YOUTH SAVESTRAIN
BY QUICK THINKING
Tree Felled by Lightning
Rolled From Track
As Express Passes.
By ALBERT UMBERGER.

Jack Clark carried his fathers
supper to him every evening. His
father worked in a railroad signal
tower about two miles from where
Jack lived When pressed for time
he took the short cut by walking
the railroad track. Tonight he was
pressed for time. for dark thunder
clouds were banked in the west.
Jack hoped to get back before the
storm broke. 1t was dark and the
sky looked threatening when he
reached the tower. He gave the
supper to his father and set out
for home. Could he make it before
the storp- broke?
in, for the track ran through n
thick woods where there was dan
ger of falling trees that might be
struck by lightning. The track
was a perfect magnet for lightning
and in his belt he carried a small
steel av which would also draw
lightning.
When he was about half way
home the fury of the storm broke.
A streak of lightning struck some
thing about a rod in front of him.
There was a terrific noise like the
splitting of wood and the ground
shook under his feet. When Jack
turned the bend of the track, he
saw something that made him
shudder, for a giant oak lay across
the track. The lightning had felled
this monarch of the woods and 1t
would mean sure disaster to 4 train
IL left there.
He knew there was an express
train that passed by here about
$40. He had left the house at I
and he had been away about an
hour. therefore, he thought it must
be around 8 o'clock. The orly plan
he could think of then and the one
that took less time was to chop
away the part of the tree that lay
across the track. from the rest of
the tree. What was that! Between
the rumbling of the thunder. he
heard the whistle OF an approach
ing train. He must work fast or
the lives of many people would be
lost. Whipping out his ak, he at
tackled the tree savagely. By the
time he had one end of the part of
the tree that lay across the track
loose. he could see the light from
the locomotive shining around the
bend. With nerves tense he at
tackled the other end. 1t seemed he
would not be able to chop the other
end through and roll the log off
the track before the train would
be upon him.
The train rushed toward him like
an angry bull By almost super
human effort he chopped the log
through. There remained but to
roll the log off, but the train was
lust a yard from him. With one
supreme effort he rolled the log off
the track and jumped. A half second
later the train rushed past.

Gathering Exhibit for Fairs.

The Lewiston Fair will be held
September 1917 and the Lewis
County Fair is to be held early
in October. AT their July session
the Lewis county commissioners
appropriated $1,000 to be used
in providing a farm products ex-
hibit at the former exposition
and in financing the latter.
S. b. Onthank, the well known
pioneer horticulturist and farmer
of Kamiah, has been engaged to
work under the direction of
County Agent C. III. Behnke in
assembling this exhibit and is
now touring Lewis county on his
important mission. Every farm
er can assist in this work of col
lecting the best products, or sam
Piles thereof, by notifying either
of the above named gentlemen
of something in the way of
grains, grasses, vegetables or
fruits that is growing on his
farm or that has come under his
observation, of proper grade and
quality to be elassed among the
show aticles.
The samples that are taken
will be properly arranged and
labeled, and when viewed by the
many who will attend the fairs,
will go a long way toward plac-
ing Lewis county well to the
front in the pubic eye as a great
agricultural commonwealth.

That Kamiah-Nezperce Road.

Periodically, or perhaps often
er, talk is renewed for a better
road from Kamiah to Nezperce
That road is badly needed on
to the prairie goes without ques
tion; that the survey made yea
before last is impossible ON ac
count of the cost is also agreed
to; so other routes must be
looked up.
Yesterday we heard the propo
sition of the Lawyers canyon
route brought up again. AL
things considered, this is per
haps the most logical route; il
is shorter, the hill can be made
through SO grade, and the
prairie road is more level than
the present road from the top Oh
the hill to the county seat. The
route which has the favor OF
many, among them County Sur
veyor Carlisle, is this: From Nez
perce east to the Abel Newton
ranch, thence bearing to the east
side of the canyon around the
Hog Back to connect with the
present Lawyers canyon road
near the Kitchen ranch house,
and ON into Kamiah. The dis
tance between the two towns is
shorter by three miles than by
the present highway, the grade
would not exceed 5s6 and the
cost of construction and mainte-
nance would be within the means
of the county and Kamiah High
way district.
The Lewis and Clark highway
is now assured from Lewiston as
far as Greer, there being sixteen
miles of very expensive road to
connect Kamiah and Greer Out
side aid, state and federal must
be secured to construct this, but
none can be expected unless the
road is needed for more than To-
cal use. With a connection be-
tween Kamiah and the North and
South Highway at Craigmont,
there would be a demand for
opening up the Kamiah-GreerI
section and outside funds would
without doubt be forthcoming.
The project is worthy the con-
sideration of the Kamiah high
way commissioners. They surely
ought to be willing to give the
of the district chance to
express their desires on the sub
iect Progress. :.

NATIONWIDE MOVE
TO HELP FARMER.
Every County Called On to Lay
Facts Before Congressional
Commission On Farm
Conditions.


The American Farm Bureau
4 Federation has requested that an
agricultural hearing be held in
every county in the United
States. The county agent is to
take charge of these hearings and
is asked to assume the role of
prosecuting attorney and ques-
] tion farmers representing each
kind of crops produced in order
to draw from the farmer his opin-
ion as to causes for existing con-
ditions.
The facts brought out by these
hearings will be presented by the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton to joint Commission of Ag-
riculture Inquiry made up of five
Senators and five Representa-
tives, now being held in Wash
ington ID. G. By Act of Congress
said commission was created to
investigate and report to Con-
gress upon the following sub
jects: LIST. the cause of the pres
ent condition of agriculture; 2nd
the cause of the difference be-
tween the prices of agricultural
products paid to the producer
and the ultimate cost to the con-.
sumer; 3rd the comparative con-
dition of industries other than
agriculture; 4th the relation OF
price of commodities other than
agricultural products, to such
products; 5th the banking and
financial resources and credits
of the country, especially as Of
fecting agricultural credit; 9th
marketing and transportation of
facilities of the country.
The Commission is to include
in its report recommendations
for legislation which in its opin-
ion will tend to remedy existing
conditions and shall specifically
report upon the limitations of the
powers of Congress IN enacting
relief legislation.
The Commission is composed
