That the state highway commission
has been anxious to get the work start
ed has been well known in this section
for some time which was evidenced by
private correspondence and from the
fact that the call for bids was adver-
tised three times before any satisfac-
tory offers were made for the contract,
due to war conditions. The bids accept
ed by the commission Is considered as
reasonable. BY letting them at this
time construction work is assured just
as soon as material can be moved to

North of Town.

On Monday of this week, Albert and
Louis Puzicka brought to market five
head of atsllogs that weighed 21zC
pounds, one Of the number reaching the
700 pound ma k. and were sold to the
Farmers Unipn Warehouse Co. for
shipment t0a outside markets. The
Ruzickas bought the Mrs. Callan farm
north from Grangeville something over
year ago and moved carload of
personal effects from their home neal
Poison, Mont This 700 pound hog
was brought here at that time, and
was an Ohio Improved Chester White
IN speaking Of this particular hog
Mr.. Ruzicka stated that he was three
years old last July. Before leaving
Montana they sold of his get 4,40O
worth of hogs and since coming here
they have sold $4 900 worth of porkers
making total OF $500 from this one
hog.
This in itself would seem very con
elusive evidence that it pays to raise
good hogs despite the high priced feed
On account of his size this heav,
weight was classed as trough" which
would lower the price per pound mater
tally, besides he was ''dOcked" 15(
pounds, and even then brought $1,000
The other four were pretty good sizet
specimans also and brought $14.5O an,

FOR HUMAN WELFARE
Sales of Cattle Arranged, the
Hereford Sale Set for Dec.
18 or 19.

The executive committee of the
Northwest Livestock association de-
cided last Thursday evening to post
pone this seasons exhibition until next
year on account of the Influenza cpl
demic that has been raging through
out the country The state board of
health had granted permit to hold
the show provided no indoor meetings
were held. The county board of
health, consisting of the county COM
missioners and county health officer
decided that the situation was too criti-
cal to permit raising the ban In NeZ
Perce county at this time.
The Lewiston Red Cross chapter
and the Lewiston Commercial club
had made a survey Of the situation
and reported that It Is inadvisable TO
attempt holding the show or any
public meetings at this time.
General regret was expressed that
ii was necessary to abandon holding
the show inasmuch as 1t represents
a great loss To stockmen throughout
the country.
Nevertheless" said secretary o. =.
Hendershot, human welfare must be
looked after at this time and we
would not think of holding the show
now that 1t appears clearly that il
would jeopardizc the health Of the
community and those In attendance
The members of the live stock
board present were President Thomas
j. Wren, d. $. Wallace. Il. G. Beach,
w. J. Jordan, Henry Thiessen, Dean H.

The decision of the board was I'M
animous IN abandoning the show this
year, but II was thought possible the
sale of live stock might he arranged
| for at Il later date.

 ASKED fOk AID

In Finland the troubles between the government forces and the revalution- lsts continue to grow in extent. The revOlutlOnists are declared. to have formed a government of their own. All southern Finland is said to be in the hands of the Red Guard. while the government forces in the north are as serted to have defeated and disarmed the revalutionists at various places, and have started southward to give battle to the elements of classification there. The socialists have taken a hand in the trouble. having issued a manifesto declaring that the Finnish government desires to rule the prole tariat.
 Altho. Finland has appealed to Sweden for military aid, such aid Is not likely to be rendered. On the con- trary Sweden apparently has shown it's desire to keep all of from the con troversy by closing the frontier to prevent the Red guard from obtaining weapons.
