Circus Here and Gone

The Jones Bros. show, which
gave two performances here
Tuesday, drew quite a good
crowd, a number of people COM
ing in from the country with the
children in spite of the busy sea-
son of the year. The circus is
the same that made this town
two years ago and has not
changed to any extent since it's
former visit. AS is usual with
such shows this one was also out
after the money and secured it's
share here as elsewhere. The
sideshow and animals were a
frost but the work of the trained
dogs and ponies in the main tent
was good and the acrobatic
stunts, trapeze work and other
speclaltles compared very favor
ably with the same class of per-
formances in some of the larger
circuses. Taken all together, the
show was not half bad.

O.dfield Be At Lewiston Fair

A Lewiston special dated Aug.
"a says: If the present plans of
the lewiston Charleston fair as
sociation are consummated Bar
ney Oldfield, the daredevil holder
of the worlds record for speed
in an automobile, will be the CEN
tral figure about which a big rae
ing program for automobiles and
motorcycles will be constructed
for the week of September 20.
The automobile and motorcycle
races have already been made a
part of the regular race program
and special cash purses will be
offered for racing cars as well as
roadsters and touring cars. The
negotiations for Oldfeld are now
pending with conditions indicat-
ing that he will be secured for
daily exhibitions in races against
time.
An exhibit of automobiles and
supplies will be made here by
manufacturers and agents, the
fair association offering free
space for this purpose and the
generosity of the association has
resulted in the manufacturers
and agents giving assurance that
they will do all in their power to
make the race meet here a big
success.
This will be the first time that
automobile or motorcycle races
have been held in this section of
the country and the fair associa-
ton feel that this will be one of
the biggest drawing cards on the
speed program.

Whitman of the Clearwater
meadows, H. H. Dybrig has,rais-
ed small field of oats of wonder
full richness and size. Mr.. Whit
man says that he measured sew
eral of the oat heads and that
they were 81 inches in length.
He pronounces them to be the
biggest heads he has ever seen.
Mr.. Dybrig is preparing an ex-
hibit of the oats to be sent to
Frisco for the 1915 fair as another

Hog Cholera In Idaho

Reports from southern Idaho
indicate that the hog cholera is
rapidly spreading and also that
it is travelling down the principal
water courses. This would indi-
cate that all points along the
Snake river are liable to contract
the contagion since the first loss
es occurred in the Twin Falls
country and now cases have ap-
peared all along the line and as
far north as Caldwell and even
near to Payette. In spite of con-
tinued efforts on the part of the
state veterinary's Office it has
been impossible to check the
steady advance of the epidemic
and judging from the speed with
which it is reaching various vi
entities it will not be long before
it appears here. For this partic-
ular reason Deputy State Veteri-
marian Ray Hurd, of Payette,
came to Weiser the latter part of
the week and made investiga-
tions to determine whether or
not any cases existed in the val
ley. None were reported and it
is the hope of the official that the
disease may be stamped out.
Veterinarian Hurd advised local
farmers and particularly hog
raisers to be on the lookout and
report the first symptoms that
come to their notice. -Weiser

Ninety Bushel Yield

E. L. Martin, who was in town
Monday in his auto from his
ranch near Winona, informed the
Globe reporter that he has just
completed threshing 100 acres of
barley which made an average of
80 bushels to the acre. He also
has ninety acres of wheat that
will average SO bushels. This is
about the best barley yield from
a large field that has come to our
attention this season, and it is
good enough to make them take
notice in any country. Just think
about it, if you will, a farmer
riding into town in his automobile
and announcing such a yield of
grain as the above. What coun-
try can head off such signs of
substantial prosperity, or offer
better reasons for happiness and
contentment? None, none, breth-
rem, this side of paradise, and
some of you would be taking a
long chance in trying to make
the exchange. That's why 80
many of US are satisfied on Camas
prairie. -Grangeville Globe.

Will SELL
SCHOOL LANDS
State Land Agents are Ready
to Sell Lands in Central
Counties---2,OOO Acres in
This County.

State Land Agent w. E. Dag
gett stated yesterday that ap-
pralsement of school lands in
Latah, Clearwater, Idaho, Koote-
nal and Bonner counties had been
completed and he is daily expect
ing notice as to the dates when
public sales will be called. In
Latah county sales will be con-
Quoted at Moscow and Boville.
At Boville $3.50 acres of logged
off lands will be offered, while at
Moscow 1,500 to 1000 acres of
general school land will be offer
ed. At Orofino about 300 acres
OF Clearwater lands will be offer
ed, and at Grangeville about
1000 acres of Idaho county lands
will be sold. Two thousand acres
will be offered in Bonner county
and 1,500 acres in Kootenai. Mr..
Daggett states that usually the
sale dates are fixed about 80 to
50 days from the date of issuance
OF the notice, so these coming
sales will likely be held about the
first of October.
Mr.. Daggett states that last
year about 1900 acres of logged
off lands were sold in the Boville
country and the land brought the
appraised price of $40 an acre.
This is land on which the timber
companies some years ago bought
the timber, and with the timber
removed the lands revert to the
ownership of the state.
Last night State Land Agent
Ben Bush reached here and he
will accompany Mr.. Daggett to-
day to the Black Pine section of
Craig mountain to appraise the
timber of the section. Except
for 40 acres, purchased some
time ago by Henry Harzell, now
deceased, this tract embracing
the Black Pine cabin, the state
owns the section, so will have
600 acres to offer. There have
been filed with the land boaed
several applications for the pur-
chase of 40-acre tracts within
the section. The section is locat-
ed a short distance from the top
of the Waha grade, and the sur
vey for the Johnson railroad ira

Il am highly indignant and in

at the utter unfairness of the
members of the state board of
equalization. | feel sure the peo-
pie OF the state who by their
votes gave these men their con-

be highly gratified at the appar-

have its influence in the business

senator, I'VE gave the sum of
