Agen's Produce
Business Sold

Involving what is said to be the
largest consideration between whole
sale jobbing interests, the C. G. Brad
ner company, has taken over the but
ter, egg and cheese business of the
John B. Agan company, pioneer
produce concern. Final articles were
signed yesterday, although the negot-
iations have been going on for sew
eral weeks.
b Mr.. Bradner has been in the whole
sale produce business in Seattle for
seventeen years and is we'll known
among the Western avenue commits
sion men. With him in the new un-
dertaking are his two sons, c.. f. and
L. G. Bradner. Mr.. Bradner opened
a retail store at Columbia street and
Western avenue in September, 1856.
Mr.. Agen began his business car
eer at Usage, Iowa, starting a store
on a few dollars. This business ex-
banded from the outset and in 1889
it was necessary for Mr.. Agen to find
larger field for his operations. In
the same year he came to Seattle, ar
irving there when the big Seattle fire
was at it's worst. He soon concluded
that Washington was the ideal place
for the dairying business. A carload
of butter and eggs which Mr.. Agen
had shipped here when he came to
Seattle, was stored in small estab-
lishment at Seventh avenue and Stew
art street, owned by H. e. Jones, late
president of the Seattle Commercial
club.
From these small and cramped
quarters the present John B. Agen
company has grown. Only a few
years after his arrival in Seattle he
had branch stores in Dawson, Skag-
way, Valdez, Nome and other Alaska
points, and in the principal cities ii
this state. He located cold storage
plants in Usage, Ia, in Minnesota
and North Dakota, and CONDUCTED
trade with the Orient, South America
the Philippines and Hawaii.
Mr.. Agen may we'll claim to have
fathered the dairy business in the
Northwest. In the early EOS scores

Another Ticket

Rumors current for the past three
weeks that an independent political
movement, with the object of placing
a nonpartisan or socalled business
mems" legislative ticket in the Can
yon county field, were practically con-
firmed Friday, when some of the local
leaders admitted their intention of
nominating their candidates by petit
ton within the next few days. These
candidates, it is understood, will be
supported by strong organization
which has been quietly perfected and
covers nearly every Canyon precinct.
The candidates whose names will
probably appear on the new legisla-
tive ticket are G. w. Lamson of Nam
pa, candidate for state senator; t. N.
Kerr of Nampa, Herman F'ikkan of
Fruitland E. H. Adam of Caldwell,
Carl Hartman of New Plymouth and

for state representatives

band, an Emmett young man, is en-
ployed as night switchman for the

Masonic sign Saved FIFTY

Ostend, via London-The power OF
Ere Masonry is illustrated by story
told here by a citizen of Louvain,
who with the Masonic sign says he
saved so of his fellow citizens from
being shot by German troops. This
group of citizens, according to the
recital of the Belgian Mason, but been
lined up for execution. The German
firing party had their rifles at "pre-
sent arms" when the narrator gave
a Masonic sign. The German officer
commanding the firing squad happen
ed to belong to the craft. He recog-
nized a brother Mason and ordered
the Louvain Free Mason to leave the
ranks. This meant sparing his life.
The Louvain citizen, however, refused,
saying, "My fellow citizens are no
more guilty than l am. If you are
going to kill them l shall be killed
with them" The German officer
then ordered the release of the entire
party.

KITTENS SUCKLED BY

Take Up With Mother
Hog

Made orphans by the death of their
mother, three young kittens on the
ranch of Jess Demasters on Upper
Squaw creek have been adopted by a
sow and are being sucked along with
five young pigs.
The story is vouched for by J. L.
Steward and son Howard, who return
ed last week from trip to the De-
masters ranch. When bereaved, the
kittens took up with SOW that had
eight pigs to feed. The kittens found
their quarters a little crowded, and
when another SOW became the mother
of only five pigs, the kittens changed
their boarding place and are as much
at home and as fat and contented as
the hogs own progeny. There is no
iscord in the happy family and the
ittens demand and receive their pro-
ortion of the food drawn from the
naternal fount. The adopted mother

Charge of the Bull Brigade.

Paris, Sept. 22-The Petit Parisien
prints story of bull, which it says
killed 18 Germans. 1t appears that
when the peasants in the neighbor-
hood of Sezanne were warned of the
approach of the Germans they opened
the gates of the cattle pens and en-
deavored to drive the cattle to place
of safety. One enormous bull, it is
said, becoming enraged by the sound
of the cannon fire, broke away and
charged the Germans, who looked on
in surprise, believing it some trick of
the French. At the first dash the bull
gored six, throwing them nigh in the
air. Others shot and wounded the an
imal, which, however, gored II more
before succumbing.

DRAINAGE LAW UPHELD
BY COURT
Validity of Act Passed by Last
Legislature Is Sus-
tanned

The drainage district law passed by
the last legislature of this state is
constitutional. This is the decision of
the supreme court of this state in an
opinion handed down Saturday.
The opinion is written in the case of
Drainage District No. l of Canyon
county. The judgment of the trial
court is reversed and the cause re-
manded for further proceeding in ac-
cordance with the views expressed in
the opinion.
The litigation involved the validity
of what is known as house bill No. 80
of which Representative E. E. Elliott
of Bonner county is the author, and
its passage by the house of represen-
tatives of the last legislature The
measure was attacked on the grounds
that it was not passed by the legisla-
ture in accordance with the provisions
of section 15, article 8 of the consti-
tuticn in that it was not read on three
several days, the claim being made the
journal of the house does not show
this or that it was even read at all or
that the rule providing for the read
ing of a bill before passage three sew
eral times had been dispensed with.
After reviewing the record of the
journal on the passage of the act the
court says in its opinion:
Said entries clearly show that the
house of representatives intended to
and did mass said hill There was no
opposition to it; it was unanimously
adopted; the yeas on its final pas
sage were entered on the journal;
there were no nays. The bill was
duly enrolled and signed by the of
fcers of the two houses, approved by
the governor and filed in the Office of
the secretary of state.
"The unquestioned weight of
is to the effect that unless
the journal afirmatively shows that
some requirement of the consti-
tuition in the passage of the bill has
been omitted, the presumption is that
such requirement has been complied |
with, although the journal be silent
in regard thereto, except when the
commands that such act
be entered on the journal"
Judge Bryan, who last year re-
served his decision in the petition for
The creation of drainage district in
this valley on account of doubt as
to the legality of the law, will prob
ably decide the case soon.

Germany's enormous commerce and
industry is of course practically par
alyzed. Beyond taking care of her
own immediate internal necessities,
industrial Germany is unavoidably at
a standstill. Upon that country the
stress of war is falling with intense
severity; and, whether sympathizing
with the German cause or not, one
cannot but deeply regret the gigantic
disaster which has fallen upon that
progressive and enlightened nation.
Upon little Belgium and upon France
also two of the most advanced coun-
tries in the world, the blast of war
has come with crushing force. These
two nations will suffer relatively even
more than Germany, for their fairest
and most prosperous sections are be-
ing devastated by immense armies
and wholesale destruction. Upon Rus
sia, Austria, Japan and other nations,
tho blow will be much less severe be-

in front of the Presbyterian church
by Mrs. Meyer and it ran into the
sidewalk in front of the Meyer resi-
ence. One of the horses feet was
badly cut and the buggy shafts and
one wheel were broken. The rig be-

sNEEZERs IN CONVENTION
Red Noses, Red Eyes and "Achoos'
Meet in Annual Session

| The great national sneeze-fest, the
annual convention of the National
Hay Fever Association, held at Beth
lehem, N. H., recently, was interest
ing. The convention was called to
order by the "Main Sneezer," the
Rev. Guy Roberts of New York. The
principal feature of his address was
a bitter attack on the handkerchief
trust.
When the presidents address had
been delivered and the customary
greetings exchanged the convention
began its deliberations, as for many
years, with the singing of the associa-
tons anthem, beginning
"Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild
echoes flying"
Occupying a seat of honor near the
rostrum was the venerable Richard
Muckle of Philadelphia, a former
president of the association, who is
now in his ninetieth year. Mr..
Muckle has sneezed successfully, he
says, for seventy-six consecutive
years, and hopes to sneeze some more.
One of the features of the yearly
convention is the reading of Oliver
Wendell Holiness "cure" for hay fe-
yer: "Six feet of clean gravel, six
feet down" Following this, it is GUS
tomary for the president to read off
a hundred or more hay fever "cures."
AS the names are read there are
sneezes of approval or complimentary
"Achoos."

Registration Time Short.

There is only little over week
left in which voters who did not reg
lister for the primaries can register
for the fall election. The final date
when one may register is October 8.
While votes may be sworn in, the
process has been found to consume
a great amount of time, on account
of its being necessary to have free
holder identify the voter, and the
county clerk urges all who are not
now qualified to vote to register be-
fore October 3.

A Diplomat

Joe Priest, the Short Lines Of
fetal representative in Idaho, passed
through town yesterday on his way to
Horseshoe Bend. An Index reporter
suggested to Mr.. Priest that new
depot with a park around it would
be acceptable to Emmett people. To
which Joe replied by saying that as
soon as the officials could agree upon
which side of the water tank to make
the park work would commence.
