The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-03-17

MISS ruin judy, d teacher III the
Thomas schools, spent the weekend
with Miss Dorothy Snyder. Miss Judy
taught in the Tilden district last year
and was very popular while here.
John Hutchinson, ST., of Riverside
spent last week here, visiting and
looking after his interests here.
Miss Dorothy Snyder attended the
on Friday.
Walter Coulson, of Dubois, cattle
buyer, was here this week looking
over the many herds which are for
sale in this vicinity.
Vero Chandler was an Aberdeen
visitor on Friday.
Prescott Burrell. of Presto, is here
trying to get cattle to pasture on
the summer range. A few of the
farmers have let out their herds.
Since SO many herd districts have
been created and such shortage of
pasture it is up to most of those
who have stock to either go out of
business or find a summer range.
Word comes by wire that a baby
girl arrived at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Archie Grover, of Blackfoot, on
Thursday morning. Mrs. Grover was
formerly Miss Birdie Cooper, of
Springfield. Both are we'll known
in this vicinity.
John Watson, of Blackfoot, pass
ed thru here on Thursdays train.
He has been down on his ranch on
the bottoms for a few days.
Mr.. Jensen and wife, who had
charge of the construction of the
bridge across Snake river, have left
and a new man has assumed the
foremanship of the work.
Mrs. L. Mont Rich is in Black
foot visiting with her brother, A.
Grover and family. She will be alb
sent for some time.
1t is reported that the Toland
Sheep company are having heavy
losses in their present Landing. The
lambs are arriving in such great
numbers that the shed room is not
large enough to take the proper care
of the ewes, and many of the lambs
are freezing. Another reason given
is all the ewes belonging to the COM
pany are young, and the milk secre-
ton is not enough to sustain the
life of the lambs. They are making
every effort to save them, vigil is
kept night and day, and they are
giving great numbers of them away
to any of the farmers who will help
them for a few hours. Luther Sat
terfield has had splendid success
with the lambs given him. He has
saved AZ. He feeds them on a bottle
and takes almost as much care Of
them as an infant would require,
however, he will have good start
in the sheep business. Johnnie Hutch
inson got IL of them, but didn't have
very good luck. Next morning they
were all dead but three.
A good many of the farmers are
working at the bridge, hauling gra-
vel and thereby earning few extra
dollars before the spring work be-
gins on the farm.
The Chandler boys, Walter and
Charles, are thinking OF renting the
Cooper ranch for the year. The deal
has not yet been closed.
H. K. Wiley made a trip to Poca-
tello last week.
The Amusement club is planning
to give a dance and supper In the
near future. There is absolutely no
excuse for complaining of nothing to
go to, for Springfield is the scene
of some sort of social activity al
most every week.
The ladies of the Domestic Science
club gave supper at the new school
building on Friday evening. For
week previous posters and hand bills
had been out announcing a mystery
supper and the people were all cur.
ious as to what the mystery would
be, but on arriving at the school
building they found the tables all
spread in very inviting manner and
on being seated they were handed
some neatly typewriter slips which
gave the menu or bill of fare for
the evening. Much enjoyment and
amusement was had in ordering their
suppers, and to many it was as much
of a puzzle as freshman in high
school attending his first banquet
when the menu is probably written
in French or some other unfamiliar
terms. The menu was as follows:
Native of Ireland, cold and tender
hearted; son of Noah, sliced; New
England brains; heavenly hash; lit
tie Indian; staff of life; belligerant
ram; hot berry drink, hot invest
ment; bite, but not bark; whipped
Jersey a la bushes; sweet mixtures,
which when served proved to be scol-
loped potatoes, cold chicken; ham
sliced; baked beans; salad; brown
bread; white bread; butter; coffee;
mustard; pickles; peaches with whip
ped cream and cake. The supper
was perfectly delicious and every one
had a good time. Later they all
repaired to the larger room, where
dancing was enjoyed by many until
a late hour. Mrs. Isaac and Ralph
Davis, both accomplished musicians,
furnished the music for the evening.
Not as large a crowd was out as
usually attended our socials, but
about $40 was taken in, which will
20 into the Improvement fund, which
will be used to identifying and I'M
proving the schools and other things.
Not every one is so fortunate as
to have such an efficient manager
as Judge Cowen has on his farm.
