SNOW IN THE GOOD
OLD SUMMER Time
An Inch or More in Valley-NO
Damage to Fruit or
Vegetation

When the people of the Emmett
country awoke from their slumbers
Friday morning, they were surprised
to see the ground covered with man.
tie Of snow. 1t lay on the ground to
a depth of an inch, and trees, bushes
and vegetation were covered. As the
day progressed the snow turned TO
rain and that that had fallen soon
disappeared. On the hills and the
butte, snow lay several inches deep,
at this writing traces of it can still
be seen. Adam Klingback says eight
inches fell on Squaw butte.
The picture presented in the early
hours was of bewitching beauty. The
limbs of trees in full foliage were
bent to the ground by the blanket Of
snow and formed bowers of fleecy
white and green, fit homes for fairies.
In the gardens, peas, lettuce. radishes,
onions and potatoes poked their heads
through the snow, shivered and, no
doubt wondered what had happened
Telephone poles looked liked gaunt
specters, and fence posts and wires
looked as if the May queen and her
satellites had spent the night parti-
tioning off chosen stretches of ground
in which to hold the festivities of the
morrow. Very little damage was
done. A few shade trees were un-
able to carry their burdens and top
pied over, and a here and there
branches were broken off.
During Friday night fears were
that a freeze would re-
suit and damage the magnificent fruit
crop, but there was not even a frost.
The precipitation was one inch, and
is of inestimable value to both the
irrigated and dry land farms. ItI
insures the wheat crop for
the dry land farmer.
The only ones who suffered losses
we're the sheepmen who had sheared
heir fiocks.

The result Tuesday rests with the
voters. If they ratify the creation of
Gem county, we are sure they will not
be sorry. In population, in wealth, in
ability to govern themselves econom-
ically and wisely, the people of Gem
county have no doubts or fears. Their
interests are common and closely iden-
titled. A vote for Gem county means
a vote for home, for better conditions,
for greater advancement, for the
privilege of spending our own money
in our own way and in our own COM
munities. Before you vote against
Gem county, think over it carefully,
conscientiously, partriotically. Don't
be led away by misstatements and re-
ports that may be circulated at the
last moment. Don't allow your pre-
JUDGES sway your better judgment.
Be fair to yourself and to your neigh
bor-your home people-and let the
fellows who see in the creation of Gem
county the loss of valuable prize,
do the worrying.

BIG FRUIT HOUSE To-
Gates HERE
Denny & Co. of Chicago Will Buy
Fruit-The Cronk Ware
house Leased.

F. H. Hogue, general western
manager for Denney G. Co., the big
fruit marketing agents of Chicago,
was in Emmett Monday and leased
the j. H. Cronk implement warehouse
in which the business of that firm will
be conducted the coming season. C..
H. Martin, practical fruit grower
and packing house manager, will have
charge of the Emmett branch. All
kinds of fruit will be received and
packed, from small shipments to car
load lots, and complete line of or
chard supplies, such as spray ma
chimes, spray material, boxes, crates,
baskets, paper, etc., will be carried in
stock.
Denney & Co. have personal repre-
sentatives in all of the important mar
ket centers in the United States and
are recognized as one of the largest
car lot distributors of fruits in the
West. They have successfully oper-
obSu III bilS lO"SL L ~ CIIC anu oOlSS
valleys for the last 10 years, and last
year purchased over so carloads of
Emmett peaches and paid the top
prices for the same. The firm has
purchasing agents in all of the lead
ing fruit growing districts of Colo
rado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and Wash
ington.
Those who know state that while
last year was one Of the most hazard
ous ever experienced by the fruit
growers of the Northwest, the returns
received through the above firm, in
comparison with others, were very
satisfactory. AS one business man
puts it, "The cleanest, incest business
that ever came to the fruit growers
of Emmett was that done by Denney
& Co. last year."
The advent of Denney & Co. into
the Emmett field means a great deal
to the fruit industry of the commun-
ity. 1t means that the Emmett coun-
try as fruit producing section is at
tracing the attention of the big fel-
lows in the fruit business; it means
putting the marketing of fruit by the
Emmett grower on a stable basis.

A Great Fruit Crop

"The Emmett section will harvest
this year double the amount of peaches
ever raised in that section before, the
prune crop will be much heavier and
more apples will be raised this year
than previously owing to the number
of young orchards which will bear this
year for the first time" The above
statement was made this morning by
J. R. Field, former state horticultural
inspector, and owner of one of the big
ranches on the Emmett slope. Follow
ing the snow storm of last week, Mr..
Field made trip of inspection over
the orchards and found none of the
fruit had been hurt and in fact, he
states, the storm was just what the
country needed as it came at a time
when the trees needed moisture and
the ground is now in fine shape. Mr..
Field looks for good prices this year
and believes ranchers will have no
difficulty in disposing of their crop

Trustees Make Demand Upon
City for Districts Share of
Police Court Fines

At a meeting of the Emmettsville
school district a few days ago, a
resolution was adopted making formal
demand of the city for the payment of
half of the police court fines amount
ing to SOL, which have accumulated
during the last eight years.
The matter came up befor the meet
ing Of the city council Monday night
and caused no little discussion. Il
was finally laid over for action by the
new city officials.
The statutes of the state provide
that the school districts in incorporat-
ed towns and villages shall be paid
one-half Of the police court fines COL
lected by such cities or villages.
Through an oversight of the city Of
icials, or ignorance of the law, this
has not been done since 1907. The
trustees of the school district have al
so overlooked this source Of revenue.
Accordingly, no accounting has been
made of the fines for eight years. AS
the law is very plain as to the division
of the funds derived from fines, the
city will have to "dig up"

The bill for the creation of Gem
county was drawn by its friends, anc
every precaution was taken to safe
guard the interests of the residents
thereof. 1t specifically prescribes how
the funds of the two old counties
shall be divided. Gem county will as
sumo one-tenth of the Indebtedness
and will receive one-tenth of the cash
on hand, one-tenth of the taxes then
due, one-tenth of the delinquent taxes
when paid in, one-tenth of the ap-
praised value of all county property,
except bridges and roads. The bonds
are held by the purchasers, and not
by the county, and payment will not
be accepted until they are due. Most
of them run for 20 years. A
careful analysis of the assets and liza
bilities of Canyon county show that
Gem county will start out free of in
debtedness and with cash balance to
its credit

MOOSE TAKE OPENING
GAME
Defeats South Slope Team in
First Contest in Twilight
League-ScOre 9 to

The Moose team smothered the
South Slopers and drew first blood in
the opening game of the Twilight
league Tuesday evening. Score to 4.
The season was opened auspiciously,
so to speak, even though the weather
was cool and dark clouds threatened
to slop over. A good-sized crowd
turned out. An automobile parade, in
which were Mayor Cummings, Mayor
elect John, the band and enthusiastic
fans formed on Main street and pro-
ceeded to the grounds. The game be-
gan when Mayor-elect John wound up
and slammed the ball in the direction
of Mayor cummings, who encased in
regulation armor and looking like a
Knight of the Royal Order of Horse
hide Swatters, stood prepared to re-
ceiye it. But he never touched it; he
couldn't have done so if he were as
tall as telephone pole and stood or
a 20-foot ladder. For the protection
of human life lin the next county,
Finger Dave John was benched, and
John Clay put in the box to take his
place and the battle was on.
Really, there isn't a great deal to
say for or against the game. There
were no sensational plays or excit-
ing climaxes. Lack of practice was
apparent The Moose took the lead
at the start, scoring five times in the
first act. Four more were annexed
in the last inning.
The Slopers counted one in the sec
ond, when Crabtree went to first on
a safety, stole second and third and
score on a passed ball One more was
annexed in the fourth and two in the
fifth by the Obermeyer boys, when
Lou went to first on a hit and scored
on Henry's three bagger. The latter
scored on Polly's sacrifice.
Honors were pretty near even in the
pitching department. Both Miles for
the Moose and Clay for the Slopers
were a little wild at times. Miles

young American traveller who sud-
Derby becomes involved in the plot
of the story, and who before its termi-

The play entertained thousands for
years. Its humorous situations to-
gether with its absorbing dramatic
element makes the subject certain to
please both lovers of light drama and
those who prefer the big heart-throb
of tense, overpowering incident and
episode. In the film production the
laughs and thrills are carefully bal
anced so that at times it is difficult to
determine whether the subject is
comedy or serious drama until at the
very last flash the elimination of the
fascinating plot brings the conviction
that it is only real life after all.

Adams county was created, is 49 per

The levy in Washington that year
