COTTON TAKES
SEVERE TUMBLE
OF FIFTY POINTS

Decentralization existed for time in
the cotton trade today, doubtless as
the result of war conditions, and by
noon decline of fifty points or hale
cent, had been sustained One sheer
drop of forty points at a clip caused
Americus cotton dealers to sit up and
wonder. Later in the day the market
regained some of the loss sustained,
but was still nervous and unsettled.

tron of the Order of Eastern Stars
of Lewiston paid Electa Chapter No
% an official visit Tuesday evening
The initatory work of the order was
exemplifiied in very commendable
manner and received the approval of
the grand officer. The event was also
the occasion of the annual banquet by
the gentlemen members, and this one
surpassed all previous efforts. The
menu consisted of roast turkey and
dressing, cranberry sauce, dill pickles,
celery, mashSd potatoes, peas, French
rolls, mince and pumpkin pies, ice
cream, cake and coffee. The serving
by the gentlemen was performed with
neatness and dispatch. Barring few
broken dishes the event was equal to
the efforts of the most proficient
caterer in that line. The Emmett
capter is in very fourishing con-
dition and this event will be remem-
bered as one of the bright spots by the
membership.

STILL IN THE RACE

Emmett Apples Running Neck and
| Neck for Prize at Frisco Exposition
A letter received from DR.. N. B.
Barnes, dated November IA, states
that Emmett's five boxes of White
Winter Pearmain apples at the San
Francisco exposition are running neck
and neck with Hood River and Wen
atchee for the worlds championship,
the tie not yet having been decided.
The letter rads:
"Our Emmett apples have won
quite distinction in the internation-
al fve-box contest. The White
Winter Pearmains grown at Emmett
tied with the two leading districts,
Hood River and Wenatchee, on the
first box. examination. Haven't yet
received official announcement of a
break in the tie, though the jury has
before them second box of those
varieties. One of the judges gave me
a very fine compliment on the Pear
mains.
''The award as it now stands places
Emmett apples ahead of any others
entered from Idaho, of which there
were eight exhibits all told, and ranks
US among the best in the United
States, even if we do not get any
closer to the prize"

INSTALLING SAWMILL
MACHINERY
improvements at the McNish
Mill Taking on Big
Proportions.

The improvements at the McNish
sawmill being made by the lessees, the
Michigan-Idaho Lumber company, are
taken on big proportions and when
completed will give to Emmett
splendid manufacturing institution.
The machinery is arriving every few
days. The plant will have, besides
circular saw, gang of band saws,
three of which arrived this week,
steam feeding apparatus, endless
chains for carrying the logs from the
ponds to the saws and thence taking
the boards to the yard TO be sorted.
In addition there will be planning ma
chimes, edging machines, and other
machinery to finish the lumber for
flooring, siding and all other purposes.
Steam pipes to use the exhaust
from the boilers will run into the log
ponds to keep them free of ice so
that operations may be continued in
the winter seasons.
An expert from the Simonds Saw
company is here to install the ma
chinery.
1t is not expected that the mill will
be ready to run before the first OF
March.

SEED GROWING BRING
RICH RETURNS
More Than 10000 Pounds of
Clover and Alfalfa Seed
Cleaned

The clover and alfalfa seed bust
ness is getting to be no small thing in
the vicinity of Emmett and the local
growers are quite enthusiastic over
this comparatively new industry now
being engaged in by farmers and or
chardists in this vicinity. George John
son, of the Emmett Feed Mills, states
that 10000 pounds of clover and al
falfa seed have been cleaned at the
mill for this season and that the quail
ity is far above the average of that
grown in other parts Of the country.
The price paid has averaged over 15
cents per pound.
At that price it is possible for the
farmer to realize a net return for his
labor of over $50 per acre and or
chardists have made that much the
past season by growing clover seed
between their trees.
1t has been demonstrated the past
two seasons that this section is well
adapted to the growing of clover seed,
from the fact that during the ripen-
ing and harvesting period we have
our driest weather, which is often not
the case in other states and insures
the very best quality that is possible
to produce.
Ranchers in the Emmett valley have
also found it possible to grow good
crop of wheat or barley as a nurse
crop the first season and later in the
same season take off crop of seed,
as was done the past season by a
number of local people.
A large acreage will be planted the
coming spring and indications are that
seed growing will be one of our lead
ing industries in the future.

SHOT BY DRUNKEN MAN
Nephew of Henry Goul of Emmett
Killed at Baker City

Henry Goul of this city on Friday
received news of the killing of his
nephew, Leonard Goul, by an intox-
icated man, at Baker City, Ore. The
victim of the tragedy was black
smith. The Portland Oregonian con-
tained the following concerning the
murder:
Because he ordered stranger who
entered his shop, menacing him with
a rifle, to put down the weapon, Leon
ard Goul, blacksmith of Baker City,
Ore, was shot and killed shortly af-
ter o'clock this friday afternoon
before he could make move either
to escape of to defend himself. The
bullet crashed through his body, death
ensuing almost instantly. His as
sailant, whose sanity is questioned,
was taken into custody few minutes
after the shooting by Deputy Sheriff
the scene by the report of the gun.
According to the story told by W..
Walters, a helper in the shop, the
stranger appeared for the first time in
the morning, slightly under the infiu-
ence of liquor, looking for work. This
was refused him, and he went away.
When Walters returned to the shop
after dinner he found the man in the
place once more, damaging stock and
tools. Shortly after 2 o'clock the
man again appeared and threatened
Walters with a rifle. The helper ran
to the front of the shop, warning his
employer, but Goul faced about. "Put
down that gun," he ordered. A shot
rang out and Goul fell to the floor,
dead.
The dead man was 38 years of age,
had lived in Baker for several years,
and had a large circle of acquaint-
ances here. He is survived by a widow
and three children. His assailant,
after being lodged in the Jail, refused
to give any details concerning him
self and soon screamed himself into
exhaustion.

Sweet Mill Busy

A number of local ranchnlan who
have been hauling wheat to the Sweet

that that mill is doing good business
this seasons, having made over 5000
sacks of their "Gem" brand already
and they expect to make as much more
this winter. The mill is owned by
local people in the Squaw creek valley
and is an enterprise that should be
encouraged.

co N M UNITY CHRIST.
MAS Tree
Movement for One Big Outdoor
Christmas Celebration for
Everybody

One big Christmas celebration
for everybody in the Emmett
country! A big Christmas tree,
with brilliant electrical illumin-
ation-a present for every boy
and girl-the singing of Christ
mas carols by those assembled,
led by a big choir and accompan-
led by the Emmett band-all
with the starstudded heavens for
a roof and no walls to shut out
the pure, bracing airl Wouldn't
that be fine? And don't you
think it is the thing to do?
To make this a real success, the
churches would have to join, doing
away with their usual Christmas festi-
vities and all joining in one big,
friendly, neighborhood celebration
that will have no hint of sectariansm,
but all as broad and free as Gods
out of doors.
This idea is carried out in municipal
Christmas trees in the larger cities
and is quite popular, and is doing
much to bring about a unity of church
work and endeavor that is so desir-
able. There is no reason why the
plan should not become as desirable
and popular in the smaller towns, but
extending its scope to include both
town and country. Certainly it would
appeal to the children, and they are
the ones to whom Christmas means
much 1t will do them good-this
broadening the scope of the Christmas
celebration to include everybody, big
and little, poor and rich.
Tuck this suggestion away in your
head, think over it, and then-let's
have mass meeting, set the machin-
cry in motion and have great big
neighborhood Christmas tree-rain or
shine.
