new location and was housed in rent
ed quarters IN Boise until June, 1910.
In the meantime the school had been
permanently located in Gooding and
the present administration building
completed, and school was opened here
In September, 1910. The building was
crowded the first year and the legisla-
ture of 1911 made an appropriation to
build and equip boys dormitory. This

the remaining Is per cent being in va
rious stages of maturity. The great
er share Of this acreage is In southern
Idaho, being operated under irrigation
conditions. approximately 10000 acres
is variously distributed through the
Panhandle or northern part Of the state
the only irrigated section in that part
being the Lewiston valley.
YIELD EsTiMATEs
The yield from this acreage as es-
timated by the federal bureau Of crop
estimates. bureau Of markets, state de-

generally agreed up as follows:
Apples 1000 cars. The districts where
this tonnage II produced Is credited
to Payette- Weiser district. $500 cars;
Boise valley 500 cars; Twin Falls dis
trict, 400 cars; Lewiston district, $50
cars; Emmett valley, lis cars: Occur
d'Alene and Moscow districts lis cars;
other minor districts 81 cars. 1t Is
interesting to know that the production
for 1919 was 500 cars over the bumper
crop of 1917.
500 CARS PRuNEs
The prune Industry is confined al
most entirely to the Boise valley. the
Emmett valley and the Payette- Weis-
err .district. Five hundred cars Is the
estimate OF our prune crop for last
year.
The peach crop is estimated at $50
cars. This industry is centered in tho
Boise, Emmett, Lewiston and Twin
Falls districts.
Cherries are entered as commercial
crop with the yield in 1919 as 100

LOSS Is PER CENT

LOSS Is PER CENT
The average loss of the fruit crop
due to worms and scale is estimated at
% per cent for the state. In some sec
lions 1t runs much higher than this and
90 per cent of the crop of that section
Is more nearer the accurate figure. In
some individual orchards the percent
age has run from practically nothing
to as high as 100 per cent. Unqucs-
tionably the greatest loss to our fruit
crop annually Is due TO these two par
ticular pests. Every practical grow
err In the state must spray annually for
San Jose scale where this is common
and at least three sprayings for the
codling moth.
The horticultural laws are designed
to compel insect and disease control
where the owner does not care to do
so. Every conscientious fruit grower
Is entitled to protection from neigh
boring orchards which are known TO he
neglected and a source OF infection to
others.
PROTECTION PAYS
Due to the strong demand for fruit
Of all kinds. good prices. and the stab
tlization of the fruit industry every
fruit grower in Idaho Is justified in
pest control as never before. The Gull
pile this year Is entirely too large and
can be materially reduced by everyone
putting his shoulder TO the wheel on
this spray proposition and putting 1t
across as statewide cleanup cam
paign.
The San Jose scale, so well known
by fruit growers not only causes an
enormous loss of the annual fruit crop
but kills the trees at an alarming rate.
The other insects already mentioned
are pests that must be fought annually
to protect the LIBERALIZATION Of trees
and loss OF fruit.

NO BIG DoRMIToRiES
The first floor will contain school,
rooms, the principals office, and a
much needed assembly room. The sec
ond floor will be occupied by the larger
girls as living rooms. There will be no

WHAT SCOUTS WON ABROAD

The final awards show that the
American delegation of 30l Boy Scouts
Of America decidedly made good at the
recent "jamboree" Of the scouts of the
world In London. They won among
other things the first prize In the prin-
cipal scouting event Of all the world
competitions. That was in the scenic
displays illustrating the history Of the
nations from which the delegations
came. These gave opportunity for
tests of group demonstrations In scout
Ing activities.
The trophy given as this chief award
was the only one of the kind given at
the "jamboree." 1t Is a thoroughly
original design, made entirely by Sir
Robert Baden-Powell, chief of the Brit
ish scouts. 1t is of brilliantly painted
wood and Is a somewhat crude repre-
sentation Of tortoise. 1t Is called
'.the tortoise Of perseverance" The

treated inc audience to more stunts Of
the Indian, plainsmen, Wild West and
cowboy kind than Buffalo Bill ever
dreamed of. This event gave our boys
a chance to demonstrate scouting Of
the true American kind from practi-
cally every angle, which was just what
they went prepared to do
America was also awarded the first
prize for q marching band. This went
to the famous Denver Boy Scout band
of Al pieces which was selected to lead
the grand international procession Of
the scouts of the world, an honor
which was equivalent to the award
as the best Of all scout bands.
America also won first prize In the
boxing contests.

from the blackness of the rear room,

In bewilderment on the strange scene

uplifted hands backed against the
wall the three dead bodies huddled on
the floor; Moore, with the slowly ex-
piring match yet smoking in his fin
gers; the little marshal, erect, re-
volver poised In either hand, his face
set and stern. Then she saw West
colt. and her whole expression changed.
An instant their eyes met; then the
revolver fell to the floor unnoticed, and
the girl sprang toward him, both hands
outstretched.
"You" she cried, utterly giving way,
forgetful of all else except the sense Of
relief the recognition brought her.
"You! Oh Now know 1t is all right
I was so sure you would come"
He caught the extended hands eager

straight down into the depths of her
uplifted eyes. To him, at that moment,

CHAPTER XIV.
In the Two Cabins.
The mnrshal's lips smiled.

The marshal's lips smiled.
"Sure, JIM" he drawled, "anythng
to oblige, although this Is n new one

gentleman does not wish to he dis

ISL. senior; I savvy"
Westcott watched the procession file
out, still clasping the partially uncon-
scous girl In his arms. Moore, bring
ing UP the rear, disappeared through
the entrance, and vanished into the
night without. Except for the three
motionless bodies, they were alone.
From distance Brennan's voice
growled out n gruff order to his line of
prisoners. Then all was still. The
eyes Of the girl opened slowly, her lids
trembling, but as they rested on West
colts face, she smiled.
"You are glad Gamer"
"Glad! why / never really knew
what gladness meant before"
He bent lower, his heart pounding
fiercely, strange words struggling for
utterance.
"You love me?'
She looked at him, all the fervent
Irish soul of her in her eyes. Then
one arm stole upward to his shoulder.
"As you love me-" she whispered
softly, "as you love mel"
.I can ask no more, sweetheart" he
breathed soberly, and kissed her. At
last she drew back, still restrained by
his arms, but with her eyes suddenly
grave and thoughtful.

Poor old Fred. I'll do what / can

He could see little from the door
way. only the dark shadow of mans
form lying full length on the floor.
Then he took the lamp down from the
shelf, and held 1t so the feeble light
fell upon the upturned face. He
stared down at the features thus re-
vealed, unable for the moment to find
! expression for his bewllderment.
Can you come here. dear?" he
called.
She stood beside him, gazing from
his face into those features on which
the rays Of the lamp fell.
"What Is it2" she Questioned breath

they know what's happening" He
chuckled srimly. "We've sure played
in luck so far, boys; go easy now, and
draw yer guns"
They were halfway along the side
wall when the firing began again-but
II was not the Mexicans this time who
began It, The shotgun barked; there
was the sound Of falling body; two
revolver shots and then the sharp ping
OF Winchester. Brennan leaped past
the boy ahead, and rounded the cor
ner. A Mexican stood directly In front
of the shattered door peering In, RI
fie yet smoking In his hands. With
one swift blow Of revolver butt the
marshal dropped him In his tracks. the
fellow rolling Off the steps onto the
ground. With Outstretched hands he
stopped the others, holding them back
out Of any possible view from within.
Quick now, before that bunch in

The hat was straw, and the bundle
Of blazing material landed almost in
the center Of the floor, lighting up the
whole interior. Almost before It
struck, the three men. revolvers gleam-
ing in their hands, had leaped across
the shattered door, and confronted the
startled band huddled in one corner.
