 "There is a certain modification to this would in case it would jeopardise any other lead or shipment, then we would not allow it. Suppose we had car, just liking 25 crates at 8 o'clock p, m., John Doe was offered 25 cents more than we apparently could get him, but to let him sell outside would cause us to have to hold the car over until next day, which would cause loss to the loading shipment, then we would hold him to the association shipment. His crates would just fill the car and let it roll, to do otherwise would entail loss to other shippers. We not be- ing able to get the twenty-five crates otherwise.
 Grading and Packing.
 we used in 1920 professional grad CTS and packers and used centralized shipping and packing shed insuring a uniformity in our grades and packs, so when we wire a consignee, now have a car number one grade and pack of anything we can back it up for we are bonding out packer contractor and he must use only professional men and is responsible for them. Here before we have used farmers grade and pack and they would try to run in all kinds of culls, both as to size, packing and quality. We'll, the man at the far end of the trarnrsaction gets the last whack at it, and he will not pay as much. Uniformity in grade and baking is our motto" We use the incest label for our crates that have ever come over the track Which would you buy. A can of anything unlabeled or one lab eled? You would pay five cents more to know what you were getting, and the same applies to cantaloupes, toma- toes, etc.

Curios of Bygone Days

Frank Knox has added to his col
lection of curios at the Pastime Cigar
store four-barreled revolver, or
"pepperbox" as they were called. 1t
was found by a son of Engineer John
son of the Boise -Payette mill, while
blowing in his land near the mill.
The gun is in good condition. 1t is
a 32-calibre and mas four barrels.
The firing pin revolves each time the
trigger is brought back. 1t is about
the size of ? small % revolver The
gun was made in 1859 by G. Sharpe
& Co., and from all appearances had
laid in the ground for rs or 80 years.
Another curio added to Mr.. Knox's
collection is a sheet of white wood
fibre, having the appearance of a
lambskin. 1t is about II inches wide
and about Is inches long and was tax
en- from the inside of slab of wood
by John Davies while chopping up
mill slabs for kindling.

BRIDGE BOND ISSUE
NECESSARY
Emmett and Letha Bridges and
Flood Damage Require an
Outlay of $4,000.

The board of county commissioners
will meet September 5 to consider
the issuance of county bonds in the
amount of between $4,000 and $751;
900 for bridge building, bridge re-
pairing and flood damage.
There are two bridge projects that
will require an outlay of approx
mately $4,000. A bridge on Squaw
creek and damage caused by the high
water last spring will swell this
amount. A new bridge at Emmett
and the addition of another span to
the Letha bridge to span the new
channel cut by the river during the
flood are imperative. The county
board has been racking their brains
to find some way to. raise the requir-
ed funds without a bond issue, but
cannot do so without making burden
some tax. The Emmett bridge will
cost approximately $4,000. There
is due from the state road fund ST.
900, which can be used for this pur-
pose, but as the state has been un-
able to sell its highway bonds, it is
probable the county will have to use
its own funds until the state bonds
are sold.

The Bs covered themselves with
glory; so did the LIS. Pitcher Horton
had the Lumberjacks at his mercy,
and Catcher Ed Mays held 'em even
though the balls burned off the end
of his thumb. In base running, Frank
Bowen had 'em all beaten until he
stubbed his toe and cracked the ground
wide open In the vicinity of third base

batters, with Kelly Cammerer close

ball had to be packed in ice, and Bob
Burlingame handled 'em with ashes
tos gloves. Hans Hansen created a
sensation by batting with the seat of
his pants facing the plate, and Andy
Colvin made faux pas, as the French
would say, by trying to jump the claim
of John Sundberg to second.
Oh, it was humdinger of game,
and the victorious BIS went home sore
but satisfied, as the old maid said.

Peaches are Ripening

Picking of peaches will be in pro-
gress within the next two weeks
The Elbertas are already highly col
ored and the trees present brilliant
picture. The yield, however, is quite
small this year and will just about
supply the home trade. Ike Wom-
ack figures on about 100 bushels from
his orchard, and he is advertising
them at So per bushel. Because of
the limited number on the trees, the
peaches are large. Mr.. Womack ex-
poets to begin filling orders next
week. During the spring frosts, he
burned straw covered with wet ma
nure, thus producing thick smudge
of smoke, which he is sure protected
the trees. Those trees which were
not smudged are barren.
