J. D. James is here for the first time
since 1876; at that time Mr.. James was
here selling horses from Wisconsin, and
sold black mare here. to I man and
that mare got away from the man and
came back to- Wisconsin. 1t always
has been a mystery to everyone how
that mare got across the Mississippi
River. but nevertheless she did. Now
the man from Cresco wrote Mr.. James
at Mineral Point, Wis.,, enquiring if
the mare had come back to Mineral
Point, and Mr.. James bought the
mare back from the Cresco man as it
would cost $25 to ship her back to
Cresco. Mr.. James sees many changes
in Cresco since 1876. Mr.. James is

District Court Completes Session.

Soon after the jury returned yer.
dict in what is commonly termed the
automobile case" on Saturday last
court adjourned for the term. BY the
verdict of the jury, MIR. Nichols loses
all compensation for the loss of the
machine, as the default judgment
for $500 against Miholke,> the man
who took the car from the garage, is
worthless. The case against F. c.
Miller, the owner of the garage, was
taken from the jury on Friday on the
grounds that he had used all due dill
gence in caring for the car. This left
Olson and Hattlestad as the only
parties making defense and the YER.
dict of the jury was in their favor.

Letter From Mrs. Weaver.

The following extracts from letter
to Mrs. Rhoades from Mrs. Mabel
Payne Weaver who with the family
has recently moved from Cotton, Cal
ifornia, to Casa Grande Valley, Ari-
zona, will be interesting to the many
friends of Mrs. Weaver in Mountain
Home:
Casa Grande Valley is a beautiful
spot comprising one million acres sur
rounded on every side by mountains.
Not having settled the water question
yet, the inhabitants depend entirely
On deep wells, gasoline engines and
storage tanks, all of which are sup
piled by the Casa Grande Supply
Company with which Mr.. Weaver is
connected
There are great business possibili-
ties and the promise of a bright
future as soon as the water question
is settled.
We have a live Board of Trade and
a Current Event Club, the latter
working hard for a library.
Though employing but three teach
ers our school building would be a
credit to a city of 10000.
We are Sc miles from Tucson, 70
from Phoenix; rs from Florence
where the state pen is located; Is
from one of the largest reservations
in The world, the Saxaton and in the
midst OF several old historic Missions,
all of which | am anxious to visit.
We like it very much and Mr..
Weaver s health is much better than
in California.

NOTICE TO SEEDMEN AND FARM.
ERS

Recent statements in various news
papers published in Idaho would indi-
cate that the inspection of seed grain
and enforcement of the Pure Seed
Law had been transferred to the
Stale Horticultural Inspector.
For the information of the numer-
Gus seedsmen and farmers of the
State who have been inquiring re-
garding the matter | wish to explain
that such is not the case, and that
hereafter, all such inspection and
seed analyses will be made under
the direction of the University Agri-
cultural Extension Department, Bose
as they have been in the past. In
order to economise, however and in
crease the efficiency of our funds, ar
rangements have been made whereby
the men who are employed as deputy
horticultural inspectors will become
deputy seed inspectors also, with du-
ties and remunerat. ons entirely Sep
arate from those given them through
the office of horticultural Inspection.
Where a horticultural inspector does
not wish to act also as seed insect
or someone else will be secured to do
the work in his district.
Seedmen are required to secure
copies of the Seed Law, and learn
what is required of them.
The seeding season is approaching
and many farmers have not had their
seed grain tested either for purity or
termination. This serveice is offered
free of charge to any who will send
of two to four ounces.
Address all samples and commum-
cations to
State Seed Commissioner
Boise, Idaho.
