ENTERPRISE.

Mr.. James Farrell went to Caldwell this
week for a load of supplies. Seneca
Walker, who spent the holidays with his
parents, has returned to Oregon to resume
his studies. Claud and Eugene Moon
went to Boise Sunday, to go back to
school, and their mother came down the
same day to spend few weeks on the
ranch. > Mrs. J. w. Griffeth and
daughter, have returned to their home
after few days visit with friends in
Nampa. Among the Nampa visitors
this week were Mr.. o. Shirley and Mr..
E. Carson. Both men report the roads
to be in very bad condition. y In
order to meet the financial situation of
the irrigation project through the valley,
the residents are paying ten cents per
acre instead of five as first agreed upon.
This was caused by there being so many
nonresident property holders. The bust
ness is about all completed and will be
presented to the Co. Com. at their next
meeting. y The prompt action of the
settlers, and the organizers of the ditch
are worthy of great praise. = - A re-
monstrance against the county division
is being signed by every voter.

adjourned the guests were welcomed
to the lodge room and the lower
hall, where all proceeded to have an en-
joyable time in games, dancing and other
social pleasures. At II o'clock all were
invited to partake of the banquet, which
had been prepared by the Sisters. and
but why try to describe it, words fail to
do it justice-we can assure our readers
that it was one Of the finest on record.
For good cooks and free hearted, jolly
people Silver City takes the cake.
The unusual long spell ofrainy weather,
for this time of the year in this locality,
has at last passed by and we are now en-
joying the bright, sunshiny winter eli
mate, with the mercury just few points
below freezing, so common to the Owy-
hee Mountains. The deep snow that
covered the hills was thoroughly saturated
with the rain and has settled over one
half in depth, but very fortunate colder
weather set in before the snow and rain
had turned into running water, and the
snow banks are now almost solid cakes
of ice. In the lower parts of the country
the snow is all gone and the streams must
have been all out of their banks and
much damage done.
Assessor o. F. Brunzell is in attendance
on the gathering Of Assessors at Boise.
This farce is still kept up of meeting to
agree on some basis of assessment, and
then failing to deliver the goods. We
understand that the agreement this time
is to assess at 40 per cent of the actual
value.

A ROYAL COMPANY.

BY signing the bin for the creation
OF the Calaveras national forest In
California President Roosevelt took
the last step necessary 10 save for all
time the most famous grove Of trees
In the world. In the achievement
OF this desirable end the people OF the
state OF California and the several hun
dred OF the California club are deserv.
ing Of large measure OF credit. The
campaign for the preservation Of this
famous grove has been waged for the
past nine years. Recently an arrange.
ment wag made whereby the owner IN
return for the concession n 10 receive
In exchange for the timber which he
reiinquishes nm equal stumpage on 9th.
er forest land owned by the govern.
ment. The north part OF the grove
contains ten trees each having a diam.
eter OF twenty-five feet or over and
more than seventy ranging IN diane
Ter from fifteen to twenty-five feet.
THE father Of the forest" now pros
trnte. Is estimated by those who have
measured II to have had height Of
45O feet and a diameter al the ground
OF more than forty feet when IL was
standing. The Massachusetts" con
tains 10000 board feet OF lumber and
Governor stoneman" 10000 board
feet, Some idea Of the enormous size
OF these big trees Is gained when II Is
known that they contain as much lum-
Der as would be produced on an ordI.
nary wood lot Of fifteen acres.

A FEW F,o,,ars.

The salary asked by buttermaker
Is often magnified out of all proportion
by shortsighted directors and his DO.
tentiality as money maker for the
plant us often ignored or overlooked.
While there Is no buttermaker who
can produce an extra quality OF butter
from a poor batch Of cream, the quail.
ty OF the product depends, notwith.
standing, largely upon the way the
cream is handled after II comes into
the makers hands. II the output of a
creamery is 100000 pounds year, a
difference Of half n cent In the sale
price of the product means 81 800 for
the year and a margin of cent $1,000.
while II the price falls cents below
what II might have been with PROPER
handling the loss to the concern Is
$4,000 in the course Of twelve months.
There is food for thought In the above
figures that the directors Of many a
creamery company might ponder with
profit.
The Democratic advocate., 1909-04-02
CAUGHT IN THE wINDuP.

A fellow we heard Of the other day
justified the careless and even filthy
handling of the cream which he
brought to the cooperative concern In
which he was interested by saying
that he>got just as much per inch for
his dirty product as other patrons did
for that which was clean and did not
waste as much time fussing as they.
On the surface of things his statement
was correct, as the average creamery
does not pay It's patrons on the basis
of quality but quantity OF butter fat
only However, at the next stage Of
the game a different state OF affairs
prevails, When the butter from this
creamery is shipped to any city which
pretends to be a butter market the
product Is not only weighed but tested
by a butter expert, who can spot but
ter made from tainted cream Just as
quick as said filthy farmer could a rot
ten egg in breakfast omelet. Such
a consignment OF butter-at least all
that made from given vat Of cream
would be tainted with one bad mess
OF cream, and as a result the price
would be docked several cents per
pound. The upshot is that when the
check for such consignment Is sent
back to the creamery manager It Is
dollars less than It ought to be, the
filthy patron and every other decent
patron of the concern sharing alike In
the loss. The only way out OF this
situation is for the buttermaker to
keep close eye and a still closer nose
on the product of the dirty patron aud
refuse 1t when II Is not above rcproach.
