Estimates as Reported.
Estimates OF the apple crop In the
United States. made yesterday by the
American Applegrowers' congress, az
the last session OF IT'S convention at
the Southern hotel, showed a gloomy
outlook for the fruit this year The
best promised by any district was
normal crop. and this promise was
held out only by the districts which
did not suffer from the coplous
spring rains which washed the pollen
out OF the blooms and from the kill
ing frost which came about the end
of April. The estimate of the sta
tlstics committee. presided over by
=. Mack Tenner OF Springfield, ILL.,.
was as follows:
Missouri-Reports In Missouri
vary from to 35 per cent. The
crop in the Ozarks is practically
nothing, while In northern Missouri
some orchards are good. For the
whole state a fair estimate would be.
20 per cent.
Illinois-Poor crop all over the
state A fair estimate Is 10 per cent
Of a normal crop.

Our Canadian Cousins are Coming
Down in Great Force.

Everything is progressing nicely
for the big 4th of July Celebration.
The race track and base ball
grounds will be in readiness in
ample time. The Eagles, who have
taken hold of the preparations,
have the track cleared, the stump;
blown out, the underground on the
grounds slashed and burned, and
are now blowing and grading the
track. The next thing will be the
building of the grand stand and
fencing the grounds with a high
board fence. The Eagles are spend
ing more money, twice over, that
the entire celebration proper will
cost.

advanced ground. The nominees
are men who can be depended up
on to stand by every plank in the
platform.
1t was a very inspiring scene
when Secretary Taft was presented
to the convention and the enthusi
asm was great. There was but one
ballot. 1t resulted in 702 Tor Taft.
The favorite sons of several states
received votes as follows: Hughes,
63; Cannon, 81; Fairbanks; 40s
Knox, 68; LaFollett, %; Foraker,
l6. The nomination of Taft was
made UNANIMOUS on motion of a
Hughes delegate, seconded by del
egate, who had supported the
candidates favorite so n =.
Then followed great scenes of
enthusiasm.
For Vice President Congressman
Sherman of New York was nomina-
ted. He is a fit running mate for
Taft and is strong in the empire
state.
The great convention closed its
labors, its work being completed.
The work was well done. 1t is a
strong ticket, nominated upon a
strong plotform, and success in
sures four years more OF the poll
cies of President Roosevelt.
Idaho was ably represented in
the convention. The state conven-
ton did not elect either senator
Borah or Senator Hepburn as dele
gates, but they were both very
much in evidence and their servi-
ces in demand. Senator Hepburn
was accorded the distinguished
honor of being called upon to pre-
side over the convention for hall
hour during the absence of perma-
nent Chairman Lodge, while Sena-
tor Borah was one of the six floo
managers for Taft.

Taft of Ohio and Sherman of New
York to Lead Republicans to
Victory.

Another Republican National
Convention has passed into history.
The platform has been adopted and
the standard bearers have been
named. The Republican party
has submitted its cause to the
people for ratification or rejection.
That the party of Progress, Pros
perity aad Protection will be con-
tinued in control of the destinies of
the Great Republic there can be no
doubt. The country has been mar
velously prosperous. There has
been peace and plenty in the land.
The people are protected in their
rights, property and liberty. No
party could do more than the Re-
publican party is doing to curb the
the avarice of the predatory rich.
The country has confidence in the
Republican party, hence the Re-
publicans are able to inaugurate
reforms without disturbing the
prosperous business conditions OF
the country. Bryan could not do
it. His radical tendencies and
free trade theories would be certain
to bring on business stagnation
and a panic, The great, sober ma
jority of the American people will
never try the experiment of elect
ing Democrat and changing those
policies that have brought such
great prosperity to the country
not until the Republicans prove
recreant to their duty, and just al
present the Republican party is
fulfilling all the duties required Of
it in a most able and enlightened
manner.
The Chicago convention was q
great convention, and it will pass
into history as one of the greatest
deliberative assemblies ever held in
this country for a like purpose
The Platform is strong and takes

TALKED DYKE.

The mass meeting held at the
hall last Monday night was at
tended by quite r number of citi-
zens. The object was to discuss
ways and means to protect the
river front and dyke against high
water. The subject was gone over
very thoroughly but no action was
taken. 1t was estimated that il
would cost not less than SO pei
front foot to do the work that
seemed necessary. The distance is
about $500 feet.
One proposition was to levy g
special tax and build. a section O
the dyke each year until completed

tations. Many have contributed
literally. but others are not doing
their share. 1t is to be hoped that
they will reconsider and give the
celebration that support that might
reasonably be expected from them.
The executive committee will
meet tomorrow and arrange the
program and decide upon the pur-
SEES. Nothing could be done along
this line until the subscription list
was complete, for obvious reasons.
Indications point to a large atten-
dance. Creston and Cranbrook
promise large representations.
Creston has engaged the Boomers
Ferry band for Dominion day and

ry will go to Creston on the 1st

ATTACKED BY A BEAR
Elmer Holt Stays a Female Bear
With an Ak

Elmer Holt while engaged in
clearing land on the "Gillon
Ranch" at Round Prairie, was at
tackled by large female bear,
which he managed to kill with a
few deft blows from his ak. The
daring huntsman then bagged the
hansome cub which is now a pet on
the Gillon Ranch.
Bear are quite numerous in the
vicinity of Round Prairie.
Mr.. ALI Gillon had quite an ex
periance with the bear family a
short time ago. He succeeded in
shooting one.

The proposition most favored
was to drive pilling along the river
front, board these up, then drive
another row of piling on top of the
bank to tie the first row to, then
fill in between with earth until the
level of main street was reached.
This would raise the grade along
the bank, below main street, an
average of four feet.

taking any action, but accomplished
good in that it led to a better un-

REMOVED RUICK
Marshal Rounds Official Head Also
Falls in the Basket

The expected has happened.
Norman M. Ruick, U. S. Attorney
of Idaho, and Ruel Rounds, u. S.
Marshal, have both been removed
by President Roosevelt. This has
been expected ever since these two
officials secured the indictment of
Senator Borah and then failed so
mis- erably to sustain their charges.
The following kilograms throw
light upon the turn of events in
these cases in the past few days:
Boise, June 13--Assistant Attor-
ney General Cooley arrived here
yesterday from Spokane ana re-
moved United States District Attor-
ney Ruick from office by order of
President Roosevelt and Attorney
General Bonaparte.
The reasons given are that
Ruick's attitude with regard to i'm
portant department affairs has
been inconsistent with the idea of
loyalty to the government, and be-
cause of complaints that he would
not pay debts for the reason that
claims had been barred by the stat
ute of limitation.
ROUNDS MUST RESIGN.
Washington, June 13.-Ruel
Rounds, United States marshal for
the district of Idaho, must resign
today or be removed from Office.
The charges against Rounds affect
his administration, which is said to
be unsatisfactory in many respects.
The charges are supposed to be
similar to those against District At
torney Ruick.
Boise, Idaho, June 15.-Directly
one after the other the following
kilograms were received this after
noon in Boise and delivered.
/ Washington, June 15.-Ruel
Rounds, Boise, Idaho: The presi-
dent has removed you from the
office of United States marshal for
the district of Idaho.
