efficient leader, Rev. Vernon Hall,
are this week enjoying their annual
camping trip on Little Weiser river.
where the fishing is good. Through
the kindness OF Mayor Woodward, E.
c. s. Brainard and H. o. Musgrove.
the boys and their camp equipment
were taken up Saturday morning and
they will enjoy real scout life for a
week. To be a boy scout means
more than. just to have a good time.
OF course, they have plenty Of fun
on their trips and at home as we'll,
but they are taught the things they
should know when they become men.
many things that are sadly lacking
in some men of the present day,
both from the standpoint of useful
ness, manners and good American
ism. We hope the boys will enjoy ey-
cry minute Of their cutting and bring
home good fish story.

VICTIM OF TWO
GAR ACCIDENTS

ABE Pence, IL year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs A. L. Pence, must
have been born lucky or made Of
rubber, for he is still all in one
piece, sound as a bullet, without a
scratch, after participating in two
auto accidents, staying with both
cars to destruction at the bottom the
grade ABE who had been camp
ing with his grandfather. A. F. Tay-
lor, at or near the Payette lakes, got
in a car with Thomas Weir and 9TH
er parties from FruitIand who were
going up Goose creek, branch from
the main road, that leads to the hot
springs, which is very narrow and
steep in places. In shifting from
high into intermediate, Mr.. Weir
who was driving the car, threw the
gears into reverse when the car i'm
mediately backed off the grade and
down the embankment some distance
to the creek bottom. The car was
completely demolished, but Abe,
who stayed with the wreck, landed
uninjured. The other occupants of
the car were also fortunate in c.
Gaping without serious injuries, Abe
who seems to be the most fortunate
in the party, remained during the
night to guard the wreck, and the
following day he and Mr.. Taylor.
who is 79 years of age, started for
Payette in a Ford and when within
25 miles of Weiser the car left the
grade in making a sharp turn and
rolled down the embankment turn
| ing over several times and lsndi23
bottom side up, piRning bo.t cccU
pants to the ground, where they were
| compelled to remain some 20 or 80
minutes, until their cries for help
! were heard by a Mr. A E. Ashley of
Boise who was passing by with his
family, and came to their relief 1t
was a miraculous escape for Mr..
Taylor and the boy. who were mel
lther seriously injured Mr. Taylor
received a bad cut on tne Yoren cad
and several bruises, but ABE" who
had become a little more aecus-
toned to riding bucking automo-
bile down hillside, escaped unil-
iured.
The car, which was badly dam
aged, was taken to Weiser by a far
mer living near By. Mr.. Taylor, who
! now lives in Boise, is one of the pio
neers of the Payette valley and well
known to the early settlers of Pay
ette.

MAY GET CHEAPER WATER

Mr.. Van Petten of Ontario, who
has spent the greater part Of his time
for several months in sn endeavor
to bring about the construction OF
the owyhee irrigation project, gives
cut the Information that he is now
confident the plant will be construc-
ted and that the cost to land own
ers will not exceed $3.50 per year an
acre. Should this be true and the
project completed. it will greatly in
crease land values of the Payette-
Oregon slope and all lands under the

SWEET CORN LOOKING GOOD

J. B. Trevy, field man for Idaho
Canning Co., reported at the com
pany's office this week with some
very encouraging samples of corn.
In order to obtain best results in the
corn industry the company has ex-
perimented on several new varieties
some Of which were among the sam
pies brought into the office by
Mr.. Trevy. previous years, yell
low Bantam and Evergreen have
been the varieties put up by the To-
cal plant, but from Mr. Trevy's re-
port and the samples brought in, it
is believed that at least two varie-
ties Bantam Evergreen" and the
Portland Market"-will be more
profitable to the grower, as both va
rieties show a heavy yield of both
corn and fodder. Mr.. Trevy states
that. in his opinion, a number OF
fields will produce four to five tons
per acre from the first picking, and
ten to fifteen tons of ensilage which
would mean value of 500 to $125
per acre. He also says the crop in
general is exceptionally good.
The company is at the present
time erecting three new silos, one
with a capacity OF 300 tons and two
with a capacity of $50 tons each.
which with the two already built,
will give total capacity of 1900
tons. By the middle of next week the
crew will be working overtime on
the corn coming in.

Report of Commissioners of Ac-
counts

To the Hon. John c. Ashley, Judge of
the 18th Judicial District:
We the Commissioners of Accounts
for Randolph County, beg leave to sub
NIT the following report of our work
as such Commissioners:
We have carefully gone over the ac-
counts for those liable to account for
the public funds for the past year.
We have examined the settlements Of
J. A. White, County Treasurer: W. ii.
Phipps, County Clerk and Ben +. Mays
Circuit Clerk. and what few clerical
errors found have been corrected. We
have also gone over the settlements Of
X. II. Gullett, Sheriff and Collector,
in SO far as they have been approved
by the County Judge, and find all
moneys collected by him TO have been
properly accounted for.
We have carefully checked all war
rants issued with the County Court
Record and find all warrants issued
as thereby authorized.
We also compared the cancelled war
rants received as receipts from all
sources for the year 1922 with the Re
cord of Redemption and find them all
properly entered therein upon page AZ
to 10 inclusive and to the amount of
S35960.3I Road Warrants and $780,
604.31 other warrants. These war
rants had not been previously checked
by us, from the fact that at the time we
made out accounting last year they
had not been recorded.
We have not checked this years
cancelled warrants as the settlements
have again been delayed and are not
recorded. We have examined the ac-
counts of our Constable, J. G. SlaytOn,
and find his accounts correct. 1t
seems we have but one Constable.
We have called upon the lncOrpOr-
ated Town of POcahontas for an ac-
counting Of the road funds received by
il for use upon the roads and streets.
We wish to offer as excuse for the
unusual length of time we were in
making our accounting, the disOrdered
condition in which the special Audi
tors left the various settlements and
warrants, entailing upon us the extra
work of re-arranging the settlements
and warrants before we could proceed
with our work
