DIVORCE EVIL DECRLED

remarked Judge Wallace n. Scales,
of Grangeville, holding court in Lew
istOn the other day. The judge spoke
from the bench to a number of at
torneys, some of whom had divorce
cases before the court.
cit is getting to be a serious mat
ter" the judge continued. "Just the
other day the press announced that
Judge Scales had granted nine
divorces and then seven, while as
a matter of fact two seemed
to have been overlooked. Since court
opened Monday twenty-five or thirty
divorce cases have come before me,
and in every instance no appearance
on the part of the defendant. There
is nothing for me to do, under the
statute, but tor grant the divorce.
Sometimes | feel like sending all such
cases up to the supreme court, but
there wouldn't be any sense in that.
The DEGREES are granted under the
statute with the view that it is to the
interest of society to grant a separa-
ton to these people. But, gentlemen,
the situation is serious. If the defend
ants would answer and it would be pos
sible to get the facts, the court would
be able to hold to strict proof, but no
such opportunity is afforded-there is
too much agreement, nothing is dis
puted or put to issue. Most of this

{" | realize that replied the court.
81 am not directing criticism against

TO SPEND MUCH ON
THUNDER MOUNTAIN

Thousands of dollars vii be spent
by the forest service this summer in
development of the Thunder mountain
region. This large area, which was
last year included within the nation
al forests, has long suffered from in
adequate transportation to develop its
vast mineral possibilities and lack Of
any constructive policy to safeguard
its resources.
The forest service plans this year to
construct bridge across the South
Fork of Salmon river at Dustin s
ranch, east of Warren, at cost of
$4,000. The road to Edwardsburg
will be made passable for auto trucks.
Several thousand dollars will be ex-
pended in trail maintenance, and the
old wagon road from Cascade to Roose-
welt will be repaired. Construction of
thirty miles if telephone line, and in
stallation of three high-power wireless
telephone sets also will be effected to
assist in protecting the area from for
est fires
Applications for grazing $4,000 head
of sheep and 500 head of cattle have
been approved. Receipts from graz
ing are expected to provide about $4,000
revenue for the county. This increa-
Sc in the county revenue will be a
real increase, since the decided lana
within this area will yield the same
amount of taxes as in the past, and
the public lands prior to their lnclu-
sion in the national forests brought no
revenue to the local government

LAUREN ADA|R
KILLED WHILE
Fourteen Year Old Uncle of
Lad Tells Discoherent Tale
of How Child Met Death
Parents Grief Stricken at
Affair; Little Body Bur
led in Whitebird Cemetery

Deep mystery shrouds the fatal
shooting of bright little Lauren Adair,
5-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest
Adair, ranchers residing in the Spring
Camp country. The lad was killed
Sunday morning while his parents had
gone from their home to a mail box,
some distance from the house.
When Mr. and Mrs. Adair returned
home they found their child lying out
side the house. dead. A bullet had
penetrated his lip, and had passed
back into his head, where it lodged.
Philip Greer, 13-year-old brother of
Mrs. Adair, who had been left with
the boy who was killed, told the grief
stricken parents of The little fellow
that the child had accidentally shot
himself while playing with a % cali
Der revolver. The Adair boys 3-year
old sister, who was present at the time
of the killing is too small to relate the
story of the tragedy.
The children were playing they were
shooting one another, the older boy
told the parents of the dead child,
when suddenly little Lauren exclaim
ed, 81 IL shoot you with this gun,
and as he said this, Greer asserted,
he reached his chubby little hands to-
ward the gun, which was hanging on
the wall, and as he touched the gun,
it fell, and was suddenly discharged,
the bullet penetrating the child s lip,
and entering his head.
Investigation, it is said, failed to
reveal blood stains in the house where
the child was declared by the older
boy to have accidentally shot himself
This, coupled with the fact that the
boys body lay in the yard when the
returned, leads many to be-
iieve that Greer has not told facts in
connection with the killing.
The body was conveyed to White
bird. where funeral services and burial
took place Monday. A. j. Maugg, of
furnished the funeral
