Oak avenuo whero It crosses tbo rail
road, to co what might bo necessary
or feasible regarding a crossing there.
The matter had been brought to tho
council's attention by a- petition from
tho residents of tho settlement across
tho track. Tho city engineer report
ed that the proposed location for a
crossing was dangerous.
This was not particularly pleasing
to tho folks who are anxious to get to
tho city's heart by a shorter route,
and they believe that the city should
hnvo tho city cnglner decide on u
plan for a crossing. There Is a pave
Icadlng from tho addition to the Oak
street crossing and tbo railroad, when
It graded to put down Its rails, put
In an aproach on each side of the
track. This Is quoted as evidence) of
tho road's expectation and the city's
Intention at that Hmo of having a
regular traffic crossing.
Tho problem has been before tbo
council at different times for two or
three )enrs, with various action or
Inaction by tho city paters. If tho de
mand for a crossing at Oak avenuo Is
not soon Oiled, the Mills people ex
pect to make a loud noise that will
not bo particularly Joyful.
On Saturday tho council street com
mittee was out looking over the Sixth
htrect route, where It would connect
with Wantland arcnue. Somo time
ago the city council took preliminary
steps toward establishing a first clan

does something deQntto about the
opening of Oak a-venue. As it Is the
two open crossings for vehicles. Sixth

Those who might miss mall when

Brandenburg Is warning the boxhold-

forty open at one time. Sometimes
peoplo who hove difficulty In working
tho combination of a box leave the
combination on so as to make open
Ing easier at the next visit. From
now on those leaving their boxes open
need not be surprised to have the
boxes taken from them.

In a way which shows that the farm

"California has always proved to
be a good potato growing section, but
so far has never been able to pro

to meet the consumption, and owlag
to the fact that our population Is

"Gentlemen In reply to your In
quiry for seed potatoes, will state
that we could furnish youthree or
four cars of potatoes of as many dif
ferent varieties as have ever been
planted In any section of this 'conn-
try, but not enough of any one varte-,

sary a meeting of the formers of
Stttes, Idaho, to decide on a desirable
variety of potatoes.
"Two varieties, the Lightning Ex-

tion all along the line. I am sorry
