the Chronicle editor last Saturday asking that

payment of $500 by Whitaker for alleged assault
against Jones client and upon his refusal to pay the
money, Whitaker arrested on criminal charge
The Chronicle editor published the facts as given us
by Mr. Whitaker which he supported by affidavit and
the same published for good motives and us6abe
ends, believing the to be true and that the public
should know to what their were being put
by attorneys and officials.
The serving of these notices to reract is prelimn-
ary step in bringing suit for damages and the Chron
cle at this time wishes to state that is belief that
the action is malicious and brought with malice and
hatred and in good faith and the following taken
from the Beach Advance, owned by these attorneys,
carries out this belief We first publish below the
statement made to the post office department.,
showing that Keohane Gallagher and Jones are

they raise apples. The famous apple
orchards of the state are near Fruit

an example of intensified farming.
The farms in this section are 10 and
2O-acre tracts in orchard, with fine,
modern homes, whose owners ride
in automobiles. 1t is a splendid, con-
crete example of what can be done in
Idaho under irrigation on small acre

fine church buildings. Its people are
thrifty, well-to-do and good citizens.
If the whole state of Idaho we're de-

The Payette valley rot only has th,
Payette river, but it has as we'll tn,
Payette Valley railroad running iti
full length. This road has recently
recorded the deeds to its right OF
way and it is thought that arrange.
ments have been made by the Oregon
Short Lime to take it over.
There has been a tendency the
past year for the people of the Pay
cite valley to diversity more widely
in their pursuits. More corn was
raised this year than ever be ore,
yielding from 60 to 80 bushels per
acre. Our farmers are going in fer
dairy cows, hogs and poultry, in con-
junction with their orcharding. With
these industries developed alorg with
the vast acreage of new orcharcs

years, the wealth and stability of tie

yond the reach of parties and pC litics.
Payette has the potato wizard" in
the person of w. B. Gilmore, who
won the American record fer yield
on potatoes for 1913. Mr.. Gilmore
raised 1853 bushels and 391a pounds CT
potatoes on one acre of ground. This
record was formerly he'd by Coo (
RADIO farmer who raised 7241a bushes
on one acre. The Oregon Short Line
has recently issued a circular adver-
Using Idaho lands and featuring Mr..
Gilmore's potato yield.
The outlook for the Payette valley
for 1914 is exceptionally bright. From
the standpoint of productivity ard
marketing the year 1913 has been
a prosperous one. The pecp'e of the /
valley are optimistic and are all look
ing forward for bigger and better I
6things the coming year. The extern
sion of the Idaho Northern railway
to the Payette lakes next year will {
give an inlet to much trade and bust
