WILL ASK FOR
ROAD DISTRICT

JULIAETTA, Jan. 23.-Last week a
meeting was held in Kendrick and as
other one in Troy with the view of
completing plans for a highway dis
trict. The meetings resulted i'll both
towns joining heartily in the move
ment, the original plans of e. W. Por-
ter having been changed and enlarged
so as to include POS sections of land
and representing valuation of $5,-
100000 within the boundaries of the
proposed highway.
Petitions have been prepared and
are being literally signed by the tax
payers within the proposed district
and will be presented to the board of
county commissioners at Moscow
within q few days.
The valuation of the property with
in the proposed highway district is
estimated as follows: Land, $4,000
600; town property. $1,000,000; rail
road property. $1,000,000; personal
S1,000,000.
The commercial clubs of Troy eKn-
dlick and Juliaetta ,as well as all the
leading business men of the three
towns, are heartily in favor OF the dis
trict being created and the boundar-
les have been definitely laid out and
agreed upon.
There seems to be no question that
when the matter is submitted to
vote of the people for bonding the dis
trict to raise the necessary funds the
bond issue will carry by a substantial
majority.

Property at the corner of B and

organized Moscow Country club last
night when the two organizations
were merged. The proposition of clos

PROSPECT FOR FISH HATCHERY

Deputy Game Warden James keane.
Of Moscow, was in the city several
days this week on official business
Mr. keane stated while here that
things were shaping around so that
there might be a good chance through
the efforts and hearty cooperation of
the sportsmen of this section, to lanG
fish hatchery III this vicinity, says
the ,Grangeville Globe. That is some
thing that the fishermen here have
talked of for a number of years, anu
it is generally agreed that there is mo-
better location anywhere than Oh
John creek, between Grangeville and
County Commissioner Longs place
The natural conditions there are
so favorable that a hatchery could be
at nominal cost.
E. A. Day, who has been working on
this matter for a number of months,
says the lake on the D. c. Keriee
place is an ideal location for the
that conditions could not be
more favorable. The commercial club
has taken the matter up.

The second day of the Farmers and
Housekeepers' and the Merchants
and Bankers weeks at the university
shows an increased attendance, es-
pecially in the merchants and bankers
I sections. which have grown with the
arrival of every train. Ranchers are
also beginning to come in, and by
Thursday those in charge of the IN
stitutes expect record attendances.
A most interesting session was had
in the farmers section this morning,
when fertilizer requirements and ro-
tatiops of Palouse silt loan was dis
cussed by P. P. Peterson of the uni
versity staff ,and root crops and ro-
tations was discussed by j. S. Jones,
director of the experiment station
Both lectures were illustrated and
proved of great interest to the ranch
ers present
Professor Peterson showed in his
address and with slides the benefits to
be derived from nitrogenous fertil-
izer. such as ammonium sulphate and
sodium nitrate B. T. Byrns, and nine
other ranchers at the professors sug-
gestion, volunteered to take lao
pounds of ammonium sulphate and 240
pounds sodium nitrate to be used this
season on specified plots in accordance
with the suggestions offered at the
lecture.
Grain and Root Rotations
Mr.. Jones explained the value OF
rotating grain crops with root crops,
and cited instances where increases
as high as II per cent had resulted
from such rotation, where sugar beets
were included. The interesting fact
that Napolean Bonaparte gave the TO-
tation theory its first impetus when
he demanded that all French planters
should practice it was brought out III
the course of Professor Jones in
teresting remarks.
n. l.. Hills, research soil bacter-
ologist, recently of the University OF
Wisconsin, discussed the function OF
facteria in the soil, and pointed out
that soil is more than inert soil. His
lecture was of equal interest TO both
layman and rancher.
Merchants and Bankers
Discussions of freight problems IN !
Idaho we're prominent on the mer- |
chants and bankers programs this
morning. G. B. Graft, secretary OF |
the tariff commission, Boise, eX-
plained some of the difficulties of fix
ing rates, and explained the long and
short haul. C. B. Green, in discus
sion which followed, took the position
that railroads are subjected to too
much regulation and legislation. He
was opposed in his theories by P. L.
postmaster at Standpoint. who
stated that what is really needed is
more regulation. C. E. Arney, Nor
