SPEAKING OF INCUBAToRs.

j. e. Long, a farmer living near
Nampa, signed what he supposed was
a memorandum to consider the pur-
chase of shares of stock in an Sincu-
bator proposition, and the paper later
turned up at the bank as note for
several hundred dollars. He now
sues J. L. Nungester for the amount,
claiming money was secured under
false nretenses. 1t is usual that a
get-rieh-quick proposition is short
lived but on the theory that a new
sucker is born yerey minute the Nun
gesters seem to be ready and waiting
for the new crop.
Perhaps the modus operandi of the
campaign carried on in Meridian a
few years ago will never be fully ex-
planned, but it has been stated from
an authoritative source that the big
blocks OF stock owned by certain In
fluential eopIe never cost the hon
ored ones u cent, and was used as an
advertising propaganda to boom the
sale to tie little fellows who bought
stock in amounts of $50 to $500.

SOME POTATOES.

Southwestern Idaho has between
8, 900 and 10000 acres in potatoes
this year. The crop for Idaho is
nine million bushels or two million
more than last year. Idaho potatoes
sold Tuesday at Caldwell and Nampa
at $2.35 to $2.55 per 100 pounds.
This unexpected good price results
from a storage in the potato crop In
the United States caused by the un-
usual dry and hot weather. The
Minnesota and Wisconsin crop has
been reduced third over the esti-
mate OF month ago.
Last year Idaho shippers sent out
1900 cars of potatoes and this year
the amount will be even more. Grow
ers say that with the high prices OF
this year they will make good, but
two things are necessary for a con
linuence of the industry: first, the
railroads to make favorable ship.
ping rate, and seed shipped in from
the oustside must be used as they
yield twice the tonnage. The besl
seed for the southern Idaho growers
comes from north Idaho and the up
per Snake river valley.

WHERE EMERGENCY FUEL
WILL COME FROM

There is considerable speculation
as to the fuel supply for the Merid-
ian country in case of coal famine
next winter. There seems to be no
assurance from the Boise-Payette
company that there will be any SLAB
wood for sale in this vicinity this fall
and winter. There are two reasons
assigned for this, one is that the mills
are not running full time, and anoth-
er is, that as lumber is getting more
scarce, the smaller pieces are used in
various ways, and the latest is re-
lport that there is demand from the
1 palp mills for the slab wood and for
leven the saw dust.
Cord wood can be secured from the
upperPayette, but one man who was
| figuring on shipping some in, found
that the railroad rate would compel
him to sell the wood at about $12 a
cord
AS no coal has been stored, against
80 cars at this time last year, a sol
ution seems to be for each home
owner TO lay in two tons or more OF
coal while the getting is good.

SENSATIONAL ARREST
FOR BOOTLEGGING

Wednesday night Joe McAllister
was arrested by revenue agent from
Boise on the charge of bootiegging,
The arrest was rather sensational.
Joe was approached by a "hayseed'
and influenced to furnish the inno-
cent-looking fellow with something
with a kick in it. When the bottle
was handed the officer. Joe was told
he was under arrest. These words
were no more than spoken when joe
made it hot-foot down the street. The
officer followed and shot four times
which only made Joe run the faster.
AS the bullets were aimed at the
ground no harm was done. This all
happened aat about 10 o'clock. The
Young man was followed to his room
and arrested, and was then taken 20
Boise.
What will make it hard for Meal
lister Is that this is not the first time
that LIQUOR has been found in his pos
session. There Is a rnmor, however
that there will be more activity Oh
the part of the officers to find the
persons who are manufacturing the
wet goods.
