PAYETTE COUNTY
SCHOOL NOTES

The State Rural Supervisor Soi
Schools, Miss Margaret Sweet, to-
gether with the County Superin-
tendent of Schools spent the past
week visiting and checking the rural
schools in Payette County. Miss
Sweet expressed herself as well
pleased with the work that is being
done in the Rural schools in this
county.
During the next six weeks each
school in the County will observe a
patrons Week. The date set for
this week is optional with the dis
trict. During Patrons Week" we
urge that all patrons and tax payers
visit their schools and observe the
same in general working order.
Aside from the school exhibit, the
regular routine of work will be fol-
lowed during the week. If you have
not visited your school this year,
this is your oportunity to make the
first visit. We hope that it will not
be the last call you can make; the
schools need and solocit the cooper
alton of the homes. In order that
they may better meet the needs of
the pupils who come from them.

Oroville because he knows how to
make his land work for him by work
ing on 1t with intelligence and system
Mr. Thrasher is now earning an in
come of $40 a month from his eggs. He
made a showing from a small patch of
strawberries and vegetables last sum-
mer that attracted a great deal of at
tention, and he declares that he can
pay for his entire Is acres with the
yield of three-quarters of an acre. Mr..
Thrasher lived for many years in Utah
under an irrigation project there and
learned thoroughly the lessons of how
best to farm with water He says he
was asked when he first announced
that he was coming here and would
raise strawberries. why he did not go
to an established strawberry country
like kennewick. He said then. that he
believed that he could do as well here
and now says that he finds that better
berries can be produced here than at
kennewick and he expects to see this
community become strong rival of
the Columbia river strawberry dis
trict.

10000 acres of fertile fruit lands. In
the background are seen some of the
mountains that surround and protect
this valley from damaging storms,
while between the river and the noun
tains stretches the level floor of the
valley where lies the town of Oroville,
surrounded by highly productive
orchards, the most profitable of all
branches of the farming industry.

BARNEY RECEIVES $4,000
Young Man Who Lost Arm In Hay
Baler Awarded Damages.

Eddie Barney. son Of w. H. Barney,
who has a home on the west side of
OsOyoos lake north of town, received a
check for $4,000 Saturday night, his
half of damages awarded to him by a
decision of the supreme court for the
loss of his right arm in hay press in
Spokane county following his dis
charge from the spruce division of the
army.
The full arawrd was for $4,000 and
the other $4,000 goes to the attorneys
who represented Barney on a fifty-fifty
contingent fee arrangement. The case
was originally tried in the Superior
court of Spokane county and damages
in the amount of $500 were awarded
by Judge Hurn. Appeal was taken by
defendant and cross appeal was enter
ed by attorneys for Barney, alleging
that the damages allowed were insuffi-
cient. The supreme court did the unu-
sual thing for it of increasing the
amount from $500 to $4,000 in a de-
cision handed down last July.
According to the statement of facts
set forth in the decision of the SUI
preme ourt, j. A. Anderson, who owns
several farms in Spokane county was
the defe".dnt. The decision says:
THE plaintiff was engaged with a
crew in operating a hay baling ma.
chine. The machine was run by an en-.
gine so arranged that its power could
be disengaged from the baling machine
by the use of a clutch operated by q
lever-a part of the machine A pin In
the machine broke and Carl higgins
the operator in charge of the machine
threw it out of gear leaving the engine
running. and went to the tool wagoT

pairs. He ordered the machine to bt

plaintiff was thus engaged. the oper
ator was driving the wooden pin init

at that position, moved the lever whicl
caused the clutch to engage the pOwe

GREAT NORTHERN TO

Has Extensive Plans for the
Next FiUe Years.

In continuance of its policy of devel-

that 1t serves, the Great Northern Rah-
way Company has extensive plans for
Improvement of its property for the next
five years, one of which is the electrifi-
cation of that section of the road which
lies in the Rocky Mountains. The work
will not be started before 1924.
According to Ralph Budd, president
Of the company. the managements orig
inal notion to electrify the Cascade por-
ton of the property was set aside Ill
favor of territory nearer Spokane.
Density of traffic Is the strictest re-
uuirement Of any section considered Tor
electrification, and our road through the
Rockies Is doing greater business every
season." said Mr.. Budd. who recently
visited the General Electric Company
Schenectady plant to look at types Oh
electric motors.
In the opinion of Mr.. Budd, conditions
must be more suitable for progressive
railroading before any large attempts
toward electrification of railroads should
be made. ttfs

Princeton Boasts of Benefits

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD,

nous country atmosphere and it's effect
upon the work of educating young mer
and fitting them for the tasks of later
life has always been a moot question
not only among undergraduates. grad
yates and members Of the faculty, but
also visitors and outside educators
There are some who believe this atmos-
phere to be detrimental more are of
the opinion that 1t Is beneficial.
Among the latter is Dean West of the
Princeton Graduate school, who feels
that the cultural side of mans nature
can be best developed by a clubIike In
fluence similar to that which Princeton
University is trying to exert.
Beautiful surroundings" said Dean
West In a recent interview. help to give
a man elevating impulses and a tranquil
happiness in his life. Also they develop
the cultural side. which Is just as neces-
sary as the academic side. Some have
thought that Princeton has been paying
too much attention to fine architecture.
scenic beauty and the happiness of a
pleasant social campus life to the
neglect of her prime business OF liberal
education and hard work. No doubt
there is some truth In this. for there
are men I'm Princeton. as in other coli
leges. who are only too ready TO take
their etudies lightly and make their
pleasant social life In beautiful sur
roundings the main thing.
Nevertheless. IL is not the architec-
ture and sylvan beauty that does this.
The hndrance Is usually in the man him
self. And for most men the beauty OF
Princeton is of high value, both as being
delightful and inspiring in itself and
also as giving the true setting for the
best type Of student life. These ele-
waiting influences are felt by almost
every one who strolls. especially at even
ing, under the elms or by the arches and
towers of our Gothic halls. They seem
in some ancestral way to embody the
feelings and longings Of academic life
and to breathe the spirit Of studies them
selves"
