Of dislocation of the hip; had the
trouble repaired by surgical oeration,
and now the little lassie is on her way
back to normal, when life of misery
had been her only prospect. And this
| is only one of the dozens of corrections
in our child life that would doubtless
never have been made without the
county health service. And this is not
taking into account the wide benefit
the service has rendered our adult life.
Certainly Lewis county does not be-
grudge the small pittance it gives for
this far reaching service.
Never, perhaps, in this history
the county (this richest of all agri-
cultural districts) was it more in need
of Moses to lead it out of the bull
rushes of the one-crop system. Never
more than at this time, when every
progressive farmer in the county is
casting about for something for his
acres to do besides produce wheat, did
the demand stand out stronger for an
agent to bring to us the advantages of
the research work of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington and the
Extension Department of our State
University. The continuation and ex-
pansion of the seed potatoe projects
started by our last county agent, Mr..
Behnke, would alone pay well for the
continuance of this office. 1t has been
proven by all manner of figures that
the office many times over paid for
itself in increased beneficial results to
the farmers.
These two commissioners have taken
this action, they say, because less than
250 people of the 5000 in our county
have asked them to do so. What other
promptings there were behind the act
may come to light as it is further dis
cussed. But is it rights it fair to

TIME FOR CONCLUSIVE ACTION
ON NEW BANK.

Members Of the Depositor 3 Com
peared before the public meeting held
by the Farmers Union at the Frater
nal Temple yesterday and presented
some of the facts relating to the or
ganization of the new bank and solicit
ed subscriptions to stock.
The committee met with some sue
cess in their undertaking but the re-
sponse was not such as the conditions
justify and demand.
There are few people in the commun-
ity who realize the gravity of the sit
uation. If the. people generally could
visualize what the consequences will be
if this bank is liquidated by the state,
they would find them appalling.
A tree growing in the forest thrusts
its roots far out into the soil to draw
sustenance for the main body, and to
bind it firmly to the earth so that 1T
can withstand the storms which beat
against it. But the gophers work about
the roots and loosen the soil and the
worms bore through the wood and
weaken the fibre, until sudden gust
of wind uproots the giant and sends
it crashing to earth, bringing with it
the lesser trees which have surrounded
it and the shrubbery which has depend
ed upon it for support; the roots rend
and tear the soil for yards about leav-
ing a hideous wound in Mother Earth
which only nature and tine can heal
So it is with an institution of this
character It's roots have penetrated to
every party Of the business soil of the
community. Many lesser institutions
have leaned upon it for support. Thru
its various ramifications it has reach
ed into unsuspected places far remov-
ed from the immediate field. In its
fall it viii bring down others now ap-
parently resting in perfect security
To uproot this bank suddenly by the
process of liquidation will mean the
tearing asunder of vital elements of
the community, leaving wound that
it will take long, weary years to heal.
1t is probable that the legal fees and
court costs involved in the collection
of the money due the defunct bank
will amount to more than the entire
capital and surplus of the new bank.
To put the matter in nutshell, we
must provide $4,000, within one year
with the assistanct of about $4,000
which will be paid to depositors, or we
must provide $25O,OOO within the
year, and realize nothing on deposits
in that time.
The old bank owns about $250,000
worth of paper, most of which is held
by other banks as collateral to bills
payable. If a receiver is appointed
and the bank liquidated this paper will
be collected at once. No extension of
time or renewals can be granted. Prac-
tically all of this paper is past due.
If the community cannot raise $4,000
under the pan submitted, how will it
face a debt Of $25O,0Oo Immediately

TWO MORE IN HEREFORD GAME.
w. F. Cargill and Robert Wright Buy
Fine Cattle From Miller Herd

w. F. Cargill, in buying this week
of Curtis j. Miller ten head of regis
tered Hereford cows, is pioneering a
move which must be followed by 9TH
ers to get the most out of farming, in
helping to keep up the fertility of the
soil, and in eliminating the one-crop
and the one-pay-day system.
In conversation with Mr.. Cargill,
he stated that the experience of the
past two years has fully convinced him
that straight wheat farming cannot be
made success here, and in the future
he will try with the wheat game reg
istered horses, cattle and hogs. He
bought at the Lewis County Fair and
Stock Show several of the best pure
blood Duroc Jersey gifts shown, and at
the Western Royal Show at Spokane he
bought more of the same breed, and he
now stands in class by himself-the
only exclusive pure blood breeder of
horses, cattle and swine in Lewis coun-
ty.

by many others with great interest, and
there is little question about the sue
cess of the enterprise this is the
most profitable side-line any prairie
farmer can take on. The middle wes-
tern farmer has long since learned by
experience that his biggest asset is his
live stock.
As to the cattle purchased from Mr..
Miller-there is no better foundation
herd to build up from in the North
west than the animals bought by Mr..
Cargill, many of them having been win
ners in the big shows of the west.
Robert B. Wright, among the young
er class of Nezpercers, has always been
acknowledged speed-ling not only in
basket ball, but also with the Super
Six he has showered the road dust on
many a poor Dodge owner as well as
on owners of cars of other makes that
cost more money. In other words, Bob
is and always has been inclined to lead
the bunch. Since he became married
man many have remarked, what a
change in the boyl He has changed
also to real live stock breeder, having
purchased four registered Hereford
cows from @. J. Miller as foundation
for what he says will terminate in the
show herd of the Northwest before he
quits the game. These cows were pick
ed by the new owner from the Miller
herd, and G. J. says he don t under
stand how or where Bob learned stock
judging, but those he took were GER
tainly show animals all through. We
predict that he will show the same
spirit as leader in the cattle game
that he has in the past as an athlete.
Here s luck to you, boy.

CAUGHT BURGLARIZING KAMIAE
STORE, TRIO GET TO Is
YEARS.

Harry, Lewis and James Purcell,
aged "a, % and 21 years, respectively,
on Saturday plead guilty before Dis
trict Judge Scales in Lewiston to the
charge of burglarizing the Union Store
in Kamiah on the night of Jan. 5, and
each was sentenced to a term in the
penitentiary, ranging from one to. 10
years.
The story of the burglary is told N
the following dispatch from Kamiah: ):
The same astuteness and daring on
the part of Kamiah citizens which at
least twice before led to the frustrat-
ing of an attempt at burglary in Kam-
iah last night brought about the cap
ture of three men who had entered
the Union Store and packed up mer-
Echandise of an aggregate value of 800.
About IL o'clock Thursday night
Jess Woods and Louis Drake, while
ON their way home from pool hall,
were attracted by noises in the Union
store. When inspection failed to re-
veal any lights in the building, they
became suspicious, and Woods hasten.
ed to call Jess Robertson, manager Of
the store, while Drake watched at the
front entrance.
On his way to call Robertson, Woods
encountered Roy Murphy, another
Kamiah man, who was in possession
oe q ,ax1oIx,or a,d ,r1o ,,,ebaI +o fha
store and took up a post at the rear
entrance Neither Drake nor Woods
was armed.
Robertson, on being notified, came
on the run. One of the burglars saw
him running across the street and two
of them attempted to escape through
the rear door, where they were inter
cepted by Murphy. Forcing past him,
the shooting caused the fugitives to
stop, and brought other citizens into
the alley.
The pair was captured by the crowd
and the third was found in the build
ing.
A sack of beans had been dumped
ON the floor and the sack packed with
clothing, shoes, knives, scissors, man
icure sets and samples Of nearly every
thing in stock of the stort. A box had
been packed with the same goods.
The men gave their names as Pur-
cell, asserting they were brothers. They
alleged that they had been cutting
wood for Harry Gamble, manager of
the Greer hotel, but that now they
were out of work and their family was
cut of food. Their mother was sick.
they said, and they were driven to
burglary by need. They had walked
from Greer to Kamiah, a distance of
16 miles.
Their allegation that they had been
employed by Gamble at Greer was sub
stantiated in a telephone conversation
had with him by the Kamiah Tribune
correspondent Friday. The ages of the
men range from 81 to "a.
They were taken to Nezperce to be
turned over to authorities.

HOLDINGS

This corporation has been organized by Rawlins men for the
purpose of drilling a deep test well on property controlled by the
company situated on the EIGHT MILE LAKE structure, which
is pronounced by eminent authorities one of the most favorable
oil locations in Wyoming. The company has five whole sections
of land, as follows Railroad lease on all of Section 8; the North
west " of Section II. in Township 10 North of Range SO West.
The Southeast N of Section 81; the West " of Section 35 in
Township 20 North Range SO West.
Government Permit on all of Section 8; the Southeast "a of
Section a; all of Section 10, in Township IL, Range SO West. The
Southeast u of Section 26; the East Y of Section "a in Township
20 North, Range SO West. Total of 1900 acres.
The company has provided in advance for water by making
filings on springs located about a mile from the proposed well
site. This will supply pure mountain water for drilling and also
for domestc use and will eliminate the expense of hauling water.

HISTORY OF FIELD

The structure upon which the Hatfield Oil Company s. to drill
was 1t first definitely located by DR.. R: c. Pack. Professor Of
Geology in the University of Wyoming, about 1918. In that same
year TIE Laurel Oil Company drilled there to q total depth Of 2Soo
fest. but for various reasons the well was finally abandoned. The
hole was found to be too small for profitable working and there
were other Obstacles which those behind the venture thought could
not be successfully overcome. In this well oil was actually struck
at . depth Of 100 feet. but this proved to be . pocket" although
at one time the oil stood 14o0 feet deep in the well.
During the following year 1014) the American Oil Company
made another attempt to drill this ground. but .: was proved later
by : more complete survey Of the field and Of the dome itsef.
their location was "off structure and no discovery Of oil resulted.
Gas was found in great quantities: with 100 pounds rock press
ure. the daily flow being estimated at ~20.OO0,OOO feet.
The American OIL Company made another unsucces:ful ven
confirm the contention Of many that the site chosen was not To-
Gated on the structure. This entire field was about this time plane
carefully ~re-checked. with the result that the Hatfield oil Com
nanv's officer, and stockholders are absolutely confident that the
location selected by them for a new will is practically certain to
show profitable production.

Hatfield Oil Company of RawIins

work Of drilling begins. He has been engaged as master drller in
the fields of Ohio. Texas. Oklahoma and Illinois before coming to
Wyoming. Since locating here he established a record, which still
stands, by sinking a hole 4.44O feet in 80 days.
Mr.. Hatfield drilled the gas well on the Eight Mile Lake
structure, to which reference has been made herein, and is there
