brother OF Mrs. r. G. Gage, has come
down from Canada to take hand with
Lester Gage in running the farm, and
will probably make his future home
here
Eugene Sullivan, from the coast re-
g-ion. was here this week looking af-
ter his farm half mile south of the
depot Gene bought this place about
four years ago and after one year of
residence here returned to the coast,
leaving the farm in the hands of rent
ers. The care which they didn't give
the place has left what may be made
a good farm. about as productive as
dry farm in a season of drouth.

Earl p King, with Dick and Jack,
made an auto trip to the dry farm
country last Sunday, examining the
farm Of Mrs. Neid who is away for the
summer. They found her place, like
all others in that vicinity, wholly de-
stroyed as to crops. Drouth, extreme
heat and myriads of rabbits have COM
bined TO, make the Eand a veritable
desert.
Some weeks ago J. A. Bailey built
neat little house adjoining his business
places in which to handle the cans OF
cream. coming in for shipment. In our
Dietrich items the reporter in a sport
i've vein spoke, of the neat and commo-
dious creamery Bailey had erected
Thep item increased his mail receipts
more than 500 per cent. From all parts
of the country come letters soliciting
orders for all sorts of machinery with
which to run his creamery. Jack has
rad to employ an extra clerk to look
after his correspondence.
J. p N1icheB who halls from the lit
tie dukedom of Luxumburg, in Europe,
a good, loyaf man, but not quite a citl-
zen yet, was surprised when he went
to ShoshoIse to buy some explosive for
use in making a cfstern on his farm
east of town. Nix. He was not suffic-
iently naturalized yet to be trusted
with explosives.

Carol and Rupert; Mr.. and Mrs. Thos-
Claspilf: Mrs. L. ri Mustard and son,

and children formed a happy company

The reporter apologies to Mr.. and
Mrs. J. M. Cfar kfor not mentioning
their auto trip to Boise about four
weeks ago On the return trip when
several miles out from Boise they met
with an auto accident that necessitat-
ed the return of the machine to that
city for repairs. They got home but
the car is there yet. It may be tnat
the fact of Mr.. Clark attending DEM
ocratfe convention had something to do
with the accident.
