George B. Raine arrived Monday
from Lost river, where he has been
employed in the yards of the Idaho
Lumber company at Moore. He made
the trip in two days on skis as nc
trains were running. He reports a
shortage of -four, oil and coal at
Moore.
An instance came to our attention
recently that should appeal to the
sympathies of all tender hearted peo-
pie, a bachelor reports that few
nights ago, while in bed, he frooze
both his feet.
]. A. Campbell had the misfortune
to lose a two-year-old heifer a few
days ago. 1t just wandered out OF
the neighborhood and did not return.
w. G. Wieand, H. E. Abbott, N. R.
Howard and N. P. Geyer made a
drag and have been dragging the
roads. The snow was two feet deep
on the level here before it thawed.
Practically all the frost has left the
ground and the water is soaking in
as the snow melts. Winter wheat
under the snow is green and pros
poets are for good crops on the dry
farms this year.
Mr.. Willicke, of Taber, passed thru
here on foot Tuesday, on his way to
Blackfoot.
Our school attendance has been
very small this month on account OF
the deep snow. Also our literary So
ciety has adjourned until more con-
venient season.
An eight horse team pulling half
a ton of hay was seen here this week.
The dry farmers of the desert
would much rather that the county
commissioners secure a good county

they believe it would benefit the
whole county more.

We have worked hard. for years to
secure a telephone system, but now
we find the old canal line served our
needs more adequately than the new.
practically all Of the people were de-
sirous of a telephone installed in
their homes, but only stations have
been installed at the hotels in various
towns. While the merchants use
the phone in business with Blackfoot
and Pocatello, the residents use of
it was almost entirely in calling ply
sicians. Aberdeen had the nearest
doctor and so Aberdeen was the place
we needed connection with. Now If
we wish to call Aberdeen, we have
to call via Blackfoot, Pocatello and
American Falls, which would be a
very unsatisfactory way of doing.
While, no doubt, the conditions will
be improved upon before long, the
people had anticipated better SER
vice.
Mrs. Henry Berg and two small
daughters went to Pocatello the first
of the week to attend the Roundup,
but very unfortunately Mrs. Berg be-
came i'll and only attended one day.
She returned to Blackfoot and is

Mrs. Willis.

Nelson was precipitated over the
bank with the rocks.
e. N. Wells returned Wednesday
from Nampa, Caldwell and other
points he has been visiting. Mr..
Wells was exceedingly glad to reach
home He was showed in for some
time, but by hiring a team and rig,
he finally reached a more temperate
zone and proceeded homeward. Be-
fore reaching here he became mixed
up in collision of freight and
passenger train. Mr.. Wells took first
prize at the Idaho seed convention
on alfalfa seed. A. ]. Snyder re-
ceived third on alfalfa seed, SO
Springfield still holds the blue ribbon

DAMAGING
JOURNALISM

The Sage family, of Shelley, has
for the past four years been the OBJ
ject of foul attacks from number
of souces at Shelley, Blackfoot and
Boise, and an example of how every
move of theirs is seized upon and
heralded to their detriment is shown
in the following incident:
J. B. Sage and wife left recently
for a visit with his sister at Long
Beach, California They were accom-
panied by Mr.. Sage's sister and her
husband, and the little party had
every prospect of enjoying a happy
respite from all care and business.
After their departure the report was
circulated that they had left the
country and their whereabouts was
a mystery. The story Of one Mr..
Nicholson, who broke up in business
and slipped away to. Canada a few
years ago, was recalled to peoples
memory, carrying more or less re-
Election upon the business standing
of Mr.. Sage. A Blackfoot paper pub
lished the following item that famed
the flame Of suspicion:
IL was T0pOTLeu III DldChlooI IhiS
morning that Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Sage
had suddenly and mysteriously dis
appeared from their home in Shell
ley"
If the Sages had been favorites OF
the parties circulating these reports
they would in all probability have
been circulating statements like this:

~ B. Sage, the genial proprietor
of the celebrated Sage dry farm OF

the city. owner of the Shelley Alfalfa
Meal mills and a heavy investor In
several other local enterprises, left
with his wife and sister and her hus-
band. Tuesday morning, for rev
weeks visit in sunny southern Call

"Mr. Sage said prior to his depar-
ture that his visit had no political
or other significance other than that
he wanted to show "the folks" q
good time. and that he will not be

ing campaign, but will support any
