of Literature Pertaining 10

That the Land show held six weeks ago
left an indelible impression upon the
mind Of the city people is evidenced by the
fact that the sale OF agriculture and nor
tcultural books has been tremendous.
The sale Of these books is altogether at
tributable TO the Land show, says Mr.
Kieser OF the book department OF The
Bennett company.
The class Of people buying them repre-
sent all classes from the laboriRg man TO
many OF Omahas millionaires / have also
noted that some have already bought land.
while in almost every case where no land
has been purchased they contemplate doing
so. The travelling men from the eastern
states are some Of the most interested pur-
chasers. 1t has turned the eye OF the city

NO doubt In its eagerness to cut the
limits down from 1000 feet, a radius within
which the revision bill gave the council
power to order street improvements, the
house went further than Il anticipated
There has been much objection to the pro
vision which increases the limit $500 feet
Instead OF striking out the figures 1000 and
inserting 800 therein. the amendment
strikes out the whole provision. This means
that the city council cannot order any i'm

There are q lot of smooth gen
tlemen in this country, who smil-
ingly inform us that sucker is
born every minute, that few die,
ana none ever stop sucking.
These so-called suckers" they
tell us, have their savings depos-
tied in Savings Bank, and are
content to receive meager pit
tance OF 4 per cent. The thing
to do, according to theory, is to
show them how to make their
money earn 4 per cent a week or
a minute (the amount being linn
tied only by the imagination of
the promoter) and then you get
the sucker on the string Our
theory is tnat the man who has
his money invested in bank as
safe as this one better leave it
there because while the rate of
interest is but 4 per cent, the
rate of security is 100 per cent
and the latter feature is by no
means to be ignored IN deciding
where to place your money,
Don't think that some CRATER
who never saw you has more
interest in you than your home
banker The former is after
your money only. Look out for
him. Come to us and get the
facts regarding any scheme
which may be presented to you.
We pay 4 per cent on savings
deposits and compound the in
terest quarterly.

There has been some talk in
Oakley, since the election of the
Goose Greek watermaster, that
the express choice of the water
users IN the election OF J. c. De
Lamnre, of Marion, was to
be ignored, as influence had
been brought to bear to secure
the reappointment of A. A. Tan
ner. the former incumbent, de-
spite the fact that the vote at
the election this month resulted

| anner's continuance. AS every
one uude stands, the manner OF
appointment is for the water
users to vote as to their prefer
ence, the candidate receiving the
highest number OF votes being
commissioned as watermaster
by the state water commission
er of the division in which the
election is held.
Commissioner James McMil-
Ian, state water commissioner
Tor the I'd division, which com
prise s Oakley and Marion
among other towns of the sys
tenn, wrote as follows to Mr..
De Lamare, in regard to the
matter, on the Oath:

State Water Commissioner
Second Division.
Mr.. c. De LaMare, Oakley,
Idaho:
Dear Sir-Yours OF the 14th
reached me while out on one of
my trips. | expect now to be in
Oakley next Tuesday, arriving
by train and spending a day |
there if necessary. | would like
to meet as many of the partici-
pants IN the election as DO. siblc,
and to see the ballots. Will you
kindly help me along these lines,
and oblige Yours truly,
James Mcmillan.
Water Com. Second Div"
Tuesday afternoon about fifty
water users from Marion vicin-
ity awaited the commissioners
arrival, but the gentleman did
not arrive as scheduled. Instead
came a letter from him to Mr..
De La Mare. which read substan-
italy as follows:
"Mr. DeLaMare: Dear Sir-I
shall not be able to be in Oakley
on Tuesday as | promised. 90

month, and shall be busy here
until that time. Yours truly,

All of which goes to prove .
that all things doubtful are very ]
Mr. McMillan's S sue
cessor, we learn, is Dr. Albee, of
Rock Greek, former Oakley res |
ldent and a gentleman who has
a reputation of being fair and
honest IN all his dealings. ]
AS the records of the state 1
water commissioner will show, /,
water users here have paid :
higher rate per acre for water J
used last season than has been :
paid IN any other part of the !,

the desired change. How can
Oakley or any other growing
