ADVANTAGES OF
COLD STORAGE
SPECIAL ADVICE TO APPLE
GROWERS FROM THE DEPART.
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.

"In view of the large production oi
American Apples, and the interfer.
snce with European markets, the
Department calls attention Of the
growers to the advantages CT cod
storage for steadying the markets,
and lengthening the selling period
Glutting of the market will result
in much lower prices.
''The function of cold storage is
to retard ripening, decay and blem-
ishes, the first responsibility for
keeping quality, res's with the
grower since it is his handling
methods that determines its vitality
freedom from disease, blemishes etc
Cold storage is not remedy or a
restorative for poor imperfect fruit
but 1t is the MOST EFFECTIVE
method of preserving the quality
tlaN o.. ano appearance possessed by
the fruit at time of picking.
The following facts are establish
ed to influence the keeping quality
of fruit and furnish the bet condi
tions for long storage:
First. Proper maturity at time
OF picking.
Second. Care in all handling
operations.
Third. Prompt storage after pick
ing.
Fourth. A proper storage TEN
perature, uniform under all condi
tions.
'It has been fully demonstrated
that fruit picked at full maturit,
can be held for longer time ID
cold storage, and is less affected b.
scald and decay than that picked
when. somewhat immature. Full ma
turity, however is not over maturity
each grower should study his owl
fruit and conditions to determine
the proper picking stage. Probabl,
the most reliable single indication
of maturity is the whitening O

We expect to see an increase from
Sunday to Sunday both in interest
and numbers. The pastor will start
q special class for young married
people next Sunday; every young
married man and his wife who are
not attending Sunday School else
where, are invited to enter the
class. We were glad to see goodly
number at the preaching services
both morning and evening last Sun
day. In spite of the inclement wealth
er, a large and interesting number
of young people were present in
the evening and suggested to the
pastor a series of sermons especial,
" adapted for young people. Begin
ming on the last Sunday evening

Color" of the fruit This is the
color underlying the blush or red
color and should not be confused
with the latter.
Prompt storage after picking is
most important, delays Of 10 days
or two weeks are especially injuri-
ous. 81 to 80 Degrees F is the
standard storage temperature for
apples, higher temperatures ripen
the fruit prematurely, uniformity of
temperature is most important to
insure color, quality and texture"
Chicago and Kansas City report
that owing to the eggs In store, also
the vast quantity of lard and meats
sold to Germany and Austria, that
cannot be moved at present, the
Storage for Winter Apples will be
very limited and has been nearly
all engaged. Prominent and conserva-
tive Apple men advise storing all
keepers and avoid the slump at
the rush, good prices must prevail
later.
Some storage can still be engaged
at the PAYETTE COLD STORAGE,
with the most scientific modes oi

EDITOR PLEADS
NOT GUILTY
WE ATE THE APPLE AND THAT
WAS ALL-JoKE is ON THE
COLONEL.

The following communication has
been received at this office:
Payette, Idaho, Sept. IA, 1915
Mr.. Editor: The Payette Cold Stor-
age Co. read in last weeks paper,
that you had enjoyed a Jonathan
apple from the Nrop of 1914, grown
at Twin Falls. and that it was still
in excellent condition, etc The
Payette Cold Storage Co. is very
glad you had the opportunity, also
the pleasure, and as those apples
were placed in the Payette Cod
Storage on September 2S. 1914, re
naming there until about a weel
ago, some credit for the ability t.
hold delicate apples like the iona
than for a whole year, should bt
given the only house in Idaho abl'
to do so. If that apple created any
longing for more like it come ovel
and get some from Twin Fails also
from little old Payette Valley.
Yours truly,
CHARLES F. MULLER
Our good friend must have beer
dreaming over a mug of hard cidel
squeezed out of Cold Storage apples
grown in little old Payette Valley
when he penned the above mdict
ment against the editor of the
Enterprise. We ate the apple
Adam-like because it looked so good
but we didn't give to Twin Fall'
the credit Of producing it and /
Colonel Muller hadn't let the ca
out of the bag about 10000 peopl
who religiously peruse the locs
columns of the Enterprise woul
never have known that Twin Fa1'
did produce it. However we fee
chagrinned at having overlooked tn
fact that those Jonathans owed tn
excellence of their quality to tn
FPayette Cold Storage, an institutio
Iot which every citizen Il proud.

POSSESSION
IS A FELONY
SAYS SUPREME COURT IN DEcls-
ION WHICH SUSTAINs THE
coNsTlTUJIoNALITY OF LAW
WHICH PROHIBITS MANUFACT-
URE, SALE, TRANSPORTATION
OR POSSESSION OF INToxIcAT-
ING LIQUORS.

The district Judge at Pocatellc
who handed down a decision hold
ing the drastic liquor law passed BY
the last Idaho legislature unconstitu
tional, might have been saved the
trouble and the liquor interests theil
short-lived exultation If he had JUS
allowed the supreme court to take
the first instead Of the last shot al
the question,
The supreme court on Saturday de
MED the application made by Ed
Crane of Latah county for writ OF
habeas corpus and sustained the va
lidity of chapter IL, session laws
1915 (senate bill No. 5O), holding in
IFS opinion that the statute, which
makes the manufacture, sale, trans
p7rtation or possession of intoxicat-
ing liquors in Prohibition districts in
Idaho illegal, is not in conflict with
the state constitution and Is a rea.
sonable exercise of the police power
of the state. 1t holds that there Is
nothing contained In the act that
is not germane to the general sub
iect or purpose expressed in the
title. The writ of habeas corpus was
-quashed and the applicant, Crane;
was remanded to the custody of
the sheriff of Latah county.
The opinion, which was prepared
by the whole court, is quite lengthy,
containing voluminous citations and
quotations of authority.
The possession of intoxicating
liquors within any prohibition dis
trict Is held to be a felony. The
law expressly provides for the pur-
chase and possession of pure al
cohol to be used for scientific pur-
poses, and the court holds that the
practice of medicine, surgery, dent
istry and dental surgery are sci
ences and that pure alcohol may be
lawfully procured under the terms
of the law in question in the man
ner provided therein for use in the
practice of these professions or for
any other scientific purposes.
The court says:
1--WE have reached the conclusion
that this act is not in contrayent-
ion of section 1 of the 14th amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States, nor of section 13. arti-
Gle 1, of the constitution of Idaho;
that it was passed by the legislature
with a view to the protection OF
the public health, the public morals
and the public safety. that it has
real and substantial relation to
those objects and that it is there
fore, reasonable exercise of the
police power of the state"

CLUB
AGAIN WORKING
AN ORGANIZATION OF INTELLEc-
TUAL WOMEN THAT is PROV
ING ITSELF TO BE HIGHLY
BENEFICIAL TO THE coMMuN-
iTY.
CBy the Press Correspondent }

The annual picnic of the Portia
Club, held sometimes in Sept smber,
sometimes in June, was held Mon
day at the home of Mrs. G. P. Lat
tig and marked the beginning ot
the twentieth year since its organi-
zaticn and the twelfth since federa'
tion.
There was a little chill in the air
Monday morning and the genial
hostess, with her warm hospitality
could not allow the club to mee-
with cool reception. so the guests
were ushered into a bower of beauty
and cheer. Reception rooms, hall
and porch were entwfned with Wood
bine and Virginia Creeper and a
blazing wood-fire in the fireplace
lent sparkle and cheer and was re-
Elected in the many faces present
Business of the club was SO IN

was not a tedious moment, and for
this the club is indebted to Mes
DANES Whalen and Riebeling and
to Miss Irene Sanger, Miss johnson,
the efficient and popular eighth
grade teacher, was present and gave
one of her humorous readings, in
her own inirnitable way. Mrs. Ainey,
for a penalty imposed by the presi-
dent, because she failed to preside
last year when she had chance,
sang not a solo but tune, and there
is difference.
A silent committee OF the club
whose mission is TO do, and to be
seen not heard had by means known
TO them, provided delicious refresh
ments which were served at the
close. Mrs. Ccughancur is chairman
of the above committee with Mrs.
Reilly as aid or abettor, ard the ef-
forts especially the results of the
conmetee are appreciated.
The next meeting, September 81,
will be guest day and an opportuni-
ty will be given to members to pay
dues for 1876, from September to
September 16. Club members from
A to z should feel 1t privilege,
rather than favor or duty, to pay
dues. When that sentiment obtains
efficiency will be the lodestar Of
the club.
The program for the next met
ing will be actually worth the price
of membership. A name fer member
ship should be given to the member
ship committee who will propose the
candidate. If by majority vote she
is elected she shall sign constitu-
ticn and pay annual dues, when she
will become member.
Four new names were added at
the first meeting as follows: Mes
danes Grim, Foster, Clingscale and
Miss Dunn. There is no reason why
the membership list should not reach
three figures before the New Year
With all dues paid.
The new year books will be ready

BRIDGE CONDEMNED.

County Commissioner Carl Giesler
accompanied other members of the
board to Parma last Friday for the
purpose of inspecting the Parma
bridge across the Boise river The
bridge has been unsafe for heavy
traffic for some time and it is said
that it will have to be condemned.
1t is an old structure, having been
built more than twenty years ago.
It is estimated that new struc-
ture Will cost $4,000, and it is not
improbable that an election viii have
to be called to get an expression of
the people of the county, if no way
can be found under the law whereby
suitable repairs can be made with
out having to involve the county in
the expense of an election, which
it is claimed would entail an addi-
tional expense of $1,000.

The folfo@ing communication which
was read but not considered or re-
ferred at the last regular meeting
of the city council, is a matter that
seems to be Of enough importance
at least to be called TO the atten-
ton of the citizens of Payette
through the public print.
The contention of the Michigan
Idaho Lumber Company that the
city has mo vested rights in a
canal through which its valuable
power privileges are derived is a
new issue that has been suddenly
flashed upon the city administration,
like a flash of lightning from a
clear sky. 1t may be only 'heat
lightning" or it may be the fore
runner of threatening storm, but
possibly it is matter that should
not be treated too lightly. 1t should
not be a question difficult to settle
beyond the possibility of any future
controversy.
Filings that were made years ago
by committee appointed by the
citizens of Payette and known as
the slough Committee" together
Awith deeds and other documentary
evidence in the possession of that
committee, has been considered
euarartee of illegally vested rights
Of the city that could never be ques-
toned. 1t is believed that the
"Slough Committee" will now make
public all the facts pertinent TO
the question, to the end that there
may be no unnecessary apprehen-
sion of danger to the city's inter
ests.
August 16, 1915-Clty of Payet e.
You are hereby notified that the
Michigan-Idaho Lumber Company HIS
acquired by deed from P. E. Short
certain parcels of land in Section IA,

pieces of land were conveyed sub
ject to the legally vested rights in
the canal which runs through one
piece of the said land, and the 49
slough in one riece of the land.
1t is the contention of the above
named Company that the City of
Payette has no legally vested right
to the use of the head7gate at the
head of the said canal that runs
through one portion of the said
land, or any right to convey water
through the said canal from the said
head-gate to the said 49 slough;
neither has the said City of Payette
sny right to run water through the
said 40 slough as 1t extends over
and across the piece of land inn
mediately above the dam on the
land of P. E. Short.
This is to notify you not to use,
improve, remodel, or in any way
change or interfere with the head
gate at the intake Of the canal
above described and ON the land
above described, or divert into, run
w9ter through the said canal lead
from the said head-gate to the
