That Idaho forests are being put to
very productive use is clearly shown
by the forester's annual report for the
year 1919.
More sheep were grazed on the ma
tional forests of Idaho than in any
other states, more than three quarter
millions having been run on the for
est range during the year. Utah leads
in the number of cattle grazed, with
Idaho again first in number of horses.
In the timber business, Idaho ranks
second to Montana in number of issu-
ed cutting permits with a record of
POOP Oergon has the best record n
amount of timber cut, with III mil
lion feet in the year. Sixty-eight mil
lion feet were cut on Idaho forests
In areas planted or sowed to tim
Der, the report shows Idaho in first
place-1344 acres planted and $50 acres
sowed in 1919.
Forest fires damage in north Idaho
was enormous. Fortunately the toll
of human lives was extremely light.
In speaking of the north Idaho for
ests. the forester says: "These for
ests. because of wild character, re-
moteness from centers of population
and base of supplies, their large
stands of valuable timber, and because

WOMAN AS DEPUTY
SHERIFF LATEST
INNOVATION HERE

Woman suffrage surely is com
ing to the fore in Idaho county.
Although women have been
granted the ballot in Idaho for
many years, the first woman
deputy sheriff in Idaho county
has just been appointed.
Miss Florence Murray is wear
ing the star of a peace officer,
and now is custodian of the
keys to the Idaho county Jail,
for she has been named office
deputy by Sheriff w. H. Eller.
Miss Murray is the first woman
to hold the office of deputy
sheriff in Idaho county, if not
in the entire state. In cities,
where much clerical work is
done in the sheriff's office, wo-
men sometimes are employed as
stenographers, and the like, and
nominally are deputy sheriffs,
but the action taken by Sher-
iff Eller in appointing a woman
deputy is declared to be
unique in the annals of Idaho.
Miss Murray was appointed
to succeed Grafton johnson, re-
signed. Mr.. johnson was in the
employ of the county only
short time, when he gave up the
job.
The job of deputy sheriff has
always been considered a po-
litical one in qdaho county.

GOVERNMENT REPORT ON IDAHO
NATIONAL FORESTS ANAL zED

of climatic conditions, present a prob
lem in protection in its most extreme
form Nowhere else is the control of
fires so difficult or so expensive.
''The answer to the forest fire prob
lem is more roads and trails, sufficient
salaries for forest officers to enable
the building up and holding of we'll
trained force, greater leeway in fur
nishing motor equipment for freight
ing, and a vigorous campaign of edu-
cation to secure better cooperation in
fire protection.
A large increase in receipts from
national forests is shown in the annual
summary:
"The receipts in the fiscal year
1919 were greater by $780, S5 than in
the previous year. The receipts total
ed $4,35S,4l5. The grazing BUSH
ness contributed $1,000, 17O; timber
business, 81 ,54O,1OO; special uses, $13-
6,s23; water pwer, $72,322."
The report goes on to say:
"'With the stockmen paying more
than two and one-half million dollars
annually into the public treasury for
use of the national forest ranges, there
is strong reason for their urging that
the government expenditures aimed at
making the ranges more useful should
be increased

BY GRANGEVILLE TEAM
By Bill

By Bill
Last Saturday night in the high
school gymnasium, the Grangeville
high school basketball team walloped
the Nezperce high school quintet to
the tune of 81 to IS.
During the first half both teams
were evenly matched and when Under
taker Maugg called time the score was
10 to II in favor of Grangville.
During the second half the great
gobs of gaping humanity gathered
together for the purpose of seeing Nez-
perez go down in despair, rose to
their feet to give way to their emo
tions in the form of shouts, cheers
and auto horns.
The stars of the game we're, Eimers,
Pettibone, Criddlebaugh, Kabat, and
Hanson, of Grangeville.
The Nezperce lineup was-Elbert
Stillman, forward; Rome forward;
Gamble center; Miller, guard; Earl
Stillman, gu9rd.
This is the first time in the his
tory of both schools that Nezperce
has been defeated in basketball by
Grangeville.

the tempestuOus wave Of another
spasm Of hypocritical fanaticism
designed for the purpose of purI-
fying the moral atmosphere Of

up the movie theatres, baseball

no surprise, for it has long been
expected and the fanactics have
been behaving entirely too long
for their own past records. Such
a movement in Louisiana is Who'll
~ uncalled for because there is
NO demand for it: the morals of
our people are exceptionally
good as compared with those of
other states, and it never. has
