Coocan Expresses sympathy

The Index is in receipt of the letter
given below from James A Coogan
company of Kansas City, expressing
their regret at the loss sustained by
Emmett fruit growers and extending
their sympathy. The letter follows:
We have learned both through our
representative Mr.. E. P. Gaines,
Boise, also through our representative
Mr.. r. W. Stoughton, Payette, of the
disastrous freeze that visited the fruit
growing section of Idaho on the 9th
and 10th, and we wish to have you
extend TO all the fruit growers in your
section for US, through the columns
of your paper, our sincere sympathy,
as we know our little loss is 4 trife
compared with what they have sus-
tanned Florida and Colorado have
both been visited the last few years
with severe freezing spells just before
the shipping time, and also during
me shipping time, but they came back
and tneir fruit also seems to be a
much better quality than ever. fhe

JUNIORS RULED ROOST
JUST ONE DAY
Glass Spirit Was Rampant
Streets Paraded in Decor
ated Autos

The Junior class had it's innings on
Tuesday, and by sheer force of mum
bers made life miserable for the Semi
ors. With motor cars decorated with
the gay colors of the class Main street
was paraded, and from the top of
the weather flag pole the purple and
white banner was flung to the breeze.
Several of the Senior boys who OBJ
jected to the unseemly display of col
ors were captured and their heads
immersed in the Farmers canal.
But the activities were as tame as
a pink tea in comparison with the
class scrap of last year. AS yet, no
class flag has been hoisted on the
High school building, but it is prob
able it will appear tomorrow.
This class spirit isn't bad thing
at all. Next year the present Juniors
will be the butt of the present Soph-
omores, and so it will ever be. Boys
will be boys, and girls will be girls
wherever you find them-they would
not be worth a whoop if they weren't.
So let the flags wave and the ribbons
be flung to the breeze; let good-natur-
ed rivalry prevail and joy be uncon-
fined. For after school days are over
will come quickly enough the serious
things of life.

lowing program has been arranged:

terward services will be held by FIRE.

FRUIT PROSPECTS ARE
LOOKING UP
Indications Are There viii Be
Enough Peaches and Apples
for Local Consumption

Fruit conditions are not as bad as
at first supposed. Present indications
are that there will be enough peaches
and apples to supply the local demand.
There will be limited supply of
sweet cherries. The strawberry crop,
which is now coming to market, is
short.
After a careful inspection, Charles
P. Hartley estimates that ne will have
four carloads of peaches from his
South Slope orchard, anC ne is con-
fident this is a conservative estimate.
J. A. Hiatt, on the East slope, will
have half crop of peaches, and VIII
Shaw, near by, will have quite a good
crop from a portion of his orchard.
Many others report small yields
The apple crop is looking better and
many of the orchards will have small
yields, but enough for home consump-
ton and some to spare.
Grape vines which were cut back
after the frost, are sending out new
blossoms.
Of course, it is too early to pre-
dict with certainty. After the June
drop it will be pretty safe to figure
that the fruit left on the trees will
stick and mature

supt. and Mrs. Knipe Remembered

In appreciation of the work of Sup
erintendent Geo. D. Knipe and Mrs.
Knipe, and as a token of the esteem
in which they are held, the Senior
class last evening presented to them a
chest of silverware and the teachers
made gifts of silver sets. The pre-
sentation was made at the class party
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Shane, and both responded
feelingly to express the pleasure they
felt in the gifts and the spirit which
prompted them. The party, was given
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Knipe and
with games, music and the dainty
luncheon the evening was greatly en-
joyed.

Fonr Horses in Runaway

Elijah Smiths four-horse wool haul
ing outfit ran away yesterday morn
ing and raced three miles before be-
ing caught. The horses were stand
ing at the Fruit association warehouse
when a speeder came by on the rail-
road. This frightened the horses and
away they went. The lead team be-
longed to Ed Stringer and the wheel
ers to w. E. Fisher. Naturally, the
horses struck for home As quickly
as possible Jim Kinzer got his Ford
in motion and with Mr.. Smith gave
chase. Just as the outfit was crossing
the bridge across the Farmers Co
operative canal, near the Fisher place,
Lige jumped from the car onto the
wagon, set the brakes and though the
reins were trailing on the ground, the
horses soon were stopped by the load.
No damage to the horses or the
wagon.

Sad. but True

J. NJ. Birmingham was IN Jown Fri
day from his ranch at Sand Hollow on
the bench. He brought to this Office a
peach tree branch which was full of
peaches. He declared his fruit was
not damaged. Now, honestly, The
Index hates to shatter his hopes, but
unless Mr. Birmingham has better
peaches than the ones ne brought to
.ts, he will have none. Every one
had black seeds and after being in
the warm room an hour became as
soft as mush.

A Fine Rain

A soaking rain that fell yesterday,
last night and today is of incalulable
benefit to farmers generally. The big
downpour will help the irrigated dis
tricts as well as the dry farming sec
tions, and will be a positive boon to
stockmen, for in many places the
range now in use and that in pro-
spect for later in the season was be-
ginning to suffer. Grain and alfalfa
crops will in many instances be bene-
flied by the rain in measure that
will offset the recent frost damage,
and all vegetables win also be helped.

Hogue Back from East

F. H. Hogue, western manager for
Denny & Co.. returned last week
from a trip to the East He says the
Eastern apple crop will be large and
he takes a gloomy view Of price pro-
spects. He contends that the frost
in Idaho may prove blessing in
disguise, as prices will be low next
fall and winter, and the orchards will
be benefited by years rest. He was
in the Palisade, Colo, district just
before coming home and reports a
full crop there of peaches and other
fruit. Nearly all other Colorado dis
tricts were damaged.

GEM SCORES AT POCA-
TELLO CONVENTION
b. o. Clark Chosen as Delegate
to Democratic Convention
at st. Louis

Gem county was recognized at the
Democratic state convention in Poca-
tello last week by the selection of B.
o. Clark as delegate to the national
convention at st Louis, which meets
next month. The delegation is headed
by Governor Moses Alexander and is
composed of the following: Moses
Alexander, Ada; James H. Hawley,
Ada; K. l. Perky, Ada; ]. T. Pence,
( Ada; Beecher Hitchcock, Bonner; ].
B. Hit, Cassia; j. NJ Clark, Lincoln,

ham, Kootenai; w. A. Coughanour,
Canyon.
Inc resolutions, in brief, extoI Pre-
sident Wilson and indorse Governor
Alexander.
The press dispatches tell the story
of the lively scrap between the Elder
and anti machine forces as follows:
The organization forces of the Dem
ocratic party won signal victory here
Friday over the disunited elements
fighting what they called machine
rule, and defeated a carefully develop
ed movement to dissolve the unit rule
and free all delegations from their in
structions.
Robert H. Elder, of Kootenal coun-
ty, was reelected national committee
man after a parliamentary and orator
ical bout of most persistent and
fiery character, interspersed by wild
cheering, and although it was finally
made unanimous there were a num-
Der of vehement negative votes which
located some of the sore spots.
Although there was no open revolt,
the feeling is almost as keen in
certain influential quarters as though
there had been, and it is not lessened
by the implied threat of Mr.. Nugent
to send a contesting delegation to st.
Louis if his side had been defeated
though abrogation of the unit rule
and the release of all delegates from
all instructions.
With eight delegates to the national
Democratic convention allowed Idaho,
the convention in burst of generosity
selected 10, leaving it to the delegates
to arrange the voting at st. Louis on
the basis of attendance. The result
reflected the efficiency of compact
force, admirably generated, as against
an opposition lacking concreteness
and unable to unite under any eff
fective leadership.
The fight revolved around a motion
from the anti-Elder side to dissolve
the unit rule and abrogate all in
structions in cases where the dele
cations were selected by county COM
mittees and not by conventions or
primaries. This was preceded by
adoption without a contest of the re-
port of the credentials committee,
which had agreed to seat both the
Canyon delegations and give their
members half a vote each and seat the
Elder delegates from Cassia and the
anti-Elder delegates from Washing
ton. This action added Is votes from
Canyon to the Elder strength and did
not appreciably aid the opposition be-
cause of inability to unite.

Preacher Is Champion Shot

The current number of the Idaho
National Guardsman contains the fol-
lowing notice of the craftsmanship of
members of Co. NJ. of this city. Corp
oral Hunter, who leads, is the popular
pastor of the Presbyterian church. The
Guardsman says: "The contest for the
indoor target championship in Com
pany NJ, Emmett, has been very keen;
but it was probably settled last week,
when Corporal Hunter, the newest re-
cruit, ran up the splendid score of 143
out of a possible $50. This gives
Corporal Hunter the Company record
for the second time this winter, it
having been held by Sergeant Forsell
for short time with a score of 141.
Other close contestants are Corporal
Carpenter with a score of 137, and
Corporal Shinn with a score of 1876.
Much local interest has been shown
in the gallery shooting and the Com
pany competitive shoot is being
looked forward to with considerable
anticipation. The outdoor range,
which suffered considerable damage
from heavy snow, Is being repaired
and will soon be ready for use"
