state Engineer K. M. Booth came up
from lewiston last Thursday night 10
tha Evergreen Pathfinding tourists
whom he was to accompany on tneis
trip from Lewiston to Grangevllie anu
M the Salmon river to New MEADOWS.
Mr.. Booth was anxious tnat the river
road be improved some, ana especiany
the rocky portion near the CON Driuge'
before the party of tourists made the
trip.
Il. Ell. Russell, cashier of the Say
ings and Trust Bank, returned last
Friday from a trip through the lniand
Empire country. Mr.. Russell traVeieu
over the Colfax, Endicott, Pullman ana
Moscow sections by auto, and made
careful inspection OF the crop condi-
tions. He says the grain Is In unusu-
ally bad condition throughout that en-
tire country which usually has most
excellent crops. Mr.. Russell further
states that the crops In the Camas
prairie country are far superior to any
section that he visited and that we
should congratulate ourselves on that
fact. This is not showing q spirit OF
selfish rivalry that would rejoice over
the misfortuLcs of others, but Is an ex-
preston of thankfulness that we are
as well off as we are and that as our
conditions are much better than many
others we should feel grateful.
Hank Humiston was thrown from a
load of hay last week at the George
Behean ranch on the Salmon river,
and was badly injured. The load
started to turn over on hill side and
Mr.. Humiston, who Is pretty heavy
and well along In years, attempted 70
jump, when his foot caught In the
rope fastened to the binding pole, and
he was thrown to the ground, lighting
on one side. The bone In the uppeS
part of the elbow joint was crushed
and he was badly bruised up. DIR.
Rains was sent for and he was taken
to the ranch that night, going as far
White Bird In Mr.. Lyda's car. Mr..
Humiston was brought out to Grange
vile by the doctor. where he Is now
taking treatment. The doctor says the
bones In the elbow viii probably have
to be wired together, and the arm may
be stiff.
Cement blocks, farm tile and well
curbing at Chester Arnold's.
A. f. Parker, state land selector,
came In Wednesday night from an ex-
tensive tour of the north end Of the
state, and is preparing to start out
again in the morning. Mr.. Parker just
fx.
where he visited Kooskia and Sites.
He says the way that country Is de-
vastated by the floods is pitiful. Spleen
did homes and gardens were wrecked
and left covered with sand and rock
and other debris, while roads were
washed away and made absolutely Inn
passable. 1t does look like something
should be done by the state and by
public spirited citizens 20 help restore
things to a normal condition in that un-
fortunate valley. The citizens are cOur-
ageous and independent and do not
like to admit that they are as hard hit
as they are; but that Is only the great
er reason why something should be done
to help them get righted.

Billie Vincent came in Monday from
his ranch over across the Clearwater,
one mile below Harpster and was at.
tending to business Bill says they are
fording the river at Harpster now, but
that 1t is little uncertain vet with
the holes washed out by the high wa
ter and the stacks of logs and other
debris which has been deposited along
the banks. The citizens who have
been accustomed to crossing on the
Harpster bridge are very anxious to
see a new bridge put In near the old
site, as they. are now largely cut Of
from communication with this side Of
the river. If they would get together
with the Clearwater Highway district
and take up the matter of new bridge
the commissioners would undoubtedly
be perfectly willing to lend substantial
aid in the matter. Billie says he has
over 100 cares Of the ranch which hf
traded his Lewiston Orchards property
for In crop this season, and win hays
half that much more in another season
He has the finest kind OF clover this
year. and Is now deha; ing In his minf
whether to cut it for hay or thresh 4
Tor seed. He has just completed !
new six-room house, the Wisner saw
mill being right at his door, and il nov
at home to his friends. He saws III
