Travelling in a luxurious special
train containing four cars and diner,
and accompanied by their band, On
tario boosters to the number of $50
invaded Emmett Friday afternoon and
held possession until Z o'clock in the
evening. They came in on the Idaho
Northern and returned home by way
of the P. V. They were met at the
depot by delegation of citizens and
escorted to the Russell hotel corner,
where after concert by the band, the
object of their visit was made known
by Mayor Trow, which was to extend
a cordial invitation to attend the NAL
heur fair and make an exhibit of
Emmett products. He said the inter
ests of the two sections held so much
in common that closer cooperation
would be beneficial to both.
At the conclusion of the speech max
ing, the visitors were escorted to the
Bank of Emmett corner, a pile of lus-
cious home grown watermelons and
baskets of peaches were set before
them and they were invited to help
themselves.

PRUNE PACKING
STARTS NEXT WEEK
The Output This Year Will be Only
So cars

Prunes will be ready for the pickers
and packers next week. The Fruit
Union will start operations the first
of the week. E. K. Hayes, who has
charge of Max MayfeIPs plant here,
will begin Wednesday. Charles P.
Hartley started packing two cars yes
terday. These are a trifie green, and
are picked from overloaded trees in
order to prevent complete breaking
down of branches. Mr.. Hartley has
the heaviest crop in the valley.
The prune crop this year will be
larger than at first estimated. In
stead of only 80 cars, there will be
close to 70 carloads. C. P. Hartley
estimates his pack at % cars; West
lake, at 10 cars; Fruit Union II; Dur
ham Brothers l, and several scatter
ing carloads from both bench and val
ley. Must of them have been con-
tracted at $50 per ton.

New Agent Takes Charge

Short Line auditors completed the
checking up of the depot business
Tuesday and ]. 1. Berry of Payette
entered upon his duties as station
agent, succeeding Ed P. Shaw, who
retires to look after his farming in
terests at this place and at Nampa.
Mr.. Shaw's' retirement is regretted
by all Emmett patrons. He has been
courteous and accommodating in his
treatment of customers and faithful
to his trust in every particular. MIR.
Berry was H. E. Dunn's right hand
man at Payette and comes highly re-
commended. He and his family have
moved into the Cort Pyle residence,
recently vacated by C. V. Wolfe.

Idaho Products Superior

Mr. Atkinson stated that as brok-
er he had handled many carloads of
canned fruits from the Field cannery
in this city; that most of them had
been sold in Chicago, and that in
every case where test was made the
Emmett product was acknowledged to
be superior to the California canned
fruits. Especially was this true of
peaches, he said. He predicted that
the local cannery would develop into
a big and helpful business institution
and urged Emmett people to give it
loyal support. "You will have more
canneries here in the future" he said,
@'but they will not come until the one
you have has demonstrated that can
neries can be operated successfully
and profitably" Mr.. Atkinson's talk
was warmly received.

Boise Traffic Bureau Here

Seeking the cooperation and sup
port of the club and the business inter
ests of Emmett, six members of the
Boise Traffic Bureau, consisting of Mr..
Way, Sherman Coffin, Reilly Atkinson,
William Northrup, R. NJ. Childs and
Max Mayfield were present to ex-
plain the purposes of the bureau,
outline its scope of usefulness and re-
count its accomplishments. Mr.. Way,
an expert in charge of the bureau,
stated the objects of the orgoniza-
tion were to secure justice and fair
ness in the service and charges Of the
transportation companies. He hopes
to enlist every Commercial body and
business interest in southern Idaho in
the support of the bureau. Among
its accomplishments the reduction of
freight charges and the elimination
of the arbitrary rate between Emmett
and main line points were cited, also
the reduction of rates on hay from
Long valley points and betterment of
train service, both passenger and
freight. Talks were also made by the
other members of the party in sup
port of Mr.. Mays contentious. Reilly
Atkinson diverted from the subject to
speak of the improved conditions that
were gradually taking place in south
ern Idaho, mentioning specifically the
development of manufacturing indus
tries, such as cheese factories, milk
condensaries and canneries. He
prophesied that within very few
years southern Idaho would not only
not be buying any cheese, canned milk
or canned fruits from outside points, |
but that it would be supplying to out
points large quantities of
those products, thus making farming, /
dairying and fruit growing more pro-
fitable and turning the stream of
money into the state instead of out of
it.

FAIR, STOCK SHOW AND
CARNIVAL
A Two Days Street Fair the
Last of September Being
Planned

From present indications Emmett
will have two days fair the latter
part of September. An exhibit not
only of orchard and farm products,
but also of live stock, is under con-
sideration. The two days exhibit to
close with an excellent program of
sporting events in the afternoon and
a carnival at night.
Tentative plans were discussed at a
meeting of the Commercial Tuesday
evening and it was decided to hold a
fair, provided sufficient financial en-
couragement was received from the
business men to insure it's success.
The committee appointed, consisting
of B. B. Davis, E. C. Rundstrom and
Walter Keith, had that proviSo laid
on the top shelf after a very short
canvas Wednesday morning. The
business men were found to be en-
thusiastic for the local fair and it
didn't take them very long to demon
strate their enthusiasm by contribut-
ing literally to funds to defray ex
penses and also prizes for the best
exhibits. 1t was all done so quickly
that the committee is jubilant. The
enthusiasm manifested guarantees the
best local fair ever held here
and Emmett has had some mighty
good ones. 1t is quite probable that
Emmett will, as usual, be represented
at the county fair, and the exhibit
selected from the local fair. However,
that will be decided at a meeting of
the Commercial Club to be held Fri
day evening. A large attendance of
businessmen and farmers is requested. /
1t makes no difference whether you are
a member of the Club or not-of
course you ought to be if you are
not-Come. Your suggestions and
assistance are wanted.

PEACH HARVEST is AT
HIGH TIDE
Fifty-fve Carload Shipments
Made So Far This
Week

The Elberta peach harvest is at
1 flood tide this week, and because of
the unexpected early ripening of the
fruit has pretty nearly swamped the
growers and the railroads. Peaches,
like Time, wait for no man. When
they're ripe, they're ripe, and no time,
can be lost in getting them to the con-
sumer. By this time next week the
Elberta season will be practically at
an end. The height of the season was
not expected until the last of next
week, and the sudden ripening caught
the growers by surprise, but not unpre-
pared. Crates and baskets and wrap
ping paper had been hauled out to the
packing sheds and pickers and packers
had been engaged, and it didn't take
long to mobilize the forces and begin
the attack Long strings of wagons
have been rolling into the Fruit As
sociation's loading sheds here from
early morn until late at night. At
Bramwel a like activity has been in
progress, and few cars are being
loaded at Letha.
A special peach train went out of
the yards to nthe main line Monday
evening and another special went out
Tuesday evening. These included
shipments by the Fruit Distributors
and Denny & Co.
The total shipments up to tonight
aggregate 55 carloads, not counting
those made by express and local ship
mentss.
The railroad officials have rendered
excellent service and assistance, and
the officials of the local Fruit Union
are loud in their praises of the hearty
cooperation accorded them by the
railroads There has been no scar
city of refrigerator cars and no delay
has been occasioned. Every depart
ment has run smoothly and methodi-
cally. The loading crew in the shed
is onto its job. This was shown Tues
udy AIOIHlilS WHEN dlulOSL an ava
lanche of fruit came in. Two cars
were loaded in one hour. Loading
operations continue until midnight.
Most of the Distributors cars have
been consigned to Kansas City and
from there are distributed The
Denny cars have been billed to Grand
Island, Neb. One full carload was
shipped from the Sullivan orchard
to the Falk Mercantile Com
oany of Boise. The Geo. P. Hall or
,hards are shipping Independently and
are distributing over a wide range of
,erritory, principally in Idaho. ]. l.
HIT is also shipping on his own ac-
,ount and is selling in Idaho and Ore
ron.
A number of individual carload
hipments are being made. R. B.
Shaw is shipping a car to Carl Hiatt
It briggs, Ira Flagler car to Cedar
falls, Iowa, and Geo. P. Hall to Belle
ue, this state.

No Royal Road to Advertising
Success

Once young millionaire when entering prepara-
tory school complained because he had to study his
Latin each day like common pupils.
Sir said his instructor, "there is no royal road to
Latin"
Nor is there any royal road to advertising success.
The only way to reach it is to advertise regularly
consistenty-every day. if possible You might just
well close your store for day two at time
to neglect your advertising for period.
There is royal road to success but The Index
offers the smoothest straghtest and the most direct
road
1t is the road which all prominent advertisers in
this town have found to be the safest and surest.
The public has become accustomed to looking in The
Index for its advertising news-when purchase is
contemplated The Index's advertising columns the
first to be consulted.

FINE PEACHES
FOR FRISCO
Excellent Specimens Selected for Ex-
hibit at Exposition

Prof. E. P. Taylor, field horticultur-
ist, came to town yesterday to gather
specimens of peaches for the Idaho ex-
hibit at Panama exposition next year.
In company with C. L. Gamage and B.
c. Bowers, the orchards were visited
and excellent specimens of the peach
were secured. Selections were made
from the Frozen Dog ranch, and the
orchards of R. B. Shaw, H. L. Fest,
B. c. Bowers, J. l. Hit, R. B. Wright
and others. Other orchards will be
searched today. Prof Taylor is very
enthusiastic over the specimens secur-
ed and says they are perfect in every
way.
This fruit will be preserved in its
natural state-color and all-by the
process" system. As stated last
week, the Commercial club is paying
for the glass jars IN which the fruit
will be kept, and the state will pay
the expense of processing" it, which
Will average So per jar.
Specimens cf prunes, apples and
grapes from Emmett fruit farms will
be treated in like manner. Mr.. Tay-
lor is also collecting a few large
watermelons which will also be "pro-
cessed."
MIR. Taylor is accompanied by his
wife and was an interested spectator
and participant n the prosperity

ficulty. Mr.. Hayes returned Monday.

Transfers His Jurisdiction

Justice Sullivan of the state su-
preme court has transferred his jur-
isdiction from the bench to his peach
orchard on the east slope and it put
ting in over time in picking peaches
instead of unraveling legal knots. The
sun is playing havoc with his com
pleXion and he has swallowed so much
peach fuzz that he will probably have
to take his stomach to barber shop
to have it shaved when he gets
through with his job. Charlie Hart
ley says the judges peach crop is the
best in the valley, which is the height
of fattery. The trees are yielding
from 10 to 20 tons to the acre. His
brother, A. j., is assisting with the
of the crop and will have
charge of the orchard during the next
year.
