Gentlemen;- Your Committee ap-
pointed to investigate the cost and
advisabndty OF establishing Kinder
garten schools In connection with
the Public Schools OF Payette, sub

OF our findings:
The investigation has been made
A2ong the following lines
1. What Is conservative estimate

OF districts In Idaho.
The total enrolment of the First
Primary Gades this year Is 81. The
law establishes the ages from three
to six as Kindergarten age. Assum-
ing that there are approximately the

companies to submit to the one de-
cided upon to show their good faith
in working in cooperation with the
commission to establish a fair uni
fermity in rates to be charged con-
sumers. The Idaho Power & Light
company is said to claim the new
schedule means loss Of frcm $40 coo
to $4,000 per annum and the Great
Shcshone company claims it means
a loss to that corporation of 35 per
cent. Others of the five corporations
claim their loss will be heavy,
In Effect Immediately
The new schedule goes into effect
Immediately and the March bills WIN
be compiled in accordance with it.
1t IS subject to amendment or re-
vision at any time by order of the
commission, but to all intents and
purposes is to be. permanent.
The minimum charge for all cl3sses
of service under the new schedule
for all companies is 81. AL charges,
including minimum, are subject to
10 per cent discount if paid on or
before the 10th day of each month !
and no discount after the 10th of
each month, except in PocateIo, |
where charges are subject to 10 per
cent discount if paid ON or before |
the 18th of each month The rates !
are to be effective as to all existing |
and future contracts as if especially
written in them.
New Rates Specified.

fled in the schedule but is iHcludet

Klamath Falls Busy
On Crater Lake Road

A klamath Falls press dispatch
says that a permanent boulevard
from Weed California through the
Butte Valley and Klamath Falls to
Crater Lake is being discussed with
much enthusiasm-especially in the
California towns along the proposed
route. The dispatch says further
that provision has already been made
in Siskiyou county to appropriate
$4,000 of the next road bond issue
for the building of this road TO the
Oregon state line--and adds that in
case the project is undertaken in Cal
ifornia, there is every assurance that
Klamath county will build the road to
klamath Falls. II is asserted also
that this will afford a better route
for autoists to travel from California
to Oregon, than the one being built
over the Siskiyous. Jud Ager-well
known in Northern California and
Southern Oregon as a good roads
romoter--opposes the road on the
grounds that thirty miles Of it would
pass through the property OF the
Weed Lumber Company.

Took $1,000 Cash
Home; Robbed

Sid NJ Nichols, former proprietor
of a grocery store at North Front
street, Medford, cashed check for
$1,900.95 at the Jackson County
Bank Thursday afternoon, given by
Ulrich & Ryan in payment for his
stock and fixtures. The entire
amount was in $40 gold pieces and
filled the regulation $4,000 money
bag. He took the money home, 1876
North Front street, and put it in a
bureau drawer in a room adjoining
where he slept.
Friday morning about 4 o'clock,
Nichols says, he heard a noise. He
leaped from bed, rushed to the bu-
reau and his money was gone. The
only clues were a half-opened front
door and the empty money sack on
! the floor.
All that is known is that the thief
went unerringly to the hiding place,
without disturbing anything else, and
located the money at once, proceeded
leisurely to take it out OF the sack
and departed for parts unknown.
The thief is regarded by the police
as being a master at his business ant
well acquainted with the habits o
Nichols and the fact that he drew
the money from the bank. A strik
ingly peculiar circumstance is tn
fact that the robber took the pain
to empty the gold coins into bai
of his own, something of job TO

nal operation, and discarded the orig

Negotiations on for
Big Timber Tract

The real truth in regard to the
mysterious party of timber cruisers
who outfitted at Ashland last week
is that they are cruising the timber
on the Hopkins estate for capitalists
at st. Paul Minnesota who have been !
negotiating for the tract for several !
years.
Several years ago an Ashland man
went back to LockhayeD Pennsyl-
vania and labored for three weeks
with Albert Hopkins in an effort to
secure written contract for the sale
of this tract. He was successful and
had the sale of the timber until Mr..
Hopkins died early in 1912. The
Ashland man came very near selling
the tract to the people who are now
about to close deal for it. The par
ticular reasons for cruising the tim
Der right now are two.
In the first place timber is report
ed by all local dealers to be looking
up. Inquiries from the east are num-
erous. Coast lumbermen also report
a stimulation Of the numbering indus
try especially along lines that have to
do with the manufacture of boxes
and crates to handle the great fruit
crops now in prospect. The Weed
Lumber Company, for instance, eX-
poets lively season along this line.
Another reason for the rush order
in cruising is that the St. Paul COM
pany-having decided to buy-wish'
es to know how much timber has
been lost through pine beetle devasta'
ton and its eradication-als by fire
etc. A few years make quite
, change in the cruisers figures in this
regard-also there is gain il
>, growth. 1t is not uncommon also
in big deals-to cruise tract severa
times with different men and form
o Judgment by a careful comparison o
=, the figures.
= That the Hopkins estate of 1918
= acres will soon change ownership
assured. That the tract will be logSe
. at once and the timber worked Il
into lumber, in view of general actiN
ity on the coast, seems equally Gel
tain. This means work in Souther
Oregon for hundreds of men and
a source of qualification. The ere

Make Use OF Rainy Days.

We have had too much rain re-
recently, and this has thrown
many of the farmers behind with
their work. At some time dur
ing the spring we always have
too much rain, and it would
serve us mighty well If we would
eluay keep this in mind and
prepare for it the best we can.
During the good weather we can
make note of good many odd
jobs that we can do on rainy
days. By making a list of
them we will soon find that the
rainy days come in profitably
and the time is not lost.
During wet weather the grass
and weeds grow rapidly and are
hard to kill. Use the harrow
cross-wise of the rows on the
rows of corn and cotton after
the plants are up. Do not start
the harrow early in the morn
ing, but wait until nine or ten
o'clock. The young plants are
tougher after the sun shines on
them awhile, and will not break
down so easily. Do not pillow
when the ground is too wet. 1t
IS time thrown away, and often
does more harm than good. Bet
ter use the hoe than pillow when
the ground is wet. 1t is costlier,
but pays the best. Hoe-made
corn is high-priced corn, but it
is better than no corn at all.
Plant some cow peas, velvet
beans or soy beans this month.
If you can't plant this month,

month. Set aside the land Tor
one or more Of these crops. 10
not forget the sorghum patch,
either. 1t is needed to make
molasses and also to furnish
good pasture for hogs later on.
Cow peas and sorghum together
make a good hay crop. The sor-
qhum doesn't benefit the Il
but the COW pea, the velvet bean
and soy bean do. The two latter
add lots of nitrogen to the soil,
and that is the costliest element
required to make rich soil. Ev-
cry farm should have a potato
patch. After the potatoes are
dug do not let the land lie idle,
but plant it to another crop.
Several crops can be grown after
potatoes. IF in doubt about
what to try, fall back on the old
reliable COW pea. Every farm
should have either alfalfa or
clover on it. 1t is not every
farm that will grow alfalfa, but
most of them will grow some OF
the clovers. Prepare some land
for clover and SOW it this fall.
You can do no better than try
some bur clover. Alsyke clover
is good for wet land, is good for
pasture and hay, Crimson clover
is a soil builder that is hard to
equal and makes a fine crop.
By all means take care of the
calves and pigs. There are few
err cattle in Arkansas today than
for the past twenty-five years
This is a fact. You know what
it means. Keep the cows anc
heifer calves especially. We neee
them for breeding purposes. One
acre of Arkansas land can bt
made to sustain one head OF cat
tie, and yet we haven't an aver
age of one head to every forty
acres. The Lord gave the In
Junction to his people to "'multl
|ply and replenish the earth. A
a Christian people we are obedi
ent to this command, and Sc
Arkansas is a land of babies
Now all we need to make ant
keep this a land of milk ant
honey" is to supply the milk
Hence one of the demands fol
more and better cattle.
