VALLEY SUPPLY
COMPANY ADDS
CREAM AGENCY
Has Largest and Most
Attractive Store in
Aberdeen

The store of the Valley Supply
company in Aberdeen comes as a
surprise to the stranger within the
gates, and it is undoubtedly an insti-
tuition that the community should be
proud of. Every department Incl
dental to the up-to-date general mer-
chandise business is represented in
their place of business, and the
stocks in the various lines that they
carry are new, clean, fresh and to
the close observer reveal the fact
that there is very little merchandise
in the ablishment that does not
seem to have been bought yesterday.
The business was started some
nine years ago by j. P. Wedel, when
Aberdeen had but twelve families,
or about fifty people. The original
building on the same corner was
twenty-five by forty feet, and to use
Mr.. Wedel's own words it was started
on shoestring." By hard work
and constant endeavor the business
has steadily grown to its present i'm
pressive proportions. Mr.. Wedel,
ST., came first to Aberdeen when
there were but three houses there

cause their desire is to do all that is
possible in behalf of the rising gen.
Grafton, the school levy is higher
than in other similar settlements.
Aberdeen has always been prompt
in the raising of war funds for vari-
GUS purposes and has invariably gone
over the top. At the outset they had
some difficulties with conscientious
DIRECTORS, or what ever they might
be termed, but they have succeeded
in educating the recalcitrant mem
bers Of their community so they
gladly toe the mark.
For quite a while Aberdeen has
lacked representation in county and
state affairs and there is an earnest
determination among them at the
present time to get busy and see
that they are represented. While the
roads are not very bad they resent
the fact that only very small part
of their highways are graded and
this condition should be improved as
it doubtless will be soon.
The biggest problem that the
Aberdeen county has to face at the
present time Is that of the dry farm,
cassioned by climatic conditions.
especially in the past two years, &C.
One of the large questions in this
regard is that practical weed law
should be passed. The seeds, especi-
ally on abandoned farms, work great
hardships on those who remain to
till the soil. The weed law should
make the nonresident owner of land
keep the weeds cut on his property
and thus prevent the seeding and
spreading of the seeds. According
to their figures in the Aberdeen Sec
ton, one-twelfth of the time of the
county farm agent should be spent in
the Aberdeen country, whereas num-
erous statements have it that the
county agent goes over once month
or so, shakes hands with them, is
very pleasant and does not accom-
'plish much in their behalf. In addi-
ton to the weed law there should be
a continuance of the bounty system
on rodents and the county should
loosen up and furnish more poison
and spend little more money to
help the dry farmers.
The crops in the vicinity of Aber-
deem are looking exceptionally good
this year and very little pessimism
is noticeable among the population.
1t is striking fact that in assess
ing the people of that country for
their war stamps, liberty bonds and
Red Cross quotas they are assessed
on an equal basis with the older
communities, whereas the people
about Aberdeen are still pioneering
and paying the bills incident to early
settlement.

ABERDEEN SCHOOLS
SECOND TO NONE

$4,000 Building Not
Big Enough to House
Extensive Educational
System.

The schools of Aberdeen are
among the best in the state and in
view of the efficient way in which
they are conducted it is little wonder
to the outsider that the taxpayers
have no objections to the rate of
taxation. .....s .....
The school building, which
originally cost $4,000. is now too
small and thru the populace kicked
like proverbial brindle steer they
now wish they had planned it much
larger. sN
The following are the officials and
high school teachers: w. e. David
son, superintendent; Mrs. Kate
Archer, principal; Ruth Anderson,
english; F.. w. Roberts, physics,
botany and agriculture; Miss Flora
Loomis, domestic science. The fol-
lowing are grade teachers: Thelma

seventh grades; Mrs. w. e. Davidson,
fifth; Miss Anna Dvorak, fourth;
Miss Marie Lichtenheld, third; Miss

ABERDEEN HAS
A new MODERN
GARAGE BUILDING
Messrs. R. B. and J. G.
Colburn Start a New
Enterprise.

The biggest addition Aberdeen
has had for a long time in the build
ing of the new Service Garage, which
cost $4,000, by A. L. Colburn, and it's
occupancy and operation by Messers
r. B. and j. G. Colburn. The build
ing is 100 feet by SO feet and is we'll
constructed of concrete and brick,
and is amply large for the conduc-
ton of large business. The rear
is arranged for a machine and repair
shop, while in the front spacious
office room has been built. Upstairs
over the front of the building mod
ern rooms to serve as home for one
of the partnes have been installed
and the whole place is conveniently
and attractively fitted up.
Messrs. r. B. and J. G.. Colburn
have already installed a gas and oil
service system and soon will be
equipped with a lathe and a complete
vulcanizing and welding outfits.
They are agents for the Saxon Car in
their part Of the country, and will
add other makes as soon as arrange
ments can be made.
The senior Mr.. Colburn has been
a big factor in building up the Aber-
deem country, always kept his money
at home, and even when the hard
est times came along always ex-
pressed unbounded confidence in the
ultimate prosperity of the country.

ABERDEEN COUNCIL
OF DEFENSE ACTIVE
Met With Many Trials
in the Beginning, But
Have Overcome All
Successful y.

Much credit is due the Aberdeen
council of defense for their efficient
and untiring work in the handling
of many problems that have arisen
in that community and handling the
bond and other allotments they have
been called upon to raise since our
entrance into the war.
The committee is composed of the
following men: J. e. Graham, chair
man; e. l.. Davis, secretary; M. A..
Fugate, H. L. Lowe, J. T. Dvorak,
M. G. McKinnon members. Consid-
cradle trouble was experienced by
these gentlemen in the early stages Of
the war in thoroly embuing the peo-
pie whose religions and other tenda-
cies were against warfare, but in this
they have succeeded.

and none between there and Ameri-
can Falls. His son Alfred Wedel is
the capable manager of the business,
and he is ably assisted by Charles
E. Pratt, of whom there is separate
sketch.
1t is the policy of the Valley Sup
ply company to take advantage Of
every opportunity to increase the
good service that they are giving to
the public, and they show their will
ingness to share their prosperity with
the people and patrons who have
made their success possible. Mr..
Wedel considers his business a neces-
sary factor in the upbuilding of his
community and the welfare of the
people and he takes pride in keep
ing pace with the spirit of the times.
They have recently added the agency
for the Mutual Creamery company
to their other interests
j. P. Wedel has been a prime fac
tor in the making of Aberdeen what
it is today and has always been
prominent in church affairs, being at
the present time deacon in the
Mennonite church. Two years ago
he had the misfortune to lose one
of his sons, Tobias Wedel, who was
killed on beet dump. The deceased
sons widow, Mrs. Zelda Wedel, is
still working in the store. The Men,
MONTE church, which Mr.. Wedel has
helped to build up in the Aberdeen
country has now about 125 members,
who are jealous in the upholding of
the chosen form of religion.

most super-human task to raise the
necessary money to keep it going.
The right-of-way was purchased from
Moreland to Aberdeen, at cost of
$4,000 cash in one lump. In 1903
the company was reorganized and a
new lease on life taken. Even at the
present time the system is now losing
money. They are doing all they can
to boost the country and to make
their holdings more valuable. Only
5000 acres of the irrigated land un-
der the system are yet for sale. For
this land they are asking $40 an
acre. The townsite of Aberdeen it.
self is nearly all sold. A.
The name Of the company at the
present time is the American Falls
Canal Security company and the Of
ficers are F. A. Sweet of Salt Lake
City, president; L.. r. Martineau of
Salt Lake City, secretary and treas
urer and Nora Jones Lowe is the
agent in charge at Aberdeen. .
Mrs. Lowe is a woman Of 'excep-
tional ability and business acumen
and she has done much to bridge the
pitfalls and smooth the rough places
over which the affairs of the COM
pany have been obliged to travel.
She states that much of the 5000
acres they have yet to offer to the
public is most desirable. ,Mre. Lowe
also states that there is wonderful
opportunity in the country of Aber-
deem for the investment of capital
in building houses and bungolaws
for rent. 1t is almost impossible at
the present time to get house in
which to live and rents are high for
such locality.

The fact that the Aberdeen coun-

main to the wonderful enterprise

The old American Falls canal and
Power company undertook this stu

eighty-six miles of main canal in
1895, which is the original date of
the water-rights that they grant.

The store that they now occupy
stands on the site of the oldest
one in town and the first mercantile
establishment was conducted on the
premises under the name of the old
Hamilton company, which went out
of business, after three years of
sporadic life.
The new Peoples Store has a wide
and varied stock Of general merchan-
disc and the various departments
show skill in buying while their
prices keep on an even basis with far
more pretentious establishments in
larger towns. The two partners, one
of whom is reproduced in this paper,
