BOOTLEGGER IN THE
TOLLS
Thirty-One Quarts of Old Crow
Seized in Raid on Room
House

Sam Goldus, proprietor of the GreeI
roominghouse in West Emmett is ir
Jail charged with bootlegging, anc
Sheriff Klepper's stock of liquors al
the court house has been increased "
l31A quarts of Old Crow, 'bottled in
bond" of course
The rooming house, which is in West
Emmett, was raided Monday night
by Officers Crabtree and Klepper, as
sisted by former City Marshal Kirk
Landers. Marshal Al Leggitt "de-
veloped" the case in shrewd piece of
detective work, and was assisted by
the other two officers. After Goldus
had been placed under arrest, a search
of the premises was made and 27
quarts of whisky we're found hidden in
box buried in the chicken house.
The floor was nailed down over it and
the chicken roast was also nailed over
it.
For month or more this rooming
house has been under suspicion of
being place where liquor could be
purchased, but the evidence was diff
ficult to get. Goldus was turned over
to Sheriff Klepper, and committed to
Jail after preliminary hearing be-
fore Judge Sutton, and his bond fixed
at $500. Failing to secure the bond,
he was taken to Caldwell yesterday
and placed in the Canyon county jail |
to await his trial.

DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS
URGED
Petitions Being Circulated to In
clude Upper Part of the
Emmett Valley.

A hurriedly called meeting to discuss
the drainage of the upper Emmett
valley was held in Commercial Club
rooms Saturday evening. There were
present, Mr.. Lewis and Mr. Hayes,
government drainage experts from
Boise
The proposition is to include all the
land between the south bank of the
river and the Last Chance ditch, as
we'll as a small area east of town
above the Last Chance, as far west
and north as District No. /, in a
drainage district, as per a map drawn
several years ago by the late Mr..
Horne. The district will embrace an
acreage of 1000.
The attendance on the meeting was
small owing to the lack of publicity,
but the sentiment of many land own
ers in the proposed district had al
ready been sounded with favorable re-
suits, and after a discussion of the
plans and the process of forming a
drainage district by Mr.. Hayes and
Mr.. Lewis, it was decided to circulate
petitions at once praying for the or
ganization of a district. When the
petitions have been signed another
will be held. The law speci-
fies that 20 per cent of the acreage
is necessary to organize a district.

GU ARD AGAINST
RED SPIDER
Warning Sent Out to Orchardist to
Fight Pest

A warning has been issued by State
Horticultural Director Miles Cannon
urging orchardists to fight the rec
spider and larva with biting mouth
parts, which are damaging prune trees
in the Boise, Payette and Weiser dis
tricts. Deputy Inspector Fred Baisch
says there are few of the pests in
the Emmett district, but he advises
growers to be on the guard, especially
prune growers. He is making thor
ough examination.
How to Handle the Pest
Nicotine spray, two pints to 100 gal
Ions of water, should be used to con-
troll the spider, unless winter strength
lime-surphur was used. As the other
insect bites and swallows its food, ar
senate of lead should be used, two
pounds to SO gallons of water. Where
damage is being done, the spraying
should be completed as soon as possi-
BILE, as the latter insect feeds particu-
larly on the buds and blossoms.
Inspector Baisch has issued the fol-
lowing:
Special Notice to Fruit Growers
l have inspected several orchards,
especially prune orchards, both on
slope and bench and have found that
where thorough spraying with the
solution was done, there
is very little need for alarm, as trees
are almost entirely free from insect
pests of any kind at this time. Where
spraying has been omitted, especially
Apples and pears, | would suggest
that you combine arsenate of lead with |
40 per cent blackleaf, of the strength |
designated on package, when you
make your first application for Goblin
moth This will get red spider, aphis
and young scale as well as Goblin moth |
thereby saving one operation of spray
ng for separate pests. Where young
peach or prune orchards are infested
With peach twig borer, the regular
,odlin moth formula of arsenate of
cad should be applied at once. You
an easily find this insect at this time
" looking for wilted or shriveled ter
ninal leaves and fruit blossoms. 1t
S a small worm or larva about one
bird the size of apple worm and dark
rown in color.
