Couldn't Collect Insurance

But a small per cent of those who
had crops damaged last week by the
hail, will collect hail insurance.
A clause IN hail insurance policies
states that the policy is in force
only SO long as the crop is standing
AS soon as it has been cut insurance
ceases to be in force. Nearly al of
the growers on Potlatch ridge had
cut their grain and beans and Sc
could not collect insurance. Dave
Schoeffier near Cameron perhaps
camc out as we'll as most as his
beans were standing in the field anC
he collected insurance on basis OF
85 per cent damage, or $3.50 pei
acre.

Hail Played Havoc

1t is reported that a child of Ted
Roberts on the lower point of Pot
latch ridge almost lost his life in the
hail storm last week. He was caught
out in the storm and before he could
reach shelter he was badly bruised
by the hail stones. A horse belonging
to Melvin Miller became crazed with
fright by the pelting hail stones and
plunged into a fence. A stake pen
etrated his heart and killed him in
stantly. Raleigh Albright had to get
new roofing for his buildings He
also lost 12 acres of melons. The
prune crop in the hail area was prac'
tically a total loss. Potlatch ridge
and Potlatch canyon were hit hardest
and suffered most damage.

Mcconnell, Maud Compton, Wilson
Rogers, Alvira Attchison. Alberta
Walker, Gertrude Taylor. Anna Hoo
bier and Mrs. Leo Raaberg.

No Labor Shortage

Star-Mirror: With the release OF
the harvest hands from the thresh-
ing crews over the country the lab
or shortage that has for a time re-
stricted operation in other fields of
endeavor locally has been consider
ably eased up, say men IN position
to know the situation.
A few weeks ago It was next to
Impossible to get men tor any work
other than that Of harvesting and
they were not readily available IN
that field. As result the city con-
structlon on streets and sidewalks
and other works were halted tenn
porarlIy.
However, since the fall wheat OF
the outlying districts is virtually
all in the stack steady stream of
laborers has been pouring into the
city until now the supply of work
ers is adequate to care for the needs.
Another condition that made the
labor needed hard to get was occa-
sioned in connection with the oper-
alton of railroads with non-unlon
help. The railroads offered workers
attractive opportunities with hous-
ing accommodations. This removed
from the district considerable mum.
bers of men who would otherwise
have been available tor domestic
labor.
However, only during the harvest
season did this situation especially
affect the local industries wher
there was large demand Tor labor
ers on the farm as well as IN Other
industries. With the letup IN tht
harvest fields the shortage has vlr
tually disappeared.

Returns From New York

Mr.. Joseph H. Johnston arrived
in kendrIck Tuesday from New
York, to spend few weeks visiting
his home. Mr.. Johnston graduated
in June from Georgetown Univer-
slty Law College, at Washington.
D. c., and plans to return to New
York City, by way of Portland and
Los Angeles. California, after
spending a vacation with his par
ents, MIR. and Mrs. j. H. Johnston
of Lenore.
He reports splendid crop is be-
ing harvested IN the Central and

best crop of wheat IN tour years.
Eastern Montana also seems to have

Road Building Experience

Oregon has expended over $50,000,-
900 in the past five years in building
first units of one of the finest high
way systems in the United States.
1t has profited by the experience of
many other states from the stand
point of laying pavement that re-
'quires a minimum of maintenance
cost.
1t has been able to profit by the
experience of other states which have
laid many hundreds of miles of rigid
base pavement having no shock alb
sorbing qualities and the surface Of
which has not been protected by a
coating of some shock absorbing
substance.
The burden of maintaining perma-
nent highways is emphasized by the
proposal of the Highway Commission
Of California to raise an additional
S65,OOO,OOO for maintenance" of the
roads throughout the state.
California was a pioneer in road
building and constructed hundreds
of miles of concrete highways which
in the experimental days of road
building seemed indestructible.
The incessant jar of modern traffic,
however, on the unyielding concrete
road surface can eventually. have but
one result, namely, crystallization of
the concrete with it's subsequent dis
integration.
Concrete is like cast iron. 1t will
stand for an indefinite period when
it is not subjected to the shock OF
repeated impact. To save it's concrete
base road, California is finding it nee.
essary to surface it with top dress
ing of bituminous character and thus
relieve the concrete base from the di,
rect blows of traffic impact
With this experience to go by, Ore
gon has confined it's road construc
tion almost entirely to pavements O.
asphaltic concrete character with 6
result that it seems to have minim
lied it's maintenance cost.
The taxpayers are deeply interested
in this question for in the long ruI
they must foot the bill which a per
manent highway system involves.

Busy Season in Woods

This is going to be busy winter
in the woods. Buster than any winter
for several years.
The improved lumber market is
calling for increased production. The
lumber companies must cut more
trees and make more lumber. This
calls for increased activity and the
maximum of production in the for
ests.
To meet the demand and keep the
big mill humming the Potlatch Lum-
Der Company is establishing new
camps and augmenting its forces in
the old ones. Within month there
should be an army of men-500 or
more-working in the adjacent for
ests.
Camp has wound up it's work
near Deary and is about to be moved
to Vassar meadows. directly across
the mountain from Deary. This camp
will log the timber from the north
slope of Potato Hill. A spur reaches
into that section from Helmer and
additional track is being laid with
the steel that is being taken from the
old camp
Camp 6, at Helmer, and Camps 10
and II, further up the meadow, are
buster than ever and Camp IA, near
Avon, will be speeded up as soon as
| logging horses can be purchased.
Old Camp at Bovill is working ex-
clusively on white pine. Most of the
logging at Princeton is being done by
contract.
Dozens of our young men are now
working in the camps In passing we
might state that the camps are kept
clean and sanitary, have comfortable
beds and an abundance of wholesome
we'll cooked food. The boys say living
at the camps is like boarding at the
best hotels.-Deary Press.

HOW BOOKS ARE DlSINFECTED
Method Employed in France ls Said to
Be tho Most Successful Yet
Devised.

The danger of contagion from books
that have been in the hands Of per-
sons suffering from various diseases
has led to the invention Of methods of
disinfecting, of which none appears to
be more effective than that devised
by q member Of the municipal council
Of Paris.
This process consists of two fea-
lures. In the first place, the books
ore placed In "beater," where a
strong current Of air opens every leaf,
and an aspirator sucks out the dust
and deposits it in aseptic water. Then
they are suspended In a disinfector,
the covers being bent back and held
by clips, so that the leaves are widely
opened, and placed over a heater.
which for long time subjects them
to temperature Of 1877 degrees Fab.
renheit. The paper is not damaged.
and the efficiency Of the process Is
said to be well demonstrated.
