Furious, Melinda tore the note into

been the trouble. I've run after him
too much. / shall never write to him.

And Melinda kept her word.
Peter Moffat was growing little
uneasy. Three months had passed and
no word from Melinda. 1t finally be-

The notable event of the last week
was the "Send OFF" given State Sem
ator w. j. lHinton, last Saturday
evening Mr.. Hinton was a fusion
candidate named by the Democrats
and the Republicans refused to name
anyone against him as he was salts
factory to all of their party. He was
elected against the Progressive OPP
position. This gives the reason that
he was greeted by some thing over
hundred and twenty-five of his
friends on the last night before he
left for the den of lions on the legis-
lature as one of the speakers called
it. Mrs. w. j. Erkenbeck, Rev. j. l..
Ingham and Prof. Ware made brief
talks of sympathy and advice and
number of our local talent in musi-
cal and oratoricaI lines aided in the
program. Well it took nearly three
hours to say all we had to say and
eat all that our wonderful ladies had
prepared for us. 1t was to be noted
that the local leaders of all three
parties were present and listened to
our new Senator's brief address full
of hope that the session would do its
best for the good people of Idaho.
