members of the commission visited
the fire hall, where the members of
the fire department We're met and
matters of mutual interest discussed
The fact that Devils Lake has an ex-
ceptional fire team has instilled de-
gree of pride in the fire fighters. The
suggestion of placing the fire team
on the streets was not popular. The
department submitted "a proposition
to purchase, team for use on the
sprinkler with fire department funds.
This is being considered by the com.
mission. =. - So
The old council held short meet.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

We have new invitation to ex-
tend to men not already engaged in
Bible study. Near score Of Us got
together last Sunday morning at ten
O'Clock, and agreed upon study in
the first things of the Christ an
Church. We have room for as many
more. We assemble in the church
with the full Sunday School, but
have class business and study at
the Manse.
The evening service next Sunday
will be in charge of Mr.. P. P. Brain
ard and Secretary c. L. Shaw. This
for two reasons. These men have a
live message regarding the depart
ment of Christian work in which they.
are specially engaged. And then
the Washoe people have asked the
Payette ministers to give them q
Sunday evening service one month
and 1t is more convenient for Mr..
Reed to go there at that time. Pre-
paration win be made to render the
service at the church exceptionally
interesting.
The morning sermon theme is
''Making Truth True or False for
Ourselves"

Apple Prices
Still Advance
Northwest Distributors Call on Sub
Ccntrals for Closer Estimate of
crop-orders Pouring In To Them
at Top Notch Prices.

With orders pouring in at top Notch
prices the Pacific Northwest Fru.
Distributors IN order to more thor
oughly control the situation have
called on all the sub centrals u
give them a closer es innate en- tie
apple crop. The orders are comic g
in so rapidly as to make II almost
impossible for them to furnish tie
apples. The crop conditions are SO
uncertain that the Distributors co
not feel like selling right down to
finish even at the present prices
without first ascertaining jrst exact
ly how many they have to move.
In response to the call Manager NJ.
]. Higley has placed a man in the
field In this district to thoroughly
canvass the situation and will ai1 isa
the Distributors at once as to wheth-
er the crop here will suffer a shrink
age or over run the frst estimata.
The directors Of the Iiaho-Or5 gon
association at their recent monthly
meeting expressed themse yes as Wen
pleased with the selling policy Of
Mr.. Robbins which had been carried
out and under which two substant al
advances in the prices OF appl s
had been made but the Distributors
feel that they should not abuse tie
power given them by controlling so
much Northwestern fruit, to an uE-
extent and serd cut a
very earnest warning that there is a
limit. There may soon be lull or
reaction. But in the meantime they
do not want to either over CT under
sell and consequently must kn-w
at once approximately jUs. b W many

Fake Advertising
Again Exposed
Commercial News of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, Helps Payette Valley
BY Exposing Fake Advertising.

About year ago the Enterprise

the Merchants Trade Journal publish
ed at Des Moines, Iowa, was carry
Ing an advertising for orchard traits
near Hollister, Idaho, and were using
as inducements in the advertisements
results accomplished by several prom
inent Payette Valley orchardists.
While the advertisement did net def
initely state that the results obtained
by these men were from Hollister
lands, yet the wording of the adver-
tising was such as to lead to that
belief and the editor of the journal
himself visited the section and gave
his own personal recommend to the
orchard tracts. At the time Of the
publication of the article Secretary
Harader of the Commercial Club
sent marked copies of the Enterprise
to the editor of the Merchants Trade
Journal, Mr.. Pilkington, who replied
and stated that there was no in
tention TO deceive and he regretted
very much the misleading statements
In the advertisement Later practical
ly the same advertisement again ap-
peared without Pilkington's endorse
ment.
The entire affair with the expose in
the Enterprise was brought to the at
tention of the Commercial News pub
Iished at Sioux Falls, South Dakota,
by a travelling man In Iowa and also
by Secretary Harader and in their
September number the artic'e from
