We are very glad, indeed, to note
the improvement in Mr.. Foss How
land. When Foss left us a few weeks
since he was so crippled up with
rhrdmatlcm that he could hardly walk
he is as lively as ever now and APP
parentiy the civilized eats he got
while away did him world of good.
He brought our talking machine up
with him, and it is dandy, all right.
The Easter program is practically
complete now and the Sunday School
and our friends are working hard to
make it success. We sincerely hope
the weather man condescends to
smile on us Easter day.
The debate Saturday, Mar. "a, was
we'll attended and was probably the
best handled of any debate so far. The
subject, Resolved that Art is More
Beautiful to the Eye Than Nature"
proved a good one. The affirmative
won the debate. The judges acknow-
Lodging that it was solely through
superior oratory as they (the judges)
were all in favor of nature. The
next subject will be, Resolved that
Fire is More Destructive than Water"
Magnussen for the affirmative and
Rowland negative.

accommodation train. Seldom on
time. She was over two hours late
Sunday night on account, so one of
the crew said, of waiting at Caliente

We are glad to report that Ross A.
Brown struck water on his homestead
at 1873 feet. Mr. Brown reported a
popularity about his we'll at the low

encountered. Another well, bored

the same condition prevails in some Of
the wells near Enterprise.

fering from a severe cold.
