A charlng-dlsh supper at the Ostlen home Thursday evening was thoroughly thorough-ly enjoyable but there never was an agalr at that hosnltable homo that wasn't delightful Following tho supper sup-per there was music and conversation.

R Mlt-ton Mlt-ton and family were out spending the evening with friends a line Newman piano was left at his residence by the Harris Music Co. Upon returning home there were at a loss to know why such a handsome Instrument was there After considerable Inquiry by telephone they ascertained that It was a Xinas present given to their little daughters, Ada and Annie, by their uncle, ex-Mayor Lorenzo Hansen. It was a complete surprise and the gift Is greatly appreciated, as a matter of course. A Christmas surprise for those who rent boxes at the postolllce comes In tho bhapo of an order doubling the price of boxes. After January 1, tho medium-size boxes will cost 75 cents a quarter Instead of CO cents as hereto-fore. hereto-fore. The why and wherefore of all this is not clearly apparent, but that doesn't cut any Ice-the order Is made by "the government," and If the peo-pie peo-pie desire to use boxes they will have to put up the extra amount. This new order affects all tho postoillces of the country The price of the larger boxes, $1 per quarter, Is not changed, for which the limited few are duly thankful James Nelson, brother of "Pete" and Joseph, Is down from Hozeman, Mont. Mr. Nelson Is president of tho "Copper King" prospect, In which quite a number of local people arc Interested. In-terested. Ho has unlimited faith In tho prospect, being confident at this time that by tho middle of next sum-mcr sum-mcr tho stock will bo soaring somewhere some-where near thj 810 mark. Owing to the fact that the smelters at Cook City, tho nearest point, are closed down for Improvements, together with tho added fact that the snow In tits mountains Is very deep, no work Is now being done on tho Copper King. However, it has been demonstrated that tho prospect contains an appa-rcntly appa-rcntly unlimited quantity of oro that doesn't run less than SCO to the ton, and thoso most Interested arc content. The report is that magnates have offered largo sums of money for tho Copper King, but It is tho intention of Mia company to finish up tho road under construction and develop the mines themselves It is Mr. Nelson's Intention to remain In Logan for somo time. Kx-Mayor Thomas Orlllln, of Richmond, Rich-mond, was In Logan tlrst of the week with his sons and their families Mr. Orlllln came into this country when there were only a half dozen huts In Logan City and he could not but contrast con-trast the recent Christmas with the Chrlstmascs of a half century ago. Then all was desolation, wide stretches of cold weather and an absence of ecn the smull necessities. Today, thanks to the energy and stlck-to-lt-iveness of the early settlers, and those who followed, tho valley has blossomed as tho rose, so much so that radst luxuries are here, and certainly nond are lacking the essentials. In speaking speak-ing of Richmond, Mr. Grlllln sajsthe progressive citizens arc striving to knock off a few of the rough corners and arc gradually coming out of the darkness and mud. Tho old town Is working up In good shape and he looks for considerable early progress. It seems more than probable that some In Logan have a wrong conception concep-tion of what may rightly be expected of Undo Sam In the delivery of mall on the Logan-Preston branch. Some who are annoyed by the failure of the morning train to get mall In here before be-fore noon, or fi o'clock, have expressed the Idea that If Uncle Sam but knew "he would straighten it out in short order " In fact, Tiik Repuiilican labored under that Impression, and with others we hac felt that Postmaster Post-master Odcll ought with little dim-culty dim-culty secure better mail service. It appears, houecr, that Mr. Odell no longer has to make reports as to the arrival of malls, and to all Intents and purposes Uncle Sam no longer cares whether the trains deliver mail on schedule Mine. Then again, Uncle Sam doesn't requires railroads to carry mall on freight trains and the early train from the Junction Is designated a3 naught but a freight train. The mall is carried on this as a sort of accommodation ac-commodation and tho proper kind of kick would probably result in Logan having but one mall a day. Postmaster Postmas-ter Odell doesn't sec any relief until the railroad chooses to give It |
