SUCCESSFUL TRAPPERs.

Nephi Purcell and Homer Stone,
two Payette men who are employed
as government trappers in the cam
paign that is now being carried on
for the elimination Of the pesky
coyote, came in Saturday evening
after an absence of 81 days, during
which time they caught and killed 80
coyotes. These men have been COW

slaught. They state that the coyote,
formerly so numerous, Is becoming a
very scarce article. AS they found
several dead ones, 1t is their be-
lief that many of the varments were
eliminated by starvation during the

something like $50 men employed by
the federal government in this work,
covering territory that has long
been infested by this troublesome
and of late, very dangerous species
of marauding animal. it would seem
that the present war for its complete

RESIDENCE BURNED
WITH CONTENTS
MOTHER RESCUES LITTLE SON
WHILE FATHER FIGHTS TO
SAVE HOUSEHOLDEFFECTS.

A fire which had gained such head
way that nothing could be done by
the department upon its tardy ar
rival at the scene but to direct its
efforts toward the saving of ad-
Joining property, occurred Tuesday
morning about O'Clock, when
story and-a-half frame residence own
ed by J. C. Moore and occupied by
IT. A White and family, on 1st Ave
nue. south, was burned with practical
ly all of it's contents.
Mr.. and Mrs. White discovered the
blaze at about the same time, short
ly after the fire had been started
in the kitchen stove. The flames
had already gained such headway
that sparks falling from above had
set fire to bed occupied by their
little son, who was happily rescued
by his mother and carried out of
the building, while Mr.. White de-
voted his attention to alarming the

three or four chairs belonging to
the occupants of the building, every
thing else being consumed and leav-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. White with nothing
but the clothes upon their backs.
The building was valued at 81, 600
and there was no insurance, Mr.
Moore having unfortunately allowed
the policy to expire only few days
before The fire is supposed to
have been caused by a defective f1ue.
The loss falls heavily upon Mr..
Moore, the owner of the building,
and Mr. and Mrs White, the occu-

clothing and with but little means

PROSPERITY SHOWN
IN BIG FIGURES
TRADE BREAKING ALL
PREVIOUS RECORDS, PRICES
SOARING.

If you do not believe the countr
Is riding upon the high wave of pro-
perity. just read few figures SUI
piled by "The Collins Forecast"
publication whose word is accepte
as authority by bankers and othe
business men throughout the Unit
ed States:
"Trade between the United
States and South America is
breaking all previous records, as
il now averages 81 500, 900 day
and far exceeds that in any
previous year"
"American exports for Febru-
ary, 1916, reached $4o9, 1886, ,525,
the highest ever reported in any
one month"
"Bank clearings in the United
States, week of April IS, we're
$4,383, ,476,752. Same week last
year, sa,6as,74o,s52, gain of 20
per cent"
Railway earnings for March:
"a roads show gain of $12,7eS, 900,
in gross-equaI to Fl per cent"
Building operations in tho
United States, March, 1916, $79,-
s3a, a,6a3, March, 1915, $63, so,427;
a gain of over is per cent"
"UnfiIled Steel orders, March,
1916, 1881 ,oO1 tons; March, 1915,
4,255,749 tons. This is an in
crease of more than 100 per

"cotton consumption, March,
1916, 694,530 bales. March, 1915,
557,701 bales. Last months fig
ures were the highest ever re-

prices in the United States are
rising rapidly and continuously, as
they are nearly all over the world
The reasons for this are obvious.
Abroad millions have been with.
drawn from the ranks of producers
of useful commodities. The workers
remaining at home have had theiI
purchasing powers raised by the en-.
larged demand. Paper money" In
large volume has exercised its subtle
influence. The conditions abroad have
been reflected here and in some
respects intensified by our exemp'
tion from the conflict itself. A grad
ual rise in prices, due to the ordi,
nary operation of the law OF supply
and demand, is healthful; but this
is not such a rise as the world is
now Witnessing"

It may be announced this early
that the sentiment of Payette busi-

be made to start things booming in
that direction.

Our Easter Day will abide in MEM
ory on account of many fine features
that marked it. Flowers are to be
expected OF course, and because they
are expected it Is more Of an achieve
ment to arrange decorations that
are extraordinary. But such they
were. Mrs. j. A. Lauer was in
charge Of that department, and she
was splendidly helped by others both
in supplying and arranging.
The music which the choir under
Mrs. Reibeling's direction, rendered
was all that the occasion called for,
which Is about as much as can be
said In appreciation Of 1t.
The evening hour was occupied in
welcoming eleven new members to

The meeting of Presbytery at
Parma last week which Mr.. Reed
attended, was of general interest in
one respect, namely, the live inter-
est in "The College of Idaho" A
communication in the Statesman re-
Gently said there is no college be-
tween Salt Lake City and Walla
Walla 1t is Just twenty-nine miles
from the Statesman office to the
group of buildings, three in number,
fronting on the o. S. l.. right of way,
located on a twenty-acre campus, con,
stituting value of $150,000, where
a College has been graduating classes
with the A. B. degree for seven sue
cessive years. The present Senior
class Of eight will put the total
number of graduates above fifty.
But for immediate interest this ia
a more vital fact: When this Senior
class started four years ago there
were just twenty-eight students in
the College classes, (somewhere
about a hundred in preparatory, to-
day there are hundred and twenty
three in the College classes. The
preparatory department is being elm
mated because there is no room to
care for it. There are less than
sixty now and will be fewer still at
the opening next September. The
and twenty-three are all
college students. not Normal course
students, nor Commercial course
students. For the last four years
the College has graduated with the
Bachelor of Arts degree half as many
people as have received that de-
gree from the State University.
But speaking of a Normal course,
there is now an agreement on the
part of the State Educational Board
that C. of l. students may take a
Normal course of two years and be
certified as teachers on an exact
par with students OF Lewiston or Al
bion
But the liveet thing of all just
now is that President Boone is in
the East getting s400,O of a half
endowment fund. When he
gets that, Idaho will give the rest
and the College will be in position
to do for this region what Whit
man is doing for Southeast Washing
ton, what other Christian Colleges
are doing for their communities all
over the land.
