 On Thursday of last week at the home of the officiating min ister, Rev. J. l.. Keener, at Berry, vile occurred the marriage of Miss Dorcus Mae Villines and MT. Car roll Stafford, both prominent and highly respected young people of Green Forest, the bride being the daughter of Joe Villines and the groom a son of John Stafford, two of the county's best citizens. Only few special friends who accompanied the bridal party to the county seat were present at the ceremony. Few young people have started out on life's journey under more suspicious conditions than this young couple. We hope they may make the most of it.

As It Is In Illinois.

William Brunskill, of Esmen town
ship, had forty acres of oats threshed
last week which yielded 1910 bushels,
machine measure. They overran a
trifle over two pounds to the bushel
by weight, making an average of "a
bushels and % pounds to the acre.
The above was taken from the Pom
tiac Qll.) Leader and is evidently con-
sidered big yield and perhaps it is
for that country, but in this country
it would only be considered half
crop, as seventy-five bushels of AZ
pounds is the average for this year
and If farming was conducted here In
as thorough a manner as 1t Is back
East" the farmer would get 100 bu
to the acre.

R. ]. Cook, the smooth guy who es-
capped from the city jail at Boise last
week, was captured near Eagle and
brought to the Jail at Caldwell He
was wanted in this County for steal
ing a rife from Pete Watkins. living
near Middleton. The prisoner had his
hearing before Judge Hagelin Thurs
day. He pleaded guilty and was fined
$4,000. 1t was not believed that he
had any money to pay his fine but
his wife showed up and settled the
amount and the prisoner was dis
charged only to be arrested by an
officer from Ada County on the charge
of breaking jail. Gene Johnson es-
corted him back to Boise where he
was arrested on the charge of break
Ing Jail. Judge Leonard said 60 days
and the Ada County Jail now has

GENERAL HASTINGS
OF CRETE, NEBRASKA
Gives His Opinion Of the Jordan Valley Country
and B0UNDLESS HERDS GENEROUS WATER SUPPLY and
FERTILE SOIL...GREAT need OF A RAILROAD

when water has been turned upon it.
A glance at the map will convince
any thinking man of the urgent need
Of the proposed line Of railroad and
the extensive business at their hand
so soon as completed. My surprise is,
that railroad has not been built on
the proposed line, years ago. With
the diversity of crops, then generous
and fertile soil, the supply Of water,
the genial and salubrious climate. the
increasing population of sturdy, en-
terprising people, the proximity to
market both East to West confirms me
in my belief that Idaho and Eastern
Oregon will soon take rank among
the strongest agricultural and stock
producing countries. The mining in
terests already large, both in Idaho
and Oregon, are comparatively speak
ing, but in their infancy. The noun
tains have scarcely been scratched by
the prospector and miner, still the
mining industry is a large one and
constantly growing larger.
with a railroad along the project
ed line, this industry would develop
enormously. Southeastern Oregon
along the line of that railroad offers a
field for irrigation and development of
as rich, fertile and inviting conditions,
| as can be imagined. With the compile
ton of your line of railroad, there
| must inevitably come such develop
ment of that country as few now COM
prehend. The sheep and wool indus,
try in Southeastern Oregon Is already
enormous, the herds Of cattle and
horses immense, but with railroad IA
cilities provided, the waters of the
rivers and streams placed upon thai
fertile soil, the development will GER
tainly be astonishing, and the vale,
will smile with green fields and or
chards bringing wealth and prospect
ty to the fortunate owners.
with kindest regards and bes
wishes to you and to your associate
in your enterprise, 1 remain
Sincerely yours,
GEORGE H. HASTINGS.

Found In the Park.

Policeman Hodson found a man In
the railroad park Wednesday evening
after No. S had passed. The fellow
was SO weak that ne could not stand
up. Mr.. Hodson secured assistance
and had him taken to the hospital
where every assistance was rendered
him but failed as he died Thursday
evening about p. m. He said his
name was Nelson and that he came
from Nampa. No other information
could be obtained from him. He was

to provide first class market for all
farm produce, not fruit alone as many
suppose, but for every article the
farm produces that is raised in album
dance for the market, and get the top
price for the same. Similar organiza-
tons are abundant in Colorado and
other places where the associations
not only get a much larger price for
the farm produce, but also pays the
stockholders twenty-five per cent on
their investment. That there Ia an
urgent necessity and opportunity for
such an organization is apparent to
anyone who Is familiar with condi-
lions, and when the fact is known
that such an organization will bring
thousands of dollars to our communi-
ty and farmers, its Importance will at
once become apparent and should So
licit the hearty cooperation Of every
citizen of the County.
A most cordial invitation is extend
ed to every producer in Canyon Coun
ty to be present at the meeting In thu

The answer came back to submit it to
the city council The matter thus
stands until the next meeting of the
council. 1t is a we'll known fact that
the Mayor and city council have been
provided with annual passes over the
Interurban. 1t remains to be seen II
this fact will be sufficient to shield
the road from paying the bill If 1t Is
just one. There is no reason why
the Interurban should be exempt from
paying for city water just as any
other citizen or corporation, and 1t
is the opinion Of the Tribune that had
the matter been put squarely up to
them that the bill would have been
settled long since. But II Mayor
Smith has told them that it need not
be paid it is fair to assume that they
had an excuse for postponing or refus-
ing to pay the debt. However, the
matter will be disposed of one way OF
another at the next council meeting.

General George H. Hastings of Crete
Nebraska, recently made business
trip to Caldwell, for the purpose of
investigating the country through
which the Golden Gate route would
pass. Mr.. Hastings was attorney gem
eral of Nebraska, during the admins
tration of Governor THAR and is a
man of mature judgment, having seen
Nebraska grow from a struggling pop

of the union and is in position to look
into the future of this country. 1t Is

BOIL THE WATER.
Typhoid Fever Being Caused Here by
Contaminated Wells.


Several cases of typhoid fever have
developed in Standpoint during the
past week and persons using water
taken from wells are advised to boil
it before using. The supply fur
nished by the city company Is de-
clared to be all right, but that Sc
cured from other sources is declared
to be dangerous in many instances.
II had the water taken from sever
al wells analysed in Spokane two
years ago." said DR.. Charles K. Moody
"and it was found to contain typhoid
bacilli. This comes from the fact thai
surface water seeping through the
ground into the wells goes through
layer Of decomposed vegetable matter
and is thereby contaminated. Tht
only way for persons using watel
from wells to be safe is by boiling l
before drinking"
While the physicians are not alarm
ed over the situation, they are a uni
in advising the precaution of boiling
all water taken from wells before US
ing it for drinking purposes.-North
