Fruit Growers Organize.

The first steps were taken last week at Council
toward the organization of the fruit growers of
Council Valley and Hornet Creek and repre-
sentative of The Scimitar acknowledges a most
pleasant hour spent with these earnest and enthu-
siastic gentlemen at this initial meeting Council
Valley be it remembered, is that portion of Wash
ngton County that sent display of apples down
to the fair at Boise last fall and carried off twenty
nine premiums out of possible forty-three Not
bad showing, that
But now the Councilites are going after still
larger things. They have accomplished wonders
without organization without Advertising almost
without concerted effort of any kind They propose
now to organize to buy their supplies together to
market their fruit certain prescribed lines, to
plant more trees and choosing always the most mar
ketabIe varieties and they propose to push the
products of Council Valley so that the outside world
will come to their doors and demand Council Valley
apples no matter what the price.
The fact of the matter is Council Valley is awake
to her opportunities, and will some day come into
her rlghtful heritage. The Scimitar extends con-
gratulations on the showing thus far made. and
wishes the new association long life and harmony
and prosperity.

TONS "declared emphaticaly in favor of universal
system of Sunday closing" The Guardian reports
him as saying:
"The difficulties in the case of local closing are
only too manifest when you go down to the frontiers
of England and Wales The troubles that have arisen
there would be aggravated not ten, but hundred
or thousandfold every local authority in this
country permitted to adopt reject Sunday closing
Moreover, we have always advocated Sunday closing
not merely religious grounds, but for economic
and labor reasons, and act of justice to the
working classes.
The resolution that carried reads thus:
"That in view of the great Importance of Sunday
closing and of the unanimty of Christian churches,
of temperance reformerS, of labor leaders, and of
citizens generally the question this conference
earnestly appeals to his majesy's government to
make Sunday closing national lines one of the
provisions of the Licensing Bill to be introduced next
session. and that the Prime Minister and the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer be requested to receive
deputaton on the question at an early date"
Frankfort, says correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle, is taking the lead in 'the growing
German movement for approach to the Eng
lish Sunday" We read:
"The shopkeepers of Frankfort (and many of the
people, did at all like to have this Sunday rest
imposed upon them. Now, said Herr Lauten-
schlager chairman of many municipal committees]
they are accustomed to it, and nobody would agree
to restore the old conditions How it possible
to introduce our Sunday bylaws against the will
of the inhabitants? Nothing simpler The authori-
ties thought it would be benefit. So it done.
1--WE must sometimes introduce reforms against
the will of the public, said the Stadtrat with the
smile of the benevolent despot but explaining at the
same time that such things done under permit
of the German Parliament. And the Jews? No end
of time was spent the Jewish difficulty in Lord
Avebury's committee. In Frankfort, where Jews
are numerous enough, not seems to have
been heard The good Jews take their two Sundays
instead of one, and make fuss about it-perhaps
because it would be of USE Of course Sunday
closing in Frankfort is not exactly English Sun
day closing Theaters and restaurants are not af-
fected; and there exemptions for certain bust
nesSes in the early hours of the day. The municipal
tram-cars and the railways are busy But with these
exceptions and after two o'clock Frankfort is far
more an English city on Sunday than probably any
other Continental town."
