DEFENDS FRUIT
INSPECTORS

Charges that rigid inspection of
fruit in Idaho this year is materially
cutting down the returns to the grow
ers, were denied recently by Miles
Cannon, state commissioner of agri-
culture, in statement in which the
Idaho official tells why the inspection
is rigid and points out the benefits
of it,
Complaint was also made that while
there were practically no inspectors
in the field during spraying season
there is young army now that ship
ping time is here.
Strict inspection of all fruit and
produce grown in the state for inter
state business is absolutely necessary
for the protection of Idaho's reputa-
ton on the markets of the world" said
Mr. Cannon. He added "If it were
not for this apple dealers from all over
the country would not be in Idaho to-
day paying highest market prices for
the superior quality of fruit released
under the inspection"
Mr.. Cannon lays the blame of lack
of sufficient inspectors properly to
supervise the spraying Of the orchards.
directly at the door of the 1921 legis-
lature which, he says, refused to ap-
propriate any funds to carry on this
work. He also tells why there are
plenty of inspectors in the field now
to see that no "scaly" or "wormy"
fruit is passed. Growers and shippers
stand this expense themselves" he
says, "and the majority of them are
only too willing to pay the cost for the
precedence their fruit gets by having
an inspectors stamp on it which is
recognized by the federal government.
"Of Idaho's estimated apple yield of
4lO0 cars maximum of 10 per cent is
infected this year. If this infected
fruit was allowed in the market il
would increase the receipts of the
careless producer to some extent per
maps, but the question is: What eff
rect would ii have on the 80 per cent
which is clean? 1t is safe to saw that
the reduction in price which would be
realized from the sale of clean fruit
by reason of the infected fruit being
admitted, would be far greater than
the total amount received for the In
fected fruit"
Several attempts have been made
says Mr.. Cannon, to have the laws
governing the sale of infected fruit re-
pealed, but without success. 1T is one
of the oldest laws on the statute
books" he says, "ond the principaI
reason complaints are being made ls
because the department of agricultura

FEW ERRORS IN
STACKER LIST
BETWEEN $4,000 AND 10000 NAMES
REMAIN TO BE PUBLISHED
BY WAR DEPARTMENT
OVER 100000 NAMES PUBLISHED
Only 34S Errors Are FOund-Depart-
ment Proud OF Record.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. Is (Special)
The policy of the war department
to make public the names of all all
legged draft deserters is being thor
oughly vindicated by results. This de-
cislon, announced early in the admin
lstration of Secretary Weeks, created
perfect furore of criticism at the
time. Secretary Weeks and his advis-
ors stood by their guns, confident that
their policy was a wise one. They be-
leved that it was only just to
those who had an honorable war rec
ord that those who had not should be
published
While admitting that the list as pub
llshed might not be 100 per cent ac-
curate, the war department believed
the quickest way to rectify any errors
which might have crept into their
records would be to publish the list
and have the mistakes corrected bv
reason of the publicity of them.
Up to date few over 10O, 900 names
of alleged draft deserters have been
published by the war department
publication of these names has re-
suited in the discovery that 34S of
that number were wrongfully charged
with desertion, and their names have
been officially removed from the war
departments list, and their records
in the war department have been
cleared of any odium. This shows that
only one-third of one per cent of the
war departments lists were in error.
which is a record of accuracy of
which the department is Justly proud
AS soon as the lists began to be
printed some local newspapers severe
ly criticized the accuracy of the lists
and cited alleged cases of gross error.
AS fast as these newspaper stories an
peared the war department set about
TO investigate them. In some cases. 34S
covering all of them, the war depart
ment found there had been a mistake
in its records, but in the majority of
the charges of inaccuracy it found that
newspapers were being imposed upon
by relatives or friends of the men
charged with desertion. The majority
OF stories thus carried were not based
upon facts, generally being some fab
which was foisted on the pa-
pers by the interested parties in the
nope that through its publication To-
cally, the men charged with desertion
might pose as being victims of some |
mistake by the war department.
Between $4,000 and 10000 more
names remain to be published by the
war department.

TO PURCHASE
EQUIPMENT
CITY COUNCIL HAS ALL MATER
IAL IN SIGHT FOR NEW MOVIE
POWER PLANT
OPERATE new PLANT NEXT FALL
Council Win Open Moyie Tunnel Bids
Friday Night.

At the meeting of the city council
held Tuesday night, many matters of
importance were discussed and action
taken. II. H. Hughes, manager of the
city water and light systems, made a
report of his recent trip to Loomis,
Wash, where he inspected electrical
equipment which the city may buy, to
be used at the new power plant to be
located at the Moyie Springs power
site.
He stated that the equipment at
Loomis is in good condition and that
the plant is an up-to-date one He
made list of the equipment which
can be used for the new Moyie plant.
including a generator, switchboard,
five miles of transmission wire, in
sulators, transformers, etc, and has
requested the owner of the plant to set
a price upon it and to come here to
confer with the city council in regard
to the proposed purchase.
If the equipment at the Loomis plant
can be purchased at as low figures as
machinery now on hand was secured
the cost of the new power plant is
likely to be considerably under all
estimates made at the time the bond
issue was voted for this purpose Mr..
Hughes is confident that he will have
the new plant completed and in readi-
ness to serve the city by this time
next year.
The council will meet on Friday
night of this week for the purpose of
awarding the contract for the con-
struction of a tunnel, 100 feet, at the
MOyie power site. One bid has been
received and several others will be
made before tomorrow night. The city
has also received many letters from
contractors who are anxious to get a
chance to figure on any work to be
let in connection with the construction
of the new power plant.
Manager Hughes has secured prices
on wood pipe and has made estimates
of the cost of removing the water main
under the concrete pavement on Main
street to the alleys east and west of
Main street. He has figured the cost
at about $4,000. If it is possible this
work will be done this fall as the
present water main is continually
leaking and bad leak might occur
any time which would result in the
running of the pavement.
Members of the council spent some
time discussing ways and means of
controlling violations of the prohibit
tion law in Bonners Ferry and Mayor
Fry was authorized to take whatever
steps he thought best to handle the
situation.
A committee composed of J. B.
Cowen, F. A. Shultis and o. C. Will
son, was appointed to confer with the
county commissioners relative to plac-
ing electric lights on the county bridge
across the Kootenai river. The city
will furnish electricity for lighting
purposes if the county will stand for
the installation costs.
