BURLEY CHEESE FACTORY
MAKING A GREAT RECORD

1t is gratifying to learn that the
farmers have found one article to
produce that brings in ready cash,
and also that they don't have to wait
a whole year for payday. OF
course there is plenty of work and
close attention demanded, but who
makes anything nowadays that don't
work? We refer to the cheese fac
tory that started July 1. The sue
cess of the undertaking has been
ahead of what was first expected
Starting off with $500 pounds of
milk the receipts are now over 5000
pounds daily. Three trucks are haul
ing the milk, besides that brought
in by some farmers. An extra amount
of cans have been brought to accom-
modate the trade and in short time
another vat will be placed in the fac
tory. A large amount of cheese is be
ing made and shipped to San Fran
cisco with the product of the other
factories of this section. -Burley

of privately owned public utilities,
the Washington State Weekly, asks:
Did the politicians, the municip-

have a hand in the development of
lamps or lighting methods and ap-
pliances? If so, what one?"

Man. in Hospital

In another auto accident on the
Moun tain Home-Glenns Ferry
stretch of the highway last Satur-
day, one man was injured severely
and another received a badly cut
lip and lost a tooth.
A petty officer in the United

toned at Omaha, together with his
wife, was enjoying his furlough by
means of an auto trip in Ford car,
and had reached the immediate
vicinity of Slade when a REQ car,
said to have been driven at speed
exceeding forty miles per hour, came
along the highway going south.
Thompson pulled his car over to the
side of the road as far as possible,
but was unable to avoid the REQ,
which struck the Ford almost head
on. The larger car received the
worst of the encounter, being almost
demolished, although the Ford was
damaged to the extent of about 800.
The driver of the REQ was cut and
bruised severely, and was removed
to the Harley house for repairs,
where he is at the present time.
Mr.. Thompson received a cut
across one cheek from his mouth
which necessitated several stitches,
and one tooth was knocked out. Mrs.
Thompson was practically unhurt,
her arms being slightly strained.
The other occupant of the REQ
car was uninjured.
Mr.. Thompson, feeling that he was
entirely without blame for the acci-
dent, at once took steps to see if he
could obtain compensation for his
damages. General Utter interested
himself in the matter and the owner
Of the REQ finally agreed to turn
over the car to Thompson as pay
nent. In the meantime, however, /
petty thieves had removed the bat
-ery and tires from the REQ, and
he sum obtained from it's sale was
,ut $40.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson were able
o proceed on their way Tuesday, af-
er the Ford Garage had patched up
heir vehicle.
