DRY KILNS
NEARLY READY
Steam viii Be Turned on Soon-ls
a Modern Lumber Drying Plant

The big dry kilns of the B-P Lum
Der company are nearly completed
and will be put in operation within
the next week or two.
The building is constructed of hol-
ow tile, contains II apartments each
with capacity of six cars. The heat
is generated by steam from the boilers
in the main engine room and conduct
ed through iron pipes. Inside the
building inch pipes are used and these
cover the floor three tiers deep. In
the entire building there are 19 miles
of one-inch pipes. About five days
are reouired. to season inch and a
half thick lumber.
Machinery for the planning mill has
been installed for sometime, but opera
ton of this department has been de-
laved by the difficulty in procuring
material for the pipes to carry of the
sawdust and the shavings. The ma
terial is on the ground now, is being
set up and the plant will soon be In
operation. Acres and acres of piles
of lumber are awaiting both the kilns
and the planning mill before beng

TO BUILD $4,000 FRUIT
WAREHOUSE
Earl Fruit Co. to Erect Modern
Frost Proof Building 70 by
103 Feet.

Several weeks ago The Index an
nounced the intentions of the Earl
Fruit company to enter the field as an
active competitor for a share OF En-
mett's fruit crop and to build a fruit
warehouse and packing plant in this
city.
Frank V. Martin, field manager OF
the Northwest for the Earl company,
was in the city Friday and announced
that his firm would at once begin
the erection of a modern frost proof
warehouse 70 by 103 feet in dimensions
at cost of $40, 900. Ground has been
secured from the Boise-Payette Lum-
ber company northwest of the Short
Line depot and will have ample track
age facilities for the loading of cars.
The building will be of cement con-
struction and absolutely frost proof.
: Plans are now being drawn by Tour
tellotte & Hummell of Boise and build
ing operations will start at once. The
structure will be completed in time to
handle the peach and prune crops.
The Earl Fruit Company is one of
the leading fruit concerns of the coun-
try. They maintain offices in all of
the leading cities of the United States,
Canada and Europe, in addition to
their head office in Spokane. For
many years they have handled the
entire crop of the Westlake orchards
and have made an excellent reputa-
ton for fair treatment and profit
able returns. Their entrance into the
Emmett field on more general opera
tions is significant and means much
to the fruit growers of this section.

CHAUTAUQUA SCORES
BIG SUCCESS
Large Audiences Attend Each
AttractiOn-TOnight VIII
Close the Season.

The first annual Chautauqua ever
held in Emmett will close tonight af-
ter most successful week. All thru
the week the audiences have been large
and the attractions have been of such
a high order as to call forth praise
and compliments from all who have
listened to them.
Three Numbers, however, stand odt
in bold relief. One was Captain Hind
ley. An eloquent speaker with Won
derful command of language and a
magnetic personality, he held his au-
dience spell bound His message deal
ing with the great war, its meaning
win or lose, the work of the Red Cross,
and the patriotism and devotion to
country of the people of Canada,
whence he came, stirred the hearts of
his hearers in a wonderful manner
and brought home to them as had
never been done before, the duty of
every American citizen.
At the luncheon given by the Com
mercial Club in the Baptist church
Monday noon, Captain Hindley de-
voted himself to the work of the Red
Cross. He told of what Canada had
done-how the city of Toronto had
already furnished 10000 soldiers and
2 million dollars in funds. The same
proportion of men and funds were
provided by every city, town and ham,
let in the Dominion. He told in ell
oquent words what this war means to
humanity and the great responsibility
resting upon every friend of democ-
racy. Plates were laid for 70 and
there were no vacant chairs.
The second number that had
special appealing force was the "Story
of the Trenches" by Ada Ward. The
third was the Chautauqua Orchestra.
The committee that fathered the
Chautauqua enterprise will about
come out even in a financial way. No
decision has yet been reached as to
whether another will be held next
wear or not.

Prosecuting Attorney Reed and
Sheriff Nichols attended the school
meeting at Jack Knife, near Ola, on
Monday. This is a Joint district, in
cluding portions of Gem and Boise

district, to change the location of the
schoolhouse to a more central point
to be decided later, to bond the district
and build new schoolhouse. Attor-
ney Reed was present to give legal
advice.

GIVEN Sl4OO
AS DAMAGES
Idaho Power Co. Pays Chas. Chaplin
Because of Injuries from Live Wire

Charles Chaplin, Jr., the 10-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Chaplin OF
this community, was paid S1400 in
cash by the Idaho Power company in
settlement of injuries the boy receiv-
ed from coming in contact with a
live wire last fall. The settlement
was by mutual agreement, although
the matter went through the formality
of a friendly suit in the Ada county
district court, conducted by Finley
Monroe.
The accident occurred November 2S
of last year, while the boy was on his
way home from school. An electric
power wire had broken off near the
former Tom Alley farm and dropped
to the ground. Young Chaplin picked
it up. In places on his first and
second fingers the flesh was cooked
to the bone, and other portions of his
hand and fingers severely burned.
The second finger was burned so Sc
verely that amputation was necessary.
While the first finger was saved, it
is stiff and out of shape.
The settlement is satisfactory to
both parties, it is understood.

FRUIT DRYER
TO BE ADDED
Evaporating Plant of 1O0-Ton Ca
pacity to be Built Next Year.

Since the above was written The
Index has received letter from Mr..
Martin, stating that the Earl company
has definitely decided to build an ad-
,dition to the warehouse now, and dur
ing next winter install fruit evapor-
.ating plant.
The plant will equal in size the
plant now being installed at Meridian,
which will have daily capacity of 100
tons.
The construction of the plant, how
ever, will have just one string attach
ed to it, and that is the willingness of
the fruit growers to sign up a portion
of their tonnage. This consideration
is a reasonable one and will undoubt-
.edly meet the approval of the fruit
growers.

that the great increase this year is

the fact that over 5000 acres of ap-

are now from to years old.
