Ray Hartley and Will Tucker drove
to Caldwell Monday to attend the
horse market day.
April 30 the Crescent Club were
very nicely entertained at the home
of Mrs. Charles Cantrall. The weather
was unfit for travelling and but few
were present. The club presented the
out going president with a cut glass
set in appreciation of her wise dir
ection of the clubs affairs the past
year, which has been a very busy one.
While these members had already
their hands full of home duties, yet
the pleasure of doing good, useful
deeds outside with such an inspiring
leader has brought the members
closer together and helped to make
even the added duties encountered
source of pleasure and profit to the
club members. Election of officers
resulted as follows: Mrs. C. P. Hart
ley, president; Mrs. VIM. McCrossin,
vice president; Mrs. Cliff Tucker, re-
cording secretary; Mrs. Ed. Modin,
treasurer; Mrs. G. A. Warden, finan-
cial secretary.
Mrs. Jack Shinn accompanied Mrs.
Ed Modin and young son to Star
Monday, taking the interurban from
there for days stay in Boise.
Mrs. j. l. Hit has been making
three trips a week to the ranch near
the flume at Black canyon, where she
is kept busy cooking up good things
for Mr.. Hit and son to eat, while he
is cultivating this ranch.
On Tuesday C. P. Hartley displayed
the South Slope orchards to his guest,
DR.. j. A. L. Bradfeld of Lacrosse,
Wis, who was so interested, he took
a number of views in the vicinity of
Rocky Point. After the snow storm
of Friday morning, it would be hard
to realize that fruit trees were un-
affected, but the views show for them
selves.
The owner of the large flock of
sheep over the hills south and west of
Rocky Point, meet with serious loss
during the recent cold storm. The
sheep, which had just been sheared,
suffered from exposure, 200 of them
dying. The loss is estimated at con-
siderable.
The handsome White Collie "Dick"
belonging to Anthony Peterson drop
ped dead early Monday morning at the
South Slope fruit ranch, from what
was thought to have been a stroke

from Bangor, Maine.
The patrons and school children in
the South Slope school made merry
with heaps of ice cream, cakes, sand
witches and all sorts of good things on
last Thursday. The program which
followed led out with a debate, with
Mrs Warden on the affirmative and B.
Baker on the negative. REGULATIONS
and music made most enjoyable oc-
casion for all and Miss Kelly closed
most successful term of school on the
South Slope.
During the high wind of Thursday
trash floating down the Canyon canal
caused a jam, the ditch overlooked,
the bank and flooding G. A
Warden's ranch. Fifty men could not
have taken the weeds from the ditch
fast enough to have saved the ditch
bank at the rate they were moving
past Rocky Point.
From present indications, if the
ditch bank that borders the new high
way for half mile or SO is to be made
presentable and Crescent Drive not
