The item in the Republican last
week, relating to the Russell post
master refusing to weigh the mail etc.,
was not altogether correct. Mr.. Mills
was away for some time, and during
his absence the mail was not weighed,
but since his return it has been
weighed according to instructions. Mr..
Mills has not been notified to take the
civil service examination, but has been
notified to file new bond, which he
executed this week. He does not in
tend to resign the office.
Last Saturday night the Odd Fellows

things sold for less than half their
worth, while other articles brought
more than they would cost new. Mr.

legislature.
Jefferson county, which is formed
out of the southwestern part of FIRE.
mont county, has 100000 acres of
land, of which $4,000 are improved
agricultural lands;it has 5000 population
and 100000 assessed valuation.
The county seat in located at Rigby.
Madison county has 5000 population,
100000 acres OF improved farm lands
and $12, O0O, 600 total assessed valuation.
Rexburg, the county seat has 1000
population.
The creation of these new counties
will add two senators to our legislature,
but will not increase the membership
Of the house, as Fremont county will
lose two representatives by the crea,
ton Of these counties from its territory.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Dating back practically to the first
settlement Of this continent, the custom
has prevailed of setting aside one day
in each year as dav of thanksgiving
to Almighty God for his manifold bless
ings to our people.
This praisworthy custom should ever
be perpetuated. Each year brings its
own blessings and rewards, and
grateful and devout people should ever
be willing to voice their obligations to
Divine Providence for His sheltering
protection and abundant moral and
material gifts vouchsafed to them.
But in addition to thanking God for
our great material progress and for the
blessings of forest, field and mine, we
should seek divine guidance in the
proper use of that which comes into
our hands.
We shonld pray to be delivered from
the spirit of extravaganza which affects
not only our individual but also our col
lective actions, and which yearly adds
to the cost of living. In its place we
should seek to have inculcated that
spirit of thrift which characterizes our
forebears, and upon which the perma-
nent prosperity of the individual and
of the state must ever rest
| In obedience to this long-established
custom, |, John M. Haines, Governor
of the State of Idaho, do join with the
President of the United States in des-
ignating Thursday, November q, 1918,
as day OF public thanksgiving for the
people of this state. / ask that all
business ca.'es be laid aside and that
the day be ooserved in all our churches
and homes as day OF thanksgiving
and prayer,
In Testimony Whereof, | have here
