WHEN is A MERCHANTABLE
DEED NOT MERCHANTABLE?

A very interesting case has been
filed in the district court by John w.
Wilson and his wife Clara Wilson
against Ben Johnson and his wife,
Sarah L. johnson, and the Moscow
State Bank on breach of contract.
July 26, 1919, Mr.. Wilson bought 40
acres of land near Joel and some per-
sonal property of Mr.. Johnson for
which he signed contract to pay
$4,000 for nierchantable deed The
question arose whether the deed de-
livered was merchantable on ac-
count of the death of a former owner
of the land without will. The in
strument filed shows an opinion by
Attorneys Boom and Morgan declar-
ing the deed understandable, and a
similar opinion by Attorneys Sup
piger and Ogden, and an opinion by
Attorney Oversmith declaring the
deed merchantable.
The action asks a Judgment of
$4,000 for failure to carry out the
terms of the contract
The Moscow State Bank is named
as defendant in the action since the
contract was left there and the deed
is held in escrow by the bank.

that the disease has not been found
in any of the forests of the west.
The visits of these experts and
their talks to the forest club were
arranged by the school of forestry
of which Dean F. G. Miller is the head.
This school has been working on for
est problems during the summer va
cation and has classified much of the
logged off lands of Idaho, to ascer-
tain what is best adapted to reforest-
ration and what is best for grazing or
agriculture The school is working in
connection with the national forestry
to secure reforestration
of lands unfit for agriculture or
grazing and the planting of grasses
in the lands adapted to grazing in the
forest regions.
The various state institutions of
Idaho own timber lands worth $780,
100000 and this is the most valuable
resource of these institutions. 1t was
reported some time ago that the Uni
versity of Idaho had $30,000,000 worth

IDAHO FARMER TELLS
OF UNIVERSITY FAT STEER

This weeks issue of The Idaho
Farmer, published at Spokane, has a
fine picturt of Roam Lad, the Univer-
sity of Idaho's prize fat steer, with
the following highly complimentary
notice concerning the steer and the
splendid work of the university in
livestock improvement. The Farmer
says:
"This fellow is Roam Lad, pro-
duct of the University of Idaho farm
at Moscow, where he was developed
into grand champion caliber in the fat
cattle class. He was grand champion
fat steer at the Spokane Interstate
fair, and will compete for the honor
at the three big live stock shows in
November. Following the Pacific In
ternational at Portland, he will be sold
at auction. Roam Lad is purebred
Shorthorn, showing as senior q
year-old He is not only an animal
of good breeding, but he has had the
best of care and is an example of the
beef that can be made from pure-bred
stock. The university of Idaho pur-
chased him when a senior calf from
Duncan Dunn of Wapato, Wash. He
has been produced on the common
northwestern feeds-oats, barley,
bran, alfalfa and mixed hay. Too
often the breeding stock, the fancy
show ring stuff, get the only spot
light. Here however, is the justifica-
ton of the fancy stuff. They are the
cause; Roam Lad and his like are the
result, and it is results that the live
stock industry started out after when
pure breeding was launched"
