SERIAL STORY
Begins Wednesday of Next Week at
Ideal Theater

"a Lass of the cumberland" is
the title of new serial story which
will begin Wednesday, July IS, at

lures Miss Helen Holmes.
"a Lass of the Lumberlands" is a
story of the timberlands and the Won
derful battle conducted by a daring
and pretty girl against the mighty
lumber trust. It's scenes are all laid
in the big timber country of the far
north, and ere the story ends you will
see pictured on the screen the opera
tions of the great numbering industry
of this country. In this respect the
story is extremely entertaining-a
thrilling narrative of girls fight
against the lumber trust.

MININGATPEARLS SHOWS
ACTIVITY
Two Big Properties Working
Full Time-ImprOyement
of Roads Needed Badly.
SPECIAL Correspondencel

Looking at Pearl to-day makes one
think it is coming to life again in g
mining way The Hecla- Checkmate pro-
perty is going ahead as fast as they
can and taking out some ore besides
doing considerable development
work They have drifted on the ore
and are now cross-cutting for another
vein. They have graded for tram
line to the Whitman mill and are fix
ing up the mill for the fiotation pro-
cess, from which they expect to save
about 80 per cent of the values. This
is very much better than the COM
pany of early days in this camp.
Quite crew is at work and more
will be put on soon.
The Idaho Consolidated, previously
known as the Lincoln, are working
three shifts and from all reports have
good showing of very good ore.
This mine has the ore but in the past
have had considerable trouble in let
ting it get away from them. The vein
is in swelling ground and timber will
not hold it very long. The mud sills
will bend up and break in very short
time. This mine should drift in the
foot wall and then they would not
need many timbers and could use the
caving system as used in many other
mines. Indications are that the new
company will do considerable work
and make paying proposition of this
old standby of the camp.
Look for some of the other proper
ties to start work during the summer
and continue thru the winter. The
more the better, and Emmett should
look forward for some of the business.
We have a poor road to Emmett, our
nearest railroad point, but can make
a much better grade to Middleton
even if it is little longer haul. The
county has not done anything on our
road in a permanent way for the past
three years that l know of and dur
ng the spring, and fall TINS road is
and should have the COM
nissioners' attention.
IS to whether they will have any
wheat or not. Some places it is
burning badly and rain will not help
t any, but on others good rain soon
will make a crop. All the ranchers
,ut in all the wheat they possibly
ould and should have nice crop of
wheat.

NO DECISION ON FRUIT
DRIER
Fruit Growers, After Meeting
With Promoter, Take Mat
ter Under Amusement.

A goodly number of fruit growers
met Friday evening to consider the
proposition of L. M. Ormsby to install
vacuum air evaporator in this city.
J. Loe Reed was elected chairman
and F. H. SPOTS, secretary.
L. NJ. Ormsby, who owns the pat
ent rights for the process in Idaho,
set forth the principal features of lis
system and the conditions under
which he would install plant of Is
ton capacity. The plant complete
would cost $4,000. 1t would handle Is
tons every eight hours of fruit or
vegetables. Additional units might
be installed at cost of about $4,000
each. He was willing to accept fruit
in payment for stock, and also act as
marketing agent for the output of
the factory.
Harvey Alfred, state director of
farm markets, gave an earnest talk
on the Importance of conserving all
the products of the farm and orchards
during the war, and stated
he hoped the fruit growers in this
section would install some system of
fruit drying so that there may be
no waste.
After considerable discussion a COM
mittee, consisting of Guy Dayton, G.
Coulson, Mr.. Wills, N. B. Barnes and |
H. ]. DeClark, was appointed to as
certain how many of the growers
would support such proposition as
Mr.. Ormsby offered and report at a
Meeting to be held the following day.
The meeting Saturday resulted in
10 decision and the matter was taken
lnder advisement pending further in
yestigation.

Rad Day for Autos

Sunday was unlucky day for auto
mobilists. DR.. Tukey broke the axle of
his Cadillac in Shellrock canyon, Emil
Mech ripped the gears of his Ford on
Brownlee while going fishing, and Joe

from Cascade in Studebaker Six,
accompanied by his father and mother.

The county board is in session as

A peculiar case under the draft
registration came before the local
board this week. Paul Gary was a
member of the Oregon National
Guard until a week or two ago, when
he was honorably discharged after a

did and must register in order to avoid
punishment. His number is sos.

The city has placed sign pedestals
in the center of the street inter
sections from Hayes avenue west to
Boise avenue, warning drivers of con-

mobile traffic is assuming such large

were imminent. If traffic regulations
are followed by every one the danger
will be greatly lessened. "Keep to the

MANY PROFFERS
OF MASCOTS
Bantam Chickens Galore for Major
Clark's Corps.

The Index had scarcely been mailed
last week when the offers of bantam
roosters and hens as mascots for Ma
jor B. o. Clark's field hospital corps
began to come in. Telephone calls
from boys and girls on the bench
slope and in town kept up all day
Friday and into Saturday. There
were red ones and white ones and
black ones and varied colored ones. 1t
was mighty fine the way the young
patriots responded.
James Little, Jr., offered a pair;
Marion and Harold Coulter, a pair;
Geo. W. Gordon got into the game
and knew of a pair he could get IN
trade; Zene Zackman brought in a
fine rooster and Claude Polly offered
to furnish mate for him Jack Jones'
little girl had a dandy; NJ A Ross
granddaughter was anxious to donate
pair; Grace Allen had a pair, and
Tom Hargus knew of a roaster that
he would be glad to buy and donate
to get him out of the neighborhood,
because he never slept and his crow
ing began as soon as the first streaks
of light shot across the eastern
horizon. There were others, including
John Carpenters son Dale, whose
beautifully colored red rooster was
accepted and sent over Tuesday.
When he arrived he found others had
enlisted ahead of him, so he proceeded
to "clean up" the usurpers, which ne
did after a violent bombardment and
a ferocious bayonet charge.

A census estimate for the entire
country, compiled on the basis of the
draft registration, will be used for
determining appointments. Each
city, county or state must furnish two
thirds Of one per cent of its paper
population. This gives Idaho a pop
ulation of Al, ,6S4. This would mean
that the state will supply 2744 men
for the draft.
On the same basis Gem county will
be required to furnish 50 men.
