Two of the real estate purchases
this week were made by two of EN-
mett's enterpring young men, Lee O.
Miles and Merton Cook, Mr.. Miles
bought the John Walters bungalow on

MAD COYOTES GETTING
CLOSE
Have Appeared on Butte and in
the Squaw Creek
Country

The rabid coyote situation in west
ern Idaho, which for a time was look.
ed upon as joke, has assumed such
proportions as to be positive men
ace. Mrs. George MCGOWAN this week
received letter from a friend al
Mountain Home which started that
mad coyotes had invaded the very
residence portion of that town and
had been shot down in the streets.
Coyotes affected with rabies have
also appeared on the butte and in the
Squaw creek country, according to the
Sweet Sentinel. That paper says:
Adam Klingback, who lives at the
south end of the butte, was in town
last Thursday, and reports the killing
of a mad coyote near his place. He
saw the coyote out among the stock
and went to get his gun, but had a
hard time getting the only shell he
had in the gun. The coyote came up
to the house and went on east to the
nearest neighbors and Mr.. Klingback
followed and shot it, but the shot only
stunned the animal, which started to
run. After borrowing his uncle's gun
he followed the coyote for about
mile and half before he succeeded
in killing it.
A. L. Mathews, who lives about 2
miles above Ola, was in town Tuesday
and reports having killed his full
blooded Scotch collie the day before,
it being affected with rabies. Mr..
Matthews and his son were working
in pasture and the dogs were fol-
lowing; they crossed a little stream
and as soon as the dog touched the
water it had fit and got up and
attacked the boy, who checked her by
dropping some poles on her he was
carrying. Mr.. Matthews was soon to
the boys rescue and attracted the
dogs attention and kept her off from
until the boy got on a horse
and rode to the house for gun. 1t
took six shots to kill the animal; each
shot striking just back of the fore
leg. Mr.. Matthews says that about
10 days before this incident occurred
a passing dog was attacked by his
dogs, but nothing was thought of the |
matter until the above occurred. 1t |
is supposed the passing dog was af-
iicted with rabies.

B. B. Davis Sells Out

After a period of about II years
in the drug business in Emmett, B
B. Davis this week sold his Rexall
store to George Haley and Lee O.
Miles. The new firm took possession
this morning. 1t will take sometime
to get used to the Rexall store with
out B. B. Davis there, but his success
sors are bright, capable and enter
prising young fellows and will main
tain the splendid reputation enjoyed
by its original owner. Mr.. Haley has
been Mr.. Davis's right hand man for
five years or more. He is a graduate
of the Philadelphia College of Phar-
macy with the degree of Doctor of
Pharmacy, title, it is said, possessed
by only one other druggist in the
state. Mr. Miles has for number of
years been valuable employe of the
government forest service in the En-
NETT office. He is a man of good
habits, trustworthy and well liked.
He will remain with the forest office
until he completes the job of seeding
a large tract of timber land in the
forest. He will then devote his at
tention to his new vocation. The sue
cess of the new firm is assured. B.
B. Davis's plans are indefinite. He
will spend the summer here settling
up business matters Then he will
decide whether he will stay or leave.

ALL POWER COMPANIES
MERGE
Idaho Oregon, Idaho Railway
and Idaho Power Companies
Under One Head.

By the consolidation of the Idaho
Oregon Light & Power company, the
Idaho Railway Light & Power COM
pany and the Idaho Power & Light
company the costly competition the
three companies have engaged in for
the past two years in southern Idaho
is to cease. The National Securities
corporation has been organized as a
holding company to take over the Sc
curities of all three. Plans are now
being formulated for the operation of
all three corporations by on operating
company to be organized as a subsid-
iary to the holding company. This is
probably the initial move toward
placing all power companies in south
ern Idaho under one control.
All conditions necessary to the
forming of the merger will probably
have been complied with by April 10,
which is the date set for the turning
over to the National Securities cor
poration of Idaho-O Oregon securities.
Already the companies have ceased
their fight and the Idaho Power &
Light company has discontinued the
work that was in progress on the
building of an extension into the
south side field, and into the Payette
valley.
The cessation Of hostilities means,
not the absorption of one company by
another, but the reaching of an agree
ment between the factions that for
the past two years have been con-
Quoting a relentless was for increased
territory and duplicating each others
systems.

HOME INDUSTRY week
APRIL 1918
Ladies of Crescent Improvement
Club Are Working to Make
1t Successful

With their customary enterprise the
ladies of the Crescent club have plan
ned to not only duplicate the success
| attending their campaign for the OBJ
servance of Home Industry Week of
last year, but are confident their eff
forts will be more successful
The week of April from the 18th to
the 18th has been stsected for the pur-
pose and during that time home pro-
ducts will occupy the center of the
stage with the lights turned on to
their limit. Just what it means to
every loyal Idahoan, and just what it
means to Emmett people in particular
is for them to decide, but they will
not have much trouble in doing SO.
The movement is fraught with the
greatest Importance to every manu-
featuring institution in the state. It
should receive the hearty support of
every Emmett merchant and every
Emmett resident and farmer, and dur
ing that week, at least, Idaho products
should be given the preference in the
household, in building and in wear
ing apparel. 1t is hoped and expect
ed that the habit will grow until every
day will be Home Industry Day, and
every purchaser of goods will demand
the product of his neighbor's labor
and skill. When that time comes, just
that soon will the prosperity of the
state in general and this section in
particular become permanent and just
that soon will the ladies be satisfied
with their work.
One day of the week, April II, the
Crescent Club ladies will serve a
Home Products dinner, at which moth
ing will be served without the "Made
in Idaho" brand, unless it be some
necessary article that is not possible
to produce in this state, and those
who patronize the dinner will be sur
prised at the quantity and quality of
Idaho-made goods
Let everyone bost for Home Indus
try Week.

A POWERFUL PLAY
''Tess of the Storm Country" at Elec-
trio Theatre Monday April 5.

In "Tess of the Storm Country"
the latest and one of the best of the
Famous Players, which the manage
ment of the Electric Theatre is pre-
senting Monday, April 5, Mary Pick
ford in the title role attains a drama
tic triumph greater than any that has
as yet distinguished her phenomenal
career. "Tess of the Storm Country,
the drama of woman's unconquer-
able faith, written by a woman, who
knows her sex, will appeal to the en-
tire feminine population of the world
and the other half. The story of
Tess, with her quaint philosophy of
life at once humorous and pathetic,
is one of the most powerful character
izations ever conceived. The theme is
full of uplift and the dramatic situa-
tions at times force a tear of which
one need not be ashamed. 1t is a
story of woman's heroism and sacri-
flee, containing a number of thrills,
with that sweetest of human
traits-compassion.
Admission 10c and zoe.

PRUNE PRICES FOR 1916
PROMISING
Earl Fruit Company Predict Big
Demand for Idaho
Product

Prospects for prosperous year fol
the prune growers of Idaho are very
promising, according to the Ear
Fruit Company of Chicago. This il
the information received few days
ago by A. A. Richards from that firm
Their letter follows:
"In reply to your letter asking how
| found times in the East and as tc
prospects ahead for prunes, | wish to
assure you that times are better and
they are going to get better right
along.
"This is particularly true in regard
to prospects for prunes.
''In checking over accounts, I see
you are entitled to a compliment for
the size of the prunes you produced
last year, and the price realized by
you goes to show that the dealers
appreciated it. You received higher
average on your prunes than any ship
per in Idaho that had any quantity
U move.
Eyes, times are going to improve
and there is going to be big demand
for Idaho Italian prunes. Just to
show you that we feel all right, l
wish you would let me know if you
would like some money advanced, even
for an automobile. Don't be bashful
as to the amount as it will go forward
by return mail.
"lf we control 80 percent of the out
put of Idaho prunes, we are satisfied
we can market same to better advant-
age than any firm in the business, ana
make returns which would justify
people buying prune orchards at
$1,000 and $500 an acre"

LOWER INTERIOR RATES
Railroads Would Favor Interior Points
by Abrogatig Long and Short Haul

Transcontinental railroads termin-
ating in Portland and on Puget sound
are preparing to reverse themselves
in the historic long and short haul rate
question.
After nearly 20 years of persistent
effort in opposing Spokane and other
interior cities in their fight for lower
proportionate rates, based on the
rates to the coast terminals, the Pan
anna canal has forced the carriers to
face about and propose rates to the
interior points even lower than were
asked for in the Spokane rate case.
They have presented their proposals
to the interstate commerce commits
sion, and the commission is to hold a
hearing April IL, at Washington, D. c.
Shippers of northwest coast points
are preparing to protest against the
proposed low interior rates. Repre-
sentatives of the Portland and Seattle
chambers of commerce conferred
here Tuesday on the question. 1t was
announced that they would be repre-
sented at the coming hearing at
Washington.
Participants in Tuesdays confer
ence said that because the canal had
made competition by the railroads to
coast points improbable the railroads
had decided upon lower interior rates
in an effort to increase their business
there.

Were Remarkable in Size

AS will be observed by the forego-
ing letter, Mr.. Richards prunes were
complimented for their quality. Twen-
ty-one carloads were shipped from the
Westlake orchards last fall. The re-
cord of the pack is remarkable.
Fifty-four per cent of the entire crop
of Italians packed 5x5; 46 per cent
5x6, and one crate of specially selected
Italians were 4x5, the only crate of
that size of Italians ever produced in
the orchard. Of Silver prunes, IL
crates were packed AKA and IL 4x5.
The crop consisted of 21,282 crates
and the record in detail is given be-
low.
