Pay Big Sums
For BOuntiUS

Splendid work was done this
year in bringing all the schools
III the state in working harmony.
This was in good measure due to
the fine spirit shown by the coun-
ty superintendent. Though
them the state office has been
able to keep in close touch with
the conditions in the counties.
Either the Commissioner or the
State superintendent has attend
cd all institutes and conventions.
Representatives of the state edu-
cational institutions have done
good work also in attending these
gatherings, not as representa-
tives of their own institutions,
but as representatives of the
State Board of Education.
This fixed policy of coopera-
ton makes it possible to unite
and concentrate educational
forces of the entire state upon
the great problems and tasks of
education. Here are three of the
vital points:
Better Rural Schools. To this
end the State Department is is
suing a handbook for rural teach
ers; it is also preparing plans
and specifications for model one
and two room school houses.
High School Work. This is
being adapted to the actual needs
of Idaho young people. 1t means
more attention to vocational
work, particularly in agriculture
and ecomnomic and civic train
ing. Study Of foreign languages
has been made optional and the
requirements in antural and So
cial sciences have been doubled
Standard high schools are alsC
required to offer at least two
years of vocational work.

That Idaho is still a wild ami

fact that a total of $3.50 coyotes
wild cats, bears lynx, wolves and

claims for many more species in
the wild sections of the Gem
state. To slaughter this num-
Der of animals it has cost the
state so far this year s46,52i.50
and there are still more bounties
to be paid.
By far the greatest number of
any particular species of preda-
tory animal killed were coyotes.
No less than 1920 of them were
lbagged by prosperous hunters,
who Immediately made demand
on the state for the $3.50 bounty
allowed for each pelt while they
were left the pelts to dispose OF
as they saw fit.
The fact that the pelts or skins
of these animals sell readily foI
good prices questions the wis

We stopped on the first bridge,
spellbound at the sight before us.
A huge boulder, moss-covered
and green, obstructs the progress
of this river as it comes rushing
down the mountain side, divides
it. and sends it laundering many
feet below, leaping foaming,
where again it unites. AS early
as it was the people were out
fishing, filling their baskets with
fine mOutain trout. Farther
on the walls narrow and the
river flows through a rocky chan
mel or gorge and emergss in a
succession of falls or cascades.
The great volume of water strikes
on the rocky ledge below with
such force that you can see moth
ing but foam and spray, then
goes leaping to another ledge and
then another. Soon the river
begins to widen and we enter a
broad, beautiful, fertile valley,
with a profuse growth and flowers
and fine maple trees. l forgot
to say that the most wonderful
fall of all was the Snoqualmie,
where an enormous body Of water
drops a full 276 feet.
Close TO the river in clump of
maple trees we stopped for our
dinner. From a rancher nearby
! we bought a fine chicken, thick
rich cream, and fresh vegetables,
While I fried the chicken Doctor
picked enough wild blackberries
for our dinner. Would you care
for anything better? We could
not but think of this fine road
over the Cascades, which only one
short year ago was narrow, steer
and almost impossible.
There is a fine highway lead
ing from here to Seattle. Il
seemed to us that all the autos
in the state of Washington mus
be on this particular drive, blu
arriving in the city we found jus
as many more. Seattle has
many miles Of city boulevards
hundreds of miles of fine automo-
bile roads leading all directions
from the city. | think it has 81
beautiful parks, all connected b.
fine bOulevards. The one WI
felt most interested in was Uni
versity Park, for it was here w
had visited the Alaska YukOl
Exposition in 1909. We enjoyed
once more the walks and drive
winding among borders of greel
grass, large beds of flowers o
every kind and color; fountain
and shrubbery. Some of tn
exposition buildings still renal
here, donated to the Universit
Of Washington.
Another interesting trip alsC
is that to the San Juan Islands i
Pugent Sound, said to rival tn
1000 Isles of the st. LawerenC

Oregon College Boy
Earns Good Money

o. A. c. Press Bulletin Edward
F. Underwood, of Boyd, Ore, earned
total of $1219.47 during a six
year college course at o. A. c., a
sum within 500 of the entire cost
of the course, including travelling
and incidental expenses. The aver
age cost was 1920 year, or $3.50
for regular four-year course.
Mr.. Boyd entered college in 1910,
to take the last two years of the
high school course in the secondary
department then carried at o. A. G..
During the first year he boarded
and his entire expense was 1910.
The next year he batched and reduc-
ed his expenses to $275. He then
entered the degree course in agri-
culture, which he completed last
June with bachelor degree.
He earned his expenses by work
ing at the college and in the fields
during the summer. He worked on
school days an average of three and
half hours a day, and on Satur-
days eight hours, aggregating about
100 hours a month. He received
Ok nantc an hour making from son
to s21 a month.
Since graduation he has been
offered numerous positions at 500
a month, or more. One of these he
has now accepted.
He was a member of the Amicus
club during his later college work
and thus had the advantage of more
economical living and friendly, help

1000 Farmers
Wanted in Portland

One thousand Oregon, Washington
and Idaho farmers are wanted in
Portland this week. It is believed
their presence will have an influence
on locating the federal land bank.
Following the visit here of Frank
R. Wilson, representing the infor-
nation department of the federal
land bank, strenuous efforts were
begun yesterday to interest farmers
in attending the hearing to be held
at the postoffice building next We'd
nesday morning.
Letters were sent to all the mast
ers of state oranges and to many
members of the Farmers union.
Then followed a batch of tele-
grams from the committee to inter-
ested citizens in various sections of
the state.
1t is believed the board Of con-
troll, which is to conduct the hear
ing, will be more interested in know
ing from farmers what their real
needs are than in getting the in
formation from any other source.
1t is undoubtedly true that the
intention is to locate the bank for
this district where it will serve the
best interests of farmers already here
as we'll as to aid in the future de-
velopment Of the country.

LincOln's Log Cabin
Given to Nation

HodgeGvile, KY, Sept. 4.-Presi-
dent Wilson, in behalf of the federal
government, today accepted the hum
BILE log cabin in which Abraham Lin
coin was born. The president
speech was the feature of the day.
The president was welcomed by
cheering throng of more than $4,000
people. AS he stepped from his pri-
vate car several bands began play
ing and the applause was deafening.
The president stood in his automo-
bile and bowed again and. again.
Large crowds were gathered at
every wayside station between Louis
vile and Hodgenville and applauded
with enthusiasm as Mr.. Wilson's spe-
cial passed through.
At the Hodgenville station an
automobile parade was formed and
proceeded to statue of Lincoln in
the town square, where the president
laid a wreath of flowers. The streets
were lined with cheering throngs.
From the statue the parade proceed
ed to the Lincoln cabin, two miles
from Hodgenville. There temporary
stands had been built at the foot of
broad granite stairs leading up to
the Lincoln memorial, topping a hill.
Here Mr.. Wilson made his speech.

Gasoline Cheap Fuel
For Flowing Land

The average amount Of fuel con-
sumed in plowing an acre of ground
with a tractor in Illinois as reported
by tractor owners is slightly more
than 2 gallons, according to Farm
ers' Bulletin 719.
The size of the tractor seems to
have little influence on the amount
required, or on the quantity of lubri-
eating oil used, the latter averaging
approximately one-fifth of gallon
per acre. The depth of plowing
averaged very nearly Z inches.
Gasoline is used as fuel by most
of the tractor owners in Illinois, the
average price paid for same during
1915 being IL cents per gallon,
while lubricating oil average 80
cents per gallon.
At these prices the cost for gaso-
line and oil per acre would be about
36 cents, but the prospective pur-
chaser Of a tractor should not make
the mistake of assuming that this
will be the entire cost, as deprecia-
tion and interest usually amount to
more than the expense for fuel and
oil.
