Sherman Mix, well known citizen
of Orofino, formerly resident of

farming, livestock and real estate
business in the Orofino district, own
ing a good farm, we'll stocked with
cattle, in connection with Alex. Ham
ilton, who manages the farm while
Mr.. Mix manages the real estate busi-
ness. He says good farm lands there
now sell readily for S10O per acre,
an advance of about 100 per cent in
the past five years, and there is a
strong demand for farms at these
prices. Mr.. Mix says that Pete Or

almost recovered since he gave up
newspaper work, having sold his
printing plant, and gone onto his
farm, where he is working hard and

PR|NCETON-HARvARD
BONDS SOLD WELL
DISTRICT SELLS $4,000 WORTH
OF BONDS FOR $663 PRE-
NUNS AT 51a PER CENT

The best bond sale, excepting that
of the Moscow highway district, has
just been closed by the Princeton
Harvard highway district, which sold
$50 900 of the $4,000 bonds voted
some time ago. The bonds bear 51a
per cent. interest and brought a
bonus of 1868, which is the highest
premium paid for any bonds in north
Idaho, except the sale made by Mos
COW highway district No. 2. The
bonds were sold to three firms, on a
joint bid There were 10 bids receiv-
ed, and they came from many places.
Bids were received from Chicago,
Toledo and Denver, in addition to
many points in the northwest.
The buyers are the Carstens- Earl
Company and John E. Price & Co.,
both of Seattle; and Murphy -Favre
Company, of Spokane.
The funds received from this sale
will be used to construct this districts
part of the north and south state high
way through the district and to con-
struct laterals connecting it with
other points. The remaining 100000
will not be sold until the money is
needed. The district is in fine con-
dition and the sale of bonds shows
the high standing of the district
throughout the financial world.
May Form Tenth District.
A movement is now on foot to form
a highway district of the remaining
territory in Latah county, not in
cluded in any highway or good roads
district and it is believed this will be
done. The territory from which it
is proposed to form new district
takes in Juliaetta, ,Linville and sur
rounding country. There is enough
of it to form small highway district.
A meeting held at Linville Wednesday
night voted in favor of the formation
of a district and petitions are now
being circulated for it. The plan is
to get everything in readiness for or
ganizing about the first of January
and to have preparations made for
work as soon as possible
in the spring. This will make 10
highway districts in Latah county
and there is one good roads district in
the Cedar creek ridge neighborhood.
That covers all of Latah county. Ken
drick has just formed a highway dis
trict, making the ninth in the county,
and commissioners for the Kendrick
district will be appointed soon.

MOTHER OF SIX DRIVES FROM
EASTERN OREGON TO LOS

LOS ANGELES, Cal.--The high cost
of Iiving-including the high cost OF
raveling-means nothing to Mrs. A,
Bradley, who has Just arrived here
with six children after travelling from
Silver Lake, Oregon,--a distance OF
1900 miles-at total financial ex-

Mrs. Bradley lived Is years i'll east

him since. He left behind him an
elderly horse and a two-seated car
riage, minus top, but equipped with
loose spOkes in the wheels.

'SUPERST|T|ONS'
MAY HELP FARMERS
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
ANNOUNCES MANY OLD BE-
LIEFS WELL FOUNDED

WASHINGTON.- problem o1
making agricultural superstitions into
scientific data is being studied by
experts Of the Department of Agri-
culture, who declare that many of the
maxims handed down from father tc
son for generations are not really
superstitions at all, but helpful infor-
nation discovered by keenly observ-
ant persons. Everybody has heard
some of the old maxims. They deal
with every variety Of agricultural
operation. Bean planting, for in
stance, never was done by the fore
fathers of the present generation ex-
,cept at the time of the blossoming of
catkins had formed on the maple
trees, it was sign from nature that
early gardening might commence.
And toward the end of the season,
warning Of frost was given by the ma
turing of cockleburs.
Now, the department of agriculture
declares that there is best time for
every farm and garden operation and
that some tree or shrub or plant in
dicates that time more accurately
than all the scientific instruments can
register it. 1t is those. signs which
were noted by the pioneers who laid
the foundations of this country and
recorded the simple sayings handed
down to posterity. Soon they will be
dignified with the scientific name of
"phenology," which is the science of
phenomena
Collection of natural signs into the
science of phenology probably was be-
gun with campaign against the
Hessian fly. Experts were endeavor-
ing to determine the best time for
planting wheat so that the sowing
would be late enough to- prevent ruin
by the pest and yet early, enough for
the grain to get start before cold
weather. 1t was easy enough to work
out the general rule that: the season
varies four days for each one degree
of latitude, five degrees of longitude
and 400 feet of altitude, but as no two
season are just the same, the rule
could tell only approximately when
The farmer should do his sowing.
In seeking for more exact guide,
DR.. A. D. Hopkins of the department,
forsook the cold realm of scientific
formulae for "back to nature" infor-
nation. As plants respond to elm
attic conditions and not to dates it |
was decided that some natural indi-
cation would give the information
desired. 1t is now claimed that obser-
walton has proved that the best time
for sowing wheat is that period be-
tween the full blooming of tall late
goldenrod and the time when the
white, common Japanese clematis
flowers are nearly all gone or the
leaves are distinctly colored on the
dogwood and hickories.
What has been done for wheat will +
be done for other crops, but the work
ing out of the signs will be a slow !
process. Meanwhile, every farmer j
and even the city gardner, have their
own guides at hand, if they have eyes
to see. Thus has the superstition and
folklore Of days called primitive
been justified by the advanced science /
Of the twentieth century.
