MIDDLE VALLEY MITES.

MlOOuu fAADbI .uIIuko
Fog seems to be all that is to be
seen in this vicinity.
The ground is frozen to a con-
siderable depth, which makes the
roads rough and navigation a rather
slow process.
The Middle Valley Ditch Co. has
been holding meetings for the past
week. New officers have been elected
and resolution to enforce the bylaws
has been adopted.
Most of the young men of Middle
Valley are practicing for the shooting
matches which are to be given every
week. There has already two of them
occurred but the greater part of the
targets came out unshattered.
Middle Valley is coming to the
front in the holy bonds of matrimony.
The double wedding which occurred at
this place on Sunday, Jan. 9Th, was
rather surprise to many.
Mr. Scott Reese, of Crane creek,
and Miss Geneva Fletcher, Of Middle
Valley, were united in the matrimonial
circle, also Mr.. Jesse Reed and Miss
Carrick, both of Salubria. Rev. N.
Ross, officiating. 1t was an I'M
economy quiet affair for an Idaho
wedding, or rather the former was, as
they took their departure for their
home on Crane creek soon after the
ceremonies took place.
But how was it with jess? Well,
he was rather quiet for his part, bu
in spite of his efforts it became know
throughout the neighborhood and al
the boys decided to meet at a certain
point and give him serenade, which
they did about 1920. They sur
rounded the house with guns, bells
pans and a number of other melodiou
instruments and proceeded with tn
serenade. All went well for tim
but the air being of frosty natur
began to make the crowd think ther
was something needed beside nois
so they proceeded to build a fire
which was a success. Mr.. Reed o
seeing the fire conluded they wer
going to camp for the night an
decided that it was of no use for hil
to get up until morning. He re
solved to let them go on with the
serenade and it was carried on unit
about IL 80, when the crowd decide
Jess was a sound sleeper, and bao
him good night and disbanded.
Services were held at Shoe Peg O

The legislature in 1872 provided that If the
words "appraisement waived" or other words
of similar import be inserted on any deed, bond,
mortgage, note, bill or written contract there
after made it shall be ordered In any judgment
rendered thereon that lands sold to satisfy the
same may be soli without appraisement, order
of sale being withheld for period OF six
months. Under the operation OF this statute,
great abuses have crept into our practice. There
usually being no competition at sheriff sales,
lands mortgaged for one-hah their value are not
for only a small fraction of the judgment debt
In many instances sufficient only to pay the costs
of the court proceedings. Notwithstanding the
property is taken from the debtor for the put
major portion of it, still remains unsatished
against him and may be enforced should he then
have, or afterwards acquire, any real or personal
property not exempt from seizure. This law Ii
wrong and should be repealed. No property
should be sold at forced sale, except for a price
commensurate with its value as shown by ap-
given reasonable time to redeem from such
sale, the proper safeguards being provided for
the protection of the creditor from any loss By
reason Of delay.
While the repeal Of the waiver Of appraise-
ment" could perhaps only operate upon future
contracts. yet &c II believed that substantially
similar effect rs to existing contracts can be
secured by the enactment Of law empower

Two or three cabin boats have
passed down the river within the
past few weeks, hut there are very
few OF these craft. indeed. compared
with the number we used to see.
Not great number of years ago they
were far more numerous than they
are now. They seem to be falling
into disfavor. The fact is that the
cabin boat, being movable. and east
" shifted from the limits of a city
or county where crime of thieverv
or robbery was committed. was for
merly a favored place for the river
pirate. a mild hammered sort of des-
perado, with liking for whisky and
Il dislike for work When the min
ions of the law came to close up to
it, ii was easy to slip the mornings
and float down the river. Not all
cabin boat families have been this
sort. but many of them have. The
raiding of these places by police and
sheriff's forces has reduced their
number materially. 1t is safe to say
that there is not one now where there
were half dozen 10 years ago.

The prospect Of an early appoint
ment of an internal revenue collector
for this district seems to be acting as
stimulus to those expecting
subordinate positions under him
There have been several candidates
for deputy collector in the field for
some time, but the question of who
shall be stamp clerk is now being
aTitated. \ meeting of the Steven
son club has been called for tomorrow
evening, when it is understood that
the feasibility of bringing Leo j.
Deisenroth out "a candidate for
stamp clerk will be considered. Mr..
Deisenroth is the secretary of the
club, and in view of his unfortunate
condition. his fellow members are
especially DESTROYS of showing their
appreciation of his worth by a unan-
imous endorsement of him for that
position. A petition Is being circu-
lated favoring Miss Jennie Kane for
the place, and she has many friends
who would be pleased to see her sue
ccssful. Charles McHugh and

trader arrested by Officer Ryan on
Saturday evening. was fined So and
costs by Magistrate Schroeder last
evening.
Michael Lagan. living in South
Rock Island, was arrested yesterday
afternoon on warrant sworn out by
his stepfather. John Collins. Lagan
it seems. has not had a square meal
in a good many moons. and nature
prompted him to steal some potatoes
from his stepfather. That gentle
man. as will be seen. had him ar
rested and Squire Halves bound him
over to the circuit court in $50
bonds. in default of which he went
to iail.
