POTATOESFROM
MINNESOTA CO
New Competition for
Idaho Is Now In
Field.

Minnesota has begun shipping her
potato crop in earnest, according to
the Monday crop marketing report is
sued daily by the federal bureau of
markets locally by c. E. Shultz. Sun
days shipment, the latest upon which
figures are available, totalled ITO cars
from Minnesota. Proximity to the
Chicago market and big crop in that
state has added to the uncertainty
among Idaho producers. The Mime
sofa movement, according to present
indications, has begun and within a
few days will reach its crest and con-
tinue for some time. Until Friday
but few Minnesota potatoes had been
shipped. North Dakota and other
northern districts are expected to fur-
Their complicate the marketing situation
in few days as potatoes from these
districts follow rapidly on the heels
of the Minnesota crop movement
For the first time this season, Idaho
potatoes are reaching Chicago in APP
preciable quantities. Lured there by
the slight strengthening of the Chicago
markets Friday and Saturday, many
cars of Idaho stuff were diverted to
the Chicago markets. Monday the
price declined somewhat, sales Of
Idaho's being quoted at $l.70.
Thus far, New Jersey potatoes, cor.
responding closely in quality to the
Idaho product, have been selling in
Chicago at a premium of from 10 tc
20 cents over the Idaho stuff. This
it is believed, is due to the fact thai
New Jersey potatoes, more fully ma
tured than are Idaho's, are shipped
under ventilation and not under ice ant
consequently may be held several day
without loss or deterioration.

Radio Concert Tonight.
First Public Performance at the
American Theatre.

The first public radio concert to be
given in Caldwell will entertain the
constantly growing number of radio
fans at the American theatre Tuesday
evening. After months of delay owing
to the inability of manufacturing con-
Germs to keep abreast of the huge de-
mand for radio appliances, Fordyce
Newell and those associated with him
in this only, as yet, Caldwell COM
mercial radio venture, have practically
completed their receiving plant and
are ready to entertain.
Bagley's orchestra, a Caldwell mus
ical organization, will broadcast from
the Boise station Tuesday evening
and it is proposed to tune in on this
program. In practice, the big set al
the American theatre has been enter
tanning a small coterie of radio fans
for some time with scraps from al
over the west. Conversations OF
Catalina Island, off southern Calfor
MIA, for some reason seem to be easil,
picked up here.
Another radio outfit has been in
stalled in Caldwell this summer, Co
operating with the schools and tn
graduating class of last spring VIII
left senior class play funds for tina
purpose, f. Vining has installed
set in the high school auditorium. A
5 vet, however, the power ampliher, re
, ouired to make waves audible fo
: hearers without wearing special r.

: been limited in number. This instr
: ment is now here, however and W

Salmon are Planted
In Payette Lake.
Land Locked Game Fish,
Hard to Otain, Now
Here.

PAYETTE LAKE-After long and
persistent efforts Payette Lake is now
stocked with the finest game of the
American continent-the landlocked
salmon. Friday night Deputy Game
Warden Welker and Deputies ]. E.
Clark and Abe Whitehead OF Hay Spur
hatchery delivered 5000 fngerlings of
landlocked salmon, and B. T. john
son and others took them to Dead
horse creek and planted them near
where that creek empties into Pay
cite Lake.
The landlocked salmon is the most
difficult of all fish stock to obtain.
This stock is produced in restricted
district in Maine, and they hate like
sin to let any of it get away from there
However, through the request OF
bunch of Congressman and the effic-
| lent cooperation of State Game
Warden Jones, 5000 eyed eggs were
procured last February from the gov
eminent hatchery at Green Lake
Maine. They were shipped to the
state hatchery at Hay spur for hatch
ing, and it is said that only sever
of the eggs failed to hatch-a won
derful record. The hngerlings wer
planted here without the loss OF
single one-another wonderful record
In addition to the State Game DE
partment, the people of Mccall wan
to thank the Washington Count
Rod and Gun Club Of Weiser and tn
Emmett Sportsman's Club for thei
valuable assistance in procuring TIL
t fish, which in few years will max
Payette Lakes one of the noted ans
5 ller's resorts of the nation.
: Nineteen cans of rainbow tro'
r from Hay Spur state hatchery ais
: came up with the landlocked SALINE
: and were planted in the streams en-
S plying into the lake.

YOUTHS ENGAGE
IN NIGHT WORK
Hire Nanpa Car, Rob
Driver and Finally
Make Escape.

Two youths late Saturday night
hired Nampa taxi to bring them to
Caldwell, held up the driver on the
highway, stopped at the Mowrey Ser
vice station in Caldwell and were talk
ed out of breaking open the safe, stop
ped long enough here to get suitcases,
supposed to contain change of raj
ment, started back to Nampa, ditched
the car enroute and escaped.
Employing the car for the nine mile
drive to Caldwell, the two men oc-
cupied the rear seat. Half way to
their destination, they stopped the ma
chine on some pretext and one of the
men got out of the car, walked up to
the driver, stuck gun in his ribs
and proceeded to take about So in cur
rency from him. They then ordered
the driver to continue his way to Cald-
we'll On Cleveland and Ninth streets,
the party stopped long enough to at
tempt the robbery of the Mowrey serv-
ice station. Mr.. Mowrey plead with
the burglars, telling them that the safe
was locked-as it was-and that he
could not open it. They threatened
his life and Mr.. Mowrey, by dint of
verbal accomplishments, talked them
out of that. They finally departed
without pressing the matter but warn,
ing Mr.. Mowrey that to inform the
police was to court certain death. Mr.
Mowrey obeyed instructions and wen
to bed without reporting the attempted
holdup.
From the service station the two met
came down town, stopped the driver
long enough to get couple of suit
cases they had cached here and ther
began their return journey to Nampa
Enroute they once more stopped thu
driver and left the machine.
Not until he arrived in Nampa, be
cause of the late hour, uncertaint,
of arousing anyone and difficulty il
obtaining telephone connections at tina
hour, did the taxi driver report the at
fair to officers. 1t was some time be
fore the sheriff's office here was in
formed and search for the men be
gun. They had evidently used tn
time to good advantage, despite tn
fact that no trains had passed in tn
: interim and had made good their gel
: away. At late hour Monday no fur
Their trace had been obtained of tn
youths.
The work was of such an amateur
ish nature and the two men Shove
:. enough familiarity with this territoi
that the officers are working on ii
supposition that both are local youn
men.

WEATHER PU is
CROP IN DANGER
Head Lettuce Suffers
Under Sweltering
August Sun.

Continued extreme hot weather may
play havoc with this seasons crop of
head lettuce, according to reports
reaching the Canyon county farm
bureau office. Already, because of the
abnormal growth the crop has made,
there is acute danger of too early ma
turity. In eastern Idaho where high
err attitudes indicated earlier planting,
farmers already stand to lose quarter
of million dollars on their lettuce
crop prospects. The heat, wave, strik-
ing that district early last week, turn
ed the lettuce bad and very little of the
promising crop will be marketed.
Slime in the center of the heads is the
direct result of the heat wave.
Unforeseen rapid development of the
crop in this region lends seriousness to
the situation, According to George
F. Prince, field representative for the
California Vegetable Union, south
western Idaho this year has broken
all records in the rapid development
of the crop. Mr.. Prince, who had had
80 years experience in the business
says that never has he seen such mar
velous crop growth. In the Imperia
Valley from 90 to 100 days are re.
quired to mature head lettuce. Ii
Idaho already, within 80 days, head:
are beginning to form and producer.
report plants with diameter of hv'
inches in this short time.
Too rapid growth threatens the crol
because it may start heading befor
cooler weather begins. And head let
tuce, to make a good crop of higl
quality stuff must be matured durinl
cool weather.
Already, by virtue of its rapi
growth this season, the head lettuce
bordering on the danger point. An
the few extremely hot days of las
weekend are reported to have adde
materially to the danger of heavy los
Unusually good growing weathe
. the extreme care with which farmer
81 this year handled the head lettuce Gro
and the fertility of the soil are give
as reasons combining to develop tn
crop more rapidly than was expecte
and wished.

RETURNS HOME
" I H ODDITIES
"Bill" Hawkes. has Fine
Collection of Near
East Curios.

William "Bill' Hawkes., home after
four years of service in Asia Minor
with the Near East Relief brought
with him one Of the most interesting
collections of trinkets, odds and oddi-
ties, curios and articles of sentimental
and tangible value from that far sec
tor of the world that has come to
Caldwell.
Mr.. Hawkes. returned last Thursday
evening. Since that time a constant
stream of interested persons has visited
the home of his father, the Rev. w.
S. Hawkes. on East Main, paving over
and delighting in the large collection
of things which Mr.. Hawkes. brought
home with him.
Enroute to the United States, Mr..
Hawkes. stopped long. enough in OBJ
erammergau in Upper Bavaria to sec
the world famed Passion Play. He had
the good fortune to be quartered in the
home of the man who acts the part of
PLATE in the play. From him, Mr..
Hawkes. purchased for the trifling sum
of ST. so in American currency carv-
ing of Christs appearance before Pill
ate, worked out in detail on piece OF
birch wood about four inches wide and
foot long. The piece is marvel OF
accuracy in relief despite its small size
and is among the most priced of Mr.
Hawkes. possessions.
Russion silver, from the tables Of
former arristocratic Russian families
and, in the Russian turmoil, thrown
onto Constantinople markets for al
most nothing, are among the finel
pieces of the collection. Turkish gar
ments for men and women of the bet
ter class, jade and amber beads, ant
numerous other small pieces of jewelr!
are included.
Two of the most interesting OF TIL
articles in the collection are models o
ahe primitive plow and the typical Nea
East wagon that were made for MI
Hawkes. by lad of II who wa
studying carpentry in the orphanage I
Sivas where Mr.. Hawkes. was station
ed. Later the lad was drafted into tn
Turkish army, went to post wher
disease and famine were rampan
wrote one letter and is believed
have latter succumbed to the hard
ships inflicted upon him.
Selections from the collection thu
are of general and public interest wi
be presented to the College OF ldah
\ for addition to the college museum.
Mr. Hawkes. will remain in Caldwe
; about month. He is planning no
! to return to Asia Minor and resun
his work there.

Terrihcally hot weather prevailing
over the week end came to what was
believed an abrupt close Monday eve
ming with typical Idaho rainstorm
that blew down shrubs, limbs from
trees and redistributed large portion
of the surface of southwestern Ida

ern type with oppressive nights pre-
vailed Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Caldwell fire department was
called out Friday morning on a run to
the home of Charles Allen on Blaine

ignited by some person using tina
driveway, was found and few buck

RATE OUTLOOK
IS NOT BRIGHT
COOLING HOLDS
Senator, Working Hard,
Halted by Colorado OPP
position; Situation is not
Good.

WASHINGTON Aug. 2S--Am
advised that application for reduc-
ton Of twenty cents in Idaho po-
tato rates has been received by the
commission. The present differ
entail between the Colorado rates
and the Idaho rates is fourteen
cents. Have been advised that the
commission cannot make a lower
rate than the Colorado rate. un-
derstand the Colorado carriers
have been asked to reduce their
rate so as to permit the commits
sion to accept the rates asked Tor
by the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line. Expecting some de
velopments in the Idaho situation
today and will advise you Of prog
ress in this matter so important
to Idaho. Nothing will be left
undone about the reduction Of
twenty cents asked for
F. r. GOODING
This telegram to r. 7. HURT, secre-
tary of the Commercial club of the
Union Pacific for reduced rates on
Idaho potatoes until September So
kilograms received Saturday from
other members OF the Idaho congress
sional delegation by A. A. Binford
gave the first mixing here OF opposi-
ton that Monday threatened to stop
all possibility of obtaining the reduced
rate, at least, in time to be of any
benefit.
Senator Borah, in his telegram,
pointed out that before the arrival In
Washington of the Union Pacific's
formal application for an emergency
rate reduction on potatoes from Idaho,
California and Colorado had protested
granting the rate. Senator Borah said
that he was bending his efforts toward
having the interstate commerce COM
mission grant the Idaho application
and hold hearings on the protests at
terward. According to Senator Bor-
abs wire, it will be January l, in the
normal routine Of business, before the
interstate commerce commission will
be in a position to hear the protests
and act upon the Union Pacific appH-
cation.
Locally, the opinion prevails that if
the emergency rate is ever granted in
time to be of benefit to Idaho, quick
work, coupled with unexpected devei-
opments in the situation, must occur
within a few days. According to SEN
ator Gooding's telegram, application
has been made to Colorado growers
for a special rate to place Colorado
growers on a par with idaho produc'
ers. This, it is generally believed, will
require week or 10 days and possibly
longer even should Colorado carrier:
be inclined to grant the application,
Other states, it is argued, may fol
low Colorado's lead and the situation
become so hopelessly tangled that re
lief in a reasonable time will be i'm
: possible Already Utah is fighting, no
: alone for reduced rates on potatoes
t but also on fruit From Senate
:. Gooding's telegram, it is evident tina
n the interstate commerce commission
= cannot grant the Union Pacific appli
: caion in the. face of opposition fror
e other states without first going to tn
It formality of a hearing on the entir
y subject.

OLD BOAT NOW POWER PLANT
Former Mississippi River Steamer
Seems to Have by No Means Out
lived Its Usefulness.

One of the survivors of the days
made famous by Mark Twain's life
on the Mississippi" the steamboat An
drew Paddock, is now serving as a
power plant at New Orleans. Perched
high in the air on stills, smoke still
belches forth in black masses from its
tall stacks, but the stern wheel that
once churned the murky waters of the
river Is mOtionless.
The captain and crew of the ANDY"
as 1t was affectionately termed by the
negro roustabouts, were transferred to
other boats, and the crew now consists
of two firemen, each of whom is adj
dressed joculary as captain" The
numerous passing craft invariably
blow their sirens in salute, and old
ANDY" always replies vigorously from
it's position just beyond the waters
edge.

MO LESS than the navy men, the
army men are exercised over the
tendency toward what they believe to
be false and dangerous economy
shown by many members Of congress.
The house passed an army appropra-
ton bill which limits the army to 49,
900 enlisted men and 10000 officers.
General PershIng, chief of staff, and
General Hartford, deputy chief, assert
ed such a reduction "would introduce
an unwarranted element Of danger In
our plan Of national defense" and that
an army Of 10000 men and 1900
officers is absolutely essential to the
nations needs at this time At first
the bin carried a provision limiting
the Presidents right to determine the
size Of garrisons in the Hawaiian is
lands and the Panama Canal Zone.
This was eliminated when Anthony Of
Kansas said he had the promise Of
the War department to reduce those
garrsons, but Secretary Weeks indig-
nantly declared that he not only had
made no such promise but had no in
tentiOn of making the reductions.
General Pershlng says the Hawaii and
Panama garris1us cannot be cut down
without violating the sOundest rrlnci-
pies of security

"What is the term used in referring
to three babies born at the same

"They are triplets," she replied.
"How do you refer to four babies?'
another asked.
-Four babies are called quadru-
