WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?

Summer evenings will be along now
almost before we realize it.
People who do not like to sit IN 9
warm house on a hot night will natu-
rally get out of doors. ;,
But what will they do in Oxford
Where will they go?
We should devise some means OF
public recreation and entertainment
for the summer nights, preferably
something in the ope1-sometnine
that is enjoyable and yet is both ele,
waiting and instructive, something tna'
will make us better as well as happier
Somewhere in this town there IS
good suggestion hidden away under
hat.
Let it out. Give, US the benefit OF
it. It may be just what we want.

The new road from the foothills east
of town over the summit is nearly
completed and will be open for traf-
fic the last of this week or the first
of next. AS previously stated in these
columns, the new road shortens the
distance to Montour about two miles
and eliminates the steep grades and
sharp turns of Picket Corral hill. 1t
leaves the old road near Frozen Dog
ranch, running in a northeastern
direction, and crosses the range of
hills with grade of not to exceed 8
per cent in the steepest place.
The old road, from the point where
the new road joins it, to Montour has
also been greatly improved, especially
the dangerous section through Shell
Rock canyon.

CHERRY HARVEST
MONDAY
Eight Full Carloads to be Shipped
Apples $50 Ton.

The big, luscious Bing cherries, fol
which the Emmett country is famous
will be ready for the pickers next
week. j. R. Field will start picking
Monday morning with crew of 60
to 70 people. The entire Field or
chard, with an output of seven car
loads, has been sold to the Emmett
Fruit Growers Association and will
be packed by that concern. They will
also handle half carload from the R.
B. Shaw orchard and half carload
from the Hall orchard. The Field or
chard will pick a carload every two
days. The Royal AIMS will not be
ripe until about the next week.
The Flagler orchard is picking cher
ries and marketing them locally and in
neighboring towns, transporting them
in trucks
While the robbing of cherry or
chards is much less this year than
ever before, some people still are
guilty of that crime. The protective
association organized a few years
ago for mutual protection is still ac-
tive and will prosecute to the full
extent of the law any who make a
practice of this form of larceny. So
beware.

tion and that embraces one of the
richest farming communities in the
state. Failure to build the dam will
drive hundreds Of farmers from their
homes.
Relying on the announcement that
the dam would be built, farmers on a
big tract near Emmett have not kept
up the irrigation system supplying
their lands. The system has broken
down and will not suffice for another
year. The dam must be built to get
water to this tract
Every effort should be made to have
the reclamation service find way to
build the dam. If this cannot be done,
state and private resources must be
modified for the big task. The stu
alton is challenge to all who are in
terested in the unchecked development
of Idaho.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME

Out by Flames.

The five-room residence of Sarah
A. Wooley, about mile west of town
together with all the household fur
nishings and practically all the fam
ily's clothing, was completely des-
troyed by fire about II o'clock Mon
day night.
When the fire was discovered by a
neighbor, Mrs. Woolery and the child
rem were fast asleep. They were
aroused by the neighbor and the fire
had made so much headway that they
were not able to even dress. Three
trunks containing clothing and few
valuables were all that it was possi-
BILE to remove from the building. Half
an hour was required before the opera
tor at the central telephone office
could be aroused and an alarm given.
The chemical engine was taken out,
but when it arrived the entire build
ing was a mass Of flames.
The loss is about S3000 The build
ing was insured for $500. The prop
erty was owned by Mrs. WOoiery and
was gift from her two older sons
There are seven children in the fam
lily. The whereabouts of the hus-
band, who is cripple, is not known
The cause of the fire is believed to
nave been defective electric wiring,
as there had been no fire in the stove
since morning.
