PURCHASED THE FOUNDRY.
Gunderson a Durant Become the
Owners First of the Week.

A few weeks ago an article ap-
peared in the columns of this paper
conveying the information that Max
Leohart had purchased the foundry
and would take control at once. The
deal, which was practically closed
at the time we went to press,
fell through a few days later, and
the foundry was again thrown on
the open market
Owing to the bright prospects
for the Gunderson-Durat sage brush
grubbing machine and the large
amount of castings this firm will
require. that they decided to take
over that business themselves and
operate the foundry in connection
with their machine and shop and
manufacturing establishment
They have completed all the pat
terms for their machine, and some
were sent to Nampa some time ago
for casting. They have been unable
to get any satisfaction with the
Nampa people and have ordered the
models returned and will make the
castings in their own foundry. A
completed machine will be on the
market in a short time, and its
workings will be watched with a
great deal of interest.

Train 55 left the track at the new
Medbury townsite Sunday and tied up
traffic for two days. Engines 951
and 1898, which were pulling the
train, are still off the track, the
former tipped on its side. The wreck
was caused by an open switch to the

being left open by the crew engaged
in making electrical connections. A
short stretch of the track was built
around the derailed engines and is
still in use for the passing of trains.

Daily Tribune of Florence:
Painting James O'Connor" has a
scheme by which he travels all over
the country puts up at the best hotel
gets his fare paid on passenger trains,
and his only eXertion is to faint at
the proper time. The time and dis
lance between O'Connor's fainting
fits depends upon the extent of the
charity which he experiences from
the cold, cruel world on each occas-
ion. uls last fainting fit was in
Florence yesterday afternoon, but he
tainted in Pueblo, Monday, in Denver
one week earlier, in Dubuque. Dav-
export and ualf a dozen other cities
between Chicago and Pueblo.
O'Connor's scheme is to 20 into a
restaurant. order a meal, eat it and
then fall TO the floor in a faint I'm
mediately an ambulance is summoned
and he is taken to hospital. nursed,
fed, given nice room and allowed
to remain until he decides he is able
to go on. He usually puts mp such a
pluful story that he secures a sman
amount of change from the hospital
and gets his transportation
squared TO the next station or per-
haps for the next division of the rail-
road. He was sent to Florence from
here by the kindly inclined and was
given a little money. He said that he
had friends in Florence who would
help him. He had better friends
farther up the road and relatives at
Grand Junction, but the people who
befriended him here couldn't see him
safely to his relatives. They did best
they could and sent him to Florence.
Yesterday he tainted just after a
hearty meal at Florence. He hasn't
paid for that meal that caused him
to faint in Pueblo and he didn't pay
for the one that caused him to faint
at Florence. The good people of
Florence are keeping Painting

In another column a list of those
who will plant new orchards is given
and we reproduce from this list only
the names of Grand valley people
well known here:
The planting of not less than 900
acres of new orchards this spring is
an assured fact That figure is
| conservative estimate. A list of 945
acres is given below and The Index
did not get near all of them. Many
old orchards will be increased, some
doubled, others tripled and quad
rupled OF these no record is made.
The record given herewith is all on
new land. Probably so per cent of
the trees planted will be apples of the
Jonathan and Rome Beauty varieties,
and two-thirds of the acreage will be
set on the bench. Peach trees take
up the greater part of the remaining
acreage, and probably 20 acres of
California grapes will be planted.
still larger acreage would be planted
If the trees could be secured. The
nurseries all over the country are
swamped with orders and their stocks
are exhausted.
So far as The Index has been able
to learn. the following is the list of
those who will set out trees and the
acreage of each:
