EGG BUSINESS
SHOWS GROWTH
Receipts Last Week Are
Double 1922 Figure,
Manager Says.

Weekly receipts OF eggs at the To-
cal branch OF the Pacific Co-opera-
tive Poultry producers has almost
doubled in the past year. according
TO announcement made Monday by
Geo. Durant, Caldwell branch manager
One year ago, 368 cases were receiv-
ed at the local station. Last week, re-
ceipts totalled exactly 600 cases.
Prices have been off the past two
weeks Mf Durant reports. As re-
suit, eggs have been stored awaiting
a strengthened market AT present, the
local station has 1000 cases in storage
in Caldwell. Already these eggs have
increased in market value 4S cents
per case while cost OF storage has
been IS cents. Additional increase in
market quotations is expected to bet
ter this showing.
Prospects are bright for liberal fall
eggs. Mr.. Durant says. Many splendid
flocks OF young birds are in evidence
over this territory. some OF them al
ready three months old. Such flooks
of pullets will begin producing late
in August and will continue through
the high price markets of the autumn
and early winter.
81 believe we will be able to make
shipments to New York this fall, Mr..
Durant said Monday II we do. you
watch for the biggest boost that the
egg producing business ever had in
this territory.
81 certainly hope that something
comes OF this agitation for local
poultry feeding plant. There certainly
is room here for such concern, he
concluded.
Mr.. Durant last week passed the
first yearly milestone OF his job as
local manager.

New Highway Will
Open Mine Region
Road Promises to I'm
cover Great Wealth
for Idaho.
Especial to The Tribunel.

Boise, June lS.-A good road con-
structed up the South Fork of the
Clearwater river would open one OF
the greatest gold mining districts of
the west is the opinion of Stewart
Campbell. state mining Inspector. who
returned recently from an official
study of the mines in northern Idaho.
There is more mining activity in
north Idaho. according to Mr. Camp
bell. than there has been for several
years. Miners and common laborers
are scarce in that section.
The Elk City mines along the
Clearwater have made several OF the
most startling gold discoveries of the
last decade. The two chief properties
there are the Homestead Gold Mining
company and the Center Star group.
The Homestead has by means OF
long tunnel cut a vein to the depth OF
45O feet and exposed a free-milling
gold vein, two to five feet wide, OF
high values. A sten stamp mill will
be in operation there in July.
The Center Star company has re-
Gently re-discovered the vein which
had been lost through faulting and a
high grade vein from six to eight
feet wide has been opened. Mr..
Campbell states that this is the larg-
est exposure of gold rock OF high val
ues in the state of Idaho.
The Dewey mine on Clearwater has
good values but is waiting transpor-
tation. The Jumbo and Crackerjack
the Buffalo Hump district are also
very rich gold properties awaiting the
solving OF transportation.

FIVE MILL TAX
SHOULD NOT BE
OPP0SED,-MEEK
City Attorney p oints
Out Statutes Make
Authorization by Vot-
ers Necessary.

No opposition should develop il
Caldwell to the proposal to vote al
additional five mill tax levy abov,

quaint themselves with the facts in

pointed out in statement issued Mon.

will vote the five mill levy asked viii

%, at a mass meeting OF Caldwell
voters. Two thirds vote OF those pres
ent is necessary il the five mill levy
is to be voted.
THE 10 mill levy based on the ass
essed valuation OF the property of this
city will raise S27,65l.6s, "Mr. Meek
pointed out. when one stops to con-
slider that this sum will not be suffi-
cient to pay such fixed charges as
salaries of elective officers. maintain
ence OF the fire department, city hall
street lights, cemetery and few of
the most necessary departments of
the city-not even including streets-and
will then go farther and inform them
selves OF the fact that this is a new
law, that no attempt is being made
by this administration to increase
taxes and the cost of city government.
and that as a mater of fact even with
the additional five mills. our city taxes
will be lower than last year. then
cannot see how citizens can refuse to
grant authority to the council TO vote
the added five mill levy.
prior to this year, all cities in Ida
no could make an annual tax levy
for general purposes up to IS mills" :"
Mr.. Meek explained. However. the
last legislature amended the law and
cut the amount from IS to 10 mill
with the provision that should the
city council determine that more than
a 10 mill levy would be required, the
council should call special meeting
OF the qualified voters of the city. Two
thirds OF those present and voting
may authorize the council to levy any
amount not exceeding five mills.
"Caldwell's city council has called
such a meeting. asking for the addi-
tional five mill levy. after careful
survey, the council and mayor decid
ed that the 10 mill levy would not be
sufficient.
Assertions that the five mill levy
asked will kite taxes paid in Caldwell
is not accurate. believe that when
Caldwell citizens understand the sit
nation. they will be glad to authorize
the additional levy.

Lettuce Shipments
Begin in Earnest
Packing Is Under Full
Swing; Quality Is
High.

Head lettuce shipments from Can
yon county will reach their maximum
today when the last packing station
for the spring crop will be opened at
Bowmont by the Idaho Producers
Union. Already two plants are in full
swing in Caldwell. each packing out
about carload day.
Quality is high. much of the stuff
coming being easily of fancy grade,
and cars miss this rating only because
of the limited production and impos-
sib;lity OF maintaining that quality
for the entire car Production for the
Payette- Boise valleys will reach at
least 20 cars for the spring crop. il is
believed. Weather has some bearing
of the probable output. w. T. Mccall
former county agent. believes. In the
event some real hot weather should
suddenly strike this territory, much OF
the lettuce might be ruined before il
could be packed for shipment.
Prices have been faltering some
what the past few days. il is reported.
Washington. the Lewiston district and
other western producing regions are
shipping out considerable lettuce with
the result that the markets have weak

AMERICANS ARE
WEIGHT CARRIERS
More than 200 Million
Pounds of Surplus
Flesh

Washington.-More than 200 mil
lion pounds Of unnecessary and often
dangerous fat is being carried around
by the populace of the United States,
according to the national health coun-
Gil, which has launched campaign to
encourage a yearly health examination
for every citizen. The danger of over
weight is explained partially by the
fact that the average person has
death rate per cent higher than the
person ten pounds under what is con-
sidered normal weight, the council has
determined.
"The most dangerous PERIOD ac-
cording to the statement, during
which fat has its most fatal effect IS
between the ages of IS and SIS years.
As overweight increases, so does the
death rate. A person 10 pounds over
weight has II per cent higher death
rate; one so pounds overweight has
a 60 per cent higher death rate, and a
person IS pounds overweight has IS
per cent death rate.
"The danger is that people do not
know when they are overweight and
regard fat as more of joke than any
thing else. Instead, the fat man
should regard himself as in constant
danger. If all who are given to flesh
would take a yearly health examina-
ton, their doctors would tell them how
to reduce and live healthier, happier
and more efficient lives.
