please make it public that it is

School Notes.

This is our fifteenth week of
school. The board at their last
session, Monday of this week,
decided that the Christmas or
holiday vacation should be of two
weeks duration and should be
taken in December, hence this
is our last week of school before
Christmas and we begin Monday,
January 3, 1910.
We have two new pupils this
week, Masters Milo and Robert
Lamphere, recently from the
schools of Detroit. Michigan.
They start in our second and
third grades.
Two officers from the Grange
vile Womans Club, visited us
this Monday and brought the in
formation that the club had de-
cided to give gold medal, like
the one given last year, to the
pupil making the best record in
a spelling contest to be held the
last week of the school year.AlI
grades will be included in the
contest and the words are to be
chosen by the ladies of the club,
from the books used by each par
ticular grade during the year.
This plan places each individual
pupil upon his or her own re-
sponsibility and does not call
for so much drill and grind by
the teachers. We await the re-
suit with interest, knowing that
some boy or girl will be pleased
to receive this reward of dill
gence and care. We are unable
to predict whether it shall go to
some pupil in the lower or the
higher grades. OF course the
higher grades will have the larg-
er field to cover in preparation
and their previous records or
success in spelling will help or
hinder them.
Little programs in preparation
for Christmas celebrations at
school will now be dropped be-
cause of the early vacation.
"Down town" after supper has
spelled failure for many school
boz of the past and is doing so
new for others.
The high school girls, led by
Miss Burrows, held a ten cent
sale last Saturday and netted
several dollars for magazines and
other material for high school
use. They deserve much credit
for their energy and enterprise.

served success he has attained
and bespeak for his steadfast de-
termination and splendid business
ability, a future success that will
soon place him in the ranks IF
the big sheep men of Idaho.
Idaho is rapidly becoming the
leading state in the union in the
sheep industry. Its second larg-
est government reserve in the
United States furnishes abundant
summer range and it's fertile
valleys with their almost perpet-
ual summer, and general sur
roundings that have proven so
congenial to the sheep industry,
disease being a rare thing in the
sheep bands of Idaho, have made
sheep raising a very pleasant and
very profitable industry.
The things which DR.. Green
has done can be done by others
and we trust many will follow
his example and take advantage
of the thousands of acres of
splendid government range with
in our borders and people them
with the splendid dividend pay
ers to which they are so richly
adapted.

Organize New COMPANY.

DR.. G. A. Green of this city
and Ben Cooper of Salmon river
bought out the interest of their
partner, Mr.. Jasper Booth, in
their band of sheep now on the
winter range on Salmon river.
DR.. Green and Mr.. Cooper have
organized the Lambirth Land and
livestock Company, they have
purchased the Big Bar ranch and
ferry at the mouth of Rock
Creek, the South ranch at the
mouth of Centre Canyon and the
McBrarity ranch in Rocky Can
yon, and taken five year lease
on the state land at the mouth
of Nice creek. This gives the
new company. about $500 acres
of decided land and range, which
constitutes one of the best sheep
ranges in the Salmon river coun-
try. When the ranches become
fully improved the company can
put up each season about 300
tons of alfalfa and grain hay,
which was an unusually long and
hard one the company had to
feed but four days, so the above
quantity of hay will be ample
for winter feeding. Last winter
guard against long hard seige.
Mr.. Cooper is an experienced
sheep man, having handled sheer
in this section of the country
for % years, and knows every
trick and turn in handling the
woody band, DIR. Green looks
after the business interests OF
the firm and is a competent anG
trustworthy businessman, and ht
and Mr.. Cooper make strong
working team and we .bespeah
for them the same splendid sue
cess in the future that they SC
richly enjoyed in the past.
The story of DR.. Green s strug
giles in the sheep business is very
unique. He started only fiv,
years ago with a small band o.
43 old ewes, which he took on /
debt, and instead of selling them
started to study their care ant
