The entertainment netted the band exactly one hundred dollars and when they pull off their next one they will do better. Mr. Tapp and his boys are worthy of all praise, their ad vancement has been wonderful, and they have paid all their expenses by their entertainments and dances. The weather continues ideal, it promises to make up for the past two bad winters. The P. S. L. Co. vacquero3 pass ed through town on Saturday with six hundred head of cattle enroute for the Agency. Mrs. Smith, who has been danger ously ill with pneumonia, is at last pronounced out of danger.

The phone system has grown till it now has over sixty miles of line, and fifty phones. All the folks have gotten back from Vale, and Westfall is itself again. The ladies will have their innings on Friday, the second, when a grand leap year ball will held. The band will furnish the music. Look out boys.
