ROSE PEOPLE REPLY

The following communication was
handed in by some of the Rose peo-
pie, saying it represented the feel
ings of several who had talked mat
ters over and tried to reach conclu-
sions that were unbiased: ~
Concerning the Free Dance
We are indeed sorry that one of
the guests who attended the house
warming at our new amusement hall
was so disappointed with the event
that it seemed desirable to express
it in the public press. II the dances
did not suit, it would have been more
satisfactory to the host If the request
had been made at the time SO that
wishes of guests could be considered.
Considering that it was free
dance and that guests were merely
offered certain program, we feel
that it was almost as much OF an
offense to criticise it as it was an Of
tense for the committee to offer some
thing that was not desired or appre-
'ciated. If the writer Of the last week
report regrets the writing as much
as the committee regrets their failure
to please some Of the guests 1t were
better the whole matter were forgot
ten. The musicians wish it said that
they played what they were directed
to and it was understood that no
Raging or other dancing Of question
able kind was desired.

DOING THINGS RIGHT

Bingham county is to have one
more nice home of exceeding good
quality. Theodore Isaacson, OF West
Firth, has been specializing on pota-
toes for few years with the result
that he has discovered how to get
profits each year and big profits some
years. He replaced the old house
with a very beautiful bungalow and
now he is having one of the Gem
State Lumber company's circular
barns built. It is q marvel OF con-
venience and economy and should be
seen by every progressive farmer
when completed.
Mr.. Isaacson is taking another for
ward step now by having his yard
Handicapped by an expert and he has
purchased $50 or $40 worth of flow
ers and shrubs to plant in 1t. The
work was done by Stark Brothers
Nursery company, Of Louisiana, Mis-
souri,, and the goods furnished by
them to set according to the plan.
Mr. Isaacson is setting a worthy
example in every feature of his
undertakings and is to be commended
for the good work.

ROAD TROUBLES
QUICKLY VANISH

A queer incident happened on
Snake river bridge, Saturday morn
ing and when analysed from both
sides it had two angles. We observed
this much of It:
Mrs. Charles Dahman and Mrs.
LIE Meyer came into town In buggy
with the reach broken and an axle
sprung. They said that while cross
ing the bridge an auto had over
taken them and jammed the buggy
but no apology or explanation was
offered. They observed the number
of the car and found 1t in front OF
the First National Bank. The chief
of police was called and matters
were explained to him. The ladies
said they didn't want to injure or
prosecute anybody, but they thought
the offender, whoever he was, ought
to explain his actions and pay for
the repairs.
orion Andrus, of Basalt came
along to the car, smiling at every
body, and when confronted about his
queer driving he was profuse in his
apologies and offers Of reparation.
He said he was following along be-
hind the buggy on the bridge, rub
herring around like fellow will and
the buggy stopped suddenly and he
bumped the buggy wheel with the
fender of his car. He did not know
he had done any damage, but he
wanted to pay it whatever it was.
He really was caught by surprise for
he did not think of the rig stopping
short the way it did.
The ladies remembered that there
was plank sticking up on the floor
of the brige, and as they had a
basket of eggs and were afraid OF
jolting them they slowed up at the
joity place, and the horse had acted
rather stupid about it and stopped
stone still. They all laughed about
it. and Mr.. Andrus hiked to the
blacksmith shop to arrange for the
repairs at his expense.
There were no court fees and the
taxes will be no higher on account
of it.

THINGS TO FORGET

II you see tall fellow ahead of a
crowd.
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know Of a skeleton hidden
away,
In chest, and guarded and kept
from the day,
In the dark, and whose showing,
whose sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong dismay,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know Of thing that will
darken the joy
Of a man or a woman, girl or a
boy,
That will wipe out smile or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any sadness to
cloy,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.

SILLY PLACE-NAMEs

Some Blackfeet Indians, with a
taste and respect for nature that
shames the paleface, have protested
to the secretary of the interior
against the barbarous custom OF
lacking silly meaningless, vulgar
names to noble natural objects which
the Indians long ago had named with
appropriateness. A melodious word
with poetic significance and very
likely commemorative some charm
ing native legend. is calmly ignored
in favor of Jones Gulch, or Smiths
Falls, or Dolly Lake.
It is even worse in the matter OF
towns Nearly all the good names
in North America are those bestowed
by the Indians or the early French
and Spanish explorers. After them
came the Anglo-SaxOn, scattering the
landscape with his own patronymics
and other tasteless and meaningless
proper nouns.
We can understand why person
with the imagination of hitchine
post might prefer for beautiful
natural object his own name or thai
OF female relative, or some foolish
Grand Falls, High Peak, Swift
Rapids. Broad CANYON: but we can.
not understand why authority should
permit him to vandalize that way
Unless there is some excellent reason
to the contrary, authority ought tc
insist always upon the Indian names

FOR A SUMMER HERD

This is to inform the public that
we have sunk deep well in the
desert near the Twin Buttes and will
have summer herd Of cattle. We
will take charge of stock about the
middle Of April, and will guarantee
a good and sufficient water supply
for the whole season. The charge
will be $3.50 head for the season.
We are planning to continue to
handle cattle in this region for years
to come and ask stockmen to give us
a trial. We think we can keep your
cattle in such good condition that 1t
will be profitable to all parties con-
cerned.

WANT BONDING COMPANY
TO MAKE PAVING GOOD

After less than a year OF service
the 20-foot concrete pavement on
Aberdeen avenue has shown such
serious wear that Commissioner Meet
yesterday asked the city commission
to take steps to hold the bonding
company for contractors Pugh 4
Arena to its two-year guarantee. A
detailed report on both Aberdeen
avenue and Pacific avenue was sub
mitted to the commission by Com
missioner Neef, but the latter pave
ment, which was also the work OF
Pugh & Arena, is given relatively
clear bill Of health in comparison
with its companion job.
Acting ON the recommendation OF
the commissioner of public improve
ments, the city commission instruct
ed the city attorney to notify Pugh
& Arena and also the United States
Fidelity & Guaranty company, which
is the bonding company interested in
that contract, that the Aberdeen
avenue pavement Is proving defective
and that the city expects the bend
ing company to make good on It's
guaranty. The recommendation OF
the commissioner was that the con-
tractors and bonding company be
notified of the condition of the pave
ment on Aberdeen avenue, and that
the necessary action be taken against
the contractors and bonding company
in order to put the pavement, In
condition satisfactory to the city
commission as provided for In city
