the Burdick family of West Point, Sun
day, at the Helen Mae ranch, and most
delightful time was had by all parties
Everybody busy-cannot find near men
enough to supply the demand. The de-
velopment work being done at Thousand
Springs cannot get men sufficient to car
ry on the work as they would like.
Wendell has more autos for town OF
its size than any with which we are ac-

the crossings

fixing.

we love to see, and it is greatly appreci-
ated by Mr., Coolidge and family.

tract, and especially for Wendell, as this
is the nearest point, and here all the sup

John Stuart Clark visited friends i'm
Wendell and vicinity over Sunday. He
is at present promoting very successfully
a line of railroad from Twin Falls by wav

the proposed line from Wendell to Ha-
german, thus uniting the North and South
side tracts. This is very promising en-
terprise and at this time looks as though
it would be built very soon, and taken
in connection with the line to be built
from Bull or Twin Falls to Wells. Neva-
da, it will make splendid outlet for the
of the North Side tract to
