Are Hard Pressed
Close Game Here Tues
day Goes to Local
Hoopsters

College OF Idaho basket ball players
annexed their second game of the sea-
son Tuesday evening when the Coy
otes downed the Boise First National
hank team OF the Y. M. {. A. league
on the home court. While the col
legians led throughout the entire
game. it was by the narrowest OF mar
gins and the final score was Pap.
Play was slow and by no mems
marked by the clever aggressive work
which featured the locals game
against tho United Presbytcrians LAST
week. Something OF the punch was
gone but on defense the game per-
formed capably, the check artists get
ting but one close goal Scott. for
ward. dropped seven goals from the
middle OF the floor for the outstand-
ing scoring performance OF the even
ing.
At times, the game was rough
enough to please the most ardent
fan. Myers and Robinson made a
capable defensive pair for the Coyotes.
Tonight the locals play the bankers
return game on the Y. N. c. A.
floor. Monday they meet the Meth
odist team here.

POTATO PRICES
SHOW STRENGTH
Past Season Far Better
Than 1922; Quota
tions Higher
BY c. (. Shultz

Idaho Falls-The season so far has
generally been considered an unprofit-
able one by the growers but it is surely
an improvement over 1922. The wag-
on load cash price on Rurals is now
20 just 5 times higher than at this
time Last year when it was 20 with
loaded cars selling slowly at 25c.
Russets now selling II 90c are 215
times higher than last year when the
price was 35-40c. The top price on
Idaho Russets at Los Angeles a year
ago was Sl.30. Friday it was 500.
The top on Rurals at Fort Worth
a year ago was Sl.35 and Friday
sos.
The rural price this fall has been
very unsatisfactory at times but the
present season certainly stands out
brightly rs compared with 1922. Ida
no potato growers are entering the
New Year with many things in their
favor. They face an ever increasing
demand for the Idaho Russet in Cali
fornia with the crop in that state re-
ported as rapidly cleaning up. More
than ll50 cars OF Idaho potatoes ar
rived on the Los Angeles market
during the last four months of 1923
which was nearly three times the
amount unloaded there for the same
period in 1922. and while this is the
most important California market for
Idaho, il is not the only one as they
are shipped to all parts of the state.
The percentage OF the Idaho crop
shipped in carload lots for the past
seasons has ranged from 90 per cent
to "a per cent with an average OF
o. per cent. On the basis OF o. per
cent, Idaho should ship 1902 cars
this season OF which 1862 had been
moved to Dec. 81 with 5430 indicated
remaining to ship. Last season 1925
cars were shipped after Dec. 81. The
Caldwell Nampa section had a heavy
late crop to move but has practically
nothing at present. Washington will
furnish Idaho some competition in
but the Washington crop
S estimated l,365 900 bushels less than
asst year and shipments this season to
late have ben $50 cars more than at
he same time last year.

LAWYER GETS JOB

T. f. Buckner has been selected by
group of Nampa citizens to handle
legal phases OF park site controversy
raging at the Junction City. Owing
to the fact that Nampa attorneys were
felt to have personal convictions on
the mater, it was decided to employ
a Caldwell attorney.
Two sites are involved, one Of
them being the Indian creek site which
Mr.. Buckner has ben employed TO
uphold, the other being the former
Miller property, now owned by Fritz
Miller, former Caldwell citizen. II
is this property that the city council
OF Nampa favors for park uses bu,
which a coteric OF citizens, backed by

WINNER Of COW
M|SS|NGPERSON
Holder of Number 1893
Is Lucky if
Qualified

Somebody Thursday afternoon
won SYPHILIS Noble Pansy. regis
tered Jersey dairy COW. hung up
by the Caldwell Retail Merchants
association. But who the lucky
person is could not be determined
Thursday afternoon
The winner is the holder OF the
ticket number 1898, providing that
person can qualify under the rules
OF the contest. The committee in
charge has ruled that no Caldwell
professional or business man or
any memebr of his family or EN-
ployec is eligible to win the cow
The committee further held that
the winning ticket did not need to
be shown at the hour OF drawing.
Therefore the committee is on a
still hunt for the holder OF that
number.
Mrs. R. M. Berry, holding the
first number from the hat, was
disqualified as the winner because
Mr.. Berry is a professional man,
engaged in teaching work at the
Caldwell high school. She held
No. 81. 564, the first one drawn.
To be certain that a number
held by some person who is quail
fed was drawn, 10 numbers were
taken from the total. In order
those numbers were-exclusive OF
the two already mentioned-lo.-
1877; 24.304; 3l,oo2; E,42o; 35.s9S;
p, POI: 3o,l78 and 1912.
The drawing was held at Main
and Kimball streets Thursday af-
tcrnoon. A large crowd collected
to observe the contest climax.
c. c. Antrim, T.. +. Perry and J.
A. Dement, supervised the draw
ing while Mrs. c. d. Thompson

BOISE VALLEY
SENDS STRONG
BODY ON TRIP
Delegates to Salt Lake
Reclamation Hearings
to Present Local Con-
ditions

Boise Valley is well represented
at Salt Lake this week where the
federal reclamation fact finding COM
mission is in session. Hearings be-
gan there Thursday. Practically all
Boise Valley delegates to the confer
ence left Tuesday evening or Wednes-
day.
Among those who are attending
the hearings are l.. ]. Magee, and
Fred Harrington, secretary and presi-
dent, respectively, of the regular
water users board and T. A. Walters,
Caldwell attorney, who represents the
"insurgent' Payette- Boise board.
In addition to the Payette- Boise
projects proper, other districts are
also represented at Salt Lake. Fred
Evans. secretary, is there representing
the Pioneer irigatior district. For
the Nampa- Meridian district, now ac
lively seeking relief based on some
what the same plan as the relief pro-
posal for the Boise project, is re-
presented at Salt Lake by G. A. Re-
secretary and ]. w. Brandt.
a member OF the board OF directors.
The Black Canyon irrigation dis
trict. first unit, sent James Newport
president OF the board OF directors,
and Ora Cox. a member OF the board.
to represent that irrigation district at
the Salt Lake hearings.
The Caldwell Kiwanis club is re-
presented by Ross Madden.
Judging from the importance To-
cally attached to the hearings. all
western projects will probably be re-
presented at Salt Lake. Likelihood OF
the commission visiting projects is
now considered as remote and this is
believed to be the only opportunity
to present envoy claims and prob
lens of each project. While the Salt
Lake hearings were presumably to
have been of short duration. il is
thought likely that a number OF days
will be taken to obtain evidence from
al project representatives. providing
This is the policy to be followed

up all hope of saving her when
she died. She leaves a family of
two boys and two cows. They

money to leave behind. But she
willed it all to you. In case you
die, the fortune goes to the cows.
Old Mrs. Offenblock is very
