HIGHLANDS

The euchre party Saturday evening
turned out to be a protracted game of
freeze out The club house proved un-
tenable because of the cold and the few
who ventured out into the weather adj
journed to the home of the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. L. Craver and after warm
ing up on hot coffee and doughnuts,
played cards till Sunday came.
Averill Beavers is in Seattle this
week looking after business interests.
Mrs. Beavers is residing at the Kenne-
wick Hotel during his absence.
A. Vanholderbeke arrived from Spo-
kane few dayf ago and is inspecting
the winter work at the nurseries.
Mrs. Averil Beavers, who arrived re-
Gently from Seattle, has shipped $50
fine White Orpington chickens to their
new home on the Highlands and they
will engage extensively in raising high
grade chickens and turkeys. Mrs.
Beavers is exhibiting one pen of fancy
White Orpingtons at the Poultry Show.
A watch party at the home of Mrs.
Lott was the leading social event of
the week. Many of the Highland young
people and few friends from town
were in attendance and they did full
justice to the Old Year in their festivi-
ties. A New Years Examiner was ed
tied, in which all the departments of
the ordinary newspaper were repre-
sented and many timely jokes sprung
for the amusement and edifcation of
those present. The coming of the New
Year was signal for the dancing to
begin and 1912 was ushered in by a
merry little hop. The refreshments
were greatly appreciated by the guests
and all join in wishing their hostess a
prosperous and happy twelve months in
her farm home.

SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Reichert, a teacher at Kahlotus,
was visitor at the lower grades the
first of the week.
AS Monday was legal holiday there
was no school that day.
Tuesday, there was an unusual num-
Der of absent seats in the high school
room, from what cause it is not known;
but one can easily surmise the why and
wherefore when one remembers that
last week was Christmas vacation.
About dozen high school students
are enjoying an extra weeks vacation
as reward for their perseverance in
study and good hard work the first Sc.
mester. While the poor, unlucky NOR
tails who couldn't average 80 or above
are racking their brains to find answers
of some kind for the awful questions
asked by the teachers this week.
Those escaping the examinations and
their averages are, Marcella Gould 93X;;
Annie Halvorsen IS; Stella Hanson 9SX,
Ellis Dorothy, 94k; Walter Barquist "a;
Shirley Holmes, "a; Lucy Cox, 91k;
Geraldine Grassland, 9214; Hazel Dur
ham, 90; Lura Shanafelt, 92X.
The Freshmen are to be congratulated
on having at least one brilliant pupil in
their class; viz, Lucy Cox. She was
rather Handicapped, having come in late
but she picked her work rapidly and
now leads her class. AS the saying is,
"Abad beginning makes good ending. -
The Freshmen may win out yet.
The seventh grade held a jollification
at the home of Miss Margerie Wilkin-
son last Friday evening. 1t was the
largest and most successful party they
have held and they certainly enjoyed
themselves immensely. After interest.
ing games dainty refreshments were
served by the hostess.

BIG CELEBRATION
FOURTH & FIFTH
RACES AND OTHER SPORTS THE
FOURTH WITH A WILD WEST
SHOW ON THE FIFTH

The two day celebration to be
held here July, and promises to
be the best ever held in Mountain
Home. A program of varied amuse-
ments has been arranged and there
win not be a dull moment during the
two days. Among the features on t.
program is a base ball game, horse
races, foot races, harness events and
grand ball in the evening.
Friday July 9Th a genuine Wild
West show will be produced at the
air grounds under the direction OF
Joe Miller and Dick Everett and par
ticipated in by large number OF
the best lady and men riders in the
intermountain region.
The romance of the old west rap
dly giving away to the reality OF
the new west. Rowing bands OF In
dams no longer attack the prairie
schooner caravans of the pioneers
and the bandits who formerly held
up stage coaches have adopted the
more scientific method of dynamit'
ing the express car. The old days
however still have fascination for
the young and old and it Is this fact
that makes the coming performance
peculiarly appropriate.
Many of the stirring scenes of the
days that have passed beyond re
call will be portrayed in thrilling
manner. The old pioneer days are
pictured by an Indian attack on de
fenseless settlers; the timely arriva
of the cowboys saving the beleag
uered party. The capture and punish
ment of horse thief Is depicted II
realistic manner. A bunch OF prac
lically untamable bronchos test thu
skill and daring of the many exper
riders taking part and incidental!
furnish lots of fun for the spectators
Joe Miller it is announced, leap'
from a running horse at the head O
an enraged Texas Steer and wrestler
with the animal and throws 1t Il
the ground. This is said to be
feat with more thrills than laughs
for the long horns of the steer arr
sharp and to be impaled on then
means serious injury If not death
The cowboys and cowgirls give
uuadrille on horseback; they will CIV
exhibitions of rough and fancy rid
ing and they illustrate the humor al
we'll as the dangers of ranch life.
Before the performance stree
parade will be held. Music will b.
furnished by the Mountain Hom
band and the afternoon can be spen
In a no more satisfying manner b.
young and old for the entertainment
will be educational as we'll as anus
ing.
The regular admission fee has bee
placed at fifty cents with childrel
half price. No extra charge VIII D.
made for the grandstand.

"BOSS" HUGHES

M. Il. Hughes, general manager
for the Idaho Consolidated Power
Company, stopped over in Mountain
Home yesterday, on his way home
to Pocatello from Boise where he
attended the State Republican con-
vention. Mr.. Hughes was a member
OF the platform committee, and chair
man of the subcommittee that wrote
the platform and so far observed
the niceties and delivered the hunch-
es to the recalcitrant powers that
be that the prestige Of Bob Hayes
was backed of, and Hughes assumed
the sceptre as BOSS Hughes OF Ban
nock.' Upon inquiry from Repub-
lican representative, Boss Hughes
stated that he held a very docile
and orderly convention.

LOCAL BOY TAKES
CHAMPIONSHIP

A. 3. Eaton OF Mountain Home IL
the tennis champion of liaho. He
won the title yesterday afternoon.
when he defeated B. @. Fettingill OF
this city in the most spectacular
match ever seen In Boise. 1t took
four sets to decide 1t, and every
stroke was fought for like 1t meant
the match. Eaton lost the first set
and then won the next thrao.
After having fought eacn other to
a standstill, Eaton and Pettlngill join
ed forces and won the doubles cham
pionship, when they defeated the
McBirney brothers.
Every match was closely contested,
but the hardest contest af the day
was In the consolation singles. Ed
wards and Field played five sets, and
II took them three hours and q half
210 minutes OF heartbreaking battling
A feature of the game played by
the Mountain Home man was the puz
zling brand Of curve he put on al
most every ball he played. 1t was
that feature of his game that proved
most puzzling to Pettingill, and had
a great deal OF effect on the result
OF the match. Eaton proved the more
consistent player. His game at the
net was almost uncanny. 1t seemed
past him as he stood there.-Statea-
man.
