Arbor Day.

Friday the 4th inst was perfect
day Balmy winds and heecy clouds
tempered the atmosphere, and streams
of sunlight illuminated the valley,
and down through the long vista of
green fields and blossom covered
fields the clear river ran blue and
placid. AS our greatest poet sings
80 blue yon winding river flows.
1t seems to spring from out the sky;
And. waiting til the north wind blows,
The freighted clouds at anchor lie
A day and scene all fully fitting
the ceremonies so enthusiastically
celebrated AT 10 o'clock troops OF
children with holiday dress and hands
filled with flowers gathered in the
park. Music was furnished by the
Weiser Cornet Band Singing by the
children followed and then the prac-
tical portion of the business was at
tended to. 200 trees were set ou'
and then the concourse marched to
the school ground, and here 1.80C
more were planted. A suitable co
lation was furnished 10y the ladies
All classes were equally interested
and where the enthusiasm is so gener
ally divided it seems impossible t.
make comparison. Altogether
was joyous occasion, bnt Weiser ha
very many such Under the gratelu
, shade of the trees planted on arbo
, day, 1894, how many weary on

May Pay Indlan CLAIMS.

Late dispatches state that Senator
Shoup is making vigorous efforts to
bring about settlement Of claims
against the government for Indian
depredations, and is making such
progress that there is a bright pros
pect of success being achieved. A.
great many of these claims originated
in Idaho and numbers of our people
are interested in the work being done
The claims are just. In large num-
Der of the cases the parties interested
are in need Of the money due them,
and the news of the progress being
made will be most welcome to them.
This is sure to please Sol Jeffreys,
who has had claim for 50, 300 loaf
ing around in Washington for several
years. Tom Jeffreys also has claim
for $l5, 900, for property of his wife s.
destroyed near Pendleton, Oregon
These two claims, and one Of San
Adams, of Pendleton, have been il
charge of Lawyer Upton at Washing
ton and at one time Tom was allowed
50, 600 on his, but it has been 81
mixed up with Uncle Sans red tap
that he has never seen the color 0
the money. -LArER:-The bill ha
} passed the senate.

The Right Move.

Wciser is to have cannery. That
reads we'll, and we would be glad to
see cannery in successful operation
at Weiser, which is well situated and
we understand is fiourishing Boise

Weser is to have cannery. The
establishment should be great ben
eft to the farmers of that vicinity MS
it will afford q cash market for small
vegetables which could not otherwise
be produced on large scale at a
profit Boise should hasten to emu
late the example of the valley town
We need some industries of every
description and start can readily be
made with a cannery. Statesman.
Weiser is to have a cannery. There
is no reason why there should not be
several such enterprises in Idaho.
Boise city, certainly should have a
cannery: also an establishment for
drying fruit We prate about patron
ling home industries, but the indus
tries are scarce. A good cannery or
two would easily supply all Idaho and
an immense amount of money would
be kept at home by this means. =
Shoshone Journal
Weiser has caught on to the right
idea to advance her prosperity, and
the idea will be carried into operation
and made effective IN the establish
ment of cannery. The fruit grow
ers of that section have perfected al
organization for that purpose with
capital stock of SO, 900. A special t.

man sees another living on vacant

out of it, and while he can't use it

weiser Land is the Place for Trout, True

The soft and dreamy spring is
settling its mantle over our hills
and in little while, in the

speckled beauties bite in June like
the frost bites in in winter and hun

some are liberal, but all are OF the

A few weeks ago everyone we saw
was expressing alarm over the cricket
situation and telling how they were
Matching by the millions. On the
positive assertions of many individ-
uals the SIGNAL published a reference
to the threatened calamity. Since
then the information has all switched
around the other way and all we can
hear is to the effect that they will not
be nearly so bad as previously, and
that there is not over one cricket in
the hills now to where there was a
hundred last year at this time. We
are glad if this is the case and sorry
if the other statement was eXagger-
ated, as it is not matter to attract
settlers, and we would hate ourself If

statement that would place us
among the carbuncles, but if it was
the truth, as we believed, we saw

Gently. One evening he saw something
come from the bushes at one side of
the railroad, step upon the track and
stand still between the rails. At first
he thought it was man, but when the
rays of the headlight fell on the object
he saw that it was bear. The train
was moving very fast and the engineer
blew the whistle loudly, but the bear
held his place calmly until almost run
down and then stepped off. This rash
bear must hare enjoyed its experience,
for three times during the following
week it repeated the performance
But when it came out for the fifth time
it had grown careless and the cow
