What We are Missing.

The following from the Hunting
ton Herald will make our merchants
mouths water and stimulate the pro-
ject of a free ferry and a bridge
across Snake river.
A dozen teams loaded at the O. G.
Co. warehouse this week freight for
Malheur and Harvey county points.
The merchants of Huntington report
a good trade with the interior this
year, and Col j H. Atkins, manager
of the o. G. Co., states the month
OF June was record breaker for his
store. The Huntington- Burns road
is lined with freight teams all the
time, large number bringing wool
in and all of them returning loaded
with all kinds OF supplies for The
merchants and stockmen.

RURAL DELIVERY.
Business Not Growing as 1t Should On
the Weiser Route.

Farmers along the free rural
mail delivery route running out of
Weiser are greatly benefited by it
and most of them appreciate it fully.
1t would be hard blow to them if
it should be discontinued, and for
that reason the Signal proposes to
give them timely warning. 1t APP
pears that there are two reasons.
Patrons have a habit of sending
their mail to town by passers-by.
Others are not patrons of the delivery
system. The other reason is that
some of the road down the valley is
practically impossible during rainy
times. Some work has been done
to remedy this but not nearly enough.
Very few patrons are buying money
orders of the carrier to the extent
that they might, postponing such
purchases until they visit town. Be-
sides beng wonderful convenience
tosour ranchers, the presence of the
rural delivery system is a great
credit to the community, and every
effort possible should be made to
retain it and make it profitable.

HOT TIME BACK EAST
A TOrrid Wave Still Holding That Sec
ton in Its Terrible Embrace

The heat wave that has enveloped
the eastern and middle states show
no signs of abatement. A long list
of deaths from prostration appears
daily. The thermometer keeps
above one hundred, and it has been
that way for weeks Crops are ter
ribly damaged now, and are threat
ened with total destruction. The
government experiment station at
Columbia, Mo-, estimates that the
crop losses of that state already
equals 800, 600. 900. Live stock is
being shipped to the market by
trainloads, and bring very low prices.
The loss in this respect ls heavy,
and will cripple the live stock inter

head were received at the Kansas
City stock yards, which surpassed
the receipts of any previous day
since their establishment.

backing up his judgment with his
money. 1t is reasonable, too.
If Weiser could see Mr. Hills
"private plans for shipping" there
might be revelations made that would
set Weiser by the ears with eager ex-
pectation. His statements on arid
development shows familiarity
with this part of Idaho that would
only be acquired by him under de-
termination to send his engines and

SUGAR AND SALT.
One Goes up and the Other Goes Down

Sometime in the early spring the
salt company at Salt Lake and the
Pacific coast people "got together, "
and in consequence stock salt took a
sudden jump. One year ago sheep
men could buy that necessary article
at SO and $40 a ton, while now they
are compelled to plank down $14
and $15. A year ago they could
ship in salt In large quantities and
get reduced rate, but now they
cannot buy cheaper than the local
merchant getting a carload because
Of pool in freight rates. Conse-
quently they are now being supplied
by our home dealers.
Table salt has advanced nearly as
much. Fifty pound sacks were re-
tailed here at 65c year ago. Now
they command 85c. Sugar has gone
in an opposite direction because of a
fight between the big coffee firms
the Woolson Spice Co. and the Ar
buckle Co. The retail price has
dropped in the local market from
81 rs to 1915 for the dry granu-
lated. Package coffee has also been
lowered about one half cent pound
AS the season for putting up fruit is
close at hand, the consumer will
wish them lively and protracted
struggle. When they do kiss and
make up they will undoubtedly ad-
vance the price enough to reimburse
them for the present falling off in
profits.

Bates of Parma who accompanied
him will be in Sunday night with the
pack outfit and camp equipage.
The trip was taken for the pur-
pose of viewing and selecting timber
lands for the state. These lands to
the amount of about 10000 acres
were selected at various points on
Hornet and Lick creeks, Price Valley.
The Meadows and along the head
waters of the Weiser.
Mr.. Harvey states that the Long

timber lands in world. Very few

really is. Mr. Bates intimate
knowledge of the entire section
was of much value TO Mr.. Har-

Little Salmon river, passing down

Testimony as to Transactions With
Decedent.-An interesting decision has
been made by the supreme court of
Texas in the case Of Sanders VS.. Ker-
bic, So Southwestern Reporter, 626, in
regard to the competency Of witnesses
to testify as to transactions with dece-
dent. The Revised Statutes prohibit
either party in an action by or against
an executor from testifying to any
transaction with or statement Of de-
ceased, unless called by the opposite
party. The suit was brought by plain
tiff to set aside her fathers WILL which,
she contended, was obtained through
the undue influence of her brother
Two other brothers, W. and s., re-
fused to join the plaintiff in the suit,
and were consequently made defen-
dants. On the trial they offered to tes-
tify as to certain transactions with the
decent tending to show that the will
was obtained by J. by undue influence.
The supreme court holds that this evil
dence should have been admitted. The
court holds that as ". and S. were
benefciaries under the will, they were
necessary parties to the proceeding to
invahdate it; that they refused to at
tack it, and We're therefore necessary
defendants: and whatever may have
been their feelings, their relation to
the issue was that Of parties opposed
to the appellant. The court says: 1--WE
do not speak Of cases of collision in
which a party really a plaintiff in in
terest is made a defendant in order to
evade the statute" It would seem,
however, that the danger suggested by
the court is a grave one. and the way
is made easy for the preparation Of
fraud by this decision.
