game in the post-season series from

The score was to l. The Slope had
a patched-up team and only the mast

what appeared to be overwhelming
odds. Frank Berry and DR.. Rose were

LIVED IN IDAHO HALF
A CENTURY
T. b. Williams Crossed the Plains
With Oxen in '62
from Wisconsin.

To have crossed the plains in a
wagon drawn by cows, to have
watched the progress of development
this state has made during more than
half century, and 10 have been an
active participant in that development
these are achievements that have
fallen to the lot of Thomas B. Will
liams of Emmett and of which he has
good reason to be proud.
Fifty-two years ago July Z, Mr..
Williams, with his parents and brother
Richard reached Boise after journey
of three long months through an un-
tanned wilderness from Iowa county,
Wis. They travelled in two wagons,
each drawn by a pair of cows. 1t was
wise provision to take cows instead
of the customary oxen, for these ami
mails were not only the motive power
but were food depots, supplying the
party with milk and butter during
the entire trip. Though Indians were
on the warpath and evidences of their
savagery were seen all along the
route in the lifeless and mutilated bod
les of travellers who had preceded
them, the daring and brave homeseek-
ers escaped molestation. Arriving at
Boise they found a small settlement
housed in tents, ths overflow of the
multitude that had ben attracted to
the Boise Basin ~ tAa lure of gold.
Their stay at leisAwas not long, as
supplies were needed. so they contin-
ued on to the Dalles, Ore, where they
spent the winter. In 1863 they re-
turned to Idaho and settled on Dry
creek near Boise. There house was
built out of lumber whipsawed by
their own hands from logs from the
virgin forest. They lived there seven
years, spending most of the time
freighting between Walla Walla and
Idaho City, then populous city Sup
plies were high. Flour was selling
at from $25 to S45 a sack; eggs and
butter at 81 dozen or pound; hay $40
a ton. Mr. Williams remembers hav-
ing paid $6 for watermelon and big
ones sold as high as S12. These were
grown on the Anderson creek ranch,
east of Emmett, now owned by the
Mcconnell brothers.
Mr.. Williams located in Emmett in
1870, and here he is spending the
evening of his busy life surrounded
by a wife, family OF stalwart sons
and handsome daughters and host
of friends. May he be with US many
more years.

FOREST FIRE PREVENTION
Short Line Takes Great Precautions to
Guard Timber from Fire

Rangers report that the past two
weeks of hot dry weather has rapidly
dried out the timbered regions in the

Increase In Income
For Forest Reserve

Washington. Aug. 5.-Ihe ua-
tional forests turned into the L..
5. treasury during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1915, nearly ST.
100000, an increase of more
than $4,000 over the receipts of
the previous year, according Go
statement just issued by the
forest service. The timber
sales, which amos.nted to St.l6i-
900, yielded on account of The de-
pressed condition of the lumber
industry, about $4,000 less lhol
those of the previous fiscal year.
but the gain was made p0siIia
by larger revenues from other
sources. The grazing receipts.
which totaled SLIPS, 900. increas-
ed $4,000 over last year. and
the water power receipts, which
amounted to not quite 100000.
showed an increase ofnearly s42-
600.
The Generalization of the lur-
pentine industry on account of
the wars curtailment of The naval
stores market caused The receipts
from the sale of turpentining
privileges ON the national forests
to drop to about $4,000, as aginsl
nearly $4,000 last year. The
sale of special use permits, under
which all sorts of enterprises.
from apairies to whaling stations,
are operated ON the forests, yield
ed nearly $4,000, an increase of
$4,000 over last year. There was
a decrease of-nearly $4,000 i'm
the revenue derived by lrespass
cases in which government tim
br had been cut without intent to-
defraud, the revenue from this
source being only a little more
than $4,000. More than $1,000,
however, was collected from other
timber trespass cases. Grazing
trespass cases yielded nearly Sc. D.
600, an increase of about $1,000
occupancy trespass cases, which
occurred in only one of the sew
Ell forest districts, turned i'm less
than $3.50; about $50 was derived
from turpentine trespass cases.

bodys urinous waste and stimu-
lates them to normal activity. The
function of the kidneys is to filter the
blood. In "a hours they strain from it
500 grains of acid and waste, so We
can readily understood the cital i'm
portance of keeping the kidneys ac-
tive.
Drink lots of Water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in glass Of wa
ter before breakfast each morning for
a few days and your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice
combined with lithia, and has been US
ed for generations to clean and slim
ulate clogged kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it no Ion
ger is a source of irritation, thus end
ing bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking
and no doubt you will wonder what
