WHAT WAS DONE TO DEWEY
Governor Hawley's Party Played
Tricks on RaiIroader.

The first of this week, Cover
nor Hawley, several state officers
and the state wagon road com
mission made a trip over the new
river road. The following from
the Statesman tells what they did
to Dewey"
At Smiths Ferry the party found
that E. H. Dewey had engaged sup
per and sleeping accommodations fol
himsel and his party and that he
had also engaged all the gasoline
in the place for his automobile The
engagements did not seem to bother
Governor Hawley and his party,
They ate the Dewey supper they
pre-empted the Dewey beds and in
the morning road away with every
pint of gasoline in the place.
Dewey and his party reached the
Ferry at IL o'clock in the night. No
beds could be found for them any
where and they slept in the barn. /
He was urged to surrender the
gasoline to the Boise party on the
promise that there would be a sup
ply in on the stage ait noon. He
was routed out of bed at o'clock
or to speak more correctly, his stall, I
and agreed to the surrender of his
gasoline. Then it was discovered
that the gasoline was stolen. State
Engineer A. E. Robinson and Com
tractor S. K. Atkinson were charg-
I'd with the theft and it was re-
that Governor Hawley
lad said in their presence the night
before that he did not wish to en-
courage stealing but that if the gasc
inc were stolen he would use his
influence with the state par
Ion board to get the offender off
With light sentence. Robinson and
Atkinson denied the the t but the
gasoline was found cached a half
nile down the road where the Boise
,arty had no difficulty in finding

the horses, Mr.. Dunn was thrown
under the wagon wheels and his
toes crushed and his leg painfully
bruised. But he stopped the horses.
George Demasters also had run
away Tuesday while returning from
STAR but no damage was done. The
team ran for two miles with Dad
keld of the lines, but luckily he
stopped them at the very edge of
Freezeout hill.

BETTER MARKETING METHODS NEEDED

If the story contained in Mon
days papers concerning the mar
keting of infected fruit it true,
Emmett growers have been given
another very emphatic object les
son in the necessity of adopting
cooperative methods in packing
and shipping fruit.
The haphazard method of indiyi-
dual marketing OF the past should
be abandoned. The Emmett coun ry
can i'll afford, even in the in ancy
of its fruit industry, to gain a
reputation for improperly packed
and diseased fruit such as is
charged. That we can grow fruit
as good as can be produced any,
where has been demonstrated beyon
a question time and again. But
that fact amounts to nothing unless
and indiscriminate
packing and marketing is abandoned
Mistakes made now may take years
to overcome and prove costly to
every producer.
The time has come for concerted
action. To be sure cooperative mar
6eting in this section will run lsnu
gainst obstacles but thr
United effort they will be

The trustees of the internal i'm

drainage commissioners consist OF the
same persons. We have decided that
it is cheaper to employ an attorney
by the year to represent the two
boards in all legal work. The salary
of such attorney is $4,000 per year.
These two boards have many import
ant suits.
All cases coming before the board of
pardonS are considered in executive
session, before final action is taken.
1t appears that 1t has been more or

wrote to the president Of the A. c. L.

my information that the A. c. L.
dent of the A. c. L. that l was I'M
acquainted with the president of the

requested him to refer the matter to
the president of the L. 6 n. That if
possible to have this four cent pas

mile; it should be done; that such a
rate was a thorn in the Sides of the
people and that even if it didn't pay
financially. that in the removing of
such thorn" it would rebound, in my
opinion, to the benefit of the company.
In due time I received a communi-
cation that this rate could not be re-
duced, the communication having been
received through the president of the
A. C. L. and from the president of the
