JEFFERIS BRINGS
IN THE LIMIT

While the sportsmen of the town
and community were enjoying the
first day of the open season for
shooting ducks, Sheriff Jeffries al
so takes a hunt and brings in the
limit. The other hunters found no
difficulty in packing in the results
Of their days sport while it required
two automobiles and a truck to
bring in the Sheriff and his game.
Mr.. Jeffries required no dog to To-
cate his birds but had a covy all
spotted and made B-line for the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. L. G. Gibson,
one mile and half east of Fruit
land where he quietly walked into
the house with a search warrant and
found a most complete Still in oper-
alton. Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson are late
arrivals in that community and were
living in a rented house on the old
Jesse Graham farm about one and
a half mile east of Fruitland, and
from all appearance were solely oc>
cupied in the manufacture of moon
shine whiskey. The Still was located
in the bedroom where two oil stoves
two wash boilers and a pressure
cooker were being used and were
in operation when the unwelcome
guests made their entrance into the
home. The lids to the boilers were
fastened down by the use of many
clothes pins and plaster paris with
the coils fastened to the lids. A
search of the premises disclosed the
location of barrels of mesh; (prun,
bran and corn meaD; gallon jugs,
2 quart bottles and a quart fruit
Jar full of the finished product. Also
two 20-gallon beer kegs presumed
to contain cider and prune wine.
The three jugs were located in an
irrigation ditch back of the build
ings. Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson were
game Ioosers and made no denial
of their guilt, admitting they had
been doing a good business, selling
their product at $4,000 per gallon.
Prosecuting Attorney Haynes, Dep
uty Walbricht, John Pierce and
Night Marshal Fenske were in the
party with Mr.. Jeffries, who, after
sending to Payette for a truck,
brought Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson and
the complete outfit to the County
Jail where Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson
were arraigned before Judge Luther
and waived any preliminary hear
ing. 1t is not likely they will demand
a trial in this case.

REALTY BOARD
HOLDS CONVENTION

The Payette County Realty Board
held a very interesting Convention
Wednesday afternoon in the Com
mercial Club room at the Court house
and banquet at five in the evening
at the Hotel Bancroft. The object
of the meeting and banquet was to
entertain a delegation from the mem
bers of the Interstate Realty Board
who had arranged to stop over on
their way to Denver, Colo. to attend
the Convention of the National Real
ty Board. The visitors, and those
who addressed the Convention were
A. l.. Murphy of Caldwell, E. B. Art
baud of Hoquam, Washington; F. w.
German, of Portland; |. E. High OF
Boise; w. ES. Bruce of Boise; Geo,
A. McKenna of Portland; c. V. john
son, Salem, Oregon; P. A. Cowgirl
of Portland; and C.. ]. Brown OF
Weiser. Attorney Haynes of Payette
also gave an interesting talk relat-
ing some of his personal experience
in Realty work in settling the Pay
ette Valley years ago. After the ban
quet the visiting delegation togeth-
er with a number of Payette men.
went to Ontario and assisted in the
organization of Realty Board at
that place.
The proper organization OF
Realty Board if conducted as it
should be, is one of the greatest
boosting organizations any commun-
ity can have. It eliminates the fric-
ton among the Real Estate men,
and gives the public in general more
confidence in the men who are hon
estly engaged in the real estate
work. Besides an honest, well or
agnized bunch of men can have
considerable influence in the COM
munity to help bring about many
things of Importance to the COM
munity. 1t means the Real Estate
men will work in harmony for their
own good and the good of the people
in general and not work selfishly
and generally to the end no one is
benefited.

PENDLETON ROUNDUP.

Pendleton, Oregon.-New relay
strings from California, promising
even faster relay and pony express
races than heretofore, will be seen
at the 1920 Roundup which opens
Thursday, Sept % and shows for
three days. These strings will COM
pete against the old favorites who
have thrilled Roundup audiences
for years past.
Indians of the Umatilla reserva-
ton, in spite of the high cost of get
ting Indians to perform, will be in
the parades and much in evidence
at the show this year. There will
be at least 500 of the natives and
their cayuses in the parades, lending
that element of savage finery that
is so appealing to those who come
here to see the real west.
Roads leading to Pendleton are
being put in the best possible con-
dition for auto travel and each will
be generously marked with signs
to point the correct way to the
Roundup scity. Special efforts
have been made to provide ample
Accommodations for auto tourists and
they are also to find enough gaso-
line here to start them homeward
with a full tank. The Roundup
seat sale opened Monday, Sept. 9Th.

MALHEUR COUNTY. FAIR
ONTARIO, SEPT. 21 To 2

One of the most interesting fea-
lures, and one that few people in the
Northwest have ever seen and never
shown in this part of the county, will
be the triple drop from the balloon,
to be performed daily at the Malheur
County Fair, Sept. 21 to "a, in On
tario.
This means that the balloon must
be at least 1900 feet in height before
the drop is started as the performer
makes three distinct drops before
reaching the ground, using three
parachuttes before landing.
A three passenger airplaine viii
be used in giving daily exhibitions
of stunt flying and two passengers
will be carried by the aviator on
these exhibitions, which will last
about 80 minutes each day.
There will be a carnival at night
down town with many riding devices
high diving, slack wire performances
street dancing, slide for life and
many ther novelties every evening.
The American Legion expect to
stage some good boxing and wrest-
ling matches during the Fair and to
look after some of the down town
amusements, and every one can look
forward to the present fair being the
biggest and best ever held in Nal
heur County.
The Fair will be a bigger and bet
ter fair this year than ever before.
Especially is this true with regard
to the agricultural, horticultural and
stock displays. The premiums Of
fered by the fair board are three
times those given heretofore and
should bring out the best display of
products of the soil and live stock
that has ever been shown at the
Fair.

DUCK SEASON OPENS

Today is the first day of the open
season for shooting ducks. Many of
the local sports we're out bright and
early and the bombarding began at
the break of day, and by noon most
of them were back to town with
fairly good luck. The Editor, while
somewhat of a sport, stayed at home,
but was remembered by Mr.. Smith,
the foreman of the shop, and w. A
Bartlett who bagged a number of
good ones, so we will have a feast
on wild duck just the same.

AN EARLY PIONEER
VISITS PAYETTE

T. F. Williams, one of the pioneers
of early days in the Payette Valley
arrived here last Monday travelling
in a row boat down the Snake river.
Mr. Williams was an early settler
here in 1873, and at that time had
control of about 1000 acres of what
is now called Whitley Bottom, and
was quite extensively engaged in the
cattle business. In 1877 he became
interested in the gold excitement in
Klondyke and went with the first
rush to that country, enduring the
hardships of packing in on foot and
by dog trains. He was successful in
securing considerable wealth, but
like many others, squandered it in
endeavoring to get more. Mr.. Will
liams made several trips back and
forth and finely left Payette for
good in 1894. His trip here at this
time is quite a revelation to him to
note the wonderful improvements.
He is now making the trip from Buhl
by boat, prospecting for gold along
the way. He expects to go as far as
Olds Ferry. His stop here was to
visit for a few days with some of
the old pioneers, but found only
few whom he knew in early days.
The faces whom he recognized were
Peter Pence, n. A. Jacobsen, ]. H.
Connyers, w. A Coughanour, Frank
Moss and J. S. Thurston.

1T MAY HAVE BEEN JUST
THE CANADIAN BREEZE

J. F. Orr, Division Manager for
the Idaho Power Co., returned
from Spokane Saturday, and from
his own story we have reason to be-
lieve that Jim had a glorious time
while in the city. Spokane is only
short distance from the Canadian
line and it may be the wind was
blowing from the north. However,
he returned in fine shape and seems
to be none the worse for the trip.

Secretary Daniels Resents
Charge That American
Navy Caused Delay
FULL REPUTATION
BY THE ADMIRAL
Secretary Compares the Admiral With
Baron Munchausen-Sa Says American
Army Materially Shortened War -
Result of Careful Plan.

WASHINGTON, May l4.-Rcar Ad-
miral Sims's "falacious and baselcss
charge that navy department delays
prolonged the war four months unnee-
essarily was practically the ONLY
charge Of unfavorable result from the
many alleged sins of omission and cons
mission the officer had ascribed to
the department. Secretary Daniels told
the senate naval investigating commit
tee today 1t was fully refuted, he
added. by the admiral s own testimony.
''Fhe charge Of the prolongation Of
the war was definite and serious
one, y said the secretary 1t was
made with reckless disregard of The
facts and the reasoning and statistics
adduced in its support are those which
one might expect to find in the fantas-
tic tales of Baron Munchausen.
''It is not necessary TO wander far
into the realms of statistics of techni-
cal questions to show the absolute fal-
lacy of Admiral Sims s elaims,' Mr.
Daniels continued ''As matter ot
fact the American army materially
shortened the war, he said 1T got
to the front as soon as it was humanity
possible, not by chance, but as a re-
suit of careful plans involving com
plete cooperation between the army
and navy carefully carried out.
