TILE E4RP,s RE1IrRN

Y. G. carp and family returned
Sunday evening from q tour OF east
ern and southern Idaho and the YeI-
lowstone Park.
Mr. carp is State representative
of the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks and visited ten first
and second class post offices in the
interest of that organization The
principal cities visited were, ST.
Anthony, Rexburg, Rigby, Idaho
Falls, Blackfoot, Pocatello, Rupert,
Burley, Twin Falls and Bull.
He reports the several branches in
a flourishing condition. Several new
members were added. They had a
wonderful time in the Park, and no
doubt it is q splendid place to spend
a vacation.
They were lucky in catching all the
fish they could eat.
More than a thousand tourists en-
ter the Park daily, coming from
every state in the Union II is
large and busy place. The geysers,
cascades, falls, hot springs, grand
canyon, wild animals, etc, are worth
going many miles to see The roads
most all the way are good. Some OF
the cities have good camp parks and
some very poor. American Falls has
the poorest and Boise the best in
the state. Payette's camp park is
certainly credit to our city and will
compare favorabIy with camp parks
in cities twice and three times as
large.

WHERE DID YOU
GET THAT STUFF?

The Payette Independent, while in
clined to charge a fair price for all
political announcements and other
advertising matter, seem prfectly
willing to come through with quite a
lot of free advertising for ]. NJ. Davis
candidate for County Commissioner
from the Second District. The last
two issues contain articles endeavor-
ing to detract from his nomination
and election, but so far have proven
like the stories on the Ford, Just
little free advertisement" which
was clearly shown by the count of the
votes of the primary election. The
article in the Independent accounts
for Mr.. Davis's big majority in the
Primary to his being Smooth Po-
litician" which is perhaps to some
extent true, he keeps his mouth
shut about the other party, and at
tends to his own business. The In
Independent also refers to Mr.. Davis
lOOsing by small majority in his
own precinct, but didn't mention the
fact that in the Willow Precinct
where Mr.. Davis owns property and
which has been his home precinct
most of the time during the past %
years, the votes stood I TO 3 in favcr |
of Mr.. Davis. The facts are, there
is but little need of any argument re-
garding Mr.. Davis's ability as a
County Commissioner or why he .
was nominated. the voters of Pay /
cite County know Mr.. Davis and /,
know him to be a conservative man /
on the Board, and has worked in
perfect harmony with MIR. Makinson
and Platt, the other members of the
Board, without a single negative vote
in all matters brought before them,
so why single out Nh. Davis as the
man to be defeated. The articles re-
fered to has the ear marks of some
little trifling personal matter on the
part of the writer, whether it be the
Editor or one of the Independent
readers.
The three members of the Board
Of County Commissioners, now can
iidates for reelection are conserya-
tive men who have given the people
Of Payette County satisfactory serv-
ice. Mr.. Platt has only been on the
Board of Payette County for few
but his experience as a
county Commissioner of Canyon ,
County for several terms when Pay
stte County comprised part of the {
Third District, is a valuable asset to
IFS ability to serve the people of Pay !,
,tte county at the present time. /
Ir. Makinson has been thoroughly $
ried out in serving two terms, and
las given the best of satisfaction.
The three men, Davis, Makinson =
nd Platt working in perfect har- p
nony should receive the strong sup I
,ort of the voters at the Next y
November election. !,

A FEW HIGH LIGHTS
OF THE DAIRY EXCURSION
BY an Interested Observer

Mr.. J. L. Kraft, the largest single
manufacturer of cheese in the world
stated that the consumption OF
cheese could be increased three mil
lion pounds per year, but that the
production could not be increased
very much in the east and that they
would have to look to the west for
the increase. Mr.. Kraft further said
that his company was ready to con-
tract for at least three million pounds
for the next five years at the present
prices.
One OF the parties from the east
was heard to remark: Il have been
in every important dairy country in
the world, but l have seen more first
class dairy feed today than l have
ever seen before in one day"
Mr.. J. H. FranksOn, formerly head
of the Dairy department of the Uni
yersity of Idaho, said: that what we
need in Idaho to make it one of the
greatest Dairy states was, people
who loved the dairy, who thought
dairy, talked dairy, and lived dairy,
that is what has made Wisconsin the
greatest Dairy state in the Union.
Mr.. Frankson is now Dairy Editor
for the Capper Press at Topeka,
Kansas, which publishes eight Farm
and Dairy papers with combined
circulation of over two million. He
still loves Idaho, watch for his write
up.
Frankly the trip was an education
for some of the natives.
Do you know how many real first
class dairy herds are in the Snake
river valley, we did not, there are
several.
one acre of corn will feed 45 head
of dairy cows for As days. c. H.
Sargent is proving this. He has one
plot of lust an acre of corn which
contains 45 rows, he feeds one row
per day to his As head of Jerseys
and that is all they need.
From six o'clock in the morning
when the party left home the Pay
cite men rode just 1S4 mills arriving
home from Parma about midnight.
If the eastern men were go spend
a week in Idaho, eat as much dairy
Droducts every day as they did in
this section there is liable to be
shortage of fee cream, etc.
The Farmers Cooperative Cream
cry came in for a good share of ad-l
yertising and compliments. Their
butter graced the breakfast table at
Weiser and their ice cream was in
evidence nearly every place where
the party stopped.
About so men from Payette, On
tario Weiser, accompanied the party
which rode in about 10 of the finest
cars which the country affords.
Talk about eats, Weiser served a
breakfast which was really enough
for all day, then the Institute furn-
ished ice cold milk, c. H. Sargent had
n feast of spring chicken and all the
trimmings ready. The Farmers
Creamery served ice cream and canta-
innnes. ontario had ice cream and
strawberries and the final was regu-
lar banquet served by the Parma
business men. Payette's representa-
tiyes did not need any lunch when
they got home.

FRANK BIGGER HERE TUESDAY

few mortgages, get the point. 1t is

The dairy COW has proven to be
the best little mortgage litter in the
world.
w. A. Coughanour went along to
keep the rest of the party from get
ting dusty, that is he tried to gather
all there was himself.
Without doubt great deal of
credit for arranging the big event
belongs to Governor Davis. He was
right on the job and accompanied the
party all day.
J. r. Brown and B. r. Fitch had
the trip worked out to the minute,
and they made it point to see that
they were ont time at every stop. Mr..
Brown had logged the entire trip and
every thing was timed to the mile
and the minute.
The Observer believes that every
man who accompanied the party is
a booster for the dairy industry.
1t looks like the banks were inter-
ested in the Dairy, there were about
eight bankers in the crowd from
Payette, Ontario, and Wieser. They
might loan little money for cows,
who knows?
