New Teachers Chosen

The board of trustees of the To-
cal public school held a meeting
Monday evening and selected the
following corps of teachers for
the coming school year: J. P.
Barackman, supe r n e n d en- t;
VIM. A. Lusty, principal high
school; Miss Sloneker, teacher of
domestic science; Miss Elva Gray,
7th and 9th grades; Miss Fannie
McGrew, 5th and 9th grades;
Miss Janette Wood, 3rd and 4th
grades; Miss Ora M. Lowe, pri-
mary department.
Prof. Barackman has been en-
ployed in the schools of Latah
county for the past sixteen years
and comes very highly recon-
mended. He has taught in one
of the Moscow city schools for
the past five years and was prin-
cipal of the Kendrick school for
eleven years continuously before
that time. Prof. Lusty comes
from Seattle and has taught for
a number of years in the schools
of Washington. Miss Lowe will
come here from Binford, N. D.,
her selection having been made
by the board under the impress
sion that Mrs. Fryer intended
leaving during vacation and
would not return.
The above new faces, with the
four old members of the teaching
staff, should give US one of the
best corps of teachers in this
part of the state and we hope
will result in the successful oper-
alton and advancement of the
educational standard of the school
until it ranks with the best of it's
kind in the state.

Move Flour Mill to Railroad

Felix Martzen returned Satur.
day evening from Lewiston
where he closed a deal for the
purchase of tract of ground
near the local depot from the
Camas Prairie railway company
for the site for the new flour mill
to be erected there during the
coming summer by the Cotton
wood Milling company. While
it will be several weeks before
the deed for the ground can be
received from the head Office of
the company at St. Paul the work
of reorganizing the company and
increasing the capital stock is
going steadily forward and sew
eral subscriptions of $1,000 each
have been received during the
past week. The moving of the
mill to the railroad and the erect
ing of a new mill building with
increased capacity has been un-
der contemplation for the past
couple of years, but it was only
within the past few months that
satisfactory arrangements could
be made with the railroad for a
suitable site for the mill. The new
site acquired is located on the
north side of the track just west
of the depot and opposite the
ollmer-Clearwater warehouse
and it is expected that work on
the new mill building will be
started during the early summer
and that the machinery can be
moved and the mill be ready for
operation shortly after harvest.

support. Many farmers of the
country south and east of Green
creek and in the Greencreek and
Winona sections are contributing
to the fund and it is quite prob
able the roads can be built with
out the highway district expend-
ing much more on them than
would otherwise be spent this
year on improving the present
roads.
The proposed changes have
not as yet been brought to the
official notice of the highway
board but will be presented at
the next meeting, when, if it is
seen that the sentiment of the
public is generally in favor of the
changes being made, the matter
will no doubt be taken up offici-
ally and pushed to an early COM
pletion.
Such changes as those advo-
Gated are of vital Importance to
the residents of this district and
should not be passed over lightly.
Such changes are bound to come
in time anyway and there is little
to be gained in trying for years
to build good roads over hills and
then later abandon this work and
construct them along easy grade
lines where they should have
been placed at the start.

Farmers Union Build
New Flour Mill

Cottonwood is to have another
flour mill. This decision was
reached at a special meeting OF
the board of directors of the
Farmeas Union Warehouse COM
pany in this city yesterday and
notice of the decision is officially
given elsewhere in this issue.
The mill to be erected will be
built adjoining the elevator and
warehouse in the west end of
town and work will be inaugu-
rated as soon as details of the
plans and organization can be
completed. The mill will be of
not less than so and perhaps of
100. barrels daily capacity and
will be completed in time to
handle a large portion of this
years crop. 1t will be operated
in conjunction with the elevator
and will be in charge of a COM
petent miller, the ultimate aim of
the company being to grind into
flour a large part of the grain
grown by the farmers of this
section.

Eller Captures Insane Man

Deputy Sheriff Will Eller hac
rather an exciting experience
with an insane man last week
across Salmon river but finally
captured his man and took him
to Grangeville after they had in
dulged in a miniature reproduc-
ton of battle on the French
frontier. The officer was sent
for by residents of the Joseph
country to round up James Evans
an insane man who had been
breaking into and robbing cabins
In that part of the county. After
following the man for three days
the officer got within hailing dis
tance of him one morning and
called on him to surrender.
Evans replied with a shot from
his rifle and, and as there was no
cover handy, Eller had nothing
left him but to draw his gun and
go after his man. Evans con-
tinued to shoot and Eller replied
with his revolver until a bullet
from the latter weapon passed
close enough to Evans body to
scar the skin, when he signifed
his willingness to submit to ar
rest. Evans had three guns and
several knives and a quantity of
ammunition in his possession and
as Deputy Eller was armed only
with a revolver he was taking
desperate chances in trying to
capture the man. Evans had
been in the asylum before and
escaped but will no doubt be
closely confined in the future, as
he is a dangerous man to have at
large.
Deputy Sheriff Eller was for
merly a resident of Cottonwood
for many years and his friends
here are proud of the fine record
ne is making in the discharge of
duty in Office.

Build New Electric Plant

B. L. Sivyer, son of the treas
urer of the Grangeville Electric
Light and Power company, is in
the city from Spokane looking
over the local field and incident
ally placing on scale some of the
treasury stock of the company in
this section. Mr.. Sivyer states
that his company intends con-
structing a big electric plant at
some point on the Clearwater
during the coming summer in or
der to take care of the increas-
ing demand for electric lights
and power in the central Idaho
section and to make their system
as efficient as possible and insure
an uninterrupted service at all
times, regardless of weather con-
ditions or other possible troubles.
AS has been the rule of the COM
pany in the past, the money
needed for these improvements
will be raised from the sale of
treasury stock and the company
desires to place this stock with
its patrons in the various towns
served by its lines as far as pos
sible. The company guarantees
eight per cent interest on the in
vestment and will sell shares on
the easy payment plan. Those
interested can secure full infor-
nation by calling on the local
agent.

Good Roads Pointers

Fill up the low places. The
hills will drain of their own ac-
cord. and water always seeks the
low spots.
Get good. deep bitches estab-
lished nearest the hill ON all
grades and the storm waters will
not bother the center of the road.
Don't let a bad mud hole de-
velop in the road in front of your
farm. It's a bad advertisement
for you as progressive farmer.
A few good roads on easy
grades and well kept up are
worth vastly more than a large
number of poor roads which can
not be given proper attention.
Don't try to work the roads
and your farm at the same time.
One is sure to be neglected. Do
what you think is most necessary
and leave the other job to some
other fellow.
Always provide a way for the
water to drain away from the road
Pools standing on either side of
road are certain to soak up the
soil and will ruin even hard sur
face road in time.
Keep the black dirt on top of
the road whenever possible, even
though it has to be hauled sever
al hundred feet. It makes the
best road and will pay for the ex-
ira labor in single year.
Don't leave low spots in the
road on both sides of bridge or
culvert. If you do, half the time
the culvert will be high and dry
while the low spots will be mud
holes during the wet season.
Don'tthink because your neigh
Dor may have car that good
roads are only for his pleasure
and benefit. They will save you
money in rigs and horse flesh
every time you have to pass over
them.
Clay cannot be made into good
wet weather roads without a good
gravel coating on top, and as
gravel is hard to get in this coun-
try it will be found advisable to
DO as little clay road building as
possible.
And last, but not least, DRAG
THE ROADS AFTER EVERY
STORM. Your horses and hired
men are doing nothing then for
lalf a day at least, and dragging
s what counts in building and
maintaining good roads in a dirt
country.

What Dairying
Means to Wisconsin

The state of Wisconsin has l.
626, 900 cows and the annual pro-
duction of dairy goods is $780,
600, 900, placing Wisconsin in the
front rank in dairy products says
an eastern paper. There are
only six states in the Union that
havd more than 1000, 900 cows
each. The state of New York
stands next to- Wisconsin with
about 100000 cows. Of the
other states which take high rank
three of them border closely on
Wisconsin. They are Illinois,
Iowa and Minnesota, while Texas
is a range COW state rather than
a dairy region.
Wisconsin also has over 500
creameries, while Idaho has only
seven. When it is considered
that the first pure bred Holstein
male was introduced in jefferson
county, the center of the dairy
section of Wisconsin, in 1876 and
the first Guernsey male in 1885,
it can be seen that it has taken
only about half of an average
lifetime to build up the dairy in
dustry in that state from nothing
to its present high standard.
Let Idaho become interested in
dairying and within a few years
it may become one of the leading
industries of our state.
