When the trunks of cherry trees have
started to decay probably the best way
Of checking 1t Is to clean out the dead
wood, paint the wound thoroughly with
whitewash, or, better yet, with Bor-
dcaux mixture, and then cover the
whole wound with grating wax or
clay, so as to keep the water out. While
this may not result in an entire healing
over Of the bad wounds, it will prob
ably stop the decay, and make the trees
last longer than they would If left with
out treatment. Don't be afraid to re-
move all the rotten wood, as it adds
nothing to the strength of the tree and
has tendency to. promote rot in the
new tissues, 1t is quite likely that this
rot started in the tunnel Of borer and
has gradually spread until it is serious.

SUNDAY MAIL SERVICE


F. f. Whitney, chief clerk oi
railroad mail service Tor this divi.
sion was in town Friday sizing up
the situation as to the necessity Of
Sunday mail service for Emmett.
Mr.. Whitney's visit was tie result
'of 2 petition recently forwaded TO
the department by our CONNER
cial Club asking for a seven day
service over the Idaho Northern.
Under the law uniform contract
exists between all railroads and
the government as to carrying u.
S. mails. and whenever a railway
company's published schedule calls
only for six days week service
they are under no legal obligation
to carry Sunday mail and there is
no lawful provision whereby they
can receive extra compensation
from the government if they do so.
Mr.. Whitney expressed the opin-
ion that should his report of the
matter warrant establishment of a
Sunday service for Emmett, there
would be 20 way for the depart
ment to act except to regularly ad-
perties for bids, for star route ser
vice between some railway point
and this town. This, he intimated,
he would recommend, and thought |
hat if the expense incurred would |
lot be too great. Sunday mail ser
rice might be established.

METHODIST CHURCH
DEDICATED.
Debt Lifted and a $4,000
Church Edifice Conse-
Grated to Christian Work

The dedication of the new $13,-
600 Methodist church in this cit,
on Sunday marked the culminatior
of two years of heroic sacrifices
unflinching determination, unceas.
ing lIbor and answering loyalty
on the part of the members of the
congregation. The last cent of in
debtedness was raised atssthe Sun
day night meeting, amid great en-
thusiasm and rejoicing. 1t was a
great day for the Methodist church
in Emmett and will ever bea mem
orable one ir the history of that de-
nomination.
DR.. T. C. Ilif of Philadelphia,
secretary of the Church Extension
Society of the Methodist church de-
livered the dedicatory sermon in
the morning to large congrega-
ton. The other churches held no
services and the members turned
out in force to rejoice with their
brethren upon this happy occasion.
DR.. lifts subject was "Immor-
tality'' and his sermon was power
full, eloquent, impressive.
After the sermon announce
ment was made. that debt
of $3174 still remained on the
church building and that accord
ing to the usage of the Methodist
church. no church edifice could be
dedicated until the debt was clear
ed up. Then campaign for funds
began. The first and largest
pledge was from the Ladies Social
Union, amounting to $500. The
next largest was 1900 from Frank |
c. Berry. Quite number of 800 |
subscriptions were made, then $75
pledges wheeled into line, follow
ed by $50. s25 and on down the
line until $2790 had been subscrib-
ed. This sum was augmented at
the evening service by $465. 5.61,
total of 1925. 81, more
than enough TO liquidate the in
1ebtedness.

Costly Errors Turned Vic
tory Into Defeat.

With the score 2 to o at the be-
gining Of the eighth inning. ans
with Maloney pitching shut on,
ball, costly errors in the last two
innings turned victory into defeal

Boise hitters at his mercy Not a

when the latter was running for
third. Woody had his ankle
sprained and was out of the game
and Bragaw. though not able to
reach the coveted sack. was able to
go into the box in the following
inning.
How it happened: The first two
scores of the game were made in
the first inning when Woody and
Reynolds each counted for Emmett
on two hits and two passed balls.
After the opening inning Bragaw
held the Prune Pickers to one hit
and that was in the third. After
that he pitched shut out ball. In

History of o Organization.

On September /, 1884. Rev. AL
fred Thomson was sent to this 10.
cality to inaugurate work. Six
preaching points we re established
in the different school houses.
James Wardwell sold the congrega-
tion one-quarter of block on
Main street for 800, donating half
Of it. The first year the member
ship reached Is. A parsonage and
church were erected upon the lots
purchased. The church cost $1,000
and the parsonage $500. The first
trustees were J. Martin and Charles
Oakes of Emmett, A. Ireton of
Sweet, R. II. Robb of Horseshoe
Bend and James Ballantine of Ola.
The first church building was
dedicated July l. 1885, by Rev. A.
Ends, presiding elder of this dis
trict. During the 10 years that
followed the society had its ups
and downs, but continued to grow.
In 1905, upon the assignment of
Rev. E. ]. Deane to this field,
the church took on new life and in
creased in membership. To him is
due the credit of starting the move
ment that eliminated in the erec-
tion of the splendid church edifice
dedicated last Sunday. The old
church and parsonage occupied
half block of one of the best bust
ness sites on Main street. The i'm
petus given to the growth of the
town by the construction of the
Canyon canal made this land valu-
able. The lots on which the parson-
age stood was sold to J. L. Steward
and is occupied today by two
story double store building. The
balance of the land was sold to A.
A. Richards and J. w. Cook, who .
later sold it to Andrew Nelson,
the present owner. From the sale
of this property the church receiv-
ed $4,000. The old church build.
ing was sold to the Christian de-
nomination, moved to another To-
cation and is now being used by
them as a place of worship.
The site upon which the new
church stands was purchased from
f. K. Hayes. The corner stone
was laid Augsut 9, 1906, by the
grand lodge of Masons. Tn.
building is constructed of white
pressed brick with cut stone trim
mings, and cost $13, 1876. 1t has a
seating capacity at present of 30J.
with floor space sufficient to near
ly double that number when occa-
sion requires.

Cemetery Improvement Associ-
alton.

Steps are being taken to form an
association composed Of the secret
orders and the cemetery association
for the purpose of beautifying the
burial grounds north of the river.
For years, owing to the lack of
water, the grounds have been a
desolate looking place. Water is
now available from the Canyon
canal, and no further time should
he lost in making this sacred spot
a yeritable garden. The grounds
should be laid off in systematic
manner, and driveways located. In
the spring day should be set
apart for the planting of trees and
every resident of the valley invit-
ed to assist.

WHERE THE CHILDREN SLEEP.

Chicago Record-Herald.)
What are the night winds whispering
over the graves where the children
What is the message the angels bring
Down from the heavens TO those who
To those who weep for the sinless ones
Who lie asleep on the leaf-strewn slope?
Ever since God gave light to the suns
This word has come to the mourner-
Hope"
Over the meadows the world is blown;
At night it is written across the sky;
The stately pine when the fall has flown
Still whispers, Hope" as the brief
days die;
out on the hills where the children sleep
Hope is the song that the long night
brings
To the folk that hide where the dew Is
Or lightly hutter their gauzy wings.
Let him who SCOTS and the ones who
doubt
cease
From their futile efforts to reason out
The dream which brings TO the stricken
peace;
For Faith. the ar1nor of those in woe.
And Hope. the chariot Of those who
weep,
Shall last as long as the night winds blow
over the graves where the chiIdreH
sleep.
