Rock January first is true, 1t is all
news to Captain A. Il. Hazard. Only
the mule teams have been disposed of,
because the boys have no more use for
them.
Dancing seems to be the order of
the day at present, so a big 'hoe
down" is billed for Shuck's school
house, December Is; and another is
announced for Slate Greek Dec. Goth.
Both entertainments are to be given
for the benefit of the schools.
A family residing in an isolated Sec
ton of Snake river country came into
town this week, and the children,
ranging from five to ten years old re-
spectively had never before seen
town, store, post office, electric lights
or heard the buzz of an automobile.
Some of the little folks had never
been to church or Sunday school, so
they were some busy Saturday and
Sunday taking in the sights.
A sermon in which every sentence
scintillated~ sparks, similar to a fly
ing emery wheel in contact with a
razor blade was delivered by the Rev.
J. S. Anderson at the Methodist church
Sunday night. The subject of the dis
course was, what is it to be Chris
tian,' and the text was taken from
one of the exacting passages of st.
Luke's gospel. In the remarks that
followed the minister laid emphasis
upon the cardinal requirements of the
religious life which he defined as cross
bearing and self denial. He said there
was little Christianity in the world
today when measured by the plumb
line of New Testament ethics; and
roundly scored the psalm singing hypo-
critics of the modern church who sit
around the communion table Sundays
and spend the balance of the week
fleeing their fellow man. "Avarice
and greed for gold" said the preacher
lis the sin of too many Methodists."
l was once the pastor of a certain
rich farmer in the southern part of this
state who professed sanctification. This
man could sit on his vertebrea in the
Amen" corner and punctuate the
ministers remarks with lusty "hallu-
jah's, but was so badly infected with
lust for money that he never gave
one penny for the uplift of his fellow
man. Such Christianity brings con-
tempt upon the church and will not
stand the test of the Judgment day.
The ministers sermon has been the
chief topic of conversation this week
and created something of a sensation.
While Rev. Anderson breaches the
truth, he does it in a manly genteel
way without offending his auditors.
To jump a black tail buck in open
territory; stand and watch the big
fellow travel around you in merry-go-
round fashion, at a distance of seventy
five yards; empty your rifle and never
touch hair was the experience of
Ralph Henly while hunting last week.

Residents of Salmon river country
awoke Friday morning and found the
ground covered with about two inches
OF snow. The ermine drapery passed
away however with a few hours of
sunshine, and by Sunday evening had
completely disappeared. Snow in this
part of the country at this season of
the year is an extraordinary circum-
| stance.
