 STRIKE BLAMED

VANCOUVER, B. C., June Ill., People residing on Texada island,
 a small island to the northwest of this city, are reported to be facing starvation as the result of the fail ure of supply boats to land fresh stocks of provisions, and the ina bility of the islanders to reach the
 mainland because of storms pre- vailing in Northern waters.

 Guard Hamilton, resident of the west coast of Texada island. He
 made the trip down the coast in Ia 36-foot launch, battling his way
 through the storm in quest of food, and reports that the situation on
 the island is serious. Many loggers and other residents are completely out of food and some of them, it is feared, will die unless food is sent
 to them. Fishermen cannot leave shore on account of the storm.
 The boats which usually land SUD- plies at the island have been pre- vented from sailing lately by the strike.

FARM BUREAU PROVES
WORTHY VENTURE; HAS
AIDED CANYON COUNTY

Caldwell. April - Through the
great work of the Canyon county farm
bureau the last few years, scientific
methods of agriculture are largely
practiced in the majority of the COM
munities of the county and to the
community cooperation initiated by
the bureau and the supervision of its
several expert farm advisors, chosen
from among the more experienced
farmers as to crop methods, are to
be attributed the great profits which
have been realized by the farmers the
last three years.
The bureau has the distinction of
being the largest in the United States,
and, under the direction of it's presi-
dent, C. Ben Ross, of Parama, it will
soon launch another membership cam
paign. Canyon county was the first
county in the state to employ a coun-
ty farm agent, and such great results
have been obtained that it has con-
stantly continued the employment of
one. George Dewey of this city is the
present agent.
