SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING

A young man from the city en-
tiers the Big Bend harvest fields for
the first time. He is as green as
they make EN-" He shows the
members of the heading crew how
green he is when he can not har-
ness a horse and can not even
drive them after they are hooked
to his header box.
The first day in the field he is
dubbed kid" Soon after this he
nearly kills Barney" a lazy repro
bate of a horse over twenty years
old, who seems to consider it his
duty to make the younger horses
do the work.
Then Shorty has a slight alterca-
ton with the loader that results In

new loader appears the next morn

vipont mine and mill have closed
down until the price of silver rises
This mine, about twenty-five miles
south of Oakley and making this
town it's shipping point, has been one
OF the big industrial projects of the
west. Everything in the plant and
in the town of Vipont is closing up.
No doubt the post Office will be dis
contiued. 1t is thought probable
that after September first there will
be no one at Vipont except a watch
man.
TO say that Oakley will miss vi
pont is putting it lightly. The big
mine has been help, directly or in
directly, to every person in Oakley
and vicinity. OF course, we expect
vipont to open again. There's still
mountain of ore awaiting the
change of the market. And there
are other mountains of ore, near vi
pont and elsewhere in the Oakley
neighborhood,, that are just being
opened up. When the price of silver
again rises, we will have tributary
to our town, not only Vipont, but
half a dozen other mines.
Meanwhile, the most groundless
opinion of the day is the one that
we've got to wait for another mining

have been installed, with efficient loc-

improvements have been made In
the balcony above the gymnasium,

charges were s1S,396.55, leaving a
net balance of $13,52S.61.
Thirty-five per cent of the gross
receipts are returned to the counties
in which the forest is situated for
road and school purposes. To date,
from the above fund the Minidoka
forest has returned approximately
$65, ,000 The forest furnishes sum-
mer rforage for $4,000 cattle and
horses, $1,000 sheep and supplies
timber and fire wood to a dependent
territory with approximately $4,000
inhabitants.

greatest fire hazard has arrived. CO.
incident with this was the opening of
the chicken season and a resultant
exodus of people to the mountains.
This is expected, is wanted and is
a real part of the resources bound
up in our national forests, which are
being exploited along sane and rea-
sonable lines.

addition to that, you have added
tremendously to your total receipts.
The Oakley Cheese factory, if Civ

farmers, will be a greater asset TO
this community than Vipont ever
was. And l must say that the sup
port of this industry is growing a
little more enthusiastic every day.
Yesterday Thursday all records
as to quantity of milk received were
broken. The quantity received yes
terday was 4132 pounds, which rep
resents a daily increase of ton
since Mr.. DeLaMare began his cam
paign for more milk. If the milk
continues to come in at this rate, the
farmers will get forty-five cents n
pound for butter fat; and IL the
quantity is increased to five thou
sand pounds day, the rate will be
fifty cents. The overhead expense is
about the same whether the output is
large or small. Bigger turnover
means bigger profits and it is plann-
ed to give all the extra profit to the
farmers.
Two trucks bring in the milk.

Enough milk has been promised on
these two routes to bring the total
up to five thousand pounds within
week or ten days.
That leaves Basin, south Oakley
and Kenyon still to be accounted
for. A Kenyon man stated that his
neighborhood ought to supply 1000
pounds of milk. We believe that
either Basin or south Oakley could
do as we'll. So, when these districts
are brought into line, the total
quantity of available milk should
not be less than four tons. That
would insure top prices for the but

SPLENDID FEED FOR STOCK
ON EAST MOUNTAINS RANGE

HEREFORD RANGER STATION
ELBA, IDAHO.-The feed on the
range is better than at any time in
the past seven years. The cattle
look fine. There was high per-
centage calf crop and there will be
lots of good beef this year.
The loss from poison larkspur has
been less than in any season for the
past five years.
There are about 1900 cattle and
horses and 10000 sheep in this (the
albion Mountain) division of the
Mniidoka National forest.
On account of the heavy growth
of grass, the fire hazard will be ve-
ry great during the next few weeks.
People are urged to use the very
greatest caution. Last year some
ranchers thought they could destroy
grasshoppers by burning the grass,
but this proved a mistaken opinion.
The grasshoppers were driven by the
fire from the grass to the grain. Ac-
cording to state law, it is illegal 10
start a fire within fire district
without permission of the fire war
den CASUALLY the forest ranger). The
fire district in most cases extends
miles beyond the forest boundary.
Within this limit, a man is required
to obtain a permit to start fire, ev-
en- on his own land. 1t is urged that
people cooperate to the fulles ex-
tent with the forest service. as the
heavy grass will make it difficult 10
put out fires once they are started.
