$4,000 IN STOCK SHIPPED OFF
CAMAS PRAIRIE COUNTRY TUESDAY
MORE THAN 43 CARS TAKEN DOWN
THE HIGH LINE-SAIMON
RIVER PROVIDES MOST
OF THEM

A stock shipment consisting of 43
ears or more and what was probably the
largest shipment ever hauled down the
hill, left Camas Prairie Tuesday on its
way to market. Eighteen cars were
shipped from Grangeville and the re-
mainder were picked up at points be-
tween Grangeville and the top of the
hill. AS is usually the. case the bulk
of the stock going to make up the ship
ment came out of the Salmon river sec
tion, the cattle being in prime condition
and rolling in fat. The value of the
shipment was in the neighborhood of
800, 900 and when the fact is recorded
that this is just the beginning people
will realize the place of importance
Idaho county occupies in the stock in
dustry of not only the state but the
entire Northwest. Among the shippers
were: William Platt, Jack Morarity,
William Jones, Carl Flynn, William Me
Mahan, Mrs. Daisy, Shell Delmage,
Henry Nelson and Ed Sweet.

IN INTEREST OF STATE SCHOOL.

Norman B. Addison, formerly princi.
pal of the local high school, now Dean
of Men of the Idaho Technical Institute
of Pocatello, was in the city the first
Of the week doing publication work for
his school. Mr.. Addison is especially
appealing to young men and women
who are leaving home for technical or
business training to direct their atten-
tions to their state schools which are
organized for that purpose and which
charge no tuition.
The Idaho Technical offers two wears
of special college work for high school
graduates and two years for secondary
students in such courses as mechanics,
domestic science, agriculture and ali
business college courses and tuition Is
free and furthermore all laboratory and
shop fees have been eliminated. On
account of the war special courses have
been organized in Red Cross work,
motor operation, repair and clerical
work especially adapted for different
branches of the service. Military drill
and tactics will also be given for those
who desire il and the new gymnasium
will permit this feature to be developed
to all practical extents.
Mr.. Adkison has month 3 work of
publicity nature before the "Teeh ;"
opens ON September a. Gerald Scallon
of Grangeville was student of the
school last year.

ROAD PROSPECTS FAVORABLE.
Data on Lewis-C Clark Highway to Wash
ington-Forestry Officials Favor Plan

Encouraging reports were received the
last of the week from the Forest Service
headquarters at Missoula in connection
with the progress of the proposed Lewis
and Clark highway.
state Highway Engineer Booth was in
conference with the forestry officials
and presented an entirly new plan for
the consideration of the federal authori.
ties. Under the old application made
during the early part of the summer the
project as outlined contemplated the
construction of the entire road from
Missoula to Kooskia. The new appli
cation calls for the construction of but
one section of the proposed highway or
rather the building of that portion be-
tween Kooskia and Lowell. The latter
scheme is based upon the state appro.
priation which contemplated the con
struction of only this section.
The new application together with the
recommendation of the Missoula office
has been forwarded to the Washington
officials and will be acted upon there by
the Forest Service and the Secretary
of Agriculture.
1t is impossible at this time to state
just what action will be taken by the
Washington office, but the prospects
are extremely favorable for an early
approval of the application and little
apprehension need be felt as to the final
outcome
District Forester Silcox who is very
favorably disposed toward this project
has been ordered to Washington for
temporary duty in connection with de-.
tense work The road matter was
thoroughly discussed with him before
his departure and he is in position TO
further the work at that point. Mr..
Silcox is aware of the possibilities
which will result from this action and
he is anxious for the beginning. Noun

RESIGNS FROM POSTAL SERVICE

After a number of years of faithful
service. F. S. Munro, the oldest clerk in
years of service, has rendered his resig-
nation as clerk in the Grangeville post
office. Mr.. Munroe went in the. service
before employees were classified and
when the local office was in the third
class and has advanced from time to
time until now he has reached the limit
of salary allowed for offices of this
class. On account of failing health he
has found it necessary to resign, his doe
tors stating that the condition of his
health was such that several months
more of inside work would result
seriously. Mr.. Munro is very eff
eient man and his leaving will be mat.
ter of regret. The resignation takes
effect the first of October and his sue.
eessor will be selected from the list of
eligibles provided by the civil service
commission. We understand after a
thorough rest he will take up ranching
on his place in the Clearwater section

COMMERCIAL CLUB FATHERS Plan
TO START CRANCEV|LLE HOSPITAL

miles distant. In cases of appendicitis
or other ailments where an operation is
necessary the distance and the chances
are too great. And again we have vast
inland country tributary to Grangeville
and whose inhabitants would welcome a
hospital in this section. They are the
ones now taking the risks for in seri-
Gus accident a trip overland to the
station and an additional mileage ON the
train may mean death to more than one
person who otherwise might be saved to
life of usefulness were place to care
for the suffering located here.
A hospital in Grangville would mean
a great saving to people living in the
rural districts. During the winter and
spring when the mud is bad farmers are
oftimes required to pay from $15 to $50
fees when they call a doctor. If the
patient were brought to town the fee
would only be $3.50 and besides the
sufferer would have the advantage of
being attended by competent nurse
whose aid is oftimes as valuable as the
physician
DIR. Rains estimates that it will take
in the neighborhood of $4,000 to put the
old school building in shape to receive
patients. The structure will have to be
painted and renovated and additions put
in as the present rooms are too large.
The expense will be slightly increased
because since the building has not been
used some hoodlums broke in and tore
things up more or less. Considerable
plumbing will also be necessary. In
this way the city will get rid of an un,
slightly building in the place of which
will be one of usefulness and ornamta-
tion.
Doctors G. s. Stockton and p. J. Seal
lon are heartily seconding DR.. Rains in
the hospital movement and viii aid
him in any way they can. They will
send their patients to and will perform
their operations in the institution where
they will have the advantage of splendid
equipment and special arrangements for
taking care of their work and all this
supplemented by competent nurses.
All the business men interviewed in
regard TO the subject express themselves
in favor and viii give of their substance
and of their time to the end that our
progressive city is provided with place
where the suffering may find relief.

FIRE BURNS SIDEWALK.
Home of r. e. Bell Threatened by Burn
ing Grass-Fire Department Called.

grass fire on Idaho Avenue near the
depot Sunday was the cause of consider
able excitement for while r. f. Bell,
the station agent, and family were
principally involved. The fire started
just at the corner of the E. w. Oliver
property, the nearest house to the depot
on that street. Mr. Bell and family had
just recently rented the place and moved
in. The blaze started presumably from
a lighted cigarette or cigar stub. The
grass burned rapidly and the fire ran
into Mr.. Bells yard nearly up to the
house. A piece of sidewalk about fif-
teen feet long was burned up and quite
an extent of dry grass. The Bells first
noticed it when they were going out
and Immediately set to work carrying
water to put out the flames. They did
not wish to call the fire department
unless necessary and they carried water
until tried out. Finally they had to
summon the fire boys who speedily ar
rived on the scene with the chemical en-
gine and quickly extinguished the burn
ing grass.
This is the second fire of the kind
on the street leading to the depot. The
causes of them are not certainly known
but it is supposed they result from care
lessness in dispesing of cigarette stubs
and lighted matches. If this is not the
cause ii IS, what we would hate to ad-
init, deliberate ineendiarism. At any
rate smokers and others should take
extra precautions as fires of this charac-
ter are dangerous in the extreme. In
the present ease no greater damage re-
suited than the destruction of a section
of sidewalk, but had the occupants of
the house been away in all probability
the place would have been burnt to the
ground.
Mr.. Bell took precaution after the
fire was put out to burn all the dry
grass on the other side of his house.
The original burning took place on the
north side of the house or the side to-
ward to depot. BY removing the rest of
the inflamable material Mr.. Bell insured
himself against a similar danger in the
future.
