We export some seasons to London
Glasgow, Scotland, where it takes
about twenty days or more for the
prunes to arrive at destination ana
they arrive in perfect condition.
l have seen green prunes placed in
! storage and taken out sixty days
after and they would be in perfect
condition.
Regarding the length of time that
prunes can be held in storage compared
to other perishable fruits, would say
that they can be held as long as any
fruit of the plum family, while they
would not keep as we'll as pears and
apples, yet, if they have proper stor-
age can easily be held from sixty to
ninety days; however, there is not
much storing of prunes, as the great
bulk of the crop is sold and consumed
at time of shipment
The Italian prunes grown in Idaho
are superior in flavor and keeping
quality to any prune grown anywhere
in the United States. This is a pretty
broad statement, but past statistics
will show that this is true. Eastern
buyers always pay premium for
Idaho prunes over those shipped from
any other section of the Northwest.

Dear Sir:-In reply to your ques-
tion regarding the prunes of Emmett.
First-How Emmett section COM
pares with other sections of the
Northwest as to possible damage by
frost?
l consider the Emmett fruit section
one of the most favorably located dis
tricts in the Northwest, since it is
provided with natural air drainage
as well as being protected by the sur
rounding rocky cliffs that hold the
heat after the sun has set, this with
the loose heat receiving soil is the
best protection known against loss
by frosts.
Second-What precent of the fruit
is marketed as compared to dried?
1t is an acknowledged fact that En-
NETT produces the best Italian prune
grown in the United States if not in
the World, and have always found
ready market in the ripe state, and
think the per cent about 5 cars of
dried prunes as against $50 green
shipped from all of southern idaho;
and these dried ones are usually of
the inferior order or they would be
shipped green.
Third What the keeping quality of
an Italian prune in eastern markets
that is how long will they hold up,
the longest possible?

west for the past 23 years / have

CITY HAS BILLS
TOBE PRESENTED
TO Legislature

Legislation needed for the city and
county is to be called to the attention
of the territory's lawmakers in the
early part of the session. This has
been made clear by Mayor Lane, who
has asked Supervisors Logan,
Quinn and Holl!nger to act as leg
islative committee.
Several amendments to laws now in
force have been proposed and they will
probably be threshed out by this COM
nittee before the present week is
over and put in shape to be present
ed to the legislature. Two of these
amendments relate to the direct front
age tax statutes. 1t has been suggest,
ed that the sections providing for the
district improvement bonds be am
ended so as to make the bonds a lien
upon the property of the district. The
city and county is now primarily liable
for the bonds. p = r.
Mayor Lane will probably have two
or three measures to bring forward
before the session is over.

SENATE QUICKLY
ORGANIZES And
STARTS BUSINESS
Democrats Succeed in landing
One or Two Proteges in
Patronage Places

With the closing bars Of Hawaii
Pcnoi,p played by Capt BeTger's band
in the kiosk of the capitol grounds,
the senators of the eighth territorial
legislature took their seats promptly
az 10 O'Clock this morning. Perhaps
the outstanding feature Of the, first
days session in the upper house was
the celebrity with which the solons set
tied down to real business.
without loss of time the members
plunged abruptly into their work and
by 1890 o'clock had perfected their
permanent organization and we're pre-
pared to hear the governors message.
Owing 10 the lateness of the hour,
however. and the fact that the lower
house was not quite ready for the
Joint assembly that portion of the pro-
gram was postponed until 2;15 this
afternoon. AT that hour both branches
Of the lawmaking body gathered In the
old throne room and heard the gov
ernor's address.
One other feature standing out rath-
er prominently in the organization OF
the senate was the failure Of the Re-
pnblicans' caucus plans, the roster OF
senate officials as outlined by them
going badly awry with the result that
the strong Democratic minority drew
FIVE out of the seven plums. This, say
the Republican senator's, was due to
the detection Of some one whom they
were depending on. s They were un-
certain as to the position Senator w.
T. Robinson of4Msui would take ans 1t
was said three Democratic members
had been pledged to vote with them.
They put through the election OF G..
+. Chillingworth as president, but 1t at
once became apparent that the caucus
plans were being upset, They thought
they should have, with three pledged
Bourbon votes. majority OF 10. The
vote stood Chillingworth 3, ]. L. Coke
4, one blank and Coke not voting. The
blank vote was cast by Chillingworth,
who naturally did. not wish to vote
for himself
The Democrats succeeded in elect
ing their own fayerites for the posi-
items OF yice-president, assistant clerk,
chaplain, sergeant-at1arms and janitor.
Did He Lose It7
The Rev. S. L. Desha, senator from
Hilo. called the senate TO order at 10
O'Clock. There was scurrilous story
going around sthis morning to the ef-
feet that some unconscionable person
had stolen Rev. Desha's manuscript.
The reverend senator did not deny the
story, neither did he admit its truth.
Y is true, however, that there was

at the Presidents desk; IT likewise is

China as follows:
/. That the Japanese government
should be given special privileges to

mines and steel mills in certain parts
of China. IN
2. That no portion of the Chinese
empire, aits territories or Island DOS
