a few nights ago, Earl Joiner of this
place, was severely cut and bruised
but lickily escaped further injury
which, at the time appeared to have
been inflicted. The accident happen
ed near Taylors Corner, about one
mile west of this town, and was caus-
ed by the car running off the concrete
road, in order to pass another car that
was approaching, and upSetting where
the rains had washed the dirt should
er considerable lower than the con-
crete road. Mr.. Joiner who was alone
managed to crawl out of the machine
and received most of his injuries from
the flying glass of the windshield.
With several huge cuts on the face
and hands, he walked a short distance
to the home of Charles d. Wells, who
took him to his physician in Town
send, where his injuries were dressed.

TRAPPERS AT BLACKBIRD
Muskrat Season Opened Monday With
Fair Prospects of Being Successful


Muskrat trappers over along the
marshes in Blackbird Hundred, were
on the job Monday, the opening day
of the season. Many trappers report
fair catches for the first day. The
sudden freeze Sunday night caused
much shell ice to form on the marshes
and trappers claim caused the rats to
run the deeper leads which was below
their traps and as a result the first
days catch was not what some ex-
pected as the first day of the open
season is usually exceedingly heavy.
Local fur dealers are now quite active
and are offering from $1.50 to S16O
per pelt for the skins. Many trap
pers intend to hold their early catches
until later in the season as they ex-
pect higher prices.

Of the accident OF the three persons

badly cut and the injury will prob

MASON CH00SEN
ON HIS TICKET
F Full Primary Returns
Await Official
Canvass.

The entire Progressive list of pre-.
sent Office holders was apparently
renominated at the primary election
held here Tuesday. Full returns will
not be learned until the vote is Off
cially canvassed by the board Of coun-
ty commissioners. Various precincts
failed to report their results and the
complete vote cannot be compiled un-
til the vote is formally canvassed.
AS was expected, the hardest fight
was made against Sheriff o Y. Mason
and Fl. d. Hanks OF Nampa, machine
favorite, ran Mason a close race for
nomination. Mr. Mason had an ap-
parent safe lead on the unofficial re-
turns and il is not believed that the
official canvass will alter the result.
Both Mrs. Bernard, county treasur-
er. and s. d. Garman, county assessor
and both in disrepute with the Pro-
gressive machine, were renominated
without great difficulty.
Because OF the many contested
Offices, the Progressive party vote was
quite heavy, in excess of 1000 memb-
ers of this party balloting. Repub-
licans. with only one contested Office
cast about 500 ballots while Demo-
Gratis. with no contests, trailed with
less than 200. On the Republican
ticket, Paul Case was nominated over
II. D. Miller for coroner while Ralph
Smith OF Nampa was nominated for
commissioner in that district where a
vacancy existed on the ballot.
Precincf committeeman from all
three parties will meet in Caldwell
August 10 to select the county central
committee and to perfect the organiza-
ton OF their respective parties for the
fall campaign.
County conventions will be held
August 10 in Caldwell when delegates
will be named to the state conven-
tions of the three parties.

AUGUST CROPS
SHOW INCREASE
P otato Estimate Far
Above July Forecast;
Price Low.

August estimates OF the probable
potato production OF the United States.
as given by the United States depart
ment OF agriculture and released here
Thursday by D. G. Clark, place the
probable 1924 crop at 39S,82l 900
bushels. This is an increase OF al
most 20 millions of bushels over the
July estimate and compares with an
actual production Of l2.3o2,000 BUSH
els last year.
August forecasts OF the probable
crop are usually accurate because the
crop is largely made when these fig
ures are compiled. The report came
as a sharp disappointment to Idaho
producers. who hoped that forecast
closely approaching that OF July would
Immediately bolster the local market
quotations.
Roughly. a gain OF 100000 BUSH
els over the July estimate is created
to Michigan, Wisconsin and MINES
ota. These three states suffer 3rd with
wet late seasons but the fine weather
of the past month evidently has
brought the crop to maturity with
a much larger production than was
thought possible early in July. Esti-
mates for New York. Pennsylvania
and North Dakota show probable in
creased production OF about two mill
lion bushels each while Colorado and
Idaho forecasts in dicate Sigh, de-
cline in the probable final yield
Prices the past week have continued
weaker until local quotations Thurs
day were about 80 cents. So lar ship
ments have been slow but it is be-
lievcd that the stuff which remains
will be marketed as rapidly as IT is
ready, now that the national situation
is definitely known.

ering and the program did not begin
until shortly before noon, the day was
an unqualified success. Governor
Moore was the principal speaker OF
the day. He outlined briefly the pro-
gress and expressed pleasure at the
success OF the Idaho Oregon Egg
Producers. That the poultry industry
has come to stay and that its influ-
ence is being materially felt in the
Boise Valley today were declarations
Of Governor Moore.
Almost every phase OF the poultry
business was touched upon in some
way by speakers during the afternoon.
Memorial park made an ideal setting
for the program. Ice cream and lem

club in great quantities to everyone
present. the visitors suplementing a
picnic dinner with these refreshments
Exhibits taken from the poultry
special train which visited Idaho and
Utah in June were shown at the park,
the Boise Rayette Lumber company
having brought them here for the
purpose. Interest in the model build
ings and equipment for poultry pur-
poses was keen throughout the day.
In addition, many other exhibits per-
tanning to the industry were shown
and were centers of small gatherings
during the day.
Included among those who attended
the affair were a number OF visitors

Fire Destroys Miller
Sales Yard Saturday;
Neighboring Property
Protected.

Plenty OF water and a perfectly
ante day may have saved Caldwell
,,om a disastrous fire last Saturday
afternoon when the sales yards, Ninth
and Blaine, were swept to destruction.
Origin OF the fire is unknown. The
favored theory gives credit for the
blaze TO smokers who passed through
the alley between tn sales yard and
Indian creek shortly before the fre
WAS discovered. Indemnity OF these
,wo persons has not been learned. In
the absence OF any other plausible
cause for the blaze, Fire Chief H. c.
Gillette in inclined to the belief that
this theory is the right one.
LET George do it," seems to have
been the public policy so far as re-
porting the blaze is concerned
The entire yards were ahre and
neighboring property jeopardized be-
fore the fact that blaze existed was
reported 10 the fire department. No
attempt was made TO save the sales
yard property by the department,
Chief Gillette quickly realizing that
10 do so would jeopardize neighboring
buildings, several of which had already
caught aire before the department
arrived.
Three streams were quickly IN ac
ton two OF them played upon the
D. G. Ruby barn across Indian cree
from the fire Volunteer help managed
the fire lines, Caldwell youths disiin-
gushing themselves with their service.
Two fremen. Emery Royce and Fred |
Ross. were painfully burned by tho
extreme heat while working near the
blaze They were wet with flying
spray and believe that this contributed
to the injuries.
Losses from the fire had not beer
estimated, pending arrival OF an ad-
jus,or for the insurance companies.
Il is believed, however, that the prop
erty is adequately insured. The plant
was owned and operated by Amos
Miller who is at present in the east
visiting relatives.

BRING On BAD
HOUSE M|X-UP
Electoral Vote and
House Deadlocks pos
sible; Stone Busy with
Trusts.

Observation-Disclosures examination
Of the constitutional provisions to be
invoked in case the Electoral Col
lege fails to elect a President has
revealed that, as the House now stands
such failure would be attended with
grave peril. Failure OF the Electoral
College to give majority to any can
didate would send the election to the
House. There the members vote by
states and as there are 4S states 2s
would be required for 4 majority. AS
The House stands-and it is the present
House that would have to act-there
would be % Republican votes, 20 Dem
cratic, and La Toilette votes. This
would mean a deadlock. for no one can
magne La Toilette releasing his sup
portcrs to vote for either Coolidge or
Davis, and the constitution limits the
choice OF the House to the three
highest candidates in the Electoral
College which, OF course. would be
the candidates named. II the House
has not elected by March 4, the Con-
sitution provides that the Senate
shall make the choice OF vice-presi-
dent and ne shall be President. but
its choice is limited to the two candi-
dates who have received the highest
votes in the Electoral College. who
would be, OF course, Dawes and Bry-
an Who would be Chief Executive
while the Senate was making its
choice is question. Some think
Secretary Hughes. Others contend
that he cannot hold over his term. All
of this means chaos and confusion
worse confounded.
1t is dawning on students OF the
political situation that vote for La
Toilette can mean only the defeat OF
the will OF the people, OF the majority
vote. II the choice OF President were
