w. K. Blenders Sells Ranch.

The w. K. Blenders finely i'm
proved quarter section southwest
of this city was sold through the
agency Of B. j. Fike last Satur-
day to w. H. Yenglin, who re-
Gently arrived here with his fam
lily from North Dakota. The

count Of the death of their son,

Will Move City Pound.

At the meeting Of the city
council last Monday night, it was
decided to further improve the
appearance Of the business dist
rict by removing the old city
pound, which has become so di-
lapidated that it is almost beyond
further usefulness. Its successor
will be located at some remote
point near the creek.
The matter of more extensive
street improvement was also TAX
en- up, with the result that an
order was made for putting the
drag into commission at once and
keeping it going until all the
streets are made smooth and the
rock crusher is to be started as
soon as possible to provide rock
for filling any depressions in the
roads and for surfacing the bad
piece Of road in front Of the Madi-
son Lumber Yards. This activity
for better streets will also include
the rough approaches to the city
and thus does Nezperce maintain
her reputation for having better
roads and streets than any other
town in the prairie country.

Nezpercers On Stevenson Grade.

About 80 boosters left this
city Tuesday morning, armed
with shovels, picks and other
like implements of torture to
spend the day on the new grade
at the Stevenson crossing of Law
yer's canyon, five miles south.
All survived the ordeal, and
many wounds in the way Of blist-
cred hands and stiff joints bore
evidence of their stories that a
real days work had been done
and that travellers would now
find this grade one of the best in
the country-second only to the
scenic Lewiston Uniontown high
way.
This grade, which was con-
structed last year, keeps well
within the five per cent pitch and
is by far the most satisfactory
crossing Of the canyon between
Lewis and Idaho counties and is
on the most direct route from
Grangeyille to Nezperce and the
other towns of that county;
fact that any autoist will avow
who has tried it.

numerous friends during his brief
residence here. These heard the
above sad news with deep regret
and extend their sincere SYM
pathy to the bereaved family.

Attention, Farmers.

A great mass meeting of all
the farmers from the sections of
Nezperce, Craigmont, Ferdinand,
Cottonwood, Grangeville, Win
chester and Reubens has been
called by A. A. Elmore, director
of the Washington-Id -Idaho-O Oregon
Wheat Growers Association, to
convene at Craigmont on May IL
at l 100 p. m.
Mr.. Sapiro. the great expert
counsel for the different cooper
ative fruit growers associations
throughout California, will be the
principal speaker at this meeting
and will explain in detail the
working plan of the association
and what it has done for the pro-
ducers throughout California and
other parts of the country.
Brother Farmer, you lost not
less than SO cents on every bushel
of wheat you sold last year. Are
you going to protect yourselves,
as they are doing in other indus
tries? This movement is already
assuming the proportions of a
United States organization and
you cannot afford to feel indif-
ferent toward it. Take half day
off and attend this meeting. 1t
will be time well spent.
In as much as farming is the
basic industry upon which the
prosperity of every other line of
activity depends, it is to the in
terest of every merchant and
banker that every farmer should
join this pooling association.

several miles the Angara never
freezes even in the coolest wealth
er, and over that distance the An
CARA IS one of the swiftest rivers
OF the world. There are several is
lands in Lake Baikal, the largest
OF which is called Olkhon. Pc
troleum wells, mineral and hot
springs are found in the vicinity
OF the lake, and earthquakes are
not unknown to the region. The
lake forms an important link in
the chain of communication be-
tween Russia and China and has
aeveral commercial ports, the
most important being Lisvinich-
noe. The railway passes around
the southern end of and very
close to the lake, thus affording
travellers many scenes Of wonder
full beauty. In recent years a
goodly number of steamboats,
have added considerable impetus
to its trade. One of the most
powerful ice-breakers in the
world was effectively used on the
lake before the railway was com
pleted. The lake is rich in stur-
geon, salmon and fresh water
seal fisheries, and at one time a
peculiar fish called the golom-
ynka, which is almost one mass
of fat, yielding train oil, was
caught in immense numbers, but
it is now rather scarce. The sur
face of the lake is frozen from
November to April, but traffic is
carried on over the ice. During
the Russo-Japanese war, track
was laid on the ice and cars
ran over it; stations were estab-
lished on the ice, and even elec-
tric lights were supplied in the
temporary stations.
Besides the Russians settled on
the banks of the Selenga aud
Angara. the shores of the lake are
also inhabited by tribes of Bur-
yats and Tunguses.

WAR MOTHERS BEHIND y
THE PARK MOVEMENT.
Held Enthusiastic Meeting Satur-
day and Now Proceed On
Decorative Work.

The Lewis County War Moth
ers held a very enthusiastic meet
ing last Saturday afternoon at
the Legion Club room in this city,
every moment of which was de-
voted to business and the discus
sion of the many phases Of the
work in hand. The most impor-
tant item taken up at this meet
ing was that of continuing their
portion of the work of making
the Memorial Park reality.
Immediately after organizing
a few months ago, the Mothers
began considering fitting monu-
ment in honor of the boys from
this county who so gallantly de-
Tended the American cause dur
ing the Great War. After careful
thought and investigation, it was
decided the most appropriate
contribution would be a park, as
it would serve as a beautiful tri-
butte to those who SO uncompro-
misingly rendered their services,
and would also meet the need that
has been so long felt in the life Of
the community Investigation
proved that the financial outlay
would be heavy, and as consider
able benefit would accrue to the
general public, it was thought
just to give the citizens an oppor-
tunity to bear the burden of the
expense.
A committee was appointed to
ascertain the wishes of the COM
munity, and it was learned the
citizens were ready to support the
move and other organizations
were very much in favor Of it.
The Mothers have worked
faithfully these past few months,
keeping the matter continually in
the minds of those interested and
creating new interest. The result
is handsome sum has been
pledged which insures park be-
fitting the cause and one which
will meet the demands of our
community life. The climax
came so suddenly and with such
spontaneity that the War Moth
ers began to feel that if they were
to hold their share in the splendid
movement they must Immediately
crystalize a plan to render finan-
cial assistance.
This subject was discussed at
length at Saturdays meeting
with the result that the organiza-
ton will endeavor to raise $500
to be used in buying, planting
and attending to trees, ETC., this
being the original obligation the
Mothers expected to assume.
Toward the close Of the meet
ing. those in attendance accom-
panied Leo Robertson, post
commander of Bryc Post, to the
park, where he gave a very
graphic explanation of the work
in progress and presented some
very helpful suggestions as to
flowers, gardens and shrubbery.
The Mothers will have active di-
rection Of the ornamentation of
the grounds.
The next meeting of the Moth
ers will be held at the Legion
Club Saturday, May Is, when the
study Of Civics will be taken up.
The new books are here and the
first lesson will be the introduc-
ton. This is very interesting
article and contains much help
full material for discussion.
Any one interested in civic bet
terment is invited to join the
class, as regular member or as
an auditor.

DAIRY
POINTS
GREATER USE or PUREBREDs
BY Fractional Ownership of Bulls
Indiana Dairymen Get Benefit of
Such Sires.

In Harrison county, Ind, where the
Better Sires Better Stock" move
ment is gaining Roadway, dairymen are
making wide use of good, purebred
bulls In an economical manner By
fractional ownership of the bulls they
receive the benefit Of such sires with
out mourning the entire purchase cost.
In one day recently the United States
Department of Agriculture received
statements from three dairymen in
Harrison county, all of whom follow
the practice mentioned. The adyan-
tage of choice of several sires is the
wider opportunity to make desirable
matings, thus fastening progress in
grading up herd.
In many other localities dairymen
are combining their forces. sometimes
with the object of testing bulls beforet
sending them to the block, sometimes
to save expense, and sometimes to give,
local predominance to one breed or
another. An informal combination Of
this sort is often highly useful.
This is not the same thing as bull,

CUT DOWN BIG MILK LOSSES
Marked Effect Upon Prices That tn,
Ultimate Consumer Must Pay
for the Product.

To develop better methods for
handling and shipping milk from the
farms to the city market is the OBJ
ject of an investigation of practices
In various milk plants, which is be.
ing made by the dairy division of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Milk losses during shipment
have a marked effect upon the price
that the consumer must pay for the
product, and upon the price that the
farmer receives for the product. The
losses are of two kinds; those re-
sulting from milk souring in transit,
and those from theft, spoilSge and
leakage. Both are believed to be
avoidable if the farmer, country deal
er and city dealer will work to-
gether.
Dealers are being asked to give in
formation on various subjects, such as
the methods used for transporting milk
from the farm to the dealer, the pro-
lection provided for milk while in
transit between dealer and the city
market, and the relative efficiency of
different types of refrigerator cars.
