Packed Pups In.

Roy Wilbur is running a blacksmith
shop at Knox. He went into thai
country in May. At even that time
snow was deep on the summit, ant
Roy had quite strenuous time in get
ting his blongings through. Among
his possessions was an Airedale dog
and her two young pups. The snow
was too deep for the pups, so the pups
were put in two gunnysacks and plac-
ed on the mother pack saddle fashion
and thus transported to their destina-
tion. Occasionally the baby dogs
would get hungry and set up howl
that could not be stilled until they
were released from their confinement
and allowed to nurse Both mother
and the babies survived the hardships
of the journey and the youngsters are
now big and robust.

Thirty Cars on Sauaw Creek.

Just to give an idea of the wheat
production in Gem county this year,
Mr.. Mingus says the estimate of the
Squaw creek country alone is 80 car
loads. When to this is added the
large acreages of the Brownlee, Mon
tour, and Emmett bench and valley,
the need for facilities to handle the
grain, and its conversion into flour
right at home is apparent. 1t is sure
ly wasteful business spolicy to ship
grain out and ship flour in.

GRAIN ELEVATOR NEAR
COMPLETION
Coop. Exchange Expects to be
Ready to Receive Wheat
on Monday.

The conversion of portion of the
large storage warehous of the Coop.
Exchange into grain bins and the in
stallation of elevating machinery is
nearly completed and Manager Frank
Mingus expects to be ready to re-
ceive grain the first of next week.
The elevator will have a storage
capacity of $4,000 bushels. The bins
are located on the north side of the
warehous, alongside the switch tracks
and extend from the basement to the
roof of the main building Over that
portion of the building the roof has
been raised so as to make another
floor, and there the cleaning machin-
cry and scales have been installed. A
chute for unloading grain from wa
gons carries the grain to the base
ment bins and thence is carried by the
elevating machinery to the upper
floor, where it is run through the
cleaner, weighed, and distributed to
the bins, according to grade. Spouts
convey the grain from the bins to
cars when shipments are to be made
The cleaner has capacity of $50 bus
hels per hour. The machinery is to
be driven by five h. p. electric motor
The Exchange is buying for Port
land firm. There are no middlemen
to get rake-off between the two
firms, and all shipments go to the
Oregon city.
With the large acreage of wheat in
Gem county, this elevator and the
buying power behind it will be of
great. service to the farmers. Cash
will be paid at the market price and
all grain correctly graded This ele-
vator is temporary makeshift to
cover an emergency Next year it |
is hoped and expected. to build more
substantial and larger plant and build
a flour mill in connection. This was
the intention this year, but the finan-
cial stringeney necessitated postpon-
ing this more ambitious project until
later.

ANOTHER SCHOOLHOUSE
NEEDED
New Building to be Erected for
Pupils in the Plaza
NeighborhOod.

In order to meet the demands OF
school patrons in the territory be-
tween the Emerson school and Plaza
the school board will build a new
schoolhouse in some centrally located
place in that section.
Negotiations are in progress for the
purchase of an acre of ground in the
fruit farm. A building to contain
vicinity of the Harry Carmichael
fruit farm. A building to contain one
room is planned. This building viii
be constructed on the unit plan so that
additional rooms may be added as
need requires.
That section of the district is grow
ing and it is only question of a few
years until there will be sufficient
pupils to require additional room. At
present there are about Is pupils. The
only other alternative to building is
to provide conveyances to transport
the pupils to the town schools. The
board considers that a building will
be more economical.

Tribe of Bachelors diminishing.

The local lodge of the Ancient Or
der of Confirmed Bachelors, of which
in years gone by J. P. Reed, E NJ.
Reilly, Geo. Burkhard and others have
been shining lights, has had another
desertion in the person of H. D. Nc
Vean. The membership has fallen to
such low point that there is danger
of them losing their charter. Only
four remain-Joe Rynearson, John
McNish, John D. Little and E. A. Nc
Kay-and some of them are under
suspicion. Mr.. McVean and Mrs.
Myrtle Bechtel of Caldwell were un-
tied in marriage Saturday at the nome
of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Smith, Bishop
Smith officiating. After the cere-
mony the couple were charivaried by
being given an automobile ride up
and down Main street. They have
taken rooms temporarily at the Col
onial, but expect to set up housekeep-
ing soon in Riverside addition.

Dainty Morsels.

Frog legs are the dainty morsels
upon which many ranchers and town
people of Emmett are feasting these
days. Besides, the catching of these
amphibians is sport equal in pleas
ure to fishing. Frogs are plentiful in
the sloughs this year. Elias Aston,
son Elmer and others caught 130 on
Sunday. Cub and Bonaparte Moulton
also made good catch Monday and
The Index folks shared in the spoils.
Saddles of frogs are the ne plus
ultra of viands and have spring chick

New style in Eggs.

The Index has had all kinds of eggs
laid upon its table-eggs with double
yolk,. with double yolk and double
white, with no yolk at all, with shells
and without shells-eggs with Tom
and Jerry and without Jerry-eggnog
and just plain egg with nog lost in
the shuttle. But it fell to the lot of
Frank Mingus to lay upon our table
an egg of brand new design. If the
shell were not white we'd guess it
was an English walnut, for the outer
covering is convoluted, corrugated,
wrinkled and gnarled. AS it was laid
of the first of the month, Old Biddy
must have been worried over the bills
coming in.

AUTO CRASHES
INTO HORSE
Reckless Driving Responsible for
Near Serious Accident.

While driving cattle to town Sunday
night after dark, horse upon which
James Kesgard was riding was STRUCK
by an automobile driven by John Parr
and both horse and rider were hurled
distance of Is feet by the force OF
the impact. Mr. Kesgard was stunned
for moment, but escaped serious in
jury or broken bones and the horse
sustained only scratches.
The accident-if such it may chari-
tably be termed-occurred on the road
in front of the old Adams farm house
west of town. The cattle were being
driven by Mr.. Kesgard and his son,
both on horseback. The night was
getting dark. The car, with no lights
burning and travelling at high speed,
suddenly dashed up the road from
town and before any more than a
momentary glimpse of it could be
had, dashed upon the two riders. The
boy was directly in its path. To
avoid him the car turned and struck
Mr.. Kesgard's horse The horse evil
IDENTIFY caught sight of the car and
whirled and ran, but the car was 60
ing too fast to get out of the way and
it struck the horse on the hind legs
with terrific force, hurting it to the
ground The rider by sheer strength
to extricate his feet from
the stirrups and fell free of the
horse. The force of the blow badly
wrecked the car.
Such reckless driving as this is
nothing less than criminal and if the
young man should get his deserts
would be severely punished. He is
luckily to get off without charge of
murder being placed against him.

ROAD SUpT.'S VALUE
IN EVIDENCE
Effects Saving Of S60G0 in the
Repairing of Letha
Bridge

The value of county road super
visor has been demonstrated in an
emphatic manner by the saving to
the county in the repairing of the
Letha bridge
Traffic for vehicles was resumed
Saturday after a lapse of several
weeks due to the west span of the
bridge settling and wide gap being
washed out where the approach was
by the high water. A temporary
trestle has been built and a new ap-
proach made This will serve until ar
rangements are made for permanent
repairs, which viii require an addi-
tional span.
The estimate from bridge contrac-
tors for the temporary work was
$4,000. Under Supervisor L. ].
Phelan's direction the work has been
done at approximately $4,000, saving
of $4,000 enough to more than pay
his salary for three years.
Another example of the wisdom of
the county commissioners in placing
all road work under a county super
visor's control and direction is the
new road to Montour over the hills
east of town. The estimate of this
work was placed at $4,000. 1t cost
less than $4,000, including the reduc-
tion of the Shellrock grade and the
general repair of the road to that
point,s This amount includes machin-
cry purchased
