MAY ESTABLISH AIR ROUTE
TO NORTHERN OIL FIELDS

EDMONTON, Alta.-(By A. P.)-
The establishment Of an aerial route
from Edmonton to the oil fields of
Fort Norman on the Mackenzie riv-
er is the latest talked Of development
in connection with the pressing trans
portation problem existing as result
of the Fort Norman point being SO
far removed from the business ccnters
of Alberta.
Edmonton aviators are entering in
to negotiations for such a service with
a zest indicating that as little time as
possible will be wasted in the prelimi-
nary arrangements.
The proposal calls foc the establish
ment of landing stages at intervals
along the route and the Transports
tion, in the first instance, before fly
ing, of gasoline and other essentials
for the successful operation of flying
machines The distance to Fort Nor
man from here is about 900 miles as
the crow flies. Three or four days at
the most would be sufficient to ac-
complish the distance when once a
relay service of planes is established.

"It has been a hard fight, those

al went on with the usual humorous
twinkle in his eye. 81 come back on

pepsia holding me in it's grip. With
out taking back anything that I have

Force cooks being rank amateurs,

luncheons, l survived them all"
To the suggestion that most of the
chefs at the leading hotels were
French, General Fayolle replied:
They may be but they certainly have
undergone an evolution for they had
strange dishes of their own"

replied.
Don't ask me to talk local Ameri-

DEAN MESSENGER
TALKS TO STUDENTS

TION ADDRESSES CHAPEL
AND POINTS GOOD IDEAS.

eff you hitch your wagon to a star,
as the proverb says, look out for the
boy who bitches his to team of
mules" advised DR.. j. F. Messenger,
dean of the University of Idaho
school of education and professor of
philosophy today in an address before
a university audience.
"The life of every boy and girl is
directed and misdirected by minor de-
cisions which in themselves are insig-
nificant," he said Wavering between
doing and not doing task, his future
hangs in the balance. He may stay
at low level or mount to higher
plane, be honest or dishonest, trust
worthy or untrustworthy, true or
false, successful or unsuccessful
throughout his career as the result of
his judgment in a situation which at
the moment is of the smallest import
ance.
eff we look for evil we will find
evil. If we look for good we will find
good. The world will think of US ac-
cording to what we say and do. The
pessimist sees only the disagreeable
in life. The optimist sees the beauti-
full. If we talk of evil the world will
think us evil; if we talk of good it
likewise says we are good. The world
is a mirror in which we see ourselves
reflected. If we are plain, tn, pic
ture will be plain; to improve the i'm
age, we must change ourselves.
"In life we caEnot all be poets, mu-

FARMERS OF CAMAS
PRAIRIE HARD HIT.
.CHAIGMONT NEWSPAPER TELLS
OF CONTINUED DROP IN
WHEAT AND ITS EFFECT.
(Lewis County Register)

For the first time in several years
wheat is quoted in Craigmont S1.2E
per bushel. 1t is estimated that sew
enty-five per cent Of the local crop
is yet held by the farmers, and some
seem to think that the price will not
raise till the spectators and gamblers
of the big market centers of the ma
tion get a majority of the wheat un-
der their control. However the day of
lower prices in many lines is here
and wheat is one of the foundation
posts of things comercial, and it is
barely possible that it may yet go to
a dollar per bushel.
1t is generally believed that we of
this generation will never see $2
wheat again. Itsis discouraging for
a farmer to sell his wheat for less
than it cost him, but such is the case
now, with many who owe money at
the bank and at the stores and there
fore is soon going to be forced to sell.
Local banks have hesitated about re-
questing the farmers to sell their
grain and pay up, but many are sorry
they did not do this week ago, the far
mers would be much better off today
We have heard of one farmer who
has three years crop of wheat yet on
hand and number who have two
years crop, all held in the hope that
this year would see the peak of prices
in wheat, while many times during
that time wheat has reached twice the
average price paid during a period ex-
tending over 80 years.
In many ways it has been big
gamble, and it would seem that like
the apple men of few years ago,
the farmer and some of the mer-
chants have drawn the low card. We
know how they feel, for years we
were in the apple game in certain
Garden of Eden," in Idaho, and got
proper.
This prairie is not the only place
hit either, every wheat grower in the.
world is in the same boat, but with
cheaper labor in sight and cheaper
for next year, these pra
rie farmers will beat the world yet.
It's up to everybody to keep a stiff
upper lin.

FIELD SECRETARY
ON TUBERCULOSIS
WARNING GIVEN PEOPLE OF
IDAHO ON NEED OF FIGHT
ING THE "WHITE PLAGUE

NJ S. Parker, field secretary of the
Idaho tuberculosis association,
who gave an illustrated health address
at the high school auditorium We'd
nesday evening, today had the follow
ing to say relative to the dread DIS
ease, the principal objective of the
said association financed by the sale
of Christmas Seals:
"The appalling number of deaths
from tuberculosis, in the United
States has made it decidedly neces-
sary that every man, women and child
should vigorously take up the work
of fighting this dread disease from
every possible angle. Tuberculosis
ravages the people from one end Of
the world to the other. 1t is very
generally accepted fact that there is
no positive immunity from this dis
ease either among men or the lower
animals, If shut up and dep1 we'd of
fresh air; all thus situated are very
likely to become infected with this
malady. Only in recent years has the
world in general realized the enor-
nous inroads being made by this dis
ease, and when the figures are seen
they are simply appalling, for. they
reveal the fact that every third per-
years dies from it-every fourth per-
son between 20 and so years cf age.
In other words, it kills one in ten IF
all the people who die at any age. The
very sad fact that deaths IN the
world from tuberculosis in one year
aggregate more than 100000, 1907
900 of which occur in the United
States, and, too, from disease that
is durable and preventable, should at
once cause every thinking person to
do everything in his power to arrest
it's progress.
"It disables its victims, renders
them useless for long time gener-
ally before they die, thus often beg
caring their families. 1t is about the
most 1amentable thing in the world
and society really has no valid excuse
for Indifference or negligence in the
matter of controlling this disease.
cover 1885 people died from tuber
culosis in Idaho the last five years, or
there were deaths of about 200 of our
citizens annually from this disease.
There are usually about five living
cases for every death in the state,
which fact indicates that there are
about 5,175 cases of tuberculosis in
Idaho in more or less active form.
"It is known that many of the
cattle of this country have tuberculo-
sis and unquestionably many people,
children, contract the dis
ease from that source. Eight percent
IF all deaths from tuberculosis Is
caused by the use of milk from cows
with this disease.
"Buy Christmas Seals and help in
5he fight against tuberculosis and
,ther diseases.
