Making Sorghum.

R. E. holland Of Montour brought to
The Index Saturday sample of the
sorghum he has manufactured this
year, and it is good stuff Only small
acreage of cane was planted this year,
but since Mr.. holland has shown that
he is capable of manufacturing SUI
perior grade of syrup, many ranchers
in that section have signified their
intention to plant considerable area
next year. Sorghum can be used to
considerable extent in lieu of sugar in
cooking, and the flavor impaired, es-
pecially to cookies, is superior to that
from sugar.

CAR SHORTAGE HINDFRS
PRUNE HARVEST
Fifteen Carloads Being Packed
Daily-Damage Unless Cars
Are Provided.

Fifteen carloads of prunes are being
packed daily in Emmett, and that
many loaded cars would wend their
way to market if it were. not for the
shortage of cars. As an instance,
Bert Hirleman, superintendent of the
Earl Fruit Company here, says his
plant is packing four carloads daily.
Yesterday six cars were needed, but it
was possible to get only two. AS
result, great stacks of Grated prunes
are piled up everywhere-on the main
floor, in the basement and on the plat
forms. The same conditions exist in
the Denny and Fruit Union packing
houses. Unless the shortage is re-
Iieved large quantities of the fruit1will
pc damaged, if not total loss, it is
feared.

A Wonderful Accomplishment

The recital given Tuesday evening
at Liberty Theatre by Miss Marion
/ Evelyn Cox, contralto, and Miss Doris
Proudfit, violinist, who appeared with
the Edison Phonograph, was an enter
tainment of highly pleasing nature
and greatly enjoyed by the music low
ers of Emmett.
The blending Of the voice of Miss
Cox with that of the recreation of
her voice on the Edison was marve-
lous, it being difficult to distinguish
that more than one voice was being
heard, so perfect was the recreation.
The lights were turned out and when
she stopped singing, the audience fail !
ed to detect that the phonograph was
producing her songs to perfection. !
Miss Cox possesses very attractive
voice of beautiful tone, which is rem
dered on the Edison just as beautiful
y as when Miss Cox appears person
lily. Miss Proudft distinguished her
'elf as an artist of no little ability ,
when her violin renditions blended !.
'erfectly with those of such artists

SYSTEM
Advantages of Cabinet Form of
Government Explained by
Atty. Gen. Black.

declaring that the cabinet form of
government, adopted by the present
state administration, has resulted in
oetter government and more efficient
service with less waste; that instead of
building up a political machine. az
charged, it reduces opportunities for
political control to the minimum. At
torney General Black on Monday even
ing championed the new system and
explained in detail its operation. He
emphatically denied that the cabinet
mas increased taxes, and by series
OF charts giving the expense of each
department in plain figures he com
pared the cost of the old system with
that of the new.
The Increase in taxes, he said. over
that Of the last year of the Alexander
administration is 4.S mills. Of this 2
mills are for state highways to meet

penses, such as the building of the

the replacing of the Lewiston Normal
building and the Soldiers Home in
Boise, both destroyed by fire, the pay
ment of bonds which became due dur
ing the previous administration, but
which were not paid-these and other
smaller items accounted for tax in
crease.
Defending the adoption of the con-
stabulary system for law enforcement.
Mr. Black stated that it would have

The discovery in the hills on the
Woods ranch is an important one, as
it demonstrates that coal underlies
that entire section, and the further
fact that it underlies the hills, max
ing mining operations easier and OBJ
waiting water trouble. The sinking
of . well for oil with a core drill will
at the same time disclose how deep
this coal extends beneath the surface
and whether or not it is of commercial
value.
