Attaching the Wire After 1t Has Been
Stretched.

perature Of about 220 degrees, long
enough for the preservative to pene-
trateS the wood. These posts are best
set in the spring after the frost is out
and when the ground is soft. On level
ground they may be driven with a
maui, but in depressions should be an
chOred down by by cross pieces
spiked on the bottom Of the post before
setting. The distance between posts
depends on the location of the fence
and the numbers and kinds of stock
to be turned, the average in field fences
being about 20 feet.
To construct woven-wire fence
properly : it is necessary to have a
woven-wire stretcher, single
wire stretcher to be used in at
taching the fence to the end posts, a
pair of wire cutters, barbed-wire
stretcher, splicing tool, and hammers
for stapling and fastening the wire.
Barbed and woven wire may be un-
rolled by attaching the reel to the
back of wagon or by running bar
through the core and drawing it along
with q horse.
Stretching the Wire.
After the wire is unrolled 1t should
be drawn up to the line of posts and
freed from adhering trash. The
stretchers are then attached and the
line wires drawn until they are so taut
that they can just be pressed together.
Some slack may be allowed for uneven
ground. In fastening the wire on the
posts the line wire should be kept as
nearly horizontal as possible and al
lowed to follow small Irregularities In
the ground. The staples should per-
nit horizontal movement of the wire,
allowing the weight of the fence to
come directly on the corner posts, thus
taking care of contraction and expan-
sion due to weather. conditions. A
woven-wire fence is not complete with
out strand of barbed wire above it;
this prevents the stock from reaching
cyer and crowding it down.

START GARDEN EARLY

An early beginning in prepar-
ing the, land and planting gar
dens is of much Importance.
Regardless of the seasons it is
well to get an early start. That
planting over may sometimes
be necessary cannot be denied.
But little is lost when garden
land must be planted over, for
the labor necessary to prepare
the land is always well en-
ployed. Much is lost if early
maturing vegetables are plant
ed too late. Get your garden
land ready and plant on time.

UNITED STATES POST OFFICE

Dear EQlIOr.-
I wish to take this method Of
publicly expressing through the coll
umns OF your paper, my sincere
gratitude for the faithful and loyal
service rendered by the boys in the
office, the city carriers, and the
rural carriers They have clearly
demonstrated the fact that their
days work is not measured in hours
and minutes, but in service rendered,
often remaining on duty after their
regular hours have ended in order to
serve the public faithfully and we'll.
This is the season that taxes the
postal service to the limit of its ca
pacity. The exceedingly heavy
mails, snow, inclement weather. and
often difficult roads, tend to slow up
the service little, but nevertheless
in spite OF the difficulties encounter
ed, you find your mail delivered at
the door each day.
We take great pleasure in an
nouncing that the appearance OF the
parcels presented for mailing shows
wonderful improvement over previ-
Gus years. The neat and secure pack
ing and wrapping and the plain ad-
dressing reveal great care and a
conscientious effort to aid the Post
master General in his campaign to
improve the postal service. We
thank you.
ALBERT z. WHITE,
Postmaster.

tains two class rooms, 26x30 feet,
the lighting in these rooms are Of
the latest pattern windows on the
side of the rooms, and seats so ar
ranged that the light falls on the
pupils left. The rooms have q seat
ing capacity of 35 each and are heat
ed by a pipeless furnace in the base
mnt. The ventiIating system is also
Of the latest perfection. There is
full cement basement running under
the building which contains beside
the furnace, a community room SIX

used for community social purposes,
such as parties, entertainments and
Grange meetings. The kitchen is to
be. equipped by the women of the
district with an electric range and
all necessary kitchen appliances.
Besides the class room the first
floor contains well arranged cloak
and book rooms. The present en-
rollment of the school is As so it is
expected that the building will be
adequate for some time to come.
Miss Olga Johnson has been in
charge of the school. but from the
first of the year Miss Bertha Blind

care of the four upper grades.
The people of District No. are to
be congratulated in that they have
given their children the best aid to

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE

Several weeks ago a move was
started by some of our poultry rails
ers to hold a poultry exhibition IN
Payette during the third week in
January. The matter was brought
before the Chamber of Commerce for
it's approval or disapproYal. Presi-
dent Coughanour appointed com
mittee to find a suitable location and
to estimate approximately the ex-
pense it would be necessary to incur.
Upon a report of the committee back
to the club, their report was ac-
cepted and they were instructed to
go ahead, using every effort to make
the show a success.
At our last meeting the attendance
was so small that it was impossible
to get an intelligent expression from
the businessmen relative to the fl
nancial support that it would be ne
cessary to have. 1t was a little dis
couraging, but the matter now has
gone too far for US to quit. The COM
mittee acted in good faith; they took

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
NEAR FRUITLAND

A mysterious occurrence took place
Tuesday evening at Fruitland that is
still a mystery. Mr.. and Mrs. Z. G.
Chapman who live at that place, and
own farm about three miles south
of Fruitland, where they live during
the summer, left their home for On
tario about one o'clock. Their son
Guy, a boy about eighteen years OF
age who attends school at that place,
returned home before his parents
and found note on the table, writ
ten on a piece of pasteboard which
read: ITO the Chapman's. Better
come to the ranch, something
wrong. The boy without waiting
for his parents started on foot for
the ranch and before reaching the
place, overlook VIII Tharp, neigh
Dor, living near the ranch, who told
him, he had better come to his
place and take supper before return
ing home. After finding nothing
wrong at the place, young Chapman
returned to the Tharp home where
he took supper and decided TO go
back to the ranch and stay over
night taking with him, Mr.. Tharp's
800 rifle. On reaching the house
he went inside and without making
a light before going to bed, went to
the telephone to notify his parents
through a neighbor next door to the
Chapman home, that he would not
be home until morning. He had
only partly finished the message
when without hearing a sound was
seized by the throat by strong
hand and was hurled to the floor
with a blow in the face. The young
man GRABBED the gun which he had
left standing by the telephone when
q struggle for life ensued, during
the encounter the gun was dis
charged through the ceiling, young
Chapman receiving a blow on the
back Of his head knocking him TO the
floor, when the man made his escape
through the door into the darkness.
Mr.. Chapman finding the note on the
table and receiving the telephone
from the neighbor who
said she could hear the choaking
sound and the encounter which fol-
lowed, Immediately went TO the
scene and found the son at the Tharp
home not seriously injured from the
encounter

STRIKES GOOD
VEIN OF GAS

Widespread interest is being taken
in the Idaho Oil & Gas Cos. gas well
which struck producing gas last
week. This gas came through 40
feet Of soil which had been blown up
into the casing by the force of the
gas. Arrangements were made to
give a demonstration of this gas last
Saturday night for any who wished
to see 1t burn, but the driller was
unable to get proper burners to han
die the heavy pressure by that time.
However, he gave a very good demon
stration to a large number of people
Saturday night by burning the gas
from a perforated pipe, which burned
20 flames five or six feet high These
burners, however, could not hold the
full pressure of the gas.
The driller has been busy this
week and has twice cleaned out the
dirt which has driven up into the cas-
ing and has drilled two feet further
into the cap rock above the gas sand.
This has materially increased the
pressure OF the gas. Mr.. Stevens
states that as soon he can secure
the right kind of gas burners he will
give another demonstration of the
gas pressure outside of the derrick
whore it can be seen from some dis
tance away from the derrick.
AS the joints in the inch casing
are leaking considerable gas at the
present time. the driller is planning
to run a smaller pipe down 70 the
gas inside of the eight inch casing to
cut off all leakage. He believes the
pressure will increase as more gas is |
forcing its way through the well
every day.
