NETT country since the early 80s, died
at 8 o'clock this morning at his home
in Cooks addition. His death was un-
expected, he having retired last night
in good spirits and as well as usual
Death was caused, it is believed, by
tumor which had appeared upon his
neck near the throat. Ed Bishop is

FIGURING MILL IN
PROSPECT
Fifty Barrel Mill and Elevator Being
Considered by Coop Exchange

The Farmerr Cooperative Elk
change held special meeting OF
stockholders last evening to consider
the establishment Of = grain elevator
and Touring mill in connection with
their other business. The proposition
was discussed at length and as q pre-
iminary step voted to increase the
amount of stock each stockholder may
own from $1,000 to 5000.
The tentative plans as worked out
by Manager Mingus contemplate an
investment of approximately $35, 900
in buildings and plant. This amount
will provide modern flour mill with
a capacity of so barrels = day and 8
40, 000-bushel grain elevator. The
buildings, which will be of concrete,
are to be erected on the grounds own
ed by the corporation and directly at
the rear of the office building.
The increase in stock will be sold
to finance the proposition. This is
an industry that is greatly needed
here. AS business proposition and
as investment the stock is consider
ed gilt edged. 1t has always looked
like piece of foolishness, bad bust
ness and waste to ship grain out of
this section and ship flour back.

ONE MORE DOSE
CLEANS APPLES
One More SPRAYING Needed to Insure
Clean Fruit.

Fred Baisch, deputy fruit inspector
says Emmett orchards are in an ex-
ceptionally healthy condition and that
the fruit is freer from worms and
other pests than at any time during
his residence here. All that is need
ID now, he says, to insure a practical
ly 100 per cent clean crop of apples is
to not neglect spraying for codling
moth. He gives the following instruc-
tions:.
II desire to call the attention Of
fruit growers to the third codling
moth spray. / think the apple or
chards on the Slope should be spray
ed not later than July 25, while in the
valley proper and on the bench, July
81 or % would be about right
"Spray with the same formula as
the last: Four pounds Of lead to 200
gallons of water, and where much
aphis is in evidence, Black Leaf 40,
one quart to 200 gallons of spray
should be added.
Il am pleased to report that very
lew worms are showing up, and with
good thorough spraying on the above
iates believe no more will be neces-
'ary to keep the apples free from
worms. ! also wish to emphasize the
hinning Of fruit wherever there are
lusters of more than two apples in a
lace"

Twin Calves.

Bert R. Morehouse of the bench, a
prosperous young farmer and Jersey
breeder, had twin calves arrive at
his home last Sunday while he was
away on vacation. Bert says that is
all right, he doesn't pay any atten-
tion to little things like that, as he
is getting two fingers chewed up in
stead Of one. He says they are per-
fectly good calves. Mum is the word,
but the mother Of the twins is one Of
his fine grade COWS.

feet Of hose and hose cart for .

sity for such action. The Boise Pay

TO CALIFORNIA m An
AUTO
George Ewing Writes Interest
ing information for Pres
pective Tourists.

George Ewing Of Letha, who with
friends from Ohio left several weeks
ago for California by auto, writes as
follows concerning the trip:
Yesterday afternoon, July 8, raf
down to Los Angeles from Santa
Barbara with my Cincinnati friends
This morning / received several let
ters and copies of the good old In
dex, which gave me much pleasure
In reading them / see Mr. Helfert had
lots of trouble on the road getting
gasoline, which surprises me, rs I
have had no trouble in getting it from
place to place in my whole trip. I've
been refused gas good many times
and could only get one, two or three
gallons at time at many places, but
] always tried to keep rs much in the
tank as possible. The only trouble
I've had has been tire trouble, break
ing a front spring and replacing the
high speed gear in the transmission.
/ had the bearings taken up, changed
oil and had brakes adjusted in Port
land. Much of the worst places and
bad hills are or win be fine by next
year. The Moeier Hill is = thing of
the past A new road win be in nse
between La Grande and Pendlston.
The Roberts Mountain in the vicinity
Of Grants Pass will be replaced by =
fine highway before long. Gas vas
scarce in Sacramento and many other,
places, but l found quite number
where you could just fill up.
II few more from Emmett make
his trip next year it will be hard to
Seep up the usual population Of the
own. The. trip is well worth while
ind if one goes via LeGrande, PEN
lleton, The Dalles and Portland there
will be no bad places on the trip. Tho
i'd road thru the Sacramento canyon,]
% much dreaded once, is now fine and
afe. Detours and construction To-
alities will be encountered for some
ime, but no one need fear the trip
gho can drive at home.
We take up our abode at Long
leach the first of next week for one
lonth at least"

Cochran ran true to form and there
are few indeed in his class. Balm
bridge Colby, to whom Glass yielded
20 minutes, is wonderful speaker
and Carter Glass closed the debate in
an able defense of the platform as re-
ported by the committee. An hour and
half Of Glass and Colby sobered the
delegates and keartened the enemies
Of Bryan, and the conventions voted
down all amendments to the platform
and adopted it as it came from the
committee. Bryan was defeated, but
was he? When the whole story is
known, when all the plans Of his
enemies are laid bare, will it be re-
corded as a defeat or as one more VIC
tory for "th.s Great Commoner? 2"
Many believe that his efforts there
has insured congress that will see to
it that the Volstead act is not tam
pered with. Time will tell. It rs
safe, however, to predict that every
senator and every congressional can
didate will be forced to record himself
as opposed to the reopening of the IL
quor question.
Looking back over the convention,
after the first disappointments orc
over, few impressions stand out
above the rest. It was Democratic
The hand Of the boss was
little in evidence. Even Tammany
failed to hold control over the Up
State delegates, 20 Of them voting
with the Western men. The spirit of
oneness among the delegations from
the west and to less degree, of the
south, was wonderful. The unit rule |
was blessed and cursed, but sae only
place it worked hardship was in the |
East and . few Middle West states.
Then the good will among all states.
The delegates marched, cheered, and
yuyed each other, but it was all grven
md taken good naturedly, and few
'ores were apparent. Everything was
lone in the open, and fought out in
he light. Some had to win, some to
ose, but no one felt that he had been
betrayed by the bosses and used as
/ puppett to dance when they pulled
he string.

PUMPING PLANT 70 Be
DUPLICATED

Fire Apparatus for River
side Addition.
After listening to a report Of tn

After listening to a report Of the
waterworks committee, in which was
pointed out the necessity of doubling
the capacity Of the city pumping plant
in order to handle the constantly in
creasing consumption of water, and
also to guard against any emergency
that may arise, such as the present
and only pump being damaged or put
out of commission by constant service,
the city council last evening decided
to duplicate the present pumping ma
chinery at an expense Of about $4,000.
This action is wise one, and will not
only safeguard the city in case Of fire,
but will insure bountiful supply of
water to consumers at all times.

comprises the proceeds of an enter
tainment recently given by the mem
bers Of the conference and their
friends.

as a very remarkable showing In the
face OF high prices was the largel,
increased deposits In the Providenl
Savings fund OF the society for the
current year. as compared with the
| previous year. which itself was a
banner year. These deposits for the
| seven months this year have totaIed
| x12.206.6S. an increase of $3.404.55
| over the previous year.
The monthly reports OF the seven
| district visitors OF the society showed
| they had under care 200 families In
| April. OF these families, 1872 had re-
quired aid In the. form of financial
| assistance. which had been given to
the amount of $2.400. The visitors

| including IS families in which there
was tuberculosis. In 25 families ir-
| regular school attendance OF the chill.
