on the Table.

The House Committee on Agricul
ture on Wednesday April 18th de
termined to lay upon the table the
Lafean bill providing for a standards
cation of apples and the packages
boxes, or barrels in which they were
packed.
This measure has been discussed
quite thoroughly and was vigorously
urged at elaborate hearings for the
committee as wen as by Representa-
tive Lafean himself
1t was feared By the committee
however that the effect Of pushing
the bill to passage, should that have
proved possible, would have been to
the producer. so the bill
was practically rejected by being laid
on the table.
The greatest opposition 10 the
bill came from the northwest fruit
growing sections. Idaho, oregon and
The claim being made
by those who opposed it that the
apple industry OF this section has
been built up and developed upon a
box OF a certain size and that the
passage OF the bill would mean
readjustment Of the entire
system of fruit packing in the north
west
The bill was originally reported to
congress by Mr.. Larean in March
IF last year

BRIDGE NOW REPAIRED
READY FOR TRAFFIC

After many delays caused by high
water in the Payette the Payette
Valley R. R. bridge across the Payette
river is again ready for traffic. The
last piling were driven this evening
and by Friday morning the rails win
be lined up and everything ready for
the Payette Valley train to once
more arrive and depart from the
union depot. The bridge crew have
experienced considerable difficulty in
putting the bridge in this time. The
height of the water in the river
and the swift current has made the
handling Of piling not only difficult
but Very dangerous and consequently
the work has been much slower and
much more expensive.

JACK FROST
OUTWITTED AGAIN
Fruit Growers of Grand Valley Colo
rado Forced to Fight All Night
With Orchard Heaters to Save
crop-smudge Pots Win Again.

It will be interesting TO the fruit
growers OF this valley who have not
as yet been called upon to use the
orchard heaters extensively this spring
to learn that in the famous Grand
Valley, Colorado, the growers have
been smudging hard and constantly
off and on since March 29th and that
on the night of Friday, April 18th
they were forced to light the orchard
heaters at 9;15 in the evening and
from that time on by strenuous ef-
forts and the assistance OF a large
number Of the citizens of the city
OF Grand Junction the pots were kept
going all night long until early morn
hg and the fruit crop was saved.
In speaking of the work done that
night the Daily News published in
Grand Junction in its issue of Sat
urday the 10th says:
"A long loud blast from a whistle
al 9:15 last night announced to the
ranchers that a traitor was in camp
and the warning went forth to put
him out. Within a half hours time
the House OF a Thousand Candies"
was no comparison to the Grand
Valley of ten tens of thousands of
smudge pots which by that time had
been lighted to combat Jack Frost, I
the traitor Following the whistle |
the fire bell rang a long warning and |
the battle was on. At this hour
the government thermometer regist- /
cred a point a degree or two above |
freezing while other sections of the
valley the ranchers' thermometers
varied from 2S to 80 degrees.
The Grand Valley from the upper
to the lower end was illumined with
myriads of tiny fires each contribut-
ing its mite in making the entire
work success. From 9:15 until
late this morning the warfare was
waged and the smudging was the
most thorough ever attempted in
this valley or in any fruit raising dis
trict Facing great odds a prepond-
arous task was accomplished that
three years ago would not have been
dreamed Of"
This will interest fruit growers of
this section, who while they have
been prepared and constantly watch
ing have not yet been called upon
to battle with Jack Frost as he has
not up to this time appeared in a
dangerous form. Two or three !
alarms have been sent out and one {
1r two growers have thought best !
% be on the safe side and smudge.
Yet taken as a whole there has been
10 general smudging done as it has \
lot been necessary. The demon s
itration coming from Grand Valley {
s however of great benefit to our !
growers as they have demonstrated
hat even with an entire night of (
dangerous weather with the thermom- q
ter constantly threatening, that a
ruit crop can be saved and while t
'ur growers will in all probabilities t
Tot be called upon to smudge so /
ong and constantly, yet to those t
Who have installed the orchard heat I
II it win be some satisfaction to f
,now that if necessary they are
quipped to successfully ward off i
ack Frost for an entire night p

BASE BALL SIDELIGHTS

L%angdon's ball team still continues to
maintain its winning streak and has
quite a long string of games won to their
credit. In fact it has only lost three,
the first of these being one lost to Hamp-
den during the early part of the season
and more recently two which Dresden
is feeling big over having taken from
the county seat bunch Last Sunday
our boys played at Wales in the after
uoon and brought back home with them
in the evening the big end of a score of
7 to 8. Monday they had a big double
header event, playing afternoon and
evening games with Clyde on the local
grounds. Both games were gathered in
by the home boys, the one in the after
noon won by a score of 5 to 3 and even
ming game by a score of 3 to l. Lang
don is this season showing better team
work than ever it did and the support
given their pitcher, Patton, could not
have been better than that shown in the
games of Monday.
The home team will play at Osnabrock
today. In their last contest the locals
won by a good percentage. A fast game
is expected.
There will be a game between the
Walhalla and Langdon teams on the
