ELECTRICAL DEMONSTRATION.

The announcement that tho week
beginning November 29 and ending
December 4, will be electricity
week" with the local electrical mer-
chants, under the direction of the
Electric Investment Company, is Of
more than usual Importance. 1t is
going to be a week of instruction
and education that will give the
public a better idea of the various
uses to which this great labor-saying
and comfort-increasing element can
be adapted. The demonstrations will
be of a kind to bring out and simpli-
fly in convincing manner many
points in connection with the do
nestle uses of electricity that have
never before been made so clear to
the general public, because the
demonstrations will furnish practical
and simple lessons in the economy OF
domestic science and home-oomfort
and will cause new interest IN
the subject that should rebound to
the benefit of those who are earnest
ly seeking a solution of how to
economic in household expenses and
to reduce to the lowest minimum
the problem of household drudgery.
1t is going to be great advertise
ment for the men who have invested
their millions in the great industry,
we admit, but it is going to be more
than that, inasmuch as it will bring
the consumer into closer touch with
and afford him a better understand
ing of the possibilities offered by
the greatest utility of the age.

finishing for market.
Z. COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE
The community spirit should not be
overlooked, as 1t always enters In
to the success of any enterprise
These settlers are to be commended
for their persistence in trying &c
better their condition and to make
their farms more profitable. Many
of them already have good homes
and impro, ements, school facilities
are sufficient, roads are in excellent
condition and lhe pioneer stage is
already PAST Investors should GER
tainly take into consideration these
facts, as the proposed enlarged irri-
.ation abilities for region already
developed is certainly different from
the initiation of an entirely new
enterprise which must be necessarily
more Oh less of an experiment. 1t
would appear easily possible for
these lands to carry without difficult
~ bonded Indebtedness Of from
$4,000 to $4,000 per acre ON long
time basis.
compared with similar Irrigation
sections in that highly developed re-
gion the land valuations should
show a rapid increase as soon as
these proposed Improvements are
completed.
Respectfully Submitted.

ent the natural drainage would pre-
vent any "subbing" of the land.
4. CLIMATE. While not so warm
as the lower valley the elevation is
really more desirable. The air drain.
age is perfect and the danger OF
early and late frost is slight.
5. CROP PRODUCTION. There ap.
pears to be no reason why this little
valley should not become a heavy
crop producer. Alfalfa should yield
at least three crops. corn is prob
able successful crop and the soil Is,
in my judgement, naturally adapted
to barley and wheat. The valley
ought to follow out its natural in
clination toward dairying and hogs
and the present production should
be easily trebled by an ample water
supply.
6. MARKETS. The natural market
outlet is toward the town Of Payette,
distant from six to sixteen miles.
This is progressive town on the
Oregon Short Line in the center Of
very thickly settled region. It is
to be expected that most OF the
crops produced in the Little Willow
Valley will be fed on the farms there
either to stock owned By the farm

THE BANKER UNDERSTANDS.

The First National Corn Show to
be held in st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. LIST
to 91st, is now creating unusual In
terest throughout the Northwest. In
response to an appeal recently sent
out by H. L. Dow, the secretary, the
local banks throughout the entire
territory which it is sought to bene'
fit by this competitive exhibition,
are becoming active in the work OF
interesting the farmers of their re-
spsctive communities, who are be-
ing urged to send in exhibits. Pamph
lets will be mailed to farmers who
are known to be successful corn
growers. 1t is pointed out that there
are some four thousand banks in the
Northwest and that if each one of
these should only succeed in getting
enc farmer to exhibit ten ears OF
corn, there would be a total of about
10000 ears. No entrance fee Will be
charged and the local banks will be
glad to attend to the forwarding OF
all exhibits entrusted to them. When
the awards have been made and the
1856 loving cups, valued at $4,000,
have been given as prizes, the corn
entered by contestants will be re-
turned In every case where they re-
quest that this be done at the time
of making the entry. Realizing that
corn and cattle contribute capital
for bigger bank balances and that
the prosperity of the farmer depends
in a great measure upon his activity
and the thorough methods he brings
to bear upon diversified farming and
up-to-date methods Of growing, fe
ing and marketing stock, the bank
ers by their active cooperation, are
not only helping themselves. but the
entire country which must be great
ly benefited by the corn show.

ELECTRICITY TO
HAVE A WEEK
FROM NOV. 20 TO DEC. A.
WHEN WOMEN'S CLUBS OF
THE COUNTRY WILL MAKE
DEMONSTRATIONS.
(From Idaho Statesman)

THE week beginning November 29
and ending December 4, will be a
Lusy one for the local electrical mer-
chants" said F. X. keenan,, local
sales manager for the Electric Invest.
ment company. 'The purpose of the
unusual activity is to accelerate the
swing back of the prosperity pendu-
lum throughout the nation.
Back of the movement are men
representing investments in the cleo
trical industry of more than three
billion dollars. The appeal of the
campaign which is aimed to hit at
hard times prophets and to give
prosperity its true meaning, viii
penetrate to the most obscure Sec
tons of the United States.
''This week will call to the atten-
ton of the public the comforts which
have come to humanity through cleo
tricity. Operating in many ways ii
has created comfort-factors, they
have carried the world out of the
darkness of drudgery into the light
of convenience.
at has, more than any other
agency, enhanced the comfort, health
and happiness of mankind. The same
current carried by simple little wires
serves us with light, heat or power
1t carries our burdens, it transports
US from place to place. It lights our
homes, stores and streets, and thus
protects US from the terrors that
thrive in darkness.
| DOMESTIC USES.
Electricity does our sewing, cook
ing, washing and ironing. 1t cleans
he home, and keeps it free from dir
and germs. 1t supplies warmth in
winter, and cool comfort in summer.
st links together the people of the
world by the wireless, the cable, the
| telegraph and the telephone, making
one huge family of us all.
ELECTRICITY enters into the manu-
facture of practically all our necessi'
lies, making them cheaper and bet
ter than would be possible by other
means.
Electricity finds no duty toe
heavy nor any task too d2licate
With wonderful adaptability, always
under control, it is powerful enough
to drive ponderous machinery, g7ntle
enough to operate an electric fan, OF
70 warm the baby's bottle. 1t is al
ways at hand, it obeys instantly
never sleeps-never tires-never
refuses.
NEVER FAILING SERVANT.
"a twitch of a switch or a touch
of button, is all the effort required
of this willing servant to do your
work. Just imagine what would hap
pen if the electricity were sud- My
eliminated" said Mr.. Keenan,. 1.-THE
wheels of commerce would be halted.
We would be in darkness. Without
telegraph, cable or wireless, we
would be cut off from the outside
world. Without the telephone, we
would again be deaf and dumb to all
absent ones. PROGRESS and prosperity
would suddenly be checked. There
fore, Electrical Prosperity Week is
dedicated in acknowledgement of the
services electricity is rendering"
