Some Outside Visitors.

w. P. Davidson Of the Oregon
& Western Colonization Co., p.
S. Bickel of Twin Falls, and Ad-
Olson Bennett arrived here last
Saturnay in company with j. r.
Stinson of Prineville. They only
remained a short time going on
out by way of Malheur canyon,
Mr.. Bickel proceeding to Twin
Falls, Mr.. Davidson to Portland.
Mr.. Bennett returned this way
with VIM. Hanley and back to
Portland by way Of Prineyille.
Mr.. Bickel was chief engineer
in charge of the irrigation pro-
jects at Twin Falls where the
writer had the pleasure of meet
ing him three year ago. He is a
competent and reliable man. We
understand he was here as the
representative Of the same capit-

Silvies River Farmers Union.

An organization of farmers in
this vicinity has been formed
and officered by substantial farm
ers that will be of a great deal
of benefit not only to the organ
ization but to the community as
well. The Silvies River Farmers
Union is the name adopted and
from the manner they are start
ing off they will be factors in
many respec S.
Frank Jackson, secretary-trea-
sure of the organization informs
The Times-Herald that it has
already proven a mutual benefit
to the members and it has hardly
been organized. For instance,
it was found by a canvass of only
a portion of the membership that
they would need at least 1000 lbs
of binding twine and by placing
an order for such an amount il
was secured at a much less price
than by individuals buying Sc
parately. Another saving will be
in the purchase of sacks. Mr..
Jackson states that he has made
a canvass and finds that more
than 5000 sacks will be required to
take care of the coming grain
crops and by placing such an or
der he finds they can save al
most half what they would cost
individuals.
Mr.. Jackson explains that the
organization is not framed to
fight in any respect, but merely
a mutual benefit and protection
of its members. That no one is
bound to abide by the actions
of the organization so far as
their individual affairs or inclin-
ations are concerned and that it
is the purpose to work in har-
mony with the business men and
commercial interests of this sec
ton to the mutual advancement
Of all.
An inspection Of the member
ship roster and the officers con-
convinces one of the permanency
of the organization and that it is
one that will be a credit to the
community.

An Estimable Woman Dead

Mrs. Walter +. Huston died at
her home in this city yesterday
afternoon Aug. l6. after an ill
ness of almost two weeks. She
first had an attack of tolsillitius
and later a severe sore throat in
vaded the larnyX which caused her
death. 1t was a shock to her
immediate neighbors and friends
who were aware of her illness
but hardly expected it to termi-
nate fatally.
Mrs. Huston was estimable
women highly respected in this
city where she has resided since
her marriage to Mr.. Huston
twelve years ago. She was one
of the model home women who
gave her family first considere-
alton ali the time and did not at
tend many society functions. but
nevertheless had made many
warm friends.
Deceased was born in the state
of Washington but had resided
in this state for many years, her
parents living in Marion county.
She was 43 years old. A sister
Mrs. White, is expected here this
evening and we understand no
arrangements for the funeral
will be made until her arrival.
The Times-Herald was unable to
get much information respecting
Mrs. Huston as Mr.. Huston and
little son went out of the city
this morning and had not return
ed when this was written. She
is survived by her husband and
one son here and other relatives
who live in Marion county.
They have the deep sympathy of
the people of this vicinity.
