GOOD FOR THE VALLEY

The news published in last
weeks issue of this paper, in the
form of a letter written in Payette
by Mr.. Fred L. Green, the Lardo
saw mill man, is good indeed for
Long valley. Mr.. Green assures
us the mill will be built and in op-
Grafton this year, and he asks that
farmers plant wheat this spring in
order that the mill may have mat
erial to work upon the coming fall.
We believe our farmers will do this
and help to build up this import
ant industry. Mr. Green took sew
eral samples of wheat to Payette
with him and spent several days
there having mill tests of it. He
saws in letter Enclosed with the
one published last weed) to us:
'T find the wheat 0. K. in every
respect, and the miller says it is
No. 1 in quality for making -four"
1t is conservatively estimated
that there is not less than $4,000
sent out of this valley annually
for -four alone. This is large
amount of money and every effort
should be made to keep it at home.
Every dollar sent out of the valley
leaves us that much poorer as very
little of it finds it's way back again,
and many of our farmers when
they need little cash have to go
outside and work for it. To obtain
the greatest prosperity in the valley,
not cent of money should be sent
awav and lost to circulation here
for things that can be bought at
home. Some of our valley mer-
chants are as much at fault in this
respect as are some of our farmers
They send good money out of the
valley for cheap Hashy eastern
stationery, and that without asking
the home printer his prices fol
work or giving him any chance
whatever.
There is a considerable amount
of money sent out of this valley
every year for things which should
be produced at home, bacon, lard
etc., and our people should earnest
ly endeavor to stop 1T.

Eight Lives Lost i'm Fire Which De-

San Jose, Cal, May 25.-At least
eight persons were burned to death
early today by fire that destroyed the

The fire started in the rear of Fred
erick Browns commission store in
North Market street, near St. James,
and soon spread to G. w. Lafferty's S
livery stables and to the union lodging
house above the stable. There we're
forty dodgers sleeping in the union
house and they were awakened by the
twenty terrified horses in the stable
which were hemmed in. and stamped
ed by the flames.
Rushing into the halls in their night
garments, the dodgers CROPPED their way
through the choking, binding smoke,
led by the voices of the fremen. Many
of the dodgers made their escape. The
police are digging in the ruins for the
bodies as rapidly as the heat will per-

RACE ACROSS THE ATLANTIC
LuCania Beats French Boat
by Eight Minutes.

New York, May 25.-An exciting
race across the Atlantic between two
swift passenger liners came TO an END
today when the Cunarder Lucania
swept up TO the quarantine station
eight minutes ahead of the French
Line steamer LaLOrraine Since last
Sunday the two big ocean grey hounds
had been steaming along at top speed
part of that time almost side by side.
The race began when the two steam
ers communicated with each other by
wireless telegraph last Sunday. La
Lorraine had a comfortable lead at
that time but the Lucania gradually
drew up until she sighted her dead
ahead early yesterday. The Lucania
continued to gain gradually and dur
ing the day she drew ahead and away
from her rival The lead never was
a long one however. and all last night
watchers on the decks of the Luncania
could see the lights of the French liner
bobbing along behind.
The passengers on the two steamers
took the livliest interest in the con-
tes.
