RUMORS OF EXTENSION
Idaho Northern Has Orders
to Extend at Once

There are very persistent ru-
ors that orders have been issued by
the Oregon Short Line to
extend the Icaho Northern railroad
from Emmett to Marsh this fall and
to prepare to extend the road
to the lakes next spring.
Whether there is any foundation
for these rumors cannot be ascertain
ed at the Nampa offices, but the
activity of the Dewey officials in
securing right of way out of En-
NETT and steady work of surveying
crews along theriver and the mys-
terious journeys up the river of
Chief Engineer Stladly of the
Short Line and Fred Barnes
would indicate that would be
something doing in the near future.

Smelter at the Bend.

The establishment of a smelter a!
Horseshoe Bend, to treat the ores OF
that district, is announced in let
ter just received by George Everret,
foreman of the Hi Henry coal mine,
from Hi Henry, who is in New York
for purpose Of consulting with cap
! italtsts in this matter, saye the
Capital News.
Mr.. Henry states in his letter
that he is negotiating with the Nc
Keever brothers, controlling owners
of the Osborn mine, and that prac-
tically all the details have
been worked out. II has been known
to the miners of this district that
a mixture of ores mined in this dis
trict made an ideal charge
for smelling. but the difficulty has
been that no suitable fuel could be
obtained at a reasonable cost. Mr..
Henry claims that the fuel ques-
tion has been solved by the coal
produced from his mines, and the
matter "of showing" the men who
are interested in a smelter has been
in progress for several months past.
The building of a smelter at Horse
shoe Bend means much to the min
ing interests at Pearl, Horseshoe
Bend and all along the river to
the lakes, for it makes the min
ers independent of conditions that
have heretofore made it a disadyant-
age to them, and already number
of properties have begun clean
ing up preparatory to resuming op-
erations. There are in that section

PEACHES ARE MONEY
MAKERS
The West Orchard Has Al
ready Yielded Over
$500 Worth

Every box of peaches raised in
the Emmett country this year has
been money maker for the grower
Fifteen dollars a tree was not an
unusual thing, and some ran as
high as $40 In the hank on Monday
the West brothers deposited $500,
the proceeds from the sale of a
portion of their peach crop and they
will have $100 more to place to
th@ir credit from this source. The
West orchard is small, lying in a
gulch that splits the foothills east
II town for a few hundred yards.
The water supply comes from spring
above the orchard. Never since the
trees began bearing has there been
a failure, and the products of this
little orchard have been a veritable
gold mine to Ats owners.
John Martin, whose farm lies on
the hillside of the butte east of the
Knox brothers ranch, has made big
money from his peach crop. He has
only a family orchard in bearing, but
so far this year he has sold 200
btzes of Elbertas at $1.20 per box,
which means a total of $40. He
las a young peach and cherry
orchard coming on which will large
ly add to his output. This orchard
is in the same class as the West
orchard-it has never had fall

CHARLTON CASE MAY
SOLVE EXTRACTION LAW

Notice of the reported intention of the
Italian government to request the extra
dition of Porter Charlton has not been
received at the state Department.
In the absence Of official information,
officers of the department decline 10 dis
cuss the probable action OF the United
States. Il Is apparently the intention OF
the italian foreign Office to put the mat
ter up 10 the state Department and to
impose upon Secretary Of State Knox the
responsibility for declining TO extradite
Charlton.
1t is believed here that the State De-
partmeat viii be willing TO surrendeF him
to Italy for trial only on the condition
that Italy viii assent 20 the State De-
partment's Interpretation that the extra
dition treaty between the two countries
contemplated the surrender of the citl-
zens OF either government to the other
