The Times is indebted to +. F.
Stevens of Nampa, president of the
Idaho board of horticultural inspec-
ton, for the following full account of
proceedings of the meeting after the
completion of the organization as des-
cribed in the last issue:
The opening hour was devoted to a
discussion of the state inspection of
orchads. Mr.. Guy Graham, state in
spector, mentioned that the board was
created in 1903, briefly discussed it's
developments and work. At this time
the state is divided into 16 districts,
the available funds are appOrtioned
by the state board among the districts
in amount apportioned to the import
liant of the work in each district AS
NEARLY as can be estimated there are
at this time about $4,000 acres OF com
mercial orchards. The district about
Twin Falls, both north side and south
side, does not at this time suffer from
the San Jose scale, with the excep-
tons of a few orchards in the old
Hagerman Valley. By careful work il
is hoped to limit the damaging work
of scale for some years to come. In
ject several speakers urged the i'm
portance of individual responsible,
for reporting cases of neighborhooC
infestion. The funds available are no
sufficient to enable the deputy inspec
tors to find and check each case un
less assisted by interested orchardist
in the community.

same flat rate maintained clear to
New York Idaho apples were carried |
to Denver for 65 cents per hundred;
to the Missouri river points for 70
cents per hundred; to Chicago for 80
cents per hundred, and to New York
for S1.OO per hundred The rates for
apples on the o. S. l.. to eastern terri
tory were lower by 1919 cents per
hundred pounds than the rate over the
Northern Pacific, the Northern Paci-
fic asked the Interstate Commerce
commission to direct the o. S. l.. to
use the same rates from Idaho terri
tory used by the Northern Pacific.
This should be met by protest from
the interested orchardists of Idaho.
The O. S. L. carried potatoes TO Texas
on a rate only Is cents above the rate
from Greedy, Colorado, to Texas points.
The rate on Idaho apples to eastern

SNOW GRADUALLY MELTS
WITH BUT LITTLE DAMAGE

The big snow is almost gone and
while a few cellars contain too much
water as a result of its disappearance
through alternate rain and sunshine,
little damage was done to offset its
good effects The city council took
steps in a special meeting Thursday
evening to place the matter in the
hands of the street committee which
has been actively at work to prevent
serious flooding.

SAYS PIPE AND PRESIDENT
 MUST BRING ABOUT PEACE

American supplies of munitions to the allies would be followed mechanically by the cessation of the war.
 The TageS Zeitung makes the article basis for new attack upon Presi- dent Wilson and Ambassador Gerard pointing out what it declares to have been the repeated declarations of the president. Secretary of State Lansing and the ambassador, that 'the duty of the United States is to interfere as a mediator and participate in the peace negotiations not as a mediator but ac- lively, just as one of the belligerents." "
 The newspaper declares that this at titude menaces Germany and con- tinues
 Peace under American auspices could never be a German peace. but would contain in itself German depen- dence upon the United States and herewith upon our enemies' Major Moraht in the Berliner Tage- blatt speaks of the fighting on the | Somme as raging to and fro and con- l tinues:
 Something in this may perhaps change the course of things during tho autumn or winter. but at present wt must reckon with a continuation of tho struggle The enemy is still standing If America, the coolly calculating pro. moter of all the resistance. does no desist from this bloody business, thei only victory of the central power can bring the enemy to a recognition that the endless continuation of tn struggle in Europe only serves to ben eft these laughing heirs to Europe"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept 23.-In- dlanapolis put on red and yellow dress of fire tonight to welcome Charles E. Hughes. His special rolled into the station half an hour ahead of scheduled time and the celebration upon which republicans here have spent days of preparation was on.
 They met him with a bedlam of cheers, wells, factory whistles and au- tomobile sirens. They lighted their fire works and plastereo a patch of flaming red on the Indiana sky. They stood by the tens of thousands in the streets and cheered him along the way Most of the time they could not see him for the smoke, but they knew he was there, with Charles w. Fair banks. lis running mate in one of the first automobiles and they shot up more rockets and burned more red fire and made more smoke and cheered some more.
 Scores of flag -bedecked automobiles swung into line behind the nominees car for the parade through the city to Tomlinson hall. Behind the cars came the men on foot, thousand of torch hearing marchers. Republican leaders who staged the big demonstration said that the line of marchers ex- tended for more than miles
 The streets around the station and along the line of march were choked by throngs the like of which the nominee has not met anywhere since the day he started on his presidential campaign. Blue coats by the hun dreds kept the way clear.

LONG BRANCH, N. J., Sept. 23- Today President Wilson actively opened his campaign for reelection with speech replying to republican criticism of his settlement of the re- gently threatened railroad strike. With emphatic gestures, before a large crowd assembled at Shadow Lawn, he defended the eight hour day and de- clared also that the nation must be freed from the possibility of interfer- ence with it's commerce Business men from various parts of New Jersey in- terrupted the president with hand clapping and cheering.
 The chief cloud that is upon the domestic horizon is the unsatisfactory relations of capital and labor" the president said, adding that 50 long as labor and capital stand antagon- istic the interests of both are injured and the prosperity of America is held back from the triumphs which are legitimately its own"
 MT. Wilson spoke of the bright fu- ture for American business and then launched directly into a discussion of the railroad situation. Without direct ly mentioning Charles E. Hughes, the republican nominee, the president brought in the republican party by saying that about seventy republicans supported the eight hour law in the house Of representatives and senate re. pubhcans prt no obstacle in the way or the passage of the labor bill.
 This was because the proposal was reasonable and was based upon the right" asserted MT. Wilson.

 An early termination of the con- ference could be reached if the Amer jean commissioners were willing to agree to the chief desire of General CarranZa's representatives, which is the withdrawal from Chihuahua of the American troops, but the Ameri- can commissioners have made it clear that any agreement must be based on the conviction that conditions warranted the change.

NEW YORK, Sept 23.-Traction lines of New York. upon which a strike has been in progress since September 6, were officially placed upon the unfair list today by the conference of labor leaders which yesterday called for a suspension of work by approximately 600,00G work CTS to aid the striking carmen. Ar engagements have been made to picket the subway, elevated and surface lines, it was announced, for the pur- pose of discovering the patrons"
 Penalties for riding upon these lines will be imposed on members of unions by their respective organiZa- secretary of the central federated union.
 The proposal to suspend work is based by labor leaders upon the con- tention that union men have no right to ride upon cars operated by strike breakers, and protected by policemen. They assert, in addition, that by using such means of transportation they are menacing their personal safety.
 Members of the labor conference, which is said to represent eighty unions in Greater New York con- tinued their plans today to put the sympathetic strike into effect at o'clock next Wednesday morning Several of the leaders issued state ments iG which they said individual unions were signifying their endorse ment of the conference acton and predicting a wide spread tie up of the city's industries.
 One faction of trade unionism however is said to hold to the belie1 that the proposed suspension oi work" would constitute repudiatior and abrogation of satisfactory con-

LONDON, Sept 23.-The Dutch mail steamer Prinz Hendrix, which left Flushing this morning for London having on board number of Rus sians, French, Belgians and British, including some escaped war prisoners, was captured 20 miles out from Flushing by the Germans and taken to Zeebrugge, where approximately half of her sixty-four passengers were taken off.
 Several Americans were aboard the steamer, including Herbert c. Hoover. chairman of the American commis- sion for Belgian relief, but these were not molested in any way.

 LONDON, Sept. 23.-One German airship, and probably another, was brought down during raid over the eastern counties of England and the outskirts of London last night, ac- cording to an official statement. One airship was brought down in the southern part Of Essex and it is re- ported another fell on the Essex coast
 No report of casualties or damage have been received.
 The text of the statement follows: An attack by hostile airships was made on Lincolnshire and the eastern counties and on the outskirts of Lon don. The latter attack was made from the northeast and the southeast about midnight and was beaten off by our anti-aircraft defense.
