I'm sending you a piece about a bridge out here. This bridge crosses the lake. We live three miles from Sandpoint and live near the lake. We can stand in our door and see the lake for miles, and see wild ducks and geese every day by the hundreds. I am sending the following clipping concerning our bridge, which of course is not built of wood. This question was recently answered by a newspaper our here. Very truly yours, MRS. DAVID TOWNSEND December 6, 1923 Question. -- Kootenai, Idaho 1. Please tell me the length of the wagon bridge at Sandpoint, Idaho. 2. How large is the lake? Answer: 1. 10,032 feet 2. Lake Pend Oreille is 38 miles long. Standpoint to Bayview. It had 470 miles of shore line and its surface is equivalent to 124,000 acres. Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Dec. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 28 Pg. 2 Col. 3 Kelat, KY News Items The versatile Havilandsville scribe propounds this query: "Tell us how to get our young men come inside of the church, instead of remaining outside racing their autos up and down the road during services?" That boys do this is entirely the fault of their parents. Well, maybe the girls have a little to do with it. If they would refuse to have any thing to do with the boys thus misbehaving, a different song would be sung. What is the matter with the people? Every farm house and every store has to become a regular arsenal on account of the thievery of the country. One dare not leave an auto along the public highway and expect to find it intact upon his return. Stores are broken into and robbed, gasoline tanks relieved of their contents, holdups at night becoming more and more common, and stealing right along, while the country throngs with idlers. Nothing short of the shot-gun will do any good. Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Dec. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 28 Pg. 3 Col. 2 PENDLETON RIDGE Mr. & Mrs. J. J. Clifford spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. & Mrs. J. T. Antrobus, at Williamstown. Falmouth Outlook Friday 14 Dec. 1923 Vol. 17 No. 28 Pg. 5 Col. 5 HAVILANDSVILLE AND VICINITY Mr. Sam Adams visited Mr. Chesney Pollard, Sunday and Sunday night. Mrs. John Harper, of Bethel, spent a few days the past week with her husband here. Master Elmer Doggett spent from Saturday until Monday with Lester and Leonard Price. Mr. Peter Jansen was called to his home in Covington Wednesday, by the death of his sister. Mr. & Mrs. Willie Dennis and children were Sunday guests of Mr. & Mrs. John Price, near Sunrise. W. A. Whalen and W. C. Arnold went to Cincinnati Sunday to be there Monday for the sale of cattle which they had shipped there Saturday. Mr. Aubrey McConnell, of Mt. Olivet, accompanied Bro. McConnell to Sunrise on Sunday and came on to this place where he was the guest of Mr. George Burns, until Monday. Irene Fay, two week old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Clarence Aulick, died at their home near here last Wednesday, Dec. 5th. Burial was at Mt. Vernon Friday afternoon. The family, especially the mother, have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood. John Harper's store at Havilandsville was robbed Friday night of goods amounting to about $60.00, and post office money to the amount of $22.00. Tracks in the road indicated that a truck had stopped in front of the store, and tracks and mud near the window and a broken window showed how they had entered. Only a few weeks ago, a Kelat store was robbed of goods amounting to $250.00 to $300.00. Merchants had better be on the look-out, as both were probably done by the same parties, and more are apt to follow. Quite an elaborate program is being put on by the enterprising Superintendent and pupils of the Mt. Gilead Sunday School for Monday afternoon before Christmas, Christmas eve, ending with a tree with gifts for all. If near enough you can't afford to miss hearing these dial ogues and songs and seeing Old St. Nick hand out his gifts. Richland school, too is planning for an entertainment for Friday before Christmas, though not on so large a scale, but just the same, we suspect you will enjoy it, and there may be some pleasant surprises for you. So give us your presence for the afternoon of that day, Dec. 21st. The pupils and teacher need your commendation and encouragement.
