Stock Losses Not Be SMALL

ID. F. VanPool was in the city
Monday from his ranch over on
Snake river and dropped in for a
few minutes chat. When asked
about the situation among the
stockmen across the river he said
that there had been some loss of
cattle since the snow left by the
weakened cattle getting out onto
the hill sides and rolling. This
loss is heaviest { m ong those who
had but little feed during the Sc
we're winter and ranges from one
or two head to twenty-five and
thirty head in some instances.
Mr.. VanPool only lost a few
young calves during the coldest
weather but said he lost several
head of fat cows last fall from
impaction, caused by the animals
eating too much dry cheat"
grass while getting down to the
green grass underneath.
Mr.. VanPool stated that the
heaviest loss to the stOckmen as
a result of the severe winter
would be the short calf crop this
spring, large percentage of the
cows having lost their calves from
the effects of the cold weather
and insufficient feed. Just how
great this loss would prove to be
is hard to estimate but it will be
materially more than the loss
from mature cattle in the herds.

Camas prairie may not be an
ideal dairy country but the
monthly cream check is becoming
more and more appreciated by
the farmers just the same and
many of them are rapidly shap-
ing their affairs to make the
cream check materially larger as
time passes, as is evidenced by
the fact that several are getting
in better animals in the dairy
class in order to breed up their
herds onto a better paying basis.
Two of the younger generation
of farmers in this locality showed
their faith in the dairy industry
this week by securing fine Hol-
stein bulls for use in their herds.

Little Girl Strays From Home

The little five-year old daugh-
ter of John Collins who lives near
the Oxford mine, left home early
Tuesday with her dog and said
she was going hunting. Nothing
serious was thought of the little
girls remarks, Mrs. Collins only
supposing that she was going out
to play as usual. She strayed
away into the woods and of course
was soon lost. When she failed
to return home and could not be
located, word was sent out and
the neighborhood joined in a
hunt. Just before night she was
found by a ranger, five miles
from home. The crusted snow
made it easy walking for her and
just thaw enough that her shoe
track could be found here and
there averted what might have
been a sad happening. -Weippe

Greencreek Farm Land
Brings Good Price

Anton S. Nuxoll was in town
Monday from Greencreek and al
most floored us with the an
nouncement that he had closed a
deal on Saturday for the sale of
his 360-acre farm at Greencreek
to Joseph Schmidt for $31, 900, or
a price of 500 an acre for the
home place and $85 an acre fer
the adjoining land. Mr.. Nuxoll
retains all of the livestock and
farm machinery and will hold a
big sale on March 18th to dispose
of this property.
Mr.. Nuxoll filed on his original
homestead some twenty years ago
and cultivated the first land be-
tween Greencreek and Nezperce.
He was later married and reared
his family there and, we thought,
had become a permanent fixture
of that rich farming section. A
few years ago he added to his
original holdings by purchasing
the farm of John H. Nuxoll at
Greencreek, giving him one OF
the best tracts of land in that 10.

Bit By A Mad Dog

Ole johnson, the we'll known
stockman and rough rider from
across the Salmon, left Tuesday
morning for Portland to take
treatment at the Pasteur institute
for bite from a supposed mad
dog. Johnson was at the James
Jackson home Monday morning
and while talking the dog slipped
up from behind and bit him Sc
verely in the right hand. AS the
animal had bitten several head of
stock there was little doubt but
that it was afflicted with hydro
phobia and Mr.. johnson decided
to take no chances and came on
to this place the same day, leav-
ing the next morning for Port
land to take treatment. His
many friends here hope his in
jury will readily answer to treat
ment and that he may soon re-
turn to his home and family.

might offer better opportunities
for accumulating wealth and of

above result. Mr.. Nuxoll left
Tuesday morning for Montana to
look over parts of that state and
will take life easy for a year or
so, whether he decides to invest
there or not.
By the purchase of the above
farm Mr.. Schmidt has brought
his holdings of farm land in the
Greencreek section up to a total
of 1910 acres, making him one of

Bad Fire at GrangeviIIe

A fire which started in some
unknown manner last night in
the old Schwalbach flour mill at
Grangeville destroyed The mill
and the E. S. Sweet barn nearby
and burned several dwellings.
The heavy wind that was blow
ing made it impossible to fight
the flames, which had secured
great headway before being dis
covered. In the Sweet barn
twelve head of fine livestock were
burned, including two fine stall
lions and several resistered cattle,
and the hired man, who was
sleeping in the barn, had a mar
row escape. The flour mill was
owned by Isaac Zehner and was
recently fitted up with new ma
chinery at considerable expense.
The amount of the damage has
not yet been estimated but will
run quite high. It was fortunate
for Grangeville that the fire did
not start in the center of town,
as it would have swept every
thing in its path.

GRAIN SACKS
CLIMBING HIGH
Now Quoted at 13 IL Cents
and May Go Much Higher
Farmers May Use Field
Granaries.

A new record price for grain
bags with prospect of still fur
ther advances is another result
of the European war, the quota
tions at the present time being
133 cents for wheat bags and
from IL toa123 cents for oat bags.
j ne purchases for the Pacific
coast will not exceed so per cent
of the demand and the prospect
for getting new shipments in for
the 1916 season are not encourag-
ing.
The bags for the Pacific coast
come from Calcutta, India, and
the bulk of the production has
been purchased by England to be
u led in thesconstruction of forti-
fications in the field, the bags
being. used to hold earth in place.
The present Lewiston quotation
is from 6 to 8 cents higher than
the normal price but few years
ago a general shortage resulted
in the price approaching the quo
tstion now made. 1t is explained
that importations to reach the
Pacific coast in time for the 1916
season, must leave Calcutta as
early as April by direct shipments
and the ships are not now avail
able for such cargoes.
Under ordinary conditions, re-
lief might be secured through the
construction of elevators to han
d e the grain in bulk but with the
uncertainty as to the per cent of
the 1916 crop to be handled to
the eastern markets. the con-
struction of elevators is practic-
ally out of the question. 1t is
explained that the construction
of elevators of sufficient capacity
to store the delivery at any of
the Lewiston country points is
entirely impractical and with an
uncertainty as to the way the
grain will move, there is little
likelihood of an extensive effort
being made to handle the 1916
crop in this manner.
The advices received here are
that the price of bags will proba-
bly, recede following the close of
the war until normal or even
prices below normal will prevail,
and the only hope that can be Of
fered this season is that the
prices paid for the 1916 crop will
be sufficiently high to warrant
the additional investment neces-
sary to secure the bags.
Reports received from Nezperce
are that the Farmers union is
planning the construction of an
elevator at Nezperce and it is
probable a second elevator will
be installed at lilo or some point
between lilo and Nezperce. The
capacity of these elevators has
not been indicated but it is no
presumed the farmers will at
tempt to provide sufficient ele'
vator storage for all of the grair
handled by them.
The farmers have been negli
gent this season in the matter oi
purchasing their bags, the esti
mate made yesterday being thai
only a very small per cent of the
bags received have been con
tracted for by the farmers. II
past seasons the Farmers unions
throughout eastern Washington
and central Idaho have contractet
extensively early in the year t,
supply the demands of their mem
bers. but few contracts of thi
class have been made this year

Former Saloon Proprietor Bound Over
to Grand Jury on Charge OF Sell

Charged with selling intoxicating
liquors in anti-saloon territory, Hen

vaert's soft drink parlor, which he
has been operating at the old saloon
location since Moline went dry. Ar

tive Otto Halter. A key, half-filled
with liquid said to be beer, was
found connected with one of the fau-
Gets back of the bar The other fau-
Get was connected with keg of near

The case is the first of its kind to
develop in Moline since the city went
