Wednesday that
Ralph Weaver and his crew of sur

camp In Jordan Valley and were
beginning the location of t h e

quest of the Malheur county court
and it will follow a survey which
has already been made between
Rome and Crane.
The outcome of the survey Is
awaited with much Interest here
as the Jordan Valley route is fa v

also the shorter route for the need

On ‘Jim* Farley, Job Dispenser
The ROOSEVELT C AB B IN E T
A fter 12 lean years in the political
Sahara, the democrats have taken over
the Washington oasis and the man
next to the President to whom they are
loking most expectantly Is James A.
Farley, postmaster-general.
He has
already served notice that the entire
party strength and patronage will be
used to put through the Roosevelt pro
gram and do all in his power to sell
tlie democratic party to the country.
The new post office chief is from
Stony Point village of New York. A t 11
he was helping a widowed mother sup
port a fam ily of five children. H e car
ried a torch In a Bryan parade. He was
crack first baseman on the ball team.
A t 30 he had become a figure In state
politics, climbing from his first job of
town clerk.
He tided A1 Smith during his cam
paign for governor and as a * reward
was appointed chairman of the state
athletic commission.
The story goes
that it was Jim Farley who
urged
Franklin D. Roosevelt to accept the
proposal to head the New York ticket
In 1928. By 1930 he was definitely under
the Roosevelt aegis and his man was
elected.
A year later Mr. Farley took up his
second Job of President-making and
now he has come into national prom
inence at the age of 44. Unfailingly
genial, he neverthless
requires that

dispensed. Parley says ‘‘it is an act of
patriotism to so add to the strength of
the party as to Insure its continuance
in power.’’ He la forever hammering at

WEDDING JUBILEE
Celebrating fifty years of wedded
life, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Marshall
held open house at their home
here yesterday when around 125
guests called to wish them more
happiness.
Many of the
guests
were from Boise, Wilder and Pay

lovely basket of oranges, cakes,
fancy work, linens and dishes were
brought by friends.
Each guest was served a wedding
lunch and drank from an old-fash-
loned Chinaj cup, one of a set pre
sented the couple when they were
bride and groom In Denison, Iowa,
in 1883. That was several years
prior to the gay nineties but the
bride wore a gay dress of satin
maroon, with tight-fitting bodice
and puffed sleeves, which delighted
the guests who saw it yesterday.
The Marshalls have lived in Nys

of these y-ars, Mrs. Marshall has
