TWO CHICKEN
THIEVES ARRESTED

Sheriff Jefferis gives out rather an
interesting account of locating and
arresting presumably a pair Of
chicken thieves together with the
chickens but no owner of the birds.
The two young men who gave their
names as Smith, living four miles
east of Fruitland and are about 19
and 81 years of age appeared last
Tuesday morning at the store of Mr..
Creasey OF New Plymouth, with a
coop of chickens before the store
was opened, Mr. Greasy soon ar
rived and bought the birds, but being
somewhat suspicious notified the
Sheriff who Immediately arrived and
placed the young men under arrest
and after closely questioning the
young men and receiving contridic-
tory answers found their home to
be near Ontario on the Oregon side,
and that their names were not Smith.
Further investigation proved the
chickens were not taken from their
home II is the supposition that the
chickens were stolen just a few at
place during the night, as they were
different breeds. As there were no
positive evidence and no one to file
complaint the young men were
turned loose.

BANCROFT CHANGES
OWNERSHIP

In an interview with Mr.. Il. A.
Van Sicklin, who for some time mas
been principal owner OF the Hotel
bancroft. we are informed through
a recent transaction has sold his en-
tire interest in the property to Mr..
Kellogg. the present proprietor.
While the change in ownership VIII
not make any material change in the
nagement, it will perhaps mean
the permanency OF Mr.. Kellogg as a
citizen of Payette and proprietor OF
one of Payette's most important IN
stitutions. Mr.. Van Sicklin, in dis
posing of his interest in the property,
states it is not in any way because OF
any i'll feeling toward the people of
Payette, and expressed himself as
still deeply interested in the well
fare of Payette and particularly in
terested in the continued success of
Mr.. Kellogg in the hotel business.
He further states, he is member OF
the Payette Chamber of Commerce
and expects to continue as member.
Since Mr.. Kellogg took over the
management OF the Bancroft some
three years ago, Payette has had the
reputation of having the best con-
Quoted hotel in this part OF the state.
His success as a hotel keeper is not
due to strict economy. 1t might be
Interesting to know that at the pre-
sent time the Bancroft Hotel has
the largest payroll of any institution
in Payette, employing seventeen
people all receiving good wages, and
from money practically all brought
in from outside and spent in Pay
ette. Mr.. Kellogg has spared no ex-
pense in his endeavors to give the
best of service to his patrons. Be-
sides being a strong advocate of
street paving and other city i'm
provements Mr.. Kellogg is among
Payette's heavy taxpayers and par
ticularIy so as municipal taxpayer.
In making comparisons we find the
Bancroft is heavier taxed for gen
eral expense than any other hotel
along the line in proportion to its
capacity. which in a measure &C,
counts for Mr.. KellOgg's success in
giving satisfaction to his patrons
and the public in general. The
Hotel Bancroft is one of Payette's
best assets and should received the
moral and financial support of the
people.

POSSIBILITY Of
MUSIC LEADER
A Proposition

There is no nobler mission in the
world than to bring beauty and hap
piness into the homes of the people
through the culture of good music,
and to teach them to express their
deepest feelings in the language of
song. With our youths and maidens
trained to understand, appreciate
and love good music we should
rapidly approach the time when all
our homes would be homes of re
finement, love and happiness. Life
with music is infinitely richer than
life without music. The community,
therefore, including all OF its or
ganizations, should be interested in
making music part of the life of
the individual, the home, the school
and the community. The fact that
the Public Schools find themselves
financially unable to continue the
position Of Supervisor of Music next
year does not constitute a sufficient
reason for allowing music appre-
citation TO die out in the community.
l am proposing, therefore, that in
stead of the usual winter Lyceum
Course next year we organize local
entertainment course, the High
School furnishing one or Two first
class plays and an opeTctJ the
Grade Schools furnishing one enter
tainment; the Portia Club arrang-
ing for one number, a play or any
other form of entertainment they
may choose; the Womens' Business
and Professional Club giving one
number of the course; the Choral
I, Ea
Chamber of Commerce working up a
first class Minstrel Show, or good
clean vaudeville, and possibly other
organizations would add TO the
winters course of entertainment
The seating capacity of the High
School Auditorium is nearly 500.
With all local organizations inter
ested and cooperating it could BE-
filled to capacity at so cent admis-
sions or season ticket :, ductions,
and | venture the assertion that
everybody would be as VIII pleased
as If we were having foreign talent
From $500 to $4,000 could be
realized and nobody would miss his
With this amount
musician could be employed capable
of directing public school music, di-
recting a community band, orchestra
and choral club, o<ga nizing and aid
ing church choirs and adding i'm
mensely to the musical life OF the
Think about it. Later each Or
ganization will be asked to appoint
representatives on a general COM
mittee TO give serious consideration
to this proposition. II CAN BE
DONE and the community would
thus be serving its own best and
highest interests. We could dc
finer for ourselves.

HAVING HIS SHARE OF TROUBLE

ago suffered painful injuries from
being run over by an auto and a
few days later lost his house by fire
has received additional affliction in
the loss of his beloved wife whose
obituary appears below.
Mrs. Dorotha Knudsen was born
in Norway in 1859 and came to
America in 1852 making her home
in Racine, Wis. In 1894 she moved
to Colorado Springs and 1903 to
Nampa, Idaho, where she had charge
of the Shore Hotel for time. After
a return TO Racine, she went to

DICkLOW WHEAT
FOR THE IRRIGATED
SECTIONS OIl IDAHO

Spring seeding time will soon be
here and it is well to economize early
in the season. Decide what is to be
planted and order the seed early.
Planting of clean seed adapted to the
section will mean increased Yields
and more money TO the farmer at
harvest time.
The variety OF wheat recommend
ed for spring planting on the irri-
gated farms of southern Idaho is
Dicklow. This is a high-yielding,
soft white wheat which has proved
its worth. Experiments conducted
on the Aberdeen Experiment Station
at Aberdeen. over a period of five
years showed DickIow to outyield
other varieties 81 bushels per acre.
In the counties where this wheat has
been grown an incraese of from to
3S bushels has been recorded.
When buying wheat don't buy
merely Dicklow wheat but buy GER
titled Dicklow. Certified seed bears
mark OF quality. It has been Sc
lected from large acreage in Idaho
as a superior product Certified
seed has been field inspected, sample
inspected and found to be s9St pure,
free from Goxious weeds (within the
term freel and of comparatively
plump, bright color.
The initial cost of certified seed
is higher than the ordinary seed
which has no guarantee as to its
purity. Many growers hesitate to
buy well cleaned, certified seed be-
cause of the additional price per
bushel. But if each grower would
look ahead to the time of harvest,
there would be no question as to
which seed would be the most pro-
fitable. Suppose any common run
of ordinary good wheat seed wheat
can be obtained for &c a pound. 80
pounds of seed to the acre would
cost S1.S0. Suppose certified seed
could be obtained for &c per pound.
1t would cost, planting 90 lbs. to
the acre, S2.70 Planting certified
seed would cost soc more per acre.
II the increase were only one bushel
the price of the seed would be more
than paid for and there would be
no cut at the mill for mixtures.
The increase is usually 5 10 10
bushels. Consequently the grower
would receive several hundred per
cent return on his investment by
certified seed.
Information concerning certified
seed can be obtained from any coun-
ty agent or the State Seed Comuis-
sioner, Boise, Idaho.

ing Plans for further increasing
the efficiency of the department
were discussed. The Mayor and
members of the Council commended
the department on their excellent
organization. The Council voted TO
exchange the large truck recently
got from the Department of Public
Works, for a three-quarter ton G.
N. c. which would be suitable for a
fire truck. The present equipment
can be mounted on this larger truck
until the smaller can be disposed Of
which will likely sell for enough to
equip the new one, thus causing no

NARROWLY
ESCAPE DROWNING

Floyd Rose and John Montgomery,
of Dead Ok Fiat, narrowly escaped
drowning in the Snake River last
Sunday afternoon. Mr.. Rose and
Montgomery in company with James
Rowe and another man went to the
bank of the Snake river about mile
north of the wagon bridge near the
cemetery with three head of young
cattle to cross the channel to the
Slinker Island The cattle were
tied to the rear end of a wagon and
the two men started across at the
usual fording place on a rifle, the
water being somewhat deeper than
usual, the animals we're unable to
wade and we're drifted down the
swift current taking the wagon,
team and all in the deep water, when
the horses were unable to hold the
bottom, started to swim down
stream. IN the excitement Mr.
Montgomery fell into the water but
with the assistance of Rose managed
to get back into the wagon. The
horses managed 10 reach the bank
some distance below under a clump
of willows but were unable to get
out One OF the calves was drowned
but the others were released and
swan to shore, the ropes being sew
cred by means of pounding it over
the wagon tire with a chunk of coal
found in the wagon box Mr.. Rowe
brought the news 10 town, where a
boat was secured and with the as
sistance Of Y. R. Williams who
crossed the river in the boat the men
were brought to safety, but badly
chilled from the long exposure in
the cold water. The team was also
brought to the Oregon side by Mr..
Williams
