SouthmanI Has New Laundry Co.
ing Full Blast.

Monday of this week George South
man started the new laundry going
full blast and everything is running
smoothly and the usual good quality
of work is being turned out. With
the fine new building he recently
erected and the latest equipment in
the laundry line he certainly has a
plant to be proud of and one that is
probably not exceiled if equaled in
the entire state. A steady run by
the laundry means the addition to
Payette of a considerable lay roll
and the keeping at home of a con-
siderable sum of money that for
some time has been going to our
towns.

Capable Man
For Position
Leading Fruit Man of Bull Succeeds
H. E. Smith as Manager of Idaho
Oregon Fruit Association-Home Pa
per Speaks Highly of Him.

The following regarding NJ. ]. Hig-
ley, new general manager of the Ida
ho-Oregon Fruit Association with
headquarters at Payette we take
from the Buhl Herald published at
his old home:
NJ. ]. Higley of Buhl, president of
the local fruit growers assoc alton,
and vice president of the Idaho-Ore-
gon Fruit Growers Association, has
been made general manager of the
latter organization with headquarters
at Payette. Mr.. Higley left Tuesday
evening to take over the affairs of
the office but will return in a week
or ten days to close up the affairs of
his big orchard tract south of Buhl.
Mr. Higley succeeds General Mana
ger Smith, who has been drafted to
the important Chicago office of the
Northwest Distributors.
M. ]. Higley is one of the best
known orchardists in Southern Idaho,
and his appointment to the important
office in the new fruit growers or
ganization is a meritorious one. A
clean cut business man of successful
experience, his affable manner and
aggressiveness, together with his in
terest in the fruit industry, which is
almost a religion with him, assures
the Idaho Oregon Fruit Growers Asso-
citation of the services of a general
manager who has the ability and the
to make good. Mr..
Higley has faith in the future of the
fruit industry-he has a modest for
tune invested therein-and he is con-
fident that the plans under which the
fruit growers are now working, are
The Association could not have Sc
lected a better general manager than
NJ. j. Higley.

The hay crop is not the only one
the heavy rains of the last two weeks
are interfering with. The constant
showering has made it almost i'm
possible for the pea growers to get
into the fields and cut the crop.
There has been however no particu-
lar damage as the crop is a little
later this year than usual but the
delay is going to make the factory
get up and go some when the wealth
er permits the growers to cut and
haul peas steadily. Twenty four
hours per day will be the order just
as soon as the weather is auspicious.
According to General L. V. Patch,
of the canning factory the
crop this year is as good as usual
and the results so far per acre are
promising. Beyond making the har-
resting trifle later than usual the
aims have not as yet damaged it any.

! Sundays game between Payette
and Weiser was a complete disap-
/ pointment to the home fans mas
much as he home team until the first
half of the ninth had the game Sc
curely tied by a score of four to
two. Costly errors in the ninth gave
We'ser the necessary three scores
and Payette's inability to score in the
last half of the ninth gave them the
game and Payette's standing in the
percentage column started for the
cellar.
Loose ball was played by both
teams and every score on both sides
was made through errors. More
hits were secured off of Tyson the
Weiser wonder than were made off
of Slate who on Payette's side held
the visitors down to four scattering
hits.
The results of the game Sunday
places Weiser, Payette and Vale a
tie for first place in the percentage
column and the next few games to
be played between now and the
Fourth of July will decide the race
for the pennant in the four town
league.
Ontario still remains in the cellar
the ghost of a show to
place herself in the race. J1ly
Fourth Payette plays at Vale and
July fifth plays the last game of the
series with Weiser at Ontario. Sun
day July Vale comes to Payette
for the last game of the series.
More practice will beindulged in
his week than has been the usual
custom and Slate will. remain in Pay |,
ette the entire week to get the team
practice. He pitched a good game
Sunday and had it safely tucked
Lway but the costly errors proved
90 much to be overcome in the last
lalf of the ninth.

Heavy Yield
Good Berries
Denny G. Company Find Ready Mar
ket for Red and Black Raspber'
ries-Not Able to Supply Demand.

Black and red raspberries are
moving nicely the past week at good
price and have been averaging
around So per crate. Denny & Com
pany have been handling a large
number of crates every Gay and while
they have been daily shipping from
forty and fifty crates and so far have
not been able to supply the de-
mand When the heavier move
rent of these berries come later the
pfice will of course drop but those
who have been fortunate in having
earlier varieties are reaping the re-
ward
Some of the earlier varieties of
cherries were badly injured by the
recent rains which caused them to
swell and burst rendering a large
amount of them totally unfit for
shipment but they are being taken
care OF by the cannery. Previous to
the rain the cherries were moving |
easily at thirty-five to forty cents
per gallon. The later varieties of
cherries have not as yet been dam
aged and are holding up fairly well
in price. !

of strong leadership, an excellent pre-

NEW PARCELS POST
ARRANGEMENT.

Parcels post stamps will be a rare
postal authorities hae decided to is
sue no more and to use the ordinary
stamp for parcel post purposes. This
order went into effect Tuesday, July
l, the bulletin notifying the several
post officers having been dated June
~. The fact that the Associated Press
carried story nearly month ago to
the effect that this order would be is
sued without stating when it would
go into effect, caused some incon-
venience to those who took the press
account as authentic, some having
used ordinary stamps prior to July 1
only to have articles returned.
The order reads: ''On and after
July l, ordinary postage stamps, in
Guiding commemorative issues, shall
be valid for postage and for insurance.
and collect on delivery fees on fourth
class mail and distinctive parcel post
stamps shall be valid for all purpos-
es for which ordinary stamps are val |
id.
THE regular issue of due stamps !
and the distinctive parcel post due
stamps shall be valid for the collec-
ton of unpaid and short paid post
age on all classes of mail.
THE issuance of parcel post
stamps and parcel post due stamps
to postmasters shall be discontinued
after the stocks now on hand in the
bureau of engraving and printing are
exhausted and no additional supply
of these stamps shall be issued"
The c. o. D. parcel post rule
went into effect yesterday also. The
postmaster has been supplied with
urid red tags for this purpose. I'm
der this regulation the postal au-
5horities will deliver packages and
collect for them at the time of de-
livery, returning the amount collected

Crack! The roar of musketry was
again heard on the rifle range when
the boys of Company 'I'' opened the
seasons practice last Sunday.
Some remarkable scores were made
despite the fact of its being the first
practice IL the season, and as some
of the boys had never shot a militia
ry rifle lIpfore makes it more so!
Keen interest is being taken in the
shooting by the boys. They are work
ing hard and learning rapidly, as
they hope to win the company tro-
ply this year.
