The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1914-03-12

Sunday was the warmest day so far
this year, the thermometer registering
AZ degrees in the shade by the govern
ment thermometer The highest before
that this spring, was Al degrees. Of
course, it has been lot warmer than
that in the sunshine.
The supreme court has refused to re-
open the school district boundary case,
recently decided in favor of Richfield
and Jerome. This finishes the matter,
and these two districts will keep the
territory and the revenues assigned to
them by the commissioners.
A family by the name of Willis. late
ly from Missouri, arrived in Richfeld
this week, to look around They
have been visiting out in Washington,
and in Montana, but thought they could
move on little farther, at least as far
as Richfeld They are we'll pleased with
this country.
Prof Gorow took a class of boys
from the high school, out to the Wealth
erwax- Davidson farm, last Friday, to
look over the Berkshire hog farm as
part of their nature class work They
were much interested in what they saw
of a fine farm, and this is only one of
several such trips they are to take be-
fore the year closes.
The company barn, which was almost
month in transit from it's old location
on the company farm, is now in place
and is being put into condition for use.
By radical change in the interior ar
rangsment, it will now have stall ca
pacity for twenty horses. 1t will add
much to the comfort and convenience
of caring for the stock on the company
farm.
Sleighing is still fairly good out in
the country, where there is lots of snow.
But there is practically none in town,
so that those who come in on runners
either have to stop out in the edge of
town, or make the last part of their
journey sliding over bare ground. There
is no expectation of the country roads
being dry for at least two weeks, and
perhaps longer than that.
Through the efforts of Secretary
Parkhurst of the Farmers Society of
Equity, number of cream cans and
egg cases have been brought to Rich
ield for distribution among the far
ners who can fill them and send them
n to the Equity distribution agency for
ale. Those who wish to consider ship
ling eggs or cream, can see Mr.. Park
lurst.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Biggs and fam
ly returned the first of this week from I
Telt, over in Fremont county, where
hey have been visiting for the past
hree months with Mr. and Mrs. Talley, {
1rs. Biggs' parents. They report
ne winter, though are glad to get
ack to the farm ready for spring
york. Mr.. Talley has store and the
ostoffice at Felt, and they are prosper t
lg finely.
w. H. Leek and wife, of Soldier,
isited over Sunday with DR.. Davies,
Ir. Leek's cousin. The Leeks came
rom northeast Pennsylvania, which Y
lace they left to get out of deep snow
nd the long, cold winters. They got
n to the Soldier prairie, and found that :
lille they had lodged the billiards and r
he snow drifts of the East, they had T
ound 'em twice as bad out here. Itisn't .
Uncommon for the snow to measure five .
} six feet deep on the level, on Camas 2
rairie; and when it gets really deep,
lie arithmetics all but run out of fig h
res. There was more than two feet of r
low on the level when the Leeks came II
own here. n
