of the books, and are now perfect
ing plans for some necessary chang

will be done at once. There will be
ample office rooms for the County

ATTENDS SHR|NERS
At MINNEAPOLIS
AND RETURNS WITH A SHRINE
or HIS OWN FROM GRACE
WILLIE, MINI.

I As ehronicled in these columns
| last week Fred Moss is in the tolls
rs a life term for Fred. He has the
sympathy of a large circle Of fri
ends as evidenced by their willing
ness to smoke his cigars, eat his
cigars, eat his candy or chew his
gum. He left home some time ago
with the avowed intention of attend
ing the Shriner's convention at
Minneapolis, but the Shrine at Grace
Vile seemed to attract him from
tho direct course, and having got
ten little off, and his friends have
been anxious about him, for it was
plain to be seen that he was hard
hit last winter, something happened
to him. He has passed to the bourn
from which no bachelor returns. He
has enjoyed years of celibacy but
their glory has faded and gone; yet,
he is in good hands. Leorette Bren-
nan of Graceville, Minnesota, now
Mrs Fred Moss of Payette, Idaho,
is well worth going after A lot of
pnople are wondering how Fred ever
won her, but he says it's a plain
case of reward of merit" Anyway
they were married at the home Of
the brides parents, at Graceville,
Minnesota, and went to Minneapolis
for a short stay, Fred says they at
tended Shriner's convention, and
then home to Payette, where they
will spend the summer in the A. B.
Moss home, Mrs. Moss, mother of
the groom, going to the coast to
spend the summer Further than that
''deponent sayeth not. E" We hope they
will stay in Payette for they are
coed substantial people, the kind
that are a credit to any community.

Payette Again Visited by Fire.

This time the barn belonging to
w. R. Higgenbothom was totally de-
stroyed. Tho building took fire about
10 o'clock on the Fourth, presumably
caused by the shooting of fire crac-
kers. The fire company soon re-
sponded and prevented any other
building from burning. The adjoin-
ing barn on the south which was
but few feet away, was in flames
when the fire department arrived.
The fire company is doing some good
work. Mr.. Higgenbothom's car was in
the barn but was rescued.

NEW WAY
To SAVE THE
RESOURCES

George Hannauer. general manager
of the Indiana Harbor Belt railway,
points out that;
1t is suggested by the commission on
car service that the railroads call at
tention of the public to the saving in
food that will be accomplished by
avoiding live stock losses on railroads.
The railroads are inAugurating a
campaign to stop losses so far as it is
possible on their part and suggest that
the general public viii help materially
by:
(a) Keeping all food animals in fenc-
ed enclosures.
% BY having town officials pass
and enforce ordinances prohibiting
stock from roaming at large. Il have
repeatedly seen cows walking down the
railroad company's right-of-way in the
city of East Chicago right in the heart
Of the busiest industrial section.)
(c) Farmers and all persons who
have occasion to use gates to live stock
enclosures. get the habit of keeping
them closed.
The railroads on their part win have
superintendent. roadmasteTs and sec
tionmeh call on farmers to discuss the
ways and means of reducing the loss
Of food animals.
Engine and trainmen viii be caution
ed to do everything possible to avoid
striking such animals.

STORM IS
VIOLENT
AFFAIR

The heavens crashed and stormed for
more than two hours last night in one
Of the worst electrical storms Of the
year. Accompanied by miniature
whirlwind and a deluge Of rain loud
cracking claps of thunder followed a
picturesque scene Of a dark sky sud
denly illuminated with long fiery
tongues Of vivid lightning sent more
than one weak heart underneath some
convenient bed.
The heaviest damage reported today
was from the street railway company.
Armatures, insulators and wires were
either broken or put out of commission.
Many men worked during the night re-
pairing the storms damage when
amounted to thousands Of dollars. Some
trouble was also reported by the tele-
phone company.
Crowds on the streets scurried to
shelter. Theatres were without lights
for a time during the heavy lightning.
The storm receded for a short time only
to reopen with a more severe dsIuge
and louder crashing reports of thund-
er.
The storm. coming from the north
west. billowed high the lake waters and
swept much driftwood upon the
beaches. Few boats ventured out last
night. the storm being forecasted.
Fortunately. few accidents were re-
ported to homes. The ire department
was not called once.
Trees on farms in the vicinity were
bent low and many snapped of.
