THE SAME Old STORY.

Five high school boys in a new
machine came around the curve in
road near San Francisco at high rate
OF speed, fail 10 see lowered gates at
railroad crossing in time, crash
through the same and are struck by
limited train. three killed, fourth
seriously injured and machine com
pletely demolished
SO goes the story nearly every day,
How long w.ll it be before drivers
will become aware Of the fact that a
railroad crossing is necessarily dan
gerous at any time and that a halt
should always be made?
An accident of this kind is most
regretable. not only to the families
of the deceased but for the engineer
and fireman who are subjected to
the nervous shock and may be inca
pacitated for work as result
through no fault on their part.

CANYON COUNTY
ORCHARD NOTES

Some OF the most important facts
brough out by the orchard survey OF
Canyon county are the following:
There are approximately 1900
acres OF commercial orchards in this
county: one-third OF this acreage is
In Jonathan apples; one-flfth in
Rome Beauties. and one-fifth Wine
,lp apples. In other words. 73 per
cent OF this entire acreage IL set TO
the three varieties OF apples Seven
per cent OF the entire acreage is
Italian prunes. Slightly over ten
per cent OF the orchard is bearing
although one-half OF the bearing ac-
reage Is but s years old. or the
ninety per cent not yet bearing, over
one-half was four and five years old
In the summer of 1915. The great
bulk OF the orchards will begin to
bear in 1918 and 1919.
Orchard paintings have practically
stopped. one-fourth OF the orchard
acreage was planted by orchard COM
panies. There are is companies with
total acreage of 4,272. There are
over 7SO commercial fruit growers in

The work OF drilling the big o. S
l.. well at this place Is proceeding
merrily, a depth of 26O feet being
reported this morning. The drkl
has been working in water for sever
al days but a sufficient force has
not yet been struck TO cause the wat
er TO flow out OF the hole. although
Il rises TO within few feet OF the
top. indicating that II is slightly ar
tesian. The well has not been cased
the entire depth and II is the belief
OF those In charge that had this been
done the water would run out at the
top. The drill went through shale
at a depth OF about rs feet and the
water probably escapes through that
strata. Drilling will be continued In
the hope OF striking a strong arte'
sian flow.
