INFLUENZA BREAKS
0UT|DN SOUTH IDAHO
MUCH ALARM FELT OVER LARGE
NUMBER OF CASES AT
MOUNTAIN HOME

Influenza, the worst plague that
ever swept over the United States, has
again made its appearance in Idaho in
virulent form Mountain Home has
SO cases and the disease is making it's
appearance in other localities. Alarm
is felt and precautionary measures are
urged in all localities. DR.. j. W.
Stevenson, county health officer is in
receipt of telegram from the state
health office at Boise urging that
stringent steps be taken to prevent the
disease getting a foothold here and,
In case it appears, to control and
stamp it out quickly. The telegram,
received this morning, says:
1SInfluenza epidemic in several com
nunities in Idaho. Stringent steps
are essential for it's control. This Of
flee requests sharp look out for
cases with complete and prompt re-
ports. We advocate and will support
local authorities and vigorous action"
The telegram was signed by DIR. E. E.
Laubaugh, who is director of the pub
lie health in Idaho.
Many Cases at Mountain Home.
BOISE, Influenza has brok-
en- out at Mountain Home in proper
tions which may indicate the return of
the dreaded epidemic to Idaho. Sixty
eight cases have developed there since
last Wednesday, the first evidence this
winter of anything like serious re-
turn of the disease to the state.
Or. e. E. Laubaugh, director of the
public health service bureau in the
department of public welfare, went to
Mountain Home Sunday to look into
the situation. He returnerd this morn
ing to meet the mayor, the city coun-
Gil and the county commissioners to

EXPERT THINKS FARMING
SITUATION is EXCELLENT

SPOKANE, Wash-C. E. Arney, as
sistant supervisor of agriculture in
the northwest for the Northern Pacific
discusses the farming situa tion in part
as follows:
"A survey of the agricultural areas
in eastern Washington and northern
Idaho suggests to the informed that
we have passed the initial stage of
development. This means that the
third and fourth relay Of farmers is
with US and this the the group which
sticks and makes success.
"Td say that the Inland Empire
country generally was over medium
in point of successful farmers. and
that more than so per cent of them
are making good. With the use of
the automobile and improved highways
the city folk should take a greater
interest in the subject of agriculture
and all topics which contribut to more
and better farming"

MOSCOW BECOMES
LIVESTOCK MARKET
ONE CARLOAD PRIME STEERS
AND FOUR CARLOADS OF
FAT HOGS ARRIVE

That Moscow is becoming an i'm
portant livestock market is shown by
the heavy receipts at the Hagen &
Gushing stock yards during the past
few days. What is said to be the fin
est carload of steers brought here in
months was received yesterday from
Edgar Evans, of near Genesee, who
combines livestock raising with his
successful wheat farming. The steers
were Herefords, weighed 1900 pounds
each and sold for II cents, live
weight, which means $132 per head.
Last year this firm got one of it's
finest carloads of steers from Mr..
Evans, who sells here because he can
do better than by shipping elsewhere.
Two carloads of fat hogs came from
Juliaetta today and several wagon
loads from that section have been
hauled in. Roy Sweet and I. Ham
gardner of Juliaetta each brought in
two wagon loads in addition to a car
load shipped from Juliaetta to Mos
COW. The Farmers Union, of Gene
see shipped a carload of fat hogs to
Hagen & Cushing yesterday.
Tomorrow the firm will receive
from B. j. Jones, one of the prosper
Gus farmers and stockmen of north
ern Latah county, what Mr.. Hagen
says is the finest carload of hogs
ever shipped to Moscow. They are
Poland Chinas and come from Mrs.
Jones farm, just east of Palouse. The
price paid for hogs is Is cents
pound.

WASHINGTON GRANGE
TAKES FIRM STAND
GREAT FARM ORGANIZATION OF
WASHINGTON DEMANDS RES
IGNATION OF MASTER

VANCOUVER, Wash. = William
Buck, master of the state grange has
been asked to esign by Washington
grange at Orchards.
In the resolution adopted it was
stated that "the national master has
decided that the riple alliance Is a
political party and that any effort
on the part of grange leaders to align
the members with this or any other
political party is a violation of the
rules of the organization; that the
campaign being waged by Mr.. Buck
to align the grange with the triple
alliance is detrimental to the grange
and to the interests of farmers gem
orally; that by indorsing the meth
DDS and principles of radical leaders
whose speeches and literature are
dangerously near to anarchy and re-
bellion, the grange is brought into
disrepute, and also that shorter hours,
more pay and cheaper food for labor
do not fit in we'll with the grange
policies.
This and the anarchist thought
running through much of their liter
ature leads sober-minded people to
fear what would occur if they got
control. That meeting held in
Grand Rapids, in which Mr. Buck took
an active part, the body voted over
whelmingly that farmers and labor
organizations have nothing in. COM
mon" 1t was resolved by Washing
ton grange No. 80 that we disap-
prove of your efforts along this line
and we suggest that since you are out
of harmony with true grange spirit
and find the company of radical labor
more to your liking, that you resign
as state master"
The resolution committee included
w. H. Chilson, R. B. Phipps and A. H.
Griner Meta d. McCafferty is mas
ter of the Washington grange and
Mrs. Joseph Bersch is secretary.
