For these reasons the farmer or dairy
man who is successful must have his
milk and butter manufacturing estab-
liShment built and equipped so that he
can produce what he has to sell at the
least cost. In this way his herd will
pay him a handsome profit.

BUY AT HOME BEST POLICY

Parks Brothers, of Portland,
Oregon who have been canvass
ing this country with agents and
selling groceries to the farmers
and residents of the city in any
amounts and it is stated they
claim to save the purchaser big
money on a bill of any conse-
quence. This week the Cotton
wood Mercantile Co. came into
possession of one of their orders
which amount to only $46.10 and
the Cottonwood Mercantile Com
pany will fill the same bill for
the sum of $44.05 with well
known brands of goods. Parks
Bros. specified no brand on their
order. The Cottonwood Mercan-
tile Co.'S price is f. o. b. Cotton
wood while the Portland con-
Germ requires you to pay freight
from the coast. By buying at
home you actually save $5.95.
We do not doubt in the least but
what every mercantile establish
in the city will sell you groceries
at a saving over Parks Bros.
prices. We would recommend
that prices at home be first con-
sidered before letting some ira
yelling salesman talk you into
buying goods. Read the Cotton
wood Mercantile Co. ad on page
8 and note the prices made by
both the local store and the Port
land firm.

ROAD IS CLOSED.

The road leading out Of Cot

Bros. slaughter house was closed
Monday in order to give the
roadmen, who have been work.
ing on this stretch of road for
the past two weeks an opportu-
nifty to properly grade the
same. The highway leading out
of Cottonwood by this route has
been a problem for some time
past owing to water from the
hill side in the spring making it
very muddy. Another feature
that was bad as well
as dangerous was the fact that
pedestrians could not see for any
great distance what was ahead
of them on account of the hill
having several projecting points,
This however, is being remedied
by widening the road and by also
excavating the points so that q
clear view can be had down the
entire length of the road.
A ditch will be built along the
hill to properly handle all sur
plus water in the spring. The
road will again be open for traf-
fic in about a week.

GARDENS RUINED.

Grasshoppers, which until the
first of the week had done no
great damage in the city to gard
ners, and up to tbs time had not
been very thick, invaded the city
in large swarms the first of the
week and have practically ruined
every garden here. Some of the
gardners, who have been able to
lie in their gardens when they
arrived in swarms have been
able to save their vegetation by
keeping them continually on the
move. In this undertaking
Daddy" George Simon has been
the most successful.
These pesky creatures, how
ever have been doing consider
able damage in the country and
most of the gardens where they
have appeared the thickest have
simply been anniliated.
Among the farmers where most
of the damage has been report
ed are the following: The hop
pers entered a 70-acre field of
spring barley owned by John
Crea and practically severed
every head of grain from the
main stalk. Mr.. Crea turned his
cattle into this field in order to
get some good out OF it. Mrs.
Theo. Teonnis, who is reported
to have had one of the finest
gardens found anywhere on the
prairie also had her garden eat
up by these desirable creatures,
they even going as far as eating
the young carrots out of the
ground. On the Holthaus ranch.
a stand of corn that has been re-
ceiving admiration from practi.
cally everyone was also badly
damaged by the grasshoppers.

LIGHTS MUST BE RIGHT.

TO START THRESHING.

The threshing of grain will
commence the first of the COM
ing week. Many of the farmers
have already cut their grain,
which will be ready to thresh
the coming week. By the mid
die Of August harvest in this sec
ton will be in full swing. Ac-
cording to information received
from many of our most sub
stantial farmers the crop will
average much better than was
at first believed possible. The
grain has stood the drought
much better than was anticipat-
ed.
The only machine to pull out
this week, was the one owned by
Conrad Bosse, Wednesday, but
whether they have done any
harvesting or not we have been
unable to learn.

AlLOT $26O,OOO
TO FIGHT FIRE
Comes From Interior Depart
ment Emergency Fund
Governor East.

Boise, July Ex-Governor
Davis office was notified today
by Congressman Addison T.
Smith that Franklin X. Lane,
secretary of the interior, had
made available 100000 from
the miscellaneous fund to be
used for fighting the fires. In
addition to the $4,000 already
set aside, this money will meet
the urgent and immediate needs
of salary and most of purchas-
ing equipment. According to
one official of the fire-fighting
associations, this is the first
time in the history of the state
where the governor has been
able to get aid from the govern
ment at a time when conditions
demand prompt action.
Two calls for more men re-
ceived by General Examiner r.
A. Holley Monday give evidence
that high winds are driving the
forest fire in the Thunder noun
tain district at a terrific rate,
Several new fires are also stated
to have started in the yellow
pine country, ignited possibly by
sparks carried by the gale and
deposited in the tinder-like
woods.
Hard fighting by the fire
crews had brought many of the
smaller blazes under control on
Sunday and it was great dis
appointment when the gale
swept down upon the fires and
famed them to new life only tC
leap the trenches which the in.
cessant labor Of the men has dug
after two days and nights Of
efford.
Gov. D. w. Davis is on his
way to Washington to secure
federal aid in fighting fores
fires, but it is announced at hi
office that he will not call ou'
state troops for forest fires duty
until it becomes impossible tt
employ civilian fire fighters.
Famed by a high wind th'
forest fires in the Elk City sec
ton, the region of Thunde,
mountain and in the Selway for
est reserve were reported as rag
ing furiously and practically be
yond control of the large fore,
of men assembled to try and stol
the spread. =
The principal reason the ,mel
are unable to cope tn
situation is the dryf1eBs o
everything in the forest regions
With no material rainfall fo
months the timber and under
brush is dry as tinder and yer.
susceptible to catching fire, an
for the flames to spread is a.
easy matter.
The biggest fire yet reported
according to information froT
the forestry department a
Grangeville is in the densel
timbered section along theAme
: rican river, east of Elk City. A
ready 1000 acres have been bur
ed over and the flames are re
ported as beyond control of tn
sixty men engaged in that immt
diate vicinity. Much valuabl
! timber stands in this distric
and it is feared that the loss wi
amount to enormous figures.
The forestry service reporte
that in all district under the
jurisdiction all smaller fire hs
been practically extinguishe,
! but that the larger ones are sd
making the situation grave.

INDIAN LAND TO
Be PATENTED
Congressman French Writes MIR
GrOninger that Competent
Reds Will Receive Deeds

A great many farmers in the
Clearwater and Prairie country
have recently asked me to. in
vestigate and find out in what
way the people in this territory
can assist in getting as much of
the Indian land as possible turn
ed over to Indians who are cap
able of handling their business
at the expiration of the treaty
next year according to R. r.
Groninger, agriculturist of the
Waterman Associated Banks of
Kamiah who received some in
teresting information from Con-
gresham French and which was
published in the Kamiah Pro-
gress of last week. The agricul-
turists futher states:
Much of this land has been
very poorly farmed under the
present lease system, the leases
having paid very little attention
to keeping down weeds, eradi-
eating pests, making improve
ments, ETC., and farmers fee
that if the patents were given to
the Indians and this land made
subject to taxation, these condi.
tions would soon change.
/ have taken the matter uI
with our Honorable Representa-.
tive Burton L. French, at Wash.
ington, D. c., in an effort to find
out what the policy of the In
dian Department will be in re-
CARDS to giving the Indians pa
tents to the land, or extending
the treaty.
In recent correspondence from
Mr.. French / am informed thai
under the present laws the
treaty will not be extended, bu'
that the U. S. Indian Depart
ment has power to withhold thu
patents of land belonging to In
dians who are not capable o.
handling this business, and tha
it will be the policy of the In
dian Department to issue pat
ents to as many Indians as pos
sible who can be found capabl
of handling their business.
The Indian office proposes t
send representatives of the of
flee to make careful inquiry in
to the fitness of the Indians t
handle their business so tha
mistakes will not be made, bu
Mr.. French could give me no in
formation as to when the CON
mittee will arrive, and is of tn
opinion that their course will nc
be marked out for them frol
! Washington. | am of the opir
ion that the representative
, from the Indian office at Wash
! ington will want to select thei
source of information regardin
the Indians, rather than have
submitted to them, but l believ
if the Farm bureaus of each {
!; the counties interested were
!, select or appoint a committee
each county or community to il
e vestigate and get what inform;
, ton they can as to the Indian
! capabiliy of handling their ow
affairs, such information wouI
be of great value to the inve
!. tigating representatives whe
: they arrive, providing they cal
y to make use of it.
There are any number of Il
t dians in this territory who al
g entirely capable Of handing the
5 business and should have paten
e to the land. However there a
y many Indians who are not ca
y able of handling their bushes

thrown upon the county after
the guardianship of the U. S.
had been severed.
