There is lot of young fellows in
this community that could well take
pattern after our townsman, Col. G.
F. Thayer. Some weeks ago the
Col. purchased 40 acre tract of
sage brush land on the Payette
Heights, purchased a team and has
gone at the clearing, leveling and
otherwise improving the land with
all the vim of a man in his eos. He
has several acres in excellent condi-
tion and planted to Potatoes. The
Col. is somewhat of a potato king,
not many years hence, he was in the
fancy potato business on a fairly
large scale and supplied many
exhibits at the State and County
fairs. If all the young men of to-
day had the nerve of Col. Thayer,
there would be less loafing on the
corners.

ROBBERY AT NEW PLYMOUTH

The town of New Plymouth was
again visited by burglars some time
during Sunday night. The Golden.
Rule store was entered and about
$4,000 in cash taken from the cash
register, but so far as can be as
.certained, no goods was taken. The
White Hardware was also broken
into and the safe broken into but
as it contained no money it is be-
lieved nothing was taken. Both
places were entered by breaking in
the back door. The safe was not
blown up, but entrance was made by
smashing the knob from the eombin
alton lock which gave opportunity
for the burglars to manipulate the
lock with their fingers. Sheriff JEFF
fries was notified and wento ut to
make investigation and is endeavor-
ing to get trace of the guilty parties
Finger prints were taken by Mr..
Smithwick of the Motor Service Co.
who is an expert in doing such work.

HEAVY FROST DOES
SOME DAMAGE

The heavy frost of Sunday night
done considerable damage to the
fruit crop in this section, especially
to Sweet Cherries, Apricots and
Peaches. Prunes seem to have with
stood the heavy freeze better than
any other variety of fruit. Some va
rieties of apples are quite badly
damaged, especially among the arli.
er varieties and on sandy ground
where the blossoms were further ad-
vanced. 1t is hard matter to esti.
mate the damage done at this time.
as the bloom is so abundant a small
percentage left would make a full
crop. 1t is believed by many of the
growers, that unless we encounter
more heavy freezes the apples and
prunes will be fairly good crop.

all three wards by small majority,

EASY TO RAISE BANDIT ARMY
Manuel loxado Made Hunger Hls

Thereby Ross 70 Power.

Manuel LOzado. the Mexican bandit,
whose remains now lie in the cemeter..'
near Topic. In the newly made state OF
Nayarit, gave the key to the whole
Mexican problem by his strategy in or.
ganizing armies, declares Charles
Johnston. In The Atlantic. Lozado
WAS notable because he waged war
against three presidents. Renito
Iuarez, Lerdo de Tejada and POrfirio
Diaz, and because he raised and
equipped armies Of poems strong
enough to attack great cities like Topic
and Guadaiajara, In a struggle lasting
from 1870 to 1877.
1t was LoZado's custom, when a new
campaign against the central authori-
ties was In contemplation. to send his
bOdyguard down from their iairs in the
high Sierras to the fertile plains. with
orders TO cut down all banana plants.
thus destroying the chief food supply
Of the native villages.
The poems starved for a while, and
watched their women and children
starve, then they came up the noun
tains In body and begged Lozado to
enroll them In his army Of bandits to
lead them forth to plumber. which for
them meant simply food.
This gives a clew to the situation,
declares Mr.. Johnston. because II
shows that banditry and plumber are
the last resources Of hungry poems

n'eager sustenance Is cut off.

From the opening chorus TO the
last number, the program was full
Of pleasing harmony. sparkling humor
and clever little hfts. Perhaps the
most appreciated OF these was the
work If the junior boys in the Fish
ing Song" and of the primary in their
military drill with dolls, as an immense
flag slowly unfolded from the ceiling
during the drill, and covered the en-
tire back Of the stage being greeted
with continual applause. Although the
program was long it was so varied
and with something appealing to every
taste that it seemed all too short, is
the opinion rendered by many who
were in attendance.
The fact that the program was pre-
scented so well and artisically speaks
well for the talent and adaptability
Of the children and the young people.
Mrs. G. A. Green Is deserving of
great credit for the success of the
concert, and all who had the pleasure
Of attending 1t are profuse In their
praise and justly accord due consid-
GRAFTON for the untiring patience re-
quired to produce this kind of an en-
