County Commissioner.

According to long established
custom. this is the year for the up
per Payette valley to have the
county commissionership. The
present member of the board from
this district is w. IL. Plat of Pay
cite. lie has made a good official
ard no complaint of sectional
partiality has been made against
him. Nevertheless, the practice
of alternating this office between
ahe two sections of the valley is a
good one and should be continued,
James yanderdasson, farmer liv-
ing a few miles down the valley
from this city, has signified his in
tention of being candidate before
the Republican convention for this
important position and the indica'
tions are he will have no opposit-
tion from this section. He is a
man admirably fitted for the posi-
tion. He has been a resident Of
this end of the valley for 20 years
and knows the country like book.
He is level headed, conservative
yet progressive, broad enough 10
legislate for the whole county and
thoroughly capable and reliable.
He will detract nothing from the
present high standing of the board.

Random Thoughts.

1t is amusing to see how some people
go at it to dispense charity, and then
they seem to think they are all right,
too. Ii the report comes in that fam
lily is in need, they "tell every one they
see, but it is about the last thing they
ever think of to put the hand in their
own pockets and give or send them aid.
We once heard woman lecturer remark
that tracts were the poorest fodder that
was ever given to a hungry man or WON.
an" and there is a world OF homely
truth in it. She said the Salvation
Army fed them first and talked religion
afterwards. There is but little want or
suffering in this town or country com
paratively, but there is always chance
to exercise charity. 1t may be that you
will not have a chance to alleviate hun
ger and thirst, but cheering word is
sometimes the best charity that can be
dispensed. It is not always the sick
that require charity; many time de-
spondency comes to those in good bodily
health, and despondent mind is one OF
the worst misfortunes that can overtake
anyone. A cheering word or helping
hand at such times is like finding an
oasis in the desert. This life is too short
to go through the world practicing sci
tishness. "Limber up;" get your hand
in your pocket once in while, and don't
forget to drop a cheering word to those
who need it. You will feel better, and
the world will judge you better; and no
matter if they don't, it is the right thing
to do

At the meeting OF the board of direc.
tors following. the tax levy for the dis.
trict was fixed at 15 mills, the extreme
limit allowed by law. This was done in
order to increase the revenue sufficiently
to meet the expenses of the district,
which are likely to be considerably in
creased during the next few years. The
present levy of eight mills was found too
low, the board facing an Indebtedness of
500 or more for the year. The Is mill
levy will bring the district something
like 1920, which sum it is thought will
meet the yearly expenses. The increase
in the levy was absolutely necessary and
should meet with the approval of all the
taxpayers OF the district.

The Long Drouth Broken with Two
Foot Snowfall and an Estimated
Precipitation of Two Inches.

The most severe May snow storm since

o'clock, continuing without any let up
until Tuesday noon. Monday and Mon
day night high wind accompanied the
snow, which drifted badly in places,

Mexico, and broke a drouth of many
thousands of dollars to the farmers ard
stockmen Of the state, many districts
suffering from scarcity of moisture.
Here on the divide it is impossible to
estimate the value of the snowfall in
dollars and cents. During the writer's
more than seven years residence here
we never saw a snowfall SO gladly vel
coined as this one. With the disappear
,dnce OF the frost this spring the ground
was the dryest for many years and many
farmers previous to the storm had little
or no grain in the ground, it being too
dry and hard to plow. On the other
hand, many went right on with their
work and put in wheat and other grain.
With the disappearance of the snow all
work will be resumed and the next five
or six weeks will be mighty busy ones
with the farmers of the divide country
and the entire state.

ton. The scare over the alleged unsafe
condition of the school house and the
closing of the school on account of diph-

in the attendance which always hurts a

parents will keep their children in school

deplorable fact but none the less true.
