r. f. Banker, Seattle land agent
for the Idaho Irrigation company,
was on the tract for several days

the prospects of the tract. Mr.

this place are agitating the move
ment to organize a brass band and
the Promoter only hopes that such
thing can be successfully accom-

enliven a town as much as a good

musicians who stand ready to as

The Commercial Club held a
meeting Monday. evening of this

business was transacted. II is
understood that steps will be taken
at once to complete the sign that

vertising plans of our little city.
Crops could not look better than
they do at the present time With |
plenty of warm weather and water
in abundance, the lot of the Die
trich farmer should surely be a /
happy one. There is no doubt but |
that a market will be found at
home for everything he will have |
to dispose of this fall and the indi-
cations are that prices will be Of |
the best.

Tuesday, July Is.
The people who live in the great
state of Idaho are surely fortunate
beings. While the east and the
middle west are being tightly grip
Jed by drough and intense heat,
he people of the Gem of the
Mountains are enjoying perfect

rom the snow capped mountains
o temper the suns rays in the
alleys below. AT night a blanket
: none too much covering and
hose who have toiled through the
lay are assured of a good nights
est. The people of the mountain
tates can scarcely realize that
ok are dying by the hundreds in
he east from prostration by the
1tense heat.
