Locates In Psyette.

Payette visitor the first of this week
and after looking over the valley pur-
chased through the agency of Dono-
van & Stoufer land across the
track on the west side. He went on
to Portland Tuesday but will soon

Bad Floods In the East.
From the daily disatches the re-
port comes that in many esatern
states floods are causing much dam
age. In Wisconsin and Nebraska
heavy rains have raised rivers and
large sections are inundated with
considerable loss OF crops, stock and
buildings. In Utah there has also
been much damage in the southern
part from floods last week.
Enjoyable Dance.
The dance given in the opera house
on last Wednesday evening at which
the music wRs furnished by Bush
nell's orchestra proved TO be a very
enjoyable and delightful one. The
music was all that could be desired
and the opinion among the dancers
is that the dances at which the
Bushnell orchestra furnish the music
are going to be successful and en-
ioyable.
Rain At State Fair.
The State Fair at Boise opened
Monday in a downpour of rain and il

ports the exhibits at the fair are

Strike Still On.
There is not much change in
the aspect of affairs regarding the
strike OF shopmen and machinists on
the Hartman lines. Trains have
been running slightly irregular but
not as bad yet as is expected should

have been put at work but at some
Of the smaller division points not
many men are working. At Hunting

es are at work and some of tho Of
