rhA rs he 90 49,
White Bird to Boles, is a mighty busy
man, having besides the mail contract
a number of other business interests
that keep him steadily on the job. We

to midnight run to White Bird, j.
Loyal Addison, who brought party up
from White Bird in his machine, having
stripped the gears ON the return trip
and as a result Burley extended first
aid, taking the people to White Bird
and returning at three in the morning
with the machine. When it comes to
making pinch drives, Burley is the
boy, no roads are too rough or nights
too dark for the jolly corpulent chauffer
to get there.
G. j. Wright, U. s. Commissioner at
White Bird, will leave Idaho county for
Montana about the first of August and
after a trip through Glacier National
Park, will seek a location in our neigh
boring state" Gus has been resident

Der of years and has made many friends

Mrs. G. W.. Slusser and children in
tend leaving here for Colorado the first
of the week, making the trip overland
in the Slusser ear and in company with
Ben knorr and family who will reside
in Denver in the future. DR.. Slusser as
yet has not located but will probably
take up the practice of his profession in
some live town in the fertile Arkansas
Valley in Colorado. He likes that sec
ton and in letter to the writer stated
he thought he would probably locate
there. He has just about given up the
idea of joining the army for the pres
ent on account of so many seeking the
places available in the special branch in
which he desired to enlist.
w. A. Lindquist, the congenial and
obliging station agent of the Camas
Prairie line att this point, has been pro-
noted to the position of auditor and
claim agent of the same line and will
leave July 20 to assume his new duties.
Mr.. Lindquist has made an excellent
man for the company here and handled
difficult position nicely to the mutual
satisfaction of the company and the
public. local railroad agent has no
pleasant job and when he succeeds in
pleasing both the public and the com
pany it is our opinion he is quite
diplomat. In social way the Lind
quist IS have made many friends who
will regret to learn of their leaving but
them upon the fine posi-
ton Mr.. Liudquist has been promoted
to. They will make their home in Lew
iston in the future.
