ways felt sorry for Adam because there

been a paper there in those days it
would have given Adam warning that a
big snake was running around loose,
and put him on his guard against the
reptile and its famous apple stunt,
which caused Mr.. and Mrs Adam to be
dispossessed. Personally we do not
think that the family lost much by
moving away-any place with thirty
foot snakes fooling around an orchard
cannot be considered desirable place
of residence. A good newspaper would
have informed Adam where he could

OUTSIDE OF MOSCOW LEAY-
ING FOR HOME
Mrs. Walker of indianapolis Regard
ed as One of Strongest
Lecturers

There was a general exodus last
night and today of the several hun
dred teachers who were in attendance
this. week at the teachers joint insti-
tute of Latah, Nez Perce and Clear
water counties, which closed yester-
day afternoon with a strong and en-
tightening address by Frank e
Brown of the state college, Brook
ings, South Dakota. The superintend-
ents in charge were highly compli-
mented for the success of the insti-
tute.
The program for the week consist
ed of sectional meetings and general
assemblies. In the sectional meeting
work and problems were discussed
that were of interest to the primary
the intermediate, and the high-school
teachers. Able leaders were provided
and without a doubt the teachers in
the various departments received
many valuable suggestions. The SUI
perintendents' and principals sec
ton, which is continuous organiza
ton, met and discussed problems pc
culiar to that phase of school work.
In the general assemblies the fol-
lowing men and women gave interest
ing addresses which were instructive
not only to the teachers but to the
general public Charles Shaver,

COUGAR HUNTING
IN MOSCOW HILLS
People in the RawsOnville Section
VIII Hunt Down the Wild Animals
Sunday and Urge Moscow People to
Join the farmers in tracking the
Animals

RAWSONVILLE, Ida, Sept. 1S-
Especially A meeting of residents of
this vicinity was held at the old Raw
son mill Friday evening to devise ways
and means Of killing the cougar or
cougars infesting this neighborhood.
Aside from the experience of Frank
Hole, sheep, hogs and calves have dis
appeared mysteriously in the past 10
days, parts of the remains afterwards
being found in the timber about a
mile and half northeast of the old
mill. 1t was decided that as many
of the farmers as would meet at the
mill next Sunday at 2:30 p. m. and or
ganize a hunting party to try and
kill the animal. 1t was suggested that
an invitation be extended to any one
in Moscow that cares to come and par
ticipate in the hunt, as the farmers
are poorly provided with suitable
guns, and very few of them have dogs
trained to hunt
One of the largest cougars ever seen
by people in this locality has been
sighted every evening for the past six
days within a half mile of the same
spot, this being about a mile from the
old mill. AS most of the guns owned
by the farmers around here are shot
guns, it is hoped that some of the
hunters from Moscow will bring heavy
rifles The matter of offering re-
ward aside from the state bounty was
discussed, but as it was uncertain
whether there was only one or pair,
no definite action was taken, but it
seems pretty certain that suitable
reward will be paid to the man who
makes the lucky shot. Any one com
ing from Moscow should be at the old
mill by 2:30 prompt where they will
be met by those going from here.
