NO. 47. $25,000 BOND ISSUE FOR BRIDGES County Commissioners Call for Election to Approve Bonds to Repair Bridges A bond issue of $25,000 is to be submitted to the voters of Gem Coun ty on September 16th, the proceeds of which are to be used to build and re pair the bridges of Gem County. Such was decided at an adjourned meeting of the County commissioners held Monday at the court house, when an election was called for September 16th, at which time the question will be submitted to the voters. If the bond issue carries it means that $25,000 will «be expended to build new bridges across the Seven Mile slough at Letha and Vanderdasson and at Ola and the bridges across the Payette river at Letha and Emmett repaired. In fixing the bond issue at $25,000 the board of commissioners practically accepted the report of R. J. Newell of Ola, a bridge expert who has made a complete investigation of the bridges. Mr. Newell's report estimates the cost of the bridges as follows: Seven-Mile Slough, Letha Seven-Mile Slough, Vanderdas son ...—. Ola . Letha river bridge. Emmett .:.. $ 1,460 1,085 3,200 13,945 3,480 $23,160 Total The estimate of the bridge across the river at Letha includes changing the course of the river back to the old bed, the building of dykes to protect the banks and the building of ap proaches to the bridge that now stands in the middle of the river. Improvements to be made on the Emmett bridge include replacing some rotten timbers, tightening of draw bars, etc., with which it is thot the present bridge will last for sev eral years. The complete notice of election is published elsewhere in this paper.

The dairy farmers that have signed up cows in theA TT n an t d t f h ° t S h e d *!7 St i e n d the development of the dairy in dustry in Gem County are urged to be present at this meeting. There is a great need for increasing the production of the dairy cows in this section. This can best be brought about through the use of bulls back ed by good production. The Iowa ' State College conducted a demonstra-j ti°n m which they selected a scrub cow which gave 3,875 lbs. of milk and 193 lbs. of butterfat. Her daugh- ■ ter, which was sired by a good bull, made an average yearly production of 6,956 lbs. of milk and 266 lbs 01 butterfat. Her daughter in turn, which was also sired by a good pure bred bull, made an average yearly pro duction of 12,808 lbs. of milk and 483 lbs. of butter fat. Thus in two gen erations the milk production was in creased 8,929 lbs. and butterfat 290 bs - ASSOCIATION Farm Bureau is Aid in Better Dairy Stock for Gem County in The average cow in Gem County is producing less butterfat than the scrub cow used in this demonstration. Let's get behind the good bull cam paign and double the production of our dairy herds. OiNT^QHERS FOR SCHOOL | ANNOUNCED School Will Open September 5th With a Corps of Thirty Teachers.

Johnson Creek Full of Trout and Woods Fairly Alive With Deer from a fourKjay fishing expedition to Johnson creek 14 miles from here. We Drake's Lodge at Knox, Monday night—"Tom and Me" are just back had great sport, and made a big catch of rainbows. The beauty of the fish \ ing ia that the trout will rise for a fly, making the sport really worth while. Just as we were breaking camp, Guy Mains and Larry Phelan . rode up on horseback with three sal mon they had shot about 10 miles far 1 ther down stream. One of them weighed 35 pounds. Salmon are run i ning now and trout are forgotten. ; Guy and Larry say they found a school of about thirty-five. Guy chased 'em on horseback and attempt ed to rope them, but their horns were ^ , ; too sm^ll to hold the rope, so he used i The trip was made in the mail wag on, over one of the roughest roads we have ever rode over. Dan Drake has the contract to deliver the mail to Yellow Pine. In the winter time he uses dog sled as the snow is from six to 14 feet deep. Going north from the Cabin Creek summit, many of the pine trees along the road are girdled about 10 feet from the ground. This, we were told by "Hank," the stage «Hiver, was done by porcupines iast winter, standing on the snow, while ëating the bark. Our camp was made about half a mile above Burnt Log Creek. Every night we kept awake by varmints of some kind who held high carnival inside and outside the tent. Guy Mains says they were flying squirrels, Tom guessed they were bears and Ij just knew they were mountain lions.: Whatever they were, they certainly had the time of their young lives, Their first stunt was to turn the roof : a gun. j n t 0 a toboggan slide; then they turn ed it into a jazz dance that would ! ma ke the Emmett band look like a j Sunday school picnic. At times they would rush into the tent and grab a lock of Tom's hair with which to line their nests. One, that I guessed was a big wood rat, had a surprise when he ran across my face and got his my feet filled full of splinters from my stubby beard. The pesky things were into everything, but when they tackl ed the "hop-toad" they danced the hornpipe like a pack of drunken sail-, ° rs ' ^ were S0 J r J when we left they bid us good-bye with tears - streaming down their faces. ; Then there are other noises which one heara ^ where the mountain 1 strearas dash over boulders and the [ pmes whisper their secrets—noises tnat 0 ne hears only at night.

Then there is the peculiar « noise that th£ wind makes when it blows through the branches of the pine trees, and which doubtless sug jested "the whisp«?ring pines." They are noises so harmonious as to lull " • l " b " "■ ïiÜÏÏ* ,h ™' ! That you may judge how good the fishing is, let me tell you that Tom £>^ ^jVfLfth.? hung them on the branches of trees and picked them off at his leisure— as one would pick prunes or peaches at bome Friday night Johnson was the scene of a brilliant electric storm, accom-1 panied by a heavy rain.

Completing Re frigeration Plant—Capacity Twentyfive Carloads The Emmett Ice Company is busy completing the cold storage depart ment in their big ice plant, which will cost in the neighborhood of $10,000. When completed the storage depart ment will consist of a meat chilling room, a sharp freezer for freezing meats, a merchandise room for the storage of perishable merchandise and the cold storage room, with a capacity for about 25 carloads. Dr. A. N. Gaebler has leased the entire cold storage room and will use it this fall for the storage of a large portion of his apple crop from his orchads on the bench. The room has a capacity of from 20,000 to 30, 000 boxes of apples. Other Fruit Notes Usually the peach crop has ripened been packed and shipped away before the prunes are ready for market, but this year things will be different ow ing to the backward season this spring. The packing houses will pro bably start packing prunes first and when the peaches start the prune harvest will be on in full blast. This will raise havoc, a3 usually the pack ing houses are crowded to capacity to take care of the normal prune crop. While most of the peaches will be pecked on the farms, loading and shipping facilities will be crowded with both crops. J. R. Fields has leased the pack ing house belonging to the Co-op Ex change, on the rear of their pro perty and will pack the produce of his orchards at that place. Packing at all the houses will start about Sept.5. Guy B.
