about 100 people. Mr.. Field stated he
will can about six carloads of peaches
and IL cars of tomatoes within the next
four weeks. Peaches canned here last
year sold against the keenest competi-
ton on the Chicago market at the
highest prices. This speaks volumes
both as to the quality of Emmett
peaches and the efficiency of this can

device used in the canning of toma-
toes. Tomatoes grown here are pro-
nounced superior in quality to those
grown in the central states.
500 Gathering Peach Crop.
The estimates now made are that
Emmett's peach crop this year will ap-
proximate $50 carloads. OF this amount
about 1875 cars will be shipped out, and
about six carloads will be canned, and
Is carloads will be hauled out in wag-
ons and sold to the people in the near

1t Is estimated that 500 people are
now at work at Emmett in harvesting
this splendid peach crop. The peach
growers this year will net from 500 to
5000 per acre, according to the ages of
their orchards.
There are five firms buying and SELL
ing Emmett peaches in carload lots.
They are the Emmett Fruit Growers

BOND ISSUE FOR
IDAHO HIGHWAY
Portion of the 5000, 600 Issue
Disposed of-Fund to Be
Apportioned.

The delivery of $4,000 Of the $780,
600 four per cent good roads bonds has
taken place and those counties which
have raised the difference in the in
terest margin and have also voted
bond issues for good roads purposes
will soon have apportioned to them
their share of the issue. This is
taken to indicate that the dirt will
soon commence to fly on links of the
new state highway system. Assur-
ance has also been received that the
balance of the bond issue, $150,00O,
will be taken care of in the same
manner. The bonds are being handled
through the Pacific National bank.
Good roads advocates have been
waiting patiently for the sale of this
issue in the hope of securing state aid
for road construction work on that
portion Of the state highway system
in their state. Many of the counties
have already voted bond issues to COM
bine the funds with those Of the state,
so that a large amount of construc-
ton work can be taken care of. In
addition a number of them have raised
the difference in the interest in order
to avail themselves of state aid. Twin
Falls was one of the counties in this
class. This progressive county ex-
poets to start road construction with
out further delay.
1t was feared when the war broke
out in Europe that the bonds could
not be disposed of. Drawing but four
per cent, they did not prove to be
very attractive to bond buyers and
for almost two years, or since they
were voted by the last legislature.
they have remained in the vaults of
the state treasury uncalled for. Just
before the war broke out. however. a
purchaser was found willing to take
the issue off the hands of the state.
Negotiations were Immediately en-
tered into and In spite of the war the
bonds were in demand and sold. The
first installment of the issue has now
been disposed of and 1t is not ex-
pected there will &c much more delay
in placing the balance with the same
investors.

WARS AFTER MATH

(By VIM. j. Luscombe.)
When the cannon roar is ended,
And the bloody strife Is DONE
When brave men shall have commended
Fearing neither sword nor gum
What forsooth will be accomplished,
In mans onward, upward course,
Only that one host be vanquished,
While the victors shout till hoarse?
When at last the conquering heroes,
Shall return to native soil,
To receive their hard earned laurels,
And recount wars costly spoil;
1t will be triumph CHASTITY,
For amid the plaudits loud,
Sobs and tears will mingle sadly.
From a broken hearted crowd
AS plumed knights on prancing charg-
ers,
Will review their warriors brave;
Homes, sad homes, whose loved defend
ers,
Silent lie in far off grave;
Meier again will know the gladness,
OF the days now gone for aye.
OF llle WAL Will CdSl u SduIlcSS,
Which no glory can outweigh.
God of nations, God of pity.
Have beneath Thy covering wing.
Both in village quiet and city,
Those for whom no Joy bells ring.
Be husband to the widow,
Father to the fatherless;
And may hearts by grief bowed low,
Find Thee near to love and bless
King of Kings. and Lord of Lords,
Whose very breath the nations smite
Who metest out Thy just rewards;
Arise in all Thy matchless might,
To hasten on that glorious day,
When swords be beaten into plows,
And men no more each other Stay,
But peace be written on their brows.

HOME IS ENTERED
BY A MASKED man
DIR. II. A. Grossman Gives
Battle but the Intruder
Makes His Escape.

Intent upon burglary or a more SER
ious crime, an unknown masked man
entered the home of DIR. H. A. Cross
man at 324 Washington street about
o'clock Sunday morning. but before he
could accomplish his purpose he was
given battle by DIR. Grossman, who in
the end was bested. The masked man
used a club freely. flooring the nome
protector and making his escape
through the window of the bedroom oc-
cupied by Miss Grizelda Grossman by
which he gained entrance.
With his eye blackened and other
wise bruised by the fierce unequal
struggle with the armed and larger
man in the dark, DR.. Grossman this
morning told the following story Of
the affair.
EARLY Sunday morning was
aroused by a shrek from my daughter
and although but half awake jumped
from my bed and ran into her room.
There I found a man. Thinking that
she was being assaulted I Immediately
gave him battle and we had fierce
struggle in which he used a club he
had freely but 1 kept so close to him
that he could not deal me knockout
blow. We fought from one room Into
the next and there as l attempted to
throw him lost my balance somewhat
and he struck me over the head and l
went down. This was in my wife's
room and she. seeing me fall, got up
and started toward the man. He
raised his club as though to strike her
and she stepped back. TIE then bolted
through the room he entered and out
the open window from which he had
removed the screen.
while regained my feet in a min
ute. the house was dark and the in
truder made his escape before I could
get at him again.
IT am unable to say whether or not
his motive was that of burglary or as
sault. Nothing in the house was
touched. He struck my daughter over
the head and while the blow was suffi-
Gent to raise quite a bump and daze
her 1t did not prevent her from sceram-
ing and she aroused all the neighbors,
one or two of whom saw the man run
away in the darkness.
1.-THE only clue we have is the mans
cap. which he left behind him and
which was knocked off in the fight l
had with him."
Miss Grossman, who is 10 years of
age and well known in Boise, states
that when she came home Saturday
night about IL o'clock she noticed a
man not far from the house and
stepped out to look at him but was
frightened back when he came toward
her. She told her mother of the affair
and she got up and looked out the win
dow and saw him and while both were
nervous, she states. they tried to dis
miss the affair from their minds. Early
In the morning, she states, she has a
faint recollection of someone in her
room and of raising up in bed and look
ing at him. It was then, she thinks,
that the man struck her over the head
and she screamed.
Some time prior to the affair a man
was seen in the alley in the rear of the
house by neighbors, who became
frightened and spoke about it, They
now feel sure the fellow was the one
who entered the Grossman home.
