No Observation
of Labor Day

From the present indications
Labor Day, Monday, will not be
generally observed as a holiday in
this city 1t is the intention of
both Of the sawmills to run as
usual on that day. AS the super
intendent of one of them express
ed it they have so much work on
hand that they cannot afford to
shut down. Besides This, the
men generally would prefer to
work that day than to lose their
time.
As the large mills do not in
tend to close down it is very prob
able that the other factories and
the small concerns generally will
run as usual and as the employers
OF labor and their men will make
no effort to observe the day, the
stores and business houses will.
in all probability, remain open
and do business as usual.
So far as we can learn the on
ly places that will be closed will
be the banks, which close on all
legal holidays, and the county Of
fees. The only thing outside of
this that will mark the day here
Twill be the Labor Day dance,
which will be held at the open air
pavilion on the fair grounds.

Several Arrests
for DrunkeneSS

There has been more drunken
ess in the city lately than at any
time for the past year. During
the month of August the police
arrested seventeen persons on
the charge of drunkenness, most
.of whom paid a fine of one dol
lar and costs, amounting to six
dollars apiece. Two of them
were sent to Jail and served out
their time while one or two gave
bail for the appearance and for
feited it.
Most, if not all of those ar
rested, were transients and the
police think that they obtained
their liquor outside of the county,
either at Spokane or Clarkia, for
the reason that in most of the
cases the men were new arrivals
and were drunk or partially so
when they left the train.
Both the city and county oflic-
ials believe that there is some
boOtlegging here and are
keeping a close watch for the
purpose of locating it but they do
not believe that it is being car
ried on to the extent that would
seem to be indicated by the num-
ber of drunks
The sheriff thought last Sat-
urday that he had located one Of
the places where boOtlegging was
being carried on in a boat house
owned by a man by the name OF
Ruppe. The man was arrested
for bootIegging about a year ago
and taken to Occur d'Alene, where
he plead guilty and the sheriff
thought he had returned to his
former business. Saturday a
search warrant was sworn out
and the boat house was searched
but no liquor was found. Tn.

Finds Error
In AppOrtiOnment
VALUATION OF COUNTY IS INCREASED
State Auditor OmitS Some Utilities Companies
Valuations in This County

Dean Perkins of Boise, secre-
tary of the state board of equal
ization, was in the city Wednes-
day. Before the board adjourn
ed it passed a resolution author
i2ing the secretary to visit the
different counties of the state and
make a thorough examination to
see if any Of the utilities compan-
les had been omitted from the
assessment or if there had been
mistakes made in appOrtiOning
the valuation of any of the util-
tiles companies among the diff
ferent counties.
He is now making a tour of the
northern counties and was here
on that business. He found that
there had been several errors
made in the valuation and ap-
portionment of the valuation of
property of utilities companies
doing business in this county.
He found that none Of the val
uatiOn of the Interstate Utilities
company, with telephone lines all
over the county and exchanges al

rel, Santa, Fernwood and Emida
had been apportioned to this
county. Neither had the valua-

the company was assessed for al

ty.

SPRAYING NECESSARY
FOR PERFECT FRUIT.
How To Prepare SeIf-BoiIed Lime
sulphur-Time For Applications.
T. B. SYMoNs,
Maryland Agricultural College.

The wise grower will aim to secure
the very highest quality of fruit pos
sible. In securing such fruit, the i'm
portance of summer spraying cannot be
0ver-estimated. We have hundreds of
instances where the hopes of remunera-
ton from good peach crop have been
blasted by brown rot, and good sized
peaches have brought poor returns,
owing to bad infection of scab.
Moreover, it is a common sight to see
apples seriously affected by one or
more disease, making the crop from
many trees practically unstable. In
order to prevent these losses, growers
should practice late spring and sum-
mer spraying.
In this connection, the adoption of
the lime and sulphur mixture as a
fungicidal treatment for fruit trees in
foliage, especially for peach. can well
be considered one of the greatest mod
ern advances in preventive treatment
Of disease. 1t can be prepared by the
grower in the following manner:
Use eight pounds of flowers or flour
of sulphur, eight pounds of stone lime,
to fifty gallons of water. The mixture
should be made in kettle, barrel. or
receptacle of sufficient size. Better re-
suits can be obtained with larger guam
titles. The necessary amount of I'M
slaked lime should be placed in the
receptacle and sufficient amount of
water poured on the lime to start it
shaking. When the lime begins to
slake, add the eight pounds of sulphur.
Stir the mixture and add water as
needed to keep a pasty condition until
the lime is all slaked Do not allow
any dark, yellow color to form, as it
will, If the heat becomes too great at
any point. If the sulphur is lump, it
may be put in finely divided condi-
ton by passing it through fine mesh
sieve. The heat generated by the
stacking lime causes the sulphur to
mix physically with the lime in very
fine state, but should not be continued
to form much of the sulfide combina-
ton indicated by the yellow or brown
color. Therefore, it is essential that
the proper amount of water be added
to cause'a violent boiling of the mix,
ture for few minutes and as soon
as the lime is well slaked, add cold
water to make the required amount.
The self-boiled lime sulphur is now
ready for use. The time to allow the
mixture to boil will vary accordingly
to the lime used, as some lime will
Stake more quickly than others 1t
should show only faint yellow color
before diluting.
