III Paragraphs

Mrs. Rev. Leitch has been confined
to the house for the past week or more,
with a severe cold.
The Hill City train ran off the track,
one day this week, and help had to be
sent up to get it back so that it would
run. The rotary snow pillow made one
trip up to the line, also.
H. NJ Coffman shipped car of hogs
last week, which went through Salt
Lake to Los Angeles, California. He
expects to have another car to ship late
in the sping, from his ranch near Burmah
A Sunday School is to be organized in
School District No s, north of town.
on Sunday, the 25th. There are good
many people there who have wished for
this kind of service, and a strong, act
i've organization is expected. Rev. Leith
will go out to assist in the work.
The Recorder editor made hurry-up
business trip to Boise, the first of the
week. There isn't much activity in the
capital city, but the people are looking
forward to the building of the Boise
Basin timber railway this season, and
the opening of the big sawmills which
will make a big pay roll and heavy
freight shipments for years to come.
Mrs. Rays is the recipient of new
Knabe player piano--one of the finest
gifts ever put into any home, anywhere.
The Rays home was the scene of de-
lightful party, Tuesday evening, friends
who had gathered in to hear and enjoy
the new instrument 1t is of magnificent
tone and workmanship, and choice
collection of records makes it a constant
source of enjoyment in the home.
w. S. Parkhurst was up to Cannot,
one day this week, to complete the work
of organizing the Gannett local of
the Farmers Society of Equity.
They have almost so members. The
Haily local was organized last week, but
it was stormy night and the attendance
was small. They left the charter open
for later meeting, and count on good
number of members. A local is to be
organized at Bellevue III the near future
The Richfeld Cornet Band, will make
their first appearance in public on Feb.
23rd at which time they will give a
grand concert and box social. The boys
will be assisted in this concert by local
talent. On the day of the concert the
band will appear on the street at noon
and give a short concert. More about
this event will be said later If you
want to know if the band can play, ask
Mr.. Micklewait he knows.
Some of the local men who had count
ed on spending the winter in the railroad
shops at Pocatelo, have decided they
60 at least for the present.
Several hundred men who had been at
work in the shops were laid off recent
y, following a general policy of cutting
Town forces at all the railroad shops
llong the line 1.-THE total cut on the
Short Line, U. P. and 0. R.
N. systems amounts to more than a
thousand men, if the Recorder is cor
ectly informed.
Probably no one will question the gen
raj verdict that more kinds of weather,
nd more frequent changes, have never
cen seen here than what has been given
ut during the past week or ten days.
n general it has been a snowy week; it
doubtful if anywhere near so much
now has ever before fallen in the same
sngth of time, as during the past few
avs. The weather has been mild enough
hat the snow hasn't piled up to any
reat depth, but the moisture is there,
nd the dry-farmer will have the finest
tart this spring he ever dreamed of
aving.
