VIII Form Fire Company

A meeting was held in the city
Wednesday for the organization
of a fire company and a fair at
tendance was had. The need of
an organization of the kind is
fully realized and those present
at the meeting secured the sigma
lures of some twenty-five or thir-
ty citizens who agreed to take
part in the organization. Anoth-
er meeting will be held Monday
night at which time officers will
be elected and rules and regula-
tons drafted. It is the inten-
tion to have the company prac-
tice frequently during the SUM
mer months and be in position to
promptly handle any fire that
may originate.

Farmers Should Raise Hogs

The following trade letter un-
der a Seattle date line may be of
interest to many of our readers:
It's an i'll wind that blows no.
body good. The possible en-
trance of the United States into
the European war on the side of
the Allies is believed by students
of American market conditions to
mean a fortune for American
hog growers. Hogs have already
passed the twelve and a half cent
limit and are almost certain to 90
to thirteen at an early date.
Everywhere it is admitted that
with Uncle Sam likely to take
hand in the war, it will not last
longer than next September and
many students believe that it is
sure to come to an end the COM
ing summer. This early con-
clusion of the war means a very
heavy drop in wheat, for Russia
is understood to have four crops
which will be released to the
world with the close of the con-
fict. Hogs and corn, according
to government experts who have
studied the condition from every
viewpoint, are sure to remain
high for the next three or four
years. The farmer who raises
them is sure to make a fortune.
With the close of the war, our
pork is going to be in great de-
mand in Europe, and particular
ly in among the nations involved.
Germany early in the war slaugh-
tered her hogs by the thousands
in order that the country would
not be compelled to feed them
grain, so much needed for her
armies as well as her civil popu-
lation. The shortage of pork in
Germany, as well as the other
European countries, was never
go great and will remain so for

Anton NuxOlI Is Called

Our community was shocked
Monday afternoon by the receipt
of a message from Montana am
nouncing the death of Anton S.
Nuxoll, formerly a well known
resident of this locality. The
message did not give details Of
his illness but later announced
that he had been taken suddenly
i'll within an hour after reaching
Missoula, where he had gone on
business. He was taken to the
hospital and apparently recover
ed from the attack and was able
to return to his home at st. Ig-
natius but was soon stricken
again and at once underwent an
operation for appendicitis at the
hospital in that city, but the ap-
pendix had ruptured and he died
within a short time.
The deceased was born in
Greencreek. Illinois, and was 46
years of age on the 26th of last
December. He came to this
place in 1893 and was united in
marriage couple of years later
to Miss Malinda Kopczynski. To
this union seven children were
born, five of whom are still liv-
ing. Shortly after his marriage
he moved onto his homestead at
Greencreek and resided there
continuously until last spring,
when he moved to Montana to
reside. He acquired consider
able property while residing at
Greencreek and was also doing
well at his present location. He
was a kind and loving husband
and father and good neighbor
and his untimely death will be
sincerely mourned by his family
and friends. Besides his wife
and children he leaves several
brothers and sisters and other
relatives here and several in the
east. The funeral was held at
st. Ignatius yesterday morning.
The Chronicle joins with
friends of the family in extend
ing to them sincere sympathy in
their loss.

May Grow Seed Potatoes

Do Camas prairie farmers want
to raise "spuds?"
That there will be big money
in the culture of potatoes for
many years to come is beyond
question if it is properly followed
out for a number of years.
A. C. Denny, of FreewaUer,
Ore, was in town a couple of days
the first of the week looking for
good potatoes and while here
took down the names of a num-
ber of our farmers who may be
induced to grow potatoes extern
sively the coming season. Mr..
Denny has travelled extensively
over the Northwest for his COM
pany and states he has found no
section of country to compare
with Camas prairie for the grow
ing of potatoes. This country is
entirely free from potato disease
and is ideally situated to take up
the growing of potatoes for seed
purposes. South Idaho is a great
potato growing section but cannot
produce satisfactory seed po-
tatoes for their own use and as
seed potatoes always command a
fancy price in the market it
would seem that big money could
be made here from growing po-
tatoes and without doubt some of
our more progressive farmers
will give the matter a trial.
Mr.. Denny stated his company,
the Valley Fruit Co. of Freewater
will try and interest a number of
farmers on the prairie in growing
potatoes on a somewhat extern
sive scale this season and is in
position to handle the entire
crop at very satisfactory prices,
the same as they are now hand
ling much of the fruit crop of the
Walla Walla valley.
Camas prairie can grow as fine
potatoes, and as many of them
to the acre, as any section of
country in the west and it would
seem that the growing of seed
potatoes should open for US an
almost unlimited market. Con-
siderable instruction will be nec-
essary in order to select the best
varieties and to become acquaint-
ed with the size and character of

Creamery Made Good Record

Starting on July 17th, after
the best season for cream pro-
duction for the year had passed,
the local creamery has been able
to make a very fine showing for
the first half year Of its exis-
tence. Up to January first, aft
er only 81 months of actual oper-
alton, the creamery was able to
report total output of 81, ,233
pounds of butter, and had the
year been completed this figure
would have been nearly doubled.
When it is taken into considera-
tion that the Sites creamery, af-
ter several years of operation,
made only $4,000 pounds Of but
ter last year, it can be readily
seen that the local creamery is
starting off in exceptionally fine
shape. With the increased in
terest already being shown in
dairying it is safe to say that
the output will be materially in
creased this year and that within
a few years dairying will become
one of the leading industries Of
this section.

market price, but after this is
accomplished the rest is easy.
Potatoes are now selling for So

thing resembling a spud goes.
The price is liable to go still high
er before the new crop is ready
to market.

new STATE BILL
PASSES HOUSE
Measure Now Up to Senate
Anti-Alien Bill Coming Up
Again--New Primary Law
Vote By Mail.

Boise, Feb. 19.-The division
of Idaho and the creation of a
new state out of the 10 northern
counties loomed before the legis-
lature as more of a reality to-
night than at any time since the
division fight was started. Just
before adjourning the evening
session the house of representa-
tives in committee of the whole
recommended that the division
resolution pass as amended. The
amendment strikes Adams and
Washington counties from the
proposed territory to form the
new state. On test vote taken
after the committee arose the re-
port was adopted by Al to 18, the
division advocates winning a dis
tinct victory. 1t was the first
vote taken since the resolution
was introduced and was decisive
ly in favor of it.
The southwestern Idaho advo-
Gates fought the resolution with
flibuster tactics but the north
and southeast voted for it to a
man. Speaker Alfred asked to
be and was excused from voting.
Minority Counsellor Johnston
asked for the same courtesy and
when it was denied him he voted
for the resolution. The house
adjourned without forcing the
resolution for final passage,
which was possible on the show
ing made, as but a bare majority
was necessary.
Dam Bill Through Senate
Boise, Feb. 19.-The Idaho
senate today passed the bill by
Senator Grant allowing the con-
struction of a dam in the North
Fork of the Clearwater river.
This bill will allow mill operators
to establish a dam and not be-
come common carriers, the plan,
however, to leave a free channel
for the passage of logs. 1t is
understood that with the passage
of the bill the Zelenka milling in
ests in Clearwater county will es-
tablish aplant on the North Fork.
The senate also passed the
Newport house bill permitting
state banks to take advantage of
the federal land act; the Nc
Murray gopher bounty house bill;
the Sims bill authorizing for
feiture of Carey act company
contracts; the Kiger-BaiIie-Smith
bill providing for making as
sessments of real property bien-
nially; the Walsh house bill al
lowing county mutual fire insur-
ance companies to insure school
houses; the Story house bill plac-
ing final registration day for
elections 10 days before elections;
the Bohman house bill reducing
interest rate on state logged-off
land contracts to 2 per cent for
the first five years and A per cent
for the next succeeding five
years; the Anderson house bill
requiring executive officers of
state departments % make
monthly reports.
The senate killed the memorial
to congress asking an investiga-
tion of water power monopoly in
the west.
Among the more important
bills introduced in the senate
were the following:
By Jackson, prohibiting the
sale and manufacture of cigar
cites; by Bradbury, anti-alien
act; by Rockwell, authorizing
senate and house committees to
investigate state departments to
decide on system of accounting;
by Wedgewood and others, pro-
posing amendment to constitu-
ton to empower the state to
create and enforce compulsory
workmen's compensation; fixing

dicalism to prevent strike agita-
ton.
Primary Vote BY Mail
The house of representatives
by close vote of Al to 20 re-
jected the joint resolution to pro-
vide for a one-house legislature
composed of 81 members and the
abolishment of the senate. The
resolution was championed by
Daughters, Johnson and Lucas.
At the same session the house
passed with but one vote regis
tered against it the Alfred direct
primary act which substitutes the
present primary act by a state
primary conducted en- tirely
through the mails. 1t is the
most radical reform election bill
introduced this session and was
championed on the floor by the
author, Speaker Alfred.
Under it's terms ballots would
be mailed to registered voters,
who would mail their votes back
within 80 days to the county
auditor. The votes would be
counted by the chairmen of the
three principal political parties,
who would have eight days for
the count.
EXpensiveness of the present
primary election is one objection
to it. A bill providing a return
to modified form of the conven-
ton system is pending in the
senate.
The house refused to pass the
Hussman constitutional amend
ment to abolish the office of COM
missioners of immigration, labor
and statistics. 1t also defeated
the Moody bill providing that
county auditors should post for
30 days all applications for MARI
riage licenses before their issu-
ance. The following bills were
passed:
Senate memorial urging con-
gress to pass the volunteer off
GERS retired measure; appropria-
tion of $500 for a high altitude
station, by Cowles; providing for
distribution of opinions handed
down by the supreme court, by
Moody; making office of members
of board o f optometry three
years, by Bates; allowing county
commissioners 0 buy fair
by committee on agri-
culture; appropriating $40, 900 to
enforce Carey act contracts, by
Sims.
An anti-cigarette bill was in
troduced in the senate.
Anti-Alien Act Up Again
The anti-alien land bill, which
was killed by the senate Febru-
ary 3, as the result of protests by
the Japanese embassy to the
state department at Washington,
was reintroduced in the senate
this afternoon.
The bill, which had passed the
lower house, was killed by the
senate from patriotic motives. 1t
was reintroduced today as the
result of charges made in afida-
Wits filed at Washington with
the state department that the
Japanese embassy's protest had
not resulted from orders from
Toxic but from the activities of
an Idaho attorney, C. H. Booth,
who was quoted by the afidavits
as having said he had brought
pressure to bear on the embassy
and the state department through
a Washington attorney.
Booth denies the charges, say
ing the statements are both false
and absurd. He has been SUBJ
poenaed to appear before the
senate committee Wednesday. |
He has admitted that he trans
mitted the substance of the anti
alien bill to Washington.
