All is not pathway of roses for
the hunter in the land of Weiser. A
few days ago jolly nimrod had his
cheerfulness rudely Jared when a
hatchet-faced, grim visaged woman
appeared before him at the rear end
of horizontal Winchester and in q
soft, angelic voice sweetly instructed
him to git off the place as there
was ''no hunt'n lowed" there. The
surprised sportsman listened to the
rapidly and explosively uttered state
ment of the various number of big
bleeding holes that would be put
through his liver if he didn't klatawa,
examined the unusually large bore of
the rifle, contemplated the forbidding
piece of petticoat at the other end,
and concluding that discretion was
the better part of valor, got toff'n hei
land with due and proper celebrity.

4 Not Threatened With Creamery at Once.
- We stated last week that Mr. Bow
den, the creamery man, had been writ
ten that the COWS could be secured.
After weeks silence a letter was
received from him yesterday stating
that he had specified a certain time
he would wait, and as the COWS had
not been promised within that time,
he had proceeded to make other ar
engagements and would not now enter
tain the matter of going into the
business. This indicates the disas-
trous results of dilly dallying along
when man wants encouragement to
start new enterprise here. A man
looking for a location seldom has
time to loaf around waiting on ''slow
pokes."
We may have a creamery yet, how
Cfcl do VIC lillSltoO eih dhSllSb 10 Ctiuo-
ing different ones to look at the mat
ter in the right way. Jim Gray
dropped in the other day to announce
that he would milk 40 COWS. Others,
expressing themselves on the matter,
have raised the number of COWS that
would be MIXED within six miles of
Weiser to total of 200 for starter.
With these facts in view, an intelli-
gent answer can be made to letter
which has been on file for the past
ten days from gentleman at Rodden,
H., who is in the creamery business
and writes in regard to moving his
plant to Weiser. The letter has been
held in allegiance, awaiting the result
of negotiations with Mr.. Bowden.
AS the latter gentleman is now out of
the field, the Illinois gentleman can
be correspondent with without hind
rance, and we hope with benefit to
him and to Weiser.

Died.


In Weiser, Saturday night last, Mr.
Esau Numbers.
Mr.. Numbers was born November /,
1916, in Pennsylvania. When a young
man he was married at Wooster, Ohio,
to Miss Anna Smith, and soon afterward
departed for, what was then considered,
the far west-eastern Indiana-where
they took up land in the densely timbered
country, and set about hewing out a home
for themselves. AT the end of nine years.
during which time six children had been
born to them, an epidemic of diphtheria
proved fatal to four of the children, and
with the other two they returned to Ohio,
where two more sons were born to them,
namely, Arthur Numbers, who now lives
in Kansas, and DIR. j. r. Numbers, with
whom he has made his home here for the
last ten years. OF the two children re-
turning with them from Indiana the son
died in the Union army at Cumberland
Gap, and the daughter, now Mrs. DR..
Ollie, of Denver, will be remembered by
many here, having visited Weiser six OF
seven years ago. His wife died at their
home in Ohio just twenty years ago this
month, at the age of go years. So, al
the ripe old age of 81 years, he survived
all but three members out of his family
of ten.
The funeral took place from the family
residence on Monday afternoon.

AS loyal and patriotic common

from doing her part for the support of
that government in time of war. But
it is a sad business, even when viewed

the rest of the country, may be called
