Show Edw. G. Geary was a pleasant caller Wednesday while in attendance at court. Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Williams of Emery were pleasant callers the first of the week. They were feeling quite encouraged en-couraged about the road down that way. They surely have been bad enough. We have just received word that Dr. H. G. Merrill of Provo is spending this month in California, studying at the hospitals and medical clinics. He was in Los Angeles at the last report. H. H. Oviatt. Jr. was over from Cleveland Cleve-land to attend court He says he can remember being asked where the town was when the questioner was looking into the heart of the city, so he is no stranger in Castle la'e. Christian Christensen of Molen was among the court people this week. He was a pleasant caller at this office and as usual at this time of the year left an ad for the sale of seed grain. He always al-ways has plenty of grain. Senator Iverson was down through here Saturday on his way to Emery to attend a meeting of tne Independent Canal and Reservoir Co. at which they were to act on some changes in the bylaws. by-laws. He hurried right back so as not to miss the session of the senate Monday. Chriss Johnson and Wm. T. Litster were business callers at this office Wednesday Wed-nesday and each ordered some pi-inting. Mr. Litster claims the distinction of running an absolutely cash business in Emery county. We are glad to know that it can be done and hope that it will become a universal custom before many years. We predict that Litster will make a good growth with this i'oundat m to build from. The annual Old Folks Party will be held at the Relief Hall on Thursday next. ' A good program is announced for the occasion. It will most likely be followed by a danc. The following were among the visiting visit-ing attorneys at the district court this week: Ju lge Ferdinand Erickson of Mt. Pleasant, Judge Jacob Johnson of Spring City, C. L. King of Salt Lake, C. C. McVVhinney of Price and Geo. M. Miller and Wm. Howard of Huntingdon. At last reports all is quiet at the Kenilworth mine and work going on as usual. However Superintendent Curtin has resigned and gone to Salt Lake. The company has taken buck to work 103 Greeks and he feels certain that some of the guilty ones are among the number. That all the world is not stingy about giving a word of credit to a paper and paying their subscriptions at the same time is shown by the following, enclosed with a check from Niels C. Anderson of Emery: "Yes, the paper is true to name for it is progressive and we can not afford to be without it. It is read with interest and is a welcome messenger messeng-er every Saturday evening. " There is no question but that Henry G. Mills is right when he goes after the Progress for not having anything to say about Desert Lake. We should have a correspondent thera, will anyone volunteer? vol-unteer? Mr. Mills says: "There is going go-ing 'to be something doing here. We have the finest little school house in the best county on earth, and a store will start up on th 17th. The roads are dry and th ; Ian i ready to plow." Henry H. Oviatt, Sr. was one of our pleasant court callers. Mr. Oviatt has been a Progress subscriber- ever since the first issue of the paper and is credited credit-ed up for a year ahead at this time. I The only kick he has is that the mails do not run right to get the paper to Cleveland on Saturday. The mail carrier car-rier for that burg ii not instructed to wait for the mail from the south, and this leaves the paper at Huntington from Saturday until Monday. The people peo-ple at Lawrence have the same condition to put up with. These things should be changed by petitions. The many friends of Alpha Barton who moved to San Juan county last spring, will be pleased to learn that he is getting along well in his new home. He is teaching at Bluff and giving a fine entertainment on Washington's birthday birth-day and is also county superintendent of schools. It looks like the right man got there at the right time as the county coun-ty down there gives promise of being the best known county in the state before be-fore another year. They are striking oil wells there right along and the dry farms are attracting wide attention and making good. The call published last week for a mass meeting to sele :t a justice of peace for Castledale precinct brought out a good number of people. P. I. Akelund acted as chairman and F. M. Reynolds, Jr., as secretary. When mominations were called for A. E. Wall, announced that the town board had been considering consider-ing the matter and placed, in nomination A. B. Willey as their selection. C. A. Larsen nominated Andrew . Johansen and by motion the nominations, were closed. ,The, vote , was taken by ballot and resulted in the selection of A. B.

Anderson returned from a visit to Fountain Green and other points yesterday. "Mart" went over to Price to escort her home. Dr. C. J. Ferguson, now of Salt Lake, and S. E.
