her voice low. Her hand was still on

Celebrates Semi-CentenniaI

The 50th anniversary of the found
ing of Boise Lodge No. 2, A. F. & A.
M, was celebrated Monday evening
in Boise. This was the second Ma
sonic lodge instituted in Idaho, the
first being at Idaho City. The third
lodge was instituted at Placerville.
Very many of the old timers who be-
came Masons were initiated in one of
these three oldest masonic lodges.
Charles P. Bilderback was raised" in
Boise lodge AZ years ago when he was
21 years of age and Douglas Knox
followed a few years later. Mr..
Bilderback was charter member of
Shoshone lodge, which was an off shoot
of Boise No. 2, and was its master for
term. Shoshone lodge later dis
banded and returned to the parent
lodge. Those who attended the cele-
bration from Emmett were Douglass
Knox, Frank Knox, E. C. Rundstrom
and J. w. Tyler.

Mormon Organ To Go

The famous old pipe organ in the
Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake is
to be torn down within the next
month. The big music box has been
classed with wonders of the world and
has pleased the ears of more people
than any other instrument in the
United States 1t has outlived its use
fulness and is to give way to new
and larger instrument. The Mormon
church has just contracted to disman-
tie the tabernacle pipe organ and in
stall in its place a tremendous instru-
ment of 134 speaking stops. The new
organ will cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. The big pipe organ in Fes-
tival Hall at the Panama-Pacifc ex-
position has 124 speaking stops and
cost 100000. The famous Norman or
gan was built by Mormon workmen.

Zeh, of the Canyon County Abstract
c., are here from Caldwell this after
noon to confer with Gem county peo-
pie in regard to the contract for
transcribing the records. A meeting
is being held in the Commercial club
rooms this afternoon. Mr.. Knowlton
seems disposed to do the right thing,
and it is hoped the controversy may
be adjusted satisfactorily to Gem
county, as this county will have the
bills to pay.

Asleep in His Rig

A young man, name unknown, who
had attended a dance at Horseshoe
Bend Friday evening, drove into town
early Saturday morning asleep and
the reins dragging on the ground. The
team was one of dad" Demasters'.
They were caught in front of the cigar
store by Clate Knox and Elmer Hol-
verson The young man was awaken
ed. He had gone to sleep soon after
descending Pickett Corral hill and was
dead to the world until he was a
wakened in town. But his slumbers
did not end there Between the Rus
sell hotel and Boise avenue he went
to asleep again, and the team kept
straight down the valley trotting
lively gait. The Demasters harm was
called up and man was sent on
horseback to bring back the rig 1t
was overtaken at Porter Wright's
place, with the young fellow fast a
sleep and the lines dragging on the
ground. No, the young fellow had
not been drinking-hadn't touched a
drop, but was Simply overcome by
loss of sleep.

POST TWILIGHT
GAMES
Moose and South Slopers to Play
Three Games to
Settle Title.

The Twilight League season came
to an abrupt end with Tuesday even
ing's game, when the Moose defeated
the Aggies 9 to O.. With the excep-
ton of the Moose and South Slope
teams, the teams were unevenly
matched and caused lack of interest
and small attendance. So it was
thought best to call off the remaining
games of the schedule.
AS substitute, post-season SER
les of three games have been arrang-
ed between the Moose and South Slope
with the probability of banquet for
the winners by the losers as prize.
The first game will be played next
Tuesday, the second the following Fri
day, and, unless the series is decided,
the third game on the following Tues
day, July s.
This should prove an interesting
series. Besides being considerable ri
valry between the two teams, they are
very evenly matched. In the Twi-
light series, the Moose have won two
out of three games, the first 9 to A,
the second to l. The third was won
by the Slope to 8.
The games will begin not later than
7 o'clock.

Peaches and Profit

A well known Emmett business
man, who is also the owner of fine
peach orchard on the famous Emmett
slope, did some figuring for the bene-
fit of the readers of the Capital News,
as to the return from an acre of
peaches at the rate of 81 per bushel
basket. This business man stated
that at Emmett a peach tree begins
to bear when 3 years old. At this
age the trees produce from so to rs
bushels per acre. At 5 years of age
Emmett peach trees produce about
200 bushels per acre. Peach trees
here are considered to be in their
prime from 5 to Ia years old. There
are good many bearing peach
trees at Emmett that are 25 and more
years old. Some of those over 25
years old this year will have crop
averaging about 80 bushels per acre.
The eight to 10 year old peach or
chards here this year will produce
about $50 bushels per acre. This bus
mess man stated that it costs the
peach growers here an average of 80
cents per bushel to put bushel
basket of peaches on the car at En-
NETT. The 35 cents covers the ex-
pense of cultivating and irrigating the
orchard, picking and packing the
peaches in the basket, the cost of the
basket and the hauling to the car.
When peaches are sold at 81 per
bushel basket f. O. b. Emmett, it
leaves to the grower a profit of 60
cents per bushel Figuring upon this
basis, three-year-old peach orchard
producing so to rs bushels per acre,
returns to its owner profit of S32. 80
to $48.75 per acre. A five-year-old
orchard producing 200 bushels per
acre returns to its owner profit of
S130 per acre, and an eight to ten
year old orchard yielding $50 bushels
per acre gives its owner net return
of $162.50 per acre. Interest, in
surance and taxes, of course, must be
deducted to arrive at the actual profit
from an acre of peaches. 1t is evident
from the figures given by this busi-
ness man fruit grower that the En-
nett peach growers will do fine and
will get very satisfactory financial
return from their fruit this year.

Emmett Car in smashup

Irving Chapman's Detroiter car was
badly wrecked Thursday night near
Eagle when it collided with q team
belonging to the Koll livery stable Of
Boise. One of the horses had it's leg
broken, and Harry Mulligan, who was
riding with Chapman was thrown out
and his ankle and leg badly bruised.
He has been hobbling around on
crutches since. The accident occurred
as the car rounded a curve in the
road and the headlights turning with
the car did not swing back onto the
road in time to see the team. The
driver of the team did not turn for
the auto. One horse was so badly in
jured that it had to be killed. The
next day Mr.. Chapman settled for
the damages amounting to $3.50, al
though he did not consider that he was
any more to blame for the accident
than the driver of the team. The car
was considerably damaged.

SWEETNESS IN RADIATOR
Bees Start Housekeeping in Dick Hau-
gan's Automobile.

J. Richard Haugan, whose friends
all call him Dick, is shy brood OF
tame bees who became attached to his
automobile on Thursday morning.
They were captured by C. H. Drake,
elevator officer at the Owyhee, by
means of an apple box and tin pan,
and are now resting comfortably in
Mr.. brakes honey factory.
Mr.. Haugan was out at his ranch
near Emmett on Thursday morning at
the crack of dawn. When he jumped
into his car to start for home he no
ticed number of bees buzzing around
the fins on the port side of the radia-
tor. On the way back he was con-
scious of their company, but paid no
attention.
Leaving his car along the curb IN
front of the Owyhee, Mr., Haugan
went up to his room. Soon the car
was surrounded by curious crowd.
On the left front wheel was a lump
of bees as large as a coal scuttie. The

tance. Enter Drake, who keeps bees

home there. Mr.. Barrett has closed
his harness shop and on Friday left

MOTOR CAR CATCHES
FIRE ON ROAD
Rear End of Auto DESTROYED
Was Between Freezeout
and Boise

w. F. Sinclair's Maxwell automobile
was badly damaged by fire Saturday
while coming to Emmett from Boise.
The woodwork in the rear half of the
car was entirely destroyed, even the
spokes in the wheels, and the metal
part was badly warped by the heat.
The appearance of Ernest Hampton
few minutes after the discovery of
the blaze and the application of water
taken from his car, extinguished the
fire and saved the front end. The loss
is almost total, partially covered by
insurance
Mr.. Sinclair was the only occupant
Of the car. When near Willow
creek, he smelled smoke and turn
ing his head saw smoke issuing from
the rear seat. As he turned his head,
the car veered from the road and ran
into culvert killing the engine. Re-
moving his valuables to a safe place,
Mr.. Sinclair made an investigation.
When he pulled the cushion off the
rear seat flames burst forth Fear
ing an explosion of gasoline he then
retired to safe place and left the
car to its fate.
On Monday, j. w. Burton brought
the wreck to town, but it is not pro-
bable that any attempt will be made
to rebuild the machine. The origin
of the blaze is not known, but it is
supposed to have been caused either
by the accumulation of oil on the
under side of the car becoming ignited
by hot box or ''back firing" from the
engine or from oily rags under the
seat.

16 feet. Sixty-five acres of sagebrush
land has within the past year been
cleared, leveled and seeded to alfalfa
under the supervision of William Lit
tie, and fine stand has been obtained.

Grain Is Rineninp

Not for many, many years has there
been such crop of grain in this
section of the state. From around
Emmett, Willow creek, Montour
Squaw creek and Brownlee come re-
ports of wonderful crops. Wayne
Zimmerman near town has field of
wheat that is shoulder high and a
man would be in danger of being lost
in Tom Murphy's oat field, which is
almost as high as mans head and
still growing so fast that Tom says
he can see it increase in height.

Largest Woman Dies.

Kirk Landers, a former Smith
county, Kan, resident, hands in the
following clipping from his old home
paper to show that the Emmett Coun-
try does not raise all the big things:
"News heached here from Harlan on
Monday that Miss Mabel Hammond,
said to be the heaviest woman in Kan
sas, was dead at the home of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. H. j. Hammond,
near that place. Miss Hammond was
26 years old, and according to those
who knew her well, she weighed 800
pounds. Despite Yer immense avoirdu-
pois, however, she was always quite
active and enjoyed fairly good health.
Her death was caused by ulcers of the
stomach. Another girl in the Ham
mond family, Miss Bertha, is also
abnormally large and weighs over five
hundred pounds, and getting heavier
all the time. The parents of the girls
and three younger brothers, however,
are all normal sized people. The sis
ters, not many years ago, had a.
tempting offer to go with a large
show for exhibition, but declined the
offer.

~TIGE" GOT HIS
Whipped by Shepherd Dog, the
World Was Cold and Gloomy


Scared from the tip of his nose
to his bobbed tail and suffering from
recent encounter with shepherd
dog, young bulldog sat in front of
the Bank of Emmett building early
the other morning and sought
sympathy from the passerby. He was
badly battered bulldog, and his pit
iful look stopped the early riser who
spoke kind word to him and passed
on. The dog was cold, his wounds
were fresh, and it was with great eff
fort that he sat on his launches and
batted his eyes at the gloomy world.
The dog was fighter. He had
whipped big dogs and little dogs. He
had jumped on all kinds, bull, shep-
herds, bird dogs and ours, but a
farmers shepherd dog had been his
Waterloo-or his Przemysl, to use
more modern phrase. For 20 min
utes the dog was glued to the cold
cement walk and in that time several
sympathetic souls stopped to console
him, but the whipped animal refused
to respond to the pats on his head or
the offers of sympathy. Pretty soon
barefoot boy came down the street
and spying the dog CLEAN came in
to his eyes. "Heyah Tige," he called
and the bull dog, forgetting his
wounds, jumped to his chewed-up feet
and wagged his stub of tail He
had found his ally, and marched off
in search of another foe

The assessed valuation of the city
amounts to $5OO,OOO, and 20-mill
levy will raise $4,000. The exact
levy will be determined at future
meeting.
The levy last year was: Regular IL
mills, special mills. The present Of
ficals contend that the levy was not
sufficient and the expenses have ex-
ceeded the revenues.
John Barbour and R. E. Rose were
appointed as street light committee.
