The Schuman Quintet

The Schumann Quintet, sterling
organization of five artists, with Carl
Lampert, for nine years first violin in
the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, as
leader, is one of the all star at
fractions on the local Lyceum course
this season. The great organization
brings to the Lyceum a genuinely new
idea, that of presenting symphonic
concerts" with a company of only
five musicians. The securing of the
symphonic effect is brought about by
a specially constructed reed organ
which is carried by the company.
This gives all the wind and reed ef-
facts of large orchestra and, COM
bined with the piano and stringed in
struments, produces an effect as sur
prising as it is unique. To create
added interest the Quintet gives its
program setting of historic cos
tunes, but the costuming is only incl
dental.

APPLE BUYERS PAY 81
TO 65 CENTS
Three Carloads Bought at That
Price-Two Cars Winesaps
One Rome Beauties

Three carloads of apples were
bought here this week by Eastern
fruit companies. Two cars were Wine
Saps and one car was Rome beauties.
The price ranged from 65c to S1.00 f.
o. b. Emmett.
The two cars of Winesaps were pur-
chased by L. " Stewart, representing
the Applegate company and the other
car was bought by Mr.. Russell, Who
represents a firm that IS probably the
biggest handler Of peaches in the
United States. The sellers were l. A.
Flagler, Judge Sullivan, J. R. Fields
and J. /. Guthrie.
This sale pretty near cleans up all
the marketable apples left in this
section. Mr., Flagler, while not
having a large crop of apples this
year, has secdred very satisfactory
prices for them. His Delicious ap-
pies, about 25O boxes, he sold for
S1.5O per box in Boise, and his Stay
min Winesaps brought him $1.10 in
Boise. Of all varieties he had about
$50 boxes.

FARM BUILDINGS BURN
Heavy Loss Sustained from Fire on
Haley Ranch Near Montour

Sparks from an Idaho Northern en-
CINE were responsible for fire that
destroyed the granary, barn, 100
bushels of grain, hay and quantities
of flour, wood, clothing, furniture and
farm machinery, on the DR.. Haley
ranch a few miless west of Montour,
last Thursday afternoon.
The ranch is somewhat isolated.
MIR. JONES, who has the place rented,
was away from home and Mrs. JONES
and the two small children, who We're
alone, were powerless to quench the
flames. Mr.. Sheldon and a neighbor,
seeing the fire, hurried to the scene
and they Were j>iGed by : passerby.
Their efforts were concentrated upon
saving the house, and this was accom-
pIished after a hard fight. The upper
floor of the granary was used as
bedroom and clothes closet, while. the
lower floor contained 100 bushels of
grain and considerable flour. The
barn was full of hay and there was
also stack of hay near by. All were
consumed and Mr. JONES lost the pro-
duct of his entire summers work in
less than an hour, and DR.. Haley lost
the buildings and all his farm ma
cb;pa,.u

Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes

The conservative Methodist church is
not in the habit of conferring the honor
Of being elected bishop upon its young
men. When it does confer that honor
upon young man it may be set down
as a fact that there are inherent in the
recipient of the honor some qualities
which make the receipt of it as much
a tribute to the good judgment of
the church as to the abilities of the
newly chosen Bishop. Such was the
case when Edwin Holt Hughes was
elected to the Bishopry at forty-one.
His election was case of fitting a
big man into big place. A born
leader, progressive thinker, and a
tireless worker, he had given service
which commanded recognition. He is
one of the greatest public speakers
which has ever graced the Lyceum
and Chautauqua platform, and his ap-
pearance here in the near future will
be an educational and inspirational
event.

Rev. Hover to Washington

Rev. Oliver Hover, pastor of the
Christian church of this city, has re-
signed to accept a call to the pastor
ate of the federated church at Top
nish, Wash, and he and his family
will leave in few days. Mr.. Hower's
hobby during his pastorate has been
"a federation of the churches, and the
call to this new field gives him an op-
portunity to put his theories into
actual practice. The two churches
that united at Topnish were the Con-
gregational and Christian denomina-
tions. The federation was effected
some time ago and has proved great
big success from religious as well
as an economic standpoint. Mr.. Hover
states that the sentiment IN favor of
the Presbyterian joining the fedora
ton is strong and will probably be
effected soon. 1t is pity that all
communities cannot follow Topnish's

home at the mouth of Sulphur creek

be a regular annual visitor. Among
lis purchases was goodly quantity
of apples from Denney & Co. The
goods were shipped by rail to Lake
port and from there will be packed

promising mine there and has dug a

Fine Apples from Orchard Compan

Fine Apples from Orchard Company
A box of Rome Beauty apples from
the trees of the Idaho Orchard COM
pany and presented to The Index by
S. G. Knee, caretaker of one of the
orchard tracts, are very fine, and give
one an idea of the future possibilities
and attractiveness of the orchards
being grown by that company, of
which Miss Merrill is manager. The
apples are perfect in coloring and the
flavor is delicious. In size they are
above the average, which is to be
expected of young trees. As the trees
grow older and bear more heavily the
size will become normal and more
typical of the variety. Besides Rome
Beauties, the orchards produced a
very good showing of Delicious and
Grimes Golden varieties. Within the
next two or three years the trees will
reach their full bearing stage and
produce enormously. Miss Merrill
has stayed with the proposition
through the tree growing period with
admirable pluck and will now begin
to reap the reward for her labors and
sticktuitiveness, which she richly de-
serves.

Company is most engaging, consist

Letter in the singing company, and
MIR. Harrison w. Burch, accompanist.
All four of the singing artists have
won places of prominence in musical
America, and Mr.. Burch is one of the
most brilliant young pianists on the
platform. They give a program with
popular appeal yet always satisfy
ing to the most critical. The opera
Mikado has been specially arranged
for their use, and has all the charm of
the original production. In fact it
is questionable whether the opera has
ever had a stronger cast. The un-
qualified approval of American music
lovers has been placed upon the work
of the Oxford Company. Every mem
Der of the great organization is a
solo artist, and in ensemble numbers
the company stands with the best
singing organizations of the country
