FAMILY REUNITED AFTER MANY YEARS Boise.-Ida... Oct. 27. Apple growers , of Southern Idaho have appealed to Che state public utilities commission to afford them relief from the car - shortage which threatens to cause tbem the ottn of hundred of thou sands of dollars. It is estimated that there are 3000 carloads of apples be tween Wclser and Twin Falls awaiting ' snipping facilities, with small chanco (-1bat all of the crop can be movofl. The Union Pacific railroad has lifted ': Its embargo against the use of box I cars for frut shipments, but the Ore I . Rn Short JJne rofuses to accept such I ' shipments unless each car shall be V supplied with a heater and each shlp- mnt irrnmnnntMl hv An attendant. , Growers complain that a large share cf their profits will be taken from them If they are required to meet this provialorf made by this railroad. For this reasonthey have appealed to the commission. The Pacific Fruit Express has a monopoly on the refrigerator cars used bv th Harrlman system and it is claimed that because of that monopoly It Is impossible to Interest other re frigerator car companies in emergen cies such as the present. There is shortage of labor as well as of 'cars and growers are experi encing great difficulty In getting men to harvest the crop. The Boise Com mercial club has taken up this phase cf the situation and may ask business and professional men to go into, the orchards and help In the harvest. The schools have been appealed to and high schools boys have volunteered their services as laborers. - Idaho's last' quota of men called un der the first draft. 15 per cent, will move to tho cantonment camp at American Lake on November 7. the last day permitted under the order cf tht. provost marshal." Adjutant Gen eral C. 8. Moody made an effort to hav the date of departure postponed until later In the month that the con scription men mlzht have a chance to assist In' the harvesting of crops, but he was unsuccessful. Democratic party leaders from all parts of Iddhor gathered in Boise Mon day night to attend a conference on state and national matters. W. D. JamJeson, a member of the national committee, was present and gave ad vloe on the national situation. His plea was largely for unstinted sup port of the administration In all its war policies. He stated that the na tional committee was making its plans for the 1918 campaign and asked for financial support. In dlseusslng state affairs the party leaders went Into the senatorial situa tion and it was decided to make a strenuous campaign to elect Demo crats to the United States senate and the lower house of congress, some thing that has not taken, place In Idaho for 15 years. An active campaign has been con ducted In Idaho this week to secure tbe signatures of housewives to the food conservation pledge cards. The state has been thoroughly organized for this work by the federal food ad . minlstrator for Idaho, R. F. Blcknell. Reports from all counties Indicate that the pledge cards are being" very gen erally signed.

Four sis ters and one brother met in this city this week for a fatnily reunion. This is the first time they had all been to- Bro tliers and sisters meet again. gether for 37 years, and the occasion was fittingly celebrated. The sisters are Mrs. H. W. Scott and Mrs. S. L.

LaFol lette, the well known peach and lo ganberry grower of Marian county. Clarence Van Peusen, state auditor, has been cited to appear in the state supreme court on October 29 and show cause why he has refused to draw a claim for services performed in the legislature by Katharine Griffith for $268.75. Tho bill is for services per formed by Katherlne Griffith, who was a ' legislative attache, after the ad journment of the session. An "order from the speaker of the house for the amount was prenented, but the auditor refused to Issue a warrant, writing Beautiful?

The auditor announced that he would never "Issue a warrant for the sum afiked unless ordered to do so by the supreme court. With the departure of four compa nies of the Second Idaho Infantry for Camp Mills. Long Island, this week, the last of the national guardsmen from this state have gone Into training camps. These four companies have been doing guard duty in Northern Idaho since April. The balance of the regiment left last month for Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C, but it is un derstood the entire regiment has been ordered to Join the Rainbow division at Camp Mills. This is taken to mean that they will soon embark for Franco. Keen disappointment was expressed In Idaho when it was learned that the regiment had been disbanded, units of it being assigned-to the light ar tillery, engineers and machine gun battalions. Charging that errors by the reclam ation service have boosted the cost of water to the amount of more than $25 an acre, settlers on the Boise project are in open rebellion against the water prices fixed by the service, and have asked for a delay of one year in mak ing first payments in order that the controversy may be adjusted. In re ply to this request the department of the interior has asked if, in event the postponement is allowed, the set tlers will abide by the price fixed. To this the settlers have given no reply, but it is understood they are prac tically unanimously opposed to mak ing any such concession. They assert that the very reason the delay Is asked for is that the points In dis pute may be settled. In the event no agreement can be reached tho water users propose to tender $2 an acre, or two per cent of the amount they claim should be the water Charge, when the first payment becomes due en December 1. This ac tion, they believe, will place the re sponsibility for court action on the government. The settlers are acting unde the advice of United States Senator Borah, who has pledged them his support In their fight. Z. W. W. Xisader Sentenced J. J. Murphy, an I. W. W. leader arrested at Wallace, during1 the re cent labor disturbances in the Coeur d'Alenes, was convicted under the state syndicalism law and sentenced to serve one year in the penitentiary and pay a fine of $500.
