Her death occurred at Siniui barbara, Sunday, the 5th instant, and her Ixwiy arrived lant Fri-dav at lluod Kiver, accompanied by her brother Wallaco Young.

Tho pay roll of tho valley is increasing and there isn't such a thing here a enforced Idleness la working weather. Now that the question of building a railroad lip the valley is settled, the no.t question Is, Which side of the river will it follow? It would seem that if tho director wore familiar with tho resource of tho valley, that there would not be a shadow of doubt as to it covering tho East Side of the Viiliey. Hut then tho question of the right of way 1 an important one to tho builders.

And this might have something to do with tho present jiliins of the promoters. The lOast Side anil Willow Flut would surely be lni'oly benefitted by a loop around our from this point of view the land-owner and shipper along the proposed route could well afford to interest themselves in till right of way matter. The owner of a small tract of land in Hood Hiver valley, could of course be damaged iiy reason of a railroad cutting it in two, while bin neighbor, whose land it did not touch, could receive the same benefit of the man who had tho road through bis place and none of the damages of a rigid, of way, Following up this thought should the route hinge upon a question of right of way? Then would come the question of equalization of damage. A railroad that is Our Prices J. and Vehicles Road Wagons, Just Buggies factory.

Ulllstrom, 15 below; L. M. Kedmon, zero. Owing to the cold weather Saturday nlgnt there was a very poor attend ance at the literary. However a very good program was rendered.

Much of the success of the evening was due to the glee club which rendered two very good selections which brought down the house. The question box contained many excellent questions. There were several in the mental arithmetic which created considerable amusement. J. O.

Cameron told why he considered Dukes valley a more beautiful place than the Willow Flat. Next Saturday night is election night and a full attendance is desired. The glee club will furnish several songs, besides one or two dialogues that are also on the program. There has been a great deal of complaint from patrons of the Mount flood telephone line on account of the poor service. The last five days at least the Hue has been broken and lying on the ground just north of John Lawless' house.

When patrons are expected to keep phone rent up, they surely have a right to ex pect and to demand a reasonable service. It begins to look a if these patrons desire competent service, it would be necessary for them to pool their old baling wire and put up their own line. Such a line could uot give poorer service than they now receive. llesides thoy would have the consola tion if it didn't work that the line was their own. F.
