Will Flinsprtch seoms to have something some-thing up his sleeVe that is very interesting inter-esting to him, and admits having struck a large deposit of chalk near his ranch. Mr. Fllnspach sent a sample sam-ple of tho chalk up to Miss Bryant, our school teacher, and the young lady was not long in pronouncing the chalk first-class: and from all appearances Will will have to get busy and get out more chalk if he expects to supply this school. He has already declared himself to be tho "Chalk King." Mr. and Mrs. Kimball went to Salt Lake Friday to spend conference. After spending a little while in the metropolis Mrs. Kimball will return to Gunnison, Utah, where her relatives rela-tives live and where she expects to j remain for several months, while Mr. Kimball will return to look after the interests at tho Ophir.

Mrs. Drake, who had Btarted out ahead of tho others, oth-ers, found Keith about three-quarters of a mile below town. Mrs. Drake was overjoyed when Keith's head bobbed up above the sage brush. Keith is only threo years old, and when Mrs. Drake found him ho Baid he was going to "dad." Ho had a hammer in one hand and a sage brush in the other. Keith meant business, no doubt.
