Mssnbees Of etseA Hsrtieulturai Board
Hold hsrsnsnssst Msstins With
hamiiton orchardists.

Hamilton, Jan. 2O.-iSpecial)-Oppo-
sition to rigid fruit inspection and the
regulations against the sale OF scabby
fruit, flashes Of which have been OBJ
served here for u long time, vanished
this afternoon during meeting at the
chamber of commerce in which growers
from many parts OF the Bitter Root
valley discussed horticultural law with
three members Of the state board of
horticulture. sE4w
i The call for the meeting mentioned a
supposed desire on the part of growers
TO relax the fruit regulations. but the
meeting developed no such desire.
The orchardists indicated rather a de-
sire for continued inspection of fruit
and strict enforcement of the laws for
bidding the sale of scabby apples.
Two important changes-one In the
state code and one in the boards meth.
od--were. however, suggested by the
growers. The state legislature will be
asked to make the change in the code:
the horticultural board has practically
agreed to make the other change. The
growers want: sau
A state appropriation of $4,000
to establish fund to cover the
cost of fruit inspection. eliminating
the inspection fee:
A regulation making inspection
of fruit at the point of shipment
final. E
Resolutions asking for these actions
were drawn up at the meeting.
Fred T. Parker OF Missoula. T. r
Black of Whitehall and A. v. Platt OF
Como were the board members who
ATTENDED the meeting. They expressed
their sympathy with the wishes of the
growers. They feel that the present
inspection fee Is n nuisance which
should be- done away with. The, rule
making inspection prior to shipment
final will be adopted by tho board
these members said. ,n,f l
Tho chamber OF commerce building
was quite filled with, growers. not only
from Hamilton but FROM remoter parts
of tho valley. Practically all, OF the
big fruitgTDwcs of the Bitter Root
were present. IL. II. Spaulding OF
Hamilton presided. .i,,.
I Tho discussion. Of the horticultural
code Ito allow which the meeting was
called) WINS frank and thorough, but
no opposition to close inspection or this
ban on scabby fruit was raised. All
of the growers expressed their SYM
pathy With the efforts Of the board Il
rid the state Of fruit diseases, and
agreed that relaxation of the code
would be dangerous.
The inspection fee to- which the
farmers object Is, charged by the. state
to cover the expenses Of the horticul-
tural board and it's inspectors. Two
cents a box. or IS a carload is the
rate.

Washington. Jan. 20.-Immediatc
withdrawal Of a Substantial number
of national guardsmen from the border
has been ordered by the war depart
ment and General Funston now is Sc
lecting the units to be sent home. In
announcing the order late today, Sec.
retary Baker said, the number to be
withdrawn at this time probably would
be $4,000 or 10000.
The secretary refused to comment
on the order or say what relation It
might have to the withdrawal of GEN
eral. Pershing's expidition from Mex
leo. He said the organizations to be
withdrawn would be announced as
soon as General Funston reported
those he had designated. This with
drawal will reduce the force of state
troops, on the border to between $1,000
and 10000, men,
withdraw Expected Soon.
The announcement generally was
accepted. however, as an indication
that the withdrawal of. Pershing,s
force would not be long delayed. It
has been understood that as quickly
ash border stations are evacuated by
state troops, regulars will move up to
occupy them but tonight it was said
authoritatively that no order to bring
the regulars north had yet been Is
sued. 5.>

AWAYs SOMETHING.
(By WALT MAsON.'

There's always something calls for brine, if ones inclined to nope and whine. The weather man provides a day that ought to please the carping jay; the sky is smooth, the breeze a peach that murmurs through the elm and beech. It is day when normal men throw up their lids and whoop again, a day on which they grow and thrive, and thank their gods that they're alive. But you will see the mournful hick who says such weather makes him sick. He says the sweet and balmy breeze is spreading mic Iobes and disease. Unless We soon have snow and frost" he mutters, we shall all be lost" 1t is so easy to be gay, in this old planet where we stay. so easy to discover good in any earthly neighborhood, it is a marvel there are gents who still are sulking in their tents. I go forth in the Autumn dawn and loaf around upon my lawn. and see a world so bright and fair, can't be- lieve it's stocked with care. And then my neighbor yells across, "This coun- try is total loss, They're lacking up the income tax until it's bound to break our backs"

AUTO DEALERS PROTEST TO FAIR COMMISSION
 ABOUT OUTLAW RACES

Every automobile dealer and access sory dealer, or representative, was present at the meeting held last night at the salesrooms of the Babbitt-Pol- son company. The purpose of the meeting was to protest against the holding and staging of an outlaw" automobile race or races during the state fair M. L. Burkhead was unan- imously elected chairman and George Purdy Bullard was one of the first to take the floor. MT. Bullard stated that Secretary Zachau of the state fair commission had made arrange ments with Sloan Henkinson who will furnish automobiles and drivers for such attractions and which he said is nothing more than an exhibition in which there is no sport or excite ment. It was stated that the money paid for these races is simply hip podrome or carnival proposition.
 Practically every dealer present took the floor in turn and protested against the races being held under the auspices of the International Mo- tor contest association. It was brought out that in staging such a contest or race, the track at the fair grounds will be disbarred from holding races under sanction of the Arizona Auto mobile association. It was also stat ed that the fact that the races were held under the auspices of the three "A's," does not mean that the driver must be a professional. Any amateur can drive under sanction of the three AS" This is proven by the fact that the drivers driving at the fair last year were all licensed three "A drivers, and were boys from Phoenix, Tucson, Globe and other cities in Ar izona and also New Mexico. Not one professional was entered.
 The dealers said they believe that there could be no greater harm done to the clean sport for which Phoenix is noted, than the staging of this ex- hibition. In the past automobile day has always been the biggest day of the fair, people coming not only from all over Arizona, but from Texas, New Mexico and California. They believe that if the exhibition scheduled is staged, dealers and automobile en- thusiasts from none of the cities of Arizona will visit Phoenix on this day.
 A committee of four was appointed to formulate a protest which will be submitted to the fair commission. On this committee ar Cal Messner, of the Cal Messner company; William Ferguson, of the Ferguson-Xieler com pany; NJ. l.. Burhead, of the Babbitt- Poison company, and J. J. McAleer.

Frederick the Greats wonderful army of grenadiers still And the Prussian king begged given the privilege of crushing this Democracy that had just born in France
 The Prussian army advanced with banners flying and bands playing headed straight for Paris It would make short work of these ragmuans and rebels and murder Its equipment perfect. Its artillery most formidable. Its discipline matchless. In fine, the thoroughness prevailed Prussia then regard things military that prevailed this day this splendid army turned back in that valley of the Marne.

Word has been received here that the McGaffey company has started grading for the new railroad which will be built from Hollbrock into the pine forests 75 miles south. A large outfit of men and mules have been put to work and a second outfit will be placed on the job in short time. Rights of way for the first 20 miles out of Hollbrook have been secured and the balance will be provided for in a few days. The proposition has been financed. the steel has been purchased and the work of grading the bed being actually started; it seems that the dream of the resi- dents of Navajo county for 20 years is about to come true. The railroad will reach the coal fields on the northern border of the Apache In dian reservation. About 10 years ago number of Phoenix and Prescott men got together and patented several thousand acres of coal land in that section of the country The build ing of this railroad will open up vast areas of coal and timber lands that have heretofore been untouched
