The Brown-Hart Company

stop his machine while horse vehicles
are passing such points of danger,
We do not believe in special road
privileges to any one, but we be-
lieve with these ladies that there are
circumstances under which seem
ing discrimination becomes absolute
ly necessary. Because there are un-
fortunately a few motor drivers on
the road who seem devoid of any
consideration for the lives of their
fellow men, and therefor this matter
needs attention at the hands Of COM
missioners..
Scott Wilkins has rented from Mr..
Brienhalt the 40 acre tract he recent
ly bought from Robert Hoare. Scott
is now hauling manure at the rate
of IA loads day and expects to
plant Is acres of sugar beets. He
also has secured the mares that Mr..
Brienhalt purchased from Mr.. Hoare.
Mrs. J. S. Alfred and children are
staying with Mrs. Allred's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. o. Daley, of River
side, while Mr.. Alfred is tending his
sheep out on the desert.
Bill Sjostrom passed us on the
road from town Saturday in a new
Ford car and as Bill sat at the wheel
with all the dignity of an old chauf-
feur we suppose the car belongs to
him. Maybe he is getting ready for
the results of that write-up in the
bachelors column.
O. E. Parsons and his cousin, Ed,
and a number of southeast Thomas
ties have purchased fine imported
horse.
Robert H. Hoare left early last
week for Joseph, Utah, to assume the
management of fine mercantile
business which he has recently
bought in that thrifty little stock
raising town. Mr.. Hoare bought out
Mr.. Brienhalt, and is enthusiastic
over the future prospects for the
establishment. Mr.. Hoare came here
a few years ago to become partner
of Alex. Coleman, and later he &C
quired Mr.. Coleman's interest in the
business. The store prospered under
his efficient management, in spite of
the fact that it was once burnt down
with large stock of goods. Then
he sold the store and bought farm,
to have rest from the
physical and mental strain of bust
ness life. But the old habits and the
call of the counter have grown too
strong and he has gone back to store
keeping again. Mr.. Hoare has been
a live citizen, a good neighbor and
progressive church worker and the
gain of the community he is moving
into is our own loss. His family
will follow him after about two
weeks to take possession of their
new home. Harry is going to assist
his father in the management of the
business. Mr.. Hoare takes with him
the very best wishes of his old
friends and neighbors and they are
confident he will be successful in the
new field.
Mrs. Elizabeth Bell visited with
the writer Sunday afternoon and
on The Idaho Republican
said: 1--WE appreciate it more than
any paper we get, and should miss
1t more than we would our Salt Lake
paper"
We understand that on Thursday,
April IS, the commissioner passed
favorably upon the petitions for con-
solidation of school districts No. IL
and No. 4S. The opposition was
by John W. Jones, while
Bishop Williams led the fight for
those in favor of consolidation. We
are advised that the anti-consolida-
ton party will appeal from the de-
cision to the district court. One citi-
zen asked the writer ii our school
funds could be wasted in employing
to conduct such fight.
We replied that we knew of no law
for such misappropria-
lion of school funds, but that we be-
Lieved there was no law against the
factions using all the pri-
vate funds they chose, so long as
hey paid for it themselves.
Mr.. Deviney bought a bunch of
hogs of Robert Hoare and we saw
Swan Berg driving toward Mr..
Deviney's on Saturday with a load Of
hogs, so the. inference Is that Mr..
Deviney is buying into the hog bust
less quite extensively.
The base ball team has been Or
yanized with Theron Fackrell as
manager. We look to see the boys
10 something this season.
There were no church services at |
