A Good One

A hose in the ground is a queer
thing to cause a mystery and yet this
has excited no small amount of COM
ment in this city for the last two days
Harry Mcknight, who lives at 46O
Water avenue, went to take a rubber
hose Sunday to put it in the shed for
the winter. The hose has been coiled
up for the past two weeks and had
not been touched. When he pickd it
up he found that one end of it was
struck into the hard earth. He pulled
on the hose to get it out of the ground
but had no success and finally got a
showed to dig it out. He dug down
about four feet and the hose was till
in the ground. When the hose was
measured it was found that eight or
ten feet was missing and evidently in
the ground. The ground around the
hose where it lay coiled up was solid
and the hole where it entered the
ground on every side is solid. There
was only very small quantity of
loose earth on the top of the ground
which looked like a small ant hill.
Many people have seen the strange
phenomenon but no person has yet
been able to explain it. Several have
volunteered to dig the hose out and
this afternoon an attempt will be
made to find out what is pulling it into
the ground. All attempts to pull the
hose have failed and queer fact is
that it is still going into the ground at
rate of about two inches every "a
hours. The course of the hose was
straight down for about two feet and
then veered off at a slight angle. The
mystery is hard to expain from the
fact that it is evident that no hole
has been dug for the hose and the
great depth which it has attained

Idaho Fruit to Philippines

The first fruit in carload lots ship

and Emmett by the Idaho-O Oregon
Fruit Growers association. The
species of fruit was Ben Davis apples.
Two of the cars came from Fruitland
and one from Emmett. State Horti-

so far as the records show this is the
first consignment of fruit billed to the
Philippines. The apples will be de-
livered to the purchasers at Manila.

GO TO GEM COUNTY
So Advises Eastern Business Man
After Perusal of The Index

After Perusal of The Index
Governor Alexander mailed out 100
copies of the Gem County edition of
The Index, and the following very
complimentary and highly appreciat-
ed letter was received this week, in ac-
knowledging receipt thereof, from Ed
ward ]. Bromberg of Boston, Mass:
Editor Index:
"a copy of the Gem County edition
of the Emmett Index under date of
October 18th last, was mailed me by
some one whom / would like to thank
for their kindness.
"Not knowing who the Individual
is, looked up the name of the editor
on page of the paper, and am there
fore taking this opportunity of thank
ing the generous sender through you.
Permit me to say that you GER
tainly have gotten out "some paper"
There are many larger communities
right here in Massachusetts,, and
throughout our entire ancient Eastern
civilization that can make no such
showing as The Index has made.
"Not only does your paper show
the true spirit of progress, and bona
fde hustling, but its make up, its
literary excellence, and the careful
construction of your various stories
and articles, are a credit to Gem
County, to the State of Idaho, and a
tribute to American journalism.
"We people of the conservative East
have always entertained notion that
the great West is sparsely settled
country where the use of good United
States is more or less taken liberties
with, and where general information
is none to plentiful. The edition of
The Index disproves this idea abso-
lutely. Not only is your journal
breezy, newsy, and up-to-date, but the
style of your advertisements, your
numerous cuts, the tone of the edi-
torial columns, and the general de-
scription of events, is of as high an
order as that of any Eastern paper.
"Were Horace Greeley of the old
New York Tribune alive, he would
surely say, after careful perusal OF
The Index, by all means, young men,
go West, and go to Gem County, Ida
no, where there is plenty of chance for
good hustling and live wires to make
good
"Wishing you nothing short of COM
plete success, I remain
Sincerely yours,

APPLES Al
THE EXPOSITION
Tied for HOnors With Big Fruit
Districts of Oregon and
Washington

The five boxes of White Winter
Pearmain apples which were sent to
the San Francisco exposition to COM
pete for world honors, have given a
good account of themselves. In let
ter to B. C. Bowers, DR.. N. B. Barnes
says the Emmett apples were tied
for honors with four of the leading
Sruit districts of the coast, including
Hood River and when he wrote the
judges were celebrating over the
question of superiority. So win or
lose, Emmett apples have achieved
honors much greater than expected,
owing to the fact that practically all
the best Pearmains had been sold,
and there were not to exceed $50 boxes
from which to make selections. The
five boxes were picked from apples
grown in the Mont Reed and N. B.
Barnes orchards.
Mr.. Barnes says that Hood River
is the only district that outclasses the
Idaho apple exhibit at the exposition.

IMPROVEMENT BONDS
SOLD
Denver House Buys Them at Par
and Accrued Interest at
6 Per Cent

The bond issue of $5740 of Emmett
Improvement District No. 1 was sold
to J. M. Wright & Company of Denver
at meeting of the city council Mon
day night. The bonds are taken at
par, less accrued interest, at per
cent. The company was represented
by V. 7. Craig.
There were four bidders. All the
bids offered par, less accrued interest,
so that the guaranteed cost of issuing
the bonds (printing, attorneys fees,
etc. was the deciding factor for the
Wright company, who were the loves
being S135. me Hanchett Bonding Co.
of Chicago, represented by L. A.
Trowbridge, was $40 higher. The
Lumberman Trust Co. of Portland,
Ore, bid 1925 and Price & Co. of Seat
tie, bid S191.5O. These two latter com
panies were represented by R. B.
Shaw.
Considering that Boise few days
ago sold $4,000 bond issue at the
same figure, the deal is a good one.

A feature of the coronation cere-
monies in Japan is the fact that for
the first time in history representa-
tives of the common people take part.
For twenty-five centuries none but
the nobility were invited or allowed at
the ceremonies. The new mikado, like
his father, has lost no opportunity
of showing his interest in and love
for his people, and has received dur
ing the three years he has been rul-
ing the most answering loyalty and
devotion. The reign of the late en-
peror Mutsuhito will always be looked
back upon by the Japanese with pecul-
lar reverence; but the new era is full
of promise.

BOND FUNDING PLAN
CONSIDERED
Conference of Officials Over Can
Won Canal Bonds Ends With
out Results

A conference of Emmett Irrigation
District officials and Edmund Seymour
of New York, chairman of the bond
holders committee, was held in Boise
this week, lasting all day Tuesday
and Wednesday and Tuesday night, to
consider bond matters. The PROPOSE
ton submitted by Mr.. Seymour was
rejected The district was represent
ed by Directors Shane and Reynolds,
and Andrew Little, ]. M. Johnson, j.
E. Clinton, J. R. Fields and others
were present.
The proposition of the bondholders
amounted, in brief, to agreeing to
provide $4,000 in cash, refunding of
the bonds with deferred interest add
ed and a dismissal of pending law
suits. The directors submitted as a
counter proposition the Morrow plan,
which was printed several weeks ago
in The Index, which a few modifica-
tions, which was rejected by Mr.. Sey-
mour.
The directors, seeing that the bond
holders were not disposed to arbitrate
on satisfactory basis, decided the
district would come nearer to receiv-
ing its just rights at the hands of
the courts and will settle the matters
in controversy that way.
