PERCH ARTISTS A
NEW SENSATION
Performers on Slender Perpen-
dicuIar Poles are the Worlds
Champion Climbers.
TO BE SEEN HERE ON RING
LING DAY

It is a common fallacy that the
most daring and expert climbers
and aerial workers today are
sailors, and the jolly tars have
always been more or less proud
of their achievement in this line
of endeavor. Recently, how
ever, some base landlubbers
have managed to wedge them
selves into a position before the
public eye and rob the man who
sails the raging main of his
laurels. These latter belong to
a new class of aerial gymnasts,
known as perch performers.
They have created a tremendous
sensation in the hippodromes Of
Europe during the past winter,
due to the thrilling and amazing
feats performed at such dizzy
heights and upon such slender
and trembling supports that it
seems almost impossible for the
performers to escape without
fatal accidents.
A number of these daring
perch performers are to be seen
in this city for the first time
when Ringing Brothers circus
comes here Tuesday, Sept. 18th.
The perch act number is one of
the costliest features of the
Ringing Brothers program this
season, and includes such ia
nous entertainers as the Mirano
Brothers, Andersen Brothers,
the three Jahns and the Grau
and Rodriguez Brothers.
These performers, all of whom
are foreigners making their in
itial bow to American audiences,
perform their difficult feats from
the tips of slender perpendicu-
lar poles of great length and
supported solely by the strength
of one man, who stands on the
ground holding the pole upright
from a socket attached to his
waist.
The perch acts are only one of
the many aerial novelties to be
seen at the Ringing circus this.
year. The big features of the
program is the massive new
spectacle, Solomon and the
Queen of Sheba, with it's cast of
1850 characters and grand bal
let of 300 girls. This spectacle
is produced for the first time this
season at a cost of $1,000 900,
and is said to be the most lavish
display of its kind ever present
ed in America.

HAYES BILL WILL HELP
0RCHARDISTS
Repeals Fruit Tree Tax and
Places Orchards on Same Basis
AS Other Property

The bill Of Senator Hayes to re-
peal the tax on fruit trees and to
place orchards on the same basis as
other agricultural lands for assess
ments purposes-that is, according to
their earning capacity-passed both
houses and has been signed by Cover
nor Alexander. The new law will be
welcomed by all orehardists.
The old law not only taxed orchard
land on the same basis as general
farm land, but also placed an addi-
tional tax on the fruit trees growing
thereon.The tax was graduated from 5
cents to 81 tree, according to age Of
trees. The Hayes bill repeals that
unjust provision and provides that
lands with orchards shall be assessed
as other lands are assessed in the
same territory.

CONTRACTS FOR EN-
NETT APPLES
c. ]. Sinsel of Boise Will Handle
Crop from 120 Acres of
]. E. Clinton

c. ]. Sinsel, the well known fruit
grower and dealer of Boise, while In
Emmett Tuesday contracted for the
entire crop of apples grown on the two
Wayman ranches on the bench, now
owned by James E. Clinton. The
contract runs for FIVE years.
The two ranches have 12O acres in
apple trees, which are years old
this spring. On ranch No. 1, on the
central portion of the bench there are
80 acres in apple orchard, divided as
to variety as follows: Twenty acres
Delicious, 20 Rome Beauty, 20 Jona-
thans and 20 Winesaps. On No. 2,
the Hanna ranch, there are 40 acres
in orcahrd. The apples are sold in
bulk on the trees in ton lots. The
price paid has not been made public.
The deal is an important one to the
Emmett country in that this is the
first time apples have been sold in
that manner, and forecasts that in
the future this method of buying En-
NETT fruit may become the rule rather
than the exception.

statements Tuesday. About four

showed no inclination to violence, but
after day or so proceeded into
