The Setting Out Of Young Orchard
lin Two Years Dead OK Fat Goes
from Sage Brush Waste to Seven
Hundred and Ten Acres of Fine
Young Orchard.

When Payette people took such an
active interest In securing an appro
priation from the state for the build
ing of the Snake River bridge and
when the city of Payette voted bonds
to assist in the building OF that
bridge 1t was with the belief that
the country known as Dead OK Flat
L -rovided with transportation IA
cilities across the Snake river, would
rapidly improve. A general survey
OF that section just now convinces
one that they were not mistaken. The
Snow-Moody project has been COM
pleted for two years. Immediately
after its completion when the land
holders felt that they would be
certain Of water for irrigation pur-
poses the planting of young orchar s
began and has continued until at
the present time there are seven
hundred and ten acres Of thrifty
young orchard now growing on Dead
Ok Flat. The following is as COM
plete list as we are able to fur
nish Of the individual acreage of
young orchard owned in that section.

In addition to the acreage OF young
orchard many tracts OF land that
two years ago were sage brush waste !
have been cleared and are now plant
ed to grain or alfalfa and many fine |
homes and ranches are to be found
in that section.
The farmers living on the Fiat
are progressive and from time to
time have devoted considerable work
on the roads and in this have been
assisted by the Payette CONNER
cial Club with the results that year

Of rural route No. 8 from the office
at Payette to serve these people with
daily mail service has been of great
help and that section of the country
certainly begins to look much differ

WELCOMED 4 KICKING. y;
Odd Incident That Proved the Popus
 iaritv of Dumas


 In My Autobiography" Mme. Ju- dith, the great French actress, writes of Alexander Dumas the elder:
 "This giant of Q mulatto, with his big, black, 'mocking eyes, his wide nos trils, thick lips. heavy chin, his crisply curling hair and his forehead with it's strange bumps, like that of some un- ruly child who is always fighting with his comrades, was truly a representa- tive parsonage, a type redecting all the passion of the romanticists. There would have been something wanting to his time if this grandson of negress had not been seen striding along the Parisian bouleyards, if his laugh had not been heard on the terraces of the cafes or if he had not appeared playing his part with naive self satisfaction in official ceremonies and at the Tuileries scenes at the theater with his arm around the waist of some actress, or eating and drinking enough for four in the merry suppers at which authors and artists used to meet
 His popularity was simply unequal ed. There was a story current in my time of singular wager made by Mery of Marseilles. Walking one day in some public garden with a friend, he suddenly said to him: DO you see that big, ridiculous looking fellow? I bet you 100 sous that if kick him, no matter where, instead of flying into rage he will make me polite bow
 ''The bet was taken, and Mery, creep ing stealthily up behind M. Prud- hompe, gave him tremendous kick in the small of his back The man turned red with indignation, but Mery cried: 'Oh, beg your pardon, sir; took you for Alexander Dumas, with whom I have an account to settle.' 2 His victim, only too proud to be taken for such great man, at once re- tented and, taking off his hat in the most amiable manner, he said. with bow, There is no harm done. mon- sieur' The hundred sous were won"

ANsoN SCORED LAST.
The old Chicago Captain Made Two
 Plays to DahIen's Ono.

Tim Hurst, the veteran umpire, told this one on Bill Dahlen when Bill was a youth toiling under Cap Anson in Chicago. Said he:
 "Anson called Dahlen good and hard in a game I was umpiring in Chicago. Dahlen took it without saying word, but few minutes later Bill remarked to me, Watch me bark that old fel- lows shins' Ans was not as agile then as he was in his younger days, and he stopped with much effort. All through that game Bill made great stops, only to throw the ball a few feet in front of the bag, and it was up to Anson to stop it with his shins.
 "However, that was not the end of it. A few days later the White Stockings had to make trip to St. Louis, and Anson told Dahlen he would not be taken on the trip. Bill had been told that several times and he thought Ans was fooling. The train left Chicago about midnight and Dahlen was with the rest of the team.
 "When the train was about twenty five miles out of Chicago the conductor told Anson there were sixteen men in the party and he had received only fifteen tickets. Anson said there were only fifteen men and named the berths they occupied.
 "'The man in berth No. IT says he is a member of the Chicago team said the conductor, who was referring to Dahlen. He's stringing you,' replied Anson. Poor Bill was asked to cough up and couldn't. The train was stop ped, and Dahlen was put off the train about thirty miles from Chicago How he got back to Chicago only Bill him. self knows, but he would not talk to anybody for week."
