SUFFRAGE WAR

Critical Point Expected
During Present Week in
Great Britain

London. Feb. l9.-The present
week promises to bring the women's
suffrage campaign to a critical point
and II Is even within the range of
possibility that the question will
reach its climax by being brought
sQuarely before Parliament In an

The woman's suffrage question
was not a matter Of national politi-
cal importance in its early stages,
but IL gained enormously IN impor
tance when Chancellor Lloyd-George
openly ospoused the cause of votes
for women" Never before had a
hish government official in England
championed the cause, until Mr.
Lloyd-George entered the lists, ready
to fight for the franchise principle
and to carry the contest directly be-
fore the House of Commons. The
fact that he and the Prime Minister,
Mr. Asauith. are on opposing sides
on this important issue. makes the
situation even more acute and there
are many who believe tha, the wom-
/ ans franchise issue will cause a
split not only in the cabinet but in
the Liberal party and may. even
tually. precipitate a national crisis
in the political situation.

smoldering intense feeling at the
Sneed trial burst like a volcano to-
day when Len Boyce, youngest son
of Col. A. G.. Boyce, killed here on
January 10 by J. b. Sneed. made a
desperate attempt to assault w. p.

Boyce's aged mother was on the
stand most of the time. With evil
dent effort she controlled herself and
answered all questions. In her tes-
timony she declared that Col. Boyce
instead of leading a conspiracy to
unite Albert G. Boyce, Jr., and Mrs.
Lena Sneed. made continual and
strenuous efforts to separate them.
Attorney Mclean characteristics
ally had asked some pertinent ques-
tions on the verge OF sarcasm. Len
Boyce, sitting fifteen feet from the
attorney, was whiting n stick with
knife. He frequently glanced at
his mother and Mclean nervously
and frowned.
Suddenly Mclean asked: Don't

who has disgraced and run over his
father and mother stealing another
mans wife and killing his little chill

his company of old-fashioned sing
ers at the Methodist church Thurs
day evening was greatly enjoyed.
fne quaint costumes of so years

grow old were both interesting
and amusing. No ancient eggs or

touching ballad of his own com
position that brought tears to the
eyes of his hearers. Nevertheless,
ye concerto was a big success.

The Best Peach Orchard

After his tour of inspection of
orchards on the slope last week TO
determine the yield of peaches this
season, Fred Baisch declared that
the peach orchard of ] 1. Hit was
the best in the valley and one of
the very best he had ever seen,
which is saying a good deal. The
trees have been well taken care of
and scientifically pruned. The low
est limbs are within two feet of
the ground and every twig from
that point to the tip top of the
trees is a mass of fruit. This or
chard, of about five acres will
yield 5000 boxes of fruit.

in the presence of her husband. Mr..
Hall snatched the bottle from her

much of the acid. Medical at
tention was at once secured and
no serious fects resulted. Her
mouth and throat were badly burn
d, however. Domestic troubles,
is claimed, was the cause of
Ter rash act.

Valuable Rains.

The copious rains that set in
Sunday afternoon and continued
all Sunday night and at intervals
every day since then have been
of incalculable benefit to this
section Crops and young or
chards under the Canyon canal
were suf .ering, and the moisture
now in the ground will easily car
ry the crops through until water
is available in the big ditch. To
the dry farmers on Brownlee, on
Willow creek and in the country
west of Emmett the moisture is of
great benefit and insures a large
yield of grain.

What the School Is.

The movable schools, as con-
Quoted by the state university, are
simply farmers institutes extended
TO a weeks duration instead of
one day. The best talent posi-
BILE to be obtained is secured as
instructors Every one of them is
a specialist in the branch of agri
culture, horticulture, animal in
dustry or domestic science, and
large salaries are paid for their
services. This sason only three
schools will be held in southern
ern Idaho. One Of them will be
ocated at Parma, another at Fruit
land and the third in this city.
All of them will be in session at
the same time and the same corps
of instructors will be used at all
three places.
The general plan is to devote
two days to horticulture, two days
to stock and the dairy, and two
days to agriculture and domestic
science. Thus it will be easily
seen that by rotating the instruc-
tors on the different days the
same force will serve for all and
the expense greatly reduced.
The school will not only be
valuable to the farmers, but also to
those pupils of the schools TAX
ing either the agricultural course
or domestic science.

The above are conservative es-
Inmates of the yields o the largest
peach orchards in the Emmett coun-
try. The first table gives the es-
innate made by Fred Baisch, who
was appointed by the Fruit Growers s
association for that purpose. The
orchards mentioned were per-
sonally inspected by him and James
Kinzer, manager of the associa-
tiou, and the estimates are very
close to being correct.
The second table includes those
orchards of which Mr.. Baisch has
rot made q careful inspection and
also those which have not made
contracts with the association.
In addition to the above there are
numerous orchards having esti-
mated yields of from 100 boxes
to 999 boxes, which will swell
the grand total to $50 carloads. OF
this amount, there will probably be
about 90 carloads of early varieties
and those not of shipping quality,
and probably from 10 to 20 car
loads that will be marketed by the
grow ers themselves. Manager Kin
ger says 10c carloads will be han
dlea by the Fruit association. AS
there are 1910 crates TO car
the entire output of the Emmett
country this year will be $4,000
crates, valued at 100000.

MOVABLE SCHOOL FOR
EMMETT
Arrangements Being Made
for a Week Of Instruc-
ton for Farmers

Do the farmers of the Emmett
country desire to have NOV
able school conducted in this city
next winter by the agricultural de-
partment of the State university?
/! they do, all that is required
to secure it is to indicate their
wishes by signing petition and
agreeing to attend part or all
the sessions.
Prof. w. H. Olin, who is in charg
of the educational work for farm
ors conducted by the university, was
in town Saturday and took up
the matter with officials of the
Commercial Club and Superintend'
ent knipe of the city schools. The
conditions upon which the school
may be secured are-first, securing
of a suitable building for the
sessions; second, defraying the ex-
pense of board and lodging for the
instructors; third, petition, praying
for the school to be signed by not
less than $50 farmers, fourth, every
signer of the petition agreeing to
attend part or all the sessions.
The Officers of the club agreed to
guarantee a suitable building, take
care of the expense and circulate
the petitions. 1t is now up to the
farmers, and it is foregone con-
clusion that they will fall over
themselves in their eagerness to
secure this eagerly sought for prize.
