All who were so fortunate as to hear

MeeYil on the Run.

]. Edward Taylor, state horticultural
inspector of Utah, is greatly pleased
with the progress being made in the
elimination of the alfalfa weevil from
the fields of the state, and expresses
the hope that the coming Of the weevil
may prove to be a blessing in dis
guise.
at is an unusual thing" he says,
that the alfalfa crops of this state
should have been kept in so g0od a
condition as they are at present for
a period of IS years without any cul-
tivation. One of the ways OF combat
ting the present alfalfa weevil IS to
cut the crop early and cultivate the
soil so as to stir up the dust which
then kills the weevil. In this way, D
general cleaning up Of the alfalfa
fields takes place and this not only
kills !he weevil, but cleans thu land
stirs up the soil and improves the con-
dltions generally"

HOBO KILLED
At PAYETTE

At about eight o'clock last Satur-
day morning a tramp Fastening into
town announced that a man had
been killed by the cars and that
his body was lying beside the track
about a half mile west of the depot.
DR.. Woodward was notified and he
with a number of others fastened to
the scene of the accident where the
man was found lying in the water in
the ditch beside the track. Life
was not extinct so the unfortunate
man was placed upon a hand car and
brought to the depot and at once
taken to the office of the Doctors
Woodward where an effort was
made to save the mans life. The
left arm and right hand were ampu-
tated and other wounds dressed by
DR.. ]. G. Woodward, but the injuries
and the shock coupled with the ex-
posture had been too great, and the
man died within an hour or two.
Nothing was found upon the body
by which his identity could be es-
tablished. In his pockets were a
photograph of a woman and also a
little over five dollars in money.
1t is stated that the man was al
various places in Crystal Bottom
but from there he went to WeiseI
where he boarded the east-bound
train. He was probably riding the
blind baggage" but how he happened
to fall from the train or who he was
will probably never be found out. Tit
coroner was notified and came ovel
Saturday evening but he decided tha
an inquest was unn ocessary.-PayettC

The CHICAGO
WOOL MARKET

Chicago, ILL.,, August 25.-The to-
tai receipts this week of sheep and
lambs will show an increase of about
10000 over last week and an increase
of about $4,000 over the correspond
ing week one year ago. Everyone
connected with the sheep trade ex-
pected heavier supplies this week on
account of the very rapid advance we
secured here last week. The in
crease was we'll distributed, there be-
ing more native lambs on sale than
any week for some time and more
westerns offered than any week this
season, until today. However, the
close Of the week, we believe, will
show a falling off and would not be
surprised to see the weeks total show
only a few thousand over last weeks
supply, for the reason that the west
ems for this week are practically all
marketed and we hardly look for
heavy receipts tomorrow or Friday.
We had enough stuff here this week
to enable the packers to break the
market very badly, and native lambs
are 75c to $1.O0 lower than the high
time last Friday, and the westerns
are 40 to Csc lower; that is, the fat
end Of the westerns, while feeders
show a decline Of 10 to 15c since last
week, no feeder lambs having been
sold this week above 6 3-4c, while last
week all the feeders here brought
$685.,
The quality of the western lambs
this week has not been as good as
heretofore, they having more feeders
among them. The killing end rar
lighter and the quality has not beer

gate resources of the state and ma
tional banks in Idaho is $42,782,S56
and their total assessed valuation, in

separately still further reduction Is
made. The total assessed valuation
amounts, therefore, to between 5 and s
per cent of the total resources as re-

Advantages for Beginners in Plane

Advantages Tor Beginners In rl@nO'
The music department of the College
of Idaho is offering unusual opportun-
tiles this year for. beginners In piano,
in a method entirely new to this part
of the country.
The beginners have five lessons a
week at the lowest rate given to any
pupils. They meet the head of the de-
partment once a week, and the remain
der of the week are in the hands OF
capable assistants who meet them for
half hour each OF the remaining four
days. As pupils become capable OF
doing accurate work, unaided, addit-
ional practice is required without sup
ervIslon of an assistant. This method
lnsures accurate practice from the
very beginning and the greatest pos
sible progress in a given time. This
method of work with beginners has
been tried and proven, beyond com"
parison, superior to any other method
The work will under the special
supervision of Miss Grace Johnston

1000 less than the registration and
5000 less than the vote cast at the
general election in November Out of
the 4470 votes the drys got 1852 and
the vets 1908 votes. East and South
Nampa were the only two precincts
to go wet in the entire county. Under
the law the county will go dry at the

HUGHES BOOSTS
The APPLE SHOW

John s. Hughes, representing the
National Apple Show of Spokane. was
in Caldwell Tuesday, for the purpose
of arousing interest among the people
Of Caldwell in the exposition. He met
with the publicity committee TUESDAY
afternoon, but the committe. dt. no:
arrive at a definite conclusion i'll re.
gard to the matter. There lra so many
good methods of advertising that this
year some meretorious ones nav have
20 be overlooked. Tho demand fer
money is too great to take advantage
Of everything that comes uD, although
Caldwell may participate in me Spo-
kane apple show.
Mr.. Hughes feels confident that II
would be a great thing FOR the county
to make a good exhibition at thn shuw.
He suggests that the Boise valley par
ticularize on Jonathan apples and
suggested "the land of tia perfect
Jonathan" as slogan for the valley.
Mr.. Hughes feels confident that CaId-
well could make great showing with
her Jonathan apples. In speaking with
a representative of The Tribune, he
said:
"a great many people DO not under
stand the importance of this meeting.
Strange as it may seem, 1t is not held
for the farmer, but for the buyer, who
is the court of last resort in the apple
business. He is, in other words, the
apple censor of the people and repre-
sents them in his selection. IL he de-
cides that the Jonathan Of southern
Idaho stands pre-eminent among that
species of apple, the benefits which
will accrue to the fruit raisers in this
section are incalculable.
From what have seen Of the J0no-
than in this section Of the state, l
am convinced that it will stand we'll
alongside of that apple grown any
where, and I will go a little further
and say that 1t may eclipse the apple
grown in other sections. The thing for
the Commercial club to do is to send
carload to the exhibit and If this
one apple, or the other species, takes
the palm of excellence, it will be the
best and biggest boost your fruit rails
ing section ever had.
"You have as fine fruit raising
district as can be found anywhere.
Your apples, according to the state
ment of the growers, are second to
none and if you can get reputation
in Chicago, which is the great market
for the Jonathan, you ought not let
slip by an opportunity which will place
section in the same category as the
Hood river country which, as you well
know, has the enviable reputation Of
producing the premier apple"

URGEC COUNTY
TO GET BUSY
Parma Herald

Fair Commissioner Fisk, wife and
two sons returned last Wednesday
from Seattle. During their sojourn in
the exposition city he visited all ad-
jacent points of interest to visitors
and enjoyed several fishing trips.
Mr.. Fisk says that the Idaho exhibit
is becoming one of the best on the
grounds-in fact the counties re-
sponded to the call in such vigorous
manner, with few exceptions, that the
display is now taxing the limit of
space and that he thinks on Idaho
day, September 16, the Idaho exhibit
will equal anything on the grounds.
The walls Of the building on that
day will be covered with grains and
grasses while the ceilings will be ar
tistically festoened with the same ma
terials and as Idaho grains and grass
es can't be beat the effect of this
decoration will be startling.
The commissioner suggests that
Canyon county get in line at once, as
this county is raising grains and
grasses that are not to be beat any
place in the world and this Is one Of
the delinquent counties in this re-
spect.
Commissioner Fisk will leave on
the 14th and will be pleased to meet
all Idahoan's and others who are in
terested in the welfare of the state
on that great day.

Money in MELONS.

From 400 to 500 crates Of canta-
loupes are being expressed from Pay
cite every day now. The Payette VAL
ley Melongrawers' association expects
to ship a carload Saturday which will
likely be the first full carload of the
season. Watermelons are also being
shipped in large quantities.
Yesterday the price Of cantaloupes
dropped from $3.50 and So to 81 and
$3.50. The prospects are that the
growers of melons will make good
money from their acreage this year.

Will CONTEST
The ELECTION

Thursday evenings Capital News
had the following story:
Every possible effort will be made
to contest the dry" election held in
Canyon county yesterday and it is de-
clared by those opposed to prohibition
that already evidence has been secured
which will eventually result in the de-
claring of the election null and void,
according to reliable information re-
ceived in Boise today by the Liberty
league and Ada County Taxpayers
league members. They declare that
they are in receipt of facts on which
proceedings can be started in the
courts for the purpose Of testing the
validity Of the election and the object
Of making showing to declare 1t
illegal. 1t is understood that this in
formation was secured from Canyon
county opponents to local option who
Immediately communicated with those
in Ada county the two forces of both
counties to act comparatively in an
attempt to attack the election.
Cannot Give Out Facts.
II cannot state at this time that &C
ton will be taken against the illegal
election held in Canyon county yes
terday, by those who are in authority
to have the courts declare the election
null and void" stated a prominent
business man of Boise today. He Is
an associate of the Liberty league o.
this city. II am not permitted at this
time to give out any facts as to wha
grounds this action will be taken ex
cept to say that the election wal
clearly illegally held and this show
ing will be made to the courts" h
continued. IL am confident that tn
contention will hold good. In tn
meantime those who propose to shoV
up the election will prepare their lin
of action"
KrOeger Did Not Know.
When seen today Gustave Kroegel
one of the Liberty, league leader
stated that he had not heard that az
ton was going to be taken in an O.
fort to declare the election in Canyo
county illegal and that he did M
know that it was the intention
taking the matter into the courts. M
Kroeger stated, however, that If sue
action was taken on good grounds tn
leaders in Canyon county would b
behind the movement.
There was a comparatively ligf
vote polled in Canyon county yestel
day and the early reports indicate
that the "wets" would win out. Tn
"drys," however, rallied during tn
latter part of the day, consecrate
their fire on the issue and turned OF
enough votes to give them handsom
majority. 1t is supposed that the col
test will be made on the grounds thS
} the election was illegally conducted
many of the precincts and that man

legalized voters.
