START CRUSADE AGAINST FLIES
State Sanitary Inspector Wallis Tells
Of Germs Spread By Flies.

Last Friday several hundred
pamphlets issued by State Dairy,
Food and Sanitary Inspector James
H. Wallis were distributed among
the school children of this vicinity
which were prepared with the view
of giving effective warning to the
young people of the state of the
dangers of allowing the fly pest to
increase. These books are being
and have been distributed among
pupils i'll all the schools of Idaho
and they treat of various subjects
in a manner most apt to attract
attention and do an incalcuable
amount of good in the way of
creating and stimulating interest
i'll the crusade against the com
monest of pests.
Science has demonstrated that
the house fly is a disseminator of
disease germs which are carried
from filthy, rotton and diseased
animal and vegetable matter to
the tables where human foods are
consumed and to the nursery arti-
cles of food of infants; they go from
one disease infested house to an
other and from the filthiest CON
ditions to the most clearly tainting
everything they touch with the
filth and disease through which
they have passed.

ment in both the wet" and

firm who shall knowingly ship OIL
cause to be shipped any intoxicat-
ing liquor to a dry place will be

there decided to sever his connec-
tons with the local church. He
will assume the pastorate of HE

speakers that Boomers Ferry has
ever had in its midst and it is to be
regretted that he could not see his
way clear to remain in this city.

SHEEP CRAZE ON
BOTTOM LANDS
F. M. 0linger Of Milton, Ore, Leases
900 Acres Near Porthill
For 1000 Sheep.
MANY SHEEP men INTERESTED
Sufficient Range For 100000 Sheep
in Kootenai Valley.

+. NJ. .Olinger, prominent stock
man of, Milton, Greg, has leased
900 acres Of bottom land, four miles
south of Porthill, from Jack Mont
gomcry which he will use, this
season, as range for his band of
1000 sheep Mr.. Olinger returned
to his Oregon home Wednesday to
begin to make preparations to
bring his band of sheep to this val
ley. Before leaving he stated that
a number of prominent sheep men
of the Walla Walla and Pendleton
districts were planning to come
here within the next few weeks to
buy or lease bottom lands for graz
ing purposes.
That the bottom lands of the
Kootenai valley furnish excellent
feed for sheep in the fall and winter
was demonstrated last year by
Colen Smith of Porthill. Mr.
Smith bought a small band of sheep
at the. Spokane Interstate fair last
fall and brought them to his ranch
near Porthill where he turned them
loose on the bottom lands. The
animals thrived on the rush hay
that abounds on Kootenai valley
bottom lands and according tc
statements made by Mr. Olingei
this week were fatter than any
sheep he had ever seen at this time
of the year
The interesting of the owners o
large bands of sheep in the grazing
posssbilities-of the bottom lands o.
this=Aistrict means a great deal tC
the Kootenai valley. According tC
conservative estimates there is suf
fcient range and hay in the Koot
enai, valley for over 100000 sheer
and the grazing lands which would
be suitable for sheep raising is use
less and. valueless until such tim,
as it can be successfully drained
A number of the ranchers of thu
Porthill and Copeland district
have announced that they intended
to engage in the sheep raising bust
ness on,a small scale and so utiliz
the bottom lands which have, s.
far. been of no value to them.
