TO BUILD A MODEL
GARAGE
Rowers & Sinclair to Erect
Building 50x130 Feet at Main
and Hayes Streets.

The old Reagan frame building at
the corner of Main and Hayes, one
of the few remaining landmarks of
the early days OF this section, is
doomed. 1t will be removed to make
way for a concrete one story build
ing so by 130 feet, to be erected at
once by Bowers & Sinclair, owners
of the property, and which has been
leased to the Emmett Auto and Gar
age company for term of years.
1t is planned to make this garage
one of the most modern in the state.
Messrs. Bowers & Sinclair, and J. w.
Burton and Ray Hartley, members of
the garage company, left this morn
ing for tour of inspection of gar
ages at Weiser, Payette, Ontario,
Caldwell and Nampa to get ideas for
plans for the new building. Construc-
ton work will start at once and 1t is
expected to have the building COM
pleted inside of go days. Tentative
plans are for a concrete building with
a pressed brick front. In addition
to the machine shop, storage for auto
mobiles, store room for auto sup
plies, ETC., a nicely furnished room,
equipped with lavatories and toilets,
will be provided, where travellers may
rest and refresh themselves. The roof
will be supported by trusses so as
to avoid pillars in the interior. The
lower walls will be heavy enough to
support additional stories.
The Emmett Auto and Garage COM
pany succeeds ]. w. Burton. The
members are j. w. Burton, Ray
Hartley and Joseph Kelley.

Pheasants a Nuisance.

Ranchers down the valley complain
of the depredations of Chinese phea-
SAINTS and say they have become so
numerous as to be a nuisance. They
devour large quantities of grain, and
have an ingenious way of threshlng
it out by flying over field and beat
ing the heads with their wings. They
then return and pick up the gram
from the ground. They even invade
the farm yards and fight with the
domestic fowls for the feed the farm
ers throw out. John Wilton says
they are scrappers and have whipped
every fowl on his place. Farmers are
demanding that the birds be put in
the open season class with other game
birds.

DUCK SEASON
OPENS SEPT. 7
Conference of State and Forest Of
ficials Decide Upon That Date

Forest Supervisor Mains was in
Boise Tuesday in conference with the
state game warden regarding the con-
fiict of open seasons on migratory and
insectivorous birds.
While there be learned that the
secretary had prepared a set of regu-
lations for the approval of the presi-
dent revising the seasons.
These revised open seasons were
published by the department of agri-
culture May 20, 1916 and period of
three months was to be allowed for
consideration and approval. When ap-
proved they were to go into effect
August 1896.
No notice has yet been received by
the game department regarding the
final approval of these regulations,
but State Game Warden Jones and
Supervisor Mains are of the opinion
that if the seasons prescribed there
in are observed by sportsmen in the
taking of this class of game birds,
there will be little danger of prose
cution by the federal authorities.
Under these amended regulations
it would be permissible in this state
to shoot water fowl, except swans
and wood ducks, from September 7
to December 20.

Instead of the usual arbitrary in
crease in valuation of land in this

neville, Canyon, Clearwater, Custer,

A Love Bird

Mrs. Amelia DeClark a few days
ago picked up in her yard strange
bird with brilliant plumage of green
and gold. 1t was about the size of a
sparrow, but little longer, and had
head and beak like parrott. The
bird was sick and soon died. A South
erner says it is "love" bird and is a
native of southern climes. Itinerant
vendors following circuses and carni-
walls often sell them, and it is pro-
bable this bird escaped from a cage
in one of Emmett's homes.

Autos in Collision.

Two automobiles, one belonging to
Roy White, the hardware dealer of
New Plymouth, and the other owned
by Col. W. c. Hunter, had head-on
collision Saturday at the Emerson
schoolhouse east of town. The Whites
were on their way to Long Valley for
an outing. Both cars were damaged,
the White car so badly that it was
unable to proceed until repairs had
been made. The only occupant of the
cars to be injured was a young daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Hunter. She was
thrown from the car and suffered
slight injuries. The corner where
the accident occurred is a dangerous
place, as high weeds along the road
side shut out the view of approach
ing vehicles.

Another Store Building.

Present indications are that an
other store building will be erected
this year on Main street between The
Index building and the new garage,
by B. C. Bowers and w. W. Hoops,
owners of the lot. Negotiations are
in progress between these gentlemen
and H. B. Johnson of Lewiston for the
lease of the proposed building for a
furniture store. The building will
have a frontage of 30 feet and the
front will be of pressed brick. II
this building is put up it is quite like
ly that the Masonic lodge will pro-
ceed with the erection of their tenn
pie and thus fill in the gap between
the Bowers building and The Index.
In that case both buildings will be
two stories high.

SWEET PIONEER DEAD
w. A. Talley, for % Years Resident
of Idaho, Passes Away.

|
The death of w. A. Talley at Mon
tour yesterday afternoon removes one
of the best known and most highly
respected citizens of the Squaw creek
valley, where he had lived for %
years. Death was caused by ulcer of
the stomach, ,sfrom which he had suf-
fered for several years. He passed
away surrounded by his wife and
children to whom he had always been
faithful and loving husband and
father.
w. A. Talley was born at Rochelle,
ILL.,, December 10, 1852. He was a
natural pioneer, ever pushing on to
new and undeveloped countries. So
in 1869 he moved to Wichita, Kan,
then in 1872 he went to Osborne, Kan.
In 1878 he moved to Gaylord, Kan,
and engaged in the sawmill and lum-
bering business, and from 1887 to
1888 he conducted livery business.
selling out May 21 of that year
the call of the West brought him to
Idaho. He located first at Dry Buck
where he again engaged in numbering,
operating a sawmill in partnership
with his brother John. After a few
years he located at Sweet and engag-
ed in ranching. For eight years he
conducted livery stable there, but
when the railroad extended to Mon
tour he sold out and started in busi-
ness at that town. He is survived by
wife, five children, two brothers
and two sisters. The children are:
Gilbert, William, Helen, Mrs. Owen
Dix and Mrs. Lloyd Cox, all living in
that section. The brothers are John
of Mexico, Mo-, and Lee of Sweet,
and sisters, Mrs. James Martin of
Sweet and Mrs. W. A. Carpenter of
Boise.
Mr.. Talley had been prominent
factor in the development of Sweet
and the Squaw creek country. He
was a good citizen, kind neighbor,
honest, upright and charitable. His
passing will be deeply mourned by a
very large circle of neighbors and ac-
quaintances in all parts of Boise and
Gem counties.
The funeral will be held Friday af-
ternoon from the Methodist church
in Sweet, Rev. Seward conducting the
Music will be furnished by

Dam Nearly Washed Out.

There was considerable excitement
at the Michigan-Idaho company's
sawmill Saturday, when discovery
was made that the dam was in danger
of being washed out. Prompt work
saved it. Had it been washed away,
the company would have lost their
supply of logs. The mill is making
rapid headway in order to clean up
all logs on hand by January /, when
their lease expires. Last week 1881
600 feet were sawed.

The new schedule of rates submitted by tine power company relative to the pumping contract was made the occasion for a sort of an informal meeting of the city council last evening.
