SIGNAL FAILURE
Of TW0.PART|ES
* ommoner" Stirs Big
Audience on Monday
With Appeal for Bet
ter Citizenship; Gen.
sures Democratic Plat
form.

Approximately $500 Caldwell peo-
pie shivered through a two hour ad-
dress given at Memorial park Monday
evening by w. J. Bryan, thrice Dem
ocratic nominee for president.
Ingratitude of the average American
citizen to the government and the
blessings which it has given him was
the theme of Mr.. Bryan's address. He
rallied both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties for failure to measure
up to their opportunities in taking de-
cided stands upon the pressing prob
lens Of the day. He deplored the
sand taken in both platforms on the
league of nations, prohibition and
pro6teering and asserted that if it
lay in the hands of the church to make
the voice of the people insistant on
these things and effect needed re-
forms. But the church is not taking
advantage of its opportunity. is not
using its influence to reconcile labor
and capital. to put damper on prof.
teering or to solve the international
problem, in Mr.. Bryan's belief.
Voice Bothers Bryan
Mr.. Bryan was not at his best Mon
day evening. His voice was some
what husky. strained, no doubt, by
twice daily repetition of the two hour
address. AS he progressed, however,
his voice cleared and regained some
what its old time clarity and interest
compelling quality. Lights in Liberty
Hall made it difficult for his audience
to keep their eyes upon him. The
lights were finally turned off and Mr..
Bryan, occupying chair where his
face was visible continued the address
under more favorable conditions.
Immediately following the San
Francisco convention, Mr.. Bryan
asserted that he would, for the
time being, withhold his Support
from the Democratic nominee I'M
til the issues of the campaign be-
came more clear and the position
taken by Mr.. Cox on prohibition
and other issues in which Mr..
Bryan is interested, were fully
understood. From his address
here Monday it was evident that
Mr.. Bryan had not made up his
mind to align himself definitely

Third Spray Time
for Moth Is Here

Right now is the time for the third
arsenical spray fof the destruction
of Goblin moths on apple and pear
trees, according to Harry Sabin, de-
putty horticultural Inspector for the
Caldwell district who was in town
Thursday. The second brood of cod
lin moths will hatch within the next
10 or IL days. Before that time, the
third arsenate of lead spraying should
be completed. Mr.. Sabin sets July 26
or u as the final dates in this district
for spraying for this brood of moths
if the spray is to be effective. This
spraying acts by covering the young
pear and apples with the poisonous
mixture and destroys the worms by
the stomach poison route.
Fruit prospects are considered un-
usually favorable in this district and
it is urged that every effort be taken
to preserve the quality of the crop.
Five pounds of arsenate of lead or
eight pounds if the poison comes in
the paste form to 200 gallons of water
is the correct formula for summer
spraying, according to Mr.. Sabin.

ONE FIRM MOVES

This week saw the first of threat
ened epidemic of business moves when
the goods of the Caldwell Alexander
Clothing store were taken across Main
street to the newly remodeled build
ing leased by M. Alexander from
Swain Beatty. Equipped with new
and attractive front and deeply recess
ed windows, the new store gives
promise OF. being an attractive place
of business. Work on the new build
ing was not complete when it was
occupied by the Alexander store, the
plate glass windows having been put
in Thursday after business was under
way. This was made necessary by
the forced removal of the Kahn Cloth
ing company stock into the room
formerly occupied by the Alexander
store in the near future.

TRAFFIC
ONCE MORE0 ON
TRACTION LINE
Under Direction of Re-
ceiver, Cars Roll Again
on Mcneil Branch; Po-
tato Crop Ready.

Traffic, both passenger and freight,
will be resumed today on the Mcneil
branch of the Caldwell Traction COM
pany under the direction of c. D..
Purkhiser, formerly general traffic
manager of the line and now holding,
under the direction of Judge Ed. l..
Bryan of the district court, a receiver
ship for the property, with instruc-
ton to operat it.
Resumption of traffic is due to far
mers in the Deer Flat and Riverside
districts who last Friday filed COM
plant in the district court asking the
court to restrain w. R. Sebree, owner
of the property, from dismantling it..
Henry Griffiths and Ray Givens. the
latter attorney for public utilities
commission, represented the farmers
at the hearing which was held Tues
day of this week in open court.
Schedule Not Known
just what schedule will be main
tanned on the line could not be deter
mined Thursday, Mr.. Purkhiser being
absent in Boise on business matters.
1t is believed, however, tht both pas
senger and freight service will be
scheduled at the same hours effective
before service was discontinued just
month ago today. 1t is understood,
too, that Mr.. Purkhiser holds the
opinion that the line will at least pay
operating costs.
How long the resumption of traf-
hc will continue depends upon the sue
cess of this undertaking and the pub
lie demand for continuation of the
service. 1t will at least be continued
throughout the potato harvest season
and the belief is freely expressed in
Caldwell that the line will continue to
operate during the entire year.
A bond of $4,000 was required by
the court to insure against further
Indebtedness of the line. Arrange
ments- were Immediately made with
surety company for the bond, farmers
paying the premium. Initial operat-
ing costs will be met through receiv-
ers certificates. Local banks are un-
derstood to be willing to accept them.
Potatoes have already begun to
move and the resumption of operation
of the traction line is regarded as
having come at particularly oppor-
tune time. Two cars of potatoes,
truckcd to Caldwell, were shopped
out Wednesddaay
Selection of Mr.. Purkhiser as re-
ceiver for the line to assume active
of its operation as re-
garded as particularly fortunate Mr..
Purkhiser has had considerable ex-
perience with the operation of the
Caldwell Traction company and is ex-
pected to give competent service in
his present capacity.

Building Permits
Show Good Growth

Building permits issued during the
first six months of 1920 in Caldwell
totalled $445,l40, according to the BIZ
annual report made recently to the
city council by Orel Sovereign, city
building inspector. Of this sum, $780,
600 was for IL commercial buildings,
either under way or completed; $l72,-
SOS was for &c residences and 80 per-
mits were issued for miscellaneous
work, which includes additions and re-
pairs to the amount of $6l,675.
In June, permits aggregated $44350
This amount is not so large as OF
some of the former months, due, no
double, to the lessening of activity re-
sultant to hot weather. This amount
was divided as follows: $1,000 for
four residences; $500 for commercial
buildings and l,450 for miscellan-
eous structures.
While official figures from loop
towns are lacking, it is believed that
the Caldwell building permits exceed
those for either Boise or Nampa for
1920. Mr.. Sovereign anticipates that
building activities will continue
throughout the summer and fall. In
July thus far, building permits have
been issued for sufficient amounts to
insure this being good months from
structural standDo;nt

Crucial Baseball
Games This Week

Caldwelps baseball team will cross
bats Saturday afternoon at Recreation
park with the pennant grabbing Boise
outfit. 1t was originally planned to
play Boise here Wednesday afternoon
but the game fell through because
some of the Boise players could not
get away that afternoon and Cornell
Immediately scheduled the game for
Saturday.
Sunday, Nampa will be here for a
battle which will virtually establish
second place in the Alfalfa Loop
league percentage column. This will
be the next to the last league game
this season on the local fields. The
following, Caldwell goes to Boise and
concludes the season here with the
Meridian team August 2.
No games have been arranged thus
far with teams from outside the Boise
valley to be played at the conclusion
of the regular league season. Fred
Lilly through whose efforts the local
team was placed on a firm footing, is
arranging to take on some outside
teams of worth to tangle with Cor
nell's cohorts. Particular effort is be-
ing directed toward getting games
with teams from Twin Falls section
which have adopted the disconcerting
habit to trimming the local aggrega-
ton. Cornell is confident that, given
another chance with his rejuvenated
lineup. he can give those visitors some
of their own medicine.

Present Plan of
Auto Association

Not many Caldwell business men
are interested in placing conspicuous
automobile signs on the state high
ways, if the attendance at the Com
mercial club meeting Tuesday evening
to listen to representatives of the
Idaho State Automobile association
is any criterion. w. H. L. Niemeyer
and Robert Davis, secrtary and presi-
dent of the organization both of Nam
pa, presented the plan of the associa-
ton in some detail to a handful of
Commercial club members which
President John Smeed, by dint of per-
sonal solicitation, had rounded up for
the meeting.
As outlined by Mr.. Neimeyer and
Mr.. Davis, the association has as its
purpose the signing of all state high
ways with the yellow and black dia-
mond shaped insignia of the associa-
ton from Oregon to Wyoming and
Utah According to the speakers,
about $4,000 will be required for this
work. A general invitation was ex-
tended to Caldwell automobile own
ers to assist the movement by becom-
ing members of the association.
No other business came before the
meeting.

IDAHO CROPS To
bEFAR GREATER
THAN LAST YEAR
July Report Indicates
Maximum Production
of Grains, Fruit, Hay
and Potatoes; Storage
Essential.

OoISe, july Ao.-4ne OutSanoln&
features Of the July report of the
Idaho Crop Reporting Service in
dictate for the state a prospective
wheat crop over four million BUSH
els more than grown last year;
larger crops than in 1919 of corn,
oats, barley and rye; a potato crop
close to a million bushels above
last years, and prospective hay
crop of over half a million tons
more than in 1919. In addition,
there is sugar beet acreage of
60,S00, double that harvested in
1919; the largest prune crop ever
raised and bumper apple crop
that shows improvement each
month.
According to julius H. Jacobson,
agricultural statistician for Idaho,
crop prospects for the state as whole
are better than during the past three
years. There have been timely rains
followed by excellent growing weather.
Ranges are growing luxuriantly. North
Idaho is on hand with one of her old
time bumper crops. The total storage
for the Boise reclamation project is
$4,000 acre feet in excess of year
ago. Jackson Lake reservoir has al
most three times more water than
year ago and the needs of that vast
irrigated empire from Ashton to Buhl.
24O miles in length, are being we'll
cared for.
The railroads will be taxed to their
limit in moving the crops to market.
Additional storage facilities are i'm
perative or else the farmers stand to
lose heavily.
The total wheat crop now indicates
a production of 22,737,OOO bushels, q
decline of $4,000 bushels from last
month. oats gained $4,000 bushels
since last month, totaling 9,43O,OOO
bushels. Barley also improved and
now indicates crop of 4,06l 900 BUSH
els, gain of 10000 bushels sine.

NAL and the final outturn amounted
to 100000 bushels. The present con-
dition is o5 per cent of normal, fore
casting total crop of 6,l86. 400 BUSH
els. According to railroad figures at
hand, southern Idaho shipped 6,727
cars of potatoes from July l, 1919 to
May l, 1920. segregated as follows:
Pocatello north, 3,665 cars; Twin Falls
and Jerome branches, 2,l93 cars, Ada,
Canyon, Gem and Owyhee counties,
S5l cars; other counties 10 cars. All
of these districts show increased acre
age and with the present high con-
dition holding up through the season,
there will be in the neighborhood of
5000 cars shipped from this territory.
1t is interesting to note that the es-
innate of the 1919 Idaho commercial
crop made last November was $3.50
cars, within 100 cars of actual ship
ments or less than per cent
The hay crop shows improvement
from last month. A condition of 81
per cent of normal forecasts 2,234,00O.
In July, 1919, the condition was only
"a per cent and the final crop amoint,
ed to l,7s0,00O tons.
