Show j Correspondence !0 SAHARA. Sarah, Utah, Mar. 28. 1917. D. M. Piarrc is ihfofHng the out- side of his (MUM. Mr. Hauland and Mr. Hcdrick au Mag the work. t Mrs. McKlroy reports the loss of a breats pin, presumably fating the meeting of the Club last Sat. night Miss Laura Hcdrick received a mys-Jk mys-Jk terious package through the mail this week. We bet a dollar to a dough nut it was an Easter "bunnet". Your correspondent thought he was the only one to contemplate any. Kaster finery A pair of No. 10 shoes and a nectie, both badly wanted.- Wanted We have a very fine collection col-lection of buttons if only we can get some kindly disposed lady (young preferred) pre-ferred) to sew a few sre'rts on same, (buttons, not the ladies) we will be very grateful. To tell the truth, our clothes, like the one hoss shay, arc likely to fall to pieces, all in a bunch, one of these days. If we don't get some badly needed assistance. If they do Ach Himmcl, what will we do! Wednesday night. Mar. 21, We had another Heavy snow storm. About three and a half inches fell, but it has practically dissapeared. While these snows are unpleasant they are at least bringing greatly needed moisture, as the ground has much less moisture at this time, than it had at the same time last spring. Unfortunately the ground has been freezing every night so far, and plowing is very much delayed in consequence. We were told that' Inst spring was unusually, (a California term) late. If that is true, this spring must be extiaordinarialy unusual. As a matter of fact we refuse to believe either unusual. It is simply cussed Mountain weather. Mr. N. M. Carlson is again at home on his ranch. He went to California last fall but returned in a very short time reporting thinirs in our sister state as too dead to skin. Since which time Mr. Carleson has been working for the Salt Lake Railroad Co. We notice among other arrivals, a number of honored larks. These sang very prettily during the few warm days which we had. But the snow storm appears to have driven them away. But the birds are gradually appearing and if one uses a microecope and a lot of faith, one can discern a few green things begining to sho,-about sho,-about the rdy stocks of the slippery-elm slippery-elm and sage. But one doesn't need any artificial aid tC see chislers, they are, here, there and every where in countless numbers. Our office cat has been earning her winter's keep by bringing these pests in from the sage in considerable numbers. For which are properly thankful and would be more so if she did not insist on depositing de-positing the defunct chislers under our bed. i Mr. Anderson's car nrrived this week, and Messrs. Magnussen, Dougherty Dough-erty and Baker are building Anderson's Ander-son's house. One thing, if I may be pardoned for saying it, I believe a mistake is being made in building this, or any house in the valley, 20 odd inches above the ground. It would be better if sunk 20 inches below the level, as one of our gentle tail twisters twist-ers from tho South West will speedily convince anyone. However it is not our house, so why get all "het" up ovr it. Ex Sheriff Corry was a visitor at 'Sahara one duy this week. We started to boat it 'when we UW him coml but happened to remember he wm U "Ex." The improvements on the school grounds will be made the last Saturday Sat-urday in this month. Tho children are taking keen interest in beautifying the grounds and are planting will1 flowers, etc. As soon as the ground is broken other flowers will be planted, plan-ted, to be cared for by the children. The children are also manifesting a lot of interest in the garden contest referred re-ferred to in a recent issue. We saw some of them making purchases of seed for their gardens this week. The rules of tho garden contest are simply Each child must grow his or her own garden by their own efforts. A committee com-mittee will decide which is tho In st and the winner can choose the book which pleases thoir fancy. l 41 Mrs. Freeman, Messrs. Wright, Carleson and Bush, of Ford, wore visitors visi-tors in town last Friday. A six by ten foot flar has been ordered for tho school. Flag raising ceremonies will be held on the day the flag is hoisted. Two of the children child-ren will be appointed color guards, to care .for the flag, under direction of Miss Herdick an honor the grown i ups might well aspire to. T n Mrs. D. M. Peareo and her moth r Mrs. McElroy, arrived last Wednesday. Wednes-day. It was tu;t a ehfcngt, we suspect, sus-pect, from the l-.md of sunshine. flowers and hot rvr, to i now storm, such as gr-..'1.' our friends on tl arrival. 0 t Sis) W understand that, on account of the vile condition of the road above Hoxies' ranch and Hv.i on up to the mine, the ore hauler, will link" 1 it one more trip from the Arrcnvhc-.tl until the weith' r tttli ! Under ; ent conditions it is said that an entire day Is required to make the trip from Hoxies' to the mine with empty wagons. wag-ons. Wo nre very glad, indeed, to note the improvement in Mr. Foss How-land. How-land. When Foss left us a few weeks since he was so crippled up with V it laUcttl that he could baldly walk He is as lively as ever now and apparently ap-parently the civilized eats he got while away did him a world of good. He brought our talking machine up with him, and it is a dandy, all right. The Easter program is practically complete now and the Sunday School and our friends nre working hard to ! make it a success. We sincerely hope the weather man condescends to smile on us Easter day. The debate Saturday, Mar. 24, was well nttended and was probably the best handled of any debate so far. The , subject, "Resolved that Art is More Beautiful to the Eye Than Nature," proved a good one. The affirmative i won the debate. The judges acknowledging acknow-ledging that it was solely through i superior oratory as they (the judges) were all in favor of nature. The next subject will be, "Resolved that Fire is More Destructive than Water." Magnussen for the affirmative and Howland negative. Mr. Mackelprang, two Mr. Adamses two Mr. Haslams and a Miss. Haslam. also Jim Knell, were visitors at la.-.t Saturday's debate. We are indebted to some of our visitors for excellent nuiMc, furnished for dancing after ti'e debate was over. We sincerely hope they may come again, all t them, as we are glad indeed to welcome wel-come visitors at our meetings. Mr. J. A. Baker made a business trip to Salt Lake this week. Mrs. S. A. Davis arrived this week from her five months leave of absence. Her many friends are glad to welcome hu back to our midst. Mrs. Hal Griffin is working at Hotel Root, Lund. We miss her as we do all good mothers in our club and Sunday Schools. We are in receipt of some literature from the local Health officers, relative to the prevention of diseases. Also a warning to be on the watch for rabid coyotes. Attention of all residents resi-dents of Saharra and vicinity is re-spectfully re-spectfully invited to these circulars, I etc., posted in the post officce, school house and store. Watch for the Easter program which will appear in those columns next week, all are cordially invited, to attend this meeting of our Sunday School and help us observe the spirit of Easter. A huge coast defense gun went through Saharja by freight, one dny ' this week. Probably bound for the new coast defense at San Pedro, California. Cali-fornia. Train No. 2 Salt Lake Route seems to be a sort of "go as you please" accommodation train. Seldom on time. She was over two hours late Sunday night on account, so one of the crew said, of waiting at Caliente for the arrival of a theatrical troupe. Reminds us of other days in the sunny sun-ny .south, when a passenger train would await the arrival of Colonel or Major so and so, if he happened to be a bit late. We nre glad to report that Ross A.' Brown struck water on his homestead at 188 feet. Mr. Brown reported a peculiarity about his well at the lower low-er levels, namely, the unnatural heat encountered. Another well, bored west of Browns, also struck this hot strata. It is reported that vater from this well increases in temperature as it is drawn from the well, if drawn in quantities. We are also informed that the same condition prevails in some of the well3 near Enterprise. "Doc" Hoxie is reported to be suffering suf-fering from a severe cold. The people of this plac received an invitation to join the Yale club in a rabbit drive Sunday, March 25, but unfortunately it did not come to our notice until too late to present same to the club. Better luck next time. Mr. Rock Haley is camping upon the hills cutting posts for Mr. Guy Johnson. Guy has many of his post holes dug and we hope to see a fence around some of his place soon, as fences make it look as though someone might be living on a place. Mrs. Reynolds made a trip to Lund this week. She reports herself crippled crip-pled through trying to catch a freight train which, in the distance, she mistook mis-took for the 6:09. |
