Harry Moon and his wife who live
on a dry farm had gone to bed tn
other evening not thinking of any
trouble. About nine o'clock they
and the little family, were brought
to realize that a band of night rid
ers were noisely demanding admit
lance and that quickly. Upon open
ing the outside door a crowd of rela
tives and friends took possession
and a genuine surprise was in order
Many practible and useful presents
were offered to the young couple.
After several hours of fun and jol-
lily, the visitors left, leaving a vel
happy family to remember the oc-
casion,
The old timers of the valley can
tell you the story of l.. NJ. Rose.
Mr.. Rose was from Ellgin, ILL.,, he
was an imaginative spirit, he had
ideas of his own. one of which was
that the valley would raise prunes.
That is after the trees had gotten
a foot hold. then the crop of fruit.
But it required water. hence a pump
and a place to install the machine.
A prune orchard was what the val
ley of the Snake needed. he was the
man, the promoter, the spirit that
as to change the conditions of all
mankind. Water was a commodity
that even the prune trees could not
do without, thusly a pump. This
man was a genious, an inventor, in
fact. A pump of a perpetual mo-
ton was the one; he had it; he
established it at the present site
of the water works pumping station.
Mr.. Roses pump was unique, in
fact a marvel. 1t was of a pendu-
lum motion, a big rock worked one
half of the quadrant. it required a
big husky to take the inverse. Now
today there is no prune orchard in
the valley of the Snake and the peo-
pie have to get their prunes from
California. Those who doubt tbs
story talk with Jack Hayward, o
the Tannery, Or DR.. Sullivan.
A very interesting meeting of the
public school teachers of this val
ley was held Saturday afternoon il
the principals room of the schoo
house in this place. After a pre-.
liminary talk and statement as t.
the needs of the teachers of the
valley it was decided upon, as +,
best for all purposes, to organic
a teachers association, which wa
done. Another meeting was called
for Saturday February 4, at two D
m. to be held in Rockland. The fol
lowing subjects are up for discu!
sion. Records and reports by Miss
Nettie Rice; punctuallity by Thos
r. Guy. A general discussion viii
follow each subject. This organiza
ton OF the teachers into an associa-
ton is a start in the right direction
Teachers should have a club or un-
ion at which they may meet for
business talks as well as for social
pleasure. Many things occur dur
ing the school week that are
picking and warrisome, that to
certain extent may be amended or
modified by a timely little talk. Il
is hard at times for one to meet a
subjects that arise, hence it is good
and seemingly to meet in association
