OF PROPER FRUIT
REFRIGERATING SOLVED

The Unitd States government has
solved at Medford the problem of
proper refrigerating of fruit so that
growers can delay the marketing of
their product for at least two weeks.
The success of the venture is sig
nificiant and means the saving to
American fruit growers of many hum
dreds of thousands of dollars each
season. In fact the benefits will prob
ably run into the millions of dollars.
Indicating the success of the plan
was the sale in New York of car
load of Rouge River Bartlett pears
shipped by the Rogue River Fruit
and Produce association through the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange of
Portland at $3.l5 box in the Met
ropolis which means $3.50 a box f. O..
b. Medford. The price is believed to
be the record value received for Bart
lett pears in the Unitd States this
season, insofar as the net returns to
the growers are concerned.
The carload sold in New York at
the record figure was the last of alot
of four that had been placed in the
new storage built at Medford at a cost
of $4,000. This huge price was made
in face of the fact that the Bartlett
pear market had slumped to very
considerable extent at eastern centers.
Recent sales there of pears showed
net returns to growers of about $10O
a box.
The quality of the Rouge River
stock was so good that New York
was willing to pay this enormous
premium for the supplies-in fact
wired that the trade there was very
anxious to secure more, of the same
quality at about the same price.
At the start the Rouge River inter-
ests did not get their cooling plant
operating right and first shipments
arrived in the east in a rather ripe
condition, but despite this, sales were
actually made at values that netted
from 80 to IS cents a box more than
Bartletts had been selling for usual
shipments.
The experiment made at Medford
is attracting much attention from the
fruit trade. In some quarters it is
stated that the experiment means a
complete solution of the "glutting"
troubles that have been so disastrous
to producers generally.

|MMENCE BODY
Open TO entry

Saturday the Boise U. S. Land OF.
flee received notice that 3O8,l7O acre.
of Canyon and Washington count,
lands had been declared subject tc
entry under the enlarged homestead
law. This land will be open to entry
October r.
Most of the land designated lies
in the northern and western portions
of Canyon county. A considerable
area of it is in Washington county,
some of it located almost as far north
as Cambridge. Some of the acreage
is extremely valuable as dry farm
land, and the designation of it under
the enlarged homestead act will make
it particularly desirable for settlers.
The limit to the ordinary home stead
is 100 acres, but the enlarged home
stead act permits the filing of home
steads as large as 800 acres on land
designated as coming under that act.
The purpose of the law is to permit
the acquisition by settlers of the en-
larged homesteads when the land is
not susceptible to irrigation and larg-
err farms are therefore desirable.
The land just designated as under
the enlarged homestead act has pre-
viously been open to entry and some
OF it has been filed on. Use who
have already SO filed, taking up home
stead of 100 acres or less of such
land, will now be permitted to take
up an additional amount if the addi-
tional land SO taken up adjoins their
holdings. and provided that they have
not already perfected title to their
present homesteads.
The land just designated as coming
under the enlarged homestead act is
embraced within the following town.

Finances of Fair Are in Most
Unsatisfactory Con-

PAY so CENTS ON DOLLAR
Commissioners of County Will Be
Asked to Give Additional Thousand
Dollars-Exeess of Expenditures
Over Receipts will Reach Nearly
Eight Thousand Dollars.

The officers of the Canyon County
Fair Association have been meeting
every day this week for the pur-
pose Of ascertaining the exact fin-
ancial condition Of the fair, settling
claims and transacting other busi-
ness Incidental to winding up the
affairs Of the 1913 fair. AS usual
the association ran behind. This
mas become q time honored, II not
q popular, custom of the association.
1t seems that the association is
never able to make both ends meet.
This year the expenses of the
fair were greater and the receipts
less than ever before. The total
expenses OF the fair this year were
about $4,000. The gate and con-
cession receipts were $4,000, with
$1,000 yet to come from the coun-
ty. The directors have decided that
the only way to save the county
fair is to apply to the county COM
missioners for an additional ono
thousand dollars which Is the sum
the association has always received
In the past. II this additional sum
is secured the association can set

OF 50 per cent cash and so per cent

and the progressive farmers of
the county who won premiums will
be willing to settle ON such terms
In order to save the Canyon county

A BATTLE OF GIANTS.

Two giant corporations--the Wash
ington Water Power company and the
Federal Mining & smelling company
have locked horns before the public
utilities commission. 1t is CHARGED
that the power company has made an
arbitrary increase in its rates of 10
per cent. and that it has laid down
rules and regulations that amount al
most to con6scation of the mining
company's property. In the complaint
it is stated that in the past FIVE years
the mining company has paid $780,
GOO for power, enough to pay for the
power plant and all the transmission
lines in Shoshone county.
By an order issued by the public
utilities commission the new rates
have been suspended pending a hear
ing and it is understood that the
whole matter will be threashed out
with the commission as refree.
1t is felt that the hearing will be OF
inestimatable benefit to the people of
the state. 1t viii be a battle between
two giant corporations and will ex-
pose the methods used by giants to
gouge each other. Naturally it is
expected that the people will learn
something of the methods employed
by the corporations in gouging the
public. If power company is arbi-
trary and confscatory in it's treat
ment of big corporation, customer
that pays it 100000 in five years for
service, what would it do to the little
fellow who is not in a position to
defend himself and fight backs-

Monument to Sea Gulls.

Monument to Sea Gulls.
a An interesting event took place at
Salt Lake last week concentrating
an event which took place in Utah in
1848 which will be remembered by the
first Utah and Idaho pioneers; and
which undoubtedly confirmed in their
faith the first converts to the Nor
mon church. On October LIST mon
ument to the seagulls was unveiled
on the Temple square of the Utah
metropolis. The monument was erec-
ted in commemoration of the rescue
of the pioneers by seagulls. The
Deseret News, the official organ of
the church, gives the following &C
count of the events OF 1913:
an the spring of l848 there were
about 100 souls in this valley, and
the winter wheat sent forth its tender
sprouts with promises of abundant
food at the time of the harvest. There
was Joy among the Saints, such as
the children of Israel must have felt
when their sojourn in the wilderness
was past and they had begun to .es..
tablish themselves in the beautiful
land of promise. But their JOY turned
into despair. For the fields were over
run by crickets. These destroying an
gels came in uncountable numbers and
attacked the tender vegetation in the
fields. They swept everything before
them.
"This was a severe trial. The faith
of the Saints was once more put to
the test. Had they sacrificed their all,
only to perish in the wildernessf Had
thew toiled, prayed and trusted in
God in vain3 Were they to face the
horrors of starvatiore Human hand
was too weak to -grapple successfully
WAY" Then. behold the miracle! Great
focks OF guils came from the Lake
and settled upon the almoss. ruined
fields. They took up the battle win
the destroyers. All day long, says
Bishop Whitney in his History OF
Utah, they gorged themselves, ana
when full, disgorged and feasted again
the white guiis upon the black crick-
ets, like hosts of heaven and hell con-
tending, until the pests were van
ouished, and the people were saved;
The heaven-sent birds then. returned
10 the lake islands whence they came;
leaving the greatful people to shed
tears OF Joy at the wonderful and time !,
