SUNSHINE AND WARM Wealth
Err FACILITATE WORK. YIELD
OF WHEAT IS FAIR

BOISE.-The week was generally
fair with moderate temperatures and

outdoor work and farm operations
were carried on at good speed. Veg
citation made normal advancement
and truck and fruit crops are matur-
ing rapidly.
Wheat thrashing is in full swing
in Kootenai, Latah, Clearwater, Idaho,
Adams, Twin Falls, and Bonneville
counties. The yield is better than
expected in Latah county, but it IS not
up to expectations in Twin Falls
county with considerably less smut
than was present in last years crop;
in the other counties named the yield
is variable, ranging from fair to good.
Down in Bear Lake county winter
wheat is ripening fast. Up in the
Spokane valley, Kootenai county, far
mers are busy seeding winter wheat.
Recent rains have put the soil In x
cellent condition and an exceptionally
large acreage will be sown in that
county.
Alfalfa is making splendid growth
in the irrigated sections, but IN the
higher meadows of the northern and
eastern counties the late crop is
somewhat light. In the Lewiston val
ley the third cutting is about har-
vested, but in most sections the third
cutting will not be ready for some
little time yet. Range conditions CON
tinue good generally, although there
is some complaint from the southern
counties that the fall and winter
range feed will be poor on account
of the present lack of moisture. How

COST OF ENVIRONMENTS

Official figures of the cost of the 16 cantonments built last summer furnish quarters for the National Army show only of these that at Amer. ican Lake, Wash, within the estimate made by the Government. The others all above the esti- mates, some of them much $100 for each to be quartered in them. Camp Sherman, at Chilli cothe, O., and Camp Meade at Annapolis Junction, Md, share the questionable honor of greatest cost the former having to $25O.57 per and the latter to $254. The average of all the 16 canton ments $22O, compared with estimate of $15S made by the War Department.
 AS the cantonments of permanent nature, designed to take of subsequent quotas of the army, for training purposes after the war, the question of whether they worth what they cost will be determined largely by the to which they put. So far there has been evidence to show graft in the building of the cantonmens the excessive cost being due to unexpected difficulties encountered and high prices of materials.

MIR. JOHN OLIVER, PREMIER
Vancouver Province)

Vancouver Provnce)
 The election of the Premier by the caucus or gov ernment supporters in Legislature has brought to that position Mir John Oliver, who was acting Pre- mier in the last days of Mr Brewsters administra- tion It appears from the reports that this IS com promise election reached several ballots, in which Dr. King and AttorneyGeneral Paris were the lead ing competitors. Choice by caucus, like the selection presidential candidate by convention, IS apt to work out in this way. Yet MT. Oliver has all along been regarded with by many in the party, and if the members of the late cabinet had been left to make the selection from their number IL IS not ul
 likely that they would have intimated this choice to the LieutenantGovernor. MT. Oliver was leader or opposition before MT Brewster and 1t was his defeat which gave MT. Brewster his opportunity
 It had been reported that Mir. Oliver was not am bilious for the premiership, that if he was he did make any effort to secure it. He had heavy task on his hands the railway problem in addition to the department of agriculture, and might well be satisfied with that responsibility In fact he has not been able to give much attention to agriculture The the difficult and critical of all since the pro- vince has become owner and builder of railways seems hardly likely that MT. Oliver will hold this position along with agriculture and the premiership He has shown some determination in dealing with the railway problem.
