PRAIRIE HAS
FRUIT CROP
Great Success of Orchards
Amply Demonstrated
This Year

There is an abundant fruit crop in
the Nez Perce prairie country this
year." said Deputy Fruit Inspector
Mohl this morning. Some of the
trees are breaking down with their
loads. The season is later in that
section and the frosts that caught the
Lewiston valley did not effect the
higher country.
There have been abundance of
peaches of the earlier varieties, and
summer apples have been plentiful. 1t
will be about two or three weeks yet
before the later peaches are ripe. With
but few exceptions the orchards of the
prairie are set mostly to summer and
fall apples. There are few commercial
orchards in bearing at this time"
Mr.. Mohl, himself, has an orchard OF
40 acres, set principally to winter ap-
Piles, and will this season harvest his
first considerable crop. He has 1900
apple trees and has been experiment
ing this year with the dry spray tc
keep down the Goblin moth. He has
sprayed three times and reports thai
he has less than l per cent Of wormy
apples.
Il will have 600 boxes of Rome
Beauties" said Mr.. Mohl, '"and about
as many of JOnathans, and a mixed lot
of as many more. My orchard is COM
ing into bearing rapidly now and will
have to devote all of my time to the
work of it's cultivation and the matter
of guarding against the fruit pests
From the success of this year it can
not longer be doubted that orchards ir
the upper country will be a financia
success"

vocation delivered by Rev. George
Swan, of Sacramento, and a number
of addresses on subjects of great in
terest were announced for the three
sessions today.
Men prominent in the great work of
the congress were the speakers. The
first step, made evidently with the idea
of putting off the alleged grievances OF
the so-caIled 'kickers' from Youa,
Valley and other points coming di-
rectly before the congress, developed
when Mathew Dougherty, of Utah,
moved that all resolutions be referred
to the committee of resolutions by title
only. This was seconded by John E.
Raker, of Modoc, Cal, and unanimous
ly adopted. AS result debate at the
outset win be shut off.
A letter from Secretary Garfield was
read regretting his inability to attend
and speaking of the big work done.

inland waterways commission, was
then introduced, and received warm
welcome He delivered an interesting
address on the subject with which the
inland water commission deals.

CASE
IS POSTPONED
U. 5. Attorney Sims Will
Submit Facts to the
Department

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Judge Lands,
in the United States district court to-
day ordered a posTponement OF the
grand jury investigation of the rebat-
ing charges against the Chicago & Al
ton road, growing out of the recent
trial and conviction of tine Standard
Oil Co until September "a.
1t was generally believed that when
the court opened today letter would
be presented from Attorney General
Bonaparte settling the question Of
whether the department OF justice in
tended to prosecute an action against
the Chicago & Areyn.
The company has claimed immunity,
asserting that it was promised by
former District Attorney Morrison that
if it aided the government in good faith
in the prosecution of the Standard on
company that it would be exempt No
such letter was. however, produced in
court, either by Judge Lands or by
District Attorney Sims, the successor
of District Attorney Morrison.
When the court opened today Dis
tr.ct Attorney Sims said,
Il am here if the court please, IN
the matter Of the grand jury investiga
ton, and in that matter have TO ask
the court or wish to make motion for
a postponement IN compliance with the
A.
time of the convening of the present
grand jury, the facts and circum-
stances in the connection with the
matter under investigation have been
submitted to the department and I
had expected to have been able to re-
port to the court this morning its
views and findings. Very recently
however, a situation has arisen which,
in my Judgment, makes it highly de-
sirablp that l have time to submit to
the department certain facts and CIR
cumstances in addition to those al
ready submitted. For these reasons
7 request that further action in the
matter be postponed for three or four
weeks. 1 regret the necessity for ask
ing the court for this postporement'
but it seems to me in view Of what
know in connection with the cose to be
unavoidable"
'Ts the grand jury present. asked
Judge Landis.
"In court now, your honor"
How much time do you want?'
81 think not less than three weeks.
1t seems to me highly desirable that
when the matter is again called that
we be able to take definite action on It.
Three weeks from today will be the
oath"
1'You may inform the grand jury
, said Judge Landis, that they are at
liberty to take a recess until 10 O'clock
the morning of September "a"
