Mrs. j. J. Sorenson, who lives
on fine and we'll improved farm
Neeley, a few miles from Ameri-
can Falls. brought to town this week
some apples raised in their orchard
last Year and which have wintered
fine. When storing them last fall
there was no particular attention
paid to sorting them but they are
now sound and have the flavor of
fan fruit. To be able to grow such
fruit which will winter in the condi-
ton these have is something which
any country can be pround.

TAFT DELEGATES
WILL Be SEATED
Control of Convention Depends
on National Committees De-
VIBRATIONS This Week.

Chicago.-The struggle for the re
publican presidential nomination will
center this week in the contests before
the republican national committee
Upon the result of the committees de-
liberation depends to a great extent
the control Of the convention and
therefore, the nominations which il
will make for president and vice-presi
dent. Taft's followers apparently con
troll the committee and it is generally
believed that the Taft delegates will
be seated in every instance with the
possible exception of those from Wash.
ington state.
In several of the contests the vote
to seat the Taft delegates was unan-
imous. The voting was rather hap
hazard on the early contests and did
not disclose the definite alignment of
the committee.
In the ninth district Alabama case
the one which Colonel Roosevelt has
branded as a plain steal"-the vote
was 3S to Is and on the plan to give
the two contesting delegations from
the fifth district, Arkansas, half vote
each, the score was Al to TO-
Borah Insists on Talking.
The first skirmish arose over a mo-
ton by Senator Borah to permit a roll
call upon the demand of eight mem
bers Of the committee instead of 20,
as provided by the rules.
Mr.. Borah wanted to debate the sub
ject, but Chairman Rosewater declared
it unbeatable, and sBorah declared
with some show of heat that he would
have his say or occupy such a position
that they would make no progress.
The committee tabled the motion, and
then by unanimous consent permitted
Borah to continue.

FRUIT SHIPMENTS
ARE STOPPED
Florida Fruit Growers VIII
Protect Interests

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 12-W =.
Temple, general manager of the Flor
ida Citrus exchange, has ordered all
members of the exchange to stop ship
ping fruit from Florida after Monday,
December &c. until December 30.
The reason given for this order is
that six thousand carloads of oranges
are now rotting or in the hands of
Northern merchants, and that this is
enough to supply the holiday trade.
In order to prevent congestion or an
over supply of Florida citrus fruit in
the North, and a corresponding de-
crease in the price in Northern mar
kets, the order was given. AS the
exchantie practically controls the
Florida output OF citrus fruit, there s
little doubt that shipments will be
suspended according to the order.
General Manager w. c. Temple stat
ed today that by January LIST ten
thousand cars of this years citrus
fruit crop will have gone forward.
This will be from 40 to As per CEN.
of the entire crop of the state. The
exchange looking for the higher prices
that generally obtain in January and
February, has shipped but 90 per
cent. of its pledged crop

Washington.-President Taft spent
the day Saturday about as usual, fin
ishing the afternoon on the golf links
with his sons. Robert and Charles. He
gave out statement in which he
said:
"A national convention of one of
the great parties is ordinarily import
ant only as preliminary to national
campaign for the election OF Pres
ident. The Chicago convention just
ended is much more than this, and Is
in itself the end of pre-convention
campaign presenting crisis more
threatening and issues more important
than those of the election campaign
which is to follow between the two
great national parties.
THE Importance of the great vic
tory which has been achieved cannot
be overestimated ALI over this coun-
try patriotic people are breathing
more freely that most serious mem
ace to our Republican institutions hax
been averted."

The revolt of many of the Roosevelt
delegates in the convention was open

containing the names of contested del
egates was approved.
A "valedictory" statement was read
in behalf OF Col. Roosevelt asking that
his name be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
