MANY ARE GOING AFTER DEER.
Parties of Hunters Leaving for Their
Favored Hunting Spots Every Day.

The colder weather with the atten-
dant snow fall has sent the hunters
forth into the mountains during the
past ten days or so in quest of deer
and other big game. The snow back
in the mountains has driven the deer
to the lower lands and from now on the
sport win be at its best. Some of the
outgoing hunters choose for their
favorite spots for hunting, The Cove
which is not far from Grangeville.
Some go up near White Bird station.

THE INSTRUCTORS.
ONE OF BEST STATE SCHOOLS
Prof. Reed Lived Here as Young Man
"A Brother and Sister Reside
in this County.

Professor Miles F. Reed, president of
the Idaho Technical Institute of
Pocatello, Idaho, who as a representa-
tive of the State Department of Edu-
cation, has been travelling over the
state on trip of inspection of the
high schools of the state, was in
Grangeville the latter part of last week
and visited the local school Friday
when he addressed the student body at
high school assembly.
In an interview with the Free Press
representative Mr.. Reed stated that
he was very favorably impressed with
the high school facilities in Grangeville
and with the general splendid condition
of the school. Zone of the best build
ings in the state' is the expression
Prof. Reed used in speaking of the
school building, and "well equipped as
far as the instructors have been able
to GO
He was also pleased with the work
being done by the teaching force of
the school and among the needs he
stated that equipment was needed for
training in manual arts, including
bench work and also better facilities
for physical education. AS a whole
Professor Reed veHifies the assertion of
residents of Grangeville and of the citi-
zen of the county who send their chill
dren here to school that this city has
one of the best schools in the state and
that the work being done is excep-
tionally good.
Mr.. Reed made an address at the
Presbyterian church Sunday evening.
He lived here as young man and was
a graduate of the old @, r; G. Academy
under Prof. Levi Magee. His brother,
William f. Reed lives on the Joseph
Plains and is one Of the respected citi-
zens of Idaho county. He also has
sister, Mrs. j. L. Addison, who lives

residents of Idaho county. So on the

BUSINESS MEN OF GRANGEVLLE
AND sToCKMEN OF COUNTY
FEEL ASSISTANCE DUE LEW
IsToN BUSINESS MEN.

The Officers of the Northwest Live
stock association are engaged every
day now in cooperation with the cltl-
zens of Lewiston and a few progressive
farmers and stoekmen of outlaying sec
tions tributary to Lewiston in perfect
ing plans and arrangement for the bIg
livestock show which will be held In
Lewiston from November 30 to Decem-
Der 4. The magnitude of this show and
its success coupled with the beneflts
which have resulted to the livestock
industry in this section have made it a
source of pride.
Although the show has been tea
ture of great worthsand value, especial
ly in section where the livestock in
dustry predominates, and although the
fight has been strenuous and placed on
comparatively few shoulders, the show
has been staged every year up to the
present time with the idea ever in minc
in making it permanent institution
The burden however is heavy. Si'
years ego the Northwest Livestock As
sociation was born in Grangeville an
from that start has growl to one of tn
largest in the country. From year t
year the business men of Lewiston hav
raised one half of the total cost of tn
show which amounts to about $1,000
annually. The city gets one half o
the gate receipts which amounts t

in comparatively small area where
the game could reproduce unmolested
and form feeder for the adjacent
areas of wild country. '
There is no doubt in my mind but
that central Idaho could be made the
haven of big game hunters of the Unit
ed States which means a great source
of income for the State and the set
tiers in the game country.
The various geological zones passed
through on this trip proved of great
interest, the alluvial formations of the
Salmon valley, the granite of Black
canyon, and the basaltic formation of
the Snake river canyon all contributing
to the grandeur of the scenery.
Indications of valuable mineral were
everywhere in evidence and almost all
places showing signs of having been
proseptced in the years past. The
rusted and rotted remains of mining
machinery and fumes were common
sights particularly in the upper and
lower sections of the river vain at
tempts to unearth natures wealth

so DECIDED AT MEETING OF
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
IN BOISE SATURDAY-PRE
LIMINARY CAMP AT
HIGGINS

= Boise, Idaho, November IA, 1915
The north and south state highway
will be built far as is possible by
convict labor thereby connecting the
northern and southern sections of this
state with road than can stand heavy
travel and which will be safe from one
end of the year to the other. This was
the decision reached at meeting of
the state highway commission held
Yesterday with Secretary of State Geo.
r. Barker at which there were present
Chairman Brodhead of Mackay and
Commissioner Van Sicklin of Weiser
together with State Highway Engineer
Booth. The decision is of the utmost
importance for it is the initial step to
wards making the connecting link be
tween the north and south and will
precede the building of the railroad or
which the north and south railroad
commission is now working.
Consider Step Important.
The highway commission was unani
: nous in its decision to start convict
to work on the north and south road
The work will commenced on or abou
Jan l, 1916. As large crew of con
viets as it is safe to work at one tim
will be removed from the state peni
tentiary to Higgins in Idaho count.

about $4,000. This sum may seem small
to the average observer but it should
be understood that while the atten-
dance is great the bylaws of the as
sociat IN provide for the free admis-
sion of all OF its members to the show
and as a large number of those attend
ing are members of the assocition the
gat. receipts are naturally small. Out
of this is taken expenses for staging
the show. In past years county COM
mis- sioners appropriated. sums ranging
from $2500 to $4,000, business houses
have donated literally and there have
zen some liberal donations from few
o.her sources. A court ruling has de
prived the show of the aid of appro-
priations and no help can be expected
from the ether source.
This leaves the financial end of the
show in a precarious condition and this
year Lewiston has pledged itself to
raise $4,000 to make to show possi-
bility. The burden is great and al
though Lewiston will raise that amount
as pledged, yet the future cannot prom
ise as much. 1t would be regrettable IL
such an institution of so much benefit
in a livestock section such as this
would become thing of the past. lt
should be perpetuated.
In view of the fact that this CON-
munity has been the originator of the
show and shares in the benefits which
are greater than realized by many, the
, view has been taken that it is due
