Cashier LOCALS., Fred Cutts, of the Chalk Buttes Was; in -town the fqre part of the week. Frank Miner and Miss Faith Cun- ningham ,,were married Sunday eve- ning by Justice Voorhees. A son was born to Mrs. Wm. Hed- rick last eveninir. The younster has been named William Wade. Don - Campbell has been freighting the past week, hauling oil anegas for the Continental station here. A little more stieiv has c 011en the 'past week, but at that the weather is better than we have expected at this time of the year. They tell us that the commiasioners \set 'em up\ to candy and cigars this week, while in session. You might inquire further of them. W. H. Peck and June Olsen Were called to Baker the fore part of the week in connection with the straigh l tening out of the Baker-Ekalaka mail contract. The county commissioners were in session the fore part of the week. Mr. Snow. Buck and Johnston were all present. The general order of busi- ness was transacted. Carl Burch was in town the 'fore part of the week from his ranch near Ridgway. He was headed for Baker e\ after a load of feed for his stock. He says his country is still covered with a deep blanket of snow and that feed is scarce and hard to get out from the south country. The reasonable fair weather of the past few weeks has given the stock- men of this section a splendid op- portunity to haul in feed from the railroad. Despite the fact that most of the stockmen believe they are being fleeced by hay and grain dealers at the .railroad, they find this abbut the only way to do busine.ss.. \WHEN \I began housekeeping I boughCmy furniture on the small - monthly -payment plan. Through, a little self-denial, my wife and I made our payments and before we knew it, our household equipment was paid in full for.\ This was a remark of a leading business man a few days age. Why not buy a lot in Park Addition on the same plan? At the last meeting of the Volun- teer Fire Department a committee was appointed to arrange for a min- strel show and this committee has al- ready started things moving along. The big event is to be staged on Fri- day evening, February 20th. Regu- lar practice wil commence early in February. With the amount of local talent available the show hould be a success. Music for the chorus has been ordered and try -outs for the other positions will commence after things line themselves out later. A number of specialties are booked, all of local color and should insure the success of the entire show. Baker Sentinal.—Every once in a tvhile a dyspeptic breaks out with the old chestnut; \money is tight—no business,\ yet it was observed that the local merchants had about the usual amount of holiday trade, and in some \ instances more than in prior days. There is one thing that you must give the resident of this terri- tory credit for; if he has a dollar in his pocket he will spend two; where the other comes from the Lord only knows,, but somebody gets it, that's a cinch. Optimism will almost enable one, like the parable in bibeccal lore to walk upon water, if a stiff upper lip is maintained—and you don't weaken. Analogous to this, the farmers are contemplating next spring seeding more acreage to grain than ever be- fore—how many of them are going to get the seed is a query for the pro- pfiets; but they will get it. and, a la Hercules, next fall the stables will be clean.
