Evaporated Prunes

Charles Paine of Roswell, manager Of
the Steel orchards, reported that they
had an evaporater which would care for
ten tons Of prunes per day and that
they were putting in five ton eyap-
crater in addition to the one in use.
The cost OF the machinery, not includ-
ing the building, was $l250 for five
ton plant. When green prunes could be
marketed to advantage they would ship
green; when for any reason they could
not be marketed to best advantage they
would run the crop through the evap-
crater. Last season they sold 100, 900
pounds of evaporated prunes, receiving
therefore about 8 tc 81 cents pound
OF $3.50 to $40 a ton. The discussion
led to the thought that il tonr hundred
Of the thirteen hundred cars of prunes
expected this season in southern Idaho
could be evaporated, the remaining nine
hundred cars would bring as much in
the market for fresh prunes as the en-
tire thirteen hundred cars thrown on
the market and perhaps depressing the
marketing price by overstocking En-
NETT Index.

Local High School Team
Rolls up Big
Score.

The ball game between the local high
school boys and the Nyssa team on the
Parma diamond Thursday was easily
won by the Parma bunch, the score be
ing II to 8 The game belonged to the
locals from the frst inning, Nyssa at no
time being in sight OF the dust Of the
high school boys. Alexander, Parma's
star twirler, secured nineteen strikeouts
to Christensen's 5, and allowed them
but three scattered hits, while the locals
we're credited with seven. Errors were
quite numerous during the game, thus
accounting for. the large score Of the To-
Gals. In two innings the Parma boys
batted around once each. The teams
were lined up as follows;

GETS IDAHO
Convention Endorses Mis-
souri, Statesman but
Turns Down Dubois.

The democratic state convention COM
pleted its labors yesterday and resigned.
The convention was well ATTENDED.
While Champ Clark was at all times
the choice OF the convention, his cam
paign manager, Fred I Dubois, vas not
even elected delegate to the Baltimore
convention. The anti dubois forces
we're in control and overlooked no oppor-
tunity of letting the fact be known. Mr..
G. B. Steunenberg, CIark's manager in
this state, was not elected to the nation
al convention.
The convention was certainly interest
ing, as the following press dispatch will
indicate. Tuesday morning motion to
adjourn till afternoon was voted down
and Fisher Of Bannock told OF conditions
in Bannock and pleaded for the defeat
Of Dubois. Clark Of Custer attacked
Nugent as disturber and WAS howled
down. Miller and KelIar OF Fremont
county entered into a wrangle charging
each other with dupicity. They were
squelchei by the chairman. The Nj
gent forces agreed on slate composed
of alexander, Fisher. Pointer, Within
Hit, Hutton, Miller. Lowery, Heitield
Evans, St. Clair, Coulter, Smith, Culve
and Rich
AS the call Of the counties progressed
it became clear that the slate woul,
win Alexander, 2s5; Fisher. 30s
