Sieighing is good on Nez Perce prairie
and farmers who were unable TO haul all
their grain to the warehouses last fall are
now delivering gain at the traniway at
the average rate Of 5000 bushels dailv.
from so to IS teams unloading at the
tranway every day.
The success Of the farmers traniway
during the pas, year has attracted a great
deal Of attention and there is p-ospec, Of
three additional trdmwsys being put IN
within the next few months. Farmers of
the Russell neighborhood have already
organized company and have secured
suf5cien~ financial backing to L,it in
tranway from the head ef Six Mile can
yon to the mouth of Lolo creek. just
above Greer. This tramway will have
vertical tall Of nearly 1900 feet in dis.
iance of mile aud quarter
The farmers in the Tahoe. Lowe aud
Green creek sections in Idaho county
have also organized and it is tn ought will
have little difficulty in securing funds with
whicl,,to put ia trsmway from the top Of
the hill near Lowe to point on the Clear.
water just below Kooskia. II this tram.
way is put in il is estimated that the grain
acreage Of that section will be trebled
within two years and Kooskia will then
become one of the principal grain ship
ping points on the Clearwater Short Line.
Recently the farmers in Clifford, Look
out, Myrtle and Melrose sections have
been agitating the proposition OF putting
in a tramwsy that would serve the grain
growers Of those sections, who at presen,
are compelled to haul their grain long
distances and down long and dangerous
hills to reach the warehouses ON the raj
road. This proposed uamwsy. which
will be over mile aud quarter in length
will have it's lower terminus at or neal
Agatha, and it is believed that lis con
s,ructior would result in taking away
large portion Of the grain business nos
enjoyed by Lenore.

PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES.
Mayor In the Most Famous, and tho
TanI Comes Next.


The most famous Philippine volcano
md one of the finest volcano cones III
the world is that Of Mayor. Its height
Is 500 feet, and the volcano Is Visible
at great distance. Since 1866 records
have been kept of its cruptlons. In
that year many plantations and vii
lagos were buried under Il stream Of
lava which flowed down Its eastern
slope. About ] 100 lives were lost In
the eruption Of 1914. which buried the
country around part of the base of
Mayor under the outpourlngs of lava
and dust. A similar calamity In 1926
destroyed the lives OF about 1000 per
sons. In the nineteenth century there
were n number OF severe eruptions, In
Guiding one in 1861 which continued
about nine months. An eruption In
1897 Killed $50 persons and destroyed
much property. Twenty-Five violent
eruptlons OF this volcano are OH record.
Next to Mayor the Taal volcano Is
the most remarkable. 1t IL on an Is
land, built up by its outpourings. has
an area of 220 square miles. The vol
cano Is necessarily ejecting dust and
vapor from its crater. Taal as well as
Mayor, has been the center Of numer-
Gus destructive earthquakes, but no
very great eruption has occurred since
1864, when four villages around II :
mountain were completely destroyed :
