quantities of wool are stored and
shipped from Emmett each year, being
a product of the sheep ranges of the
Payette Forest reserve. Over a mill

season.

Emmett has good railroad facilities
being served by two branches Of the
Oregon Short Line, one connecting
with the main line at Nampa % miles
south, the other with Payette, also a

branch from Nampa, under the name
Of Idaho Northern extends some 80
miles beyond this point to Lakeport

not until the agricultural possibilities
of the valley had begun to be develop
ed with the aid Of irrigation that the
town really began to grow and become
modernized This was in 1900, From
then on until the present day the town
has grown and kept step with the
growth Of the rich fruit and agricul-

irrigation bitches were built and
some hundred thousand acres Of land
planted TO fruit and al | agricul-

and the city built up solidIy and sub

SONORA MELONS ARE HERE

There might be more people in favor of intervention in Mexico if they knew that watcrmelons are ripe down in Sonora A carload of ripe, red melons reached Phoenix yesterday morning, direct from Her mosillo. Sonora. Although small, these melons, of the Chilian variety are of very good flavor and give one good promise of what the Salt River valley will be offering in about three weeks or a month. The John F. Barker Produce company, which brought in the car received a car load at their Tucson house about two weeks ago. The earlier shipment was from Lower California, being shipped from La Paz on the penin- sula to Guaymas by boat, there by rail to Tucson. If Lower California can ripen watermelons by the first of May, it is no wonder that the Mexican government CD thinks so much of that peninsula appendage which by rights should be politically as well as geographically a part of the States"

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NE WYORK, June 3.-In it's consis- tent strength and increasing breath, tAe market served as striking re- hinder of the daily sessions which ac- companied the memorable advance Of last March and April. Trading did not attain large proportions in that period, but to a sufficient extent to make the movement noteworthy. U. s. steel lead the advance, the dealing aggregating 190, 900 shares, one quarter of the whole. Coppcrs were next in favor with aver age gains of two and three points on very large joint turnover War spec ialties were comparatively conspicuous, although advances in that group were of a substantial character, the same being true of automobile shares and other shares having no special classifi- cation. General motors made the greatest gain of any speciality, advanc- ing 10A points Half a score of rail- way investment stocks, mainly those of the international list rose 1 to points, but the demand for these issues was relatively light. Not until the close was it learned that the steel corpora tiOn won the suit brought by the fed eral government. A future rise in the copper group was traceable to a num- Der of specific causes, including greater demand for metal at high pric- es. Moreover it was argued that the new turn in the Mexican situation was calculated to work to the advantage of many large producing and smelling companies which have large property in the southern republic. For many days the highest quotations have been in the final hour. Sales amounted to 747.000 shares. Another feature was the decline of time loans to the lowest rates since April, 1911. Sixty and ninety day loans were reduced to two and ope-half per cent, six months to three and over one year to three and a half. Bonds were strong and more in general demand Sales represented par value aggregated at $3,122,OOO

PREPARE ID FIGHT
 FOR FILM PICTURE
Will Resist Attempt of Members of
 Colored Race to Prevent Showing of "Nigger" ~

A. J. Mcintyre, representing the Fox Film corporation Of Los Angeles, was in the city yesterday to look over the business here and to make arrange ments to fight any move made to stop the production of The Niger" MT Mcintyre in speaking of the film play last night, said: T don't know what objection the colored people here have to the play. It does not injure the race in thought or deed, and who ever stir red mp a feeling against the film did so without having seen it. That is has a sensational mob scene I will admit, but that it injures or reflects on the colored race we deny most emphatically. The story that the commission of the city will stop the film is like child's talk If the film is a violation of any state or city law then most assuredIv it will be out of line, but the talk of stopping it without it being proven unfit is all bosh. The Fox Film company has shown this film in every big city in the United States and while the film has come in at times for some criti- cism from socalled friends of the col ored man, it has always filled it's dates as advertised and will do so in Phoe- nix.
 The Niger, is from the book of Edgar Sheldon, called "The New Gov ernOr', and is billed to play in Phoenix the last of this week. The city com mission has warned the owners of the theater so it is said that they cannot show the film giving as the reason, that the colored people of the city ob- jected. But the theater people say they are going to show despite the warning and there you have it.
 The statement of Dr Mcintyre re lates to objections which several mem bers of the colored race here have been raising ever since the coming of the picture was announced. A request has been made by them of the city commis- sion to prevent its exhibition by ordin- ance. In such an event the film com pany will ask for relief in an injunction This is said to be the first time that any race opposition to the picture has been seriously raised.
