PROJECT MAKING
GOOD PROGRESS
LITTLE WILLOW IRRIGATION
PROJECT LOOKING FINE
BUSY HAULING MATERIAL.

The Little Willow Irrigation
Project has been making splendid
progress during the good weather
and good roads. Two large trucks
haw. been for some time running
day and night hauling cement and
supplies to the camp at the dam
sight. Over 300 tons of cement have
already been hauled out, and the
work is still continuing, they are
taking advantage Of the good roads
before wet weather sets in and en-
deavoring TO get the material On
the ground early. The base work
for the cement dam is about COM
pleted and the contracts for the con-
structing OF the canals is about all
let, and much Of that work is well
under way. ". D. Case has a con-
tract for ten miles near the lower
end. There is one good feature con-
nected with the construction of this
project and that is the Bonding Co.,
who are furnishing the money have
their engineer in charge and are
bound TO see that the work is done
as it should be, and have let the
contract to responsible parties,
y iney Brothers & Co. have the repi
utation Of not sighting any part OF
their work and will see that !
all sub contracts are done in the |
same manner and from the rapid |
progress being made there is mol
question but what water will be
ready in plenty Of time for next
year.

LIBERTY BOND DRIVE.

! Tho campaign fer The Second
Liberty Lean Of 1917" in Payette
County came 10 glorious close on
Saturday evening, Oct 81, the date
Isst throughout America for the end
of subscriptions.
IN allotment Of $12O, GOO had been
made for Payette County by the
managers Of the State Campaign.
This was regarded as being very
high since the county is believed to
have about 5000 inhabitants and
such an allotment would mean an
average subscription CT s24.OO for
each man, woman and child in the
county m. F. Albert was appointed
county chairman and Dr. J. c. Wood
ward was made local chairman.
About thirty prominent citizens ac-
cepted positions on teams that were
detailed TO @ozk ali -sscticrs Of the
territory contiguous to Rcystte while
New Plymouth and Fruitlahd con-
Quoted their own campaiyns
During the entire week proceed
ing the closing day workers sought
subscribers to the bonds but the
work took on new energy during the
last two days. On Saturday night
tho County Chairman Mr.. Albert
computed the grand total of sub
scriptions for the county to be S146,-
10000 which exceeded the allotted
quota by s26,OC00O.
OF this amount the several COM
munities tcok approximately the
amounts stated below:
New Plymouth $4,000
Fruitand 1000,
Payette S127, 600
1t will thus be seen that PayetteY
alone exceeded the amount appor-
toned to the entire county. Many
sacrifices were made in order to do
this. The student body Of the Pay
etta High School took a tctaa of s2,-I
10000 while the Faculty took the
sum Of 100000. Grade teachers, al
so, were liberal subscribers. Saw
inss of years were brought forth and
invested in bonds. 1t seemed that
every one was favorable and that
each one tried to do his best
of tha thirty nine counties in
Idaho only IA oyersubscribed their
quota, and Payette, one OF the new
est counties, was one of these. The
psople have every reason to he proud
of their effort and Of the results OBJ
tanned.

FORD CAR GOES INTO CANAL

Last Wednesday four men riding
in Ford car and going at a rapid
speed, turned over into the Farm
ers Irrigation Canal on the State
Highway Just soUth OF New Ply
mouth. 1t seems the driver got con-
fused when approaching the ditch
and made an attempt to turn down
the ditch bank with the above re-
suits. Two of the party were quite
badly hurt, and were brought back
to New Plymouth by J. r. Nc
Kinney who happened along at that
time, and from there they procured
a car to Ontario. The other two
men, who were unhurt, with the
assistance Of farmer living near
by, removed the car from the ditch
and brought it to New Plymouth for
repairs. We were unable TO learn
the names of any Of the parties. but
understand they belong in Ontario.

PASSES FROM
AMONG US
MRS. GEORGE r. FULTON.

! We made mention last week Cd
the death of Mrs. Fulton. A fuller
obituary notice is fitting when one
SO much esteemed as she passes
from among US.
/ She was Eliza A. Woodcock be-
! fore she became Mrs. Fulton. Her
birth place was Wooster, Mass, and
the date March 21st, 1910. The Wood
cock family trace their line back to
the Mayflower, and Mrs. Fulton was
worthy descendent. She was mar
ried to George R. Fulton July 2lst,
1851 at Rochelle, III. These were
stirring times something Ike these
only more so, and wien Co. H OF
TIL 92nd III. Infantry were leaving
for their field of ction the city OF
Rockford presented them with
large Gag. The honor OF presenting
1t was conferred on Miss Woodcock,
as her name was at the time. The
incident is OF peculiar interest to
one OF our Payette citizens as he
was a member and is now the only
Idaho member Of that Co. J. II. Bow
ers is the one who reports this with
great pleasure.
The Fultons moved TO Kansas IN
1870 and helped turn that state from
desert to the fertile weal'hy state
that II now is. Seven children were
born to them, three of whom died
in infancy, and another as he was
just coming to young manhood; so
there wers but three to rejoice their
later years; Charles R., welknown
in our business circles, Miss Lena
who has been with the parents al
the years, and Mrs. E. H. Bruba-
ker whose home was here until a
year ago when she with her fam
ily moved to Arizona. She however
was here several weeks before the
mothers death so that she had the
pleasure of having them all about
her as the end drew near.
Funeral services were at the home |
on Friday, Oct. 26th and on Satur-
day the body was taken tc the old
Kansas home for burial Father Full
ton, George. and Miss Lena went
to the burial. Mrs. Brubaker with |
her children accompanied them an
far as Denver but turned from there,
to her Arizona home
Mother Fulton lived a beautiful
life among US and made friends as
one living so is bound to do. Her de-
parture is not an occasion for wall
ing after the fashion of the heather,
FOR she had been granted many hap
py years here and had a sure hope
for the hereafter. The sadness of
parting was very keen as it must
be where love has abounded, but
death relieved her from a long per
iod of acute suffering. She had been
confined to her bed nearly all the
time since July. The sympathy of a
large circle of friends goes out to
the family, but We can scarcely
wish for those we love anything bet
ter than that they may meet their
end as well prepared as hse.

INDEPENDENT MEAT MAR
KET CHANGES HANDS.

The Independent Meat Market
which has been owned and operat-

hands. The owners are Will Griggs
and F. W.. Whiteman of Portland.
Mr.. Griggs is an old timer in the
meat business and has given the
best of satisfaction. Mr. Whiteman
is stranger in this community, but
We have all reason to believe from
his appearance that he will make
good. The new firm will endeavor
to give the public the best of ser
vice and maintain the reputation here
tofore had by the Independent.

HEAVY FREEZE CAUSES
MUCH DAMAGE,


The heavy freeze during the first
three nights of this week has caus-
ed heavy loss TO fruit growers. !.
The low temperature is something
almost unheard Of in this country
at this time of the year. 1t is be-
heved that some varieties will not
withstand the test. Winesaps seem
to be practically ruined, and some
other varieties are badly damaged. 4
1t is estimated that not more than
SO per cent of the crop has been
gathered. and in some cases almost
the entire crop is still on the
trees. The damage however is not
confined to this locality. Colorado Is
much worse than at this place. The
freeze was heavier and the gather
ing had just begun. All orders for
box material countermanded, and picl
ing discontinued The loss CT apples
