Moller Gets Appointment.- Ever
since Andrew Jackson, postmaster
ships have been considered part of
political patronage to be handed out
ministration at Washington is follow
ing this long established custom, and
during the past week the Bruce Of
flee has come up for consideration.
The result is the sending of the
name Of John H. Moller by the pres
ident to the senate as d postmaster
for this place. There can be little
doubt but that the presidents nom
-ination will be ratified by the SEN
ate and Mr.. Moller will succeed Geo.
M. Carnachan as postmaster in the
near future.
Mr.. Moller is one of the faith
full, having been doing his part in
building the democratic ark since
time runneth not to the contrary.
He has been chairman of the local
democratic and a member of the
county committee for many years.
He is also a good live citizen and
will doubtless make a good postmas-
ter He announces that there will
be no change in the location of the
post office for the present.
DR.. Carnachan has been postmas-
ter nearly as long as Mr. Moller has
been a democrat He has always
given good service and will be
missed by the patrons of the office.

Mail Service
Beginning June 18th Three Mails
Weekly Will Go up Little Willow
Valley to French PostoffIce.

The ranchers living on Little vii
low who get their mail at French
will be gratified to learn that under
an order from the department the

ruling the mail to French postoffice

Star route and in addition to hand
ling mail and parcels post also band
les a great deal of light freight mat
ter.

Death of Mrs. C. H, 3. Hutchinson.

Many Payette people were saddenst
on Friday to learn that Grandma
: Hutchinson had passed away at the
home of her son. w. A. Hutchinson
in this city. While she had been
quite poorly for some time and her
extreme age of over eighty two years,
made her recovery very doubtful.
the actual news of her passing came
as a distinct shock to her large cir
Gle of close friends.
Saphornia Davis was born February
2, 1881, in Utica, McComb County,
Michigan. In 1850 she was united in
marriage to. H. C. B. Hutchinson and
this union was blessed by three
sons, Louis Victor, deceased and H.
C. and w. A both we'll known resi-
dents of this city.
With her husband and family ste
came west to Portland in 1890 and
to Payette in 1899 where she has
resided ever since Since 1904 when
TIE uuSOdIQ ldluSt Wdo SoAASds
Grandma, as she was famil. arly called
by her many acquaintances. has made
her home with her son w. A When
quite young she united with the Con-
gregational church of which she re-
manned a member until she left to
join the church eternal. 1t is un-
necessary to comment on Grandma's
life. 1t was quiet, consistent Chris
tian life, filled with charity and
love for all. She leaves a brother,
two sons, four grand children and
three great grand children to mourn
her loss.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon,
Rev. Howarth officiating, interment
being made in Riverside cemetery.
