PROGRESS OF VALE
Enormous Business Increase And
Growth of Vale Recognized By
Department of the Interior
Postmaster J. P. Houston, has been
notified by the Postmaster-General,
that the postoffice at Vale has been
increased in rating to that of the
second-class. This news is gratify
ing to the residents In this vicinity ;
as it shows thats progress has been
made and that the volume of mail
matter handled daily by the local
postoffice has increased up to the
standard which causes the new rat
ing. The completion of the Warm-,
Bprings Irrigation Project and the
consequent settling and farming of
nearly all of the lands in the pro
ject, is one of the contributing causes
of the postal increases. It is not
to be forgotten that the efficient
work of Postmaster Houston and
his able assistant, Postmaster Mary
McKinney, in caring for all matter.
in the local office have helped in
estimably to bring about recognition
by the Postoffice Department, of the
business handled, and of the growth
of the abounding territory.

Tobacco Dealers Notified to Comply
With City and State Laws
Affecting Minors
133 for and 48 against is the result
of the special city election authoriz
ing the City Council to sell $35,000
of the six per cent water bonds, a
canvassed by the council in a spec
ial session held Wednesday evening.
July 6th was the date set for the
opening of bids, and the rpeci.il
water committee was instructed to
immediately employ a qualifi'-'d en
gineer to complete the details of
the proposed improvement thut will
give Vale a first class water sys
tem. The matter of allowing the sale
and use of firecrackers on July
fourth was discussed, but the Council
did not believe that it was gooa
policy to repeal the existing ordin
ance forbidding the practice, and de
e'ded to leave the regulations in
force. It was pointed out that the
fire hazard was too great to chance
at that season of the year.
The resolution of the farent-Teach
er Association and the Chamber of
Commerce regarding the illegal sale
of cigarettes and tobacco to minors
was presented and a resolution pass
ed notifying all tobacco dealers to
observe the city ordinance and the
state law forbidding the sale of cig
arettes to minors under 21 years and
tobacco in any form to minors unde
18 years.
Fire Destroys Depot
A fire of unknown origin entirely
destroyed the passtngcr and freight
depot at Fruitland, Sunday evening,
tho total loss of th" building alone
amounting to $2,000.00. The contents
and equipment have not been valued
vet. nor the dnmaee done to nearby
buildings. The blaze was discovered
about nine o'clock and a call for help
was sent in to the fire departments
of Payette and Ontario. The chem
ical truck was immediately rushed
to the scene from the latter city by
Fire Chief Louis Kroessin but noth
ing could be done to save the depot.
Several barrels of oil had been left
sitting on the depot platform and
of course agninr.t this added fuel, the
efforts of the firemen against the
blaze were futile. By hard work,
however, the nearby fruit warehouse,
much larger and costlier building
than the other was saved.
