THE OAKLEY FA OLE OAKLEY, CASSIA COUNTY, IDAHO. THURSDAY, NOV. 9. 1905. NUMBER 31 VOLUME 9. ONE A Dollar-and a Half I'hilun Jthropist. We had a pleasant (?) call Saturday Inst from one of our subscribers who came in to pay his subscription and to tell us, incidentally, that he did not see why Oakley could not have a good paper like other places and that he only subscribed to help the thing along, as the town would be dead without a print ing press; that he never looked at the paper and that it never contained any news and he only knew of its existence by the sub scription notices that came to him regularly etc. etc. ed the gentlemen his subscrip tion money but he was too gen hearted to take it. Now, will just have a little news in this paper for this gentleman's benefit. Here it is:—if he will on We offer erous we but subscribe for a few country and read them, lie will papers find that "The Oakley Eagle" is just as good as the'most of them and a whole lot better than Secondly; if he some of them, will take pains to look into con ditions that surround a country press lie will find that all the papers are just as good as they ■ssibly be made under the Country editors are not angels, but they about as near putting all they and the best efforts of can pi Circumstances. come can earn their lives to make their business a success—a public beneficiary, as any class of people we know, or heard about.

Nearly every business man in this town is supporting the paper. We have word from one or two others that they are pleased with what the paper is doing and that they expect to come in and help the good work along. The foresaid subscribers one of the wealthiest business men of the town, but you will not see his name in our ad vertising columns. We have never asked him to use an inch space and we never will. We do not care to advertise liis business, but we do not want him to come in our office and in sult us in the offering of a measly —dollar and a half for a year's subscription.

We say it, too, for the benefit of any other like subscriber if there be such a one,—which may heaven grant there is not, and also to opportunity the to open thank our hundreds of other subscribers for the kind words and encouragement they have given us—and to thank especially our business people whose an nouncement^ are given from week to week in these columns. Their success is oor success and the success of all is the success and growth of the town, have the people, we have the country, we have all the requi We sites, to make a good paper and we are going to make it. Begin ning Dec. 1st. the "Eagle" is to be a regular six page instead of an occasionally six page and we shall improve it in other ways as fast as we can. It is not as good as the Burley' Bulletin and does not profess to be. It has not the money beck of it. Its money that makes the newspa per go, but a dollar and a half won't give it much momentum. Cassia Stake Academy. Instead of there being 100 students at Cassia Stake Acad emy today'there should he at least 400. there would he more students to day if the people of Oak ley would offer some encouragement, gentleman said the other day that he was sending his children to Logan to school, because it is cheaper. He says board there We are confident A EIRST THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. By flic President of the Whereas, It is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey his Will, to be grateful for his Benefit, and humbly to im plore his Protection and Favour: And whereas both houses of Congress hâve, by their joint Committee, requested me "To recommend to the People of the a Day of UNITED STATES, PUBLIC THANKSGIVING and PRAYER, to be observed by ac knowledging with greateful Hearts the many Signal Favours of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peacefully to establish a Form of Government for their Safety and Happiness." Now, THEREFORE, I do rec ommend and assign THURS DAY the Twenty-Sixth Day of November next, to be devoted by the People of these States, to the Service of that great and glorious Being, who is the bene ficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be: That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks for his kind Care and Protection of the Peo ple of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation:—for the signal and manifold Mercies, and the favourable interpositions of his Providence in the Course & Conclusion of the late War:—for the great Degree of Tranquility, Union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed:—for the peaceable and rationable Man ner by which we have been ena bled to establish institutions of and at Provo is fully five dollars per month less and other things in proportion so that the railroad fare is easily more than saved. Oakley people ought to realize that a good big school here would be an adornment, a bless ing and a profitable adjunct to the town. People elsewhere make considerable effort to get a school located in their midst, Here is an illustration from Missouri, the state where the people "have to be shown." The state now has four nor mal schools. They recently de cided to have two more, as they have "been shown" that for effectual work a school should not have more than three ox four hundred students. Several cities, strange to say, wanted the schools. They wanted them badly, too, as herein evidenced: Savannah offered $150,000 in cash. Lebanon $40,000 with a site, fret; light, and free water for 50 years. 'Marshfield $40, 000 and site. Greenfield $30,000 and site; Fierce City $25,000 and site; Webb City $30,000 and site; Neosho $50,000 and site; Lamar, site, and $30,000, etc. People of Oakley what will j will you give or what will you ] do to have a number one good ! normal school established in your midst? - THE GOOSE GREEK VALLEY The Garden Spot of the West— A Stretch of Country That Will When Irrigated, Sustain 100,000 People. BUrley is the distributing point for the Goose creek valley, the finest body of land in all the arid west. The soil is a dark colored sedimentary deposit as rich and fertile as the valley of the Nile.

AND ALSO, that we may then unite in most humbly offering our Prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our National and other Transgressions:—to enable us all, whether in public or private Stations, to perform our several and relative Duties properly and punctually;—to render our na tional Government a Blessing to all the people, by constantly be ing q government of wise, just and Constitutional Laws, di rectly and faithfully obeyed:— to protect and guide all Sover eigns and nations, (especially such as have shown kindness Given under my Hand at the City of New York, the third Day of October, in the Year of Lord One Thousand Seven Hun dred and Eighty-Nine, unto us) and to blejps them with good Government, Peace Concord;—to promote the know- j ledge and Practice of crue Relig- j ion and Yirtne, and the increase j of Science among them and and generally to grant unto all I mankind such a Degree of tem-! poral Prosperity as He alone knows to be best. and us;— j our G. WASHINGTON. All this grand country needs it 1 water for irrigation to make it veritable paradise, The valley is approximately 25 miles long and 17 miles wide making in round numbers 270, 000 acres of land that will be worth, when irrigated, $150 per acre and this valuation will be based 011 its producing and earning capacity. Twc-hundred and seventy thousands of acres j at $150 per acre establishes a $40.000,000. This amount only represents the bare acreage val uation. Then add the j will vindicate this statement 1 word for word, | It almost seems folly for a man to make such estimates and yet every word of it will come true, The reasons for this forcast of a j valuation of approximately I improve ments and live stock and you will have a grand total of $50. 000,000. The next 10 years \ the future of the Goose creek val ley are as follows; The quality of the soil, its tremendous pro dueiug abilities, the climatic con ditions, the demand for this clas <>i soil, the wonderful immigr tion that is pouring into sou* ern Idaho and a country t will produce its crops every yeai with an untaltering generosity that will create a permanent and lasting prosperity from an agri- cultural and horticultural stand point. At the head of the valley is the beautiful town of Oakley and its tributaryculivatedacres. About 4000 people are living, prosper ing and growing independent in and about Oa k Î e v. T h e y are a hospitable, good pen pie, law-abiding and splendid citizens. The farmers at the up per end of the valley live on deed ed land and have established wa ter rights. Burley is the nearest railroad points for the Oakley district. If an intendining settler or in vestor wishes to know the pro ducing qualities ot the Goose creek acres all he needs to do to be convinced for all time is to visit the Oaklev district during the season and be convinced be- j yond the shadow of a doubt. This valley is not alone tribu- 1 tary to Burley; there are others ot which we will write later. As the years roll by, and not many either, the prophesy made in this poor outline of the future of the wonderful Goose creek valley will lie materially verified.—Bur ley Bulletin. It is not so difficult now to understand how poor men build mansions and buy automibiles after serving a term in state leg slatures. It is AH Wrong. To ignore the forces which are improving civilization in your own country. Not to be able to carry on in telligently conversation upon current topics. To know nothing ofthe things we see, handle and enjoy every day of our lives. * To be 'gnorant of the general history of the world and of the various couutries. Not to know something of the greatest leaders, reformers, ar tists and musicians of the world. Not to have intelligent, know ledge of the general affairs of the world and the inter-relations of nations. R. T.
