IDAHO LANDS
AND TIMBER
$2,SO9,986
Land Commissioner I. H. Nash
Reports Large Returns
To State.

While in ATTENDANCE at the meeting
tion association at Spokane last week,
State Land Commissioner l. H. Nash
gave out some very interesting figures
regarding the magnitude Of the states
business IN both lard and timber, COW
ering the biennium of 1919-1920
During this period the state sold
1929 acres of state land for a total
of 50, ,S09,9 ,9S5, and timber covering 90
769 acres for 1857 4S7, total sales for
the period amounting to $3,767 ,473.
Annual Benefits Million Dollars.
"This money is all placed at inter
est, most of it at 6 per cent, and yields
approximately $230,000 to the benefit
OF the common schools and special
state grants for which it composes
perpetual fund the interest alone
from which may be used The state
now has about $14,000,000 Of such
money invested, from which, together
with the leases. the state benefits
a million dollars yearly.
I'm the biennium of 1867, the
land sales amounted to 93,117 acres
for 1892 663 and the timber sales
to 5120 acres at total of S66, 113.
Thus the land sales for the last two
years almost doubled the preceding
period in volume at an increased
price of so per cent per acre and the
timber sales quadrupled in volume
and in price received.
To Exchange Surveyed Land.
"In- 1913 the unsurveyed state land
within the forest reserves, amount
ing roughly to a half million acres,
was exchanged for other land. The
law then was construed not to per-
init the exchange of the surveyed
land, of which there is about 100000
acres. Now, according to a recent
decision of the supreme court, this
may be done, and there is a PROPOSE
tion under consideration for the eX-
change Of these lands for compact
block on the forest reserve borders"

Permission to deduct income taxes
paid this year from next years as
sessable income was proposed as a
business relief measure by Represen-
tative Alderman, Republican, New
Jersey. who declared that the burden
of taxes should not be further increas

to be paid into the federal treasury
Bills were offered in the senate in
large numbers today with the general
aim of stimulating business The
program Of Senator Capper, republi-

measures to regulate grain exchanges
while Senator McCumber, republican,
North Dakota, introduced bills to
prohibit the importation for one year
Of grain and grain products and live

and the appointement by the president
of a commission to prepare for con-
gress a general system Of cooperative
marketing
Cooperative marketing also was
dealt with in the house bills. Means
of taking care of the surplus Of cereal
crops and at the same time assuring

by Representative Christopherson, re

FARM RELIEF MEASURES
PLACED BEFORE CONGRESS
Leaders Believe Actual Enactment Will Not Occur During
Present Session-Report Millions of
Men Unemployed.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Congressiona
consideration Of methods to aid in
restoring normal business conditions
appeared in the offing tonight with
the announcement that majority
members of the house ways and
means committee would meet tomor-
row to discuss legislative program
with respect to commerce and indus
try.
The enormous number of bills deal
ing with farming and industry pre-
sented yesterday and today, together
with an apparent desire of leaders to
do something for business generally,
made 1t appear certain that congress
sional attention would he turned to
business problems, once the appro-
priation bills are out Of the way
Leaders in the senate and house do
not believe that actual enactment of
any such legislation can be accom-
plished during the present session but
they are evidently agreed that the
foundations should be laid through
committee consideration for prompt
action after March next
The ways and means committee
will have before it a wide range of
proposals, for bills already dropped
in the senate and house hoppers in
clude measures providing all the way
from far reaching tax and tariff re-
forms and agricultural relief to aid
or protection to limited groups or in
dustries.
Some of the measures submitted
would direct congressional investiga-
tion Of unemployment. Among such
measures was resolution presented
today by Representative Mason, re
publican, Illinois, calling for a series
of house committee Investigations and
a conference of governors and federal
officials to ascertain facts and figures
and make recommendations. Mr..

Farm Bureau and Shorthorn
Breeders Association Plan
Buildings and Grounds.
FIRST ANNUAL SALE
First Annual Shorthorn Sale
May 7; To Accommodate
Community Sales.

At meeting of the executive board
of the County Farm Bureau and mem-
bers Of te Idaho County Shorthorn
Breeders association held at the Office
of County Agent Ralph M. Pavey at
the Court House Wednesday afterneen
nent county fair was set in motion,
and a committee to act In connection
with the president of the bureau, Geo
A. Cowgirl, one member from the city
and one from the Shorthorn associa-
tion, L. NJ. Harris and Edwin Nelson
was appointed.
1t Is proposed to have the county
commissioners give the bureau a lease
on the block west of the old court
house site, where ample buildings and
a sales pavilion could be erected, the
bureau, the breeders association and
business men Of the city defraying the
expenses of the enterprise.
Community Sales.
The community sales feature inaug-
urated a few days ago by Auctioneers
Cranke & Johnson, could also be hand
led from this same sales pavilion and
thereby do away with the necessity of
duplication in buildings. With this
idea in view, the subscriptions taken
recently by Mr.. Johnson will be can
celled with the sole intention OF as
sisting In the enterprise, which when
workd out will result in permanent
and much needed annual county fair.
The community sale announced for the
! 18th of December will be held at some
suitable place pending the erection of
the pavilion.
ShOrthOrn Sale May Z.
The Shorthorn breeders throughout
the county are accommodating goodly
number of purebred animals and one
OF the features of the association Is
the annual sale, and naturally a suit
able place to hold these sales must be
provided. This organizat ton Is willing
we are informed, to join with the citi-
zens under auspices OF the farm Dur
eau, to secure the needed buildings.
The County Fair.
There seems to be considerable de-
mand for an annual county fair and we
can conceive Of no public enterprise
that would be of more benefit to the
county as whole A fair could be
made Of vast educational value to our
citizens and Of immense advertising
value TO the outside world. We have
an exceedingly fine class OF stock OF
all varieties. our reputation for grains
and grasses is fast being made, and
friendly competition along these lines
would prove a stimulus for greater en-

THE DANGERS" OF FLYING

Hardly a day passes that one doesn't read
of some horrible airpane accident"
Haven't you heard this remark dozen
times lately? And hasn't flying become as
sociated in your mind with fearful tailspins,
splintered machines and CORY eorpses?
But did you ever consider the number of
planes that are being flown every day over
the United States? Or did you ever compare
the casualties between the automobile and
airplane for distance travelled?
There is something about a plano plung-
ing mile to its doom that appeals to ones
sense of the picturesque. And that is the
reason such crashes" are faithfully chroni-

accident is tucked away in a modest corner
of the paper.
There are men in the vicinity of Seattle
veteran aviators-who have flown distances
that would take them around the earth a
hundred times--and without mishap.
There are scores of military aviators in
the state who flew for months under adverse
war conditions and did not so much as break
a prop"
Given a machine that is carefully inspect
ed, pilot that is experienced and cautious,
and flying is hardly more dangerous than
driving a Henry thru n crowded street,

against a return OF the saloons. One
voted bone.dry. The rest voted for
light wines and beer.
In Montana and California have
seen wine and beer sold openly. The
sales Of nationally advertised yeast
have increased So per cent. in the
past few months. II is hard TO be
lieve that the people are eating that
much more bread.

that the government should take
