EIGHTY CARS OF APPLES.
Wonderful Crop of Payette In Ready
for Market.
A. B. Moss left Tuesday for a trip
into Wyoming to make arrangements
for disposing of a large number of
carloads of apples, which he will han
dle this year, says the Payette Inde
pendent. "There will.be 80 cars of
apples along the Payette Valley rail
road this ytnr," said Mr. Moss, "and
I expect to find a market for them.
This Is my second trl& this year Into
'Wyoming. I generally have to mnke
two trips Into that territory every
yptr. Apples are not going to sell at
a figure that you would call high, but
as the crop Is so heavy the growers
will make good money off of them
thlk year.
"Some of the farmers estimate
there will be more than SO carloads
along the new railroad, but I believe
that number will cover the output.
There Is considerable talk of putting
part of the apples In cold storage un
til spring. It may be necessary to do
that to realize much off of them. In
that way the npples could be readily
disposed of In Montana, Colorado and
Salt Lake markets, and good prices
would be received in the spring as
dealers cannot store enough to Inst
them all winter."

Improvements to the value of sev

In the Odd Fellows, building at the
corner of Main and Alta streets by
F-nrekn lodge No. 32, which owns the
property. At a recent meeting of the
lodge the trustees were authorized
to have the Improvements made, and
the work will be undertaken as soon
as the plans can be perfected.
Around the entire building a con
crete sidewalk Is to he laid, replacing
the present wooden walk, and on Alta
street the walk will be widened In
accordance with the provisions of the
ordinnnce recently pnssed by the coun
ell. When the concrete walk Is placed
In front of the building there will he
another solid block of cement side
walk, as the Odd Fellows building Is
the only one In thnt block not so pro
vided nt present.
The basement of the building Is
also to be enlarged, through excava
tions under the sidewalks, and It is to
be fitted up for use as a salesroom by
the Tetttsch store. The room below
will be lighted by means of prisms,
and there will be entrances to the
basement from the Interior of the first
floor, nnd from the sidewalk on Alta
street.
During the past summer the lodge
room of the Odd Fellows hall was re
modeled nnd provided with n new
enrpet, nnd when the above Improve

Washington, Oct. 9. After several
cabinet meetings and conferences of
canal commissioners. It has been fin
ally decided that the Panama canal
will be completed by contract. In a
few days the commission will make
public a statement setting forth tha
reasons for favoring the contract sys
tem and the form of the contract will
probably be published showing ex
actly the sort of document believed by
the commissioners to be necessary for
safeguarding the works.
The president Is known to support
the commission In Its position that
the work can be done more satisfac
torily by contractors than by the gov
ernment. This change In building the
cana will In no way affect the em
ployment of Chinese labor. Roose
velt still Intends to visit the isthmus
this fall, and unless there should be
some change for the worse In the Cu
ban situation, he will probably leave
for Colon a short time after election.

commenced. The hendgates for the
main south side canal will be finished
In a week or 10 dnys.
The contractors on the structural
work are away behind and the turn
ing In of the water will be delayed on
this account. The bridges and cul
verts on the south side will be com
pleted In about two weeks, but the
progress Is very slow. The flow of
the river Is Increasing nnd with one
gate down the water has backed up
for algreat distance, the islands above
the dam being submerged. It will

to the canal levels when the canals,
