SUES COMPANY
FOR DAMAGES
Snow-Moody Development Company
Made Defendant in $4,000 Suit
by Ernest Snowberoer Of This City.

The SnowMoody Development Com
pany, a corporation organized under
the laws of the state of Utah and
doing business in Malheur county,
Oregon, was made the defendant the
first of this week in case brought
by Ernest Snowberger through and
by his guardian and mother, Rose
Snowberger on account of personal
injuries sustained by young Snow
berger while visiting the electric
pumping plant of the defendant COM
pany on Dead OK Flat on April 26,
1912.
Payette people will remember the
day when the class from the Pay
cite High School visited the big
power house of this company located
across the Snake river and on which
occasion young Snowberger as a
member of the class went with them
and suffered injuries which caused
the amputation of one arm and one
lower limb. At the time of the ac-
cident Payette people in general were
well aware of the details and remem-
Der that it seemed almost a miracle
that the young man recovered.
In the complaint the Snow-Moody
Development Company are charged
with negligence in allowing the Wis
iting class to enter the power house
without giving them ample warning
Of the danger of approaching any of
the electrical apparatus, with not
having danger signs prominently post
ed, with not having the wires that
carried the heavy voltage of electric
ity to the switches insulated and
with not having the heavy current
shut off while the class was visiting
the power house and otherwise pro-
viding for their safety.
Snowberger's doctor bills and hos
pital expense amounting to some
$1,571 have been voluntarily paid by
the Snow-Moody Company.

Here's Something Coming Our Way.

In engaging the justly famous Schu
bert Company of Chicago, to give
one of their delightful entertainments
here the Portia Club can congratulate
themselves upon securing an addition
al and entirely unexpected feature
of the greatest excellence. For it so
happens that Miss Frances Rhine
hart, the eminent harp soloist, is
making a short concert tour of the
United States in company with the
Schuberts and will positively be
heard here with them on Feb. at
the Elite. Keep this in mind for,
although she is not advertised on
the Schuberts programs or printing,
she will be here with them and add
two great solos to their program. 1t
is our good luck that she is visiting
her musical friends at the time they
happen to be engaged to appear in
Payette.

HAMeLY's OBSERVATIONS

Mr.. d. D. Hambly upon his return
rom the East reports remarkable
prosperity In all branches of industry
east Of Chicago where he spent sew
eral weeks. He says that there
is no Democrat party. no Republican
party, no president, no tariff, no
nothing but business except with the
politicians and the few who have
personal interests, to, protect. Mr..
Hamb1y says that Mr.. Eastman OF
New Plymouth Us doing more to ad-
vertise the Payette Valley apples in
Cleveland than the efforts OF all
other concerns combined. He says
that he could find apples from the
Spokane, Wenatchee and North Yaki-
ma valleys In almost every town
he visited ON the American side but
the only place aside. from Mr.. East
mans office whore he saw Payette
apple was In thewholesale houses in
Chicago II we expect, he says, to
get our apples IN the homes of the
we must put the apples
where they can be seen and bought.
As far as he could see, after, visit
Ing more than dozen American cit
les, there Is a very feeble effort be-
ing made to place the Idaho apple
IN the hands Of the consumer.

GREATEST OUTPUT;
IN HISTORY
Idaho Mines Show Great Gain in Pro-
ductIon for the Year 1912.

The gross metal content of the ore
mined in Idaho during the year 1911
was about $23, 1000, 900, the greatest
in the history of The state, it is
stated by Robert N. Bell, state mine
inspector. Zinc has shown mark
Ell increase in output and unless
the threatened tariff legislation plays
havoc it'll the metal markets, Ida
no win continue to be very large
producer of this class of mineral
said Inspector Bell.
THE ho-Continental mine in
Bonner county has developed big
reserve of rich concentrating mineral
and Is being equipped with a S0G-ton
mill. and the Lawrence mine at
Ciarks Fork, in the same county, is
being equipped with a 50-ton mill
and has a splendid reserve of ore and
a prospect OF extensive resources as
it has an extensive plan of develop
nIent in progress.
At the Gilmore district in Lemhi
county, the Pittsburg-Idaho and the
Latest Out mines have shipped more
than 10000 tons and continue to
maintain their usual reserves which
shows evidence o. permanence OF
depth.
The increased yield In zinc has
come principally from two mines of
the Occur dA'lenes. Idle for years
and regarded as worthless as
source Of profit, the Success. under
the handling of H. F. Samuels. has
been quite profitable during the last
year. The Morning mine is the Sc
cond largest producer of zinc in
the Occur dAlenes. Complicated and
refractory, the ore OF this great
nine sustains serious loss in treat
nfent.
The copper output OF Idaho in
creased 100 per cent over 1911 and
viii aggregate over 1000, 900 pounds.
Ii was derived largely from the
S aowstorm and the White Knob
mines, the latter in Custer county"

Weldon Grossnith in From Studio

say about the practice Of initiating the
methods and mannerisms OF great ac-
tors. a practice that was once more
frequent than IL Is now. On his re-
turn to London he played a part that
had been played many years before by
Charles Mathews and who had thus
established sort OF orthodoxy In Its
presentation. Mr.. GrOssmith relates:
II was asked by the producer to do
the same business that Charles Ma
thews did. and when making my exit
ut the end of the first act the stage man
ager said. Now, Mr.. Grossnith. throw
the tails of your frock coat over the

"'Because Mathews did IT, he re-
piled.

the good fortune to see the great

initiate his methods. and ! must do
things my own way

MARRY TO BECOME MEN.
In Korea Males Are Locked Upon ss
Children Until They We'd.

The Koreans marry very young. gen

fifteen. For u woman to reach twenty
without marrying is considered u ter
ribe thing. A peculiarity of these
weddings Is that they would appear TO
be matter of interest to every one
exceut the parties mostly concerned.
who often see one another for the iirSt
time on the wedding morning. This Is
because in u Korean household the
boys are kept apart from the girls. the
father and the sons occupying the
front of the house and the mother and
daughters living in the rear OF the es.
tablishment. Moreover. in their social
life the boys are not allowed {" mix
with the gentler sex.
The parents and friends arrange the
match in accordance with their own
interests. and If both parties agree aud
the bargain Is concluded the formali-
ties are of the simplest. There Is no
religious ceremony and no legal con
tract.

simple. The whole function consists or
