The Great Art Of pyino,

To die without rebellion and without
weakness is the masterpiece of man.
A mountain guide-whose name the
London Daily Mail does not mention
in narrating the story of his heroism-
with two others, was leading a party
over one Of the most dangerous passes
of the higher Alps.
The men, as Is usual, were tied to-
gether by long rope. AS they scaled
a wall Of ice they slipped on the
edge Of frightful chasm. The guide
was at the end Of the rope.
Without his weight there was a
chance for the others to regain their
footing; with it, his experienced eye
told him, there was none. With in
slant courage he drew his knife from
his belt and said quietly to the man
next him:
"Tell mother how it happened, Ed
mond.' =.
He cut the rope ana fell, never to be
seen again.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 12.-The bum
per furit crop from the Boise, Pay
cite and Weiser valleys will net the
raisers this year the lump sum of
$1,900,0O0 in profits. No less than
1000 carloads of fruit, consisting of
apples, prunes, pears and peaches,
will be shipped out of this district.
These are the estimates of Charles
j. Sinsel, the authority on fruit and
extensive packer of this city, who
has just returned from an inspec-
ton Of the crop.
The fruit crop for 1910 will be
by far the greatest ever gathered in
the state. This is true of all sections
and all kinds of fruit. In many
places, in spite of the fact that the
orchards have been hand-thinned, the
trees are breaking down beneath
their burdens.
The Payette Valley reports an
enormous crop of cantaloupes and
shipping already has begun Five
carloads have been billed to the far
East and on an average a carload a
day will be shipped for month.
Two carloads of early apples have
been shipped each day to Chicago
and New York. Payette is receiving
heavy demand for Duchess and
Transparent apples from Eastern
points. 1t is said that the Payette
orchards this year are absolutely free
from worm and scale. Between 700
and $50 carloads of fruit will go out
OF there this year. Prune packing
will begin by August Is.
Caldwell reports are bright. There
is bumper crop in the great NJ. NJ.
George orchard This is also true
OF the Emmett bench country, where
between 40 and so carloads of fine
prunes will be shipped this month
In and about Nampa the apple and
prune crop this year could hardly be
improved on. Parma, the shipping
point for the Charles Payne orchard
as Roswell, reports 80 carloads of
prunes and 80 carloads of Winesap
apples. The Twin Falls country will
send out a big crop.
Under the present estimates there
will be 1900 cars of prunes. Count
ing 1000 crates to the car, this gives
100000 crates Each crate con-
tains four baskets, making a total
of 4,S0O,0O0 baskets. No less than
$4,000 will be expended by fruit
raisers for prune crates alone.
There will be 100 carloads of ap-
pies with $50 boxes to the car, max
ing a total of 100000 boxes, costing
II cents each, a total of $76,600.
Prunes should net the grower
from $500 to 500 car, and apples
from $500 to $1,000 a car.
In face of the great crop it re-
quires no small amount of fore
thought and financing to get mater
ials in which to pack Idaho fruit
this year. A new system of packing
apples has been adopted by several
of the big packers whereby each ap-
pie is carefully wrapped and placed
in a pasteboard compartment with
double sides. The pasteboard lay
ers somewhat resemble the tiers
used in packing eggs, except that
with the apples there is absolutely
no chance of a bruise. The COM
partments vary in size to accommo-
date the apples. 1t is hoped by this
system to get Idaho apples to Lon
don, Berlin and Paris without a
bruise. The packers believe that
this medium of preserving their
fruit will give them ready market
