OF his ability to make his promise
good.
It only remains to be seen wheth-
er or not we are anxious for the
Improvement and ready to meet the
very modest requirements necessary
TO secure It.
There have been so few prelimin-
aries connected with the promotion
of this big undertaking that there
L. but little to be said, in addition
to the foregoing brief statement Of
the essential facts in the case.
Before another issue Of this news
paper the matter will doubtless have

has financed the proposition and
those who are in a position to meet
his requirements in relation to the
matter of securing the sight that is
desired for the building.

CLEAN UP ORCHARDS.

In an exhaustive report made fod
the benefit of fruitgrowers, Mr.. Gra'
nam calls attention to the necessity
of cleaning up orchards between now
and spring. He estimates the loss
of fruit this year from worms, scale
and blight to be in the neighbor-
mood of 100 cars. This he attributes
60 the unfavorable season for COM
oating different insects and disease.
The blight not only shortened the
apple crop, he says, but also killed
many trees so far as bearing for
next year is concerned. In order
that there may not be a recurrence
of the blight, he suggests that
owners of apple and pear trees see
that blight and blight cankers are
removed from trees before March.
The blight, he says, is caused by a
bacteria that works in the sap and
Is scattered about by bees and other
insects, mostly during the blossom
ing period.
ORCHARDS INFECTED.
Mr.. Graham further says that many
small orchards are infected with San
Jose scale, especially in the Boise
and Payette valleys. These trees
should be thoroughly sprayed with
lime-sulphur solution, he says, or its
equivalent, between now and March
or it will become necessary for the
department to cut them down.
COOLING MOTH NUMEROUS.
In his report Mr.. Graham says the
codling moth has been numerous this
season and he suggests that all culis
and dead fruit be removed from
orchards, as they afford ideal har-
boring places for the worms during
che winter months.
It will be seen from the above
figures that the three towns OF
Payette, Fruitland and New Ply
mouth, in the Lower Payette Val
ley, furnished more than one-third
of all the fruit shipped from Is OF
the principal fruit-growing sections
of Southern Idaho.
The Enterprise finds further, upon
investigation, that immense quanti-
ties of both apples and prunes were
handled by two by-product plants In
this city. The Denny Fruit Com
pany handled through it's drier 64S,-
O6S pounds of apples and 2S1,52l
pounds of prunes, while at the Ida
no Vinegar & Pickle Company's fac
tory they handled slet0o pounds OF
apples.

DON'T BLAME THE EDITOR.
The Fable Of the Village Actors Who
Wanted TO Branch Out.

Once upon time in a certain little
city there was given home talent
show. 1t Melted the Urlift Club for
ty-eight dollars in cold cash and
proved the town to be really over
flowing with dramatic talent. The
editor of the local paper said it was
one Of the best ever seen here" Little
Gwendolyn Bradley sang Il didn't
raise my buoy-hy to be a Sol-jer' to
the delight of all present. Bill Green
rendered brace of solos on his fid-
die, and Maggie Butterfield delight
ed the audience with the reading of
Paul Revere's Ride
But the great volume of applause
was given to Brown and Davis, who
furnished the comedy from Jokes
clipped from Bones Linament AL
manac. The editor of the local pap
er declared that this pair were vast
ing wealth Of talent by remaining
in so small town. Brown and Davis
agreed with him, resigned their po-
sitions in the village and went on
the sage
But someway or other it seemed
their sketch didn't make the hit il
any of the towns they visited that it
had made back home, and one night
both of them were terribly fright
|ened when the curtain was dropped
right in the midst of their act, strik-
ing Brown on the head. The manager
of the show, seeing it had missed
Davis, gave him a kick after the cur
tain fell and said he guessed that
would be all the damages he would
try to collect.
All of the above happened few
years ago. Now, at almost any noon
visitor to this little town may see
Davis hop off of a delivery wagon
and exchange an aluminium check
with Brown for loaf of Bunn's
bread.
MORAL-Don't blame the editor
of the local paper. Both boys parents
were subscribers.

NAVAL EFFICIENCY.
Situation Between United States and
Germany Cause Discussion
Naval Power.

The ticklish situation that has de-
veloped between this country and
Germany is causing each day closer
scru my of the question of naval
power
The opposition to an increase OF
the navy would be greatly diminish
ed, could our people feel confident
that the money was economically
spent. If the tax payer is convinced
that fixed proportion of navy mo-
ney is always wasted, he gives up the
additional sum for a new battleshi2
with very ill grace.
1t is generally admitted that the
United States has too many navy
yards, that duplicate plants are being
maintained where a smaller number
would do the work at far less cost.
Yet if a man should get up in Con-
gress next December, and move to
abolish a yard in any given section,
that proposal would be bitterly
fought by every Congressman from
that section. No one seems to look
at the thing from business point
of view.
Apparently the objection to abo,-
ishing useless navy yards is not SC
much the local demand for protection
against a foreign foe. 1t is the feel
ling on the part Of politicians that the
business community that depends on
the navy yards to sell supplies would
resent the closing up of yard. But
cheers and grocers would have to &c
out of business if yard were closed
That would mean the removal of fam
lilies, the local Congressman would
be blamed, and he would lose votes.
The people are asking the ques
ton with force and emphasis, wheth-
er navy yards, coaling stations, and
other equipment are maintained for
the sake of an efficient fighting force,
or to help politicians get reelected.
During the past IA years the Unit
ed States spent $1,656, 100000 on its
navy. Germany spent during the
same period $1,137O00,O00. Ger
many has by far the stronger fighting
force afloat, or it had until the fol-"
tunes of war depleted its fleet.
The people are getting more and
more interested in navy efficiency. 1t
will be a live issue at elections,
which congressman should realize.
