Opposed to BRAND in physique anC

A fitting fellow, physically and in
temperament to Balfour is Ambassa-
dor Geddes of Great Britain.
Geddes, like Balfour, stands well
over six feet. He has a long, heavy,
pugnacious jaw of the real bulldog
Britain type and bulldog tenacity in
a diplomatic battle. Lord Lee is a
slight, delicately featured man.

was Ineffective is a further reason

4 CLOSE CALL

We have heard of close calls. and

last Saturday evening while on their
way home from New Plymouth. has
anything beat we have ever heard Of
Mr.. ShellwOrth and Jefferis had just
left the Vet Relyea place three
miles east of New Plymouth where
they were doing some plumbing
work just as a thunder storm was
approaching. and had gone but
short distance when a bolt of light
ming passed a few feet in front Of the
radiator not more than four feet
from the ground. crashed into a
large dead tree cutting it loose from
the ground which fell across the
truck bringing it to a sudden stop.
Had the shot beentimed one second
later. it is quite likely both occu-
pants of the truck would have been
killed The fall of the tree. did con-
siderable damage to the top of the
truck

PROGRESS At

The Idaho Oil & Gas Co. we'll has
now reached a depth of about $50
feet and careful work is being done
in cutting off the water and getting
the big casing properly set on the
shale beds so that from now on much
faster progress should be made.
The Company has adopted the
policy of letting any one visit the
well at any time it is running during
working hours and many are taking
OF the opportunity TO see
how a real oil we'll is drilled. Visit
ors welcome at the well but are re-
quested not 10 take up the time of
the driller by asking questions. Of
Ticers of the Company will be pleased
to take any one to the well if they
will leave word at the office. and
they will be glad TO explain what
each OF the drilling tools are and
how it is used. Some pockets of gas
have already been encountered
which are probably seeps from the
main strata which the drills may
strike at a depth of about 700 feet
Just how long it will take to reach
This main gas strata is difficult to
estimate at this time. The drills
might penetrate 100 feet in a day
and make little progress next day
while casing is being set or tools
3harpened, but the work is being
pushed as fast and as thoroughly as
conditions permit.

PAYETTE MILLS DOING
GOOD BUSINESS

Not only the City of Payette, but
the entire community can well be
proud OF this institution as it is now
operated under its present manage
ment. 1t is one OF our biggest as
sets. furnishing a ready cash market
for all kinds OF cerial crops.
The increased demand for the spe-
cial brands of the Payette Mills flour
has reached operations far in excess
of the manufacturers expectations.
They have orders on file for cars
or 1890 barrel. representing close to
half a million pounds of wheat. Be-
fore the last of 1921 the mill will
grind over 5000 barrel OF their spe-
cial brand OF flour.
There is also an increased demand
for their Germ Meal and other ce-
reals which goes to prove that the
Payette Mills products are forging
to the front.
Mr.. Davis says the credit for the
increase in sales is due to the head
miller. Mr.. Chas. Lintner. as he is
milling the flour and the quality
sells it, The Mill Co. considers it
self fortunate in getting a miller
with 25 years experience in milling
flour and mill-wright WORK.
They are not taking a back seat
for any other flour on the market
today. They know that they have
everything that goes towards max
ing flour that the housewives and
bakerys require for good whole
some bread.
