Improvement Notes.
AS no one seems to have a DISPOSE
ton to want to bid on the Sixth ave-
nue. sidewalks the council voted to re-
advertise for new bids. This will be a
chance for some enterprising contractor
to lay walks on Sixth avenue from
Broadway to Carolina street.
The assessment and benefits roll for
Ridge road, which is to be narrowed
| in parts, was confirmed as was the
| roll for the east side of Broadway from
| the Pennsylvania tracks to Twenty

The plat for block six, East Hyde
Park subdivision, was rejected because

Hot Lake Superior to Hot
Springs

The Bales-Jones Company's office
here is in receipt of a letter from Mr..
Thomas w. Bales, the President Of
the Company, stating that he and his
family have arrived safely in Hot
Springs, Arkansas, have secured a
cozy fve-room cottage and settled
down for a visit of two months or
more, during which time he will un-
dergo thorough course of treatment
for the rheumatism which has troubled
him for the past year.
Mr.. Bales draws a sharp compari-
son regarding the care and treatment
of patients, between Hot Springs, Ar
kansas, and Hot Lake, Oregon, which
is highly in favor Of the Oregon re-
sort. A patient arrives in Hot
Springs, secures accommodations at a
hotel or boarding house, consults one
of the many doctors in the city, and is
referred by him to some bath house,
with instructions as to what character
Of bath to take. Except for the time
the patient is with his doctor or in the
bath house, he is entirely his own
master and at liberty to indulge in
any folly that may suggest itself. As
consequence many patients derive
little or no benefit even from an ex.
tended course Of treatment.
When a patient arrives at Hot
Lake, Oregon, he reports at the offict
Of the head physician, undergoes 8
thorough examination, and at once
becomes subject to discipline as stric'
as that Of the regular army. His fooe
and drink, his baths and exercise, his
daily habits, are all strictly prescribed
and no variation is allowed unless By
order of the head physician. As there
is nothing at the Lake except the
Sanatarium itself, he is under nc
temptation to break the rules, and Al
a consequence investigation will show
an immense percentage Of cures fol
the Oregon resort.
The cost of living and of medica
treatment at Hot Lake is much lowe
than at Hot Springs, and the averag
patient can secure better accommoda
tions and more conscientious medica
treatment for less money at Ho
Lake, Oregon, than he can at Ho
Springs, Arkansas.
Mr.. Bales recent experience at bot
resorts make his opinion of interest t
his friends in this vicinity.

The engagement Of Miss Louise

An Original Band

The "Bingville Horn Band we be-
lieve it has playfully been called,
made its first public appearance Sat
urday night, having been employed
on that occasion to lead the "Dokie'
parade, is quite musical organization
after all and should not be made as
light of as the name would suggest.
At the present time there are twelve
members of the organization. There
is not the best talent of the city nor
the worst in the band but some pretty
good players. All are not solo artists
by any means but there is harmony
not only in musical sense but in a
social way as well.
Elmer Shaw is the leader and is
doing wonders. We understand this
band is original in several ways, viz.
there is no jealousy and no contribu-
tions will be asked for from the pub
lie. Now then isn't this an original
musical organization?

Farmers Preparing to Break
Away From Grain Co.'S.
PREPARE TO OPERATE THREE
Committees Appointed With
Power to Act

1t now seems that the Farmers
Union is going to break away from
the privately owned warehouses and
erect places for the storage Of grain
themselves, at least this was the object
Of the meeting Of the Grangeville local
held in this city last Saturday. As
evidence of the interest taken in such
move Of the $50 members of the
Grangeville local Saturday found over
100 at the meeting. The advisability
of building and purchasing was dis.
cussed and there was considerable diff.
ference of opinion. 1t is said an Of
fer has been made for the warehouses
at Fem and Grangeville, now owned
by a certain company and until this
matter is settled nothing will be done
in the way Of building at those two
points.
However it seems the farmers fee
that it is necessary to have another
shipping point between the two places
and will ask the railroad company t.
build spur from the right-ofway
where it passes through the Knorl
place and will erect a $4,000 ware
house at that point.
Before adjourning the matter wa
placed in the hands of a committee O
seven from each district and said com
mittee was given full power to act.
The bulk Of the grain raised in thi
section Of the country is produced By
the members Of the union and with it
rapid growth it looks as though prac
tically all of the grain and hay raisee
in this section will go through tn
Union warehouses.

ments.

Sell More Combines

Up to several years ago the i'm
mense crops of grain on Camas Prairie
were harvested by the old method, not
with the fail but by the binder and
steam thresher, but as years rolled by
progress in the harvesting of grain
made strides as we'll as progress in
other lines and now we have the COM
bined thresher on the Prairie where
the work is done at one fourth the
cost of the old method. We believe
there were three or four machines on
the Prairie last year and their success
has been easily demonstrated.
As an example of the importance
Camas Prairie has gained on the out
side as great grain country we sight
the opening Of this territory this year
by another company, the Best Manu-
featuring Co. of SanLeandro, CAL,
and Walla Walla, Wn. H. A. Cald-
well, representative of that company
having been here for the past fort
night meeting the ranchers and show
ing the points of his machine.
The Best people are the oldest COM
bine people in the country and have
been making combines for years, al
ways keeping up with all that is mod
ern. The company builds both steam
and horsepower machines, traction en-
gines and grain cleaners and has
over 1900 machines operating success
fully in Oregon and Washington to-
day. The local supply agency has been
secured by Messrs. Eimers- Wood and
several machines have already been
placed.
Mr.. Caldwell sure knows the com.
bine business from A to z and his ex.
planation of the points of his machine
is plain and clear. A great many
Questions are put to machine men,
these questions appear foolish, maybe
are, but to rancher who is about to
make such radical change in his
method Of operation they all seem o
J Importance. Caldwell never seems t.
tire of answering any and all question
and by his frankness and fairnes
makes many friends for the "Best

Cos 900 Worth of Machinery
Will be Installed at Once.

The Sans Souci property of 10
claims lying south Of Florence Camp
in Central Idaho has been optioned
for $4,000 by the j. 7. Hearn syndi-
cate Of Chicago, and extensive devel-
oument work on the mine will be be-
gun as soon as the snow melts in the

The deal was closed in Spokane re-
Gently by Charles H. Sanderson, a
mining expert in the employ Of the
Hearn syndicate, who last August ex-
amined the Sans Souci. Mr.. Sander
son, whopassed through Spokane en-
route for Grant County, Oregon, to
examine copper property for his
clients, was met here by Samuel Scho-
6eldj representing the seven owners OF
the Sans Souci group, all residents Of
Owyhee County, Idaho, and the op-
ton, which has life Of three years,
was signed.
The Sans Souci ground is traversed
by ledge Of free gold ore, which
crops for nearly 400 feet and shows a
width on the surface varying from two
to FIVE feet. This ore body has been
opened by succession Of open cuts,
and has been tapped at a depth Of 11O
feet by crosscut tunnel, which ex-
posed five-foot vein of ore carrying
an average across the face of $21.82 a

Mr.. Sanderson has outlined the flu.

His plans, which will be followed by
the Hearn syndicate, provide for a
SOO-foot crosscut tunnel to tap the
ledge at depth of $50 feet, after
which 30O-foot drift will be run to
get under a hugh iron Gaping,

More Hay Rules

The subject "How to Measurs Hay
which has been discussed in the col
umns of the Free Press for several
weeks past has brought forth all kinds
of rules, each with its defenders. This
week we present the following two
rules. That of A. f. Parker is the
simplest one SO far offered. Here is
what Mr.. Parker has to say:
Editor Free Press:-Please ask
something easy. To find the amount
of hay in a NOW, allow 512 cubic feet
for a ton, and it will come out very
generally correct.
A. F. Parker.
Frye Il Bruhn, prominent stock
buyers of the Coast, submit the follow
ing rule:
Seattle, WASH, February, 7, 1910.
Messrs Bales & Jones,
Grangeville, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
We are in receipt of the clipping re-
garding the various hay measure
ments. Up to the present time we
have not discovered rule that would
net the buyer ton of hay Of 1000
lbs. During 25 years purchasing hay
in the stack we have tried various
rules with varied success. We estab-
lished what is known as the Frye
Bruhn rule about Is years ago, cor
responding to your rule No. 3, viz:
Subtract the width from the Over,
divide by 2, multiply by the length,
divide by 512.
Considering that we are obliged to
measure stacks Of all sizes and dimen-
sions in various degrees Of settlement
we believe this rule works out to the
best advantage Of seller and buyer.
Suffice it to say, we will use no other
rule in the purchase of hay in the
stack.
Yours truly
Frye & Bruhn, Inc.
Per A. f. Heiberg.
