May Ship Idaho Fruit by Water.

Discussions on the feasibility of
shipping Idaho fruits by water to
eastern and European points waE the
chief topic of interest of the traffic
board of control. 1t has been de-
cided to take definite action in as
Gertaining the policies of the water
transportation componies, the space
available and the charges made, ac-
cording to a report from Boise.
On account of the railroad rates
from the inter-mountain country to
eastern cities, it is felt that fruit
shipments might be handled by boat
through the Panama with less ex-
pense. At the present time 20 cars
of wool have been shipped from
Boise by this route. The PROPOSE
ton is a little different with fruits
because they are perishable COM
modities. Test cases have been
made with the various fruits, and
1t has been found that they arrive
in good condition at eastern points.
Prunes and apples are the two
fruits in which we are most inter-
ested. Railroad rates make the
shipment OF these almost phohibi-
tive A grower recently shipped
SAT- cases of prunes to New York.
He sold them at $1.44 per case,
which is considered a fair price. 1t
cost the grower 1927 to get these
shipments to market. The total
profit amounted to $605. Under the
old rate it would have amounted to
$271O showing a decrease of $2105.
With this slight profit, rail ship
ments have been found too expen-
sive. The same is true with apples.
It costs / ga cents to ship but one
of the largest sized apples grown in
Idaho to New York.

Newspaper Man Appointed Prison
Warden.

William J. Biddle, managing edi-
tor of the Leavenworth Times, on
June /, will step into office as the
warden of the United States peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth, succeeding A.
V. Anderson.
The huge prison standing near
the Missouri river below Leayen-
worth has long held strange an
terest for Mr.. Biddle. AS a boy OF
1S he came to Kansas from Pennsy-
lyania in 1879, years before the
different times, he served as city
prison was built. For 35 years at
editor of the Times here, and he
grew to know intimately many of
the problems of those who toiled
within the prison walls in paying
the penalty of the law for federal
olfenses.
There have been four wardens at
Leavensworth penitentiary. The
first was j. w. French, who served
four years. Major r. w. Nc
Claughry served IA years. Thomas
w. Morgan served five years, and A.
V. Anderson has held the position
two years.
The new warden, with his know
ledge of prison affairs, his training
and experience, his friends say, will
make a worthy successor to those
who have had charge of the prison
and his appointment has received
many endorsements.

Girl Scouts.

Sunday morning early the Girl
Scouts started on their first hike,
equipped with lunches, cameras and
drinking water, twelve girls, their
captain and thrfe small scout boys
also well equipped for the journey,
made up the party that trailed
through the canyon, over boulders,
and across the ripping streams, for
about three miles where they stop
ped at eight o'clock and made
camp fire and prepared breakfast
Again onward they trailed, up the
canyon, to a quiet, peaceful, sunny
valley, carpeted with grass and blue
and pink and yellow flowers. At ten
o'clock the girls held their Sunday
school services, and all opened their
kits and ate again, The main fea-
ture of the day was eating, and was
continuous from the time of starting
up to and including the time of re-
turning.
A pleasant time was enjoyed in
the boat on the reservoir and four
of the most venturesome ones a
boating went, and if the boat had
have been stronger the journey
would have been longer Some of
the girls enjoyed a wade in the cool
streams
Two of the girls, Marion and Dora

Culebra Hermosa has passed away
and her earthly remains laid among
the rocks and sand at the foot of the
cliff, where the laughing waves
dance and sing at high tide. The
christening services were witnessed
by perhaps the largest number Of
interested spectators that has been
present on such an occasion fol
many year. 1t took place at high
noon. She passed away a short while
afterward and no doubt suffered
greatly in the last moments, as ston'
ing was the cause of her passing al
a time when her temporal abode
was yet in the prime of life. Guile.

Jesse M. Campbell Dead.
Contributed

Another sterling pioneer has pas
sed the great divide. The communi-
ty was shocked Monday morning up
on receiving word that Jesse M.
Campbell was dead.
Neither friends or relatives knew
that he was in i'll health.
Jesse M. Campbell was born in
Nevada in the early sixties and came
to Idaho in his seventeenth year; he
knew the hardships of pioneer life.
His life was spent in mining, stock
raising, and ranching; he lived in
Elmore county for the past thirty
years.
Upon coming to Idaho, Jesse vol
unteered in Indian war service, and
assumed the duty of a messenger
boy; he faced the peril Of Indian
warfare; and, as such messenger
boy, successfully eluded the pursuit
of the cunning of the red men.
He volunteered his services, in
the great worlds war, to Uncle Sam,
in any capacity that Uncle Sam
might choose to use his services,
however, his age and physical de-
fects caused Uncle Sam to direct
that Jesse still remain at his post
of duty, as a civilian, that his serv-
ices help maintain the boys at the
front.
This Jesse M. Campbell did the
turned over to Uncle Sam partically
all of the results from his hard
earned toll; and his greatest regret
was that he did not have many
hands the result from the toll of
which he could turn over to Uncle
Sam for and in defense of his coun-
try. Jesse M. Campbell was quiet,
sober. unassuming, honest and gem
erous character
No more telling tribute of his
sterling character, and unassuming
generosity is found, than in the
fact that upon the death of her
father C. r. Rohrer, some years
since. Mr.. Campbell, assumed the
Stain to Miss Minnie Rohrer as
foster parent, contributing literally
TO such childs support and main
flamenco through high school, and
promising her sufficient money
through which she might defray her
expenses through college.
Jesse N. Campbell never attached
himself to any church or lodge, his
lodge was the great brotherhood OF
mankind. his church or creed was
doing right, because it was right,
which is the pure creed of so many
western men.
A sister in Los Angeles, nephew
in Ogden. and a niece, Mrs. Celesta
Robrer here, are his nearest rela,
tives; though there are many
among us who will miss his face
his voice and his cheerfulness.
The floral offerings and the many
friends present at the funeral ser.
vice bespoke the esteem with which
he was held.

That the state highway department.
has a sufficient number of automo-

every application received up to
June IS and that car owners must
make application Immediately or be
guilty of evading the law, is the
statement OF John Chenoweth, chief

way department, made in letter
Just received by County Clerk Cloud.
I'VE expect to have all tags for
which applications have been made
distributed by July H. the chief en-
forcement officer states in the letter.
The county commissioners have
been requested by tho commissioner
of highways to designate two re-
liable men from this county to be
appointed as special enforcement Of
ficers and to serve without pay from
the highway department. No action
on this request has been taken by
the board, according to County Clerk
Cloud. The letters from B. E. Clark,
commissioner of highways, follows:
"On account of INADEQUATE expenses
for enforcement officers and the ex-
tremely short time left in 1921 for
the collection of approximately one
hundred thousand automobile license
fees, am going to ask for your aid
and close cooperation in an efficient
and impartial enforcement campaign.
"My plan would be for the county
commissioners to designate two re-
liable men from their county to be
appointed as special enforcement of
ficers' and to serve without pay from
the highway department. Our en-
forcement officers could then CO.
operate with these local men and in
short time the fees would be col
lected and the counties receive their
share of money back for use on their
roads.
"As expect to have all back auto
tags out by July 1, am very anxious
that you should taka some action on
this matter at your earliest possible
convenience.

II Is believed that both factions
will be ready to notify Lloyd George
by the middle OF the week what
they intend to do with regard to
his invitation.
The invitation of the English pre-.

reached Sir James Craig by courier
Sunday morning. simultaneously with
the Sunday newspapers commenting
on the letter. Sir James replied i'm.

George that he was summoning a

the attendance of all the members.

Sunday Sir James was in confer

general feeling in Belfast is that the
Ulster men will demand that the
terms to be discussed at the pro-
posed conference shall be strictly
limited especially excluding the sub
ject of a republic.
