NEW MARK ETING PLAN
I.-O. Fruit Association Adopts Gov
eminent Proposal.

At meeting of the board of direc.
tors of the Idaho-0regon Fruit Grow
ers' Association held at Boise last
week, at which Emmett was repre-
scented by DIR. N. B. Barnes, the plan
for marketing the Northwest fruit
crop that was presented by the mem
bers of the federal bureau of mar
kets to the statewide farmers con
ference was thoroughly discussed. As
a result of the discussion the follow
ing resolutions We're adopted,
l. That we wish to express our
earnest appreciation of the assistance
the government is extending TO the
fruit industry of the Northwest.
2. Having listened to the plans
proposed by Messrs. Bassett. Morrow.
Kerr and Burnes, we hereby approve
the same and ask that a uniform con
tract in accordance with said plans
be prepared by the commission in or
DER that we may embody the same in
the crop contracts with our growers.
>. We ask the commission, as soon
as practicable to make a thorough and
detailed investigation of the business
methods of our organization, both
of the central and district associations
with recommendation in relation
thereto, for the purpose of securing
increased efficiency and economy and
bringing our operations into harmony
with the government plan
4. We would also urge the commits
sion, at its earliest convenience, to
hold a series of meetings with the
fruit growers in southern Idaho and
eastern Oregon, for the purpose of
laying the plan of the commission be-
fore the fruit growers at large and
we pledge to them any aid or support

ssUEs CALDWELL NEWSPAPER
County Attorney Griffith Alleges Lii
bel and Seeks Damages of $4,000

County Attorney Henry A. Griffiths
on Friday filed suit in district court
against the Caldwell Printing com
pany, and John l.. Davis and Dan F..
Banks, manager and editor, demand
ing $4,000 for alleged libel. Grifiiths
asserts in his complaint that his repu-
tation and business have suffered to
this extent by reason of articles pub
lished in the Tribune.
The items upon which the county
attorney bases his suit were published
last November and December. One of
the items is taken to mean, says the
complaint, that plaintiff was then
and there engaged in and a party to a
conspiracy, and had conspired with
the said sheriff and said probate judge
to charge, without foundation in fact,
some persons, the identity of whom
is unknown, with crime, and to ar
rest and convict said persons whether
guilty of such crime or not"
The complaint alleges further, "that
said publications were false and de-
famatory, and by means thereof the
plaintiff has been, and is, greatly in
jured in his reputation, and has been
deprived of great gains and profits
which would have arisen and accrued
to him in his profession and business.
and in his standing and reputation
with and among the electors of Can
yon county, to his damage in the sum
of $4,000"

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS
Patented Process Is Responsible for
Its International Popularity.

Smokers so much appreciate the
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma OF
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to-
bacco that they often marvel that
this one brand could be so different
from all others.
l. The answer to this question is to
be found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you will
read: process Patented July 30,
1907" That tells the whole story.
Prince Albert is made by patented
process that cuts out the bite and
parch, which makes the tobacco so
mighty agreeable ana satisfying to
men of every taste of every civilized
nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years
continuous work and study and a for
tune in money to perfect. But the
result has proven to be worth all that
was expended upon it, because it has
set free men who believed they never
could enjoy pipe or makin's Gig
arctic.
Prince Albert makes it possible
for every man to smoke pipe or to
roll his own cigarettes. And, no mat
ter how tender the tongue, Prince AL
bert cannot bite or parch. That is cut
out by the patented process, leaving
for the smoker only the joys of the
fragrant tobacco.
1t is fact that since Prince AL
bert arrived" just about six years
ago, it has made three men smoke /
pipes where one smoked pipe be-
'ore!

NOW THE MAGNETIC CAR
New Device Said to Make Multi
Cylinders Useless

A magnetic clutch and electric
transmission.
A clutch without physical contact
A clutch which absorbs engine
shocks.
A clutch and transmission designed
to make multi-cylinders useless.
A clutch which engages by the same
force which causes a horse shoe mag
net to pull a nail.
That is what motor car fans are
specializing about now. The claims
for the new device are interesting,
and several of them are so radical
that they are hard to believe.
For instance the assertion that a
clutch which has no contact of any
kind save magnetic force, should be so
arranged that there is absolutely no
loss of energy.
Also it is said that the same force
which drive the car at any speed de-
sired without gears may be used as
retarding force and becomes the brake
which may be applied without jerk or
sudden retarding, to take the place of
or aid the regulation brake.
Another claim is that the magnetic
force which connects the engine shaft
and drive shaft is so elastic in effect
that it does not matter if two of the
cylinders are missing and all sudden
jerks of the engine are absorbed as if |
a piece of rubber had been used in the |
clutch. If this type is Universally
adopted it is said that 8, u or "a
cylinder motors would become a thing
IF history.
