FEATHERVILLE
To ENTERTAIN
Excellent Program To Be
Given on July 8, 4, and
5 at Feather
vile

w, w. Clays was in the city last
Monday from Featherville and he
stated that plans of the Featherville
people for a rousing Fourth of July
celebration are rapidly maturing. AT
the present time the dance pavilion
is completed and the possibility of
rains marring the pleasure of the
dancers has been eliminated by the
installation of a canvass top. The
pavilion is situated on one of the
most beautiful spots in the upper
country, in the meadow just before
reaching Trinity Greek.
Those in charge of the celebration
have prepared a program off events,
which is published elsewhere in this
issue, that will provide excellent en-
tertainment for all who attend every
minute of the time from the morn
ing of July third until the final
dance on the evening of July fifth.
In order to try out the floor in
the open air pavilion a dance will be
given there next Saturday evening.

WORK STARTED ON
new HIGH SCHOOL
Contractor Rowland, of Salt
Lake Breaks First Ground
Last Monday
Morning

The site of Mountain Homes new
high school building was a hive OF
industry last Monday morning when
the equipment of T. G. Rowland, of
Salt Lake City, was being unloaded
and placed ready for the starting of
actual construction work on the new
structure.
In a very short time Engineer
Reid, who is in charge of the work
for the contractor had teams busy
plowing up the ground and removing
debris.
It is expected that some little time
will be consumed before the building
is finally completed as the contractor
has five months in which to finish
the structure. The contract also
calls for the construction of a six
foot cement sidewalk around the en-
tire block.
