UNIVERSITY TRACK
TEAM SCHEDULE ARRANGED

The schedule of track meets for the
University of Idaho has been arrang-
ed and Coach Kelley believes it is one
of the best in several years. He is
encouraged over the outlook for Ida
no winning many points and says the
team is especially strong in weights,
middle and distance runs, but needs
strength in high jump, pole vaule and
sprinters to make a well balanced
team. The coach is working to de-
velop more strength in these places.
The schedule as arranged opens
with the relay races at Seattle on
April 80. One week later Idaho meets
w. S. C. at Pullman in dual track
meet On May IA the team meets the
University of Montana at Missoula.
May Fl the team meets Whitman Col
lege, of Walla Walla, here and on
June A the conference meet will be
held at Pullman. The high school in
terscholastic meet for Idaho will be
held on the University of Idaho field
on May 19 and 20 and is expected to
be the biggest event of it's kind ever
held here.

board. Major Fem has been in Boise
during the entire session of the legis-
lature and it might be of interest TO
the people who have read his III .icle
to know who is footing his expenses
and his salary for the so days willie
the Legislature is in session.
The forestry control bill has never
been given any publicity except be-
fore the legislature. The people are
not acquainted with its provisions and
lack of space alone prevents a
thorough discussion of the features
Of this bill in this article There is
no question but what the idea of the
bill originated in the minds of those
who control the forests in North
Idaho.
If we need forestry control bill in
Idaho it should be so framed and
worded as to protect the privare IN
ter holders as we'll as the large cor
porate interests The cost of fire pa
troll and OF fire extinguishment should
be apportioned according to the ex-
pense of putting out fires originating
from natural causes. The cost
of extinguishing fires caused by log
ging operations should be paid ex-
clusively by the timber companies
whose carelss operations cause such
fires.
In conclusion 1t might be well to
take Major Fenn's advice and for the
people to write to their representa-
tives in the legislature to vote against
the bill.

ESCAPES FROM JAIL
BOY WHO ROBBED PHILADEL-
PHIA BANK AND HIS OWN
FATHER WAS RECAPTURED.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho-Elliott
Michner added another chapter to his
escapades Saturday night when he
and Dean Martin were held in the de-
tention room awaiting transfer to st.
Anthony today.
The boys took down several cur
tain rods in the detention room, which
adjoins the sheriff's office, and fas-
tened them together, making long
pole, which they poked through the
bars and hooked bunch of keys on
top of a desk. They then unlocked
the door and went into the office,
where they took suitcase, razor
and pair of handouts and made
their gateway.
Charles Burroughs, who sleeps. at
the jail, discovered the escape when
he came to the building to retire for
the night and Immediately notified
the sheriff and policemen. Night Pa
trolman Mike Roach spotted the boys
in an alley back of the Colquhoun
hardware store, hiding behind pile
of barrels and threw his flashllght
into their faces.
The Michener by jumped out with
the razor and ordered the officer to
throw up his hands. Roach grabbed
his arm and took the razor. The boys
were taken to the industrial school to-
day in charge of Percy Burnell.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING /
MEN TO CALIFORNIA
MEN FROM UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO
MAY BE GIVEN CHANCE TO
SECURE LANDS. ~

Some nine or ten vocational men
now studying agriculture at the Uni
versity of Idaho will next week be
given an opportunity to transfer to
California where they may go to work
on the McDevitt project-which will
eventually lead to their gaining title
to tract of farm land.
The McDewitt project is one Of the
most novel and interesting plans that
has yet been suggested for the re-
habiliation of men who were disabled
while in the service.
In Imperial Valley, California, Mr..
McDevitt owns farm of six or seven
thousand acres, under irrigation and
ideal for farming. On this will be
assembled 400 vocational men who, un-
der competent leaders, will be given a
thorough course in theoretical phases
of agriculture and at the same time
will learn the practical side Of asri-
culture under an experienced forelnanz
The plan of the federal board tor vo-
cational training calls for two-year
course of training. The farm will be
organized on cooperative basis, the
profits Of the work going into frnd
WHICH, at Luo 01iu Ok tuo LWO-ycoI
period, will be used to buy land for
each man. 1t is estimated that the
revenue from crops. after deducting
operating expenses, will be sufficient
TO accomplish this
Each man will get his own tract Cf
lapu farm it in bis own way anil e0-
gage in any phase of agriculture that
appeals to him. Cotton raising, vege-
table gardening, and similar lines are
considered among the most profitable.
Poultry raising in this section has
also been found remunerative by
many people.

FAULT WITH BILL
MOSCOW MAN POINTS OUT WEAK
NESSES. OF MAJOR FENN'S
FORESTRY PROJECT.

| The following article, written by
A. H. Oversmith, of Moscow, calls at
tention to what Mr.. Oversmith thinks
are serious defects in the proposed
forestry law for Idaho. His COM
munication follows:
Major Fenn's article on the pro-
posed bill before the legislature and
which appeared in your paper last
night is cleverly written and from a
casual reading of the article a good
case is presented.
In his article he states that there
is 100000 acres of timber land
chiefly owned by non-residents and
who have never paid dollar towards
fire protection He also goes on to
state that this timber is being held
for speculation The private timber
holder does not object to a reason
able assessment for fire protection but
he does object to being called a specu-
latOr in timber when it is impossible
for him to sell his holdings at any
price. The large timber companies
have acquired all Of the better timber
in Idaho and control virtually all of
the outlets Of such timber.
The state has always paid its pro-
portion of the costs of fighting forest
fires and the private individual has
contributed to this fund through tax
alton. The large timber owning COM
panies, together with the state Of
Idaho, have associated themselves to-
gether In five different timber pro-
jective associations. These associ
atiOns have voluntarily contributed
towards fire protection in the past
and should continue to do so in the
future for the reason that they own
all of the most valuable timber in
Idaho and have the private holdings
absolutely under their control and
which they can buy at their own
price. 1t is also a well known fact
that great many of the forest fires
arising in North Idaho have been
started on account of the careless
operation of the big timber COM
panies. 1t is probably safe to say
that rs per cent of the bad fires
which have started in the timbered
sections during the past ten years,
has been In territories where the tim
Der companies are operating. The
remaining cause of fire in the timber
is lightning. The bill which Major
Fem is now so anxious about proposes
to tax the individual timber holder to
extinguish fires originating from log
ging operations as well as fires caus-
ed from lightning.
The proposed advisory board is a
very clever scheme to fool the people.
It should not take any extended argu-
ment in order to convince anyone as
to who will be the dominating in
duence on this advisory board. The
real and active member Of the board
will be the one who is selected by the
timber associations. Who controls
the five timber protective associations
of North Idaho? None other than the
big timber holding interests. This
member of the advisory board will be !
On the job, paid by the timber holding
interests He will always have be-
'ore him and before the board, the
of opinions and the de-
,ires OF the large timber holders
rhe private timber owners will not |
oe recognized and their views will |
never be presented to the advisory

Big Demand For Seed Testing.

University of Idaho, March "A

laboratory at the University of Idaho,

is in charge of testing. The labor
atOry is maintained for the testing of
seed to determine its purity for roth

extension division in encouraging
farmers to use pure seed has created
