MONTANA FIRE FIGHTING COST
saaa,o4s, BUT SAWED MILLIONS

Last year the national forest scr.
vice of district No. 1. which includes
all Of Montana and northern Idaho.
spent $222,043.42 fighting fires. The
total damage caused to national for
est lands in the district amounted to
$s7,75s, according to the annual re-
port from the district forester's Of
flee at Missoula.
Foresters say that millions Of dol
lars worth of timber was saved by
concentrated fire fighting BY the for
est service during the dry season. It
isn't the amount of timber actually
destroyed, but the amount that might
have been II the fires had not been
checked in valuable timber tracts
that must be considered in balancing
the cost involved in fire fighting with
the timber destroyed, foresters say.
There were 1886 fires reported In
the district for 1921, covering On
area Of 22,922 acres. OF these 40
are attributed by the f0resters to
lightning, 321 to campers and 19l to
railroads. Others are attributed to
incendiarism, brush burning. lumber
ing and 80 to unknown sources.
The expenditure for the suppress
sion of fires in the whole district was
smaller last year than for several
years previous and the fires extended
over smaller area, foresters say.
Fires on private lands in the national
forests extended over q territory of
10,35S acres, and destroyed timber
estimated at $20,69S, according to
the report.

Good English Week
Is Observed by
Blackfoot Schools

Last week was observed by the
schools of Blackfoot and all over the
United States as good English week.
On Monday morning posters were
brought to the high school by all
English students and were distri-
buted all over the city where people
could see them and join with the
pupils in drive for good English.
During the week before, the
English students were required to
write short plays, songs and
scenarios promoting good English
and the best of the lot were chosen
to be put on in chapel Friday morn
ing. Two plays and scenario were
staged by the students, the first one
being written by Misses Josephine
Hickenlooper and elizabeth Cherry.
In the play an English college
graduate was injured because she
misunderstood warning expressed
in slang terms. The second play
was written by Misses Ava Lennon,
Gladys Robins and Flora Turner and
showed that good English is a big
factor in the success of girl, both
socially and in business. The
scenario, read by Miss Nora Jones
and written by Miss Josephine Hick-
enlooper, showed the trials which
Every Student meets with in his
fight to win Miss Better English. He
first meets Bad English, then Poor
English, Average English, Coco
English and then Better English
After his experience with the Other
people he Immediately falls in love
with her and they are married.
The songs were sung by Englisl
students and were "Give a Cheer fol
English" written by Miss BLANCHE
Lennett, parody to the higi
school song by Miss Lorraine Seege
and "The End of Perfect Week,
by John Hale. Readings were givel
by Paul Woodruff and Miss Jose
phine HickenlOoper and announce
ments for the program were mad
by Miss Ruth Tate.
Good English week is observed
every year now in the schools OF tn
United States and it's influence will
soon be felt by the people by the us
of fewer incorrect words and SLAM
terms.

FIGHT FOR FAIR
FREIGHT RATES
Senator Gooding Pre-
pairing for Campaign
in Congress

A conference was held at Idaho
Falls last Thursday to organize a
working force to secure fairer
freight rates for the intermountain
country. The speakers indicated
that the rates discriminate severely
against this part of the world, and
that an organized fight will be re-
quired to force adjustment of the
rates.
Senator Gooding was the princi-
pal speaker, and he went into an
analysis of the whole situation.
showing that goods can be shipped
from Portland, Ore, to Boston
cheaper by nearly half, than the
same goods can be shipped from
Idaho points. It is the old custom
of charging what the traffic will
bear or basing the railroad rates on
what it can be done for by water
the rate from Idaho being based on
what we can ship for via Portland
Ore, and the Panama Canal tc
Boston, or the Portland rate being
based on the most direct water rate
and the rate from Pocatello tt
Boston is higher than the rate from
Weiser to Boston.
Senator Gooding has been fighting
for better freight rates for many
years, and is now employing an ex
pert rate man to devote all his time
to gathering information for cam
paign in the United States senate OF
the question. What Senator Hey
burn did in the senate to arouse th'
nation to action on the pure foot
bill, Senator Gooding is attempting
| to do in the mater of railroad rates

ing to represent this community.

Farmers Receive
Pay for Sugar Beets

BY Wednesdays mail the Utah
Idaho Sugar company conveyed
checks for about 100000 to the
growers of sugar beets in this dis
trict, and farmers were happy in the
possession of real money or paper
that called for no discounts.
Accompanying the checks were
letters saying that the company had
arranged sale Of 165,670 bags OF
sugar at 500, which was an In
crease Of $1.O5 bag over last years

the crop bureau indicates that the
average potato yield this year is
Ill sacks per acre.
