IDAHO EVENTS.

The trustees of the First Presby-
terrain church of Moscow have received
a promise from Andrew Carnegie that
he will donate 1925 toward liquidating
the expense incurred by the installa-
ton of the new pipe organ in the
church.
To ascertain how many Indian chill
dren are attending white schools on
Nez Perez reservation, Indian Agent
O. H. Lips will canvass the schools
and report to the department, which is
completing fluctuations. Commission
er Francis Leupp wants Indian chill
dren to attend white schools, as he
thinks by so doing the young redskins
will lose their tribal habits.
Indian corn is likely to supplant
beans on American ridge. That bean
buyers will not contract the crop in
advance is the main reason the farm
ers are giving up this industry. Last
year Kendrick shipped $4,000 bushels
of beans, for which the buyers paid
s250,00O. While it is early for an esti-
mate the acreage will be reduced 20
per cent.
Much interest has been aroused by
the announcement that the work of
alloting the lands of the Occur d'Alene
Indian reservation preparatory to
opening the reservation to white set
Element has begun. The reservation
contains $4,000 acres of land, of which
probably 200,0 acres are agricultural
land of the best quality. The remain
ing 100000 acres are timbered and a
portion mountainous and rough. Some
of this land is covered with heavy
timber of great value. Other lands
are covered with smaller timber and
dense underbrush, while other portions
have fine timber scattered over them,
with no underground, and the trees
are large and straight, but they are
wide apart There are about 600 In
dams on the reservation and each of
these is to have 100 acres of land with
out regard to age or sex. That means
that the Indians are to have first
choice of $4,000 acres of the land The
park, if reserved, will take $500 acres
more.
Robert Munro, aged 10, was captured
while robbing the till in Mike Makers

The success of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative association is
somewhat surprising, as the new or
der has taken the ranchers by storm
and they have fiocked to join, until
Idaho promises to become a factor in
the national Organization.
