rolled themselves as first year high

tai in that department Of 95, which
Is considerably greater than last year
and possibly greater than ever en-
rolled before in the history of the
school. There were 30S pupils on
hand to enter the grades, which is
about the enrolment last year, but
the grades will grow considerably
without a doubt and all departments
promise to be full.

the first year high school class into

gratifying way for teachers and par

SHEEP BUSINESS NOT

BOISE, Sept. 2-H. c. Wood of
Spencer, Idaho, at the head Of the
Wood Livestock company, probably
the largest livestock company in the
west operating big ranches and herds
of sheep cattle and horses in Idaho
and Montana, is here and when asked
about the livestock business replied,
1T is rotten" but with the qualifying
clause that the sheep and cattle busi-
ness is bound to come back into its
own.
Mr.. Wood states that he feels that
the sheep man is entitled to little
sympathy as within the last few
ysare the flockmasters have operated
their business from "A swivel chair
behind desk instead of being out on
the range with their stock as did tho
men, pioneers Of the industry, who
built it up.
"More personal attention to busi-
ness, cutting down of expenses and
hanging on" are what is needed to
bring the industry back, Mr.. Wood
states. ~
"People have got to eat meat again
and have got to buy clothes again
some time and If the stockmen will
hang on and can manage to get some
thing to eat themselves in the mean
time, they are to be all right"

Big Barn AIlllD'Sao N
DESTROYED BY FIRE
SHOUP RANCH SUFFERS HEAVY
LOSS IN MORNING BLAZE, MAY
BE $4,000.


The fine stone and frame barn on
the home ranch of the Shoup estate,
together with a new silo close by,
was destroyed by fire at an early
hour yesterday morning, entailing a
loss of perhaps $4,000. The barn
was approximately 100x60 feet in
dimensions with lofthy pitch. In the
upper story were stored several
thousand bushels of grain and va
riety of farming and other machin-
cry. All the harness of the pla ce
was kept in the barn and it too was
lost. !.
Adjoining or nearby silo re-
Gently constructed at a cost of 81 900

Nobody will ever know just what
started the fire. Mrs. George
blaze which about half past o'clock
Shoup was the first to discover the
had enveloped the structure. She
had gone out to look after the light
ing plant of the ranch, which had
begun to fail. 1t might have been
that some smoker thoughtlessly
dropped his cigarette the night be-
fore near the barn to cause the ruin
or the fire might have had some 9th
er origin. Insurance only to the
amount of $500 was carried on the
property destroyed.
At the ranch home at the time
were its superintendent, George +.
