Lewiston-The state horticultural de-
partment is waging vigorous cam
paign In every county of the state for
better fruit and to eliminate the posi-
bility of the brown tailed moth sc cur
ing foothold in Idaho orchards. Dur
ing the spring planting season several
carloads of infected nursery stock
from Eastern nurseries were destroyed
by the state inspector and while no
evidenceof the moth has been discov-
cred in Idaho, the state inspector has
ordered rigid inspections by his county
deputies.
BY abolishing the market for infect
ed fruits, the department believes it
has solved the problem of clean orch
ards and while Lewiston valley fruit
has been in excellent conditions for the
past several years. it is the purpose of
the state authorities to establish the
highest possible standard for Idaho
fruits and command fancy market
for theI IDAHO growers.

Scientific Value is HIGH

Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 3.-The Brit
ish association for the advancement of
science at its national meeting showed
great interest in the report that DR..
Cook had reached the North Pole. Col
onei Sir Duncan tombstone, declared
the expedition would be of the highest
scientific value if scientific observations
Were made by qualified men. C. II.
Chisholm, professor of geography at
Edinburgh university, said magnetic
observations that could be made at the
pole would likely be among the most
valuable results of the day.

Burley-Orders have been received
at the reclamation office here to get
things in shape to push the south pro-
ject to completion as rapidly as posi-
bic. SPECIFICATIONS for laterals and
other construction work are now being
prepared and the work will be pushed
with vigor.
An official at the reclamation office
stated that by reason of the orders re-
ceived the reclamation service would
be able TO provide water for at least
20, 900 acres OF the 30, 900 acres under
the south side pumping system by next
season. 1t is probable that this
amount of water will more than meet
the demand ncxt season, as many
homesteaders have only small tracts
cleared.

Boise-An electric interurban line
from Boise to Kuna is being financed
here and prospects for esrIy cons.ruc-
tion are promising. The chief pro-
moter of this enterprise is James AID
ans. capitalist of Boston, who has
been interested in the proposed road by
local parties who hold interests along
the proposed right of way and who have
come forward and guaranteed to put up
a considerable amount of money as a
bonus to secure such line. Already
some $40, 900 has been subscribed bv
property owners and guarantee of a
free right of way assured providing
the road is built and in operation by
January l, 1911.
People living along the right of way
feel confident that the enterprise will
be carried to successful end and the
line built, as plans are under way for
building up large part of the terri
tory which will be penetrated by the
road.
Several artesian wells have been
struck along the line of the proposed
road. Ii is believed that within year
the section will be we'll settled up, and
as an inducement for the carline to pass
through this district, the land com
pany has offered bonus, as have also
others owning property beyond as we'll
as the Kuna Townsite company, which
is anxious to have that promising town
connected with Boise by rail. Under
the inducements offered all who hold
property along the right of way feel
confident that the enterprise will be
success.

bad breaks this summer there has been
considerable demand from ranchmen
relative to cement fluming for the
canal, 1t being urged that although the
first cost would be heavy, there would
be no seepage of water and the yearly
maintenance OF the ditch would be far
less than at present. The feasibility
of the proposition will be thoroughly
looked into by the managers.
