Grade Pupils to Give Operetta.

Miss Frances Rundstrom, super
visor of music in the public schools, is
preparing to give an operetta entitled
"The Voices of Nature" all parts to
be sung by pupils in the grades. 1t is
clever, tuneful production, especially
fitted to children's voices, and the cos
tuning is SIMPLY charming. The
operetta is in five scenes. The first
shows the appearance of the flowers,
who in flower-like costumes and sweet
songs tell their mission; then come the
busy buzzing bees; next the merry
song birds, followed by the funny
frogs, who with characteristic grace,
give exhibitions of their vocal skill.
The last scene is an ensemble Of all
the little nature folks, in separate and
part singing. An unlimited time and
no end of patience is being spent in
its preparation, and no doubt it will
be one of the prettiest entertainments
of its kind ever given in Emmett, and
every one will be interested in seeing
what our children are accomplishing

GAS NEARLY FATAL TO
CHILD
Infant of George Eckelbar Has
Narrow Escape from
Asphyxiation.

The 3-wseks-oa haby Of Mr.. AND
Ma George Echslhar escaped death
BY -asphyxis4ipa s1 through the
persistent efforts II the attending
physician.
The case is most peculiar one. On
Sunday, Mr.. and Nrs. Eckelbar left
home in their auto TO visit Fred Ans
baugh. Mrs. EcisIhar rode in the
back seat and carried their 3-weeks-
old baby in her lap, covered by lap
robe. When the Amsbaugh home was
reached, the infant was discovered to
be unconscious and black in the face.
Gas fumes from the exhaust of the
car was the cause. Dr. Reynolds was
hastily summoned and for three hours
worked persistently to restore the
child, and during all that time it was
a battle royal with death. Victory
finally rewarded the skill and persist
ence of the workers. But it was
narrow escape

Potatoes Climb in Social Scale.


Idaho potatoes may take their place
with California oranges as q delicacy
worth pages of advertising in the ma
tional mediums. "Sunkist" potatoes
from Deer Flat may sound rather
strange but the fact remains that
present prices warrant placing the
ordinary Idaho spud on the role of
honor as delicacy. Potatoes by the
dozen instead of by the car, ton, sack,
or pound is now an actuality in Cald-
well, the center Of = potato producing
district. Thursday afternoon local
grocery store blossomed out with
window display of IL potatoes with
the crptic label, "$1 per Dozen" while
right beside it was a pile Of represen-
tative California oranges at rs cents
per dozen. The potatoes were nice
ones, but they were potatoes never
theless. Local restaurants Thursday
five cent charge for a
service Of potatoes. Information in
dicated that while Caldwell farmers
sent out many carloads of potatoes
last year, today there is an actual
shortage with the prospect Of consid-
cradle difficulty being experienced by
growers in obtaining sufficient seed
for spring planting.-Tribune.

Discuss Lumber Rates.

R. E. Shaw, of the Citizens Lum-
Der Company, was in Boise the first
of the week, with other lumbermen,
holding conference with Short Line
and P. & l. N. officials in an endeavor
to arrive at satisfactory rate on
rough, green and unassorted lumber
to be shipped from the upper coun-
try to Emmett. Boise, Nampa and
other neighboring towns. At present
there is no rate on rough lumber, and
the lumbermen who deSire to bring
rough logs down to the planning mills
in the valley must pay the commercial
lumber rate. Az the rough logs cut
to . waste, this requires them to pay
freight on the waste, which, they claim
creates = discrimination against them
and in favor of other companies which
have planning mills nearer the timber
sources. The present commercial rate
on lumber is $3.50 to Boise and Nam
pa.

Celebrate BIRTHDAYS

At the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. j F.
I. Bayse. jolly birthday dinner was
given between 4 and o'clock this af-
ternoon, the honor guests being Mrs.
Chas. Barber and Mr.. Basye, both of
whose birthdays are today. 1t has
been an annual event of happy and
congenial association since the discov-
cry several years ago of the coinci-
dence of the anniversaries. Ten guests
enjoyed this delightful occasion: Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Barber, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Baetkey, Miss Inez Norwood.
Guy Knox, Leslie Little and Mr.. and
Mrs. Basye. A lovely Towering be-
gonia, with other flowers, decorated
the table whose brilliancy was accen-
tuated by the birthday cake with its
numerous candles. We were not per-
mitted to count the candles but we
have 1t on good authority that Mr..
Basye today passes the 74th mile
stone, while Mrs. Barber is too mod
est to mention her years, but she is
many years his junior Mr.. Basye is
pioneer of Idaho, having lived here
since 1858 and his many, many friends
Will congratulate him upon his hale
and hearty condition at this time ard
wish both him and Mrs. Barber many
many more birthdays.

DAM PROJECT LOOKS
BRIGHTER
Black Canyon District Seeks to
Share in Proposition
Water $4,000 Acres

The proposed dam at Black Canyon
looks more promising every day, and
the committee and officials Of the dis
trict are more optimistic than ever.
Despairing Of securing water from
the Boise river for reclaiming land in
the Black Canyon district between
Emmett and Caldwell, negotiations
looking to joining with the Emmett
Irrigation District in the construction
Of the dam have been opened by Mr..
Babb, representing holders of between
10000 and 10000 acres of land in the
Black Canyon district, and it is ex-
pected that a definite proposition
along those lines will be made. If
such union of forces becomes a
reality, it is estimated that the cost
of the works to the Emmett district
will be reduced in the proportion that
the acreage in the district bears to the
lands that come in from outside the
district.

PARMA'S SENSIBLE
WAY
City Controls Cemetery and All De-
nominations Unite in One Church

Mike Gilbride was in Parma Sunday.
While there he sold carload of his
cement tile to the city to be used in ir-
rigating the cemetery. This burial
ground was taken over by the city
along the same plan as is proposed in
Emmett. Former owners, including
several lodges, turned over their in
terNsts to the city, which maintains
It, and it is self sustaining. The
lodges control their former holdings
in 30 far as the sale of lots is concern
ed. The grounds, under the city's
management, have been transformed
into q most beautiful place. Mr.. Gil
bride says, and is in constant charge
of an appointee of the city. There is
no friction Of any sort and everyone
is pleased with the new arrangement.
Parma also has community church,
which is one of the institutions of
that town to which all citizens, ire
spective Of sectarian belief, point with
pride. All denominations are includ-
ed in its membership. The preacher
is Presbyterian and a broadguaged,
man Of God. As a result,
the Protestants have concentrated
their efforts upon one strong church
instead of having half dozen or more
half starved churches, and the COM
munity is reaping great benefit Par
ma is sensible.

WEARY OF LIFE, TAKES
POISON
Despondent Over Domestic
Troubles, Mrs. Eunice Patton
Secures Relief in Death.

Mrs. Eunice Patton, aged 35, mother
of seven children, committed suicid,
Sunday night about II o'clock by
swallowing strychnine. Death ensuet
within half an hour afterwards. The
only witness to her rash act was De.
Witt Yates.
The deed was committed near her
home a short distance north of the J,
S. Robinson residence in the north
eastern part of town. The strychnine
was in vial and was purchased the
day before on the pretense that her
father, A. J. Sullivan, had sent her for
it to kill gophers While talking to
young Yates, she drew the vial from
her dress and swallowed the contents.
Mr.. Yates hastily summoned Crete
Robinson and the two with difficulty
succeeded in getting her to the en-
trance of the Bank of Emmett build
ing, where she died before physl-
clan could arrive. Coroner Brown, af-
ter a thorough investigation Of the
circumstances, decided there was no
need of an inquest.
Mrs Patton was the daughter of A.
j. Sullivan. She was born at Coffey
vile, Kan, November 27, 1884, and
came west with her parents 81 years
ago, settling at Haley, Idaho, where
she grew to young womanhood and
where she was married to Mr.. Patton.
Seven children were born to them. The
eldest of the seven is married and
lives in Washington. Several months
ago she separated from her husband
and had been employed at the EN-
NETT Cafe. Since separating from her
husband she had had spells Of des-
pondency. Troubles seemed to multi
ply. The future held out no ray Of .
brightness and life was not worth
the living. So she decided, and sought
,olace in death. The funeral services
we're held Tuesday morning from the
,hapel and burial was in the Emmett
cemetery.

DRAINAGE COSTS ARE
EXCESSIVE .
Land Owners Urge Postpone.
ment Of Further Action-
Organize. to Fight Case.

Land owners IN Drainage Distriei
No. Of Gem County are up m arnsa
against the confiynaa1ioa Of the report
of the commissioue1a ef the district,
hearing Of whiek csunes up in dis-
trict court May 1, and 1t = largely IT
tended meeting in Commercial Club
rooms Tuesday evening, adopted 10
solution calling upon ths commission
ers to withdraw their report and sub
stitute therefor action that will dis
miss the proceedings now pending
without any further litigation. More
than 100 land owners were present and
the resolution was adopted by almost
an unanimous vote.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, it appears from the report
OF the Commissioners of Drainage Dis
trict No. 1, of Gem County, Idaho, now
on file in the office of the Clerk of the
District Court of this county, that the
costs and assessments for the i'm
provements proposed are vastly in ex-
cess of the pretended estimates as to
such costs placed before the people of
said district before the creation Of
said district; and
Whereas, it appears that there was
deceit and misrepresentation as to
such costs in order to induce land own
ers to give their consent or TO with
hold their opposition to the creation
IF said district; and
Whereas, it appears that the costs
and expenses incident to said drain
age district are in excess a any ad-
1ition to the value of the landa as 4
whole IN said district that vail result
rom said proposed impro0ennent; and
Whereas, we feel that thi1 present
,ime Of excessively high priees and
wages Is an improper time to proceed !
With the construction Of the proposed |
works.; therefore,
Be it Resolved, That we hereby call |
pom the Commissioners of said Drain- |
.ge District to withdraw thRir said |
eport ~ report unsupporto1 by the
acts, ana to file substitute report to-
ne effect that they find the facts
o be that, at this time, the costs, ex-
enses, and damage of said proposed
will exceed any values
dded to the lands of the district as a
1hole, so that the district court may
ismiss the proceedings now pending
Tithout any further litigation.
