THE GARDEN FETE.

The people who braved the ele-

ing the band" to Gonda. Mrs. Chas.
Browns charming residence, on last
Thursday evening were well repaid
for the boldness. 1t would be hard
to find more ideal place for the
purpose than this beautiful spot with
its shady trees and garden bright
with flowers which are an eloquent
testimony to the care lavished on
them. The occasion was the sale
of work organized by the Ladies'
Sewing Circle in aid of st. James
Episcopal church and it must have
been-a revelation to all to see what
had been accomplished by their ef-
forts. There were other features in
the shape of fish ponds, candy and
ice cream stalls, and Aunt Sally"
while the refreshment depot did
big business all the time. The chief
attraction of the evening was the
Payette band, which under the lead

came and gave selection of music
in their well known style. In spite

was very good and the results very

To the Fruit
GroWers

1t is not our policy to pay any at
tention to the stories started by our
opposition, but during the PAST week
some Of them have used such con-
temptible methods to try and gain
trade that we have thought best to
ask for the affidavits appearing be-
low. 1t seems to us that, coming
from men of such we'll known stand
ing in the community, it ought to
effectively answer the lies which
have been circulated, but we wish to
warn few busy7bodies, whom we
think are known to us, that if they
connaue to circulate such infamous
reports without foundation we will
make them prove it in court of
justice or stand the consequences.

Heavy Rains First of Week Good for
Grain-Much Hay Caught Down
and Badly Damaged.

Coming at time when the dry
farming grain was badly in need oi
moisture to properly fill out the
heavy rains the first of the week
were of inestimable benefit and
many of the dry farmers who were
fearful their grain would not head
are now feeling assured of a fair
crop.
Where benefit was derived in one
quarter considerable damage is flet
in another as great deal of first
cutting haytwas down, in fact many
acres had been cut in this vicinity
on Saturday and will be badly dam
aged by the rain.

business with Denney and Company
of Payette, Idaho, and Chicago, H.,
for four years last past; that for the
year 1912, said Denney and Company
shipped his entire crop of apples,
consisting of between four and five

pies belonging to said William REIN
ers for the year 1912, upon which
there was cold storage charge; that
after said Reimers investigated as
to whether or not said apples were

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-Strong
evidence that President Wilson is
planning immediate and forceful &C
tion against General Huerta, the Mexi-
can dictator, was given today when he
took up the question of recognizing the
Mexican constitutionalists. He had
long conference at the White House
with acting secretary of state Moore
regarding the situation. 1t is under
stood that the recognition of the bel
ligerency of General Carranza was
tentatively approved
1t is said that one of the vital feat

the Constitutionalists cause by the
United States government in the same
vigorous fashion that former Secretary
of State Knox encouraged the anti

CLEAN FIGHT WAGED

Make Replies to S. E. Mich
olson on Law Enforcement.

That the Progressive ticket will be
elected by decisive plurality and that
VIII ]. Robbins. the Progressive may
orally candidate. will carry every ward
in the city was the prediction made
today by city chairman Howard
Brooks
His statement concerning the out
come OF the city election next Tues
day follows:
The campaign in behalf of the Pro
gressive candidate for mayor VIII ].
Robbins. and all others on the Pro
gressive ticket. has been conducted
along clean lines.
No Abuse Resorted To.
No old time methods of personal
abuse have been resorted 10, and I
feel sure that there can be no word
of criticism offered by those who
stand for honest politics and fair cleo
tions. We intend to have a perfect or
ganization for election day, with the
hope of getting out every Robbins
vote. Nothing. however. will be coun-
tenanced that is not entirely legal. and
we expect to see that the other par
ties do the same.
AS to the result of this campaign
am absolutely confident that the
Progressive ticket will be elected, and
that VIII j. Robbins, for mayor. will
not only lead by a most decisive plu-
rality, but that he will carry every
ward in he city. Not only will Rob-
bins poll practically the full strength
of his own party. but he will get the
votes of many Republicans and Demo
Gratis who are anxious TO see a change
in the administration of the affairs of
Richmond and who are determined TO
do their part to bring such a change
about
Bases Prediction on Facts
Il might say that my prediction is
not based on anything but what l re-
gard as facts. In the first place the
Progressives have been the only party
to take a poll. both Republicans and
Democrats for some reason failing TO
attend to this important feature of the
campaign work. Our poll carefully Ia.
ken, in most instances. and il shows
a majority of Robbins voters in every
ward and in almost every precinct.
Allowing for errors of any sort that
may have slipped in. and allowing lib
orally, too. the deductions made still
indicate that beyond doubt Robbins
will have at least eight hundred more
votes than his nearest opponent.
''As to second place, from what
can learn, Zimmerman and Farwig are
running very close race"
That he is in favor of equal, Just
and impartial law enforcement is de-
clared by DIR. w. w. Zimmerman, Re
publican mayoralty candidate. in his
reply to a letter from s. E Nicholson
