the BOBBY
awards went to Mr.. Quinn and Miss Will
la May Gardner.
The next game played was guessing
noses. It was in this way: A white
cloth was stretched in doorway; slit
was cut in the cloth someone protruded
his olfactory organ through the slit. Then
the fun began. When one guessed
wrongly that is, attributed the facial
adornment to person other than the
owner thereof-he was compelled to pay
forfeit. When the guessing had gone
the rounds, quite forfeiture bond was
collected. What followed was scream.
The redemption of the forfeits was very
interesting, amusing and-instructive.
The chief event was a song by the host
it went something like this: MY bonnie
has tuberculosis, etc. There was no
tune to speak of. A very realistic imita-
ton of chanticler was quite favorably re-
ceived. Songs, proposals, jigs and oscu-
latory exhibitions received prolonged
laughter and applause.
After the forfeits had been redeemed,
even to the last collar-button and match,
there was more talk. Next came the
feed. Sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and
cake-it certainly was treat Everyone
had enough, and they do say the wait
resses were seen eating their ice-cream
from mush bowls with ladies'. That
wasn't fair; they weren't entitled to no
more than nobody else, nohow.
More music followed; and finally one
of the guests turned handspring, meta
phorically speaking, into the center
of the room-it is said she was
bribed to do it,, and in the confusion
that followed, all started home, the hands
of the various watches and clocks point
ing to somewhere between one and two
o'clock Sunday morning.
And when the guests departed they
vowed by Billiken and all the rest of the
minor deities that they had had good
time.

Boston.-A mysterious man who
rides about in a green touring car by
night, searches the cutters Of the
south end by day for pennies. nails
pins, cigar butts and similar articles
Who he is puzzles every one. Ever
and anon he darts from the sidewalk
into the gutter and snatches up some
thing which he thrusts into one of
the capacious pockets of his rusty
brown overcoat.
Hundreds of South Enders aver that
the mysterious stranger obtains more
than a good living by picking things
out of the gutter. Again and again
curious residents have hailed the
stranger and attempted to wrest from
