He demanded the resignation of members of the Board
of Regents who refused to obey his unjust demands.
While considering the educational appropriations BILL
after the adjournment of the Legislature he called
meeting of the members of the Board of Regents of the
University in his office and made them understand that
they must comply with his will that he would close the
University by cutting off its entire appropriation for
the ensuing two years
Failing to find the Board of Regents a sufficient
number of who would be subserent to his dictatn

An Appeal for Workers

The Nezperce Red Cross auxil-
iary, organized at the same time
Cottonwood organized, has COM
pleted its first box Of work. The
auxiliaries are required to report
the amount of finished work on
hand each week. On Monday
Cottonwood must send in its first
report and there is not one fin
ished garment.
We have an organization here
of over 1O4 members, money be-
ing raised to carry on the work
in good shape. The officers are
devoting a generous portion of
their time to their duties and yet
the women Of this community so
far have shown little, if any, de-
sire to make this auxiliary a sue
cess. It is true the Red Cross
needs money but labor is far
more necessary. Completed gar
ments from all over the country
are being rushed to the distribu-
ton centers. Can't Cottonwood
women do their bit?
The society meets every Thurs
day afternoon in the council
room. Work can be taken home
and will be given out on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Saturday af-
ternoons. The librarian has
kindly consented to hand out
work on library afternoons. All
patriotic women Of this commu-
nifty are urged to come and help
US.

A FewlHoes and
Grain Pay for Barn

C. T. Staal was in town Mon
day from his farm north of the
city and reported the sale and de-
livery of 43 head of shoats to the
Cottonwood Milling & Elevator
company for which he received a
check for 1896. 4S. He had sold
IL head a few days before, re-
ceiving $964.42 for the 81 head,
and also recently disposed of IS
sacks of wheat at the high notch
and got 1857 for the same, and
figures that the wheat and hogs
brought him enough money to
pay for the new barn he has been
wanting to build for some time
past. .
We doubt very much if one
could get much of an argument
out of Charlie just now about the
farmer being a poor, down-trod-
den creature at the mercy of the
rest of humanity.

Conditions DeplOrabIe
Along Clearwater

E. L. Parker returned Sunday
evening from his trip to Kooskia
and Sites and reports conditions
very bad down along the river.
The bridges at both towns were
carried away, leaving no connect
ing link between the towns and
railroad stations, while many
residences were flooded in both
towns and several were washed
away and with their contents are
entirely lost to the owners. All
along the river homes were dam
aged by the high water and farms
badly washed and it is hard to
estimate the damage done in that
part of the county but it will
easily reach a total Of 500, 900.
Application has been made for
state aid to replace the two
bridges but it is not known if
funds are available for such pur-
pose or not. The damage to the
two towns is heavy and leaves
the citizens sadly depressed as
they realize that their work of
rebuilding may be again washed
away at any time by a recurrence
of high water. About the only
way to control the food water is
to rip-rap the stream at both
towns and this expense would be
almost prohibitive.

livestock was lost in the flood. 1t
is reported that a great number
of dead horses and cattle were
seen in the Clearwater between
Harpster and the Dewey last
week. Someone also saw a deer
floating in the river. 1t is very
likely that the most of these died
before the flood by starvation
and were washed down by the
high water. 1t is said that a
team of horses with harness was
seen going down the river at
Sites. However, it is not known
whose they were.
The water ran into the houses
in many places, especially at
Kooskia. People will probably
leave the flats after this and be-
gin to build a little higher up.
At Sites the sidewalk between
the depot and the town is entire
ly gone and the land up to the
warehouses is washed away.
These are only a few details of
the curious and unbelievable
things the old river did in its
fury-Free Press.

Plan to Build SiIo

The season to build a silo is
here. Silos are to be found in
every state of the Union. Idaho
has only a few hundred and it is
our opinion that the stock farmer
of Idaho could make no better in
vestment than to have a silo.
Three hundred thousand silos are
filled and emptied annually in the
U. S. The owners of these silos
exemplify the strict business
methods for efficient farming so
necessary in these days of war.
why build a silo?" is a question
no longer needing to be answered
because the great number of.silos
in use is the most convincing
proof of the value of them.
Farmers of Idaho, to economic
and save your crops, plan to build
a silo this summer and plant the
crop to fill it before winter sets
in. Why are bankers willing to
make loans to build silos? They
realize that a silo will increase
the saving in the corn crop by 80
per cent, that it will increase the
stock-carrying capacity of the
farm 20 per cent, that it con-
serves the entire corn plant, that
it provides a succulent, uniform
and palatable feed for the entire
year, and that it stimulates the
milk flow of the cows. A silo is
the cheapest and most efficient
store-house for feed on the farm.
1t will store eight tons of silage
in the same space required for
one ton of hay. Not alone on
actual storage room but chiefly
on actual nutrients stored should
the emphasis be placed. We find
that a ton of clover hay contains
about 1000 pounds of digestible
feeding nutriments. Eight tons
of silage occupying the same a.
mount of space has in it 1000
pounds of nutriments, or just
twice as much. Noting these
facts, which would be the cheap.
er to build-a 100-ton silo or a
800-ton barn to store hay? A
silo will pay for itself in three
years and has been known to dc
so in some instances in one year.
With high-priced alfalfa and
grains many farmers were caught
unprepared during the past win.
ter and spring to furnish feed to
their stock. Those with silos suf.
fered much less loss in produc.
tion of milk, or beef, or mutton.
P reduction is and should be the
aim of all farmers in these days
of war necessity. Increased pro
duction in all lines of stock rails
ing is necessary, and in no man
ner can it be more easily anC
better solved than by using {
silo. The silo will increase pro
duction, it will conserve feed, il
will help solve the winter-feedine
problem and give the greatest re
turns when market prices fol
butterfat are highest.
The disastrous losses in produc
tion, and in many instances tn,
selling of the stock that occurred
last winter, should not occur a

gain. Action to prevent such
losses for the coming year should
be adopted, for we need in par
ticular every dairy cow, because
dairy products will be more in
demand than ever before. The
meat supply will go to feed the
nations armies, hence the dairy
products will find greater con-
sumption at home.
The dairy department will
gladly assist and advise anyone
regarding silos and silage.

A Letter From the Front
Garfield, Utah, June 2, 1917.
Dear Father

Garfield, Utah, June 2, 1917.
Dear Father
/ received your well
come letter this morning, also
the tablet and envelopes.
We are stationed here at Gar
field, about 10 miles west Of Salt
Lake City. The mills and smell
ter of the Utah Copper Co. are
here, and we are guarding them
now. We go on. guard for "a
hours and then are off duty for
"a hours. The mill and smelter
are the largest in the world. The
superintendent told US that the
profits in one week amount to
81, 100000. The company get
enough gold, silver and lead from
the ore to pay all running ex-
penses. About 5000 men, mostly
Greeks, are employed in the smell
ter, and we expect some trouble
with them on registration day.
The superintendent says that he,
personally, knows of more than a
thousand revolvers among the
Geeks. So, you see, we have
some job on our hands. When
on guard we always carry loaded
guns and have very strict orders
about letting anyone through the
lines. The Copper Co. has built
US a fine mess-hall, bath house
and sleeping rooms, and we feel
more like home than any time
since leaving home. We are short
of men and cannot do all the
guard work we are supposed to.
Yesterday morning we had to re-
lieve 81 men but only had % men
to do it, SO the captain cut out q
few posts. We have charge of
the entire copper-lead mining
district around here and it sure
keeps us busy.
Just a few minutes ago we got
our third typhoid inoculation and
we are immune now for five
years. We surly need it, too,
living around these dirty Greeks
and Japs. / have not yet been
transferred to the medical corps
and have slight hopes Of ever be-
ing transferred. asked the
Captain about it nearly every day
at Boise but / guess he decided
that he needed me worse than
did the medical corps. / am as
tough as an, old piece of bull meat
and can stand nearly anything.
l am surprised at myself, / tell
you.
We had pay day on May 9Th,
but only got six dollars, federal
pay. The state has not paid us
yet. We expect another pay day
Tuesday, when we get a months
wages. We don't need money
during the month for tobacco,
etc, We have a company can
teen where we buy those things
and they give us checks just like
meal tickets and pay up on pay
day.
1t is dinner time now and | will
have to- quit. I didn't get any
breakfast, as / was on guard.
Tell Felix and Leo that they will
never regret joining the army
and, for heavens sake, don't
wait and let themselves be draft
ed. The captain said that all
conscripts will sure have one
deuce of a hard time.
With love,
Hugo Funke.

HIGH WATER
MAKES RECORD
Clearwater Flood Last Week
Defied Puny Efforts of Man
and Swept Out Bridges and
Did Great Damage.

Gay week contributed a record IN
the history of all the streams in
the county. At the electric light
company's dam on the south fork
the gate houses were entirely
washed away and great volumes
Of water rushed down the fiume
carrying with it boulders and
drift. Great rocks weighing tons
were washed up and over the
dam. The water came to a high
er level than was ever seen be-
fore in the history of the river.
The gardens along the flats were
ether inundated or washed away.
The water completely covered
the gardens of the old Charley
Brown place. Further down the
river Joe Bakers garden was al
together ruined, much of the soil
being washed away. The water,
in fact, came clear up to Joe's
door.
The Harpster bridge was well
defended but could not be saved.
In the morning when it was seen
that the high waters were going
to endanger their bridge, the cit
izens turned out with pike poles
and other tools to ward off the
piles of driftwood which were
pounding against the piers of the
bridge. This procedure was sue
cessful for a time but the water
kept raising until it flowed over
the top of the bridge. AS a last
resort the defenders made one
end of the bridge fast with the
cable of a Hercules stump puller.
They fastened the cable to the
timbers at the end of the bridge
and then passed it around two
trees near the bank. 1t was then
passed around two other trees
ia "ther off, securely anchoring
the bridge, as they thought.
They considered that if the struc-
tn e was dislodged it would float
around to the bank and remain
anchored. But when the final
crash came it was seen that the
force of the waters had been un-
derestimated. The current of
the river was flowing at the rate
of fifteen miles an hour. Besides
the water was backed up behind
the bridge to about the depth of
two feet. A large amount of
driftwood was accumulated also
and when the break came the
wooden structure tore away from
the cable, leaving nothing but a
few timbers and some twisted
bolts.
The violence of the flood is evil
dent to any observer at the pres
ent time although the water has
gone down several feet. The
island at Harpster was swept
clean of the timber which form
erly covered it and is now piled
high with driftwood. There is
no trace left of the embankment
roadway which led up to the
bridge.
The Harpster bridge when it
cut loose fioated straight down
the river and reached Sites in
just As minutes. The first bridge
III s path was Houston's bridge,
a wooden structure which Hous-
ton had built himself. He had
thought it secure, since it was
founded on large rock in the
center of the river. 1t was partly
torn apart when the bridge struck
it, when it gave way entirely. In
like manner the Sites and Koos-
kia bridges went. Of the four
the Kooskia structure was the
newest and the most valuable. II
was constructed partly of steel
and partly of wood and cost about
$40, ZOO.
