HOW is YOUR COAL SUPPLY?
Dealers Notified that Fuel Will be
Short this Winter.

If you haven't a good supply of
coal in your bin, gentle reader, you
had better be making arrangements
for some, because it is going 10
be scarce this winter.
Local dealers have been notified
that owing to an irregular car sup
ply and an enormous demand for i'm
media-e shipment the coal pro-
ducers of southern Wyoming find
themselves overwhelmed with or
ders, and one mine operator states
that it will be impossible for him
to fill present orders during the
next 80 days. This is especially
true of lump coal. Nut coal is
more plentiful So, as We said at
the beginning, if your coal supply
is short, you'd better get busy.

Bought a SaMdust Pie.

Bob Wells, who is working with
a crew of Bell telephone linemen
in Long Valley, gained a nickname
last week that will probably stick
to him through the remain
der of his life According to the
story brought to town. Bob attend
ed a pie social at Thunder, and
this pastry was sold, a pie at a
time, to the highest bidder. Bob
was a little backward at lirs
about bidding. Some of the pies
we're thin, others too pale; some
were not well cooked and others
were burned. But when great big
pie, cooked to a turn and filled
two inches or more with what ap-
Peared to be meat from a pumpkin,
he got interested, and after spirit
ed bidding, the prize was knocked
down to him. But it cost a days
all appearances, the pie was
wages and two bits besides. From
worth the money, and it looked
so tempting that Bob couldn't wait
till he got to his camp before sam
pling it. And now the boys call
him "Sawdust'' Wells.

CHAIN OF OATMEAL AND
FLOUR MILLS
Long Valley, Brownlee and
Possibly Nampa to
be the Sites.

A chain of three mills for the
manufacture of flour and oatmeal,
one to be located at VanWyck, an
other at Brownlee and the third at
Nampa, all to be built and placed
in operation during the coming year
are the plans of Theodore Kipp
of Cedar Rayids, Iowa who ar
rived in town Friday and has
just returned from a trip to Long
Valley and intermediate points.
Mr. Kipp is practical miller.
He is at present superintendent of
an extensive oatmeal plant at Des
Moines, Iowa, but will resign his
position at once and move to En-
nett to superintend the building
of the three mills named above. Las
summer he made feis first trip to
this section and continued his jour
ney to Long valley. He was so
deeply impressed by the superior
quality of the grain raised not
only in Long Valley, but also in
the Brownlee country, that he de-
cided to install plants to manufac-
ture the grain into food products.
In an interview with The Indev,
Mr.. Kipp said that there was no
reason why Idaho should send out
of the state for its flour or any
of its cereal products; that the
grain produced here has no superior
At the start, only flour and oat-
meal will be manufactured, but
as the business in these lines be-
comes established other cereal pro-
ducts, commonly known as break
fast foods, VIII be added and it
is the expectation and ambition of
Mr. Kipp to build up in this sec
tion an immense cereal manu- ac-
turing business that will consume al
Of the grain produced in the en-
tire Payette valley and the tribut-
airy grain producing sections.
The Brownlee mill will be locat-
ed on the Idaho Northern railroad,
and Nr. Kipp has already filed up
on a homestead at the point upon
which he will piece the mill.

THE ORDER
Prof. w. H. Olin Would Have
Farmers Mix Brains
With Their Soil.

Our specially" 70 borrow an ex-
/ preston Of character in a recent
play, is what Professor W. H.
Olin Of the university department
of extension wants each locality
to produce, and that alone, says
I the Statesman. He believes that
there is a certain crop for each val
ley, for each section of the state,
which can be raised 10 eclipse all
other crops, and he thinks that the
farmers ought 10 ind out what
that crop is. He says that there
are some places in the state where
they raise only three varieties of
apples, while other places raise
40 varieties He thinks that the
valley which raises the three has
standardized its fruit, that it made
a maIset of its own where it will
have little competition OF any kind,
for it has found just the thing
which the soil and other conditions
OF that valley can produce bet.s.
than any other part Of the 81
perhaps.
Professor OItu said: Years
g man came into Bonner's Fe
and made a study of the soil,
climate and other conditions thad
ect the crops OF a community. He
found that that country was the
ideal place to raise celery; ne found
that the soil would produce celery
far better than it would produce
anything else, and he specialized on
celery. Today he sells every bit
o. his crop TO the railroad company,
which takes it off of his ha
