HORSE FED PORK A
MONTANA DELICACY NOW

HELENA, Mont = Cooked horse
meat mixed with alfalfa and corn, is
being used as foundation for swine at
plant near Boulder, according to
Harry Murtha, horse buyer, who re-
Gently was in this city. ) He also is
in the swine business. He says horse
meat is fed to the hogs up to within
weeks of sending the swine to market,
when they are fed with. corn only.
Murtha believes that the cheap
horse is going off the market in the
spring and that even old, wornout
horses, which he has been using as
hog feed, will be difficult to obtain.
Many farmers who did not have the
feed to carry their stock through the
winter sacrificed the animals rather
than let them starve on the range dur
ing the winter, Murtha said, and in the
spring they will buy stock again in
order to resume work

SCHOOLS ARE OPEN
LARGE ATTENDANCE
INFLUENZA CONDITIONS SHOW
MARKED IMPROVEMENT
BELIEVE END is NEAR

Moscow schools opened Monday
morning with 95 per cent attend
ance in the high school building and
good attendance in the grades. All
of the teachers with the exception of
Mrs. Rich, were in their places.
Nurses are ON hand to look after the
children and see that only the we'll
are admitted. Conditions in the
schools are giving entire satisfac-
ton, the attendance being better
than was hoped for. 1t is believed
that by the last of the week attend
ance will be normal.
Many applications for the position
of superintendent of city schools,
made vacant by the death of Pro-
fessor Rich, are being received and
some of them come from strong
men, with splendid experience. The
school board feels encouraged by the
number of applications received and
the generally high character of the
applicants. No selection will be
made until the qualifications of all
applicants can be thoroughly investi-
gated.
That the new cases of influenza
now developing are more severe than
formerly is the statement of DR.. J.
N. Clarke, one of Moscow's busiest
physicians. DR.. Clarke said: 81 do
not know how it is with other physi-.
clans but in my practice l find that
the new cases as rule have the dis
ease in a harder form than earlier
in the siege. But conditions appear
to be much better. There are fewer
new cases and many of the old
cases are being released as cured.
There are a number of very severe
cases in town yet and these
are causing some uneasiness
but l believe that within four or five
days the worst will be over and
normal conditions will soon return.
The warm, bright sunshine is
help"
Only six new cases were reported
for Sunday as compared with five
each for Friday and Saturday. six
for Thursday, Is for Wednesday and
19 for Tuesday.
Much Help Needed
The great need now is for help in
the homes where the quarantine has
been raised. Mrs E. C. Boom of the
Red Cross staff, has charge of this
work. Mrs. Boom said: eve need a |
number of women to go into the
homes and help clean up and do the
house work This is not charity
work, but will be paid for. Women
who have just got out of bed and are
weak yet, cannot do this work. If
any woman or number of women.
are willing to go into homes and do
this work for good pay l wish they
would telephone me at 213, and / !,
will assign them to the work. This /
is work that must be done and will /,
be paid for. 1t is our greatest need |
at this time. There is believed to
be no danger as these homes have |
been fumigated and the quarantine
raised in all homes where this work
needs to be DONE"

DELEGATES
TO CONVENTION
COUNTY WILL HAVE SEVEN IN
REPUBLICAN AND FOUR IN
DEMOCRATIC MEETS

Latah county will have seven dele
republican party at Boise next Au-
gust, and four delegates to the demo
cratic convention. This is based on
the vote in 1918. Latah county's
County Auditor Homer Estes today
from R. O. Jones, secretary of state.
The republican county convention
for Latah county will have 81 dele
gates, this being based on one dele
gate for each 80 votes cast in the
election of 1918. The democratic
county convention will have but 49
delegates. The date for the county
conventions have not been announced
but the state convention will be held
at Boise on the fourth Tuesday in
August.
Latah county is overwhelmingly
republican normally and in 1918
every county officer elected was a
republican and the republicans elect
ed the entire legislative delegation of
three representatives and one sena-
tor. This is the first time in 20
years that there has not been a demo-
crat in the court house or legislature
from this county. The overwhelming
republican victory was due largely to
the fact that the non-partizans got
control of the democratic primaries
and the old line democrats bolted and
voted for republicans.
Latah was the banner "Gooding"
county in Idaho, in 1918, giving the
majority of 1913 votes
for United States senator. 1t is be-
lieved this county will send Good
ing delegation to the state conven-
tion mo matter what other candi-
dates oppose him. The sentiment for
him is very strong here. Should there
be a deadlock there is talk of using
Burton L. French, congressman from
the first district of Idaho, as a clark
horse" for the senatorial nomination.
Otherwise it is understood Mr.
French will be content with the nom
ination for representative to succeed
himself. He will have no opposition
for that nomination, it is conceded
by party leaders.
Senator Porter, of Juliaetta, Rep
resentatives C. J. Hugo, of Moscow;
A. S. Anderson, of Thorn Creek, and
Homer w. Garfield, of Princeton, left
Sunday for Boise to be present at
the opening session of the state legis-
lature Wednesday,.

CHARGE MURDER OF
PROMINENT MASON
CLAIM THAT ABLE WAS MUIR
DERED AND HIS BODY HID
DEN IN A HAY STACK
(Grangeville Clobe)

0. 3. Able, a prominent railroad Of
ficial of San Jose, CAL, and high
mason, is reported to have been foul
ly murdered on Big Greek, in Valley
county, just across the Idaho county
line, and his body hidden in hay
stack. Reports of the killing were
received by way of Cascade, from
which town a party has set out to
penetrate the mountain wilderness
and determine whether the story Of
the killing is authentic, and whether
the body of Able is in such condition
that it can be taken to Walla Walla,
Wn., for burial.
The place where Able is declared
to have met death is ninety miles
north and east of Cascade, and at this
season of the year is to be reached
only by use of snow shoes and
sledges.
First Report of Death
Six weeks ago word was received
in Cascade that Able was killed by
being gored to death by bull, but
recent developments indicate that he
was murdered. Name of the alleged
murderer has not been revealed
DIR. Ben F. Hall, mason, of Walla
cade to investigate the killing of
Able.
Able was prominently connected
with railroad affairs in the west,
and had offices III San Jose, Cal.
For perhaps seven years he had
owned a ranch in the Big Creek
country, in the almost inaccessible
interior of Idaho, and was accustom-
ed to spend his winters on the ranch
caring for his purebred cattle of
which he was a breeder. He went to
his ranch last fall.
Several weeks ago word was re-
ceived at Cascade that Able had
been killed by bull. Rigorous VIM
ter weather, however, prevented
those who were said to have found
the body from packing it to Cascade.
Sister Demands Probe
Recently sister of Able arrived
at Cascade from San Jose, and ar
ranged for crew, headed by Dan
Drake and John Williams, of Knox,
to start for the interior on snow
shoes and bring out the body. The
crew at last reports had not return
ed to Cascade, though long overdue
Since departure of the searchers
from Cascade, the murder theory
mas been advanced, perhaps due to
'umors received at the Valley county
seat from the interior country.
Walla Walla masons, who were
well acquainted with Able, have as
sumed the burden of investigation
for the fraternity.

MAKING PROFITS

BOISE.-Not only are the waste
places being made glad, but wasted re-

profitable account Irrigation has
done much The dry farmer has ac-
complished wonders in the face of
stupendous obstacles and of discour-
agements to try the stoutest heart
The timberman the miner, the dairy
man and others have produced much
to the credit of the state, but with all
these very large activities under way
we find that there has been almost
complete oversight of resource that
has been a waste and in some in
stances-an expense of considerable
proportions-the fur-raising industry.
At present this industry is coming
to the front in giant strides. Rallying
around the Idaho Game Breeders as
sociation men and women in all parts
of the state are interesting themselves
in the production of fur bearing ami

by far the most remunerative business

sidered. n
Fur Prices High.
With a black or silver fox skin
worth 5000, a coyote up to $32, mink
$23, muskrat $3.50, red fox $55, lynx
$40, marten $120, and even the odor-
ferrous skunk So to $12 the business of
raising fur-bearing animals merits the
attention it is receiving, and as the
prices are bound to remain high be-
cause of the penchant of the wealthy
to obtain those things the average
person cannot afford, permanence is
assured those who go into the busi-
ness. Many are contemplating doing
this as a side line if not more elabor-
ately. The sponsor and guide is the

BONDS NOT PLACED
Board Of Supervisors Unable to Get
Satisfactory Offer for Issue of
100000 of County Securities to
Pay for Iowa River Drainage Pro-

The county board of supervisors
met Thursday with representatives
OF bonding firms in an effort to re-
sell the bond issue Of approximately
100000 to pay for the construction
OF the Iowa river drainage ditch. The
White-Phillips Company, Of Daven-
port, which purchased the bonds, but
later failed to fulfill it's contract, had
a representative present. Other com
panies representatives, the Schenka
Company, of Mason City, and Hoff
& Co., Of Des MONIES.
The best bid received Thursday
was from the Horf Company, which
offered to take the bonds at S4.4O
below par, with the interest rate
fixed at per cent. This bid was
more satisfactory than one originally
made by the same company, when it
offered to take the issue at 1-16
per cent below par. The last offer
would be at the rate OF $3.50 Der
500. at 8 per cent.
The law provides that the county
can sell Its bonds at a 8 per. cent
rate, at par. The board did not re-
5ect the bids MOI, was any contract
or agreement entered into. The con.
ferences probably will be continued
at later date.
