DEFEAT ROAD BONDS.


An issue of $4,000 for highway
district bonds was defeated in the
Dietrich district Saturday, by a vote
that said conclusively that the peo-
pie didn't want to build much roads
right now The section has much
sand, so that road building, while
very necessary, Is pretty hard and
expensive problem to solve. The
country has not succeeded in getting
as far ahead financially as had been
predicted, as indeed it is certain it
viii one day do; and times ase close
there They built fine big school
house last year, onie that cost we'll
on to $4,000; several thousand dol
lars more than the issue of bonds
the district had voted to complete
the structure; and they have about
all the debt they care to assume at
the present time So they didn't
vote as did Richfield which had
only one vote against creating the
highway district, and only two a
gainst the $4,000 bond issue prob
ably the most remarkable record eve
made by any political subdivision
In the whole history of Idaho.
The Dietrich country is going to
be one of the most prosperous in
Southern Idaho, when the farmers
get it all into pasture and hay, so
that there is no loose sand. The
sandy soil is one of the richest in
the state, and is warm and safe for
the tenderest of crops.

MUST CASE THEIR WELL
Cave-in Calls for Cessation OF Work
on Richfield Well

Work on the deep well being drill
led by the o. s. L. crew at this
place, was shut down Sunday night.
pending the arrival of 800 feet of
13-inch casing to case the well down
to that depth At a depth OF a.
bout 200 feet, vein OF blue clay
was encountered, some of which has
been caving in and making it i'm
perative to put down the casing
The hole is now down to depth Of
about 270 feet; In lava, after the
passage Of the one vein Of clay.
The rest of the hole will be bored
with a 10-inch drill None of the
operators are able to predict at
what depth they will find the water
they are seeking for. though it is
expected that water will be reach
ed before they go very much deeper.
The apparatus they have is equipped
to go down $500 feet If necessary.
The drill proper weighs about 1000
pounds, and the rest of the drop
ping part brings the weight to about
5000 pounds, which weight raises
and drops two feet every second. 1t
is one of the standard deep we'll
outfits, such as are used all through
the oil country for deep holes.

FORESAY THE RIVERS RISE
Cats Instinct Told Her of Danger Two
Days Before the Disaster
Occurred.

A friend sends us this interesting
cat story: "Tabby had seven bright
eyed kittens about a month old, for
which we made a cozy nest out of old
gunnysacking and fine rags in the coal
shed. But one morning the lest was
found empty. We searched every
where in vain. The mother and her
whole family had utterly disappeared.
Our home was on the river bottom.
Half a mile away, n a little higher
up, liver Peter Siesler, u nearest
neighbor: a mile away, on the crest OF
the BLUM, lived James Dawson. We
were all good neighbors, and the boys
of the families, who frequently visited
back and forth, knew every pet dog.

farms.
That night the river began to rise,
and the next morning our house was
separated from the Siegler's by a low
swale which the river had filled. By
night We had removed the family and

die with narrow ribbon and finish
with a pretty bow.
The girl away at college would sure
ly be overjoyed with a shoe bag,
which she can hang inside her closet
door. The shoe bag should be half
the length of the door with compart-
ments for shoes, slippers and rubbers
and a long compartment Oh one side
for an umbrella, and on the other for
books o in use. The materials used
should be heavy denim with the com
partments bound in tape.
A pleasing notion would be to make
any articles for the girls away at col
lege in their college colOrs. A piece
of gay colored cretonne bound all
around with a pretty braid would also
be acceptable as a trunk cover.
Dear-to every girls heart are pretty
dress accessories. The new Robes
pierre collars with jabots Of frilly lace
certainly will be a welcome addition to
our friends wardrobes. The collars
are usually made of black satin with
the ruEles of lace about two Inches
wide.
Chic boudoir caps are made of cir
cles of shadow lace IS inches wide
with soft ruffles Of narrow lace around
the crown. The ruffies should be made
in the back wider than in the front
to give the effect of a Dutch bonnet.
The cap is decorated with little pink
rosebuds and a band of pink ribbon.
Exquisite La France roses are made
out of folded satin ribbon in three-tnch
lengths. Turn the ends back at the cor
ners to form the petals. Group the
petals together and join to a wire
stem which has been twisted with mar
row green satin.
A natural looking bunch Of violets
is formed Of tiny bows Of twisted VIC
let ribbon tied with green silk wire.
Hat pins, collar pins and buckles
are wonderfully effective when COW
cred with ribbon roses made Of mar
row folded ribbon grouped closely to-
gether. If you prefer you can use
satin cherries made of tiny circlec of
satin filed with cotton, with petals
Of green ribbon.
The girl who dances will find much
pleasure in receiving a pretty pair of
beaded satin slipper bows to match
her party slippers.
For the traveller a small %cretonne
pillow with pockets on one side for
magazines and newspapers would be
a convenience.
A set Of envelopes of white linen to
hold the necessary articles, would al
SO be q useful gift. II you have time
you could ~buttonhole the flap in seal
lops. One envelope for handkerchiefs,
one for the night dress, m lined in
rubber for the toilet articles, and one
large one for the extra waist. The
pieces you have left of the linen you
can utilize for napkin rings, scalloped
and finished with a monogram, or for
bOudoir lamp shades, which are much
admired when inserted with medal
ions Of fine lace.
For the invalid a thoughtful little
gift would be a cover for the drinking
glass. A glass circle the size of the
top of the ordinary glass is required;
crochet a cover over the glass in a
simple stitch in two cOlOrs of mercer,
lied cotton. In the center sew a Gro
cheted ring for a handle.

I " SOuESell last christmas lDal
E4~sy--a your future Christmas re-
SSssSSg membrance would be com
4 pleted in ample time, and un-
DER no circumstances would the next
christmas season find you in a rush
n hustle, planning and finishing be-
!2tCG Christmas gifts. What an idle
dream that was. for here it is Christ
mas time approaching again, and you
are raCking your brain and attempting
to decide what to give at the eleventh
hour, in a great hurry and turmoil.
Isn't II so?
What not to give, would be a more
appropriate phrase. For in the selec-
ton of your gifts some regard has
10 be given to the a~daptability and the
utility Of the present. A wise idea is
TO spend more time than money in
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
II 1t expresses something of yourself
and shows that you own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon a
selection of the tokens.
h real essence of the Christmas
spirit is not expenditure. How Easy
1t is to purchase gorgeous gifts if n
has a well filed purse! But if the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not be
remembered for very long. Let your
gifts be expressions Of love n
thoughtfulness. The thought and time
you put in gifts of your W handi-
work will mean much more than If
you simply give something for the
sake Of giving.
The cost of homemade gifts is gen
orally small. A multitude of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have at
hand, and of odd pieces of linen, rib
bons and silk. Clever fingers can
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote Of the Yuletide season.
Go at your tasks in a cheerful, blith-
some manner, and you will find your
work n of joy. The following sug-
gestions may provide you with numer-
Gus ideas for attractive gifts, which
may be made ineXpensiveiy.
With little effort dainty sachets to
perfume your friends gowns may be
made at a very small cost. Make six
sachets in pastel shades of satin rib
bon about two inches square. Fill
with soft cotton busted with some
fragrant sachet powder. Place the
SaChets n on top of the other and
tie with narrow gauZe ribbon. Gilt
safety pins are attached to each
sachet so the bags can be pinned on
the different frocks.
One distinct novelty is a colonial
pin cushion. For this unique cushion
you will have to purchase a glass can
dlestick in a simple design. Cover
one side of a four-inch square of card
board with some pretty silk which
harmOnizes with the color scheme Of
your friends bedrooms. Form a
mOund-like cushion of cotton on the
other side and cover with the silk.
The cushion Is fastened to the candle
stick by fine wires or thread. Around
the edge OF the cushion sew a beaded
fringe about three inches long.
Another pin cushion has for the
foundation a four-inch wire tea strain
err. The back is fitted with a disk of
cotton covered in c]retonne. The wire
part is lined with Powered ~cretonne
