The Chronicle fell heir this
week to the following rumina-
tons of some travelling salesman
who had evidently Transcribed
his impressions of our town in a
letter to his firm and then for

the table: Cottonwood, Idaho

some good Boosters and a few
Porcupines. AS long as the
Boosters stay the town will grad

If you will take two like pieces
of Nezperce prairie road and
drag one while the ground is yet
wet and soft and the other while
it is merely campaigning each
the same number of times-you
will soon find the more perma-
nent beneficial results in the
former. It would not cost any
one much to try this, and it
would settle for the experiment.

question, when is the best time
to drag?"-Herald.

Benjamin Franklin was right.
He said that many a nickel
makes nickel" meaning that
if one saved up the ''jitneys, +"
they would eventually grow into
dollars. The financial report of
the Woolworth 5 and 10 cent
stores for 1915 proves that Ben
knew what he was talking about.
Woolworth did a business last
year of SIS, 1896, TIA, practically
all in nickle and dime sales.
Some "mickle," as one might
remark.

Probably the railway station of the
Pere Marquette with its vile and
germ-laden atmosphere leaves more to
be desired than any one spot in Alma,

the city as a whole is a very attrac-
tive clean and up-to-date little place.
However. my purpose in address
ing YOU is not to go into details of
my personal observations. want to
ask you a favor for friend in Ne

and men who are anxious TO do better

communities and found such a lively
interest particularly in the discussion

Experiment in Cooperation.

How bunch of enterprising settlers on one OF
Uncle Sans reclamation projects, with the as
sisance of the United States forest service. have
reduced the cost OF milled lumber from $25 a
thousand feet TO $3.50 and have at the same
time paid the cost OF installing their cooperative
sawmill. is told in reports reaching the reclama-
ton service in Washington.
The settlers on the Tieton unit OF the Yakima
irrigation project, in Washington state. found
that they had TO pay from $50 to SIS thou
sand for lumber TO put UP their houses and build
ings.
The Tieton unit is six miles away from the
Rainier national forest, and the settlers decided
TO furnish lumber to themelves at cost.
In March. 1915 the settlers organized the
company with 200 hares OF capital stock OF the
par value OF $40 each. Five hundred and nfty
dollars paid in and sawmill outfit was
purchased.
Among the settlers was found man who had
some experience sawyer and he was placed
In charge OF operations
Saving was commenced last September. With
three men on the job they were able to turn
out from 5000 to 1000 feet Of rough lumber a
day.
The mill is located on government land leas-
ed to the settlers for term OF years. and the
price charged by the forest service for the logs is
only so cents thouand.
The farmers cut and skid the logs in summer
and in the winter when there is nothing else

Hull. one Of the settlers, who has reported on the
project to the reclamation service officials.
THE remarkable feature Of the scheme,
says Hull. lis that 1t benefits the one who
most needs 1t. The wellto-do rancher Is
conspicuous by his absence. and the one
under greatest financial stress Is the best
booster.
This again illustrates the principle that
the best cooperative effort comes from con-
ditions of necessity"
The mill will not only save thousands Of dol
lars in cash to the settlers in cost of lumber,
but directly II will enable them to save othes
thousands through proper storage facilities for
hay and stock. by getting cheap lumber to
protect them
All the money spent for saving logs remains
