The first car to go out this way went
off last night from the Golden Orange
Association, and Manager C. NJ Brown
freely says it is an experiment with
him, but one that he hopes will prove
a great success. The baskets are
large, cheap things, with a cover that
is held on by wires slipped over a
projecting cleat. The baskets hold
considerably less than a box, and the
fruit is not wrapped in paper, but is
merely rolled hastily into the basket
and the cover placed on. Then the

The fruit to be sent is of the eX-
ira choice variety, and it was decided
to send it ventilated, not iced, in order
ing qualities of the fruit when shipped
i'm this way. The baskets are not
crowded together as closely as the
boxes i'm a packed car, and are really
well ventilated. If this car should go
through ventilated, not iced, in good
condition, it would probably demon
strate that a great deal of the cheaper
grades of fruit at this time of the
year, before the real warm weather is
upon us. can go without ice. AS the
cost of icing a car will average about
$75, this i'm itself would be a great
saving. Then the packing is much less
expensive, no paper being used, and
the labor would be much less. With
the baskets i'm general use, they, too,
ought to be constructed for less money
than the boxes.
While the baskets have been used

well that he asked for Redlands

'sThere seems one great difference

Mir. Fred w. Lake, the land agent and attorney of San Francisco, re- quests all his clients in Gila county and vicinity, for whom he has taken claims for recovery of money paid on land entries, to communicate with him at once and send as full particulars as possible of their cases. All of Mr. Lakes records were destroyed in the San Francisco fire, and information is desired from clients m order that no time need be lost in the prosecution of the cases, and to save the delay rend- cred necessary by making up new rec ords from the land offices. As some of these cases have been in litigation for a number of years but are nearly ready now to be successfully concluded, all claimants who have placed such claims in Mir. Lakes hands at any time in the past, are requested to communicate with him.

Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1906-07-07

No. l, of Vol. of the Sites Herald,
fresh as the proverbial daisy, reached
the exchange desk of the Mining News
last Saturday. The paper is a six-col-
umn folio with two pages printed at
home, and the name w. c. Sallee APP
pears at the maethead. The first issue
is filled with advertising by local mer-
chants, and the news columns reflect
passing history in way that would do
credit to community several times the
size of Sites. The new paper is the
pearest competitor the Mining News
has, but here's hoping the editor and
the town of Sites will both profit by
it's presence. A newspaper is the
handle of life and any town without one
deserves no better treatment than being
classed in the municipal bone yard with
the has-been's and cross-road places.
If Sites keeps up the pace it will be in
Elk City's class pretty soon.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
JUSTICE SHOULD DECIDE.

The shooting that occurred on
Crooked River Thursday of last week
by which one life was blotted out and
another principal to the fray was
wounded is an incident that places the
Elk City mining region in the public
eye in a manner not at all satisfactory
to the best interests here, We may
refer to the matter lightly, by saying
that mining region is never of much
importance until few "lflllin's" have
taken place, but The Mining News
doubts very much whether this sort of
philosophy will appeal to outside capital,
which the Elk City mines at this time
are in need of. Such desperate methods
to retain possession were resorted to in
the early days of mining when small
capital was needed and desperate men
were in the mountains in pursuit of
wealth. Modern mining is now carried
on in civil communities. Capital is
needed to equip the modern mine with
machinery. But capital ia about as
timid thing as there is, and it will not
go where life and property are in
danger where physical strength is used
instead of the law.
In view of the vital Importance the
case bears to the future of the camps
in Idaho county, The News hopes a
fair and impartial investigation will be
made, and when the case is disposed of
it will be in manner that will uphold
the dignity of the law. Both parties
have their friends, but justice should
not give way to prejudice and passion.
Society demands thorough and impair
tial hearing, and it should be the hope
of the defendants and their friends that
the final disposition of the case will
come only when the law has been salts
fed.

IOwA'S POLITICAL FIGHT.

To one interested in politics, the fight
now on in Iowa between A. B. Cum
minis and George Perkins for guberna-
torial honors, offers all the attractions
that are known by those who hawk of
fetal positions to those who are most
willing to serve the wishes of the po-
litical ring master. The fight is con-
Quoted with such earnesthess that the
state is all agog with politics, every
means known to the profession is re-
sorted to to win vote. The primaries
are now being held. The convention to
nominate will be held early in August.
The number of delegates pledged to
the two candidates shows Cummins to
have the best of Perkins, but the
Perkins following is so strong and the
determination of the corporate interests
so great that the gathering of the re-
publican hosts in August is sure to
result in two conventions and a split in
the republican party in Iowa, such as
occurred in the party in Wisconsin four
years ago.
And all this is taking place in strong,
republican Iowa There are the best of
reasons for it. Party utilization does
not cut the figure in choosing men for
official positions that it used to. The
voter thinks for himself in these pro-
gressive days and he is not SO easily
stampeded by the political spell binder.
Iowa has been dominated by corpo-
rate interests, chiefly the railroad com
panies, ever since the republican party
gained power in the state. 1t has been
the feeding ground for the greed OF
men in high finance who have gtoomed
the states Legislators, judges and con.
kressmeh to serve them. Low assess

OREGON AND THE WOMEN.

Idaho Unionist: Oregon may be all
right as a republican state that is demo-
cratic in spots, but when that great
sovereign state classes it's good women
along with convicts and idiots, by re-
fusing them the right to vote, it shows
very strong weakness in the moral
and intellectual makeup of its he pop
ulation.
The greasy, indolent, ignorant, semi
civilized old Pinto Indian can vote in
Oregon.
The pardoned convict and the convict
who has served his time and had his
rights restored by an indulgent ex-
ecutive can vote in Oregon.
The vicious, the ignorant, the for
eigner, so long as he is of the he sex,
can vote in Oregon.
But the women-the bright, intelli-
gent, educated wives, sisters, mothers
and daughters of the great state of
Oregon must not be permitted to vote.
cit would be injurious to the business
interests of the state" say the Port

What business interests, may we
