W1» have so often in the past
months told about ths young folks
„ tending the dances at Modins that
doubt you hare come to look upon
this as an established institution, and
you are most assuredly correct in
| this regard, for the young people have
come to look upon this event as an
! everlasting stronghold against gloom.

many selections played by Irl Thomas

Why, he run a wagon for the conven

behind yet on the bar

aboard and he had to go or walk.
Every one had a good time and the
lighta were sure scrumptuous.

Fruit Co. on their Waatlak. ranch
Monday morning. Irl, with Wallace
Cannon and several others, art sehe
duled to dig aom« 2600 fruit tree hole*
which will be dug four feet square.
This company will also sat out a for
merly unoccupied twenty to trees. Mr.
Scott, the foreman, will see that the
boys do not break a.iy handles out of
their shovels.

that it does not stay any longer than
mine did.
Lake Ivie is back from Parma and
brought back some broncs with him.
He and Karl Coonrod delivered a
horse to Alex Cruickshank «nndsy.
Key Modln is a Boise visitor this
week. We wondered for some time
w hy he goes to Boise every once in

j,,* unravelled the mystery. Now
W e are wondering how long he will
continue to go until he brings her
back with him sometime to save jit

Howard Harper states he will at
tempt the experiment with head let

Louis Alsager, Sr., was struck by
Georire Fenton, driving the Hartley
p or d last Monday. It shook him up
pretty badly and twisted his leg a
little out of place, but aside from
that no serious bruises will result.
The accident occurred at the former
nr. Greene corner, now occupied by
the Heck family, and resulted from
Mr. Alsager stepping down off a
8pray tank when Mr. Fenton was tra
ve |i ne by and did not have opportun
j» v i n the brief space to stop without
striking him. It is very fortunate
for ail parties concerned that it was
nut more serious. »
