greatly impressed with this

ing from a two weeks trip in the
Elk City country and the Red
River Hot Springs. At the
springs they spent about a week
taking baths which proved bene-
ficial to every member of the
party. The trip was made in
Mikes Dodge which proved cap
able to the occasion of pulling
them over the rough mountain
Gus roads. In several places
they were compelled to cut the
trees out of the roads which
were blown down by the wind.
Little work has been done on the
road leading to Elk, and in many
places high centers are encoun-
tered. which makes driving a car
difficult task. On one stretch
for seven miles, they were COM
PEELED to navigate in "low." "
Gasoline, they stated was selling
for 70 cents a gallon in Elk City.

BOND ISSUE
wins OUT
1O2 VOTED FOR AND AZ
AGAINST $4,000
BOND ISSUE.

The special election held in
Cottonwood Tuesday, at the |. 0.
o. F. hall for the purpose of vot-
ing bonds to the amount of $2O,-
900 for the purpose of improv-
ing the streets leading out OF the
city carried by the necessary
two-thirds vote to make it pos
sible for the city council to issue
these bonds. The outcome of
the election was very close 102
voting for the issue and AZ
against, only five votes having
been necessary to defeat the
proposition. The vote was very
decisive III favor of the improve
ment but as the law requires a
two thirds of all the votes cast
it was necessary to get out every
voter in favor of the issue to cast
his or her vote. Only taxpay-
ers were allowed to vote.
The bonds have already been
advertised for sale and will be
sold on September 3rd, this hav-
ing been done in order to speed
up matters if the issue carried.
A great many are already ask
ing the question; "Will they do
any work this fall ?" 1t is reason
able to assume, if weather con-
ditions permit that at least the
short stretch leading out of Cot
tonwood via the slaughter house
will be completed if possible this
fall in order to connect with the
hard surface work already COM
pleted by the Cottonwood high.
way district. This is one of the
heaviest travelled roads and one
of the worst to navigate ovei
when the rains set in.
The vote cast at the special
election Tuesday is considered 6
very heavy one, considering that
only taxpayers were permitted
by law to vote.

LENCTHEN
LAND LEASES
INDIAN PROPERTY MAY
NOW BE SECURED FOR
FOUR TO FIVE YEARS.

Five year leases on the crop
rotation plan, OF four year leases
for two straight summer-fallow
crops can now be written on local
Indian lands, according to an
nouncement issued from the Nez
Perce Indian agency at Lapwai
by Superintendent o. ii. Lipps.
Hitherto the leasing of Indian
lands has been limited to one,
two and three years. The change
in the leasing rules was made,
according to Mr.. Lipps, in re-
sponse to insistent demands on
the part of the more progressive
farmers of the reservation for
longer term leases. 1t has also
been conceded, said Mr.. Lipps,
that spring crops, particularly
when raised on spring blowing,
do not pay. and are bad for the
land.
Authority for the heightened
leases has been secured from the
Indian office at Washington, D.
The agency at Lapwai has
$4,000 acres of farm land under
lease. Independent of the agency
Indians themselves are leasing
about 10000 acres additional.
The office of the Nez Perce
Indian agency will be open for
the leasing of Indian lands COM
mencing September /. As far as
! practicable leases will be written
for the following terms:
l. For five years on a crop
rotation plah as recommended by
the county farm agents or by the
state agricultural college.
2. For four years, two
straight summer fallow crops,
on lands located on sections
where the five year crop rota-
tion may not be practicable.
3. For three years, one sum.
mer falloW crop and one spring
crop on fall blowing, on lane
located in the more favorable
!. sections of the reservation.
4. For two years-one sum
mer fallow crop-where the foul
lease may be impracticable.
5. For one year on valley
lands used for gardening, where
longer term lease is not desired
This plan is intended to elm
mate spring grain crops as fal
as possible'in order that the fer
tility of the soil may be better
conserved, and also to extend tn,
leases from the three year max
. imum for which they have here
tofore been written to five years
This arrangement should act a
an inducement to Progressive
farmers on account of the longe
! tenure and prove beneficial t,
the Indian owners also.
There are POI agriculture
leases comprising approximate,
1000 acres, that expire Decem
! ber 81, 1921, and are open TO
renewal or release. The presen
leases of these lands, who de
; sire to renew them under tn
above terms, will, as heretofore
be given preference and the op
portunity of meeting the highes
