AFTERMATH OF THE
SNOW STORM
Snow Melting Slowly-Two
Horses Are Killed-COyOtes
Slaughtered in Deep Snow

Fears that the heavy snow fall of
last week would go off with rush
and cause damage have been dis
PEELED, as the snow is melting slowly,
under the mild weather of the last
few days and the cool nights, and
running off without little damage.
Ranchers says that large part of
the water is soaking into the ground
and is worth millions of dollars (more
or less) to the agricultural interests
of this section Saturday and Sun
day were danger points. Snow in dry
creeks, guicnes and draws formed
gorges when the water began to run
and banked up the water, then broke
loose, causing some damage. But now
the streams are cleared of all obsrtuc-
tions and running freely in their
natural channels.

Basketball league Friday night, the
/ High School basketeers smothered the
Athletic quintet in hard fought con-
test. Superior throwing of baskets
won the victory. The score was 30 to
20.
The victory for the High School is
more significant because the Athletics
have on their team several veteran
players who have starred in days gone
by. pete" Sanders, Ray Hartley,
Fred Monroe and VIII Logan have
been pillars of strength on former
High School teams and John Clay is
famous ex-collegiate player. How
ever, the team showed lack of train
ing. Occasionally, they would show
burst of speed and team work that
reminded one of the invincible" Tigers"
in the palmy days of that organiza-
ton, but it didn't last But they will
be heard from before the series close
The High School played a fast steady
game. Their guarding was excellent.
In the scoring, Floy Clark was the
bright star, making 21 of the so
points. The High school victory was
especially pleasing to Kip Harrell,
who is coaching the team.
The score: First half-High School

MARKETING PLAN FOR
FRUIT GROWERS
Radical Method for Handling
Apples by Federal Officials
at Farmers Conference

Assurances have been received by
the state department of farm markets
that Representatives of the govern
ment Office of markets and the federal
trade commission are on their way
to Boise to attend the statewide
farmers conference which will con-
vene in the hall of representatives of
the state capitol next Monday for a
three days session.
Upon the request of fruitgrowers,
shippers and business men of the large
fruit districts of the Pacific northwest
these government representatives vis-
tied the principal fruit sections a
month ago to investigate matters, af-
ter which they officially called the
I principal shippers together in confer
ence the middle.of January.
/ At this confidential conference the
government officials presented ten
tative apple marketing plan, which
received the unanimous Endorsement
of all interests attending the confer
ence, between 80 and 80 per cent of
the total fruit tonnage of the Pacific
northwest being represented at the
meeting. The proposed plan for han
ding the apple marketing situatio
cooperation with the government
along broader and different lines than
ever before attempted, was found to
be so drastic or radical that it was
considered necessary to take it back to
Washington for consideration of the
department of justice before attempt
ing to start it in operation, as it was
felt it would probably conflict with
the Sherman antitrust law. The legal
difficulties have apparently, however,
all been Strengthened out now, as the
authorities at Washington have wired
the state farm markets department
that the officials are on their way to
Boise to make the first public presen-
tation of the plan to the growers in
the northwest, after which thev
proceed to Oregon and Washington to
hold similar meetings.
In view of the chaotic situation ex-
isting at present in the marketing of
apples in the Pacific northwest, and
the serious outlook for the coming
season unless all interests can unite
on plan, this proposal by the federal
authorities is timely and of such
vital interest to all growers that a
large attendance from all fruit dis
tricts of the state especially is antici-
pated.
As many fruit growers as possible
from this valley should attend. Special
railroad rates have been made

Advises WooIgrowers to Hold Clips

Hugh Sproat, president of the Idaho
Wool Growers association, advises all
wool growers not to contract with
eastern buyers for their wool clip.
"Freight rates on Australian WOOL
said Mr.. Sproat, ''have advanced from
115 cents to 612 cents pound, on
account of the great difficulty in get
ting vessels. The Argentine wool clip
is nearly all contracted for by the
Germans, and even at that, any wool
which enters this country will cost
S45 a bale where it used to cost S12.
A bale contains one thousand pounds.
"This," said Mr.. Sproat, '.is as good as
five-cent tariff on WOOL Wool is
not held in the east in any large sup
ply and if the growers will not con-
tract at this time we will have manu-
facturers coming out here at shearing
time and making competition the
stronger. So my advice is, do not
contract at this time"

An extension of the water mains in
the eastern part of town and also an
extension from Second to Fourth
street on Johns avenue is looked upon
with favor by the council. Walter
Knox was present to, urge the ex-
tension on behalf of five property
owners in Washburn addition, who de-
sire to use city water. The plan is
to extend the mains at Blaine Gilker-
sons corner north one block, thence
west two blocks about 1900 feet.
Five families have agreed to take
water On Johns avenue four families
have agreed to use city water. There
would be 625 feet of pipe there. The
cost is placed at $500. The revenue
at the start would be not less than
$108 year. The matter was referred
to the waterworks committee.

A large number of coyotes have
been killed by ranchers since the
storm, especially in the butte country
near the VanDeusen home ranch.
Driven from the hills by hunger to
seek food in the valley, they became
very bold, entering the yards of the
ranchers even. Men on horseback
with rifles and club easily killed them,
the wolves being unable to make their
getaway in the soft deep snow. Guy
