Weather Report.

The third successive week of alb
normally high temperatures in
northern and western Idaho showed
an average daily excess of 2 degrees
to S degrees. While the mean
temperature was not quite so high
as that of the previous week, the
average having been reduced by the
comparatively low night tempera-
lures that prevailed during the mid
die of the week, the absolute maxi
ma were, in general, higher and
Appropriated 100 degrees in all
save the more elevated districts. At
several points readings of more than
100 degrees occurred, the maximum
at Emmett on the goth being los
degrees. Conditions conducive to
rapid radiation at night obtained
on several dates, resulting in rela-
lively low minima, some stations
reporting readings below so de-
grees. In the eastern counties of
the state the week was the warm
est of the present season to date,
the average daily excess in temper
allure being about 4 degrees. The
absolute maximum temperatures av-
eraged about 95 degrees, while the
minima, except on the 81 and ~,
were generally below 90 degrees.
But little rain fell in the state dur
J ing the week, the only precipitation
of consequence reported being a few
light showers from the extreme
eastern counties. During the night
of the 10th cloudy and threatening
weather prevailed over the greater
part of southern Idaho, but no
measurable amounts of prccipita-
ton resulted. AS a rule the sky
was clear, particularly over the
northern and western counties. In
the eastern division of the state
there was considerable cloudiness
during the afternoons and the
weather was frequently threaten
ing. At Mountain Home the
maximum temperature exceeded
90 degrees every day and on the
II reached 104 degrees. The night:
were cool, with a minimum of A
degrees on the 10Th.

c. J. Sinsel, proprietor of the
Sinsel fruit packing house, has
closed a contract for so carloads of
Hungar ian, Italian and Silver
prunes to be sent during September
and the first week in October to
London, Glasgow and Berlin. The
contract price for the so carloads,
f. o. b. Boise, is SIS, 600, the pur-
chaser agreeing to pay the trans
portation charges, both by railroad
and steamer, refrigeration, ETC., in
addition. Mr.. Sinsel estimates that
these charges will probably amount
to $50, 900 in addition to the amount
paid him, or twice the original cost
of the prunes. The icing charges
alone will be about $4,000.

commission men are willing to take
the fruit from this locality with it's
present reputation, and trust to the
willingness of the people to buy and
eat the prunes, even though the
prices might be a little high.
MIR. Sinsel states that having eff
fected this sale, he is enabled to
pay better price than has general
ly been paid fruit growers in this
section. While the price has here
tofore been but SIS per ton for the
loose fruit, he will pay SIS per tor

a good thing for the fruit growers,

Athletics for Women.

Ought women to go into athletics II
may seem to some that the question ls
asked little too late. tnasmuch az women
have already gone into athletics Ihere

that has not Its physical director. VINO

spirited horses, riding as men ride, are
not seen goEoping over the Bride pains

In spite OF this addiction Of American
womanhood to athletic sports. the ques-
ton Is being seriously raised whether II
is good thing. Physicians write to the
papers TO say that young and growing
women arc almost sure to be injured pS
violent physical exercise, accompanied by
the nervous excitement OF contest or riY-
airy that they should have quiet and re-
pose during the adolescent period rather
than strain and excitement, and that.
lacking that peace and quietnesS, they
are liable either to physical Injury OF
nervous arrangement. The theory seems
to be that woman Is intended by nature
that all her development. under natural
conditions, is shaped toward that func-
ton and not toward the general. versa
tile activity that Is proper To man.
This seems plausible. but IT would be
