Making Wool Comforts

The fact that much wool has prov
ed unstable except at a loss has
caused many farm women to con-
slider the home utilization of some
of the wool on hand. A few months
ago a home demonstration agent
from the United States Department
OF Agriculture and the State agri-
cultural college gave a demonstra-
tion on the washing and carding Of
wool for comforts at club meeting
IN SiIverdaIe community, Kitsap
County, Wash. AS a result women
all over the country have become
interested in making comforts. and
it seems as it there would be
enough made to supply an entire
future generation. Flour and sugar
sacks have been found excellent for
interlinIng.

Regarding Freight Rates

A. E. Wilcox, local agent for
the N p, makes a reply to the
article clipped from Kansas paper
and published IN last weeks Gaz-
cite, as follows:
81 note in your issue of Novern-
ber II, an article regarding high
freight rates paid by O. Hover of
Cowly, Wyoming, on carload ::of
prunes from Idaho, which is highly
misleading and unfair to the rail-
way companies and consequently
anyone working for them. Below
will give you the information con-
cerning rates on prunes from Idaho
tc CowIy, Wyoming:
The minimum weight on carloads
of fresh fruit including prunes is
$4,000 pounds or 1900 boxes of the
size mentioned, the rate $l.75a per
hundred when would make the
freight charges including war tax
$469.99 approximately 36 cents per
box this leaves Ga cents of the dollar
freight charges claimed unaccouLt-
ed tor.
The article mentioned is about
on par with the claim of the
Chicago wholesale produce dealers
that are claiming that reduction
on produce from Texas to Chicago
should be granted, when they are
paying about sc dollars per ton
for Spinach delivered at Chicago,
(treight included) and same selling
for $500 per ton, onions $40 per ton
and selling for $500.
Upon investigation you will find
great many are great Eoutcrles for
reductions in order to cover up their
own dealings. Yours truly,
A.. E. Wilcox"

Disastrous Hunting Trip

After an exciting months hunt
ing trip during which they once
went from Sunday morning until
the next Friday noon with but one
meal and also tipping over on raft
in the Clearwater, incidentally los
ing four elk hides and one bear
hide, E. e. Hall and William Rus
sell of Moscow and Percy Armstrong
and Fred Jones of LinnviIle have
returned to civilization.
The party went from Moscow to
the north fork of the Clearwater
by way of the Oxford ranger station
and used pack horses from there to
the Moscow bar Oh the north fork.
During their 10 days IN camp they
bagged three elk and one mountain
goat.
Taking their trophies, with bear
hide and another elk hide they were
to bring out for another party, the
four built a raft 40 feet long and
seven logs wide and started on an IS
mile trip down the riversto Ahsahka,
tour miles below Orotino. When
about 1D miles below camp, after
shooting rapids. they ran afouI
rock which tipped their raft over in
water from Is to ~ feet deep. All
members of the party stuck to the
raft which was held against the rock
by the current. Russell swan to
shore with rope from the raft and
hanging to it, the other members
made the shore one at time.
Their guns and packs Containing
their clothing were saved, also the
goat hide and head which were in
Halls pack. The elk skins and bear
hide and all other baggage was lost
in the stream.
A day and half was spent trying
TO put the raft IN shape for the
balance of the trip and, finding this
Impossible, they walked down the
river to the mouth of Isabel creek.
a distance of 6 miles. where they
made another raft, this one 80 feet
long and 6 logs wide. The logs
were fastened together With birch
binders and cherry withes. The
balance of the journey was made
without mishap. From the time
the raft tipped over, on Sunday
morning, until they came out FIJI
day, they had but one meal.
Last year Hall and Jones, with
two other men, made the same trip
without difficulty. This is not the
first time the former has had such
an experience. Two years ago he
was crossing the Salmon river below
Dixie with William Sorrow and
Fred Silgy when a log overturned
their boat, and. the latter were
drowned.

Raising Seed for Market

Herman Wilson of the firm OF
Washburn & Wilson Seed Company
and MIR. Cunnard. seed specialist Of
the company. were In this section
the first of the week looking over
some of the seed corn and beans
raised by Z. L. Whistler of Cedar
Creek ridge. Mr.. Whistler rals-
ed the seed under contract with the
hrm.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Cunnard stat
ed that both the corn and beans are
of exceptionally fine quality, welf
matured and passed nigh germin-
alton test. They are we'll pleased
with the seed and are enthusiastic
over the possibilities IN the Potlatch
OF raising seed crops. On account of
the long growing season and the
usual dry period in the fall tor
maturing seed. they believe this Sec
tion is most favorabIy adapted for
raising many marketable varieties.
This year Mr.. Whistler raised IL
acres of Golden Bantam sweet corn,
about the same acreage OF Burpee's
Stringless beans and 80 acres of
RustIer's White Dent field corn.
The corn is being hand selected and
will probably total carload of first
class seed. This will be shipped to
Moscow where the company has
machine which cllpps off the tips
and butts of the ears, leaving only
the best of the corn on the cob,
which is then put throuh the shelter
and then over the grader. after
which 1t is placed IN the dryer to
take out all moisture so 1t will keep
perfectly through the winter
months. The bench farms in Pot
latch canyon are particularly we'll
adapted for raising seed corn as the
corn natures early and is almost
never injured by frost. There is
seldom a time here in the spring
when there is enough seed corn to
supply local demands, and with an
outside market such as is furnished
by the seed company at Moscow, 1t
might be made most profitable
crop.

Over The County

Deary Press: The highway graded
up and opened for travel that por-
tion of the Moscow-Bovill state
highway lying between Main street
in Deary, and the end of the Avon
road at the corner OF the Swanson
and Smith farms. The Improvement
has won the board plaudits from the
people of both town and country.
The road intersects Second avenue
near Line street, and that portion
of 1t between Second avenue and the

hereafter known as Highway ave-
nue.. The road makes Second avenue

pretty thoroughfare of Second ave-
nue., which is now open for practic-
ally It's whole length. There are a
number of handsome building sites
along the west end OF it.
Troy News: Farmers in this dis
trict are elated over the fine wealth
er that has followed the heavy rains
of last week, as it has permitted
pushing the farm work until the
fall blowing and seeding are almost

coming up strong and will have a
fine root for the winter. 1t is a gen.
eraI prediction that the crop next
year will be another Of the bumper

Highway Commissioners Met

\ The Regular monthly meeting of
the kenrdicK Highway district took
place last Saturday. Important
business was transacted IN addition
to the regular routine matter of al
lowing bills. etc. In accordance
with the general tendency of the
times, it was thought best to reduce
the scale of wages to be paid during
the ensuing year. Common labor
30 cents an hour; tractor and grader
men 55 cents an hour; road overseers
and rock men, 40 cents an hour;
team. $3.50 a day. While these
wages are considerably lower than
those paid heretofore, the commits
sioners have had many opportunities
this fall to get men for even less
than the above scale, on account uf
the scarcity of employment, but did
not believe it was fair to them to
make the scale any lower.
Plans for future road work were
discussed and it was generally
agreed that the first permanent
road work should be done on the
strip of road between the town
limits and the bridge at the mouth
of Wandcheer gulch. This road has
been neglected for years and as 1T is
the most used strip in the entire
highway district, the commissioners
believe it no more than right that it
be built first.
The commissioners decided to get
a surveyor Immediately and have a
grade established, after which the
work of filling will be started. 1t
was thought best to have the filing
done by contract.
&. F. Walker, member OF the
board Of commissioners, stated this
week that as soon as the money was
available the road would be COM
pleted, which would be some time
the latter part of the winter. The
grading and filing will be largely
done whenever the weather permits
this winter and the crushed rock
put on later in the winter.
The commissioners planned to COM
plete this strip of road last spring
but the nigh water played such
havoc with the roads of the distric,
that it took all of the available
money to repair the damage done
MIR. Walker stated that the cost tr
the district on account of the high
water was approximately $1,000
This amount would have more thar
completed the mile or more of roaC
last spring.
With the tractor, grader, dunn
wagons and rock crusher that ar,
now owned by the district, plans arr
being outlined to do quite exten
sive road work during the coming
: year. The commissioners are yer!
) optimistic concerning the building
of the four miles of road between
, Kendrlck and Juliaetta. They hav'
S plans on foot. which, if materali il
t ed, will see the completion of thi:
t road sooner than most of US woul'
: believe possible.
