ten and make = long story out Of
short one we win try to tell you tn
reason why we failed. and why tn
candle Of inspiration died out leavini
the world in darkness. There mus
be . starting point to everything, -
for this we will start with an apology
and an explanation. The apology is
for those who looked thru the pages
scanning infinitely every possible
.crsvice In the ads and elsewhere for
some symptoms of the Lincoln Lines
last week. and II Is these good people

for II is possible that they looked
long end earnestly, with the result
that they were as hard to find at
the proverbial needle in the hay
stack thereby causing case
for the optieian and leaving their
spirits very depressed because they
did not have their names Expressed.

Monday morning our good friend Will
Wayman came by, driving his rafting

Of Emmstt TO replenish his depleted
stock Of gas; his hot air was not

when We first drove up was that Mr..
Wayman has been trucking into the
Boise basin, hauling fruit and vege-
tablea, and minerals into the cities
of Quartzburg, Granite, Placeryille,
Old Oenterville. Grimes Pass, Pho
neerville and New Centerville, and
he had on an animal last trip, as the
correspondent went A. W. 0. l., and
and went with him 1.-THE expression

us and invited your humble servant
