GIL SUICIDES IN U. S.

Suicides in the United States
during 1920 numbered GIL, in
cluding TOT children, members
of the Save a Life league were
told here today by DR.. H. M.
Warren, president of the league.
This exceeded the figures of the
previous year by more than 1000
cases, he said. During the year
1904 women died through self
destruction. This is a large in
crease over the preceding year.
The increased perce ntage
among women was ascribed to
their entry in commercial and
political life. Unhappy domes-
tic relations and living condi-
tions also were largely contribut-
ing factors.
The Youngest suicide in the
country during the last year was
five years of age, while the old
est was 103. More than 400
soldiers have taken their lives
since the termination of the war,
the report stated.
Classified among the suicides
were rs presidents and mana
gers of large business concerns,
36 men reputed to be millionair-
es, 25 wealthy women, "a law
yers, eight judges, 81 doctors,
40 stage people, 34 college pro-
fessors and teachers, 81 college
students. "a brokers, SO bankers,
including IA bank presidents, IL
clergymen, two evangelists and

GIVEN EXTRA TIME.

An order waving requirement
that grazing fees on forest re-
serves shall be paid this spring
80 days in advance of driving
stock into the reserve was issued
by the secretary of agriculture
at Washington Saturday. Where
an extension is desired interest
at one Der cent a month will be
charged for each month of the
first payment according to tel
egram from Senator Gooding
made public at Boise Saturday.
Time for payment has been ex-
tended to August 4.
With the present financial
conditions the above ruling will
be of great benefit to the stock
men in this section of the state
for thousands of cattle and sheep
are taken to the reserves by
stockmen in the spring.
The new order was issued at
the suggestion of Senator Good
ing.

SELL TREES AT COST.

That it distributed one hun
dred and seventy-five thousand
tested forest and shade trees the
past biennium is the interesting
report coming from the School of
Forestry, University of Idaho at
Moscow. These trees were sent
out by the school in pursuance of
its policy to encourage the plant
ing of windbreaks, woodlots, and
shade trees by supplying the
planting stock to the people of
the state at cost. That the
service is appreciated is shown
by the fact that the demand for
trees is growing rapidly from
year to year.
The tree in greatest demand is
the black locust. This is being
planted largely for fence post
production. The other dozen
trees in greatest demand, to
name the most popular first, are
Norway spruce, Douglas fir,
Norway maple, sycamore maple,
blue spruce, black walnut, white
ash, silver maple, red oak, jack
pine, Engelmann spruce and sug-
az maple.
A 1921 price list will be sent
on application to the School of
Forestry, Moscow, Idaho.

SAYS IT'S A MIS-
UNDERSTANDING
NEZPERCE HERALD GIVES
ITS SIDE ON OROFINO-
NEZPERCE ROAD.

Much comment, says the Nez-
perez Herald, was made last
week in the Kamiah and Craig
mont papers relative to the mat
ter of a state highway between
Orofino and Nezperce. The
Herald continues and says:
We assume that most of the
criticism was in order for the
reason that the article appearing
in the Lewiston Tribune last
week credited the news anent
this matter to Nezperce, and for
the further reason that the art
icle did not state the facts as
they actually transpired at the
meeting held here, and we feel
that we should give our readers
and all others interested in this
matter a further statement of
the actualities in the case:
A meeting of the Nezperce
Commercial Club was held on
Monday, January II, the same
having peen called for the pur-
pose OF a conference with del
egation from Gilbert and Oro-
fino, the spokesman of which
party was Judge w. B. Kinney
of Orofino.
1t seems that meetings had
been held at Orofino and Gilbert
with the objective of having a
road from Orofino via Gilbert
and Nezperce to Grangeville de-
signed as state highway. Judge
Kinney put the matter before
the meeting here in this way,
and in the further consideration
OF the proposition it was brought
out that to get this it would be
necessary to abandon the pre-
sent designated highway from
Nezperce to Kamiah.
In the discussion of the mat
ter the Nezperce Commercial
Club went on record (Which fact
may be verified by Judge Kinney
or any member of his party) as
teing absolutely opposed to the
abandonment of the proposed
highway from Nezperce to KAN
iah, and the said Club also op-
posed the proposition of the
highway from Nezperce tc
Grangeville, in view of the fact
that the North and South high
way as now located will serve the
people of Idaho county, and the
suggested parallel highway could
not under any circumstances be
built, and there was no inclina-
tion on the part of Nezperce tc
change any of the already desig.
mated roads.
The local Commercial Club al.
so went on record as being much
in favor of the designation OF
this new highway from Nezperce
to Orofino-this and no other.
1t seems that the people OF
Orofino and Gilbert and the

DOES A FINE BUSINESS.

Ihe CamaS Pralrie railroad
stands out as an exception in
that during the year ending
December 81, 1920, the freight
and passenger business in and
out of Lewiston was approx
mately Is per cent greater than
that of the year previous, ac-
cording to the estimates of rail-
road officials who have not as
yet compiled detailed figures.
There are very few railroads
in the country that can possibly
make as good a showing, as
early in the year just passed the
prevailing depression set in, and
since then there has been a not
iceable falling off of business re
ported on all railroads lines in
the United States.
The. showing of the Camas
Prairie road is especially remark
able when it is considered that
the grain tonnage has fallen be-
low that of 1919. However, the
diversified resources adjacent to
Lewiston, which have been in a
state of gradual development
have had a tendency to keer
conditions comparatively normal
here, and in all lines the univer-
sal depression has been felt the
least here of any place in the
northwest. Weather conditions
have also had a great deal to do
with keeping things moving this
winter.
Another indication of the pros
perous condition of the road. is
that there has been no retrench-
ing in labor employed as has
been reported on nearly all other
lines. In fact. the maintenance
department, which usually laws
off a number of men in Decem-
her during the winter, has found
it convenient until recently. on
account of the mild weather To
keep the full force at work. The
reducing of the maintainance
force at this time is part of the
policy of the company every
year, and has nothing to do with
the prevailing general condi.
tions.
Regardless of the dull whea,
market there has been consider
able wheat moving this winter
on this and connecting lines. and
on many branches where usually
only tri-weekly freight service
has heen kept up, it has beer
found necessary to maintain {
daily schedule.-Lewiston Tri

SENATE REPEAL
HIGHWAY LEVY
SENATOR SETH JONES OF
IDAHO COUNTY PUTS UP
SPIRITED FIGHT.

Boise, Feb l.-Senate bill No.
66, repeating the two-mill high
way tax levy law enacted by the
18th session of the Legislature,
passed the senate this morning
by vote of 3S to 5. The long
expected fight on the bill broke
when it came up for third read
ing. Seth Jones of Idaho coun-
ty, leader of the opposition fac
ton, sought to stay action by
moving that the bill retain its
place OH the calendar. This
brought an objection from Sen
ator Seaver who announced the
bill had been before the senate
long enough for final action.
Senator Whitcomb, president
pro tem., favored the measure
but sought to have the bill re-
committed to the committee for
further consideration, stating
that, without certain knowledge,
the senators could not vote in
telligently on it. He informed
the senate that if the motion to
send the bill back to the COM
mittee prevailed he would at
once introduce a resolution re-
Quiring the state highway de-
partment to make report on its
work, what it had done, where
the money had been expended,
what they had received from
counties and from the federal
government.
The Twin Falls salon most
strenuously opposed the motion.
He stated that without fear of
contradiction he would submit to
the senate that the measure was
drawn without any relation to
any other measure and that it
had no relation to any other is
sue unless such were injected in
to it.. He declared it carried
out a direct pledge made to the
people in the last campaign and
that the senator's should be men
enough to stand up and carry out
those pledges. He urged that
the issue he met now as the bill
had been under consideration
long enough to get any informa-
ton desired.
Senator Jones of Idaho county
sprang into the breach in an at
tempt to save the measure. He
contended that in his county the
politicians who spoke from the
stump had pledged themselves
for the North and South high
way and that the highway could
not be completed and maintained
unless the levy continued. Direct
ing his remarks at Senator Seav-
er, he declared a report had been
read to the senate a few days
ago to show that the highway
department had a vast sum on
hand whereas it did not have
any money and the report was
wrong.
Senator Seaver rose to point
of personal privilege, declaring
that there was no investigation
of any senator as far as he knew.
The chair ruled that personal al
lusions must be cut out.
Senator Jones then continued
his plea for postponement of the
bill until further facts on the
finances of the state highway
department could he secured.
