High Prices For Fruit

/ High prices for deciduous fruits in
in eastern markets and bumper
yield in the Northwest have com
bined to make prospects exceedingly
bright for farmers of Idaho, Oregon
and Washington. Shipments from
California have brought from $500 to
$4,000 per car, with an estimated
yield of $4,000 cars to be shipped
from the state. On the basis Of pres
ent prices the revenue from these
1000 cars will be s2S,OOO,OOO. Taking
this as an index, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington crops should also yield a
sum which will go a long way to
keep the wheels of prosperity NOV
ing.
The Southern Pacific company re-
ports the movement over its lines
eastward of 129 cars during three
days of this month and states that
shipments are now going forward at
the rate of from 40 to 60 cars daily.
The season is two weeks earlier this
year than last, and the yield is heav-
ier. Plums are most important in
quantity, but will soon be replaced at
the head of the list with pears. Next /
in order come peaches, together with /
the last of the cherries and apricots.
Shipping began a month ago and will |
continue until November, the maxi
mum being reached when the grape |
,rop is at its height in October.
c. J. Jones, General Freight Agent
# the Southern Pacific company says
hat the price level on deciduous
ruits in the east is quite high this
ear and because of the shortage in
astern fields promises to continue so
Ie says that the record sale for
herries was that of 20 cars which
rossed over $50 900. One car, alone,
old for $4,000.
Railroad companies are calling up
n shippers to cooperate that there
lay be full supply of cars. If cars
re loaded and unloaded promptly,
here will be plenty to go around,
ut only prompt release of cars once
,aded will allow the crop to move
asily and rapidly. An especial ap- !,
cal is made at this tmie to prevent =
ongestion and it is believed that
sers of railroad equipment will re-
bond.

Indians and
Orientals
"BuffaIo Bills and "Pawnee Bill's
Big New Show.

Red men, yellow men, brown men
squaws, papooses, cowgirls, cowboys
, Mexican vaqueros, roughriders from
every cline; scouts, cavalry men
dead shots, frontiersmen and greas
ers; horses, broncos, Indian ponies
buffalo, boros, mules, oxen, elephants
camels, and Buffalo Bill and Pawnee
Bill are all headed this way for a
stay of one day in Boise, July 31st.
Depicting the scenes when this
country was fresh and green, when
the Indians and the cowboy and the
United States soldiers contested for
possession of every foot of abe pra-
ries west of the Mississippi river, will
be the aim and declared purpose Of
the caravan.
1t is an old story but an ever inter
estin one-this picture of the emf
grant train, drawn by heavy oxen
with hardy men walking along and
urging the slow, but sure beasts; the
men with their rifles ready, watching
for the first signs of Indians; the
Indians on horseback and on the
march, watching for the palefaces;
the attack at night; the attempt to
annihilate the whites, and the rescue
by United States soldiers who are on
the hunt for the marauding Indians.
All these will be seen.
There will be shootings, ropings, |
branding of cattle, riding of bucking |
broncos, scalping by Indians, daring |
riding by men of many races, and the
old Virginia Reel on horseback. And |
there will be more. The canvas walls
and massive scenery will have the
views of the mountain ranges,
the snow capped peaks, the pleasant
valleys, the Indian villages, and the !,
many things which go to make up /
this most interesting and delightful di
which comes to entertain the
old folks and to amaze and startle
and thrill the youngsters.
And from the distant lands of the
Orient have been gathered a great
host of mixed and mysterious races,
whose strange mode of life and pecu-
liar pastimes add romantic zest to
he ever changing scenes, ard the in
reduction of many novel features, in !
,luding the thrilling game of Auto-Po- ,
o.
Last, but by no means least, of this
,ventful show day will be the big re-
'ival of the famous Wild West and
FAR East street parade at ten O'Clock {
n the morning. I

To The Fruit Growers

As we are changing our policy of

bud little thinner than the other.
The cion is then driven firmly into
place with the lower bud to be outside
and little below the top Of the
cleft.
II is important that the inner bark
on the outer edge of the wedge
should be brought in contact with the
inner bark on the stub. II is between
these parts that the union takes place.
Kerf grating is almost the same as
cleft grating only the stub is pre-
pared by saw cuts instead of splitting.
These are made on opposite sides of
the stub, and trimmed to thin V-shaped
grooves with a saddler's knife, the
cion Is then trimmed to fit, driven
firmly into place and waxed as in cleft
grating.
II is not good practice to remove
the whole top of the tree the first
year and graft all the stubs. Often
this proves too much for the tree and
it fails even after the gratis have
made good start. They may hnger
two or three years and then die.
A better plan is to cut away only
enough limbs to set cion for a good
top generally about half OF the tree.
Working Of more stubs results into
dense top, or, necessitates their re-
moval later
The remaining limbs may be short
ened, but some foliage is needed to
protect the stubs and trunk from sun
scald as well as to supply nourish-
ment.
Budding is another method OF put
ting a new top on young tree. The
buds are generally set from six to
twelve inches from the main stem, de-
pending on the formation Of the head.
Two-year-old trees may be budded the
following fall.
AS any stem as large as a lead
pencil may be budded quite easily.
Buds may be set during the month
of July, August and September. Fall
budding should generally be given the
preference over spring budding. In
fall budding the buds are taken from
the current years growth and these
may be inserted in the wood Of one,
two or three years growth.
Heavier bark makes the insertion Of
the buds difficult.
Place the bud on the shady side of
the stock. A T-shaped incision Is
made In the bark and the corners Of
the bark below the transversed cut
raised to facilitate starting the bud
The bud is then cut from the bud
stick by starting the knife half an
inch below the bud, cutting under and
about the same distance above. The
cut should be deep enough to leave
small shield Of wood.
The bud is then shipped into, place
and well wrapped with ,raffia or soft
wrapping Irvine, and this wrapping
should be cut when the bud has united
with the stock, which is usually with
In ten days or two weeks.
Care must be observed that the
wrapping does not cut into the bark
as too much pressure interferes with
the flow of sap and tends to throw
| the bud into premature growth.
The buds set in August and Sep
TENDER should remain dormant over
winter and the following spring. as
soon as the buds on the top Of the
stock begin to push out, the original
top of the stock Is cut away.

PAID TRIBUTE TO LAUGHTER
Men Of intellect and Renown Join In
Testimony to the Value CT
Joll.ty In Life.

The value OF a good-natured laugh
may be rated low by some people:
but many writer's have attested its
worth In no measured terms.
It is not surprising that Charles
Lamb should have said, "A laugh Is
worth a hundred groans in any mar.
ket;" but from the lips OF the somber
Carlyle one is scarcely prepared to
hear, mo man who has once heartily
and wholly laughed can be altogether
or irreclaimably bad"
II was Douglas Jerrold who boldly
stated that, What was talked OF as
the golden chain OF Jove was nothing
more than a succession OF laughs. a
chromatic scale Of merriment reach
ing from earth to Olympus"
II am persuaded" wrote Laurence
sterne, that every time man smiles
but much more SO when he laughs--it
adds something to his fragment OF
life"
Last of all may be cited the verdict
OF Oliver Wendell Holmes. given with

There could be no doubt OF this, as
the shelter OF the sand ridge had pre-
served plain trail, although a few
yards beyond. the sweeping wind had
already almost obliterated every sign
of passage. The four men ate heartily
OF their cold provender, discussing the
situation in a few brief sentences.
WATSON argued that Dupont was head
ing for some Indian winter encamp-
ment, thinking to shift responsibility
for the crime upon the savages. thus
permitting him to return once more
to civilization. but Hamlin chung to his
original theory of a hide-out upon Du-
points old cattle-range, and that a pur-
pose other than the mere robbery OF
Mcdonald was In view. All alike, how
ever, were convinced that the fugi-
tiyes were seeking the wild bluffs Of
the Canadian river for concealment
IT was not yet dark when they again
picked up the trail. rode around the
dead body OF Connors. and pushed for
ward into the maze of sand. For an
hour the advance was without incl
dent, the scout In the lead not even
6ismounting, his keen eyes picking up

darkness shut down, the lowering bank
OF clouds completely plotting the stars,
although the white glisten OF the sand
under foot yielded slight guidance.
Up to this time there had been no de.
Walton in direction, and now when the
trail could be no longer distinguished,
the little party decided on riding
straight southwark until they stSuck

the moon arose, hardly visible and yet

the riders could see each other. and
