ELBERTACROP NEAR.
 LY GATHERED NOW
Several Hundred Cars Have Been Shipped Through Pres colt Over P. & N. w. Route Bringing Excellent Prices.

With the ending of this week nearly the whole of the big crop of peaches from the orchards along the right of way of the Prescott & Northwestern route will be gathered. The crop has been fine and several hundred cars have been shipped to date. The drought has injured the crop a great deal and it will hardly reach the estimated 1000 cars. The largest number came from the Bert Johnson orchard at Highland.
 Probably the greater loss will be to the growers of cantaloupes. 1t is stated that the crop will be almost one hundred cars short on account of the continued dry weather. The lack of rain caused more of the melons to ripen than could be handled. A num- Der of cars of watermelons have also been shipped from different sections.

DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CON-
 MITTEE MEETING IMPORTANT

Little Rock, July 20.-"The meeting of the Democratic State Central Com mittee July 25 will be a very import ant one, and the first to be held by the new committee" said J. w. House, Jr., chairman of the committee, to the correspondent of the News. There will be a number of importanG matters to come up for consideration, and l hope every member will be present when the roll is called. Plans for the approaching state campaign and other important questions should have the attention of every member.' ing the largest producing sections, IS making very excellent progress.
 The one thing that is feared now is hot weather in Texas and in the eastern belt. Steadiness in the Liver pool market, which closed 3 to 1 points higher, was partly responsible for the opening steadiness here, when prices were l point lower to points net higher.
 Cotton closed barely steady.

PREDICT NO CONFUS-
 ION IN ELECTIONS
Thirty Days Given After Elec- tiOn to Certify Returns Would Make Last Day Dec. 8 Take Office January 1st.

Little Rock, July 20.-Secretary of State Hodges and Attorney General Davis predict there will be no con fusion in the time when the county officers to be elected Nov. 7, the first under the new consolidated election law, shall take their oaths of office. The law does not specify the time, neither did the old law declare Get. 31 as the date upon which they should begin their terms of office. But that through long series of years had become the established date, and the Supreme Court has held that it is properly so, since uniformity IS to be desired.
 Thirty days is given after the elec- ton to certify the returns. This could make the last day as late as Dee. 8. The attorney-general and secretary of state have decided that Jan. 1 should be the uniform date, ard all the commissions will be issued on that date This will apply to all county and district officers, also all statutory state officers, including the Commissioner of Agriculture, the Land Commissioner and the Superin- tendent of Public Instruction. All of these officers will therefore have two months longer terms of office than that for which they were elected.
 This will also mean that T. L.. Handley, who was appointed sheriff of Garland county, will hold office until Jan. 1, 1917, and that he will therefore have ample time to prevent the holding of a race meeting in Hot Springs in accordance with the pledge made to the governor.

HANLY'S NOMINATION
 VIRTUALLY ASSURED
Will Be Prohibition Presidential
 Candidate, is Confident Pre- dictiOn-Hinshaw Chosen as Chairman National Committee

St. Paul, Minn., July 19.-The nom- ination of J. Frank Hanly of Indiana as the presidential candidate of the Prohibition party was confidently predicted tonight by friends of Hanly and leaders of the so-called organza- tion forces in the Prohibition national convention, following the unanimous reelection today of Virgil G. Hin shaw, Chicago, to the chairmanship of the National committee. Robert II. Patton of Springfield, H., was selected as permanent chairman. Howard Kerschner, Topeka, Kan, was named permanent secretary.
 When the convention adjourned to- night the officers met to arrange a convention program.
 Advocates of the Hanly candidacy at the afternoon session obtained the adoption of a recommendation of the rules committee providing for the nomination of presidential candidate tomorrow, instead of on Friday, but later a motion prevailed for reconsid- eration of the conventions action. The question will be decided on the floor of the convention tomorrow.

MARKET GRADUALLY
 SAGS TILL CLOSE
Early Rise Soon LOSt-LOw Prices 10 to II Points Under Weekly Report Not as Sen satiOnal as Bulls Expected.

New York, July 19.-Neither the weekly government weather report nor the tropical storm furnished bulls in the cotton market with any en- couragement today and the market, after a little display of steadness after the opening, when October ad- vanced to 13.07c, December to 13.22c and January to 13.2Sc, representing a net rise of 3 to 1 points, gradually sagged off until at the close, which was at the lowest for the day, the list showed a net loss of 10 to IA points.
 Aside from mentioning less favor able conditions in the central and eastern belts, especially in the low lands, as result of the heavy floods, the weekly report was far from being as sensational as bulls were expecting and its reference to Texas and Okla homa was considered distinctly fav- orable.
 Wall street was believed to have accumulated quite a large short line on the idea that the crop is in far better shape than private reports of late have indicated and that at least so to 70 per cent of the area, includ-

SUBMARINE CREW FEARFUL OF NETS
Believe Allied Warships Have Prepared Traps for the Deut- schland-May Leave at Any Time.

Baltimore, July 19.-At II o'clock tonight the two spars of the German merchant submarine were taken down and the coming tower closed. Close at hand lay the tug Thomas F. Tim mins with full head of steam up.
 Near the submarine were many launches with agents of the Eastern Forwarding Company patrol aboard. These crafts at 11:05 o'clock hailed a newspaper launch and tried to in- duce reporters to leave.
 You are interfering with our plans" the watchman said.
 To all appearances the Deutschland may leave at any time. Her crew and master were aboard More than 10 tons of fuel oil were stored on the submarine late this afternoon.
 The stevedores. who have been working day and night for nearly a week putting aboard the return cargo of rubber and nickel, were discharged this afternoon.
 Friends of some of the submarines seamen say the latter have expressed deepest anxiety over the possibility of their falling victims to the allied cruisers reported to be waiting off the capes, through being caught in nets which they believe will be stretched for them.
 "Entangled in these the submarine cannot escape" a friend of the men said. Her engines will be crippled and it will be a slow and agonizing death to all on board When the en- zines stop the lights will go out and the air will stop. That is what the men fear They talk of it continually while with me at night and they ask everyone to pray for them"

NO TRUTH TO SHORE LINE DEA
President Perkins Says New York Concern is Just Managing the Road Under Him.

Regarding the statement which ap- peared in state papers Saturday that the J. G. White Engineering company of New York had taken over the en- tire Shore Line System, Robert w.

 Following their taking over the New Haven division of the Connecti- cut company, the J. G. White Engi- ueering company of New York have taken over the entire Shore Line EIec- tric Railway company and will put the system into first-class shape. J. G.

The Burdge Mill.

In going back to the event of the
first sawmill to be located in this part
of the Payette valley, it is found that
the United States government used a
portable single circular saw outfit,
which was run by horse power, for
saving a part of the timbers and lum-
Der used in the building of Fort Boise.
This sawmill was located on branch
of Moore's creek, about eight miles
from Boise After the completion of
the fort, the outfit was brought to the
fort at Boise and eventually sold to
William (Doc) Burdge, a settler liv-
ing two miles west of Emmettsville,
on the Payette river. Mr.. Burdge
brought the outfit to this valley late
in the year 1869, or early in the year
1870, and installed it in connection

with a small water power grist mill
that he was running previous to his
buying the sawmill from the govern
ment,
This grist mill consisted of pair
of small burrs made from lava rock
taken from the Black canyon of the
Boise river, near Caldwell, which he
had purchased from the Balm mill in
Boise valley and used for grinding
corn meal and graham flour. The
water power was not strong enough to
run both the grist mill and the saw
mill at the same time and were run
separately as the demand for chop
and lumber required. The demand
was very limited, too.
About the year 1878 William (BilD
Burdge, Jr., took charge of the mill
and conducted its affairs until 1876,
