SHEEP MEN
AT SHOSHONF
Will Hold Meeting For Purpose of
Selecting Advisory Board From
the Wool Growers

\ HALEY, Idaho, Dec. 80. meet
ing is to be held at Shoshone on jan
uary of the wool growers who Craze
sheep within the Sawtooth national
forest. This meeting is being called
for the purpose of appointing an ad
visory board and for such other busi-
ness as may come before it.
An advisory board for the forest
should be appointed from the wool
growers using range thereon and chosen
by themselves and should consist Of
five men, preferably small, large and
medium owners, that all classes of
sheep owners may be represented.
This advisory board is needed for
the purpose of assisting in the con
troll of sheep grazing on the Sawtooth
national forest. On different forest S
which have had advisory boards such
boards have proven of great value.
They help to decide all the import
ant questions relative to cheap graz
ing within the forest. They aid in
inspecting the range to determine its
carrying capacity and to decide wheth-
er a reduction in number of sheep is
necessary or whether an increase in
number may be allowed. They assist
in dividing the range between different
applicants, in determining who has
range rights and to what extent and
in settling range disputes between
different permitees. In fact. an
advisory board helps to settle all the
important questions concerning sheep
grazing within the forest for which
they have been appointed.
1t is most important that every wool
grower using range within the Saw
tooth forest be present at this meet
ing, which Mr.. Homer E. Fem, chief
of grazing for this district. will at
tend, and it is probably that District
Forester Leavitt will also be present.

Denver Live Stock Show


1t is estimated that the live stock
to be exhibited at the Denver show,
Jan. 18th-23rd, will represent value
of over million dollars. There will
be many single animals worth from
S5, 600 to So, 900 each, if indeed they
could be purchased, while there will
be hundreds worth over $500 each.
These cattle horses and sheep will
represent the ideals of their different
breeds and visit to the big show
will be an education to the farmer or
stockman who desires to know what
is the highest type produced in the
various classes of animals. AS a
business proposition no farmer or
stockman can afford to stay away.

JOHN J. GRANT
TAKES MORPH HINF
Well Known Young Man Ends His Life
In a Hotel at HaiIey..Despond-
enCy the Cause

HALEY, Dec. 27.-J. j. Grant of
in the Alturas hotel today by taking
morphine. The body was still warm
when found and it is believed here
that the rash act was not committed
until this evening. Mr.. Grant has
been in HALEY some time circulating a
petition for w. c. Lane, for the ap-
poinment of warden to the penitent-
iary.
Grant seemed to be in the best of
spirits while here, but had not been
seen since 5 o'clock Christmas even
ing. Suspicion was aroused tonight
regarding his whereabouts and the
proprietor of the hotel went to his
room at 9 80 o'clock and. unlocking
the door, found him lying on the bed.
his body nearly cold. In pocket was
discovered note which read: Wire
Rich Grant at Boise or Hagerman
and NJ j. Grant at Glenns Ferry
In glass which was placed by the
bed were some settings which DR. H..
B. Jones, who was called as soon as the
body was found, declared was NOR
phine. DR.. Jones stated that it was
his opinion that the man had commit
ted suicide this evening as the body
was still warm. Nothing was found
on him other than the note which
would reveal the identity Of the man.
The note indicates that the case was
one of deliberate suicide and no over
dose of poison. Authorities here have
tried to communicate with relatives
who are supposed to be in Boise. Hag.
erman or Glenns Ferry, but theii
efforts have been without avail.
The body is at the undertaking
parlors. Efforts will bemade to-mor
row to communicate with the persons
mentioned in the note.
Residents of HALEY who hav,
learned of the sudden ending of tn
young man are at a loss to accoun
/ for his self destruction. He was
bright, we'll appearing person abou
30 years of age. Some are of the opin
ion that the cause may have been
love affair while others believe tha
it was plain case of melancholia.

BIG FIRE AT
SILVER CITY
Flames Destroy Greater Part of Bus.
mess Section Checked BY
Dynamite

A fire that threatened to wipe out
the entire business section of Silver
City started in Chinese restaurant
in Mike Rocks building on Washing
ton street. Frank Lowry's saloon,
the Crete saloon, Mike Rocks lodging
house, Caldwell's store and Louis
Walkers barber shop were destroyed
in addition to the restaurant.
Fortunately there was no wind or
the burned district would have been
much greater. The fire was checked
at the Caldwell store. which was
wrecked by the explosion of 35 pounds
of giant powder. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, very little of it being
covered by insurance. Mike Rock
was the heaviest loser. He was the
owner of the building occupied by the
restaurant and Lowry's saloon as we'll
as of the rooming place.
The most intense excitement pre-
vailed during the early stages of the
fire, as it was feared the entire bust
ness section of the town would be de-
stroyed. Citizens responded nobly
and did effective work. The water
pressure was strong but availed but
little in the face of the fierce blaze
consuming old wooden buildings. The
hills were lighted up for miles
around. Passengers on the earl.
NOR ming train saw the reflection from
the fire but attributed it to natura
eau ses.

Good January Number


The January number of The Lad

afternoon with John d. Rockefeller

that you know more of the great man

life of the rural districts. These
contributions alone would make any
issue notable, but there are besides
several very interesting short stories,

Pres. Warmers Annual Address

At the Idaho Sta tie Teachers AS
sociation which convened iniBoise the
first of the week, President Warner in
his annual address to the teachers,
spoke of the need of varying the
school curriculum. He said in part:
"While l believe that much of
the newspaper and magazine criticism
of our schools is experimental and
sensational, / am convinced that much
of it is just and deserved.
"Modern education must harmonize
with modern industry and modern
society. The middle age school was
individualistic, its indutries was not
social, and society was undemocratic.
But the past century has seen an
industrial revolution, and cores
ponding reorganization which natural
ly involves reorganization of educa-
tion and society. Technical know
ledge can no longer be individualistic
and in possession of a few. 1t must
be social and democratic. A modern
without an army of assistants. The
results of his research may greatly
change the social life everywhere.
The true economic relation of industry
to national life is better understood
now than ever. Science or education
has socialized industry and now in
dustry is reforming education.
The school must get nearer the real
life of toll and toiler. nearer the
farm and garden, the mine, lumber
camp, and mill, and give them a
new and deeper significance and inter-
probation. Not until this is done
can we hope for the school to do its
mission in complete sense to the
new conditions. 10 enable this to be
done our secondary schools must ac-
tually participate in industrial activ-
ity as it now exists. Our laborator-
les must be school gardens and work
shops.
In closing Mr.. Warner said:
''Let me close this discussion by
urging all teachers to be awake to
the stir in public school life. Be-
come a student and free thinker along
educational lines. Great things are
in store for our educational system
Just as soon as we are ready to as
sumo the new burden. People are
turning to the public to answer ques-
tions of industry, of economy and of
society that are of vital Importance
to this nation. Idaho is a new state
and unique in her natural resources.
Why with her opportunities to build
the foundations of her educational
still before her should she not be a
leader in working out an abiding an
swer to some of the educational ques-
tions of today and thus write her
name high on the roll of educational
leadership
