A STORMY TRIP

Thos. Ashworth and family who
returned the latter part Of last
week from England where they have
been for the past four months re-
port a very stormy voyage across
the old Atlantic ocean. For days
the big liner on which they came
over was forced to lay up and bare
" use sufficient power to keep her
head to the waves. The family have
been across the ocean three times
and this was the hardest trip they
ever experineced. Miss McDermett
also returned with them as did two
gentlemen from England. a Mr.. Brew
ster and a Mr. Pugh. Both Of these
gentlemen will probably make this
their home and invest in property.

TRADERS DAY
BIG SUCCESS
Large Crowd in Town and Great
Deal of Stuff Changes Hands
Many Bargains Secured.

The traders day held in Payette
on Wednesday afternoon of this week
proved fully as successful as any
had anticipated and a large crowd
was in town that day to pick up the
rare bargains offered.
The sale started at ten o'clock and
Auctioneer Swanson was busy selling
articles ranging from a chair TO a
wagon until noon when the visitors
all enjoyed a free lunch. After din
ner the selling was continued until
all of the stock and heavy articles
were disposed of when the crowd
was invited to the Fitzgerald build
ing on Boise street where the mer-
chandise was disposed Of
1t was a large good natured crowd
and the success of the sale was such
as to warrant the arrangements for
a sale of that character every two
weeks which win probably be done.
1t was the opinion Of q great number
that the fact there were
no reserve prices put on the articles
was a great incentive OF buyers as
they felt that an article would be
honestly sold and would not be run
up by bi-bidding. This feature ap-
Dealed to the crowd and most every
thing sold brought a fair price The
date of the next sale viii be an
nounced in the near future.

Waters Reeedlna.

The flooded district along the
Snake river is drying up and the
people forced to flee from their
homes are all returnineaand in a
short time everything along the
Snake viii have resumed normal. It
is almost an impossibiiity to arrive
at the real damage though it is
not as great as was naturally suppos-
ed at first The principal part Of
the land flooded was pasture land
and when the stock was all reno ed
without loss the damage ended right
there as the flooding Of the land
will in reality have a beneficial eff
feet by spreading over the surface
a new coat of silt and fertilizer
The river began to fall on Thurs
day evening and has been steadily
going down and it is believed by
those familiar with the actions and
habits of the mighty old stream
that for the present the worst is
over but all are looking forward to
high water in both the
Payette and the Snake river about
June when the snow in the hills
goes off.

DEPUTY ASSESSOR
GETTING TO WORK

T. B. Long received his appoint
ment the first of this week as dep
uty assessor for this section and on
Wednesday began his work Mr.
Longs territory covers from Wash
ington county south to the VIM.
Blakslee place, east to J. w. Hayes
ranch and across the river to and
including the Berding island.
This year the assessor is required
to take military list which includes
all able bodied men from the age
of eighteen to forty-eight and is a
new departure for the assessors of
this county.
Another instruction that las here
tofore never been carried out but
which will be enforced this year
is; that when a person has person
al and no real property the tax must
be collected by the assessor when
the assessment is made. This will
be enforced rigidly according to the
demands of the commissioners.
In the past assessors have never
taken buildings in course of erection
into consideration but are this year
ordered to do so and this is anoth-
er new rule that the commissioners
are insisting upon being rigidly OBJ
served.
The appointment of Mr.. Long as
assessor will be generally pleasing to
Payette people as he will give to
the county prompt and efficient ser
vice and be eminently fair in his
work.

In talking with C. j. Holmes the
first of this week regarding the dam
age done to him by the recent flood
ing OF Washoe bottom by the Snake
river he expressed the fact that the
damage was very slight and that the
beneficial results would be much
greater than the damage. On his
ranch he said few fences were de-
stroyed but the wire and posts still
remain and days work would re-
pair every fence. Some of his land
was nicely leveled by the water and
all Of 1t that was inundated is cover
ed with a layer of rich silt fertilizer
which he thinks is of inestimable
value to him.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES.

Last Sunday commneced the sec
ond year of the present pastorate.
The year has added much, not only
to the membership roll, but to those
elements of spiritual life that, after
all, constitute a real church of
Christ A new and happy era seems
to be opening for the congregation,
and we all are greatly encouraged
by it.
The minister's report showed for
the years activities, 131 sermons,
400 services and public gatherings
attended, funerals conducted, and
three others for which his service
was requested, weddings solemniz-
ed, 2599 visist made in which 7779
people were met directly When
the above report was made, the
congregation enthusiastically voted a
resolution of appreciation of the
work done. A report in figures, how
ever, cannot portray, the new life
that pulses through the heart of the .
church. That must be felt to be- un-
derstood.
In the life of every church there
are occasions of great joy; and
again there are hours Of deep S, T
row When people come asking to
have part in the work we are trying
to do, that brings joy A week ago,
Mr.. and Mrs Hillerman and their
daughter, returned their names to
the roster. having returned to Pay
cite from salida, Colo. and last
Mrs. Harrington presented
her letter from Rockport, Mo, and
Mrs. Powell from Emmett, Idaho.
But one of the saddest, the very
saddest of our experiences for the
year was the loss OF beautiful, sweet
spirited Clara Soule. She was bap-
-ized but three months ago but in
that short time she was showing
many traits Of a rare Christian
character. The deep, sincere love

HOUSES IN DEMAND

large number of new people are
beginning to come inte Payette and
almost every day the demand is gett-

the town over for property to rent
and had hard time getting located.
With the number of people that are
sure to come to Payette this spring
there is going to be a lively demand
for houses in the city and it will be
question as to housing some of
them as at this time there are very
few empty ones in the city.

To the Democracy of Seventh Congressional
 District:

Prescott. Ark, Oct. 24. 1910.
 We call upon the democracy of the. Seventh Congressional district to turn out to the polls on Tuesday November 8. and support the Democratic candidate, Hon. W. S. Goodwin, of Bradley county.
 The November election will be enc of the most important held in tho county for the past twenty years and rsver has the outlook been brgntsr for Democratic triumph. The Reputlisan party throughout the country is divided and as Democrats have predicted for a quarter of century the Re publlcans have fallen cut among themselves over the greatest of all questions that have confronted any people the question of taxation. or, as commonly known in this country as the tariff question.
 The Republicans promised to lower the tariff, but the Payne Aldrieh bill revised it upward and still they are claiming recognition before an outraged peep Q.
 Three or four Congressional elections were held last spring in the Republican stfongholds of the north and east to supply vacancies in the lower house of Congress and in every instance Democratic candidates were overwhelmingly elected in districts that had never gone Democratic before.
 We presume the people are familiar with MT Goodwin's en- thusiasm for the upbuilding of the country in the way of Federal aid to the States in the establishment of agricultural schools. improve ment of our public roads. the drain- age of swamp oveffowed lands. as well as the improvement of our rivers.

The lien a M0ney-Maker.

Many tributes have been paid to the hen, which has always done more to keep the country going than any other one agency. And today she is doing better than ever. You don't have to kill geese in these days to get eggs that are golden, for anyone who can induce hens to lay just common eggs can simply wallow in lucre. A poultry journal commenting on this sub ject says:
 In 1909 the poultry products marketed in the United States ag- gregated value of $6O0.OOO.OOO which is $11o.ooo.ooo in excess of the entire gold output Of the country for the last ten years.
 When it is taken into consider ation that these figures on poultry represent only the products mark eted it can readily be seen that the entire poultry products of the na- tion would run into fabulous fig ures. It is estimated that sAmeri- can farmers and other poultry raisers consume three times as many fowls as they sell, and if that be the case the totalsvalue of poul- try products would be $2. 2.4OO.- 100000.
 The lumber sold in this country annually is valued at $5OO.OOO.- 900, or $1oo.ooo,ooo less than the poultry products marketed. Hog sales are the same as those of lumber and cotton sales amount to $4oo,ooo,ooo.
