, Praises Emmett Schools.

Professor w. S. Morley, teacher
of mathematics in the state univer-
sity, was an Emmett visitor Friday.
He is making a tour of inspection
of the schools of southern Idaho, and
his mission in this city was to note
the condition and methods of teach
ing in the schools here. To The
Index he expressed his surprise and
delight at the enrolment of the city
schools and the thorough methods of
instruction employed in them. His
praise of the work being done by
both teachers and pupils was un-
stinted. His only criticism was the
crowded condition of the rooms and
the need of the High school for
more adequate quarters in which to
pursue their work. II hope" he
said, Emmett will remedy these
objections at the approaching bond
election and provide facilities equal
to those of neighboring towns. 1t
will be severe blow to the city's
growth as well as to her educational
institutions if your people do not"

Concil meeting

The new city officers got down to
business Tuesday night. The com
mittee on lights reported in favor
of. locating the 10 additional arc
lights as follows. First and Nc
Kinley. Third and Mckinley, Sec
oRd and Johns. Fourth and Johns,
Fifth and Washington, Third and
Commercial, Second and Boise,
Locust and DeClark avenue (way
out at Jack Young's), and near B.
B. Davis residence. No action
was taken on the report and it is
probable the council will change
the location of several lamps, so as
to give light 20 D. & c. addition
and one or two dark places in the
center of town. The watermaster
was instructed to take a trip to
Nampa for the purpose of getting
pointers on that city's system of
keeping waterworks accounts. Sew
eral parties having signified their
intention to take city water it the
mains were extended one block
farther east. the matter was refer
red to water committe to ascertain
cost. The committee on FIRE was
instructed to furnish the rear room
in city hall with bed and mattress,
ETC.. and permit two persons to
sleep there to answer FIRE alarms.

day morning of last week and pres
ented Bishop and Mrs. David Mel
son sweet little baby girl. He
didn't have time to tarry long at
the Nelson home, having decided
to present Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Allen
with a handsome black eyed cherub
of the feminine gender the sane day.
Ed Allen himself tried to persuade
Sir Stork that he would rather have
a boy, if it was all the same to said
Stork, but he was informed that the
stock of boys was low, there being
only two left. one of which he had
promised to deliver to AL Pollard
the following day, and the other
he had promised to Abe Miller as
a grandson on Monday. He was as
good as his word. too, and Mr..
and Mrs. Pollard and Mr.. and Mrs.
Hiram Miller received their wee
bits of masculjnity on schedule
time. Between time, on Saturday

eyed girl at~the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Calender.

REAL ESTATE ACTIVE.
In Spite of Cold Weather
Many Deals are Made.

There seems to be no sign Of 6
slump in the demand for Emmett
fruit lands. The old man at Medi
cine Hat may mix his brew oi
weather and send his cold blasts
scooting over the country like
March hares, but when an inven.
tory is taken it is found that EN-
NETT fruit suffered less from frost
than any other section in the west,
and Emmett lands are as stable as
sugar.
The sales this week, including
the Nelson block. hit the $50, GOO
mark. as follows:
Henry Ray to J. w. Cook and
D. M. Johns, 116 acres bench at
$1,000.

FIRST GAME SUNDAY.
Prune Pickers Will Go Up
Against Beet Diggers.

The opening games of the Canyon
county baseball league will be played
Sunday, with Emmett at Nampa and
Caldwell at Boise. The schedule
will be the same as published last
week. except the dates are one week
later, the season will close July 10,
and Boise will take Payette's place.
This action was decided upon last
Sunday by the representatives of
towns interested, at a meeting held
at Nampa. Boise was substituted in
place of Payette on account of being
closer to the other three towns and
because the gate receipts will be
considerably increased. 1t was also
decided that games scheduled at
Boise on dates that will conflict with
these of the Intermountain league
shall be played at the home of the
opposing team.

VOTE FOR THE BONDS.

Next Wednesday afternoon from
to z o'clock the qualified voters OF
this School district will again be
given an opportunity to vote upon
the proposition to issue bonds in The
sum Of $33. 900 for school purposes.
Upon the result will rest the future
OF the schools of this district. If
the bonds are carried. all deficiency
warrants will be taken up, the
teachers will be paid for their years
work, and additional buildings erect
ed sufficient to accommodate the con-
stantly increasing number of school
children in this growing community.
II the bonds are defeated it will
mean Emmett's splendid school
system will be crippled to such an
extent as to make it a Second-class
school instead of the up-to-date in
stitution which this community de-
mands, expects and is entitled to.
Every resident of this district,
whether he is so fortunate as to have
children to send to school or not,
should think twice before casting
vote to defeat a proposition that has
for its object giving the children of
the district the best educational ad-
yantages possible to secure and plac-
ing the schools on plane in nowise
inferior to those of surrounding
towns.
Vote for the bonds.

new BUSINESS BLOCK
FOR MAIN STREET
w. T. Crouch Buys Nelson
Corner-Wil Build Store
Rooms and Theater.

Along with the many goot
things coming Emmett's way thi
spring is a modern pressed bricl
business block, which will contain
six store rooms, four suites O
offices aud modern theater.
w. T. Crouch, the real estate
man, is the one who will build it
On Monday he closed the deal
for the Nelson corner at Main an6
Washington streets. with frontage
of 60 feet and depth of 148 feet.
The price paid was $4,000, or $50
a front foot.
On this ground Mr. Crouch will
at once begin work on two story
building, and architects are already
busy getting out the plans. The
building will occupy the entire
space.
The lower floor will contain six
store rooms. three with depth of
80 feet fronting on Main street,
and three go feet deep fronting on
Washington.
The Main street front will con-
tain four office rooms, each 15x16,
and the balance, 120x60. will be
turned into modern playhouse.
The theater entrance will be on
Washington street. The building
will be constructed of pressed
brick, of the same color as the
Bank of Emmett building. and will
be trimmed with cut stone. The
building will be steam heated and
equipped with hot and cold water.
The estimated cost of the structure
is $25. 600.
The site of this new business
house is one of the most desirable
in town. 1t is part of what is
known as the Methodist church
block. which was sold by the
church people in 1900 to ]. w.
Cook and Arthur Richards for
$4,000. Forty feet of the ground
was sold by Cook and Richards to
]. L. Steward for $4,000 and Andy
Nelson bought the balance for
$1,000. Nelson still owns 35 feet
between the Crouch and Steward
holdings.

all right, but the early ones have
been badly injured on the fiat. c.
P. Hartley, who has been engaged
in fruit growing in this county
for 40 years, says the weather of
the past three weeks is the worst
in his experience and the damage
greater. The fact that while near
ly all peach sections report q total
loss, the loss in the Emmett
country is only partial. is convinc-
ing proof of the practical immunity
from frost of the Emmett fruit lands
under ordinary conditions and
places the stamp of superiority on
the upper Payette valley for fruit
culture.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1909-04-22
Effect of Frost

Crops in the entire country be-
tween the Cascade mountains and
the Missouri river have been ser
iously damaged by the unprecedent-
ed cold weather of the past three
weeks. The fruit crop has especi-
ally suffered, the loss being almost
total in a large portion of the area.
which includes Washington, Ore
gon. Utah. Colorado and this
state. So far as this section is con-
cerned, Emmett as usual is more
fortunate than most fruit districts.
While fruit on the fats is consider
ably injured, the damage on the
slope is only partial. In that To-
cality there will be fair crop of
peaches. cherries and early apples.
The damage to apricots is streak
ed, some orchards scarcely being
injured, while others have little or
no fruit. The same condition ex-
lists as to the pfune crop both on
the fats and slope. Henry Kuck-
ku, who has charge of the Hayes
orchard, says the yield will be as
large as last year. On the bench,
only one orchard has peach trees
large enough to bear. This is on
the Workman place. Three B.
year-old trees are loaded with
bloom and Mr.. Worthman says
they ale not injured. In the Bram-
we'll district the fruit is reported in
good condition and there will be
lots Of peaches. cherries and april
cots. The winter apple buds are

VOTE FOR THE BONDS

Progression and not retro
gression should be the slogan
of the people of Emmett. The
prophecy on the mayors store,
Watch Emmett Crow" at
the Canyon canal opening last
May, is coming true. A vote
for the school bonds means a
move in that direction. From
a commercial standpoint we
ought to do it to meet the com
petition of the progressive
towns in the Payette Valley.
Those who are coming into this
locality, the new population,
demand it. A vote for the
bonds means an increase in the
value of property not only in
the city. but throughout the
whole valley. Let US vote for
our best interests.

Goats as Trail Makers.

The bruSh-eating instinct OF the An

OnStrated On the Lassen national for
est IN California. where they are cut
tins trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes Of the
mountains.
The animals. which number 5000.
have been divided into two bands. and
under the care Of the herders are
grazed within certain w~cll-defned
areas, so that their work may be con-
centrated Oh the brush within these
limits. The result is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
IN the course either by eating it up
entirely, or by barking. as in the
case OF the heavy ~rl2nzanita bushes.
At the beginning of the experiment
there was some doubt as to the goats
