Improving Service in
Dry Cleaning Opt.
More Machinery Added to the Up
tO-Date Cleaning Depart
ment Of the Toggery
QUICKER AND BETTER METHODS

The dry-cleaning department ot
the Toggery is gradually being made
very up-to-date cleaning establish.
ment, and the addition of another
piece of machinery this week makes
their shop almost complete for dry
cleaning work. The latest addition
is an apparatus for cleaning white
goods and silk materials, that pre-
viously called for hand work or for a
tuGn thru the wooden cleanser. The
former method was slow and when
the latter was used so often the little
bits of lint that gradually collected
from the dark woolens worked into
the white goods and that was not
satisfactory.
Right fresh, pure gasoline must
be used in the barrel where the white
goods and silk materials are cleansed
each time, but the woolens can be
cleaned in gasoline that has been
used before, after it is settled or
purified with chemicals.
After the cloths revolve, first one
direction then the other, for one
hour, they are wrung as dry as pos
sible by machinery then placed in
steamer and turned slowly, passing
from over a hot steam pipe to
cold draught, which process extracts
the OrdOr of gasoline.

BRINGING THEM IN AGAIN

Editor Trego spent most of last
week and most Of this in the country
visiting subscribers, active and in
active. Those who are inactive are
being rapidly put back on the list. He
put in several days on the reserva-

last few days west of Blackfoot.
The news articles and stories that
have commenced to appear as result

Riverton Community
Wants improvements
School Accommodations Not Sufficient
to Meet the Demand
Of Growth
OTHER THINGS EXPECTED SOON

| Riyerton is the community be
tween the rivers, below Blackfoot
that has school house of one room
and the people want several thing.
in the way of improvement. The
thing they want most, according tc
the expressions given to the writer
OF the Republican, is rural mail
route that will give service between
the rivers, cross at one Of the lower
bridges, or at bridge yet to be
built at the lower end of the settle
ment and follow on thru the settle
ment on thru the reservation, to the
vicinity of Gibson and then follow
the Yellowstone highway back to
Blackfoot. Every one in that
country has to come to Blackfoot or
go to Fort Hail. for their mail and
it Is considered too much trouble and
they do without mail as much as
they can.
They want a larger school house,
with accommodations for two or
three teachers. A number have been
saying that they are fifty years be-
hind the times in their school work,
because they have but one teacher
for about fifty pupils and the teach
ing has to be done on the old, old
plan. They had a bonding PROPOSE
tion submitted some time ago and
there was so much dissatisfaction
with the plan and the location pro-
posed that the bonds did not carry.
Since that time matters have been
discussed and the plans changed
somewhat, and good many people
are in favor of bmitting the
question and of bonding and build
ing in that way as it has become a
necessity.
The people of Riverton want an
extension of the telephone service;
they want electric lights as soon as
they can get them and they want
road !! improvement as fast as they can

five-ton trucks to the county early
this 9,spring, conferred Wednesday
with the county commissioners as

trucks, took the responsibility of re-
fusing them.
An exchange was arranged by
which the Cooper company
will replace the tru ks with two
three and half ton trucks and give
a cash refund of something like
$4,000.
