FORMER RESIDENT SAYS
Potato GROWERS WEALTHY

Henry Roberts, former resident of
the American Ridge, and now of
Nampa, was the guest of Deputy
Sheriff Lou Peterson at the court
house Saturday Both have been near
neighbors when he farmed in that
section of Latah county He said the
potato growers in the Nampa sections
had made up for the financial depres-
sion of last year. Citing the fact
that potatoes and fruit had been cash
crops this season and that five mil
lions had been received by the grow
ers for their fruit.
AS a consequence things were
booming Farmers had cut four
crops of alfalfa on the irrigated,
sandy loan soils. Some Of the crops
had brought returns of $1,000 per
acre. in his own case he had made
$500 per acre on potatoes. Corn had
grown 13 feet high, he added, and
the average are expected to go as high
as 80 bushels to the acre. Quite a
number had gone 110 bushels owing
to the fine irrigation system and
and methods of cultivation.
Land is selling he said in conclu
sion in the Nampa and Boise valley
regions at from 5000 to $500 per
acre.

nounced before leaving the city yes

SOLDIERS GIVEN NEWS
OF APPROPRIATION
STATE ORGANIZATION MEM
BERS TOLD BY SECRETARY
THINGS ARE SHAPING.

Members of the veterans welfare
commission are far behind with the
exenditures of the appropriation of
one hundred thousand dollars made
by the 1921 session of the legislature
for relief among destitute and dis
abled World war veterans in Idaho,
according to records on file in the
office of the secretary of the COM
mission, says the Statesman
Including the meeting held Tues
day, some 200 applicants have come
before the commission for financial
aid from the state. Of these, said
Lester F. Albert, secretary, 95 per
cent have been acted upon favorably.
During the months the commission
has been in existence approximately
$4,000 has been given to veterans
in Idaho.
Most of the applicants come from
the United States public health hos
pital at the barracks but, said Mr..
Albert, "it must be remembered that
the hospital has patients from all
parts of the state and in that way the
commission gives aid to distant
points.
Mr.. Albert does not think that the
commission is getting the scheduled
cases in the state that are deserving
of aid but is of the opinion that as
soon as the correct information about
the work of the commission is cir
culated freely better results will be
obtainable
s'Many former service men," he
said, "have the idea that the money
available under the law is something
on the order of state bonus to which
they are entitled whether they are in
need of it or not. This of course is
not true. The money is given only
to veterans who are destitute and dis
abled and in need of aid for them
selves or their dependents"
Frequent appearances before the
board of the same APPLICANT for aid
are not unusual, according to a mem
Der of the commission, who said that
some of the former service men come
in and ask for $5 or $40 for laundry,
spending money, tobacco and other
small expenses.

GENESEE EDITOR FOR
ROAD SUBSCRIPTIONS
FOR TEMPORARY ROAD SHOWS
WILLINGNESS TO HELP-A
WORK FOR WINTER.

Publisher P. B. McCreary of the
Genesee News, enthused over the
declaration made by Governor D. w.
Davis that an all-Idaho route should
be built within the state, has the
following to say in yesterdays edi-
ton of his newspaper in regard to
the present road:
There is still much agitation go
ing on for an "All-Idaho" road from
Genesee to Lewiston which will eli
inmate the half-mile section over in
Washington.
"This is as it should be. If the
road is built it should be built with
in the state. Washington has no in
terest in this small piece of road and
it is hardly probable that they will
ever build it regardless Of the fact
that repeated promises to do so have
been made. An all-Idaho road would
guarantee great deal more travel
over the north and south road
through Genesee, Moscow and on to
the north, thence to Spokane. 1t
would give the tourist much finer
scenery and would save them several
miles travel consequently much time
and gas.
1.-The road, as proposed, can very
easily be built, and while it would
cost few dollars more, the fact that
the road is to be built in Idaho makes
it worth the price especially since
the Washington people do not seem
to care whether the Idaho travellers
come their way or not.
Lets all boost for an "All-Idaho"
road-north and southland thereby
allow Idaho travellers to travel in
state that really appreciates them and
wants them Let's goi
tSince the above was put in tyre
word has been received TO the effect
that they were ready to begin work
on putting the missing link in a
passable condition for this winter by
putting some 500 yards of rock on it
and that Genesee and Rimrock dis
tricts are asked to raise $400 as their
share of the expense.
sThere should be at least 80 men in
this district who are enough interest
ed in having a passable road to
Lewiston to give $40 each; or, if not,
there should be 60 men who will give
SIS each, either of which will make it
easy to get.
All who are willing to help see that
your name gets in this column.

noon, caught in electric wires carry
Ii ing 10000 voltage, reversed and land
ed at the bottom of the hill, seriously
injuring Ernest Erb, passenger, and
completely wrecking the plane.
when spectators arrived at the
scene it was not thought that Lieut.
Matthews was injured but a little
later he began talking in an irrational
manner and seemed quite ILL., There
| is slight confusion on his forehead
and it is thought that the high power
wire may have brushed his head Late
tonight his mind seems to be wander
ing and his condition is thought to be
serious.
Lieut.. Matthews, with Ernest Erb
of Peck as passenger, was just start
ing to make his first flight of the
day when something went wrong with
the plane after it had started. It did
not raise off the ground but rushed
through fence at the brow Of the

and it continued on it's mad rush,
landing on it's nose just inside of the
stockyards
ernest Erb was badly cut around
the face but had no broken bones.
He was rushed to DR.. Bryan's office
where his wounds were dressed
"Lieut. Matthews climbed out of the
wreckage and seemed to be all right

feared that his mind is affected.
