under water. The current on the OPP

were swept off their feet, carrying
the buggy and men down stream. A
man living near saw what had hap
pened and ran to the nearest farm
house for help. DR.. Ludden of Miner

with another man, came to the stream

dared and threw a rope to the man
and finally managed to rescue him.
KeIIey's body was found further down
stream. The drowned horses were
carried two miles by the current.

FRIDAY, JAN. Z, 1916.

A merchant in Iowa has taken
up the question of mail order
competition from a new angle.
He sends out to local people who
are in the habit of buying from
catalogue houses a large blank
order sheet and invites anyone to
use any regular mail order cata-
logue and fill it out with speci-
fications for any sort of merchan-
disc they may need. He offers
to fill any order at the catalogue
prices and pay half the freight.
Naturally he requires his money
in advance, but he guarantees
everything to be fully up to the
standard of mail order house
goods. We suggest that some of
our local merchants try the
scheme here in Idaho.

bed. He writes II arose the next
morning feeling fine; in fact 1 had
entirely forgotten about the hike and
went out for four-hour drill in the sun
as spry as ever"

The Prospect Public School has be-
stirred itself and a heating and ventil-
ating plant is being installed in the school
house. It was badly needed, and it is hop
ed that the people Of the district will
build the vestibule or enclosed porch,
to the building, for the comfort Of their
children The County School Commits
sion have been after this district to put
the school building in better condition
for several years, and the recent in
spection. which really amounted to con-
demnation Of the building for school
purposes, has probably forced action. 1t
seems that it is necessary to speak plain
ly to some people to get them to act
for their own interest, or at least for the
interest Of their own children. However
it is all right. and we hope the children
will appreciate what has been done for
them.
