The best time for pruning probably

growing season. Any wounds made
ct that time usually heal promptly.
The ounce Is propagated in many
ways. The methods most IN use are
by budding. grating. cutting and
from seed. The method Of propaga-

cuttings should be made from the

The ounce begins to bear early,
usually in two years after planting.
The size OF trees and kind to plant de-
pend TO some extent upon the locality
and the taste Of the grower. Two
year old trees seem to be preferred
BY most planters.
The ounce Is 80 easily grown that
the care required in raising It Is more
than amply repaid By the value Of the
fruit produced. When the ounce is
properly prepared for the table by the
many methods recommended It Is a /
very delicious fruit.
The ounce finds a ready market
and sells at a good price, all depend
ing on the quality. The price paid
the past season ranged from two 70
three and a half cents per pound.
The ounce has been grown ia vari-
Gus localities throughout the United
States since the early days. It's cult
walton Is on the increase and In some
sections we find It planted on a com.
mercial scale. But owing to the fact
that the ounce. including ell the
varieties. Is unfit for eating uncooked
has kept It from taking much promi-

sisting of Robert Hamill, John Nor

being compiled, will be placed in the

Two Decisions.

Judge Steele has given two decisions
of cases tried at the October term of
the Idaho county district court, during
the past week. In the case of Tilly
VS. Root, mortgage foreclosure, the
court decided in favor Of the plain
tiff. Another action in which these
two parties figured was suit on ac-
count and the decision was in favor
Of Mr.. Tilly. Atty Gilmore ap-
peared for the plaintiff.
A decision in another case of i'm
portance was that in favor of the
plaintiff in the action of Sherwin VS.
Gregory, ct AL This was case where
in the defendant had given mort
gage to Phil Sherwin upon unpatented
and unsurveyed lads and later after
securing the patent another mortgage
was given to a bank. Last year
Gregory sold the place to Gill Bros.
and foreclosure proceedings were com.
menced by Sherwin. By the decision
Of the court the priority Of the Sher
win mortgage ia established. Atty
Hardy appeared for the plaintiff.

Cottonwood Wants a New
County Created.
CONFERENCE SATURDAY NIGHT
Cannot Get Together on Com
mon Ground.

This county division fever is bad,
it is worse than an epipemic of
smallpox and spreads like prairie fire.
From Nez Perez, Where they have
been cutting the county in half doz-
en- sections and giving this or that
town a county-seat, it has crossed the
line over in Idaho, and now it is pro-
posed by some Of our citizens on the
west side to cut dear old Idaho county
in twain.
Saturday night, Cottonwood bust
ness men, who are anxious to divide
Idaho county and by so doing make
Cottonwood a county-seat, sent over
George Robertson and A. F. McKin-
ney. two of the best boosters in the
town, to confer with citizens of Grange
vile and vicinity. a meeting was
held at the Inland Abstract office and
it is safe to say for once Grangeville
people turned out The boundaries
as proposed by the Cottonwood people
for the Foster county, as the new
county is to be named if created, are
as follows:
Commencing at point on Snake
river on the line between townships
% and 30 north, intersecting said
river; thence east on Salmon river and
down said river to Rocky Canyon;
thence up said canyon to a point
where the canyon crosses range l, 2
east; thence north to Cottonwood
creek, thence down said creek to the
South Fork OF the Clearwater river;
thence down the river to the mouth OF
Lawyers canyon; thence up lawyer s
canyon to the northwest corner of
township 30, range | west, Boise me-
ridian; thence south to Snake river;
thence up Snake river to place OF be-
ginning.
The proposed east boundary of the
new county would come to point
within six miles of Grangeville, while
to the north of Grangeville the line
would be encountered at about a like
distance. This would leave only
about five townships Of agricultural
land in the old county. Towns, aside
from Cottonwood, that would be in.
cluded in the new county are Winona
Green Creek, Ferdinand, Westlake
and keuterville.
Judging from the opinions expressed
at the conference, Grangeville will
oppose county division but as sug
gested by one wag at the meeting
perhaps if they will only take the
town of Grangeville in the proposed
county all will be well.

Gus petitioners of prominent men in

made that meets with more genuine
satisfaction to Idaho county democracy
than that of Mr.. Hattabaugh, who
as chairman of the county central

ley has used the best Of Judgment and
