Caldwell Here Sunday

Sebree's Colts will be here Sun
day, and fierce battle is expected.
The two teams are tied for second
place and the contest will probably
decide the standing of the two
teams this season. The locals are
putting up the real thing in the
baseball line and if Caldwell is not
defeated they will have to put up
a pretty strong article of ball. Ma
loney and Reynolds will be the
battery.

Cherries are Ripe.

Cherries from the big Westlake
orchard are now on the market and
selling like hot cakes. Mr.. Rich
ards sold the entire crop to Mrs.
Julia Cook, who lives opposite the
orchard, and she already has quite
a force at work picking to fill
orders. There is a big demand for
them this year, particularly from
the Boise valley, where the sweet
cherry crop was almost an entire
failure.

COAL FROM THE BEND.
Hi Henry's Mines Prepared
to Fill Orders.

"With railroad transportation,
my coal mines at Horseshoe Bend
would be able to solve the fuel
problem of southern Idaho" Thus
spake Hi Henry, owner of the
Horseshoe Bend coal mines, who
was in town yesterday with samples
of coal. The quality of the coal
both for heating and cooking pur-
poses cannot be questioned, he said.
and he substantiated his assertion
by offering as Exhibit A solid black
chunks that have the appearance
of being every bit the equal of Rock
Springs coal.
Mr.. Henry has recently installed
an engine, hoist and a pump to
facilitate the mining of his Goals,
and has built tipple which al
ready contains 60 tons. The de.
posits are found in lodges that run
at an angle of nearly 45 degrees.
He has sunk an inclined shaft anu
is mining an 8-foot ledge. There
is besides this, good vein above
and another below the shaft, which
he believes join farther on form
ing a thick vein. He is now pre-
pared to fill orders for coal, and is
it at $4 per ton at the mine.
Large quantities of it are being
used by the farmers and miners of
that section ani it has given salts
faction as fuel in every instance.
1t produces clean ash, free from
clinkers and slate. With the build
ing of railroad to that section.
the vast deposits in the Horseshoe
Bend and Jerusalem countries
would supply southern Idaho with
cheap fuel for an indefinite period.

RURAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Contracts Given for Five New
Farm Residences.

Those who have not kept tab on
the development that has been 60
ing on on the bench and slope land
this spring will be greatly surpris-
ed at the wonderful transformation
that has taken place. Montaville
Flowers who recently spent half a
day driving over the Emmett
country said this section shows the
greatest development of any other
section he has visited during three
months tour of observation through
Colorado. Utah, California, Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho. The
same sentiment is expressed by
many other travellers.
Starting at the river on the east
slope and continuing to the railroad
tracks on the south slope. dis
tance of IL to 15 miles, the new
orchards, set out this spring forms
a girdle of peach, apple, sweet
cheerv, apricot and pear trees.
The trees have thrifty look, toe,
and are making remarkable
growth. The strip is not wide
one. averaging probably quarter
of mile. but it is the foundation
for one of the richest, most varied
and most productive fruit belt in
the entire country if not in the
world. Hood River has its apples
and strawberries, the Grand valley
its peaches. California its Tokav
and Muscat grapes, but the Emmett 4
country has them all and more,
too, of equal and in many cases
superior quality,
The bench land is not far behind
the slope in fruit development,
though apple trees constitute the
principal fruit acreage. Scattered
all over the 10000 acres Of that
now famous bench land are young
orchards of 40, 20. 10 and 5 acre
tracts The loose character of the
soil, its almost perfect drainage and
its fertility is shown by the rapid
growth OF the young trees.
Close to 2000 acres of fruit trees
were planted this spring. The
only reason at least a third more
were not planted is due to inability
to secure nursery stock. Next {
spring this acreage will be doubled,
and each succeeding spring large
additions will be made, until the ;
whole valley, from the north foot {
hills to the south foot hills, and /
from the eastern range of hills to
will be one immense {
orchard of $4,000 to 100, 600 acres. f
This is pretty big statement, but
it is sure to happen. Then EN-
nett fruit will be shipped to all
parts of the world and the Emmett
trade mark will be a sign of all
hat is best in the fruit line.
The strong feature of the Emmett
:ruit country is its freedom from
ailures. 1t has never had fruit
allure and it probably never will.
This year was the closest, but there
s an abundance of fruit of all kinds
o supply local consumption and
arge quantities are being shipped n
o less favored sections. The v
of this section to diver. D
ified fruit growing is also another s
trong point The orchardist does +
lot need to depend upon one kind "
# fruit. While the Emmett peach o
nd the Emmett prune are acknow- b
edged to be the best that grows in p
nv section, there is no question a
nut that the Emmett apple will b
axe equal rank and become as G
amous as the Hood River brand. O
In view of these facts, keep your S
ye on the Emmett country.

FAVOR OLD SOLDIERS.
Land Office Decides Boys in
Blue Entitled to Consid-
Grafton.

The Boise land Office last week
decided the contest case of the gov
ernment against Daniel H. Scott OF
Emmett in favor of the defendant
on the grounds that an entryman,
Especially veteran of the Civil war
who shows by conclusive proof that
he acted in good faith to reside on
his land and cultivate it, should
BOT be discouraged by the govern
ment because he has not, possibly
through ignorance of the home
stead laws. complied with them all
IN every particular.
Mr.. Scott's homestead is on the
south branch of the Boise river, in
Elnore county. He made entry
November 1, 1905, under the old
soldiers homestead law. Final
proof was offered October 9. 1907,
but was suspended on protest of the
forest service on the ground that
claimant had not maintained re-
sidence on the land and that none
of it had been cleared and cul-
tivated. The hearing was held
at Mountainhome during April and
May. That portion of the opinion
of the register and receiver relating
to the consideration to which Civil
war veterans are entitled is as fol-
lows:
'It further appears this entry
man served in the Union army dur
ing the war of the rebellion. He
enlisted November 16, 1861, and
was discharged from the service
on December 80, 1864, having
served under the flag of his coun-
try during those trying times for a
period of three years, one month
and thirteen days. He is entitled |
to have this time added to his re-
sidence on this land. making to-
tai of FIVE years and twenty-five |
days to his credit. The charge
that the entryman did not establish |
Or maintain residence on the land
is completely disprove and more
over. it is shown he maintained
such residence, as added to his
srvice, entitled him to
make proof October ~, 1907.
The government has not vet for
gotten TIE services of those who fol-
owed its flag on the hard fought
,attle fields of the rebellion; it has
llways desired to advance their in
eres's in every possible wav; it
las always been its wish that those
Who thus served it should be given
very opportunity within the law
o secure homes from the public
omain. Daniel II. Scott is vet
an of that war, having served more
han three years. In his old age

ised by his testimony, largely in
earch of health he entered this !

Energetic Paul Gilmore, who will
play the star part in the great New
York success, "The Boys of Company
B." on February 27th. 1909 at the Ore
gon Theatre is most fortunate in the

agent, is so surrounded with friends
as he is-and always the best of peo-

Mr.. Gilmore is as good a diner-out
as he is an actor and his engagements
are as numerous as the exigencies OF
his profession will admit. A good
story teller, a man we'll informed on

MODOCS To Be
SENT TO OREGON
ENILED INDIANS WILL
BE RETURNED TO OLD HOME
After More Than Third of Century
Small Surviving Band of Famous
Tribe VIII be Returned to the Land
of the Setting Sun-Ranlls sadly
Dccimated Since Deportation.

After weary wait of more than a
third of a century, Captain Jacks
band of Modoc Indians are about to
be permitted to return TO their old
homes in the land of the setting sun.
Following their disastrous warfare on
the white settlers in oregon in 1874,
these Indians were exiled to Indian
Territory where they were placed
upon the Quapaw Reservation. At
that time there were 271 of them, but
before a year had elapsed the number
was reduced to 157. BY 1877 there
were not more than 112, and at the
present time there are only 40. In
report recently made to the senate
by Senator Curtis, of Kansas, himself
an Indian, he says:
This rapid decrease seems to be
the result of mental anxiety caused
by their enforced separation from
family and friends"
Senator Curtis report recommends
the senate passage of a bill, which
has already received the approval of
the House, and which authorizes the
return of these aborigines to their
former homes in the klamath Reser-
walton in Oregon, where an allotment
OF land is now going on, and in which
they would be enabled to participate
If there.
Senator Curtis says in his report
that the Modocs, Notwithstanding
their record of IA, are extraordinar-
lily good workers. He also says there
are no drunkards among them, and
that they are careful and economi-
CAL" 1t is quite probable that the
bill will pass the Senate.
