Warden John w. Shook of the
Idaho penitentiary has proposed
to the state highway commission
the building of a north and south
auto road over the same route it
is hoped some day will be ira
versed by a railroad. The ward
en- says it is entirely feasible,
and that the work can be done
by convict labor.
A lone robber cracked the safe
of the Kendrick Store company
early Monday morning and car
ried off the strong box containing
$1,000 in notes, checks and cash.
The box was later recovered to-
gether with the notes and checks;
the burglar securing only about
5000 in cash. The burglar used
a heavy charge of powder in
blowing the safe and was injured
by the explosion as finger nail
and considerable blood was found
where he had been at work. 1t
is thought he will soon be cap
tured.
Senator Brady has announced
that unless he sells his handsome
residence in Boise, which has
cost him over $50, 900, he will
build an apartment house to con-
meet with it. The plans for the
apartment house call for a six
story building to be erected on
the vacant part of the senator's
large lot, and facing Warm
Springs avenue. A connection is
to be made with the home build
ing, used by the senator as his
residence while he was governor,
the idea being to make it a club
house for the occupants of the
apartments, who would have use
of the reception and other rooms.

ton of His Herd.

state Fair at Spokane and brought
back to the prairie two of the
finest hogs of the Poland China

The hogs were blue ribbon Win

and afidavits to prove to his
friends that the porkers are all
that he claims for them. The
male hog took first prize and
junior grand championship. He
is of the big medium and big
type, his sire weighing 900
pounds. The sow was in the
group of four that took first prize
on get of SOW and first on get of
boar and was Howard's pick out
of the four in the pen. Howard
is going into the pure bred Po-
land China hog business and be-
lieves in getting the best to head
his herd. Since acquiring the
above he will offer for sale the
boar he purchased at the Lewis
ton stock show two years ago,
Yocky's Wonder No. 2118O5, far
rowed May 1, 1918, which is a

above that build up the livestock
industry on Camas Prairie ano
Howard is to be congratulated or
having the nerve to get into the
game on the. right basis. Thai
he will make good on his stocl
goes without saying, for hos
raisers can just as we'll secure
their fine breeding stock at home

Good Money In Sheep

The Salmon river correspond
ent of the Grangeville Free Press
says:
That the sheep industry of the
Salmon river country is a remu-
nerative proposition, and a veri-
table scheme to "get rich quick,
may be inferred from the fact
that one of the smallest sheep
men of these parts, Henry Soards,
has realized $500 Of clean money
this year from a band of III
ewes. Mr.. Soards, who resides
contiguous to White Bird and
along the grassy slopes of the
Salmon river, has capital invest
ed in the sheep industry in the
small sum of about $500. The
entire band of 1T sheep cost Mr..
Soards approximately SIS per head
to start with. During the three
years he has owned the sheep
they have multiplied and produc-
ed enough wool to more than
treble the original cost to the
owner. In the spring of this
year practically everyone of the
ewes gave birth to one, II gave
twins and one multiplied by the
sum of four. The lambs produc-
ed were mostly big husky fellows,
and aside from the loss of ten by
accidents, he succeeded in raising
every one of the offsprings. A
few weeks ago he clipped the
wool from the older animals
which averaged II pounds to the
sheep and which sold at Is cents
per pound.
Last week he drove lOU hea0
of lambs to Fem station and re-
ceived 81 per head from the buy
er. Aside from this several dol
lars of mutton has been disposed
of. The expense of raising the
sheep was Indifferent as no herd.
er was necessary to, look after
them, and only couple sheer

The corn was planted the 18th

leavy rains delayed the planting
until that time. However, in
spite of this the corn matured
sufficiently before frost came to
make excellent feed and exactly
90 days from the time it was
Dlanted it was cut and put into
the silo. The capacity of the
silo, which really looks nothing
more than a large kraut barrel,
is ten tons and it took about Il
acres of this corn to fill it, or, in
other words, a yield of eight tons
Of corn silage to the acre was Sc
