Raises Thoroughbred Poultry

E. T. Stolz of Greencreek who
has been raising thoroughbred
poultry in Idaho county for some
years was a Cottonwood business
visitor this week. Mr.. Stolz at
the present time has 100 thorough
bred chickens on his farm, his
main variety being the Rose
Comb Rode Island Reds which he
has raised for the past ten years
and which he considers to be one
of the best laying varities for
Camas prairie. The past two
years he has also been engaged in
raising White Wyandotte and has
also just started to experiment
with Black Minorcas.
Last year he sold 165 settings of
eggs, Is eggs to setting, during
the months of March, April and
May besides using 800 eggs for his
own use and from which he raised
450 fine birds.
MIR. Stolz uses scientific means
in raising his poultry, feeding be-
ing done by weighing out so much
feed for each pen, keeping an ac
curate record of all eggs layed
each day and etc. At the end of
each month he is then in posses
sion of information that few poul-
try men strive to possess. He
knows exactly what each pen of
birds cost in the outlay of feed
and what their returns have been
to him.
He stated that poultry raising
has not been as profitable to him
as years gone by, due to the high
cost of feed and the recent drop
in the price of eggs. He also
stated that he had accurate .infor-
nation concerning his flock, which
if put in print, many would doubt
as such, but'will be glad to show
anyone who is interested.
Poultry raising according to U,
s. government reports ranks
among one of the leading indus
tries Of the nation and with some
good system to follow we cannot
see why it could not be made a
profitable business on Camas Pra-
irie or at least a fine side line for
the farmers.

Huge Sum for Educational Insti'
tutions So ,0I7,5S6 is Appro-
priated by State Legislature

Measures of great interest to
every citizen in Idaho taken up
and acted upon by the state leg
islature and governor during the
past week are as follows.
Governor Davis signed the am
endatory act which eliminates the
statewide primary on the nomina-
tion for congressional, state and
judicial candidates and substitu-
tes state conventions for parties.
This action was taken through an
agreement reached with legisla-
tive leaders and the governor that
the former would amend the bill
removing some of the objections
the chief executive had to it.
The legislature kept its word
and introduced and passed under
suspension Of therules the amend
ments. They change the date of
the primary from the third to the
second Tuesday in August and
permit those desiring to run for
office, in the event they are not
selected, to become candidates on
petitions signed by five members
of their party.
The democrats in the house
asked for a short time to consider
the bill and a recess Of 20 minutes
was taken, after which they per-
mitted the rules to be suspended,
passing it, but, with the exception
of Snowof Lemi and Pugh of Gem
voted against it. The republicans
supported it solidly.
The house passed the general
appropriation bill for financial
support of state educational insti-
tutions. The measure carried a
grand total Of $2.017 $50.
Completion of Idaho's new
capitol building was one step
nearer as. the resultiof the, action

A. C. JOHNSON
DIES FRIDAY
Pioneer Resident of Nezperce
Prairie Passes Away At the
Home of His Daughter

Senator A. ]. Johnson, a, pion-
eer resident of Nezperce prairie
died here last Friday at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. J. B. Nc
Culley, his only surviving near
relative from complications Incl
dent to old age. Mr.. Johnson,
who was 80 years of age was
stricken with a paralytic stroke
a few years ago from which he
never fully recovered.
Senator johnson settled on the
Nezperce reservation near Nez-
perez when the prairie was first
opened up for settlement and or
years was engaged in farming.
After retiring from his farm he
became more or less interested in
politics and when Lewis and
Clearwater counties where created
out of old Nez Perce county he
was elected joint senator from
these two counties. He was also
a member of the G. A. r. and has
also been honored by that organi-
zation.
Mr.. Johnson was man of
strong character. and enjoyed the
very highest regard of his neigh
bors, and this was especially true
in his home community where he
was known to almost every man,
woman and child.
He came to Cottonwood this
fall to make his home with his
daughter, Mrs. j. B. McCulley,
who made his remaining days as
pleasant as possible and his death
was not unexpected as he had
been growing weaker day by day.
The death of Mr.. johnson,
takes another one of those sturdy
old pioneers who faced the hard
ships Of the early days, and whose
number are decreasing fast year
by year. A
The remains were prepared for
shipment by Undertaken Nau and
shipped to his old home at Nez-
pence Sunday morning where the
funeral services where held the
same day. The services were at
tended by his many friends at
the Lewis county metropolis.
The body was laid to rest in the
Nezperce cemetery.

Company Completes Bridge

The Security Bridge Company
of Lewiston has completed the
1923, 900 bridge across Salmon
river at Whitebird. This bridge
has been a needed improvement
for the Salmon river people for
some time and its completion will
add materially to the future de-
velopment Of that section.
Good roads and a few more
bridges will make the Salmon
river country one of most pros
porous sections of the county.
In times past several lives were
lost each year by persons trying to
cross Salmon river when it was
on its rampage and with the
completion of this bridge as we'll
as several others which are under
consideration, the fording Of the
river which is a most dangerous
undertaking under good condi-
tions will be eliminated.
