SCHOOL CENSUS GIVES IDAHO
COUNTY 4lS6 SCHOOL CHILDREN
IN APPoRTIoNMENT OF $1o6, ,oss .s2,
LARGEST COUNTY IN STATE
TAKES TENTH PLACE IN
SHARE OR $3,61O.O9.

The apportionment of the money
from sales of state school lands for the
first half of the year 1916 has just been
made by state superintendent of public
instruction, Miss Bernice Mccoy, and
the entire fund amounts to $106,O8S. .S2,
to be distributed among the 81 counties
of the state. The increase of the first
half of the apportionment of 1916 over
the first half of 1915 is $l5,409.57.
The apportionment of this money is
based on the school census, and each
county receives an amount based on the
number of school children of school age
in the county. Although Idaho county
is the largest county in the state, yet
In point of school population it takes
tenth place, coming next to Nez Peree
county. Within the borders of the
county is greater acreage of school
lands than in any other county of the
state. The expense of maintaining

wolves larger expenditure than that
of any county in the state. 1t would
seem under such circumstances that a
different method of apportioning state
school funds should be made.
The richest counties, where the school
population is greatest, has less diff
Guilty in supporting its schools than the
county whose confines are wide flung,
and the taxation is not anyway near
the limit. The greater apportionment
should be made to the counties where
most needed. That is not the way it
works out however.

Snowfall General.
The snow fall has been quite general
all over the prairie, and better than
two feet of snow has fallen back in the
mountains in places. Charles Smith
who was here from Newsome last week
stated that when he left there was
about three or three and a half feet of
snow. Information received by tele-
phone from Golden in the same section,
tuesday evening, told of there being in
the neighborhood of five feet of snow
back in that country since the last ad-
dition. Reports from other mountain
sections correspond and the snow fall
for this winter will nearly equal that of
two winters ago when the railroad line
was blockaded for two weeks.

STOLE FIREARMS.
Burglar Broke Into Eimers' Hardware
Store and Appropriated Two Guns.

Some time between Saturday night
and Monday morning an individual en-
tered the back door or the Eimers'
Hardware store and took two guns, one
3S Colt automatic and another 3S
gun, neglecting to provide himself with
ammunition and making no further theft
from the store so tar as could be seen.
Doubtless the desires of the thief were
fixed by more lawful visits of investi-
cation at the store, and shortage of
funds made him SO desperate as to risk
a berth in the penitentiary in order to
go fully armed and prepared. AS yet
the gentleman has not been taken in
but there is a splendid chance for an
object lesson to some community un-
desirable which will be realized later.
Jake Eimers states he is in favor of
preparedness and peace at any price,
but that this method is going too far.
The joke is on the thief at any rate
for below the gun stolen, in the box
where it was placed were game licenses
and under the game licenses about $12
in money which was overlooked.

JUMBO COMPANY ACTIVE.
Held Meeting at Lewiston This Week.
Transacting Some Important Business

Gus Schultz of the Buffalo Hump
mining district Travelled over the snow
the first of the week to reach Grange
vile, going overland to Cottonwood
where he took the train Monday for
Lewiston to attend a meeting of the
director and Officers Of the Jumbo
Mining & Milling Company at Lewis
ton held Tuesday. Those interested in
the company are active at the present
time in an effort to start operations
on the Jumbo mining property, which
has not been worked by the company
for some time. There is some question
as to the legality of the lease under
which others are now operating the
mining claims and the directors and Of
ficers expect to take this up at once,
the desire being to place the company
itself in charge.
At the meeting, Marsh Wright, presi-
dent, and Mr.. Stoeffer, secretary, filed
designations, which were accepted and
Harry Lydon was elected president and
w. II. Howard of Charleston, secretary
treasurer. Judge Chester Miller of
Dayton was chosen as director of the
company. Judge Miller came through
Grangeville last summer to look after
the interests in at Buffalo Hump and
is an enthusiastic booster.
The Jumbo property has always been
one Of the most promising properties in
Idaho county and large amount of
money was taken out of the workings
in the past. Work of late years has
uncovered a large amount of rich ore
but the lease held by others, not inter
ested in the property, has in reality
worked to a disadvantage to the com
pany and the property, many stockhold-
ers now taking the view that the COM
pany itself should operate their hold
ings. It is even binted that the lessees
have found the property especially at
tractive under recent development and
would like to hold it. Buffalo Hump
will again come into its own and it is
hoped that the Jumbo company will be
one Of the agents of a new boom

ROTARY CUT THRU TO GnANGE-
VILE TUESDAY AND PASSEN-
GER TRAIN ARRIVED TUES
DAY EvENING-SNOW
FALL, GENERAL.

The snow blockade on the Camas
|prairie branch was broken with the
|arrival of the passenger Tuesday even
ing. after service discontinued since
Hast Thursday evening. Snow in the
|cuts between Cottonwood and Grange
willie prevented the trains reaching
|Grangeville and the ordinary snow plow
was not efficient enough to clear the
deep cuts of firm packed snow. A
rotary plow from the main line of the
I'M. P. was sent for and concluded it's
work in clearing the tracks of snow
Tuesday afternoon.
The snow and wind of last Thursday
closed the railroad tracks to travel be-
tween Cottonwood and Grangeville, the
|train making it as far as the former
[place. Friday was milder with some
snow and about midnight the wind
came up and blew a gale, carrying and
drifting the foot of snow which cover
/ ed the ground for some time. Satur
[day the temperature moderated until
1.-THE wind became real chinook and the
snow began to go rapidly Saturday af-
ternoon, and the continued thaw on
Sunday took the majority of the snow
except the deep drifts. A rain Sunday
morning and during the day hastened
1 the melting of the white blanket.
Since Sunday another foot and bet
4 ter of snow has fallen and the ground
/ is again covered by deep blanket of
white, most of which fell on Monday.
/ This still remains undrifted and a brisk
wind would again fill the cuts and
make railway service difficult until the
tracks could be cleared.
Stage Service Affected.
Driver Dunham of the White Bird
stage was forced to turn back Saturday
on his trip down towards White Bird,
and only got short distance out of
city, whene he found the drifts too bad
to go through, the horses refusing to
face the high wind that was blowing.
Otherwise the stage service during the
stormy period has not been discontinu-
ed.

MATRIMoNY STILL IN LEAD.
For Past Year 81 Licenses to Wed Is
sued and 81 Sought Divorce.

Those who seek to merge their happi-
ness in the marriage union still have
the lead over those who seek to break
the ties in Idaho county, as shown by a
glimpse at the record. During the year
1915, 81 licenses to wed were issued
from the office of the County Recorder,
and during the same time 81 suits to
obtain d severance of the marriage
bonds were filed in the District Court
in and for Idaho county. But we must
state that several of the divorce ac-
tions were transferred from Nez Perce
and Lewis county which swelled the
lists of divorce suits, and on the other
hand some of our good Idaho county
young people applied for licences in
other counties, and this will put matri-
mony away in the lead. The grounds
of the applications for divorce ranged
from the usual allegations of desertion,
non-support and the like to cruelty, the
husbands and wives being about equal
in number as to being complainants and
parties plaintiff.

j. c. REASER TOOK
LIFE AT RED
RIVER
DEATH FOLLOWED RIFLE SHOT,
SELF INFLICTED BY DECEAS-
ED FOLLOWING ILLNESS.
PIONEER MINER IN COUNTY
Age About rs, Having Resided Here
For 20 Years-Red River is Between
Elk City and Dixie.

Information was received Sunday by
[telephone from Elk City by county
prosecutor, M. H. Hattabaugh, that j.
IC. Reaser, pioneer of Idaho county
Fand well known in different camps,
ended his life Saturday night at Red
River by shooting himself with rifle.
IIhe act was probably the result of des-
pondency caused by illness which has
made the unfortunate man sufferer
during the past summer.
Mr.. Reaser was a man well up in life,
being about rs years of age and having
been a resident of Idaho county for
nearly 20 years. He followed mining
during this time and has lived for the
past few years and up to the time of
hrs death at Red River, mining camp
between Dixie and Elk City. He has
mad good care since his illness, and
shipped from the house with the rifle
and took his life before the act could be
prevented
The circumstances of the death be-
ing so well known, no steps were taken
TO hold an inquest, which would have
TO be made at a great expense to the
county, and the officials directed that
the body be buried at Red River.
Mr.. Reaser was well and favorably
known here in Grangeville and was a
friend OF Irvy Overman, spending a
great deal of his time during the win
ters when Mr.. Ovrman was sheriff, in
tne office, and he was well liked by all

In this section of the state where there
are logged off lands, the opportunity
is especially great for seed growing
may be conducted on a small scale at
an immense profit. The young folks
may be included in the partnership and
be thereby encouraged to remain on the
farm, for they may easily become ex-
perienced growers. These and other
ideas left by Mr.. Root are we'll worth
remembering. He expects to make a
later visit and will announce his visit
before hand, being anxious to meet
with the farmers of the prairie. 1t
would be good suggestion to have him
visit at the meeting of the farmers
union in June. A man who has practi-
cal experience in the lines mentioned
and is a seed grower, such as Mr.. Root,
is capable of being of inestimable bene-
fit to the agricultural industry of the

MORE ANIMALS KILLED.
Predatory Pests Still Being Exter

have been recently received. A ship
ment will be made this evening of all
now on hand to tn state veterinarian g
office at Boise. By reason of the
notice recently received by Mr.. Graves,
it is not probable that the bounties on
this latest shipment will not be forth
coming for the present and will have to
await the appropriation of money for

be sufficient money still remaining to

IN TOWN ToDAY-HE IS WELL
QUALIFIED FOR THE POSITION
BY REASON OF HIS PRAC-
TICAL EXPERIENCE.

M. l.. Root, deputy seed inspector for
the northern section of Idaho, with
headquarters at Athol, Idaho, paid a
visit to Grangeville this week, being
in the city today, the purposes being
connected with the duties of his Off
cial position. Mr.. Root is an enthusiast
in the line Of seed growing and it would
seem is admirably qualified to attend
to the duties of his office.
While this is his first visit to this
section, and made primarily as a visit
whereby he may become acquainted
with him and the purposes of his office,
he plans to make several visits in the
course of the year and his next visit
will be announced before hand so that
those who would care to meet him may
know the time of his coming.
1t is the stated purpose of Mr.. Root,
wherever possible and where the same
is desired, to form organizations of
seed growers for the purpose of ar
ranging for better marketing facilities
and the best interests fof those inter-
ested. This department of seed in
spection expects to cooperate with the
producers and help find market. Al
ready in South Idaho they have attain
ed results to this end, according to the
information given by Mr.. Root, and
have been active in making sales of
seed to county agents and consumers
of other states of high grade seeds, con-
sisting mostly of clover and alfalfa.
In that connection, Mr.. Root mention
ed an article which recently appeared
in the Gem State Rural published in
Caldwell, Idaho, wherein that farm
journal told of the selling of a load of
alfalfa seed for 100000, shipped from
Bull, Idaho, the purchaser being the
county agent of De Kalb county. Ill.
This sale was made through the efforts
of the seed department of the state of
Idaho and illustrates the benefits it
hopes to achieve in finding a market
for the seed growers of the state.
Mr.. Root lives near Athol and has
been engaged in the growing of seeds,
vegetable seeds principally and he
states that last year he raised twenty
different varieties and that where they
were planted fine results were reported
and the seeds highly recommended
Great interest is being developed in
seed growing up in the north end of
the state in Bonner and Kootenai coun-
ties, and the communities of that Sec
tion were represented by four booths
at the interstate fair year ago, and
out of 80 entries, won % prizes. Fur
thermore the exhibits were sent to the
Panama Pacific exposition and IL
medals were won. The exhibits con-
sisted of threshed and sheaf grains and
forage grasses, and the four exhibits
took first, second and third awards in
these classes at the interstate fair.
Mr.. Root, in telling of this, stated
that he was not boasting but merely
showing what every community in
North Idaho might do. He states that
from observation and experience, the
entire northern section of the state is
peculiarly adapted to the raising OF
