Alpine School Closed

We received a communication last
week from the Alpine school, which
we neglected to publish. This
school closed on March "a, after a
most successful term of six months
Miss Cora Larson conducted the
school and gave good satisfaction.
Those receiving prizes we're Roe
Glenn, of the fourth grade, who re-
ceived first prize for the most head
marks; Archie Estes, of the third
grade, who received first prize for
the most headmarks and Johnnie
Glenn, who received first prize for
the most Improvement in writing
during the term. A program was
rendered by the little folks, con-
sisting of songs. recitations and dia-
ogues. This was wound up by a

served and was worthy Of. Coming
here as he did with scarcely money
to file on his homestead, he did
what hundreds of less persevering
ones would have failed in, for with
his hard work, good judgment and
honesty he built up unaided home
that is an honor to the community
in which he lived. The coroners'
jury took plenty Of time to investi-

do not for moment believe the boy

Kills the Squirrels

If you want to get rid of the
squirrels on your ranch try the
following: Buy can of concen-
trated lye and a gallon of cheap
syrup, mix about half of the can Of
lye in the syrup and put it on little
pieces of boards and put it near the
holes and places frequented by the
little pests and it will kill all that
eat of it and the rest will leave the
ranch. The squirrels are very fond
of anything sweet and will readily
eat the syrup and lye. The above
is said to be the best squirrel eradi-
Gator ever discovered. Try it,

Compliments Idaho Laws

Idaho has the best pure food
law in the United States" said A.
Mcpherson, state pure food com
missioner, who was in Lewiston
Wednesday. "Our law is almost
IN exact counterpart of the bill
which Senator Hepburn now has be-
fore congress. I have received a
letter from the head chemist in the
chemistry department at Washing
ton, D. c., in which he gives our
state credit for having the best pure
food law.
"The new law as passed by the
last legislature gives the board of
pure food commissioners the power
to adopt standard of purity. We
are adopting the same standards as
those of the nation and 4 bulletin
will be issued during April from my
Office which will give all of the
standards. Many of these are very
severe as compared with our old
law but they give far better pro-
lection to the consumer az we'll as
the dealer. II is a we'll known fact
that Oregon and Washington have
copied our irrigation laws, that
Utah has copied our horticultural
laws and now We have pure food
law good enough for any state to
copy.
Zone of the new features of pure
food law is that every person Who
sells butter must secure a stencil
brand from my Office. 1t makes no
difference whether it is a large
creamery or farmers wife who
takes FIVE pounds week to coun-
nv store. We can make no dis

speculation

The people of this section OF
Idaho and Washington are now
thoroughly aroused over the rail-
road situation. Despairing of ever
getting the much needed improve
msnt in transportation facilities,
they have started in to see what
can be done here at home in the
way of securing relief from the in
tolsrabls conditions which exist.
The electric railroad seems to be
the solution to the problem and the
city of Lewiston has taken the in
itiativs and the prairie and mining
country stands ready to back her up
in the proposition. A meeting will
be held in Lewiston today which
will be attended by representatives
from all sections of this and Camas
prairies, and steps taken to start
this much needed enterprise on the
road to 4 successful consumation.
Let the good work 60 on. Nez-
perez and Nezperce prairie stand
ready to assist when the proper
ime arrives.

To Build Railroad

To the public:
Whereas, the lack of adequate
transportation facilities fer the COM
munities of the Snake and Clear
water river basins is rapidly becom-
ing insufficient, and
Whereas, we have ever been and
still are in cheerful readiness to aid
and forward the bonafide efforts of
any transportation company seeking
to serve these communities, and
Whereas, in the present conditions
we see nothing tangible for railroad
construction in the near future, and
Whereas the state of Oregon, and
the Open River Association of public
spirited citizens have caused the
building of portage railroad
around the Dalles-Celilo rapids Of
the Columbia river in order to i'm
prove transportation facilities be-
tween this section and the sea coast,
Now therefore, we urgently re-
quest all business men, farmers,
stockmen, miners, manufacturers,
land owners, capitalists, merchants,
to assemble In mass meeting in Lew
iston on Thursday, April 6, at two
o'clock p. M, to discuss and take
such prompt and vigorous measures
as may be deemed necessary to pro-
mote or build railroad of our own
into the NezpsrceA and Camas prairie
sections, and to build and operate
on the rivers to Cello
in connection with the Portage rail-
road and other boat lines operating
below the Dalles. The time for
waiting is past. Let US act for our
selvss.

CHRONOLOGICAL FORECAST
AS predicted by The Republican there
were fewer bugs last night, the pre-
dominating insect being the grasshop-
per. with only a slight percentage of
crickets. The bugOmeter last night
indicated that tonight there would be
a still smaller number of bugs but
the crickets and grasshOppers will be
more evenly divided. There will also
be a considerable showing of smaller
varieties of bugs. Those who refuse
to take this forecast show that they
have not taken enough bug juice to
appreciate it.
FINDING OF THE BODY-News
was received here yesterday of the
finding OF the body of seven year old

far from HOlbroOk, on July Is. This
is the case i'll which c. w. Grouse of

was quoted a few days ago as say
ing that hope of finding the girl alive
had long ago been given up and the
search was being continued only for
the purpose of hoping to find the body
that the parents might have the sat
isfaction of knowing her fate 1t will
be remembered that John Hatch and
family went camping on July 10 and
the same evening the little girl wan
dered away from camp just at dusk
and was never again seen alive. She
was trailed by Indians and search par
ties sought in Vain. Rewards were
first offered for her recovery and later
for her body if dead. She was found
on the opposite of a river in a region
that had not previously been secured
for the reason that the river was so
swollen when she wandered away that
it was not supposed she could pos
sibly have crossed It..
