1903: St. Anthony's Teton Peak notes tax collections and a South Fork bridge contract

ST. ANTHONY — On Thursday, Nov. 12, 1903, The Teton Peak printed a "LOCAL NEWS" column of the week's civic business and visits around Fremont County.

The paper said the county assessor reported that "taxes are coming in at the rate of about 300 a day." It also said R. H. Row was awarded a contract "for putting in some piling on the South Fork bridge."

Other notices said Thos. Patton had been appointed jail guard and janitor after John Burrell resigned, and that Chas. Louis was assisting the bookkeeper at the First National Bank. O. W. Campbell of Squirrel Creek registered at the Hotel Riverside, and J. M. Cook, J. A. Stephens and J. R. Winters of Rexburg were listed among the hotel's guests. J. P. Hollis of Shot Gun was in the city for winter supplies, and Miss Mills of Great Falls, Mont., had arrived in St. Anthony as the guest of her brother.
