ed by Fruitland growers. Those
attendance report a very satisfactor
meeting and an awakened interes
| in the needs of the farmer wa
manifested. While the object of thu
conference was to bring all farming
interests together and devise wayI
and means for better marketing con
ditions for all products Of the farm
T. yet the fruit industry was the mos
interesting subject for our people. A
permanent organization was perfect
ed with Mr.. Sholtz, director of farm
markets, president, and Mr.. Fred
French of New Plymouth, secretary
Working machinery was installed by
the president naming various com.
mittees to work out the plans. Many
good results are hoped for. The
Government officials sent to the
Pacific Northwest by the National
Farm Markets Bureau few months
ago, to study marketing conditions,
dealt with the fruit industries only
These gentlemen presented ten
tatiye plan and one or all of them
will return to southern Idaho and
arrange meetings in the various fruit
growing Districts and present a
working plan, which has cooperation
as foundation, first, last and all the
time.
The plan is wide IN its scope,
permitting various selling agencies to
cooperate as one body in the market
ing and distribution of fruits.
It appears that all resident agen-
cies located in the fruit producing
sections OF the northwest are Very
willing to go into this cooperative
and it is strictly within
the power Of the grower through a
Joint crop contract, to force his sell
ing agent into this movement, which
win mean better prices on account
Of better distribution. This plan
will permit the grower to sell his
fruit through any agency he favors,
so long as that agency co-operates
nth other agencies, and no grower
should refuse to use his influence or
his power If necessary to secure
him better net returns. II Govern
nent officials, after careful investiga-
ions Of our problems, with no axes
o grind, work out and only plan for
,ur amelioration, surely the grower
AN do no less than give the plan
:areful study. Every grower who does
lot believe in the present unfriendly
competition, or who does not believe
n any selling plan that does not
AXE his own interests into account, !
ihould attend the meetings arranged
or these government officials ON
heir next trip, announcement OF
which will be made in due time.

ANOTHER OLD
CONFED is GONE
M. Speed Peyton Passes Away As
Result of Paralytic Stroke Sus-
tanned Two Years Ago.

Another old Confederate soldier
has answered his last roll call; an
other of the grand old heroes that
wore the grey has, like the immor-
tai Jackson, crossed the rver and is
resting under the shade of the trees
Matthias Speed Peyton died at the
home of Mrs. Francis, at Rowland,
where he had lived for the past two
years, at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon
of paralysis. Nearly two years ago
he suffered a stroke of that fearful
disease and since had been helpless.
He was aware that the end was near,
and having made peace with his God,
was not afraid to die. A few years
ago he joined the Stanford Christian
church and he had since been a con-
sistent member. Mr.. Peyton, who
was IA years old, was the son of
Speed Peyton, and was born at Pey-
tons Well. He was one of ten chill
dren, all but two-Mrs. Julia Pres
ton, of Junction City, and Mrs.
Greenberry Adams, of Mckinney,
Texas, having Joined the silent ma
jority.
Mr.. Peyton joined the Confederate
forces early in the Civil War and was
gallant soldier. He was a member
of Capt. Bob Logan's company and
was on the famous raid thru Ohio.
He was captured at Burlington, that
State, and kept a prisoner for long
time. Returning from the war, he
gave his attention to farming, at
which he was only reasonably sue
cessful. For years he served as con-
stable of Lincoln county and made a
most excellent official.
He was an exceedingly kind-heart-
ed man and none knew him but to ada
mire and respect him. The greater
portion of his last years were spent
out on Dix river, where cap" Pey-
ton, as his friends knew him, was a
general favorite.
The burial occurred in Buffalo
cemetery Saturday afternoon, after
prayer and brief remarks at the
grave by DIR. d. NJ. Walker. The
following close friends acted as pail
bearers: Messrs. George P Bright,
T. d. Newland, James P. Bailey, w.
S. Drye, Robert L. Porter, P. W.
Carter.

to his many friends as Club" is quite
i'll at his rooms, as a result of a par
