cleaned out cut off so that I dont think there is an orchard In tho fruit section of the State over ten years old There were orchads twentyfive years old in the Payctte valley There is going to be a great deal of money brought into the State this fall on account of the fruit Politics is beginning to stir In Idaho There Is no doubt but that the Populist I Popu-list ticket will be withdrawn two or three conciliatory changes made on the Democratic ticket and then the entire Populist strength will be given to the Democratic ticket The Pops wanted the AttorneyGeneral whereas we offered them the

times of tho last administration is something I cant make outS out-S 0 S I George E Griswold representing I Lyon Healy of Chicago is in the city This is nothing new for Griswold as he knows the
