O.S. issues Warming.

The Oregon Short Line in view Of
the usual coal shortage when cold
weather sets in has issued the fol-
lowing circular letter dated Salt Lake
City, June "a. 1909 and issued to all
concerned:
Attention of coal consumers is
invited to reduced rates from mining
points in effect June. July and August,
1909. These rates We're published
with the idea that the difference
would go to the purchaser during the
life of the summer tariffs as an in
oucement for storing coal for the
winter. If all those able to do so
will fill their bins now, leaving coal
mined and shipped during winter
months available for supplying the
needs of those unable to buy except
in small quantities. it will do much
to relieve the situation during the
winter of 19O9-l91O
With this end in view the railroad
companies are now storing large
quantities of coal to partially provide
in advance for their own needs. The
cooperation Of all consumers is re-
spectfully solicited and will be APP
preciated.
Last fall this city experienced a
shortage when the cold weather set
that it compelled the citizens
to go to the depot and cut car out
of the regular train for relief OF
those who were without coal for
warmth. The railroads did much tc
relieve the situation but were unable
to entirely supply everyone. This
year a special effort is made by the
railroad company to avert any short
age when cold weather comes on anc
a special effort should be made on the
part of consumers to supply future
needs now while the prices are re-
duced and the supply is plentiful.
There should be no occasion foi
coal shortage this fall and should one
occur little relief can be expected
from the railroad company especially
in view of the efforts they are max
ing to supply every one at this time.

Colorado Fruit Districts Visited And the
Use of Smudging Found Successful
and Strongly Recommended

three years they would take great
strides on the high way to wealth.
Mr.. Price said he ran down every
rumor he heard about anyone who
lost his fruit who had used the
smudges and he did not find one that
was true. He also failed to find one
orchardist that had a crop who did
not use the smudges-
The oil smudges were the favorite
ones used as they required much
less work to handle and operate.
smudge pot is placed in every
square in the orchard. Each orchard
has a thermometer alarm. When the
mercury drops to the danger point it
rings an alarm in the bedroom of the
orchardist. This gives him time to
get up and start the fires. He can
then retire and if the mercury
drops again to the danger point the
alarm again rings and notifies him.
Everybody in that part of Color
ado is jubilant over the success of the
smudges. Bankers told Mr.. Price
that if the fruitgrowers had lost their
crops this year, which would have
been the third season in succession,
it would have bankrupted the county
in which Grand Junction is.
Mr.. Price has ordered about Is of
the pots and a barrel Of oil which he
expects will arrive in a day or two
and then he Will give a number OF
demonstrations for the benefit of the
orchardists who have not seen them
operated He strongly advocates
that the orchardists should supply
themselves with the pots and lay in q
supply of oil and always be ready fol
an emergency. He cites many in
stances where if something like this
had been used by growers herein
seasons past they would have made
thousands of dollars by it, The oil
does not waste if it is not used anc
can be kept on hand in tanks. He
says there is scarcely a season but
what the crops would be better il
entirely protected from frosts. Las
year the crop was unusually large
in the entire valley. but he says
unusually more or less damage i:
done by frosts. By this he mean
that while the growers have had wha
is called good crops they could have
better ones if the fruit was absolutel.

Violated Pure Food Law.

Three cases involving the infrac-
tion of the pure food laws of Idaho
We're disposed of last week before
Judge William c. Dunbar The
complaints were sworn to by State
Pure Food Commissioner James H.
Wallis. One charged the CONNER
cial Creamery with selling Cascade
butter of short weight. This is the
outcome of the seizure made on Satur-
day last by Commissioner Wallis.
Before taking any steps in the matter
that official went to several of the
stores in the city and had them weigh
up their butter on their own scales.
He then took a short weight package,
sealed it with his official stamp and
paid for it, securing a receipt for the
same from the retail dealer showing
the weight Of the product. When he
had secured about a half dozen Of
such packages he went TO the cream
cry and weighed up box full Of
their butter. finding it all snort and
seized the entire amount. estimated
then at 500 pounds.
This is the first case under the new
law. Upon a plea Of guilty being
entered by manager Goodhue Of the
Commercial Cream Co.. the butter
was released and fine Of SIS imposed,
which was paid
Commissioner Wallis stated that
the cases he intended bringing against
the retail merchants from whom he
purchased the short weight butter,
will not be prosecuted, as he is
confident they will be very careful
in the future and see that the butter
they sell comes up to the weight re-
quired under the law.

There is absolutely no doubt that
smudge pots will save the fruit crop.
They will save it from frosts in any
fruit district in the United States. -
This is the statement of F. E.
Price. who returned last Friday from
a trip of inspection to the fruit dis
tricts of Colorado where this year the
orchardists saved thousands of dollars
worth of fruit by the use Of smudges.
Mr.. Price was sent on this trip by
the Commercial club.
''It is a fact, continued Mr. Price.
that the orchardists at Grand juno
tion and Palisade who used the
smudges have a full crop of fruit and
those who did not use them have
practically no fruit at all. went
through dozens of orchards there
where l couldn't find piece of fruit,
and | went through dozens of others
where the crop was full because
smudge pots had been used.
Mr.. Price said that since his return
home many of the orchardists here
could scarcely believe it possible that
the snudges would do as much as
claimed for them. They doubted if
the crop could have been saved in the
Payette Valley this season. Mr..
Price says that the temperature went
10 degrees lower at Grand Junction
than it did here and on some of the
cold nights a brisk wind was blowing
still the smudges did effective work.
He says the matter of expense is
insignificant as the cost of smudging
will not likely amount to more than
$25 an acre-that is a high estimate
and would probably amount to con
siderably less. But even if the cost
was much more, still it would be
worth while to provide and use the
smudges as with them he says every
orchardist would be absolutely sure
of his crop, there coulo be no failures
Think what that would mean to
this or any other fruit district p alb
solutely guaranteed against failures.
1t would greatly increase the value
of land and give assurance TO the in
vestor who pays a thousand dollars
or more for orchards. 1t is saio
that Payette never before lost a cror
of fruit, but there have been years
when the frost has killed a large
share of the fruit in many orchards
By the use of smudge pots, Mr.. Price
says every orchardist could be GER
tain of full crop every year. Th,
crop in the Payette Valley. whether j.
is heavy or light, doesn't affect the
general market one iota. So if th'
