George A. Lyon has been selected

felt need of strong arm for some
time.
Mrs John w. Curd and hel
daughter, Amy, went to Idaho Falls
Saturday, and returned Sunday.
p Robinson and wife made TRIP
to Fort Hall, Saturday, and Mrs. Rob-
inson came back Sunday to continue
with her school work, Monday.
Saturday was the last day of
school for the ninth grade pupils.
They have been working at their
studies on Saturdays and evenings
in order to finish the term early for
spring farming.
Rachel Dye came home Tuesday
from Rexburg where she visited some
friends for a week.
Glen Curd is here with his mother
for few days. Mr.. Curd has spent
part of the winter at Roberts, Ida
no, with his father, who has an ex-
tension contract in hand there, put
ting thru a canal. This is the second
season that J. w. Curd has been en-
gagged on this work and he isn't more
than half thru with it yet.
The Tyhee Dramatic company pre-
sented their play, "Mr. Bob" to a
very appreciative audience Saturday
evening. The M. i. A. members pre-
sented this play, and our young
ladies fairly idealized the lead parts.
The little Indian who did the calling
for the quadrilles was a wonder to
us all. He showed remarkable skill.
Bishop William M. Dye said our
young people will do we'll to pattern
after the styles of dancing given in
this play. We invite the players to
come back any time.
Last Friday three or four dogs
entered r. T. Quinn's yard and killed
two choice sheep, worth about $40.

where. One prominent sheep man
informed the writer that we can
not possibly oyerproduce in the mat
ter Of hay, for the reason that in
his estimation we could get several
hundred head OF sheep to feed any
winter, IL the hay could be had, his
claim being that It was about the
only place he knew Of where sheep
could be turned at once on to good
lambing grounds, with little or no
heavy brush to contend with.
Miss Bernice Dietrich left for a
business trip to Idaho Falls, Satur-
day. Both schools are closed for q
day as, our worthy principal also
jumped the hurdle, Friday, to make
visit to the home folk at Shelley.
We understand that school will open
Monday morning as usual.
Peter Jensen, the bridge foreman,
made a hurry up business trip to
Salt Lake, returning Monday. We
| are sorry to report that high water
is bothering at the bridge. Consid-
cradle drift lodging at times against
the false work has been worse than
/ a nuisance, having taken several
bents out, and down the river Mr..
Jensen expresses himself as dis
couraged and thinks Of trying to put
further construction off until after
the water subsidies. We hope and
believe afr conversations with old
residents, that the rise IN the river
at this time is only what we receive
every spring with the first warm
spell, and the rise from now on till
the first of May will not be appreci-
able. We are informed that the COM
missioners will insist that the work
proceed and the citizens sincerely
wish this if it is possible.
Another fall of the beautiful visit
ed this section Wednesday night, but
weather conditions at present are
more promising.
Several of the local patrons of the
beanery have been suffering with a
visitation of the grip. The list in
cludes Mr.. Hurdle and Mac, who
should know better.
John Hutchinson, Jr., who owns
valuable farm almost in town, is
frequent business visitor. The
Hutchinson brothers are opponents
of the fact that hard work, and good
management go hand and hand in
money making and farming, and
raised splendid crops last year, es-
pecially as to sugar beets and alfalfa
seed.
The Grand View people, assisted
by some local talent, are busy re-
hearsing for the production of the
comedy, What Happened to Jones. :"
Some of the participants have I'M
usually good talent and we predict
this will be one of the best troupes
showing here.

herded here during the past two
weeks en- route from their winter
quarters in the Fort Hall bottoms

ing use of the unallotted grazing land

One of the most pleasant social
events held in Fort Hall lately was

Mrs. Sno A. Anderson at the Fort
Hall boarding school, Monday night.

ing and refreshments were served.

again the votes were equally divided
between the affirmative and negative
sections, 40 votes q side, but there
was no bitterness shown by the fac
lions. P. J. Felstesd challenged the
vote Of Mr.. Alcorn, but the matter
was soon settled in Mr.. Alcorn's
favor by the judges.

A copy Of the newly printed rules
governing dances given under the
Iauspices of the M. I. A. was read at
the opening of church service last
Sunday. It is required that dances
open and close with prayer, shall
commence at $3.50 and last until
1880 o'clock; Raging is absolutely
forbidden, and also all the new
forms of demoralizing dancing; the
three-step and five-step will be elm
mated as soon as possible without
unduly antagonizing the young folks.
The old time dances, waltz, quadrille
and lancers, which the older people
know to be moral because they them
selves danced them. and enjoyed
them very much, will be revived.
At the Sunday church service Bis
hop Williams sprung a surprise on
the. young and single men of the
ward that caused them to turn pale
and sit down hard in their seats.
All sermons preached by the Latter
Day Saints are delivered extemporan-
eously, and since the home mission
service has for some time relieved
the young men of the fear of sud-
den calls to the pulpit, it was like
a bomb among them when the bis
hop rose and said: "Will brother
Orlando Jones come forward and
speak to us?''
Leo Murdoch, Leo Fackrell, Os-
car Williams and Jacob Van Orden
were in turn called forth to the pull
pit and responded to the call of their
superior, altho some of the boys had
never before looked an audience in
the face, and went forward with
quaking knees. But without excep-
ton they were game; and obviously
their sermons were short. Peter
Van Orden closed the meeting with
a discourse on the life of Job.

the school in general. After two
years of successful work in the gram

of the most efficient, painstaking serv-
ice our school has ever had in my
twelve years as member of our

Mrs. Reed is woman of strong
personality, attractive qualities, and
sound character, gifted with that rare
ability to inspire both teachers and
pupils to a better and higher stand

very few, if any, of the many instruct

ter service or accomplished more last

Reed.
She was always a strong dscipIin-
arian, showing remarkable executive
ability and was held in the highest ,s-
TEEN by her teachers because of the
inspiration and assistance she was
able to afford them.
If the voters of Sedgwick County

their schools up to the highest posi-

their confidence well placed by giving
Mrs. Reed their hearty support at the

In the meetings which Mr.. Holloway
held in your district he was asked at
several places and upon several occa-
sions concerning MIR. Scott's record in
the legislature with reference to the
Prohibition Law and Mr.. Holloway
simply gave the facts as they appear in
the House Journal. These records can
be shown to anyone who wishes to in
vestigate the matter az to the truth of
the statements Mr.. Holloway made.
in the passage of our law enforcement
act, the bill was prepared and gone over
carefully by the Leagues attorneys,
then presented to the Senate through
Senator Peterson, who had rewritten
the same and revised it in some of its
minor provisions. The senate passed it;
then it went to the House, and as
passed by the Senate the bill was in
splendid condition. In the House we
found, however, some well organized
opposition to the bill, this opposition
being headed by Nj. +. M. Sabin, the
floor leader, and an attempt was made
to incorporate into the bill the same
amendments which were proposed in
the Senate by Senator Charles Hamil-
ton, of Denver, the acknowledged
leader of the liquor people in the 20th
General Assembly. At the time, Mr..
Hamilton was the owner of the Oxford
Hotel and bar. These amendments
were voted for by almost every MEM
ber of the house, but the Senate did
not concur. A conference committee
was appointed and reported OH the
bill in the form in which it was finally
passed and which is our present pre-
hibition law, and upon final passage in
the House, Mr.. Scott, as stated before,
was among those "Absent, Excused or
Not Voting" and it is up to him to
explain why he did this.

Saloon League in its comments on can

election:

Dear Friend:

He simply escaped the roll call, for
