Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1913-04-17
John Prichard of Caldwell is new


settler, being located five miles west OF
Wendell and he says he is here to stay,
and being well acquainted with irriga-
ton farming and a good stock man we
predict for him a splendid place among
us.
Mrs Mary w. Keith of Chicago re
turned this week to Wendell to spend
several months. Mrs. Keith finds it very
pleasant to spend her summers in her
splendid home adjacent to Wendell. This
is one of the most pleasant and best inn
proved properties in Southern Idaho.
Wendell people are always pleased to
have Mrs. Keith come as all are her
friends. She is large property holder
in Wendell.
Wendell is now four years old There
has been in these four years fifty we'd
dings in the city. Can any other city of
400 people claim as many. We suggest
| that this is splendid locality for any
young man or young lady to go to ii
they are inclined favorably along these
lines. To our knowledge there has not
been divorce emulated from this local
ity. These two facts are large part OF
a happy community.
We are very sorry to learn that we are
to lose from our midst j. F. Ragsdale
and family. They plan on going to Mis-
souri, for a couple of years. We feel
that we are only losing them temporar
lily as they are bright people and will
not remain away very long; anyway We
hope that the Idaho germs will remain
in their system to such an extent that
the fever will not cure and that they
| will again be part of this community.
G. A. Pratt of Orchard Valley was in
Wendell this week. Mr. Pratt is suffer-
ing very badly from carbuncles on his
neck, being unable to labor, and for a
man OF Mr.. Pratt's activities it is GER
tainly punishment to him not to be able
to go ahead with his work and especially
at this time as he has in charge over a
which is under his personal charge and
shows the result of careful attention.
S. Tauber this week disposed to Elk
Gov Gooding his entire herd of thorough
bred hogs including his splendid boar
Mr.. Gooding was we'll pleased with his
purchase and says that it is one oil the
best deals that he has made in Idaho
Mr.. Tauber will proceed at once to get
together another prize winning herd OF
hogs. 1t pays well to get the best and
Mr.. Tauber succeeds because he pro-
vides those that are always marketable.
l.. G. Humphrey of Appleton was a
pleasant caller in our midst this week.
Mr.. Humphrey is looking after the de-
velopment of considerable land in this
locality for eastern owners and We be
lieve in his ideas very much. When the
eastern owners are unable to be upon
the ground and see after their develop
ment work. it is necessary that some one
here that is able to do so have these
matters in charge. Mr.. Humphrey rep
resents part of the work that the farm
ers' association is doing, he h.ving
charge of the department OF development
work for members OF the association that
are unable to attend to these matters
personally.
w. s. Burdick from West Point WAS a
visitor in Wendell Friday. They are so
busy developing their holdings that they
have no time to spend in the cities, and
while We do like to have these settlers
drop in often we realize that the settler
that spends his time in town, visiting
as it may be, that they are not the ones
that are accomplishing the results that
are showing to the good We know OF
would be farmers that are seen on our
streets every day that have accomplished
so little upon their farms that it can
hardly be said that they have commenced
to realize anything in the four years
time. Usually these are the ones that
are replaced by real farmers that reap
the results of fortune that could have
been done by the first with like effort.
The new city Council of Wendell met
in their first regular meeting last Friday
and proceeded to arrange the business
for the year by electing the city officers
E. J. Pare being elected city clerk, c. D.
McQuivey city treasurer, and Fred Best
| city irrigator. In this last choice many
of the taxpayers are wondering why
they should select Mr.. Best for this posi-
ton when Others just as competent Of
| fered to do the work at much less figure,
as long as the new council was elected
on platform of economy, as they said.
Also we understood that they we're also
to have the city run without city attor-
ney, yet did not see fit to let the present
attorney ont. Perhaps they have figured
that it is more economical to employ an
attorney at small salary than to employ
one on fee basis. In this we are in
