sun Bros.. Circus The Event of the
First of the Week.
At an early hour Sunday morning a
large lumber of our citizens became
aware that something unusual was hap
pening by the noise heard from the vi
cinity Of the railroad station. and large
crowd soon gathered TO witness the I'M
loading of Sun Brothers circus which had
lust arrived and an interesting sight it
was. While the show was not Fore
paugh or Bsrnum's it yet embraced much
OF the interest out Of the ordinary for the
Belding resident.
The large covered wagons were covered
with canvas and on flat cars, the camels
horses and elephants in box cars and two
passenger cars accommodated the human
part Of the equpaPe, % in number al
though it was remarked that the scrubs
of whom there seemed to be goodly
number slowed away on the flat cars or
any place they could cling
A very short time was consumed in the
unloading and then began the march to
the grounds on the Broas farm, just south
of the c tholic church, the grounds pre-
yiousy rented in the west part Of the city
proving too water soaked from the recent
rains.
To say that large multitude followed
them would be expressing 1t mildly and
large numbers continued to visit the
grounds during the day, to see the I'M
loading, setting of tents and visiting with
the elephants camols and ponies, all show
ing a disposition to friendliness.
1t was surprising to see how quickly
Housekeeping could be begun and good
breakfast was under preparation in short
order, the substantial part of which was
ham and eggs and the aroma Of the coffee
served as an urgent call to some of our
citizens to 90 home and do likewise, Their
meals were served in an open tent on OF
cloth covered tables and each man lookeo

dishwasher who were most deft at Their

for their days supply and 65 chickens
helped to make up the dinner menu.

The Utilization OF Leisure.

Sir Oliver Lodge says: The idea
of social institutes for recreation and
utilization of leisure ranks among the
most hopeful methods OF attacking the
forlorn gambling and excessive drink
ing habits of this country. IL is an
indirect method of attack, and there
fore, wise Compulsory closing OF
doors is no remedy so long as an
open longing to enter them remains.
It is the will and the habits that must
be amended; II is the leisure hours
that must be otherwise provided for.
The way TO expel bad spirit perma-
nently is TO occupy his place WORTH
ly: and until homes are more home
like and rational family life more pos
sIble. social Institutes and clubs, not
too narrowly or over governed. must

Alleged Cattle Thief.

Sheriff Lansjon arrived late this
afternoon from Salubria having in
charge Edward Nichols, an alleged
cattle thief. Nichols, was arrested
near the Snake river, about 40 miles
from Weiser. The sheriff found in his
possession eight head of cattle that
Chris Larsen, a cattleman living in
the northern part of the county,
claims. The brand had been defaced
and Nichols brand substituted.
Nichols had a hearing before Justice
Jaynes of Salubria and was bound
over to the district court in the sum
of $4,000 and being unable to furnish
it was brought to Weiser and placed
in Jail.
Nichols is thought to be but one of
band whose operations extend
throughout western Idaho and east
ern Oregon, cattle and horses being
stolen in one state and passed from
one to another of the band into an
other state.-Boise Statesman.

PERSISTENT RUMoRs AFLoAT
THAT PROPOSED ROAD IS TO
BE BUILT.
General Manager MeCabe Says He
Knows Nothing Of lt-Route Has.
Been Surveyed Out.

Although denied by General Man.
ager McCabe, rumors are persistent
around Walla Walla that the North
ern Pacific is preparing to build a
branch line from Riverside to Turner
station. a distance of 80 miles, touch
ing Prescott and passing through the
rich wheat belt of northeastern Eu-
reka Flat. making the line a part of
the system Of the Washington & Col
umbia River railroad, to compete
with the o. r. & N. for a share Of
the business of the Hartman lines in
the Prescott country and barley belt
above Dayton.
Il have never received official noti-
fication That the Northern Pacific in
tends to build the Riverside-Turn
branch" General Manager McCabe
said this morning. "The line was sur
veyed about two years ago and rights
of way purchased, but that is as
far as the work proceeded. The road,
if it is ever built, will touch Prescott
and pass through the northeastern part
of Eureka Flat, now practically con-
trolled by the o. r. & NJ, and also in
to the barley belt above Dayton. The
terminus would probably be Turner
station. But these are only surmises,
with no foundation for the statement
that the road is to be built"

START WINTER IRRIGATION
Hudson Bay Farmers Using up Sur

Hudson Bay Farmers Using up Sur
plus Waters.
Winter irrigation is now in force in
the Hudson Bay district.
For two weeks the surplus water
from the Walla Walla and the Tuna
lum rivers has been running over
the alfalfa fields of the Hudson Bay
and Freewater districts and from now
until next June the flood water will
continue to soak the ground in that
locality.
This winter soaking will produce ex-
cellent crops without a particle Of
summer irrigation and no matter
whether dams or reservoirs or other
devices are built by the government.
the Hudson Bay district can be made
fruitful in the extreme just by the
use Of the waste water.
The early fall rains cause these
streams to raise and from October Is
to June Is there is sufficient surplus
water in them to irrigate that entire
district, in addition to the regular
water rights which also can furnish
water for a large portion of the
country.
AS an evidence of the virtue Of win
ter irrigation w. T. Shaw, who owns
a large tract of land in the Hudson
Bay district this year, leased a small
tract to renters who planted it to
watermelons.
One carload of melons was shipped
which averaged % pounds per melon.
These melons were grown by winter
irrigation entirely and the entire
field made a thrifty and remarkable
growth without water during the
growing season.
