FRUIT CROP
NOT DAMAGED
Few Varieties Injured but Main Crop
Still safe-Peaches and Aprieots
Will be Half Crop.

During the past week the weather
has been such several nights as TO
cause considerable speculation with
a number as to just what is the
real condition of the fruit crop.
Close investigation reveals the fact
that while the early peaches and
apricots have suffered to some ex-
tent and also sweet cherries that
there will still be a half cropr OF
these varieties and that the winter
apples are as yet perfectly safe and
the past few days OF better weather
with warmer nights would seem 80
indicate that the danger line has
been passed and the crop OF CONNER
cial apples viii be a bumper.
Ben Davis and BaldwiDs have suf-
fered slightly from recent cold snaps
at night but the other varieties of
winter apples are still in good con-
dition universally ard a number Of
growers give it out that the crop in
most varieties viii still be a fun
one.
Many growers rssorted TO smudging
on several evenings and universal
alarm was felt on last Friday night
sahen it became known that the last
OF the oil had been burned. Manager
Smith OF the Payette Fruit Packing
Company had oil on the way and
two car loads arrived. one Saturday
night and the other enc Monday ey-
ening. Saturday night Manager
Smith remained on duty until four
o'clock in the morning of Sunday Civ
ing out oil to the growers who
wished TO be prepared. The report
from those smudging thoroughly is
to the effect that they were entirely
succ cessful and feel that with plenty
Of oil or coal on hands they viii
be able in most instances TO com
bat frcst with good effect
At the present time TO sum up
conditions in Payette Valley as they
really exizs is that there VIII be a
iull crop Of winter varieties of apples
and a good half crop Of peaches and
apricots.

pert accountants to audit the books

son, Rezac, Woodward and Soule
voted aye and Brainard voted nay.

telling the progress and needs of
the people of Idaho. Before the

DEATH.

Mary Ellen, daughter Of Henry P.
and Ella Shumpert and wife of W.
Marion Rish, born February %, 1884;
died April 12, 1911, aged 27 years, 1
month and 10 days. She leaves faith
er, mother, two brothers, a husband,
two children 1.-TWO children having pre-
ceded her to the Spirit world), and a
host of other relatives and friends to
mourn her departure.
She had been sick only about nine
days and the end came as quietly as
if she had drawn the drapery of her
couch about her and lain down to
pleasant dreams.
She was given to God in infancy by
holy baptism. After her marriage
she united with the Florence Baptist
church, of which she remained faith
full member until death. While we
keenly feel our loss, we do not sorrow
as those who have no hope, for we
know that she will live again in that
land where all is happiness, and where
sorrow and death are unknown. We
know where to meet her, for she has
gone to that home not made with
hands eternal in the heavens.
The floral tributes were numerous
and beautiful. The funeral was con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. N. N. Bur-
ton, and her body laid to rest by the
side of her two little children in the
Florence cemetery.
It was hard indeed to give you up,
We loved you all too we'll,
While we are drinking sorrows cup,
Happy with the saints you dwell.
Brothers.
