DENNEY BUYS FRUIT
ASSOCIATION
Buys Majority of Stock of Con-
Germ at $1.10-Also Leases
CrOnk Warehouse

AS announced in The Index last
week, Denney & Co., the well known
fruit buying firm of Chicago, have
established permanent branch house
in Emmett. The deal was closed
New Years for the purchase of a
majority of the stock in the Emmett
Fruit Growers Association at a pre-
MUM of 10 cents on the dollar, or
$3.50 per share. James Kinzer and
R. B. Shaw will be joint managers of
the business, Mr.. Shaw attending the
inside work and Mr.. Kinzer looking
after the outside work.
There are BIG shares of stock in the
association, par value $25 per share.
Some of the present stockholders will
hold their stock, Denney & Co. guar
anteeing a dividened of 10 per cent.
Those wishing to sell may bring in
their stock and receive $27.50 per
share for it.
Denney & Co. have also leased the
Cronk warehouse, sheds and office on
the ground adjoining the Fruit as
sociation property.
The company will continue to deal
in spray material, fruit boxes and
material, coal, grain, hay, merchan-
disc, ETC., as in the past, but on a
much larger scale. The cold storage
plant at Payette, which the company
has leased, will be used in connection
with the Emmett business.
The merchandise end of the bust
ness will be only side issue, how
ever, fruit being the speciality, and
the company is prepared to aid its
customers in many ways, such as adj
-vancing money for spraying, picking
and packing of the crop and oversee
ing the packing operations.
The advent of the Denney people |
into the fruit field of the Emmett
country means much to this section,
as it will make competition sharper
and tend to stabilize prices.
The deal was negotiated for Denney
& Co. by F. H. Hogue, western repre-
sentative, who has become a COM
manding figure in the fruit business
of the Northwest. He has been very
fortunate in securing two such
thorough business men as R. B. Shaw
and James Kinzer to handle the En-
NETT business.

A Novel Auto Jack

Henry Goul is showing an automo-
bile jack that is of unusual merit.
The contrivance is strong and simple
and easily operated. By it the entire
car may be raised at once, and it is
claimed that the saving of tires by
keeping them off the ground when the
car is not in use will pay for the de-
vice in less than a year. The inven-
tor is nephew of Mr.. Goul and the
jacks are being manufactured in
Boise. He also has patented a fold
ing jack to be carried in the car.
Demonstrations may be seen at the
Burton garage.

States.

RURAL CREDITS DIS
CUSSED BY CLUB
Commercial Club Interested in
Weiser Plan-Annual Meet
ing January Is

The principal topic discussed at the
meeting of the Commercial Club Tues
day evening was Rural Credits. The
matter was brought up by H. l..
Fest, who pointed out the necessity
existing among many of the farmers
for credit system that will relieve
them of financial difficulties by which
they are confronted. He asked the
Club to investigate and endeavor to
relieve the conditions existing in some
districts in this farming community.
A similar situation has been met at
Weiser, where a local farm credits
system was put in operation a year
ago. The plan has been very success
full. A very complete outline is pub
lished in another column of this is
sue and every business man and farm
er should read it. If opens up what
seems to be a practical and easy
method of cooperation between the
farmers and merchants to mutually
aid each other, and is we'll worth the
most serious consideration. AS stated
in the article referred to, the system
was devised by a representative of
the bondholders of the Crane Creek
project, who after a person
al investigation was impressed with
the difficulties confronting settlers
under that project, and which are un-
the same under all similar
projects. Being a business man of
keen insight, he considered it his first
duty to look into the condition of the
settlers under the great irrigation
system, rightly concluding the best
way to insure the stability of the
bonds was to devote a good measure
Of his time to planning for the sue
cess of the farmers. 1t took but a
short time for him to discover that
the farmers were handicapped by a
lack of money and a consequent lack
of credit, and he set about to assist
them. With the assistance of the
business men of Weiser the Farm
Credits System was organized. To
he bondholders of the Canyon canal
he practical manner in which the
Crane creek bondholders assisted the
settlers offers timely suggestions. A
committee composed of H. L. Fest,
: A. DeClark and V. T. Craig was
ppointed to investigate rural credits
nd report with recommendations.

GEORGE DEMASTERS DEAD
Passed Away After Many Weeks of
Severe Suffering

George Demasters died Tuesday af-
ternoon at o'clock, after an illness
of several months, at his rooms in
the Clint Brown rooming house. The
funeral was held this afternoon from
Bucknum's undertaking parlors and
burial was in the Emmett cemetery.
The services were conducted by Rev.
A. c. Lathrop and a large number of
the deceaseds friends and associates
were present.
Thus passes what might be called
an eccentric character-a type of the
men of the frontier-rough in some
ways, especially to those not init
mately acquainted with him, but with
a big heart and strong sympathy for
the unfortunate. George Demasters
was born in Lafayette county, Mo-,
60 years ago. When "a years of age
he left home for the west, and from
then on he roamed over the states of
South Dakota, Arizona, New Mexico.
and also Old Mexico. He was located
at Deadwood for many years, first as
a logger and afterwards engaging in
the livery business, for which he had
a marked aptitude. He came to Idaho
in 1903, living with his brother Joseph
on the ranch near Ola. In 1905 he
worked for his nephew Jess in the
brick barn in Emmett and soon af-
ter took over the business and fol-
lowed it until his death. While at
Ola, he taught the Jack Knife school
for two months He had no war re-
cord, reports to the contrary notwith-
standing.
He is survived by a brother, Jos.
Demasters of this city, and sister,
Mrs. Anna Giltner, who was at his
bedside during his last days.
