REQUESTED TO
FAN THE BREEZE

For several weeks a couple of young
women adorned in divided skirts and
riding boots have been sojourning in
the city. The girls really were not
so very course, but had mannerisms
that were not exactly up to the stand
ard of politeness as laid down by the
authorities. However, they remained
until the minion of the law could
secure enough evidence against them
to cause them to fan the breeze to
some new range This was done Sun
day by Chief Simmons, who informed
the female buckeroos that if they were
still stirring up the dust around this
camp Monday noon he would have to
throw them into the city corral and
advertise them as strays. and as no
one was liable to bid very high ON
them, they might have to raise enough
money themselves to pay the feed bill.
This did not seem to appeal to the
fair daughters OF the sage brush,
working evidently not being in their
Inc, unless they had something to
work. In the parlance of the effets
west they done drug it" some tirhe
between the hour when the chief noti-
fled tEsm and the expiration of the
allotted time. They we're last heard of
whipping themselves down the flank
and headed for Cokeville, Wyoming.
Idaho Is to be congratulated on their
choice Of residence.

A Story Of Work and Reward

On October Gath, 1909, Roy Randell
and his mother purchased ten acres
Of land In the Sam Rich lane, east
of town. At that time they had 500
in cash and ten mich cows. They
contracted to pay $1,000 for the land
and since have built an $1,10O house.
They conducted a dairy, Roy driv-
ing the wagon in Blackfoot and his
mother doing the ranch work. We'd
nesday they came to town and paid
off a small mortgage on the place,
settled all the debts they owed in
the world and felt like two kids just
out OF school. The fact that Roy is
little moro than a boy now, and when
he and his mother started he was in
reality at the age when most boys
would have been going through the
cigarette, street .loafing stage of their
development, reflects the greatest
credit on him for staying with hard
game, helping his mother and Incl
dentally developing into a business
man with head for getting along in
the world. The Randalls have al
many friends as they have acquaint-
ances, and all will be glad to learn
that the two who have without fail,
winter or summer furnished the kid
dies of the town with milk, have
beaten the game and that things are
coming smoothly for them.

M'CAMMON HAS
A BAD FIRE
(Pocatello Tribpne)

At about two O'Clock this morning
fire broke out in the Harkness hotel
at McCammon, and in a short time
the entire structure was burned tc
the ground.
Every effort was made to save the
building, but the water supply is Sc
inadequate that the effort was use
less. Had there been any wind the
result might have been very disas-
trous to the town, but fortunately it
was very quiet, and even the sur
rounding trees were little more than
scorched.
The Harkness hotel is one of the
Oldest buildings in McCammOn, and
stood on it's present site more than
thirty years. It was frame struc-
ture. and dry as tinder. 1t is thought
that the fire started from defective
flue. Aside from small amount Of
furniture nothing was saved.
The hotel was operated by Mrs. H.
O. Harkness, and it is stated that in
surance to the amount of $4,000 or
more is held by those Interested in
the property.
Mrs. Harkness stated this morning,
among other losses she sustained was
a tin box that had been given her by
Mr.. Harkness. She had been given
instructions to not open the box un
a certain time elapsed, and yesterday
was the time She found In the box
$500 in gold, about $1,000 in currency,
and number of valuable papers.
Placing the box under a pillow, before
retiring, she did not think of it when
suddenly aroused from deep sleep,
and it was consumed with other things
of value.
The hotel was one of the landmarks
of that section of the county. Today
there is much criticism on the water
system of the town, and a decided
demand for better protection.

A Young Twister

Monday morning when the Mackay
train was about twenty miles out from

sengers was attracted by the hum
ming sound Of young tornado which
was making a trail across the desert
1t covered a strip a quarter of a mile
wide and extended into the sky as
far as the eye could reach. While it
would be referred to in Kansas as a
little whirlwind, to those not accustom
ed to tornadoes. 1t looked like a real

some adverse comments from parties
VINO do not understand road building.
1t has been conclusively demonstrat-
ed that roads graded to little more
than the surface of the ground under
natural conditions, soon spread out
to the original level and are no better
than before they We're graded. Mr..
Fackrell Is building high grades where
work is being carried on, allowing
for settling of dirt, which will leave
the roads sufficiently high to give
good drainage but not too high for
the convenience of the public. In the
south end of the county, where the
ground is swampy grading is being
carried on and roads are now assum-
ing delightfully."- passable condition.

Carlysle Merckley and Ole Farmer
are great lovers OF the goddess of
Terpsichore. So much are they cpr
amored of her that when the word is
passed out that there is a dance in
the county they're off. Not long since
the boys started for Thomas to
dance. Now Thomas is ten miles
away but that don't cut any figure
when one likes to dance. The night
was dark, and communning with natur
as they were, they did not notice that
it was necessary to drive SO that all
four wheels of their conveyance hit
a culvert. The result was that after
the horse had been detached from
the buggy it became necessary to pull
out the buggy. Both boys were soak
ed through with water from the ditch
into which they were thrown.
