unless lands are offered them at prices
such that they can make reasonable in

wEIDER-DECEAsED.

Charley Clyde Weder, succumbed to
long lasting illness last Friday. He
was born at Carthage, Ill. and came to
6rangeville some years back from
kalispel, Montana. He engaged in
farming here until sickness prevented
him from doing any work whatever.
He was affected with heart trouble.
He leaves a wife and two children, a
mother Mrs. 8. L. Wieder, five brothers
and one sister. His brothers are living
up in Canada and were unable to get
here to be at the funeral services held
in the Christian church last Sunday.
A sister, Mrs. Susie Mccain Of Chicago
arrived here about ten days ago to visit
her sick brother and is still here. The
deceased was a member of the Wood
men of the World. Mr.. Wieder has
been resident of Grangeville for
several years and is held in the esteem
of Grangeville people. The sympathy
of the community goes forth to the
bereaved family and relatives.

and non-supporta Instead good will,
how much can be gained by knocking
loyalty to the school and cooperation
will overcome many difficulties which
look insurmountable.
Though the school has lost some good
teachers who have gone to fill better
positions, yet we feel sure that the
corps now employed is up to the aver
age. This much, too, can be said.
Never has such care been exercised in
the selection of teachers. Many appli-
cations have been under consideration,
and as an evidence of careful selection
is the fact that only recently the board
employed the last two teachers. This
delay was to permit time for there in

that we have the very best teachers

land.
Mr.. Perkins is dairying He sells n,
grain, although he raises some fin,
crops. He feeds everything and sell,
the animal products. His butter sale,
exceed the cash income Of may grair
farmers who are farming much more
land, and who therefore have much
larger capital invested.
1t would be worth while for the bust
ness men of Grangeville to go out and
see Mr.. Perkin IS farmer / should say
the farm of the Perkins family-foi
Mrs. Perkins and the boys are as much
part OF the establishment as Mr.
Perkins himself
Holstein cows are being bred-that is
the common stock cows are being re.
placed with Holsteins as fast as the
young stock can be grown to replace
old ones.
Perkins is raising corn. Look at that
corn field and you will be convinced
that corn can be grown on Camas prai-
rie.
The Northern Pacific is interested in
the development of the best system of
agriculture. Last year ! visited Mr..
Perkins, and promised to send him some
seed corn it he would plant it and take
care of it, to see how it would succeed
His crop would look well in Iowa or
Illinois. Mr.. Perkins is proud of his
success and I want to say that the
Northern Pacific is also proud of what
Mr.. Perkins has accomplished. Last
years corn land sowed in wheat this
year yielded as bushels per acre.
Another farm that interested me is
that of J. d. Long, 3 or miles south
east of the city under the lee of the
mountain. Mr.. Long who planted some
corn sent him from the development
department of the Northern Pacific.
Although his crop was cut down by
frost in June and hit by hail in July,
still it is a fine field of corn. The
family had fine roasting ears from it
for dinner today.
This corn will almost certainly
mature so as to make grand seed. BY
planting the best ears year after year,
in a short time there can be splendid
corn bred to suit Camas Prairie con-
ditions.
Mr.. Long is another farmer who sells
his grain and other farm crops in the
form of butter and cream. Like Mr..
Perkins, Mr.. Long does not have to
help his neighbors thresh. He works
on his own farm caring for his own
farm caring for his own cows and hogs,
and I will venture to say is making
more money and enjoying life more
than half of the grain farmers who
have larger acreage and more capital
invested and more to worry about.
Mr.. Long breeds short horns. He
believes in what is sometimes called the
" dual purpose COW that is, the
breed that will give good quantity of
milk and still produce good beef.
Now, | want to say that in my hum
BILE Judgment that if there were more
farmers like Perkins and Long on the
Camas Prairie, that it would be far
better for Grangeville. There could
easily be three times the present num-
Der of farmers, and all make as good
profits as those who are here now are
making.
And / just wish to say further that
the Northern Pacific is doing all in its
power to induce immigration into this
territory. But it is going to be a hard
matter to get good farmers to move in
to this country unless land can be
bought. for reasonable prices.
Some of your people have got their
prices set too high for the good of the
