ut is ridiculous to say that the run
ming of liquor from Canada into this
country cannot be stopped. If the of
fcerS are really honest in their efforts
there can be no excuse for any quantity
of liquor coming over the line. 1t all
depends on how vigorous the officers are
They can stop the game if they really
set out to do it."-Burlington Clipper.
The Messenger cannot help but feel
that this is an absolutely unwarranted
Indictment of a body of men who, instead
of being pounded, are entitled to praise
for what they have accomplished with
the limited means at their command. Up
here in st. Adams where we know per-
sonally the men in the customs force re-
Election on their honesty and loyalty is
resented. The truth of the matter is,
the force is not large enough to make the
boundary line leak proof. These men
work night and day, in stormy weather
and fair, and are at all times open to the
bodily attacks of desperate smugglers
And their pay is not commensurate either
with the work or the risk they run If
the government at Washington really
wants this liquor running stopped let it
put on an adequate force of men to pa
troll the border, and until it does this
let individuals and newspapers refrain
from jumping at conclusions which are
unjustified and absolutely unfair to men
who are well considered in their own
community.

Farmers Buying Silos

A very encouraging indication of
a re-awakened interest in the dairy
and livestock business in the Pot
latch country is the number of silos
being purchased by some of the
progressive farmers of this comun-
ity. Every silo sold in the Potlatch
is a step in the right direction. 1t
denotes that farmers are getting
ready to increase the livestock pro-
duction of their places. Silos are
safeguard to the future productive
ness of the land. During war times
there was no incentive for raising
livestock or gong into the dairy
business as there was more money
in wheat than anything else on the
farm. However, times are chang
ing. With butter selling at from
sixty cents to sixty-tive cents a
pound, there is money in dairying,
particularly if silos are used for
saving part of the feed supply.
J. C. Hamil handed in list of
Potlatch farmers who have already
purchased silos. They are all pro-
gressive men and successful farm
ers. Following is the list and the
. size OF silo purchased by each;
Jesse Hoffman. Sc ton; Herman
; Koepp, 80 ton; VIM. Cox, two 81

An Idaho Cow

at so cents pound and it is worth

who knew him. He was poor, and
everyone said it was because he was
bad manager, and that hurt his

and got rich, and everyone said
meaningIy, How did he get lt?'
He went in for local politics, and
people observed that he was in for
what he could get out of it, so he
kept out of politics, and everyone
said that he was no good as a

him the reputation of being soft

Moved Machinery

Fred Crocker purchased the en-
CINE and boiler, formerly used in
the flour mill here, from the Voll-
mer Clearwater Company. He is
installing this machinery at his saw
mill on Ceadr Creek ridge.
When the flour mill was located
at the lower end of town it was
operated by water power, except
during the drv season. when it was
necessary to supplement this power
with steam engine. Machinery
large enough to operate flour mill
like the one in Kendrick, is heavy
enough to make it rather difficult
feat to transport it from Kendrick
to the Cedar Creek country. The
boiler alone weighs over six tons.
1t was hauled through the mud on a
wagon last Sunday. 1t required
twelve horses to pull it up the
grade. The engine was taken ou,
the same way until the top OF the
grade was reached. On account Of
the depth of the mud, the hine
wheels of the wagon had to be re
moved and skids put under tn
axle. The load was dragged in thi
manner to the mill. And yet w

on the point of American ridge and
the other half on bench of the

probably fifty acres under cultlva-
ton. Although it has been badly
neglected during the past few years,
the land itself is very good and can
be brought into a high state OF pro,
duction. Most of the place is in

grubbed out and will be replaced by

Testing Roads

State highway departments are
interested in the successful
outcome of comprehensive expert
ments and tests now being made by
the Bureau of Public Roads OF the
United States Department OF Agrl-
culture. One State engineer recent
ly declared that millions of dollars
in his State are involved in the pro-
per design of road surfaces, which
makes up one Of the problems being
Investigated by the Federal engln-
eers.
The coming into general use OF
the heavy motor truck has practical
ly revolutionized the science OF
road building. Big new problems
came when loads weighing 10 to l5
tons took the place of vehicles that
placed a weight one-fourth as much
or less. The roads built 10 years
ago were constructed before this
fact could be realized = which is
one of the reasons why many per
manent' roads have proved to be
impermanent.
One of the testing experiments
being made by the Federal bureal
involves the use of a 49-sectl0r
roadway in the Arlington farm
owned by the Department OF Agrl
culture. Each section was bull
from different type OF material
or with different method OF con
structlon. The same use is give1
to each section, so that eventual.

Only 81 Representatives

BOSIE, Idaho.- Idaho's legisla-
ture will seat only 81 representa-
tives as result of light votes pol
led IN the general elections of 1913
Robert o. Jones, secretary of state
has just completed the statutory
appropriation Of representatives.
The announcement means that,
with three new counties, there will
be 10 less representatives in the
chamber next year and that the
house will outnumber the senate
only by 10 members. 1t means that
only seven counties in the state will
have more than one representative
IN the lower house next year, where
as twice that number of counties
had two or more members in 1919.
1t means too, that Nez Perce
county, where 32S9 votes were cast
for governor IN 1918, gets only one
representative, while Caribou, for
contrast, with only 461 votes, will
have equal representation.
Here is the new apportionment:
