Over The County

Juliaetta Record: A crew of ten
men under the supervision OF Frank
Geer are at work on the road one
mile this side OF Arrow. They are
making new road for about half
mile parallel with the railroad,
thus saving to the travelling public
the danger and Inconvenience OF
two railroad crossings. They are
also cutting out very rough piece
of road that is hard to maintain and
which, during high water is I'M
passable. Mr.. Geer handles the
work like an old timer, and the
highway commissioners are to be
congratulated on being able to Sc
cure the services of such an able
man. We believe from the manner
in which he is handling the work
that he will give to the road dis
trlct value received for every dollar
spent.
Genesee News: Jack Barnes. local
manager of the W. W. P. Co., re-
ports his company as busy repairing
the power lines running out CT
Spokane into the Palouse country,
which supplies electricity to Cen
esee. The juice is shut off now
most every night from midnight
until 5 O'Clock and a part of each
Sunday.
Most of the work being done is
the installation of new lnsulators.
The'company recently shipped into
Spokane three car loads OF new in
.sulators and the old insulators are
being replaced as rapidly as poss-
ible. Some idea of the enormous
cost of this work may be understood
from the fact that it costs $22.5O to
replace the three insulators on each
pole. This is at the rate of $3.50
each. But the W. W. P. Go. is max
ing every effort to give the users
of juice good service and is sparlng
neither time nor expense.
Troy News: A check on the desks
rebuilt by the Manual Training
classes shows 96 desks remodeled.
This means nearly $1,000 saved to
the district and almost 5000 earned
by the boys. Above the value in
dollars and cents is the value to
the school in better conditions for
work and the ability which the boys
have acquired in the use OF tools.
Nor should we ignore the helpful
ness of learning the fact that some
thing of use and beauty can be made
from what is old and thrown away.
Deary Press: When you ask a
fellow what he IS doing to while
away the winter, chances are ne
will say hauling pulp" The pulp
wood business has become pretty
important one here all of sudden.
White tir-whicn couldn't be given
away a few years ago-is being cut
into 16 foot lengths. hauled to town
and loaded on cars at $3.50 per
cord. 1t is shipped to Wildwood
near Spokane where the Inland EN-
pire Paper Co. manufactures 1t into
print paper.
Star-Mirror: There is much dis
cusslon in various localities about
the good accomplished by the county
agents. Some communities favor
them and some are opposed. Tht
usefulness or uselessnesS OF tht
county agent depends on two things
first the ability of the agent ant
second the support he is given b.
the farmers. In Latah county ther'
is no doubt about the county agen
being a good investment. That i
largely due to the fact that o. S
Fletcher, Latah county's agent, is
man of wonderful ability, an inces
SAINT and tireless worker. and tina
he has "made good" in every re
:spect. No one doubts that MI
Fletcher is a good investment TO
Latah county, and that the farmer
are getting better returns as a II
suit of his work. But Mr.. Fletche
could not accomplish this unless h
had the loyal support OF the bes
farmers of Latah county. In ever
district the best farmers, the me
who are advancing and want to az
vance, are supporting the farl
