RAIN, Rain AND THEN SOME
Streets of Preston, Ida, Flooded and
the Mud Something Awful
Dry Farming Project.
Especial to The Herald)


Preston. March s.-The weather here
continues to be pretty damp and it has
been raining. raining. raining. The
streets are flooded and hub deep in
mud and Main street looks like a min
iature sea.
Information has been received of
gigantic farming project that has been
commenced in Curlew valley on the
west side of this county. A company of
gentlemen from Brigham City and Cur
lew valley have secured $1,000 acres of
land which they are going to put into
wheat and it is contemplated TO pur-
chase a $1,000 steam pillow to farm it.
The section is a clay loan and the
finest kind of crops are raised by dry
farming. The average yield last year
was twenty-six bushels to the acre.
The company further cOntemplates the
erection of a 1000 flour mill and an
electric light and waterworks plant
will be installed as fast as the work
can be done.
The committee of Prestonites who
went TO Boise TO try and change either
the boundaries of the county or accom-
plish the establishment of the coun-
ty seat so that it will be more advan-
t6 geous to the people of this section,
complished. The supposition is that
legislators elected from this county
had been pledged before hand to an
other section and Preston got in a lit
tie too late. The matter viii not die,
however, as two years hence the same
proposition will be brought up and
something will be done for this sec
ton. As the matter now stands, peo-
pie who wish to get to the county seat
(Malad City, have to take the train
to Brigham City and go by way of the
Malad Valley branch to reach their
destination, or else go thfrty-five miles
by team.
A mass meeting of the citizens will
be held here on March 16, and a new
town board will be nominated. A great
deal of talk is being INDUCED in
against the old town board, which is
progressive and slow, and the
movement means another and more
progressive board, and the tendency
seems to be that younger men will be
elected to the positions.
William c. Parkinson. of Hyrum,f was
in town Monday.
Walt p. Monson and wife have been
to Boise the past week. They returned
Wednesday night.
The new building of the Superior
Lumber company will soon be COM
pleted.
Mrs. Hattie Thatcher is confined to
her bed with a serious Illness.
The Lewiston Sugar company will
erect a platform for the beet growers
of this section at the Oregon Short Line
depot.
The Commercial club held its regular
meeting Monday evening and one of
the themes for discussion was the san
itary condition of the city. The SAM
tation of Preston and the waterworks
will be the two main issues which the
beard of governors is going to solve
this year.

company, was in town Tuesday of this
week.

SALT LAKERS MAKE GOOD.
Temple City Quartette a Winner IL
Vaudeville.

Word comes from Minneapolis of the
continued success of Boman Johnston,
a former Salt Lake boy, and his Tenn
Die City quartette. The quartette is
now in vaudeville, and is on the north
west circuit. The Minneapolis Daily
News has the following in praise of
their work:
"The Temple City. quartette' is rap
idly becoming one of the most popular
acts seen at the Earl in a long while.
In the act these fellows seem like ex-
college boys on an outing trip enjoying
themselves in the open air by singing
OF happy moments passed between
study hours, and of many a frolic the
professors never heard of. Their songs
are the best of popular composition
and are rendered so well that five or
six encores are always demanded.
THE tenor, Mr.. BOman Johnston. we
regard as true artist. He has one of
those voices of peculiar charm, which
binrgs to mind all the sweet old Ger
man stories of singing lovers that Turk
in the BRAIN"

her work The hospital authorities feel
that they are especially favored In secur-
ing her services, for although she is too
past IL has established 2 record for her,

proud.
