crops EXCELLENT.

The threshing machines are in
full swing in this section now.
There are three or four steam
machines running in and around
Oakley. The dry farms on Il {
east are the best in the history of
the country. The Weld is running
around % bushels per acre of
wheat, and oats and barley in
proportion.
1t is doubtful if the crops were
ever better throughout this sec
tion than this year.
On the irrigated sections some
patches of grain have been so
heavy and have fallen to the
ground so badly that it has been
almost impossible to get them
cut properly.
The fruit crop is also very
heavy. The cool nights that
have been so frequent for some
time past has caused many to
feel that some of the crop would
not ripen but each day is helping
the matter out wonderfully.
There are a number of orchards
where the apple trees are loaded
to such an extent that it looks as

Streets Will
be Lighted.
CITY CONTRACTS FOR TEN
LIG HTS.

At an adjourned meeting of the
Village Board held Tuesday even
ing the question of procuring
lights for the streets OF the village
was taken up and discussed pro
and con for some time.
Messrs. Wilcox and Woltz rep
resenting the great Shoshone and
Twin Falls Water Power Com
pany were present with con-
tracts which the village officers
signed for the number of lights
specified
There was considerable discus
sion concerning one clause in the
contract that provided that the
village should buy all electricity
tor the next ten years from the
company contracting to furnish
these lights which meant that
the city could not accept light
from competing company at a
lower rate if such competition
should ever come within that
period nor could it install plant
of its own l. future officers and
the people desired to do that. OF
course the latter is not at all
probable and there is no known
disposition to advocate such "a
thing but the board did not teel
to tie up the rights of future
boards in this way and the clause
was stricken from the contract
before it was signed.
The lights to be installed will
be located as follows, providing
light for all public places
One light at each street cross
ing on main street from Church
Ave. to Collage Ave, and one at
Center and Elm, one at Blaine
and Elm, and one at Blaine and
Poplar.
After settling the question as
to lights the matter of electing a
marshall was taken up, oweing
to the resignation OF Marshall
Bailey. The names of Jos. A
Martindale, H. ]. Wells and w.
E. Davidson Were before the
board for consideration. The
voting resulted in two for Mart

California
Commissioner
Visits Oakley

John A. Fox the Commissioner
at large for the Panama. Calitor-
MIA Exposition to be held in San
Diego in 1915, is a member OF
the Commercial Club party OF
Salt Lake, which is touring the
State this week. Mr.. Fox was
III Salt Lake in the interest of the
Exposition when the party start
ed and was invited to accompany
the party on their special tour
through Idaho.
Seen by representative of our
paper Mr.. Fox gave out the fol
lowing interview about the ex.
position at San Diego and spoke
enthusiastically concerning the
opportunity that will be afforded
this state for exploitation. He
said " We are building the most
unique and original exposition
that has ever been thought Of,
and we are going to make it so
different from anything that has
heretofore been seen in the expos
itlon line that every body will
want to visit 1t. We plan to
open our gates on the first dav
OF January, 1915, and keep them
open during the entire year, and
our climate makes San Diego the
only place where such a thing
could be done"
"We are spending $5,OOO.OOO.
90 of our own money which is
nearly three times as much as
was spent by Seattle and more
than twice as much as was spent
bv Omaha when those two cities
held their expositions. So you
can see that we are planning for
a great International exposition.
1t is safe to assume that all of
the visitors who come to the
Pachc coast in 1915 will take IN
both expositions, for the city of
San Diego will, within the next
few months, be connected by a
link of railroad that will enable
all tourists to pass through San

Ho-Do-You-Do Train Given
Good Reception.
LARGE CROWD GATHERS.

The How-do-you-do train, or
better known as the Salt Lake
Commercial Club and Business
mems train pulled into Oakley
about twenty minutes after sche-
duled time and was met by several
hundred people at the Oregon
Short Line depot, on Wednesday
shortly after noon.
1t was reported in the morning
that the train was one hour late
so the meeting arranged to he
held on the WorthingtOn lawn
was held at the depot because OF
lack of time to come up town.
Mr.. John Held's Band of Salt
Lake City accompanied the train
and furnished music for the Jolly
boosters making the trip. They
also played several lively select
at the meeting which frightened
the faces OF all.
A number of" Peerless Parodies'
were sung, one Of which is re-
printed and is as follows;
Oh. you beautiful town,

This will be hailed with delight
by the people residing in that

Thrown from
Horse.

Sunday evening the little seven
year son of John McMurray was
thrown from horse near his
fathers home and seriously hurt.
In alighting he fell on his head
and was unconscious for some
time. 1t was thought his brain
was affected and that the acci
dent might go very hard with
him. He was feeling better at
last report and it looks as if he
would get along alright.

spoke on the resources OF our
town and country. Jos. E Caine
secretary of the Salt Lake Com
mercial Club, then responded in
behalf of the visitors, expressing
pleasure in making the trip and
stated briefly the object of the
trip was to get acquainted SO all
might work together for the up
building of this intermountai,
country. He was enthusiastic
about the prospects of Salt Lake
becoming a great city and felt
certain the great Rockey Noun
tain territory would yet be a
thlckly populated empire with a
city some here in it whose inha-
bitants would number a million
people. He limited pretty strong
ly that it would be Oakley.
He was followed by Bishop
George Romney of Salt Lake who
represented several manufacture
ing and jobbing houses. He men
toned the extent of territory
covered by the Z.C. Al, Beneh-
cial Insurance Co. and several
Others, who, he said, were work.

Oatmeal as an Article of
Human Food.

The highly nutritious proper
ties OF oats are generally recog-
nlzed by feeders of all kinds of
young stock and work animals.
There is no question but that
this cereal should be more exten-
sively used than at present by the
average family as an article OF
human food; particularly is this
so If IN the family there are grow
ing children, and adults whose
employment demands muscular
developement. In protein. or.
muscular forming material, whole
oats are fully as rich as wheat:
III fat and ash, energy and bone
forming material respectively.
they are richer. In the preparat-
ion OF oats for human consume
ton, the hulls as a rule are re-
moved; the Oatmeals of the mar.
ket are therefore decidedly richer
than the whole oats in protein
and fat but slightly poorer in
mineral matter. BY chemical
ANALYSIS it has been found that
rolled oats, when steam cooked
contain 1912 digestlble protein1

Rolledly wheat similar treated
contains S.5 per cent digestible
protein, 1.6 per cent diges.ible fat.
IL per cent mineral matter. and
has a fuel value of 1911 calories
per pound.
1t is to be feared that frequently
oatmeal is not as thoroughly
cooked as it should be previato
serving; digesting experiments
have demonstrated that for ease
of digestion a period of tour
hours cooking has decided ad-
vantages over half hour period.
When wellcooked,oatmeal should
be placed IN the front rank of
breakfast foods.

And I'll know you and you'll know me.

CHIEF FORESTER
ON FOREST FIRES
BY Comparison, He Presents Interest
ing View Of Great Menace and
Its Prevention

One Of the biggest and most i'm
portant questions which occupied the
time of Chief Forester Henry s.
Graves and the six district foresters
at their annual meeting held at the
Hotel Utah last week was the protec-
ton from fire of 19O.000,OO0 acres of
national forest land.
Mr.. Graves, in discussing the fire
situation said: while we have had
many fires during the past summer,
weather conditions have generally
been in our favor, and with our fire
protective organization steadily in
creasing in efficiency, We have gone
through the season with comparative
ly small loss. However, a repetition
of the weather conditions of 1910
may be upon us any time, and we
are going steadily forward and
strengthening our protective organ
ization as rapidly as possible.
THAT the fire danger is real and
the task is stupendous one. Is be-
coming more and more apparent to
the general public. However, in or
der that you may more clearly COM
prehend It's magnitude remove in
your imagination your city to the
most rugged and inaccessible parts
Of the Wasatch range of mountains.
Imagine your beautiful buildings, in
stead of being of modern fire proof
construction, to be constructed Of
highly infiammable material, and in
stead of stretching away in long reg
ular rows imagine them jumbled to-
gether in a confused mass until your
broad streets are completely choked
and impossible. Eliminate all your
water hydrants and your 10000 citi-
zens, each one of whom through the
agency of the ever ready telephone
is a potential fire guard, ready to
turn in the alarm at the first sign
Of fire. Imagine your city under
these conditions, always occupying
the most rugged and Inaccessible
! mountain ranges, extending north 10
Canada and south to Mexico. Imagine
another such city stretching along
the Pacific coast and still another
smaller, however, in the Great Lakes
