Look Out For Them

From different parts of the
country come stories of a swindle
successfully worked on farmers
who thought they were going to
get cheap groceries. Two smooth
strangers went through the COM
munities taking orders for a
house in Chicago, pretending to
sell a standard brand of sugar
and flour so cheaply that every
farmer visited took from $40 to
$50 worth, and other things be-
sides. Because of the low prices
the flour and sugar had to be
paid in advance" tits alleged
that in one community the swind-
lers- picked up some $1,000 and
no groceries were delivered.

Forest HOmeSteadS Sit
ereaveS National Forest

During the month of January,
1915, total of 288 acres of land
within the Sitgreaves National
Forest, Arizona, were listed with
the Secretary of the Interior and
will shortly be opened to entry
under the Forest Homestead Act.
The lands thus listed were applied
for individually by four appli-
cants, and each one of these
tracts was examined by a Forest
Officer and found to be more val
liable for agriculture than for
Forest purposes.
Those whose applications with
in the Sitgreaves National Forest
were favorably acted upon dur
ing the month of January are:
L. E. Gardner, Woodruff, Ari-
zona, Lola Penrod, Pinetop, Ari-
zona, I. M. Turner, Winslow,
Arizona, G.. E. Owens, Snowflake,
Arizona.
In addition to this, 2144 acres
were listed to applicants within
other National Forests in Arizona
and 2069 acres within National
Forests in New Mexico.

General Forest N

1t is estimated that the govern
ment's Grand Canyon game ref
uge, in Arizona, now contains
about ten thousand deer.
More than nine million young
trees and ten thousand pounds of
seed were planted on the nation
al forests in 1914.
The government built more
than two thousand miles of
trail and three thousand miles of
telephone line on the national
forests in 1914.
At least 25 per cent of of the
larch timber over large areas in
eastern Oregon has been killed
or weakened by mistletoe, and
the forest service is taking steps
to combat the pest.
Success has followed forest
planting on the sandhills of Ne
braska. Jack pines planted by
the government forest service
ten years ago now have a height
of over Is feet and a diameter of
4 inches.
Increasing use of the national
forests by local farmers and set
tiers to supply their needs for
timber is shown in the fact that
small timber sales on the forests
numbered 8,288 in 1914, against
6, 1872 the previous year.

SAY MORGAN WAS vIcTIMlzED
Experts Claim Collection, for which
He Paid Large Sum, 10 OF
Trivial Worth.

According to a Cairo dispatch
published in Berlin, Germany, j. 2.
Morgan has been cleverly swindled
with a collection of Coptic manu-
scripts which he bought for $4,000.
The manuscripts had long been
hawked about for less than a tenth
Of that price, but had not found a
purchaser. Then it was acquired
very cheaply by an astute dealer who
laid scheme for a profitable deal.
With the aid Of an Egyptian Off
cial document was forged purport-
ing to show that the Egyptian gov
ernment had offered $4,000 for the
collection. Then the owner Of the
manuscripts went to Paris and Sc
cured a similar document, alleging
that the French authorities were
ready to pay like sum.
Armed with these weapons, the
man approached Mr.. Morgan's agent
and made the deal indicated above.
When the Egyptian authorities re-
ceived information that the official
was implicated he was dismissed.
Director Masners, of the Egyptian
museum, declares that although the
collection bought by Mr.. Morgan is
genuine, it is really of little value
and that the price is preposterously
high.

SMOKE WOULD NOT HURT HER.

The Big Four train from Dayton
was crowded coming to Indianapolis.
At Anderson a colored couple got
on the train, and after a vain effort
to find a seat the man opened the
door leading to the smoker, in which
there were several vacant seats. The
woman got inside the door before
she discovered that they were in the
smoker.
"This is the smoker. We don't
want to go in here" said her escort,

THE CURE FOR CRIME

Henry Ford, the automobile
manufacturer, thinks he h a S
solved the problem of crime.
AS he sees it, a criminal is a
criminal merely because ne
hasn't been taught to work
right. And so sure of his theory
is this practical philanthropist
that he maintains he could take
and reform every prisoner OF
any penal institution.
He points to the fact that he
has scores of ex-convicts work
ing in his factories in Detroit,
men with ''pasts'' of all sorts,
men guilty of all types of crimes,
who, under the stimulus of
steady, congenial work, respect
full treatment and liberal pay,
have become good citizens.
They are taken as they come,
he says. preference being given
to the home product of t h e
Michigan penitentiary. They
are encouraged to tell their rec
ord, and that record is kept con-
fidential. Their associates do
not know they bear the convict's s
brand. But if a man chooses
to conceal his past, and even his
name, it makes no difference.
He is taken anyhow, and given
a chance to recover his self
respect and his place in society.
Thus far, says Mr.. Ford, he has
not met with a single failure.
A New York newspaper man
submitted to him the cases of
'Dopey Benny" Fein, gang
leader, gunman, pick pocket,
highway robber, dope fiend,
horse poisoner, etc., arrested
many times, sent once to a
house of refuge, once to the
Elmira reformatory, twice to
Sing Sing, and now in t h e
Tombs awaiting another trip to
the penitentiary for extortion.
"Can you reform him." Mr..
Ford was asked.
THAT man ought to be taught
to work properly" he answered.
He ought to be shown the ben
efts of work. We could make
a man of him. f"
Crime is as old as civilization,
and prisoners are nearly as old.
And this man, with his simple
optimism and simple remedy,
sweeps away the whole ancient,
laundering system with a word.
Is he right? Is the cure for
crime merely the right sort of
work under the right conditions

has its origin back in the Pierce min
ing district. Geographically Orofino
is the natural outlet for vast en-
pire. The Missoula cutoff, the short
est route from the East, must event
ually place the town on the main
transcontinental line of the Northern
Pacific railroad, and proposed rail-
road to tap the forests to the east
must leave the main line at or near
Orofino. 1t is thus the natural bust
ness center of the county, and will
grow n commercial Importance as the
county develops.
The farming sections tributary to
Orofino are noted for their varied
crops and bountiful yields. Much of
the tributary agricultural areas are
adapted to the growing of corn and
beans, crops that enable the farmer
to avoid the costly practice of summer
following. Corn is now prominent
crop, and hogs and cattle are fast
coming into favor. Last fall, at the
Lewiston Charleston fair, Clearwater
county carried off sweepstakes and the
$3.50 prize for the best county or dis
trict display. This shows the super
Tor class and the vast variety of pro-
ducts. The soil around Orofino is rich
as soil is ever found, producing so
wonderfully in both quantity and
variety as to tax the credulity of
those who have not actually seen with
their own eyes. Corn, to heighth
of sixteen feet, has been grown near
the Northern Pacific depot in Orofino,
and pumpkins of amazing size grow
in unbelievable quantity. Grapes,
tomatoes, peppers, egg plants, sweet
potatoes, and many varieties of nuts,
grow and mature. No district can
excel the Orofino tomato for quality
and quantity, and our sweet corn is
unsurpassed.
u In grasses not only Orofino, but all
of Clearwater county ranks high.
Clovers do especially we'll. The
Orchard grass is especially we'll
adapted, and grows rank and prolific.
Its early maturing nature makes it
one of the best, affording early feed
and exceptionally early hay. Rye
hay. four feet tall, was cut near Oro-
fino in 1914 in May. The matured
rye, over feet tall, grew near Fra
ser, also in the valley at Orofino.

doubt, for it will be the natural sup
ply point for timbering operations,
which must eventually develop. The
town has shown its progressiveness by
recently building and equipping
splendid high school, and maintains
it at high state of efficiency. There
are two good general stores, with
such other lines of business represent
ed as are generally found in the coun-
try village. There is good saw
mill and a large quantity of first class
lumber in the yards.
Last year the people completed a
half mile track and put on big cele-
-bration July Fourth.
Special emphasis should be laid on
Weippe as the ideal summer resort.
Its forests of cool pine, its bubbling
sprinps of cool water, its inviting
trout streams, its ideal summer eli
mate, all combine to make it the sum-
mer resort that should attract hun
dreds of people Of the lower country
looking for pleasant place to camp
during the hot summer months.
FRASER
Is the name of fertile table land
extending from the top of the canyons
of Fords creek and the Clearwater
south and east for some distance, and
is really but a portion of the Weippe
prairies. The country is settled with
progressive farmers; it has public
school second to none found in any
rural district in the state, the Cotton
wood Consolidated being the first of
the kind in the county. Conveyance
is provided for large proportion of
the children, and the school property
is the pride Of the people Of that
neighborhood. Fraser itself consists
Of rural post Office, the mail coming
up daily by statge from Greer, the
nearest railroad station.
Originally the Fraser section was
generally heavily timbered, but today
much Of the land is under plow, the
country is in high state Of cultiva-
ton, with orchards and we'll improved
farms everywhere. The soil is deep
and rich, black loan that produces
abundant crops Of all the harder pro-
ducts. Grass, especially timothy,
grows perfectly, and oats are particu-
larly adated to the district. Fruit
does well. For vegetables it is not
excelled. Land is very reasonable,
and the homeseeker should take time
to look over this prairie.

INSPIRATION Of
THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford.

When you enter the agricultural de-
partment of the county fair you feel
your soul uplifted and your life takes
on new power-that is the inspira-
ton of the soil. You are OVERFLOW cred
by the grandeur and magnificence of
the scene-that is the spirit of the
harvest. You can hear the voice Of
nature calling You back to the soil
that Is opportunity knocking at your
door. 1t is good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and to sweet
en- your life with it's fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with it's power.
These products as food are fit for
the gods, and as an article of COM
merce they ought to bring tip-top
prices on any market in the world.
The products of the soil are teachers
and preachers as well. Their beauty
gives human life its first entertain
ment, their perfection stirs the genius
in artists; their purity furnishes mod
els for growth of character and their
marvellous achievements excite our
curiosity and we inquire into the won
derful process of nature.
Before leaving the parlor of agricul.
ture where nature is plrading in her
most graceful attire and science Is
climbing the giddy heights of perfec-
ton, let us pause and take a retro
spective view. How many of you
know that after these wonderful prod
ucts are raised, they can seldom be
marketed at a profit? Take the blush.
Ing Elberta. for eXample-they were
fed to the hogs by the carload last
year. The onion-the nations favorite
egetable-every year rots by the
acre in the Southwest for want of a
market and as result hundreds of
farmers have lost their homes. Cot.
ton-nature's apitalst-often goes
begging on the market at less than
cost of production.
1t is great to wander through the
exhibits while the band is playing
Dixie" and boast of the marvellous
fertility of the soil and pride ourselves
on our ability to master science, but
1t is also well to remember that there
is market side to agriculture that
does not reflect it's hardships in the
exhibits at a county fair.
