We do not need to mention the
wGscr cpouts and hard rains OF last
week, as news, for this part of south
ern Idaho seemed to have more then
its share OF rain and cloud bursts.
Last Wednesday afternoon a regular
spouter struck about che center of
this valley and for an hour the down
pour was terrific, then on Thursday
| Big Willow had a cloud burst and
much damage was done, then Friday
. h2rd, rain was general all day long.
TA.s is surely an of year and 1913
viii long be remembered 1t is cert
ainly leaving it's impression behind.
70 vii be very glad when the cal
amer scc this year runs out.
Miss Martha Gordon and Miss Elsie
Keefer was calling at the Patton
ranch last week.
Mrs. L. H. Pathon and Master
Dewey were visiting at the L. NJ.
Capron home at Fruitland Sunday.
Miss Holcomb and Miss Clsavings
of the lower valley were enjoying a
horse back ride up the valley Sun
day evening.
John Redmond and Miss Golden
were calling on friends in the valley
Sunday evening.
C. w. Lawrence and Mr.. Keller and
boys were up the valley in the car,
Thursday looking up some land values
Last Thursday Chas Nielsen en- the
heights entertained at dinner Mrs. w.
R. Shrimp Mrs. E. NJ. Perkins and
little daughter in honor of his sister
Miss Clara Nelson. Miss Nelson
will leave for Portland and coast
points this week, but we hope she
may return to reside permantly in the
near future.
Mrs. S. Gissel who has been in Pa
yotte for medical treatment the past
two weeks is reported as much i'm
proved and will be able to return
home in the near future.
Andrew Solosabal was a passenger
down on the stage to Payette last
week.
S. Gissel lost very valuable mare
last week. The animal was taken j
sick more than month ago, DR.. Ray
Hurd was called up and upon
making a careful examination of the |
case pronounced it as uncurable, |
but not contagious. This seemed to
be of a peculiar nature and it's cause
is not known only that it is suppos-
ed to come from something the ami |
anal gets on the range it has been
named as Swamp Fever although not
exactly aplyable in this case.
Haying has come again and we sim ;
cerely hope the farmers may get it
safely in the stack without any loss
this time, for to lose couple of hun
dred tons of hay means something to
a Little Willow rancher.
We understand the threshing ma
chine of Thomas Windle will start
OF August 5th. The grain crop is
short in the valley this year. Had
the rains been a month earlier the
new machine of Mr. Windles would
have had some good work in the val
ley. AS it is, he will be able to
thresh all out in short order
Coyotes are doin damage at the
Shrimp ranch in the form of taking
young pigs. Recently one came in
to the yard in the night and took a
pig a month old. 1t could be heard
as the coyote carried it up the hill
should be done to rid the
country of these pests. We stand the
taking of chickens and turkeys quite
but when it comes to the
,aking of large pigs it is going some.
