sideration of all decided that the short,
system mill was the ideal one for
Wilder.
Farmers Get Dockage
In addition to the flour mill the
Wilder Equity elevator will install
new large capacity grain cleaner which
will handle up to 1900 bushels per
hour, taking the grain from the dump.
cleaning it and delivering the dock
age back to the farmer wagon before
his teams leave the scales The dump
will be fitted with q combination
wagon and truck equipment and an
auto and truck scale all combined.
The dump and scale will be of the
latest model and ball bearing and so
arranged that either wagon or truck
can be delivered of its load weighed
before being dumped and weighed
empty or after receiving dockage, all
without having to leave the scales
and in the same length of time it now
takes to dump the wagon.
This is regarded as a great pro
gressive feature and one that will be
greatly appreciated by the farmers
who own the mill and elevator.
The Equity association, believing
that it can be of greater service to the
people in the community by devoting
all its time and energy to the handling
of the farmers products, such as
grain, potatoes. hay, live stock and all
commodities grown on the farm to-
gether with the flour mill and gris'
and roller mill, have decided to dis.
continue the handling of farm machin-
cry and implements and as soon as the
present stock on hands can be dispos.
ed of the grain and grass seed busi.
ness handled by this firm runs into
many thousands OF dollars yearly and
calls Tor the highest class service and
with the machinery business out of it:
way greater efficiency can be main
tanned for the handling of the crops
which are grown on the farms in thi.
district.
Mr.. J. A. McCune, manager of thu
Equity association, is very enthusiastic
over the prospects of great bumpeI
crop from the farms of the Wilde
bench and predicts prosperous yea
for the Equity association.

Petition To Discontinue Mcneil
Service Regarded As
First Step.

The end of the Caldwell Traction
company is i'll sight.
Monday morning. the Oregon Short
Line took over the operation OF the
Wilder branch, electric service being

ice. The same train which goes from
Nampa to Murphy on the Idaho Nor

Saturday a petition was filed by the
Caldwell Traction company with the
state public utilities commission ask
ing permission to discontinue serv-
ice on the Mcneil branch for 50 days
Nearly half of the II miles of line
are asserted to be in dangerous con-

cost the company about $4,000. 1t is
pointed out in the petition that the
present floating indebtedness of the
company is $o8.777.7l but the COM
pany intimates that if the public util-
tiles commission agrees TO permit the
company to cease operation for 60
days, Some means of financing the

Locally, many persons are of the
opinion that this petition. if granted,

FINAL BATTLES
Paul Baseball Team Wins Three
Game Twilight Series in
Caldwell

Unfamiliarity with the 1920 base
ball rules as regards at least one min
or change on the part OF the umpires,
cost Caldwell the second of three
game series of baseball with Paul here
Thursday afternoon. In the eighth
inning, with Cornell on second base
Westcott lifted one over the left
field fence. The ball was clearly fair
when, it left the playing field but
curved far foul before it left the UNI
pires sight On the basis of the 1919
rules, HURT called the hit foul. A
new rule, effective this season. holds
that the position Of the ball when it
leaves the playing field and not when
it passes from the umpires sight de-
termines whether or not it IS iair.
Caldwell lost two runs and the game
as consequence.
Ragged playing by both sides char
|acterized the second game. Errors
of commission and commission were
frequent and frequently costly. But
from the fans standpoint, the game
was fully as interesting as the first
exhibition of the series. In the sixth
inning. Coffey drove the first ball
pitched to him over the night field
fence for home run. II was beau-
tiful hit, timed to perfection since
the bases were filled when he con-
nected.
The Fatal Ninth.
Those four runs tied the score and
it looked asif another tie game call,
ed on account of darkness would re-
suit. Wells of Boise had pitched ,
nice game for the locals, permitting
only one earned run. Poor supper
in the ninth cost him the game. Hen

pitched a good game and dessrved to
win. Not one of the three Rms scor-
ed by Nampa was earned, the totals
contributing to Nampa's success by
making total of six errors, several
of them costly.
On the other hand, idiotic Sbaserun-
ming by Nampa coupled with some
good work running men down be-
tween bases, pulled Zimmerman out
of real hole in the fourth: inning.
McCabe and Joyner led off with hits
and worked around to third and Sec
ond respectively. Stewart clouted one
to Cornell who easily headed off Nc
Cabe who was only half way between
third and home. Webb to sWescott
to Webb accounted for McCabe. In
the meantime, Stewart started for
second. A good throw headed him
off and Joyner took advantage of the
opportunity to start for home. Ben
