DRY FARM CROPS ARE
HEALTHY
Country Between Emmett and
Pearl Full of Thrifty Fields
of Grain.

The dry farming country between
Emmett and Pearl is in a most
thrifty condition, and the yield of
grain will be large this year.
The Index man had not been to
Pearl for upward of 10 years, and the
sight of waving fields of grain every
where on hill and in valley was
revelation to him. Barley and winter
wheat are in head and will be ready
for harvest in a few weeks, and in
dications are for heavy yields. The
fields are a healthy color and the
stalks are knee high.
Not far from Pearl there is large
field of corn that covers hill and it's
slopes. Predictions are made that it
will not survive the dry month of July
but one can't tell. That soil is rich
and remarkable conserver of mois-
ture.

START BUILDING OIL
STATION
Two Tanks Being Installed
and an Office Build
ing Being Built.

The Continental Oil Company Mon
day started construction work on their
oil distributing station to be located
on Park street next to the old electric
light plant building. Cement supports
for the two tanks have already been
completed. Two frame buildings are
to be erected. One of them is a wagon
shed and the other is pump house
and office building combined. The
grounds will be enclosed in a low
chain fence with cement posts.
Considerable objection is being man
ifested to the location of the tanks at
that place on the ground that they
are a menance to neighboring property
and will increase insurance rates. 1t
is contended that there are plenty OF
other locations removed from the bus
mess section that will answer the
purpose without inconveniencing the
oil company and that the company
should take cognizance of the objec-
tionS.

Marines There, Too.

So quietly did a regiment of marines
included in that part of the Pershing
expedition which already has landed
in France slip away from the League
Island navy yard that g sailor
baseball team at practice on the par
ade ground did not know 27OO men, un-
der command of Colonel Charles A.
Doyen, were on their way to the bat
tie front. No drums or bugles sound
ed, and the only ceremony which at
tended the leave-taking was a brief
speech to the officers by Major Cen
eral George Barnett, commandment OF
the corps. The story of their quiet
march from barracks was released
night.

MARRIED

Miss Hattie Shannon, a former
resident of Emmett and a graduate
of the High school, was united in
marriage at Donnelly June II to j.
Gilmore Bell of Spokane. The Dom
nelly Advocate contains the following
account of the wedding: CAT the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. D. NJ. Shannon,
on Sunday IT, occurred the marriage
of their daughter, Miss Hattie v.
Shannon and Mr.. ]. Gilmore Bell, of
Spokane, Washington. The father of
the bride performed the ceremony.
The bride is one of the Valleys most
highly esteemed young ladies, and was
a teacher in the public schools of the
state for several years. The groom
is a worthy young business man of
Spokane, and holds position as book
keeper in the Old National Bank of
that sity. Mr.. and Mrs. Bell left

Disgraceful Vandalism.

Mrs. F. j. Bliss has made complaint
that someone has mutilated and des-
troyed trees planted in the family
burial plot in the Emmett cemetery.
A reward of $100 has been offered by
her for the apprehension and convic-
ton of the parties. The man or wo-
man who will commit such acts of
sacrilege and vandalism has reached
the lowest depth of degradation and
deserves the severest punishment that
can be meted out to him. 1t is hoped
the perpetrators may be apprehended
and an example made of them.

PERISHINC7S MEN
REACH FRANCE
Vanguard of American Soldiers Ar
rive Safely on French Soil.

The advance guard of the mighty
army the United States is preparing
to send against Germany was on
French soil Wednesday night. In de-
fiance of the German submarines,
thousands of seasoned regulars and
marines, trained fighting men with
the tan of long service on the Mexi-
can border or in Haiti or San Domingo
still on their faces, have been hasten
ed overseas to fight beside the French,
the British, the Belgian, the Russian,
the Portuguese and the Italian troops
on the western front.
News of the safe arrival of the
troops sent a new thrill through
Washington. No formal announce
ment came from the war department.
None will come probably until Major
General Pershing's official report has
been received. Then there may be a
statement as to the numbers and COM
position of the advance guard.
Press dispatches from France, pre-
sumably sent forward with the ap-
proval of General Pershing's staff,
show that Major General Sibert, one
of the new majors general of the army
has been given command of the first
force sent abroad, under General
Pershing as commander in chief.
One thing stands out sharply. This
is that Ameriran enterprise has set
new record for the transportation
of troops.
Considering the distance to be
covered and the fact that all prepara-
tions had to be made after the order
came from the White House on the
night of May IS, it is practically GER
tain that never before has a military
of the size been assembled
and landed without mishap
in so short a time by any nation. 1t
is a good augury of future achieve
ments. The only rival in magnitude
is the movement of British troops to
South Africa in the Boer war, and
that was made over seas that were
unhampered by submarines, mines or
other obstacles.
The American forces will be net
gain to the allies. 1t will throw no
single burden of supply or equipment
upon them. The troops will be fed,
clothed, armed and equipped by the
United States. Around them at the
lamp on French soil are being stored
supplies that will keep them going
'or months, and more will follow.

The closing rally of the campaign
was held in the Methodist church
Sunday evening. 1t was a great meet

Hunt rendered pleasing violin solo.
The fund was swelled by many con-
tributions.

Successful Auto Show.

AS an opening of their splendid new
garage, the Wilson Garage company
held an auto show from Saturday
morning to Monday evening in their
new building. Decorations with the
national colors predominating turned
the new building into place of beau
ty. Automobile dealers had on dis
play King 8, Cole 8, Lexington,
Scripps- -Boooth and other cars, in ad-
dition to the Wilson company's own
display of Monroes and Chevrolets,
which attracted large crowd every
day. The Red Cross chapter served
lunches at noon and at night during
Saturday and Sunday and realized
generous sum for their fund. The new
garage is roomy, nicely arranged and
and Mr.. Wilson is very
proud of it, as he has right to be.

Fruit Tonnage Too High.

r. B. Shaw, manager of the En-
NETT Fruit Growers Association, says
T. E. Hance's estimate of 1040 car
loads of apples from the Emmett dis
trict this year is too high by 400 car
loads. Mr.. Shaw, after careful can
vas of the district, places the output
at $40 carloads of apples.

The National Red Cross headquar-
ters have sent out the following warn
ing: "To All Chapters: Numerous
"endless chain" letters have been
brought to the attention of the Red
Cross, many of them for causes
worthy in themselves, but conducted
by unrecognized individuals. Nothing
of this sort has ever been authorized
by the Red Cross, and this is to in

raising money are without the coun-
tenance or cousel of the National
Headquarters. Eliot Wadsworth, Act

RED CROSS FUND NEARS
$4,000 MARK
Gem County Responds N0bly
and Exceeds AppOrtiOnment
Nearly $4,000.

"Tired but happy" was ]. W. Ty-
ler's comment over the result of
strenuous weeks campaign for the
Red Cross fund in Gem county, as he
began to set down columns of figures
to ascertain the total of contributions.
He was proud, too-proud of the re-
cord Gem county had made-proud
of the men, women and children who
had assisted hinl-proud of the large
contributors and equally proud of the
small contributors, the ones to whom
even the giving of a dollar meant a
sacrifice-proud of the boys and girls
who contributed their small savings.
