A steady job improves a man
while he is improving his ability to

but more often it is an evidence

CHAPTER TX
Although the bill creating Logan
and Gilmore counties had passed both
houses of the legislature, the anti
diyisionists seemed not the least dis
concerted, but went to work with a
will and determination to undo the
work already done. The infamous
omnibus division BILL" as it was
STYLED by the HALEY press, was to be
contested in the courts. Some, III
mot all, of Haileys' best legal talent
entertained the idea that the pass
age of the bill by the council was the
act of a trump body, the work OF
eight Bumpers assembled without
warrant of law. Immediately pro

ate the two new counties-the Off
GERS of Alturas county refusing tx
recognize them even as de factC
counties.
Having signed the bill for tn;
creation of the new counties, with
out any further delay Governor
Stevenson took steps for setting the
machinery of the new counties into
motion. and appointed a set of off
GERS for each. The following off
GERS were appointed for Gilmore
county; Commissioners, Major f. p.

when the first attack on the new
county OF Gilmore was made by the

court upon Commissioners Cavanah.

them from organizing as a board. In
about ten days after this order WAS

An agreement was made between
the two conventions that each con
yention name a delegate and that the
third delegate should be named by
both conventions in join session.
The gentlemen honored by being
selected as delegates TO the consti-
tutiOnal convention from Elmore
county were Major Frank p. Cava-
nah of Rocky Bar and superintend-
ent OF the Mountain Goat mines,
also chairman of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, selected by the
Democratic convention; Augustine
Nj. Sinnott, justice of the peace at
Glenns Ferry and a fireman on the
Oregon Short Line railroad, selected
by the Republican convention, and
Homer Stull, n prominent attorney

Sinnott last spring left for a So
iourn in Oregon, and expects ere
long to return back to his old home.
Assessor Payne, upon the estab-
lishment OF the county government
at Rocky Bar, moved the Bulletin
plant from Mountain Home to the
county seat, and there established
Jhe Elmore Bulletin, which became
The official organ of the county.
During the following summer a
new paper was established in Noun
tain Home, called the Idaho Mail,
with s. d. Taylor of Banners Ferry
editor.
CHAPTER XI
The first session Of the District
court was held at Rocky Bar in
july, 1889, Judge Weir presiding.
The HALEY ring were still girt in
lighting armor, and the Alturas
county board OF commissioner de-
clared its boundaries as of old, and
the tax collector of that county sent
assessment notices to every taxpayer
IN Elmore county.
The next move was made by Sher-
If Kinney of Alturas, who sent a
deputy into Gilmore county to sum
mon jurors for the District court in
Haley, This deputy was promptly
arrested at Rocky Bar and held to
answer by Judge Ike Culp to the

CHAPTER X
The officers of the new county of
Gilmore qualified in the middle of
March, 1889, and were duly Install
I'd at Rocky Bar, the Temporary
5ounty seat, where they opened nm

Their localities.
Having taken possession of their
%sficts, the next step by the county
JIfico.s was the appointment of dep
titles.
Sheriff White appointed William
Mackay az u%nderSheriff and J. d.
Gray as jailor,
Assessor Payne appointed as his
deputy George l.. Wall, who had
worked faithfully in the interests of
the division of Alturas county. Wall
was also appointed a justice OF the
peace in Rocky Bar in place of G.
d, Golden, who resigned on becom-
ing county treasurer. A year az
terwa.d, Wall succeeded in being ap-
pointed a special agent of the U. S.
land office, and resigned his depu-
tyship. He WIS succeeded by John

! charge Of ~personating an officer.
The Territorial Supreme court de.
cided that the division bill was pass.
ed in lawful name and that the
counties of Elmore ard Logan were
,-gqlly created. The HALEY ring
still after the scalps cf the new
counties, took an appeal to the SUI
preme court OF the United States
from a decision of the supreme court
of the Territory.
In 1888 two churches were built
In Gilmore county st. James Epis-
copal church at Mountain Home and
st. Bridget's Catholic church at
Glon9s Fen.y. Later Baptist and
CONGREGATIONAL churches were built
at Mountain Home, and a Methodist
rhurch at Glenns Ferry. st. James
church, the pioneer church of the
county, was destroyed by fire in
1894, but was soon replaced by a
h ndsome brick structure. Rev
George Buzzell was the first rector
Of st. JamcS church. Rev. Father
Van der Donckt Yves the first Catho-
lie priest. Rev. II. M. Burr was the
founder Of the Congregational
church. Rev. Dean Hamilton was
the first resident minister, and Rev.
]. II. Barger was the first pastor Of
The M. e. church at Glenns Ferry.
None Of these gentlemen are now In
the county.
Meanwhile, the United States Su-
Dreme court affirmed the decision Of
the Territorial court, thereby estab-
iighing forever the legal existence
Of Elmore county, and Little Ell
more rejoiced and waxed strong.
The HALEY ring, however, were
still on the fight, and now watched
and waited for the coming constitu-
tional convention, in which might be
found their opportunity to retrieve
their lost ground. OF this, more
anon.

ton was called to order by Gov

GETTING THE SERVICE HABIT.

So many opportunities for service
have been found by the pupils Of the
! Winchester, Virginia, high school,
which is very active in the world Of
the Junior American Red Cross, that
the aim of these Juniors has been de-
scribed as Making service a habit
During the past school year, each
girl in the senior high gave one days
work to the school nurse, helping ex-
anime children. arranging the card In
dex, making out reports--in fact, any
thing the school nurse needed to have
done that day. Knowing that much Of
] this work was confidential, they at
once adopted the slogan. Keep your
eyes open and your mouth shut" They
carried this idea into all their, otner
volunteer service work. thus learning
the lesson of fidc.ity to confidence.
| Half day was given by the girls
and many Of the boys to the Red Cross
Executive Secretary. They did office
duty, answered the phone and made
appointments. The Commercial. De-
partment OF the high school rendered
and received valuable service by send
ing it's students in turn for period OF
one or two weeks to the Red Cross
executive secretary's office to do reg
ular office duty. Much of the cor
respondence OF the office was done by
these juniors.
Every week Of the school year, six OF
the girls, four seniors and two juniors,
gave two hours of service regularly
one day each, at the public library.
helping the younger children find
books and library references. This
service proved Of great value in the
girls civic work and in their English
and also gave them fine start to-
ward practical vocational work.
Two Of the senior girls were in
charge Of the community playground
during the summer vacation. A third
is the favorite story hour visitor at
the library.
It is the belief Of the faculty of the
Winchester high school that the ex-
tension of such volunteer service on
the part Of juniors in high school viii
constitute a corrective for the appa-
rent indifference to civic and social
conditions which now exist in many
localities.

attention to the fact that only 10 per

ingly large groups Of advertisers in

some OF the junks and sampans on the
