MELONS BRING GOOD PRICES

The melon market is still holding
good, with scarcely sufficient guam
tity coming in to supply the demand.
Canteloupes are bringing from SO to
$3.50 per crate, water melons $3.50
to 50 per hundred. If the weather
conditions continue there will prob
ably not be much of decline in the
price. The demand is largely from
nearby sections where melons are
not grown and most of the supply is
being sold to truckmen. However, a
few cars of mixed stuff is being
shipped to distant points. Michael
Harris has brought to market some
600 crates and is now delivering so
to GO crates day which are being
handled ly Denney & Co. The Pay
cite valley produces an excellent
quality of melons which always find
a ready market.

SHOULD ENFORCE ROAD LAWS

At this season of the heavy tour
ist travel there are certain forms o
danger which ordinarily do not oc
cur to many people. One of these II
what is known as the "sideswipe'
and which is one OF the most com
mon causes of accidents. On crowd
ed highways accidents of this kind
occur frequently and and the same
danger is constantly faced by driv.
ers on city streets. 1t Is almost i'm
i possible to avoid an occasional side
swipe from vehicles driven by care
less drivers. The sideswipe. more
over, is generally regarded as per-
haps the most dangers kind of auto
cillision.
The head-on smash up sounds
more dangerous, but anybody who
ever rode a bicycle and had his
front wheel swiped by someone cut
ting in ahead of him knows what a
spill it makes when the direction Of
a wheeled vehicle is suddenly altered
so much as to roll it over. And that
is what happens to the motorist If
a cut-in from the side catches him
full force.
Some who are careful at corners
and observe the speed laws will not
hesitate to try to jam into line of
cars on crowded turnpike. They
will even try it at high speed. fig
uring that the chap they hold back
will get out of the way and give
them the road. There are even some
fho seem to delight in frightening
the victim by just grazing his front
left mudguard enough SO he can feel
the contact.
Tho careful driver who realizes
the power under his hands and the
possible consequences of misusing 1t
takes no such chances. State and To-
cal police can do more valuable
highway service than calling to or
der the line-jumpers and place-hog-
gers. They are menace to every
body on the road including them
selves.
Even slow driver can be arrest
ed if he imperils anyone's safety.
should brace up their
to enforce the law, which
comparatively few of them do. II a !
life can be thereby saved now and
then it will have been a good work |
we'll done.

A WEEK IN HIGH MOUNTAINS

Among the campers who were out
spending few days in the mount
aims last week were Otto Diehm and
family and Cary Tussing and fam
lily, who returned last Sunday even
ing after spending a week where the
hot weather was the least of their
Inconvenience. They were camped
most of the time at Burgdorf, 80
miles beyond the Payette lakes,
pleasure resort managed by Oliver
Tyson, former Payette young man,
who has leased the place and has
been in charge during the summer.
From reports of Mr.. Diehm and Mr..
Tussing. this place offers great in
ducement to campers who enjoy nat
ure in all its grandeur in a high al
titude where both days and nights
are cool and where fishing and hunt
ing are good. Mr.. Tyson has large
log building, electric lights from his
own plant where rooms and board
can be obtained at reasonable price.
He also supplies the campers and
miners of that territory with staple
merchandise and supplies. While
this place at the present time is not
as accessible as other places, as
some eight or ten miles of the high
way is not completed, to campers
who are willing to climb a few steep
hills with narrow roads, it is well
worth their efforts.
After spending several days at
Burgdorf, the two families came
back to TIE Payette lakes and spent
the last night on their trip at Jack
Giesler's camp near Mccall.

SHIP CATTLE OUT TO FEED

The real effect of the extreme dry
season in many sections makes the
Payette valley stand out more promi-
nent every day. A recent trip into
long valley where most of the crops
grown depend on a normal snowfall
for moisture, many crops viii not be
harvested. the timothy fields except
where irrigation has been applied
have not grown to the height OF last
years stubble. AS a result of the hay
shortage many farmers are COM
PEELED to sell their cattle or ship
them out where hay can be obtained.
Even dairy cows will be brought out
for feed. Many places where sum-
mer and fall range grass is fairly
good the water supply for stock is
exhausted.

FOUR HELD FOR J.
BANK ROBBERY

/ Six hours after charges of robbery
had been filed Tuesday afternoon
against four suspects held by Ada
county authorities in connection
with the Eagle bank robbery Mon
day morning, .Chet LANCER, son of a
Boise valley rancher, confessed to
the Ada county prosecuting attorney
his part in the robbery
Chai ges of robbery were filed
against Hank" Endsley, driver OF
the Cadillac that figured in the rob-
berry of $2772 from the bank, Dora
Douglass, bobbed haired waitress, in
whose trunk at the farm home Of
Orrin Summers, south of Star, where
the two Douglass children were be-
! ing cared for, was found $3.50 in
pennies, thought to have been TAX
en- from the bank; LANCER and Oil
yer Jones, former convict at the Ida
no state prison. Carl Norris, justice
of the peace, held a preliminary at
ers to the custody of the sheriff
under $4,000 property bond or cash
ball in the sum of $4,000.
LANCER in his confession stated
that shortly after midnight Monday
the party went to a shack north of
Eagle and stayed there until about
9 o'clock Monday morning when
they drove to Eagle and he and
Jones went into the bank. Both had
guns. they picked up the money and

TO IMPROVE
SEVENTH STREET

Seventh street, known as Lovers
Lane, as far east as the Lower Pay
cite ditch, will soon be in excellent
condition. Mr.. Sherwood, chairman
of the street and alley committee,
is in charge of the work. the city
having made no charge for the gra-
vel taken from the city gravel pit
used on the paving contract near
Fruitland, Mr.. Helman has given the
use of road machinery which will
greatly reduce the expense to the
city in putting this piece of road in
good condition. This will be appre-
ciated by many auto drivers as for
some time this has been a very
rough piece of road leading into the
city.

HAVE THRILLING
EXPERIENCE

| The girl scouts who were accom-
panying DR.. I. r. Woodward home
from the Payette lakes late Sunday
evening, we're given a high touch of
| life and thrill that undoubtedly
outclassed anything that took place
while in camp.
In order to avoid driving home in
the heat of the day, the doctor re-
NAMED at the lakes until late in the
evening and when rounding the sum-
NIT at the top of the Mesa hill just
after dark, came suddenly into a
cloud of dust which completely OBJ
strueted the view of the road. The
doctor Immediately applied the foot
brake which from some cause locked
one rear wheel. turning the car sud
denly to the right into barbed wire
fence. tearing down several posts,
and continuing on down the hill
bouncing over rocks like a bucking
broncho. landing right side up on
all four wheels fully so yards from
where It bolted the track with the
front wheels buried half way to the
hub in the sand There were eight
occupants in the car including Mrs.
Woodward and Denny Hogue, be-
sides both sides of the car piled with
baggage and strange to say, not one
of the occupants received the slight
est injury except Mrs. Woodward,
Who received a slight scratch on the
upper lip. The crash was heard by
people at Mesa orchard headquarters
who came to their assistance. The
car, q six-cylinder Nash, had miracu-
lously bounded over rocks sufficient
ly high to smash through the floor
of the body and dent the bottom of
the gas tank without any serious
damage and was able to pull back
to the highway on its own power.
Captain Reeves of Payette hap
Dened alcAg Just In time to tow the
car to Mesa, where the mechanic for
the orchard company. with the as
ststance OF Mr.. Reeves, patched up
the radiator and made a few other
repairs. enabling the doctor to con-,
tinue his homeward trip. arriving
in PAyette about 2 o'clock the next
morning. 1t was fortunate affair
Had the car been Lightly loaded It'll
probably would have turned over, |
causing more serious accident.
