IS AS announced in this paper last
week, the Julesburg Boosters made
their booster" trip last Tuesday, the
purpose of the expedition being to ad-
vertise the Sedgwick County Fair,
which will be held in Julesburg next
week.
The trip was very successful one
in many ways, and some good legiti-
mate advertising was done. Advertis-
ing matter of various kinds was dis
tributed at the towns visited, the au-
to driven by James Stone being uti-
lized as the "bill posting" car. Messrs.
l.. E. Petersen, Roy E. Stevenson,
Henry Kinsman, Jas. Stone and a Mr..
Saddler, advance agent of the AL G..
Story Shows, had charge of circulat-
ing the advertising matter, and these
gentlemen are indeed to be commend
ed in the manner in which they per-
formed their work. They went at it
to accomplish the best results and
each town received thorough "bill-
ing"
The towns visited by the Boosters"
were Holyoke, Haxtun, Sedgwick and
Chappell, and they were treated cor
daily by our neighbors, it being
generally heard at each of the places
visited that all were contemplating
attending the big Sedgwick County
Fair. --.- ..----
The Julesburg Concert Band accom-
panied the Boosters" and discoursed
an abundance of music throughout the
entire trip, which of course was a very
pleasing feature. The Girl In Red"
who will ride the diving horse "Klata-
wa" at the Sedgwick County Fair,
was also along with the Boosters"
and was introduced to the crowds as
"the bravest girl in the world" and
it was announced that she would pos
itively appear in the thrilling high
diving act twice daily during the fair
in Julesburg. Miss ALASKA" the high
diving girl, who makes the high dive
alone from the top of the big tower,
was also with the boosters.
Buster" Floyd, one of the DR.. Car
yer party, made the trip, and tender

At each town visited the Boosters"
mingled with the crowd, telling them
about the big fair to be held in this
city next week, and extending cor
dial invitation to all to be in attend
ance. Although a number who had in
tended to go on the trip last Tuesday,
found, right at the last moment, that
it was impossible for them to make
the trip, those who did go did their
best to make up for any deficiencies
that might be caused for lack of num-
bers, and they proved to be the real

and the Sedgwick County Fair. Be-
sides advertising the fair, which was
the direct purpose, our city as whole
received some good publicity, in the
fact that the impression was left with
our neighbors that Julesburg is up
and doing at all times, and that our
progressive citizens are putting forth

DAVIS LIEUTENANT IN MARINES
Former Grangeville Boy Commissioned
Officer of Soldiers of the Sea.

DIR. Wood received an interesting let
ter this week from Chilly" Davis, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Davis of this city
and well known Grangeville boy, which
he kindly permits us to publish. Davis
is now an officer in the marines and
writessinterestingly of the service in the
following vein:
~ suppose you have heard that /
passed my examination for the marine
corps last November. But we were de-
layed until April LIST, the principal
reason for which was that our names
went to the senate with DIR. Grayson s
and then the president delayed signing
our commission. For a time things
looked rather blue, and especially as
we were not drawing pay.
"There are thirtysix of us here at
the officers school and l guess we are
about the only second lieutenants in
the crops; and in fact we hold first
lieutenants numbers and possibly cap
tains' numbers, if they increase the
corps to thirty thousands. The course
here has always been eighteen months,
but on account of the urgent need of
officers it was cut to twelve months,
and we wehe told that we would be
here only three and half months. They
have what they call "intense training,
and we certainly are getting it every
morning at $40 and straight through
the day until p. IN. After that we
have to start studying for the next day
But it is very interesting work, and
something we must have.
"Ward graduated on March 26th, and
was sent to the Nevada. She is one of

Julian Jones. returned Wednesday
evening from Portland, where he has
been studying music for some time, and
left yesterday for his home across the
river. He intends enlisting in Com
pany E, Idaho National Guard, in the
near future.
The farmers report the loss of great
many young pigs this spring and the
short this year. The protracted winter
season and backward spring weather is
largely responsible for the losses sus-
tanned.
VIM. Reckman, of Greencreek, de-
livered six-horse load of potatoes here
Saturday that brought him SIS and he
still has about $50 worth of "spuds' at
home. All were grown on less than an
acre of ground, which beats grain farm
ing by quite wide margin.
Fred Pfannebecker was in the city
Tuesday from his farm in the Winona
section for the first time in many
weeks. He is still travelling on a crutch
as result of spraining his ankle quite
badly some time ago. He said they
hope to start farming operations the
latter part of this week.
A. o. Martin and Howard MeKinfe,
started down Grave creek Monday to
try and locate some range on the river
but found the creek running so HIGH
that it made crossing dangerous and
returned. They said some of the small
bridges were under water and that
boulders were washing down stream and
could be heard half mile away.
Herman Hussman has rented 120
acres of bean land near Sweetwater
station, in the Lapwai valley, and went
down the first of the week to close the
contract for the land. The owner fur
nishes the ground, seed for planting,
and prepares the land for the crop, while
Herman does the planting, cultivating
and harvesting and gets half the crop.
We would not mind tackling a similar
ourself with beans at the
present price.
A. w. Maris disposed of his big crop
of potatoes last week and, while we are
not appraised of the exact price it will
probably reach more than 3b cents a
pound. He dug the potatoes last fall
and placed them in pits where they
are in the best of shape. Owing to in
ability to deliver them to market on
account of the drifted roads he did not
dispose of them during the winter and
VOW realizes an extra fancy price as
result of holding onto them He states
he will have about 900 sacks and ex-
poets to realize better than $4,000 for
them, while the cost of the seed and
labor will not amount to much more
than 800. This is some profit and will
pay several times for the land on which
they were grown.
