INTEREST IN PEARL MINES
Number of Mills in Operation and

H. A. Partridge passed through
town the forepart of the week from

his mining property. IN an interview
given to the Nampa Leader-Herald or
his return to Nampa he has the fol-
lowing to say of conditions there;
-Four or five mining companies are
working their properties in the Pearl
district and there is more activity in
the camp this summer than for many
years. Mills that have laid idle for
months are being opened up and can,
because of the increased price OF
nearly all metals, be worked with
profit l think. In the days when gold
was high, Pearl was a good camp and
with the return of similar pric'
see no reason why it should not re-
vive."
Mining property at Pearl in which
Mr.. Partridge is interested has been
bonded and leased and is now being
worked.

PEACH HARVEST /
FULL BLAST
First Car of Elbertas Shipped
Out MISUNDERSTANDING
of Baskets

From the Boise valley, from Canyon
and Washington counties, all roads
now lead to Emmett, the peach coun-
try of the state, for the peach har.
vest is now commencing and by Sat
urday will be on in full blast. The
South Slope looks like a tented city
but every nook and crook has a
quorum of tents.
The first car of Elberta peaches was
shipped out Wednesday, being shipped
by the Denney Packing Co., and con-
signed to Nebraska points. Today the
Fruit Association will ship out three
cars and Friday another car will
leave the Denney warehouse. The
peaches are ripening fast and it is ex-
pected that by Saturday that it will
be impossible to pick and ship them
as soon as they are ready.
A scarcity of peach baskets is
causing much anxiety among the
growers. Several carloads of baskets
were received. Many of the growers
have been compelled to stop picking
until the arrival of the baskets, ami
in many instances have been COM
PEELED to let their pickers and packers
go elsewhere.

Pheasant Farm

Ontario, Ore.-Louis Kroessin, On.
tario's veteran harness and saddlery
dealer, is one of the few men in the
United States to raise China pleas
ants successfully. Starting with one
setting from the state game farm last
year and raising IA, Mr.. Kroessin now
has rs. The pheaSants are kept on
so foot lot, enclosed with chicken
netting and has a cover of netting
over the top as the birds attempt to
fly out when young. The young birds
are harder to raise than a turkey, Mr..
Krosasin says. At many agricultural
colleges, incubators have been tried,
LUt with no avail as the birds have
little vitality and soon die if they
hatch at all.
No doubt eventually many birds will
be raised on the small farms as they
prove profitable. One puilet lays from
rs to 100 eggs during the season and
the eggs are marketed for from 81 to
81 per dozen. The birds sell for 81
pair or SO for three, and there is a
constant demand for them. State game
preserves, parks as we'll as owners of
large country places, are always ready
to buy China pheasants for the cocks
have beautiful plumage. The state of
Mr., Kroessin says,
has offered to buy several thousand
this year.

CHOLERA DEMONSTRATION
DR.. Johnson Will Address Farmers
Saturday on Hog Cholera.

DR.. Johnson of the Bureau of Ami
NAL Industry for the United States
Government is in the city and on Sat
urday will give demonstration and
talk upon hog cholera. This is a very
important meeting and should be at
tended by all hog raisers in the val
ley. The outbreak of cholera in this
section exposes the entire valley to
the dangers of the disease and unless
vigorous means are adopted to pre-
vent its spread it will mean a heavy
loss to those interested in hog raising.
In order that the best aid may be Civ
en- by state and county authorities,
every grower should be able to de-
tect the disease at the earliest pos
sible moment it appears in his herd.
DR.. Johnson will give full information
as to how to detect cholera and ex-
plain the methods adopted by the
government for fighting and prevent
ing the disease.
DR.. Johnson and Prof. Mccall, Can
yon County Agriculturist are in this
section and are treating a herd of
hogs on the Harry Workman
ranch, where the cholera has broken
out and number have died. Mr.. Nc
Call has been sent over here by the
Canyon County officials without cost
to Mr. Workman or this county.

Increase Directors

There is a movement on foot to H.
crease the board of Directors IF the
Emmett Irrigation District from to
7 members. At a meeting of the
board held Monday the proposition
was talked over with number of the
farmers under the Canyon canal, but
owing to the opposition of few of
the members of the board at this time
to increase it, it was dropped for the
present, but the farmers in favor of
the proposition expect to get out a
petition later praying the board to in
crease the members.
