lily.

Last Saturday afternoon while Mr.
and Mrs. C. V. Mitchell living on
the bench were over across the Snak
river on the Oregon side of the riv-
er and there was no one about
their premises hobees entered the
house and ransacked the residence,
taking away with them a suit of
clothes and an overcoat. There is no
exact clue to the robbers other than
the neighbors saw two tough look
ing characters walking along the road
west of the Mitchell ranch carrying
big bundle and it is believed that
these were the parties that burglar
lied the Mitchell home.
Just as they were leaving home Mr..
and Mrs. Mitchell met two very tough
looking men walking along the road
but at that time gave no thought to
their appearance other than they
were both strangers as they were not
acquainted with them. The description
of the two men seen by the neigh
bors carrying the bundle tallies exact
ly with the two men Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell met when leaving the home.
The officers of Ontario and Payette
were notified but up to this time the
has not been found nor the
men apprehended.

DEATH OF LEMuEL PRATT.

Payette residents were filled with
sorrow and surprise on Tuesday
morning of this week to learn of the
sudden death of Lemuel Pratt a well
known and respected resident of this
city. Mr.. Pratt had been a sufferer
for years from Bright's disease but
it was not generally known that he
was in a dangerous condition. He
had been subject to severe attacks
but for the past few days had been
feeling as well as usual. Monday
evening he expressed no unusual con-
dition as to himself but was strick-
en- early Tuesday morning and pass
ed suddenly away. Other complica-
tions other than the chronic ailment
FASTENED the failure of nature to
withstand the inroads of disease.
Lemuel Pratt was well known to a
large number of Payette people. He
was one of those quiet unassuming
men that win their way into the
hearts of many by their true worth
and high standard of citizenship.
He was born February 26th, 1S43,
at Dover, Maine. His parents emf
grated to Iowa when he was three
years old. During. the war Of the re-
bellion Mr.. Pratt served with honor
and distinction with the Fourteenth
Iowa Infantry.
On October 2Tth, 1865 he was uni
ted in marriage to Julia ogg and to
this union were born five children,
all Of whom are living. c. E. Pratt
and Mrs. Henry Beckwith, Of Payette,
[. B. Pratt, of Harmony, Minneso-
ia, Mrs. ]. J. Parks and Mrs. H. O..
Adams, of Fredericksburg, Iowa.
In 1899 the family moved to North
Dakota where they resided Eut
short time, coming to Payette in 1900
where Mr.. Pratt has since made his
homeI

ternoon at which time e. f. Allen the
local weather man advised the club
that should the business men make
preparations to handle daily frost

be given US. All the government de-
sired to know was that the report
would be handled in such manner
tha thte growers would get it prompt
ly. The club designated NJ. f. AL
bert as chairman of the public affairs
committee the proper person to han
die the report and alsop sased a res
olution asking the government for the
daily service. Mr.. Albert will receive
the telegraphic warnings daily from
Portland and on receipt of same viii
at once notify both telephone compa-
nies of the message who in turn have
agreed ts at once notify all grow
ers having phones of the exact con-
ditions of the weather. The govern
ment reports will reach Payette fully
eight hours ahead Of any danger.
This viii provide adequately for gen
eral conditions, To provide for safe
ty in local conditions a committee of
business men have been appointed to
arrange for the purchase of two fine
thermometers exactly like those use
by The government at their weather
stations. Two locations viii be Sc
lected for these thermometers in Pay
cite and arrangements will be made
whereby every night during the dan
ger period they win be read hourly
and should the temperature show any
signs of going down to the danger
point the alarm will be given in am
pie time to allow all the growers to
get their smudge pots going. in ample /
time to provide all the protection
they viii give.
A committee has also been appoint /
ed 10 secure the names Of all parties
who will agree to get up at any hour
in the night and go out to any or

PeopIe Attend pemonstration

The rooms of the Payette Nation
al Bank were crowded most of the af-
ternoon last Saturday by people in
terested in the demonstration of the
new burglar alarm recently installed
by the bank. c. K. VanAuken, sales,
man for the company handling the
alarm was in charge of the demon
stration and thoroughly explained the
workings of the alarm to the crowd.
lie proved absolutely that it was i'm
possible to attack the vault from
doors, walls, ceiling or floor without
setting off the alarm which will ring
continuously for from six to twelve
hours. One feature of the alarm that
caused considerable surprise was the
proven fact that the cutting of any
of the wires sets off the alarm and
has the same effect that any other
attack on the vault has. The gentle
man made the statement that banks
equipped with the safety burglar a.
larm could get their burglar insur-
ance for 50 per thousand and dump
the money on the floor of the vault
He cited an instance Of bank in
North Dakota that had been paying
s12 per thousand insurance and on
the installation of an alarm of this
pattern were allowed a rate of $1.5e
per thousand.

BRIDGE WILL BE
REPAIRED SOON AS POSSIBLE

There has been considerable worry
expressed by a number of growers
this spring as to the condition of the
Payette Valley Railroad bridge. Many
of them have feared that it would
not be repaired in time to permit of
the handling of the large amount of
supplies that will be handled on the
bench this year. In speaking with
General Manager Dunn about the con-
tlftions. of the bridge he said: "Just
as. soon az the ice goes out the bridge
will be put in slla pc to handle traits.
should It not be sayfurtFier damaged

Should the balance OF the Nh dae be

ipate that there will be any difficulty
whatever in the handling of supplies
