RIVERS GO ON RAMPAGE.

The expected raise in the Clearwater
rivers came Monday night following a
sultry hot day and warm winds in the
fore part of the night reached the snow
in the high mountains. Owing to cool
weather the snow in the foothills had
just begun to melt and added to that in
higher ranges every gulch belched per-
feet torrents which swelled the rivers
nearly up to their highwater mark.
As both the Middle and South Forks
of the Clearwater rivers raised about
the same time this year, the conse-
quences were that there was consider
able back water in the lower part of
Kooskia, while stream of water came
rushing down the streets nearest the
stream, although not deep enough to
do any damage, but caused considerable
annoyance to a few that resided in that
section.
The Kooskia NJ. & p. company suf-
fered a heavy loss through the washing
away of an abutment at the east end
of their dam which extends cross the
river above town, and giving vent by
which the water is running around the
end of the dam cutting considerable
of the adjoining bank away. just how
much it will cost to repair the break
will be hard to estimate until the river
goes down.
Reports came Tuesday morning that
the telephone lines below and up the
river had been washed away cutting Off
Communication with other points by
river route.
The damage to roads near the rivers
will be considerable and shut off trave
to some extent, especially mail to the
| Tahoe section As result of cooler
weather the rivers have fallen and nc
doubt the danger point is passed.

Because you claim exemption from
draft, it by no means follows that you
are exempt. For the information of
the war department you should make
a claim now if you intend to prose
cute it. Some persons will be exempted
on account of their occupations or
offices, some ON account of the fact
that they have relatives dependent up
on them for support. Your answer
touching these things will be important
in supporting the claim you now intend
to make in your answer to the present
questions. Be sure, therefore, that the
grounds you now state are in conform
ity with your answers to questions

as exempting you, use one of the fol-
lowing terms: If you claim to be an
executive, legislative or judicial officer
of the state or nation, name your Of

quantities and washing and destroying
fields and crops that have been planted
this spring. The river is out of its
banks and flowing over the low lands.
Many of our citizens along the river
were compelled to move out during the
evening. Fred Huffman, Laurence
Howard, J. Brown and II. E. Wernicke
moved their families into town. The
homes of p. f. Ellis, II. G. Oliver, G. M

homes were surrounded by water and
fine gardens destroyed. The water was
running down Main street below the
post office. People watched the water
closely throughout the night in fear oil

the entire city was under water. A

ANOTHER PIONEER CLOSES LIES
TANKS

TA6A6.
Friday evening, May IL, at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. May B. Meyer, Of
White Bird, Idaho, Mrs. j. w. Freeman
peacefully ended long and active
career after a brief illness. Being in
her 10Th year when signs of sunset
appeared, other children and grand
children were summoned and her last
moments were blessed by their presence.
Grandma Freeman as she was affec-
tionately termed by large circle of
friends, was the first woman to make
her residence in Price Valley, Idaho now
known as Tamarack, a few miles from
the present town of Meadows. Her
girlhood days were spent in Nelson
County, Virginia, under the name Of
Sale V. Baker where she was born In
1888. In the year 1858 she was mar.
ried to j. w. Freeman of Culpepper
County, Virginia. With the true spirit
of empire builders they faced the
mighty west with its alluring unknown
and blazed the way through mountain,
valley and plain, pushing back the from
tier as they came and at last rested in
the peaceful little valley of central
Idaho.
Undaunted by the hardships that sur
| rounded them, they built happy and
prosperous home surrounded by eight
| sturdy sons and daughters who were
| educated and trained at the knee of the
cultured Christian mother, and today she
leaves three generations to bless the
land she strove so hard to redeem fol-
those who were to follow.

She don't want her rustic furniture

And those paintings, which so long

By that old artist king the Sun,
Torn down and scattered,
And dragged in civilization s gutter,
Or sold to purchase settlers bread and
butter.
Idaho owes much to the founders OF
her empire who subdued the soil, opened
transportation, builded churches anG
schools and homes, but to no one doe.
she owe more than to this sturdy Vir
ginia family presided over by this low
ing Christian mother, who gave the
very best in her life always to any who
came to her suffering or in want. She
enlightened the heart as well as the
head of all who knew her and was
known by all as the Grandmother OF
the Valley
Heaven will be the brighter upon hei
arrival where she will wait to beacon
and greet those she has left behind. AL

peaceful little valley where she live,
and labored SO long, and now lies besid,

there in June, 1910. While she is gone
her life remains an active influence tina
will be potential for all that is good an,
noble as long as time lasts. May w
that remain be true to the standard tina

HARD ROADS ARE NECESSARY
Big Essential in Using Trucks for
Transportation of Farm Products
to City Markets.

The farm truck is destined to play
an important part in the marketing Of
farm produce, but in the meantime
much attention must be paid to the
roadways over which they are to be
operated, in the opinion of w. II. San
ders, instructor in farm motors in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
ITO use a truck to advantage hard
roads are necessary" said Mr.. San
ders. Trucks have been used with
marked success for number Of years
on paved streets. Although they were
used to transport food and water to
the United States troops during the
recent occupation of Mexico, the war
department soon decided that hard
roads were requirement in operating
trucks to the best advantage.
"Use of truck on the farm saves
time and reduces the number of men
required to do the farm hauling. When
truck Is operated on the farm great
er care will be used in laying out the
fields so as to give more efficient use
of power expended. Time will be
saved, because less time will be spent
on the road between town and the
farm. The number of farm hands
WILL also be reduced"

HIGH CHECKING NOT FAVORED
People Beginning to Realize Horse Is
More Beautiful In Natural State
Hard on Colts.

In recent years there has been q
falling off In the habit Of using the
check-rein on horses. at least to ex-
tremes. People with good taste have
come to realize that horse is more
beautiful in its natural state and that
high checking will ruin any animal.
There are some principles governing
the use of the check-rein which every
body who is humane agrees to.
Draft horses should have the free
use of their heads unhindered. Driv-
Ing horses should only be checked
when necessary for their proper con-
troll. Check-reins cause more stlft
shoulders and weak knees than an
other causes combined.
Colts should not be made to endure
the biting bride over fifteen minutes
at time. To keep 1t on half day,
as some do, Is to inflict one of the
worst punishments possible. Some
colts are permanently injured by It,

FOR SUCCESS WITH ALFALFA
Any Type of Soil, Well Drained, Free
of Weeds and Of Reasonable
Fertility VIII Do.

Alfalfa may be successfully raised
on almost any type of soil providing
that 1t is well-drained, free of weeds
and in reasonable state of fertility.
Good drainage must be provided.
The ground must be made free of
weed seeds.
Soils lacking in fertility should be
well-manured, as alfalfa requires large
amounts of plant food. If sufficient
manure is not to be had, 1t should be
supplemented with commercial fer
tllizer rich in phosphoric acid and
potash.
If the soil is sour, 1t must be lined
before alfalfa can do WELL

HUMUS ONE OF ESSENTIALS
1t Prevents Cohesion of Soil Grains
Into Solid CIods-Farmers Arc
Urged to Rotate.

Humus Is one of the essentials In
soils. 1t prevents cohesion of the SOL
grains into solid clods. II prevents
land from becoming sticky. Every
farmer is urged to rotate his crops,
blowing under good sod of clover or
some legume as often as the rotation
calls for, the purpose being to increase
humus. Stable manure, in which is
mixed the straw and corn stalks, an
swers the same purpose. BY all means
put back into the soil MS much humus
as the fields have grown or. you will
come face to face with lessened fer
tility and difficult farming.

CAREFUL IN SHIPPING
Utmost Vigilance Urged to Pre-
vent Foods From Spelling.
Weather Reports Should Be Utilized
In Studying conditions-Shipper
Should Cooperate Closely
With Carrier.

CFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Shippers at this time should exer-
else unusual care in packing and load
Ing their perlshable products. They
should grade their products carefully
with reference to the degree of their
maturity and select nearby market
for the ripened products and a distant
market for the products that will hold
up the necessary time in transit to
reach the distant market. Weather re-
ports should be utilized in study of
the weather conditions that are pre-
vaillng In the different large markets,
to the end that foodstuffs that normal
ly are consumed In large quantities In
warm weather may not be sent to mar
kets where cool or cold weather Is
prevailing.
There should be fuller recognition
Of the joint responsibility of the ship
per with the carrier for the safe car
riage of food products to destination,
the specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture point out.
Shippers should cooperate closely with
carrier by giving ample instructions
with reference to refrigeration and
ventilation, to the end that food prod
ucts may be properly conserved in
transit and reach channels Of consump-
ton. Railroad agents could render
useful service If they were instructed
In some of the most fundamental
things connected with the proper care
Of perishable shipments during the Pc
riod of loading carload shipments at
country stations.
Shippers too frequently, through
of the proper methods of protecting
perlshable shipments, leave wagon
loads of them exposed to the hot sun
for hours at time instead of loading
them promptly Into Il refrigerator car
and keeping the doors of the car
closed between loads. The carriers
representative or local agent usually
takes notice of such condition only for
the purpose of recording the circum-
stances for consideration In connection
with damage claims that may be filed.
The fact frequently Is overlooked that
the carrier may render definite assist
ance in the conservation of foodstuffs
by cooperating with the shippers and
giving them all the information which
1t has as to the proper methods that
should be used.
Shippers should invariably notify
cOnSigneeS as soon MS ShipmentS are
forwarded from point Of origin. Where
the distance to market is short, the no.
tification should be given by wire, so
that the consignees may be In posi-
ton to take more prompt delivery Of
shipments on arrival and thus elm
mate the deterioration that so fire.

shipments long periods of time after
