BELIEVES TROOPS MAY SOON BE FED
 FROM LOCAL SOIL

Gauging his deductions from what he saw of agriculture in and around i Anchorage, Major-General Charles c. 1 Morton expressed the belief that in i five or more years 1t will be pos
 sible to feed not only army troops from the products of the soil, but all l Alaska as well. In his belief Major , General Morton is seconded by Brig adier-General George B. Duncan, of the army supply department.
 It was for the purpose of ascertain ! ing for himself agriculture possibili : t-es as a guide to future action tna' Maior-General Morton visited the Marsh ranch. After viewing the re- suits and loading himself up with m 1 formation as 10 costs and revenues, { the general announced that he had arrived to a definite conclusion. Among the things he observed was , the cost and difficulty of securing i farm implements and live stock. "One of the things most needed in ! connection with pioneering in agri- 1 culture," said General Morton, "is !, livestock and implements that should
 be easy of acquisition.
 "I shall tell everyone I meet of see ling one of the mos. inspiring exam . pies of p.oneer farming to be found, with t sturdy sons who had served | their country in the world war, la
 boring in the city after hours assist ling lu changing the wooded country into a fruitful area and producing crops the equal of any I have seen . elsewhere. TEese things should be . known in the United States and some steps taken 70 place settlers cn the land. Think of tne money that
 would rema.n in Alaska if it were eating from it's own soil. l can appre- ciate the difficulties, but they may re overcome by some comprehensive policy"
 Brigadier-GeneraI Duncan stated . that the matter of supply for Alaska
 had been solved, as far as the inter
 for was concerned, by the Alaska railway, which eliminates the old 1 system of getting supplies up the Yu- k0n river once q year. Like Major . General Morton, Brigadier-General Duncan is of the opinion that in course of few years orders VIII he placed in Alaska for supplies for the
 army in such volume that DHe sery-
 ice will be greatly s.mplifed "Why, "
 said rgadier-General Duncan. our boys at Matanuska raised sufficient
 spuds there to supply the detail
 troops stationed there, which is the i first evidence of the kind have en-
 countered."
 The generals expressed their party i endorsement of plan whereby sol
 diers were given leave to work on the l farms when labor was scarce at Mat auuska. "It, does the boys good to
 work occasionally" said the Gener- als, and they are. learning some
 thing about the basic industry of a
 nation"

LARGE AREA OF
 FOREST SOUGHT
 AT THOMAS BAY

Showing his confidence that he will be able to float the deal to put in 8 paper manufacturing plant at Thomas bay, Frank c. Doughery has requested the Forest Service Go allocate a timber unit in that vicinity including In 1t at least D. 400.uO0.00O feet board measure ol timber. The request was made pub lc today by District Logging Eu- giueer Frank B. Heiutzelman. of the local Forest Service district
 A reconnaissance of the country adjacent to the Thomas bay site will be made as soon as possible and the exterior boundaries of the unit asked for will probably be fixed this summer. It will be next spring be- fore an accurate cruise of the unit can be made and the unit advertised for sale, said MT. Hejutzleman. Mir. DOugherty indicated that he hoped to be able to close all preliminaries this fall and next winter and have his timber supply assured so that de yelopment work can be launched early next spring.
 Mr. HeIntzleman said that prob ably I5O,OOO acres of forest land would have to be included in the unit in order to give the applicant the amount of timber desired by him. To cruise this will require consider

GOING AFTER CATTLE
DISEASE IN EARNEST

Df. w. A. Sullivan, inspector for
the sbureau of animal industry, U.
S. department of agriculture, is in
consultation with the county farm bu-
reau and stock men generally of the
county with a view of testing live
stock for tuberculosis. The campaign
for a thorough inspection is to start
about the first of next month. The
movement has the endorsement of all
the large cattle interests. Forces to
carry on the work will be in the field
to test all herds free of charge, with
indemnity to be paid owners where
diseased cattle are destroyed.
With the great amount of tuberculo-
sis that has been found in some herds
in this county as has been shown by
test of some herds and by the post
norton inspection at packing houses
OF cattle form some range herds ship
ped from Lemhi county, there is no
reason why any cattle owner in Lemhi
county should avoid having his herd
testeA
The government and state veterina-
rians will have to test every herd in
the county on their drive to eradicate
the disease, as the leaving of one ami
NAL untested in the county may result
in all the work of testing being undone
as the INFESTED animal may prove to
be a spreader of the disease.
The only method of diagnosis is by
the tuberculin test, applied by COM
petent and experienced veterinarian.
Let every cattle owner in Lemhi
county get behind this campaign of
eradication of tuberculosis from the
herds of the county. Let US show every
cattle owner over the state of Idaho
and Montana that our herds have been
made free of tuberculosis and that

eral and state department of agri-
culture as n tuberculosis free area.

Quoted by the government and state

Every cattle owner in the county
should give this matter serious
thought as the industry is menaced by
the amount of tuberculosis at present
in the county, which will have tend

TEACHERS INSTITUTES
AND SCHOOL SUPERVISION

Idaho has four different classes of
supervisors for her public schools and.
naturally,Lemh county pays her pro
portion of taxes to maintain the same.
The commissioner of education; the
state superintendent; two teachers,
one appointed from the faculty of the
normal school at Lewiston, the other
from Albion, whose duty it is to super
wise the rural schools; and the county
superintendent constitute the corps.
Three years ago this fall, when the
last county institute was held in Sal
mon, Mr.. Bryan and Miss Redfield
were in attendance. Since that time
neither of these officers has visited the
county, neither have we received an
official visit from a rural supervisor.
1t is not for me to say whether we
are better or worse off for these
omissions. But if we don't need the
presence of these people, why help pay
their salary?
SO great is the eXertion of travel
ing to this remote county, even with
al expenses paid, that the expedient of
Isummoning our county superintendent
to meet these officers at some out
side point, AT OUR EXPENSE, has
been adopted.
Another act which bears much more
heavily and unjustly on our county
is the practice of compelling the
teachers at their own expense to at
tend an institute held in some large
town on the railroad.
a prOI1n nf taachorc ,ybo ,.,o+ - IL:
cuss the matter, asserted that the trip
could not be made for less than $45.
In many instances this amount is al
most twice the salary of the teacher
for the week while institute is in ses-
sion- The travelling expenses from our
|county seat are $25 at the very least.
The county has 49 teachers. 1t
doesn't require a mathematician to
see that this means over S12O0 for
travelling expenses alone and over
$4,000 for total expenses, this over
against few dollars to be paid for
travelling by teachers situated on the
railroad and having longer terms and
higher salaries.
This is not party affair but a mat
ter of square deal to the counties
whose resources are being taken to
augment the wealth of other counties
more fortunately situated.
The teachers are asking the voters
of the county to help elect men who
will try to right this wrong. They are
not asking for sympathy but for just
Ice. Let us return to our former Gus
tom of holding county Institutes and
let US hold them at a time that will
rot break into the school work.

SILVERTON PROSPECTS
LOOK GOOD TO OWNERS

The newly named SiIverton mining
district comes in for discussion where
ever two or three persons are gather
ed together. The formation is distinc-
lively favorable for depth values and
large production. A few days ago the
same ledge, so rich in silver and lead
and which was discovered high up on
top of the hill, was found down to-
ward the bed of Jesse creek, even at
the very foot of the mountain. In this
revelation there is probably immense
values to be found stretching for three
or four miles.
Others besides the numerous origin
al discoverers and locators of the
ledge have become interested in the
possibilities of the development and
have invested as partners with the
locators. j. II. Halstead became in
trested last week with Bert Sinners
and Harry. Carlin in two of these
claims. Old miners say that the in
dieations point strongly to a great
future of the Silverton district.

COUNTY BOARD TRIES
TO BUY A POOR FARM

Most of the sessions of the coun-
ty commissioners have been devoted
to a consideration of the PROPOSE
tion of acquiring suitable loca-
ton, with ample grounds for a poor
farm, with the plan in view also at
the same place to establish fair
ground. Four offers of land were
made-Shoup estate, F. A. Preston,
L. A. Myers and the G. and P. rail
road. The idea seems to be eminently
appropriate at this time to acquire
a poorifarm. Most of the other farmers
and producers of wealth are so hard
pressed and borne down by taxes that
.Over the Hill to the Poorhouse" is a
favorite recitation with them. So the
congregation will please rise and "sing
the thing" as Harry Lauder would
say, $50 we can all understand it"
The bids were not given cut, it be-
ing determined to look further over
the several tracts before deciding up
on the location. The board was some
what at sea also as to their legal
right to make such an expenditure at
this time when it cannot be included
in the annual levy. At this point they
called for a written opinion from the
county attorneys office covering the
matter under consideration.

impression as an earnest and Jealous
preacher Of the gospel. Skillfully and
beautifully he drew four pictures of

ed face, a bruised face, a face bowed
IN prayer and a set face, bringing
out the qualities Of the Christ's heart
life as individual necessities in the
building Of character.

VEL CASE MUST
NOW BE DROPPED
Unused Ballots. Desired to Supply
Evidence, Are Destroyed, Ac-

1t became known about the court
house on Monday that the unused ball
lots in the Viel-Summers election con-
test had been destroyed. Judge Padg-
ham, counsel of record for Viel. was
looking up the evidence in the case
with view of proceeding with the
retrial, as ordered by the Supreme
court, if that course should be de-
termined upon, when he found this
part of the evidence missing. This of
course makes it impossible to proceed
with the case any further and it must
be dropped from the court calendar.

still in existence they would throw
light on the case as affording a way

charged.
There has been no action over the
situation as counsel has discovered it.
Meanwhile the blind goddess who has
been standing for many years high up
on the caves of the courthouse, has
opened wide her eyes and is preparing
to descend to earth and take hand
in the coming election, for she feels
thatsthe laws delays have gone about
far enough if she is to retain any of
her honored respectability and decency

no doubt about it; Miss Justitia is
mad clean through, and she may take

M. ID. Merritt coming on the first thing
Monday. There were counts alleg-

even in town the little miscreants are

In my opinion the destruction of an
other pest. the coyotes, has caused this
increase in the mouse crop. Coyotes
it is known, fairly delight in eating
mice, liking them better even than
lamb chops. Right here the eternal
