The ice men have come and gone
after putting up more ice than
usual. One feature of their stay
this year will probably be rem
embered. During the first of the
work they were informed by the
railroad foreman that the men
with teams would be paid only 83
per day this year and single hand
ed men 81.50 per day. Every
teamster immediately quit and re
fused to work. After some par
leying they were finally told to go
to work at the old price of § 3.50
per day and the shout that went
up was heard up town. It was a
minature strike and the men had
won.
Lester Green has been building
a dwelling in the west part of town.
Grant Boyer is the carpenter and
has been working right along and
now has the house enclosed so that
he can work on the inside for
awhile. Mr. Boyer now has a
carpenter shop where he can do
his fine work and bench work at
hpme and has not lost many days
this season. He's working right
along and will have his hand in
good practice when spring work
opens up. By the way , those who
are contemplating building will do
well to look after a carpenter as
there will be lots of work this
year.
Frank Mumford had a narrow
escape one day recently when the
wind was blowing a gale from the
north. Frank had started to town
with a load of hay and at the top
of the hill near Beaver canyon the
load , wagon and all blew over onto
him and pinned him to the ground.
He was walking at the time and
hadn't time to get away. He lay ,
there for several hours trying to
scratch his way out but his right
foot was pinned down under a
part of the frame and his head
and shoulders were held by the
wires that were interwoven about
the side of the hay rack. He
managed to break one shoe fasten
ing and the shoe strings and then
pulled his foot out. Having one
hand free to work and one foot
loose he scratched hay from about
his head and pushed it down be
low his feet arid like a gopher
worked out after several hours.
One team passed and Frank yell
ed with all his might but a lone
woman happened to be driving
and could not help him. Before
she could send men to his assist
ance Frank had crawled out with
out a cap and minus one shoe. It
was getting dark and cold so he
pulled his horses gee and got the
running seers of his wagon loose
to ride back home on and met A.
W. Grooms on his way to town
who went back with him and took
him in and took care of him.
Frank has a lame back and his
legs don't work very well yet but
is improving right along and will

Church X
The special gospel meetings held
for the past two Sabbaths and seven
in the Presbyterian
en week-day evenings
byterian church were concluded
Monday evening , after twenty-five
persons had indicated their desire
for devine acceptance ,
The topics were all discussed
and the subjects treated with the
thoroughness and accuracy of the
careful student ot the Word of
God.

As showing how gospel truth
presented so as to be a faithful
interpretation of the Holy Scrip
tures , should alfect the honest
seeker after the light , an incident
connected with these special meet
ings will enable us to gain some
helpful information : Rev. Kearns
had preached in one service on the
topic , l'The Unpardonable Siu."i
i
We know that before he preached ' j
the sermon he made a thorough
study of scripture , taking up
chapters of the bible in the origi
nal languages , word by word. Af
ter the sermon a Christian gentle
man came forward and , giving the
evangelist's hand a hearty shake ,
said : "Well , Doctor , you re
lieved my mind tonight of a great
dread , for I have long feared lest
I might have commitced the un
pardonable sin , but T am glad that
tonight you made it clear that I
had not. " The subsequent squeeze
of the pastor's hand indicated how
much joy and satisfaction had been
given this man by the hearing of
the truth of God's word , remind
ing us of the Saviour's words to
those who believed on Him , "And
ye shall know the truth , and the
truth shall make you free. "
But how true it is today , as it
was when Christ preached and
wrought miracles of old. "All
his adversaries were ashamed , and
all the people ( believers ) rejoiced
for all the glorious things that
were done by Him. "
The pastor lost his knife during
the meetings. We hope that will
be a blessed omen that all God's
*
people shall now put away forever
all sharpness and become like the
kind and loving Redeemer. "Xot
willing that any should perish but
that all should come to repent
