A Valuable Apple Tree.

Thirty thousand dollars was the
snm recently offered an Eastern
Washington nursery company for an
apple tree located near Lake Che
Ian. The proffer was made by a
syndicate which desired to propa-
gate the tree. 1t was turned down
by the nursery company, which will
develop the fruit itself. The tree
is twenty years old and is called
the Chelan. The fruit is golden yell
low and is said to be different from

CUMMINGS HEADS COM.
MERCIAL CLUB
Annual Meeting an Enthusi-
astic One and Optimism
Reigns Supreme.

The annual meeting of the Com
mercial Club, held Friday evening,
was a heart warmer. Enthusiasm
was rampant and optimism was
thick enough to cut. Mayor Reilly
struck the key nCte when he said,
''The year 1911 will be the best yea
Emmett ever had. The supremacy
of the Emmett country as fruit
growing section is established, the
natural resources it possesses are
unlimited and with a united effort
and hearty cooperation OF the cltl-
zens, Emmett will grow and prosper
and become one of the leading cilies
of Idaho" That was the dominant
expression Of every one present.
Congratulations were exchanged ov-
er the results achieved and victor

20 serve. A vote of thanks was eX-
tended to Mr.. Gamage and Secretary
Davis for their untiring efforts and
faithful services during the past
year.
Complaint was made that the
Boise Fair Association had not yet
paid the premiums awarded the EN-
NETT exhibit or the amount contract
ed to be paid the band for their SER
vices, and Frank C. Berry was ap-
pointed to endeavor to secure set
tlement.

THE POLITICIANS AMONG THE
FARMERS.

Along with the big pumpkin and
the fat cattle OF the autumnal agri-
cultural fairs. the politicians proceed
10 enter themselves among the ex.
hibits, and start out for their annual
effort to get next TO the farm vote.
No man can ever succeed in politics
who finds it irksome to make the
round of the cattle shows and grasp
hands with the farmer and his hired
man. Most OF our successful poll
icians realize this. Few men ever
get to be governor OF any state who
has not served an apprenticeship OF
speaking from judges stands and
cattle stalls to a cross roads audi.
ence.
The man who looks merely al ex-
teriors may misjudge the force and
power OF this audience Cross roads

passiveness over a mans facial ap-
pearance. lie does not have the alert
face OF the smooth shorn and dapper
metropolitan.
At the same time his solitary life
gives him the power OF analytical
thought. He sees the incongruities OF
profession and performance quite as
well as the urban dweller who lives
In an atmosphere of buf Hence
political intuition tells the statesman
that II he has not made good in the
eyes OF the audience around the cattle
sheds. his work has been defective.
IL is somewhat customary to laugh
at governors and other high dignitar-
les when they start out on this rustic
campaigning. Il is suggested that
they lower themselves by a pretcnse
OF interest in things from which other
wise they would remain aloof
But the high official who remains
in his office and sees only the manu-
facturer. the lobbyist. the politician.

ply TO secure 10 American citizens
the same rates for the transmission
Of parcels by mail as are enjoyed by
the citizens of foreign countries who
transmit parcels by mail TO cities and
towns in this country On the face
OF IL it would seem absurd that such
legislation is necessary. yet IL is. The
facts are these: Within the United
States the rate OF postage on fourth
class matter is -l6 cents a pound. with
limit OF four pounds. The United
States is party TO a treaty under
which residents OF 90 foreign countries
may send fourth-class matter through
the United States mails at - cents
pound. with limit OF IL pounds. In
other words. man may send an H.
pound package from San Francisco
To Rome. Italy. at l. cents a pound,
but If h. wishes to send the same
articles TO New York he must divide
them into packages OF not TO exceed
four pounds each and pay lG cents
pound. 4 Japanese residing in New
York can send an 1l-pound package
TO his friends In Tokyo at l. cents.
but an American in New York can
send only four-pound package from
New York TO Washington and must
pay Is cents a pound.
The Bourne resolution was not
acted upon simply because the op.
-ponents OF the parcels post have thus
far been able to prevent favorable con
sideration OF any proposition looking
towards cheaper postal rates on pack
ages. Yet the resolution and the
statement OF facts ACCOMPANY it are
an Illuminating evidence OF the back
