MIDDLETON MAN RETURNS
AFTER YEAR IN OREGON
Glad to Get Back to Country of Sun
shine and Irrigation.
W. F. Gibbons has just returned to
Caldwell and will make his future
home here. He will purchase land in
the Deer Flat section and settle down.
Mr. and Mrs. Gibbons are very glad
to get back to Idaho. This state of
sunshine and irrigation appeals to Mr.
Gibbons as it never did before.
Mr. Gibbons lived at Middleton for
a number of years. A year ago he
moved to Hillsboro, Oregon, 20 miles
beyond Portland. He states that
while land at Hillsboro is valued at
from $300.00 to $700.(XI per acre they
cannot raise the crops there that are
an annual occurrance in the Boise val
ley. Fifty to sixty bushels of pota
toes to the acre are a big yield in
western Oregon. He stated that this
year they had not had any- rain for
90 days.' There is no work and con
ditions generally are bad. The big
crops in the Boise Valley were very
pleasing to him.
PROGRESS OF RECLAMATION
WORK DURING JULY
Reclamation Record Gives Operation
and Maintenance of Boise Project.
The Reclamation Record is at
hand. The monthly progress, opera
tion and mantenance on the Boise
Project, for July is given as follows:
The grain crop is practically har
vested and excellent yields are report
ed. The second cutting of alfalfa hay
is nearly all in the stack, with a good
yield. But little new hay has been
sold, the price ranging from $5 to $6
in the stack. The water supply for
the season has been unusually low,
but owing to the storage in Arrowrock
and Deer Flat reservoirs the project
lias a plentiful supply and some to
seir^ to the older irrigation districts,
which is being supplied under tem
porary contracts.
The status of Arrowrock and Deer
Flat reservoirs and of the main canal
for the month is as follows:
Arrowrock Reservoir: acre-ft.
July 1 151,966
July 31 92,294
Deer Flat Reservoir:
July 1 £5,314
July 31 65,835
Main Canal: second-ft.
July 1 1,490
July 1—31 (mean flow) .. 1,254
July 1—31 (bean flow) 1,254
Water was delivered through the
canal system continuously through
out the month. One small break oc^
curred near the end of the month in
the Mora Canal, but interrupted the
service only a few hours.
Distribution Unit.
The distribution unit is 88 per cent
completed. There was practically no
construction work done during July,
except a few small structures instal
led and a little earth work on the lat
eral system, and the installation of
two small waste ways. Work on the
Pioneer irrigation district drainage
was held up pending the approval of
the Secretary of tile Interior.
The farm unit surveys were prac
tically completed at the end of the
month, and platting progressed satis
factorily.
Idaho, Boise Project, Arrowrock 97
per cent Completed.
Weather conditions were good and
labor conditions were fair during July.
The dam itself was practically fin
ished. The excavation for the log con
veyor was approaching completion,
form work and the placing of rein
forcing steel was under way. The in
stallation of the lighting system on
top of the dam Was started.
On the spillway the lining of the
discharge trench was nearly finished
and the weir was about 80 per cent
completed. Two units of the movable
crest gates were received and installa
tion started.
The available storage in the reser
voir at the end of the month was 92,
294 acre-feet. The natural flow of the
river on July 31 was only about 850
second-feet—approximately 100 sec
ond feet higher than the lowest re
cord for that date.
District Court Filings.
District court filings on Saturday
ncluded a suit by J. A. Dement vs.
John L. Hollingshead, et al., to quiet
title to a piece of property in this
city.
The only other action started was
that the First National Bank of
Nam pa against James E. Hart, F.l
mira Hart, E. Smallwood as receiver
of the Bank of Nanipa, and Alexander
Bills. The bank seeks to foreclose
on a mortgage held against the Harts
for $2285.49. The other parties aie
included in the title by reason of
their having claims against the first
named defendants.
Wants Reconciliation.
Mrs. Margaret Trayner of Nanipa
appeared before Probate Judge Meek
Saturday morning at the instance of
County Prosecutor Griffiths. Mr.
Trayner, who is now engaged in min
ing in Lemhi county, had requested
the authorities to take their 2-year-old
daughter from the wife and leave it
temporarily in charge of Nanipa
friends. When she faced the judge
Mrs. Trayner seemed repentant and
expressed a desire to be reconciled to
her husband and go to him. Whether
or not the reconciliation can be effect
ed remains to be seen.
Drops of Water.
Little drops of water
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.
And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.
Little deeds of mercy
Sown by youthful hands.
Grow to bless the nations.
Far in heathen lands.
Little deeds of kindness.
Little words of love.
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heavens above.
In giving Little Willie a present
you can greatly facilitate matters by
also giving him a hammer with which
CROPS ARE SPLENDID
AT PARMA SAYS EDITOR
O .J. Dickinson Enthusiastic Over
Outlook and Shipments.
O. J. Dickinson, editor of the Par
ma Review, was in the city for a few
hours Monday. Mr. Dickinson says
that crops are heavier than ever this
year. There have been several yields
of wheat running 65 bushels to the
acre; one of over a hundred; and the
corn crop is great. A number of corn
liehls will run to 100 bushels of shel
led corn to the acre.
"From September 1, 1914, to Sep
tember 1, 1915, we shipped 1 22 ear
loads of hogs," said Mr. Dickinson.
"This was an increase of 20 ears over
the year before. Our shipments of
prunes this year are 30 cars and the
price w ill he in the neighborhood of
$500.00 per car. We have shipped 10
cars of red clover seed at 15 cents per
pound. Tile honey yield was extra
good. In fact crops of all kind are
above the average and the price is ex
ceptionally strong on everything.
"Our farmers will be unusually pros
perous this year. Business generally
is good and getting better."
W. C. T. U. CONVENTION
WAS NOT WELL ATTENDED
Mrs. Hawkes Unanimously Re-elected
County President of Union.
The attendance at the coutitv con
vention of the W. C. T. IT. which was
held at Middleton Friday was not as
great as expected. There were pres
ent delegates from Caldwell, Payette,
Middleton and one or two of the
county unions. The meetings were
held in the Methodist church. The
program published in last week's
Tribune was closely followed. Mrs.
W. S. Hawkes president at the meet
ings.
At noon dinner was served hv the
local white ribboners to the visitors.
Following an executive session at
1:30, Mrs. A. H. Howard conducted de
votionals. Reports of the various su
perintendents were heard. State
President Mrs. Nettie R. Cliipp then
addressed the convention. The elec
tion of officers followed. Mrs
Hawkes was unanimously re-elected
county president. The other officers
include Mrs. Doherty of Pleasant
Ridge, recording secretary: Mrs
Cross of Payette, corresponding sec
retary; Mrs. Price of Parma, treas
urer. Selection of the superintendent!
will be made later.
Rev. I.. A. Garrison conducted the
devotionals at the opening of the
evening session. Music by groups of
young people from Middleton and
Marble Front was enjoyed. Superin
tendent Cunimings of the local school
spoke briefly. The more important
feature of the evening session was
furnished by Clara Gish Work, of
Boise, who gave a pleasing program
of readings.
BOISE BRIDGE IN BAD STATE.
Commissioners in Favor of New,
Double Track Structure After
Inspection.
Carl Oeisler of Payette, C. Q. Adam-,
of Caldwell and Ben Ross, who form
the board of Canyon county commis
sioners, inspected the Boise river
bridge Friday and found it in such
poor condition that it will probably
be condemned. The bridge, which is
14 feet, single track crossing, 667 feet
long, built in 1894, is subject to heavy
traffic. During the forty minutes the
commissioners spent in inspection, 25
teams and autos crossed the bridge
and although it has been repaired
within the past two weeks and will be
kept in as safe condition as possible
traction engines and threshing mach
ine outfits will not be allowed its use
in future. The commissioners, who
are heartily in favor of a new bridge
state that the only obstacle to its con
struction is the low condition of the
county finances, but if this difficulty
can be overcome the bridge will be
built.
To accommodate the traffic, the new
bridge should be a 20-foot, double
track structure, and if put straight
across from the road running past the
Parma Milling & Elevator company
would be only 320 feet as opposed to
the 667 foot length of the old one.—
l'arma Review.
COST OF RIGHT LIVING LOW
Luxuries and False Appetites Make
High Cost of Living.
The monthly health letter of the
I.ife Extension Institute gives much
sound advice on what we should eat
nid what we should spend in orde
be well nourished but not pamper
It maintains that the cost
the real necessities of life has not
increased to a point that should cause
hardship, privation or undernutrition
even among small wage-earners. For
instance, air, the first requirement o
"ife, costs nothing.
"Food, the next requirement of life
costs little, if what the body really
needs is considered. 10.6 cents a day
will provide plain, simple, palatable
food (hot pork and beans, or its
juivalent, bread and butter, milk
id coffee, and the fuel to cook it),
sufficient to nourish a person of aver
age weight and activity. When the
cost of food prepared iu the home
rises above 50 cents per day per in
dividual, there is certainly either
waste or luxury.
"The greatest satisfaction in eat
ing is provided by sound health and a
natural appetite, not by the titilla
tion of the palate of the gastronome,
who passes from one indulgence to
another until appetite, digestion and
health are mere memories.
"Within reasonable limits, food
should be prepared and served in an
appetizing way. But it is more im
portant to create appetite by bodily
conditions than by food conditions.
"To a healthy, hungry man, noth
ing can taste better than plain bread
and butter and milk. The trouble
with most people is that they are
overfed rather than underfed."

KARTFNBOWER BROS. TOSS
UP MIDDLETON CONTRACT
Clash With Supervising Engineer
Over Plans and Specifications.
Mr H
Bros.,
city, who were awarded the contract
for installing a heating plant in the
Middleton school house threw up the
contract Friday last. Mr. R. B. Hart
enhower states that the engineer in
charge insisted upon a plan for the
heating plant which he knew wouldn't
than do the work
rtenbower threw up the
mtract. C. J. Franklin of Boise was
the engineer. The contract was later
warded to Acme Plumbing & Heat
ing Company, who were the second
low est bidders on the job.
Mr. Ilartcnbower says: "I wanted
give the trustees a first class job.
I wanted to be sure that the heating
ant would do the heating necessary.
When Mr. Franklin insisted upon a
method of installation that I knew
be impractical there was nothing
to do but permit somebody else to do
o work. I cannot afford to bungle
heating plant."

HOW TO GET SICK.
Simple Rules Guaranteed to Keep
Strong Man or Woman Sick.
Here are a few simple, certain,
lead-easy ways of getting sick. They
are guaranteed to produce results or
get your money back. If you
don't believe it, try them once.
By hurrying through your meals
d gulping down a lot of poorly
cooked, unchewed "brick bats and
mortar" by way of soggy biscuits and
fat meat that would defy a goat's
stomach.
By never smiling at meals but by
wearing a grouch and trying to make
the rest of the family miserable.
By over eating and under exercis
ing, by constipation, intemperance
mil excesses, by everlastingly hurry
ing, worrying, fretting, stewing and
straining to keep up appearances.
By sleeping with the windows all
closed and by staying in doors all the
time.
By drawing more out of your phy
sical and nervous bank account every
day than you restore.
By always reading medical books,
medical ads., and trying to diagnose
your own case, especially if you didn't
have any case to start with.
By taking every old medicine re
commended by your friends and
neighbors.
By telling everybody else how badly
you feel and trying outpoint them
in their petty ailments.
By enjoying poor health—yes, just
that. There are a few people one
occassionally meets who really enjoy
poor health. They feel badly when
they feel good because they are just
sure they are going to feel worse
afterward. Are you one of them?
Individuals and Typhoid.
"When a person dies from typhoid
fever these days it seems to me it's
more or less a plain case of suicide,"
said a citizen recently. "Especially
so," he continued, "in the face of all
this anti-typhoid treatment that is
being put before the people. I can't
see why every person in the state
doesn't avail himself of this oppor
tunity to become immune to typhoid
fever even though it hasn't been of
fered to every citizen free of charge.
The state is doing all it can to get
it to all the people practically with
out cost, but that's not the trouble.
The people won't take it, free or not
free.
"Of course, I don't mean that when
a person dies from typhoid that he
prefers death to life, but that he is
responsible to the extent of his ne
glect or his indifference and ignor
ance. There may also be a commu
nity responsibility in that insanitary
conditions were allowed to exist as
the source of fever, but when such- a
preventative as this vaccine is put up
to individuals, I do say they are to
a great extent responsible when they
come down with fever."—(N. C. Bd.
of 11.)
LUCK!
Luck must be a woman—because it
is fickle. Luck continues to knock at
the door after Opportunity has pass
ed on. Luck is the difference between
success and failure. Luck is unjust,
because the lucky man does not al
ways deserve his luck. Luck is a
gambler, Luck is a false friend, be
cause it will desert its most favored
ones. Luck is a myth. It may appear
to favor individuals, but the armies
which fight hardest are most apt to
win. Luck is the coquette who leads
men to despair. In only one thing is
luck faithful—it is always on the side
of those who are the steadiest work
ers.
NO BRYAN -PEACE WANTED
(From the Baltimore Sun.)
The Bryan idea in its latest exposi
tion seems to be that we should hesi
tate, vacillate, dodge, hedge—do any
thing in the way of shirking and avoid
ing rather than face responsibility with
courage and straightforward determin
ation. No individual and no nation
ever avoided trouble by trying to run
away from it. Peace we all want, but
not the kind of peace that means dodg
ing around the corner or crawling into
hole.
"Here's a sandwich for you. But
don 't you feel humiliated at living off
the hospitality of others "
"Sometimes, mum. Still, I'd rather
do this than get me living by goinfç to
afternoon teas."—Louisville Courier
Journal.
Sim Heckle always refers to Hal
