his wife.
Chief Smith reports that the confer

were in session from August to IS.
Demonstration of firefighting,
methods of combating various kinds
of blazes and other work of firemen
were put on by the San Francisco fire
department which was organized to
care for the visiting fire chiefs.
In addition to the regular business
of the conferences, at which things
pertinent to the vocation of firemen
were discussed from practically every
angle, the visitors were royalty enter
tanned by the citizens of the city who
did everything possible to make their
stay there comfortable. and memoir
able.
Excursions over the country, trips
to some especial plant and numerous
other events were planned to enter
tain the fire chiefs. The city of San
Francisco set aside the sum of $780,
900 for the express purpose of pro-
viding entertainment for the confer
rees.
One especially memorable trip, said
Mr.. Smith, was that taken to one Of
the refinery plants of the Standard
Oil company which, after demOnStrat-
ing to the eight hundred who attend
ed the various ways Of combating oil
fires, gave a delightful dinner at it's
dining hall which was filled to about
one third capacity.
At the International conference.
representatives. from every part of
the world assembled at the sessions
and took an active part in the meet
ings. Chinese, Japanese, Frenchmen.
Hawaiians and many other fireign-
ers discussed the subjects of inter
est to fire-fighters.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith report that they
enjoyed their overland trip immensely.
Going down they took the direct route,
ferrying across the bay to San Fran
cisco. But the return trip was made
via Sacramento, Stockton and other
places. The scenery along the way
was grand, according to Mr.. Smith,
and they experienced delightful
journey with the minimum amount of
tire and other trouble.

quick to express his satisfaction at
the nomination of the Hon. Vim. E
Lee as justice of the supreme court
by the republican state convention at
Wallace.
cit is a great pleasure to me-" said
Judge Steele, "to know that the state
convention nominated Mr.. Lee for JUS
tice of the supreme court. He is a
man about forty years of age, is a
student of law, has judicial temper
ament and in my judgment will make
an admirable justice of the supreme
court.
''He is truly Latah county man and
is loyal to the interests of our great
state. 1t was here in Moscow that
he attended the state university and
graduated therefrom. 1t was from
here that he went to the Columbia
Law school at Washington, D. c.,
where he also graduated, and also
from here that he rendered his serv-
ices to the government during the
late war, leaving his family and his
practice for two years, and when the
armistice was declared, he at one re-
signed and returned to Moscow and
has been practicing law here ever
since.
For more than fifteen years. he
has practiced law in the court over
which l preside, and in the other state
courts of the United States court.
sT hope and expect to see him get
a large majority. He has practiced
expect to see him elected as justic
of the supreme court of the state by
a large mapority. He has practiced
before me for the last fifteen years
and is at the proper age to enter upon
a life of service to the public in the
position to which he aspries."

EVERYBODY IS EATING
Them WATERMELONS

They are hauling them home, carry
ing them home, rolling them home
in fact anyway to get them home. Big
long boys, small round ones, red
hearted ones, yellow hearted ones
All luscious and dirt cheap. Water
melons are the order Of the day, judg-
ing from the purchasing that is being
made of them.
On the local market melons, the de-
licious Juliaetta variety, are selling
for anywhere from three-fourths of
cent a pound upwards. And Gus
toners have been making raid on the
supply today that would make rev.
enue raid on a moonshine still sink
into insignificance in comparison.
They are simply buying melons by
the dozens. FN
And what heart balm it must be
to the lad with limited means. With
but few pennies in his pocket he
can walk into the store and demand
good sized melon for Is cents to
25 cents and then walk up the street
with the air Of king as he totes
his prize into the alley where the gang
is waiting or takes it home for fu-
ture consumption
The landslide in prices that has TAX
en- place this week end in the local
melon market Is attributed 20 TWO
causes, say local dealers. The first is
the fact that transportation facilities
are not available for the movement of
the crop to other markets and the
second Is the price cutting" war that
the growers are indu1ging
Which of the two causes is the more
potent is difficult to say, but the fact
remains that melons have slumped.
cantaloupes are selling at five cents
each, musk melons at two cents
pound and water melons from 34
cents a pound up.
Heretofore, melon at breakfast time
has been considered a luxury of the
idle rich almost, but now every break
fast table can boast Of at least one
variety and maybe more. And the
people are equal to the occasion. The
melons are available and the demand
is good.

PALOUSERS Defeat
Elk ring TOSSERS
HORSESHOE COURTS SCENE OF
LOCAL TOURNAMENT
FRIDAY

The smoke of the battle has cleared
away and the Palousers have added a
scalp to their belt and the Elks a
word to their distionary, according to
the results of the horseshoe tourna-
ment played on the local courts yes
terday afternoon. The score was
1117 for the Palousers and 500 for the
Elks.
Connie Estes, Palouser, was high
point man for the day winning first
honors with IT'S points and So ringers
to his credit. w. e. Snowden took
second place with 167 points and 43
ringers, Charles Blanchard was third
with 154 points and 80 ringers. Mar
tin Mickey was fourth with 142 points
and "a ringers.
High honors on the Elks' team went
to Harold Collins, who made 1873
points and threw "a ringers, Clayton
WeStOver was second in the team with
1872 points and "a ringers
A feature of the game was one set
of ordinary none too-well- mated
horseshoes which were picked up at
local blacksmith shop to fill out the
sets needed for the tournament. Each
man had an opportunity of pitching
one set with the shoes and the scores
resulting from the use of the irregu-
lar shoes were highly detrimental to
the best of players.
The dope sheet was entirely upset
when Connie Estes, lad who Just
Joined the Idaho State Horseshoe
Pitching association, stepped into the
contest and garnered in first honors.
He demonstrated exceptional ability
at finding the peg in the most salts
factory manner and will be strong
contender for the first team that is
being selected from the local players.
A total of 396 ringers were tossed by
all players in the tourney. The Pa
lousers claimed 24S of these and the
Elks were heir to 14S. The men
pitching ringers lined up: Estes, 81;
Snowden, 43; Collins, "a; Mickey "a;
K. Collins, 33; Brooks, 81; Blanchard,
so. The remainder dropped as low
as seven.
Eight games of ten frames each
were played. Every man from one
team had the opportunity of testing
every man from the opposing lineup.
Numbers were chosen by the Elks
from 1 to inclusive and by the Pa
lousers from to 16 inclusive. Every
set was played according to sched-
uIe prearranged
The regulation game was played.
Every ringer counted three points and
other closest shoes, provided they
were not more than six inches distant
from the peg, counted one. A ringer
over the opponents ringer annulled
both.
