JOHN DAY NEWS ITEMS.

The old John Day house is at the
present time undergoing some much
needed repairs. A. D. Sewell of Lucille
is engaged at the work.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Lanningham
of Grangeville are visiting for a few
days with Mr.. and Mrs. o. o. Gordon.
Miss Laura Fox spent Sunday at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Deasy.
Lester Cunningham and Miss Edith
Holbrook attended the masquerade ball
at Higgins New Years eve, and report
having enjoyed splendid time.
Johnny Chamberlain who has home
stead several miles up the Big Salmon
is confined at the John Day house with
case of the grippe.
The recent cold spell of weather took
number of the stockmen of this sec
tion by surprise, and froze the ground
so hard that cattle rolling is an every
day occurrence. Alva Rhett, Tony Cor
don and Henry Elfers have each lost
several head.
The John Day school under the eff
cient tutorship of Miss Laura Fox has
an attendance at the present time above
tire average and the pupils are said to
be making splendid progress.
So much praise has been heard here
of the excellent program put on by the
the pupils of the John Day school
Christmas eve. Miss Fox is deserving
of much credit for the careful and ella
borate manner in which the exercises
were planned and carried out.
The John Day house is at present en-
joying a very large patronage of tran
sient trade between Grangeville and
Meadows. Travellers who stop at this
place once always make it a point to
do so again, as it is about the most hos
pitiable lodging place that one will
ever find. A hungry man always gets
plenty to eat here and hospitality
abounds. o. o. Gordon is the agreeable
proprietor.

DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE PARTY

A delightful surprise party was given
by the young people of White Bird
Monday evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. E. G. Smith in honor of the
birthday of their daughter, Miss Laura.
The members of the party assembled
at the hotel and after planning a pro-
gram and arranging suitable presents
they went enmasse to the Smith home
promptly at 8 o'clock. A very alrrac
tive program was rendered consisting
of vocal and instrumental music, read
ings, games and stunts. At the conclu-
sion of the program refreshments were
served by Mrs. Smith and daughter as
sisted by Mrs. Otto. The beautiful
presents and remembrances were unmis-
taxable proof Of the high esteem in
which Miss Smith is held. After spend
ing most enjoyable evening and wish
ing the young lady many happy returns
of the day the young people dispersed.
Those present were Misses Edna
Jillson, Olive Mason, Neva Doris,
Arlottie and Florence Otto, Isabelle
Harris, Bridget Murphy, Blanche Wool
worth, Edith Lyons, Esther Sly,
Myrtle McEvers, Hazel Richardson, and
Messrs Roy Doris, Felix Mason, j. w.
Curtis, Clarence Harrison, James Me
Evers, Preston Vandeburg, Lloyd Hol-
brook, Guy Behean, Earl Rice, James
Maynard, Eugene Hodgson.

BODIES NOT RECOVERED

The bodies of the Cain brothers. who
were drowned in Salmon river several
days ago have not been recovered.
Seach for the bodies was kept up until
late last week, when efforts to loea
them had to be abandoned. The eddy
in which the bodies disappeared and
which is said to be sixty feet deep in
places has so choked up with ice that
nothing further can be done. The
fifty pounds of dynamite taken to the
scene of the accident last week was not
used. Much difference of opinion ex.
lists here as to the practibility of using
explosives to locate the bodies. Some
who are experienced in the use of dvna
mite claim that the jar of an explo-
sion will raise the carcass of a dead
man the same as conclusion will bring
fish to the surface while others re-
pudiates this theory entirely. DR.. w.
E. Foskett says that dynamite would
be of no use except, possibly, to jar
the bodies lose in case they were lodg-
ed on the bottom. He says that life
must be extinct a sufficient length of
time for decomposition to set in and
enough gas formed to force the bodies
upward. AS the water in the river is
ice cold at this time of the year it is
probable that the men will not be
found until warm weather comes.

Colts Hardest Shots.

81 have heard many debates as to
the hardest and the easiest clubs to
play" says jerome ID. Trayers. the IA
nous golfer. in the American Maya
zine. Il should say the hardest shot
In the game. the one that has fewer
masters. Is the full iron shot to the
green. Running close second is the
maShie pitch There are fewer golfers
by far who can play these two shots
well than those who are good drivers
or good puttcrs The easiest shot In
golf Is the drive. and the simplest is
the putt But as putting is almost
purely a mental proposition it probably
varies more with all players than any
other shot,
You see very few good sound iron
players, especially among the amateurs
in America. In England their iron
play is much better"

AN ENLARGED FIELD OPEN.
Opportunity for Idaho Seed Growers
Good Under Present Conditions.

Conditions were never more favor
able for seed growing in Idaho than.
during the coming year. This is due
to existing conditions in Europe which
have practically destroyed the seed
trade with the continent.
The magnitude of this business has
not been realized by the people of this
country, not even by the people en-
gagged in the seed trade themselves.
The value of seed imported into
this country represents many millions
of dollars. During the year l912-19l3
the United States imported from France
and Germany, over $l2 100000 worth
of alfalfa and clover seed. The value
of other seeds, as grass, garden and
flower seeds, exceeds the above amount.
We are just beginning to realize
the situation. The conditions will be-
come more serious during the next few
years unless a strenuous effort is made
by this country to produce b large por-
ton of the seed than it has heretofore
purchased from Europe.
Some varitites of seeds have ceased
to be listed by the wholesalers, while
others have doubled in price. The
same complaint of scarcity and high
prices is heard from Canada and South
America. The problem is before the
country to grow their own seed and es-
tablish the seed growing industry in
America.
Canada is alive to the situation and
is offering financial aid and bounty
to seed growers to help establish the
industry in the Dominion.
1t has already been demonstrated
that successful seed grow ing can be
carried on in Idaho. 1t is possible to
establish the industry on still larger
scale. Seed growing is one of the most
profitable forms of agriculture. The
returns per acre from some crops of
seeds are almost unbelievable.
1t is needless to enumerate the ideal
conditions existing over large sections
of the state for the production of seeds
of many varieties of superior quality
In every instance where seed has been
produced in this country, it has been OF
higher quality than the imported seed
and in turn produces a superior product
The seed growing industry is bound tt
become established on much more ex
tensive scale in this country than eyel
BEFORE
Idaho growers should become fully
awakened to the situation and make s
strenuous effort during the next twt
years to extend and establish the in
dustry, thus insuring larger additional
incomes for the farmers Of the state.

Mans Will Is All His Own.

True education lies in learning to
wish things to be as they actually are.
II lies in learning to distinguish what
is our own from what does not belong
10 us. But there is only one thing
which is fully our own--that is our
will or purpose. God. acting as good
king and true father, has given us a
will which cannot be restrained, COM
PEELED or thwarted. He has put it
wholly in our power. +" Nothing can
ever force us to act against our will.

DoUMECo PLAINS ITEMS.

Miss Vesta Napean injured her eye
rather seriously by accidentally pierre
ing it with thorn. The doctor was
called and found that the thorn had en-
tered the eyeball and while the injury
is very painful it will not effect the
sight.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. M. Ripley held re-
ception Friday night in honor of their
son, Stanley's marriage to Miss Alzena
Barnett. The couple, who were mar
ried in Grangeville last Wednesday are
two of the most popular young people
on the plains and their many Doumecq
friends unite in their good wishes for
the young couple.
The oyster supper given by Mr..
Marshall and his friends last Thursday
night was a decided success. Over 80
persons partook of the refreshments.
The entertainment which was provided
by the Young Peoples s. s. class con-
sisted of a short program. The main
feature of the program was debate,
Resolve: "That it is Better to Live on
the Doumecq then in the Breaks. The
affirmative side which was defended by
Zema Cochran and James Campeau, won
unanimously altho the negative side,
supported by Dorothy Barker and Robt.
Cochran put up strong argument in
favor of the breaks.
The many friends of Miss Caribel
Ingle regretted her departure from the
plains last Saturday for her home at
Kendrick. Tt says much, however, for
the healthful climate of the plains to
see the Improvement in her health since
she arrived few months ago.

THE FIRST TROUSERS.
They Led to Edicts Against Their Use
In Some German States.

In Some German States.
The latest instance of a European
country enacting laws concerning dress
occurred at the time Of. the French
revolution. when some rulers of Ger.
man states forbade their subjects to
wear trousers these being held to indi
cate revolutionary opinions The cleo
tor of HesseC assel. besides prohibiting
the obnoxious garments, had the con-
victs employed on road sweeping dress
ed In trousers so as to inspire disgust
for sans-culotte fashions.
The term sans culotte" means with.
out breeches," and during the French
revolution the "sans-culottes," who de-
nounced every one who wore breeches,
finally went beyond their opponents
and wore twice as much cloth around
their legs-in word, adopted the mod
ern trousers and made them the badge
of a party.
Napoleon wore trousers on state oc-
casions after he had been crowned
emperor. His army was the first that
adopted trousers, and they kept prog
ress, step by step, with the march Of
the French legions. The Duke OF
Wellington would insist on wearing
pantaloons-or trousers, as they are
now called-when he attended certain
social functions, although he was al
