Thinks Camas Prairie Best Yet.

E. D. Lamb returned home
Tuesday morning from attending
the state grand lodge session of
Odd Fellows at Twin Falls.
While away he visited several of
the irrigated tracts in that part
of the state and returned by way
of Meadows and the Salmon riv-
er. He saw some fine country
while away but says none of it is
any better than Camas prairie.
Down in the Walla Walla coun-
try land that will not produce a
bit more than our soil here is
selling for from 500 to $3.50 an
acre and farmers leasing land
get as high as $14 an acre for
summerfallowed land and Sill an
acre for stubble ground. Camas
prairie farmers will do we'll to
hang onto their land for they
will not be able to buy land any
where near as good elsewhere
for twice the price.

$3,265 from 60 Acres.

Ben Whealdon delivered a load
OF timothy seed to the Union
Warehouse last week which
brought him 81, 400, and had he
received the current market price
for his freight he would have
pocketed check for 81, 300. Mr..
Whealdon has received 1926
from sixty acres of timothy which
ne contracted early in the sea-
son. Since then the price has
gone up to such a figure that
were he to receive today's price
for the products from this sixty
acres it would be nearer $4,000.

this year and his pockets are

Kill Deer In Town.

Deer and bear are said to be
coming down from the hills and
for what purpose no one seems
to know unless it is to create ex-
citement among "bull's-eye" hit
ters. A couple of deer wandered
into the yard of Gus ]. Wright
Monday morning and there was
something doing. Heavy guns
shelled the timid-eyed guests
which surrendered and gave up
the ghost. The principal gun
ners were Preston and Rice.
Mrs. Wright went after one deer
with a broken leg that had been
chased into a wire-fence by pet
dog, succeeded in catching it by
a leg, but we didn't learn wheth-
er she is directly responsible for
its death. Anyhow, she was in
the battle. White Bird Sentinel.

CLAY MAKES
GOOD BRICK
Sample Test From Monastery
Farm Shows Excellent
Results.

The idea has been prevalent in
this section for a number of years
that good brick could not be made
from clay in this part of the
county but we are glad to say
that the idea has been entirely
exploded within the past few
weeks. Some time ago Rev.
Father Berthold sent a sack Of
clay, taken from the Monastery
from west of town, to Spokane
for analysis and had made from
it about a dozen brick to see
what the clay would produce.
The result was both astonishing
and gratifying, for some of the
finest brick ever seen were re-
turned to him as products of the
clay submitted for testing. One
of these samples can be seen in
our front window and we can
say that we have seldom, if ever,
seen any finer specimen of the
brick makers craft.
The brick stand the govern
ment test for wearing quality
and in the absorption test show
less than one-half of one per cent
of moisture. They take on an
excellent color and weigh Al
pounds each. The average weight
of standard size brick runs from
Al to 5 pounds. Competent au-
thority pronounces them equal to
or superior to either Spokane or
Lewiston brick.
The only reasons why good
brick have not been made here
in the past are that the proper
machinery has not been used and
the clay not properly treated.
It will be good news indeed to
the public to know that high
brick can be made here
and we understand the yard will
be put in operation again next
spring, with the proper machin-
.ry installed, and will probably
,perate steadily in future.

GOES HIGH
Sale of Heirship Tracts Last
Week Brought Out Many
Buyers.

Prices ranging as high as 500
an acre were realized at the sale
here yesterday of Indian heir
ship lands conducted by Indian
Agent Sharpe, says a dispatch
from Lapwai to Fridays Tribune.
There were many sealed propos-
ais received for the tracts offered
and a large delegation of farmers
and other prospective purchasers
were present. Only two tracts
of those advertised were not
sold. The sales made. the pur-
chasers and prices received were
as follows:
To Harding & Wallace, of Nez-
perce, 80 acres on Craig mount
ain, So, 100.
To Edison Briggs, of Lewiston,
80 acres on Tom Beall creek,
$2,251.
To William Bozarth, of Guide
sac, 40 acres on Garden gulch,
$1,657.
To Charles R. Little, of Julia
eta, 80 acres six miles south of
Nezperce, 81, 200.
To R. H. Wallace, of Vollmer,
80 acres on Craig mountain,
$1,815.
To E. ]. Howerton, of Ilo, 80
acres north of Vollmer, $4, 700.
To T. H. Bartlett, of Lewiston,
25 acres on Lapwai creek, $2,-
552.55.

in the Winona section, 81, 76O.
To John Wells, of Orofino, 40
acres of pasture near Orofino,
$685..
To John Kennedy. of Culdesac,
80 acres on Tom Beall creek,
$4,292.
To S. L. Wahl, 80 acres on
Catholic gulch, $3,0O7.
All the tracts sold at higher
prices than the appraised figure,
and Agent Sharpe is well pleased
with the sale. Under the method
of sale of heirship lands, a check
in the sum of 10 per cent of the
amount of the bid accompanies
the proposals. This is retained
until the department can confirm
the sale and authorize the issu-
ance of the deeds, when the pur-
chaser must pay the balance, the
transactions being on a cash
basis. Usually a period from
thirty days to three months
elapses before final transfer can
be made.

NEzPERCE WON
AT FOOT BALL
Heavy Well Trained Players
From Reservation Town
Prove Too Much for Local
Team.

Inc Ioot Dall game played here
last Saturday between the local
nigh school eleven and the Nez.
perce high school team lat least
1t played under that name, al
though it is said four of the
players were not high school
boys) resulted in a decisive vic.
tory for the visitors, the score
standing 80 to 6 in Nezperce's
favor at the end of the last half.
The game opened with kick
off by Nezperce and at the first
down, with the ball we'll up
toward Cottonwood's goal, Craig
skirted Nezperce's right end for
a touch down. Robertson kick
ed goal, score 6 to 0 in favor of
Cottonwood. Then followed
several mass plays after which
Nezperce scored another touch
down and kicked a goal, evening
the score. The visitors scored
another touchdown before the
half ended, placing them in the
lead by five points.
In the second half Nezperce
worked the forward pass and
end runs effectively and scored
repeatedly, while the home team
did not seem able to hold them
on the line or break up their
perfect team work.
The visitors were strong on
the line and had their team
work down to a fine point which
gave them no small advantage in
the game. While none of their
players showed exceptional abili-
ty their playing as a unit ac-
complished much during the
game. For the locals Housh,
Craig and Moore did the most of
the work and, had they been
given proper support, would
have made the game a close one.
Cottonwood was weak on the
line and in interference and did
not hold together on defensive
plays. Several fumbles and
faulty passes also proved costly,
but when it is considered that
this was the first game this sea-
son, that three of the players
had never been in a game before
and that their opponents were
heavier by several pounds each,
the result is not 80 much of a
and the loss of the game
is no serious disappointment.
The local team were to go to
Lewiston this morning to play
the Normal team at that place
this afternoon but, owing to the
were unable to go. They
will play the return game with
Nezperce at a later date.
