RIVERS ARE CLEAR OF ICE;
 NAVIGATION SEASON OPENS

Reportas received at the local sta tion of the U. S. Signal Corps indicate that the Yukon river and most of its tributaries are now practically free of ice, and the sea- son of navigation has already open ed on the upper Yukon, with one boat arriving at Dawson from Lake Labarge and another enroute from Dawson to the upper Stewart.
 The Yukon river ice went out at Panama and Circle on Monday and at Melozi on Tuesday. The breakup occurred at Rampant last night and it is expected the heavy run of ice will clear the river at Ruby, where the ice was still holding yesterday.
 Yesterdays bulletin stated that the Innoko river had opened at Holy Cross and that the Yukon river ice at that point was rising, with the breakup near ct hand.
 The Kuskokwin river had not op- ened at Bethel up to yesterday morning.
 The Panama river breakup, in the vicinity of Nenana, was unusu- ally orderly and rapid after the ice had gotten under way The run of ice was practically continuous un- til the river had cleared.
 The steamer Nasutlin, of the White Pass fleet, arrived at Daw- son from Lake Labarge Tuesday afternoon and was scheduled to leave Dawson for Mayo yesterday. 4 mail launch was scheduled to leave Dawson for down river points this morning. The steamer Alaska is enroute up the Stewart river for load of ore.
 The breakup al Nenana was fol- lowed almost immediately by launching of small boats and the waterfront, in consequence, now presents a busy scene, from the railroad docks. where the steamer Teddy H. is loading for a trip up the Yukon, TO the shipyards, where haste is being made to get the steamers Davis and Jacobs into the water.
 The N. C. Mail launches Sibilla and Panama, which will operate this summer on the Yukon river below Holy Cross, at which point they will connect with the Government steamers Davis and Jacobs, will leave for the lower river tonight, following the arrival of the mail from the coast.

Cassia VIII Cooperate with State
and Federal Governments To
Eradicate Tuberculosis in Cattle

The Cassia County Board of Com
missioners passed an order We'd
nesday, July IL, appropriating $500
for the purpose of employing a vet
erinarian and providing Transports q
ton for corps of five state and
federal vets for conducting tuber-
culosis free drive of the county. sd
The purpose of this drive will be
to test all of the cattle In the coun-
ty for the disease and destroy all
cattle found to be affected with the
disease. All animals found to be
diseased will be appraised and in
demnity will be paid 10 the owners
by the state and federal depart
ments.
A similar drive has recently been
completed in Lemhi county In
this drive about one per cent of the
cattle in the county were found TO
be tuberculin. The cost of the Lem
hi county drive was spout three
thousand dollars, and over eight
thousand dollars was paid to the
owners of the reactors.
We feel that the Commissioners
of Cassia county deserve a great
deal of praise for the action they
have taken in this matter, as the
benefits derived from the eradica-
ton of the disease in this county
will be great. This is true, not
only from the standpoint of the
producer of beef and milk, but
from the standpoint of every family
IN the county. Investigations have
shown that large percentage of
the tuberculosis present in children
is of the bovine type and has been
contracted by eating meat and
drinking milk from tuberculin ami
mails
The Organization of the campaign
has been placed in the hands of
County Agent j. w. Barber. Depu-
ties will be appointed in each dis,
trict of the county for the purHa
of taking care of the local ARA
ments. An effort will be made
conduct this campaign at the
est cost to the county possible
will necessitate the cooperati6X6f
every one cncerned. Let's all get
back this movement and put It
over at the very lowest cost.

Bob Gorirnge Has Thrilling Ride
on Birch Creek Road, Monday

There was cloud-burst on Birch
creek Monday just as the Viponi
stage was coming down the road
Bob Gorringe reports that the jour
ney was thrilling, especially to the
passengers. Not ono Iaiied to get
more than his moneys worth. II
was noticed that the hair on one
fellows head stood up so straight
that it lifted his cap.
A few calves and sheep were
drowned by the brief flood. Some
damage was done to the road.
Surplus water from Birch creek
was running over the streets of
Oakley Tuesday morning. No doubt
this came as a result OF the minia-
ture Noahs flood on Birch creek.

OF the Ford ignition system for in

in many respects. Because of its
simplicity, and the certainty of its

is dark and shadowy. AS the sun
mounts higher the colors deepen,
becoming violet and purple, of a
strength and purity never seen
where rain is frequent. Purple in
all its rich and varied shades Is
the prevailing color impaired to
arid lands when the sun is low in
the heavens"
GAS evening approaches there Is
a gradual change from glare to
shadow. The shadows creep
higher and higher, until each SER
rate crest becomes a line of light,
margining rugged slopes ON which
every line etched through centuries
by rills and creeks reveals its his
tory. The mountain seemingly
grows In stature and unfolds ridges
and buttresses separating profound
depths. One marvels at the diver
sity and strength of the sculpturing
on what but few moments before
appe ed fiat, meaningless
surfaces.
We believe Mr.. Russell was cor
rect in his conclusions in regard to
the Importance of the side lights OF
morning and late afternoon. We
would suggest, further, that you ex-
jplore Idaho's landscapes by moon
light. Suppose you set out on a
hike at six in the evening, returning
any time from eleven till two. An
auto drive at night through the CT
ty of Rocks will give you hrills yu
will never forget. To the magma
tive mind, the massive rocks in the
shape of castles, towers, monu-
ments, palaces, become very real
city. The great horned owls, an
swering each other through the
tranquil city" add an uncanny
touch OF local coloring and interrupt
the silence which is broken other
wise only by the audible stiffness of
the crickets.
Vacation in our mountains gives
you a kick you can't experience on
the plains. Whether or not you
fish, you will find new tang in life.
II is so interesting to be alive that
you recollect with wonder that you
ever had to be merely amused
The gurgle of a brook mingles
with the pines aeolian harp. a
hawk floats in the clean air. To your
right, to your left, hills soar untir-
ingly until mountain top is married
to the sky. AS twilight approaches.
you see that the sculpturing of the
has been tremendous
the work of hundreds of thousands
of years. Still you hear the muir

strains of the wind among the
pines. A trout leaps In the brook.

Oakley as a Possible
Summer Resort
Town

It may not have occurred to some
who have lived here all their lives
that Oakley itself would be pleas
ant summer resort town to millions
of people who live on the plains and
in the cities. Evenings and nights
are always cool in our village. Usu-
ally by five in the morning, one re-
quires at least two or three blan-
kets for comfort. And it's always
cool in deep shade throughout the
day
There is a restful sort of beauty
about the old town which perhaps is
better appreciated by those who
have Travelled abroad than by per-
sons who have lived here exclu-
sively. Some of the cottages have
kind of Old World charm and
picturesqueness. The beauty is Of
the restrained, unobtrusive order
that suggests vineclad walls rather
than the odor of turpentine in fresh
paint.
We may well be thankful that
the early settlers were lovers of
trees and planted in abundance the
saplings which have earned for
Oakley the nickname, "City of
Trees" At a distance our village
resembles a hlge grove.
Our evenings are beautiful in a
quiet, inspiring sense. The alpine
glow of sunset clothes Mt. Inoe-
pendence every evening in robes Of
glowing colors. On the opposite
side of the horizon, in the north
west, there is an afterglow of tender
and subtle tints in the sky for hours
after sunset.
A Few Improvements Suggested
Just a suggestion or two as to-
making our village more beautiful.
A war of determination should be
declared against the weeds. 1t is
not enough to rake them up and
burn them in the autumn or spring.
1t isn't necessary to tolerate their
presence during the summer.
Again, some of the systems of
sanitation used in the village are to
be deplored. One might say that /:
is rather, the general lack of any
system. This condition should be
reformed. Perhaps some good sys-
tenn is used in about a tenth of the
residences.
Again, we suggest that the Wo |
mans Civic club appoint a commit
tee to investigate the feasibility of
hardwood trees for shade |
and decoration. The poplars have
filed a noble purpose. But, while
they are quick-growing the are
short lived; and they are not so.
beautiful as some of the hardwood
trees.
If hardwood trees, such as some
species of oak, can be made TO
flourish here, they will outlast the
great great -great-great-grandchil-
iren of anybody now living.
We put the proposition before the
Civic club simply because the ladies
eem to care more about such things
han anybody else.
Plea for Artistic Disorder As
Landscape Gardeners First Law
Let us beware of standardization
s we do of rabies. 1t would be a
'ity to clear away every wild rose
rec from the fences. Perfectly reg
lar lines produce monotony. The ,
nost advanced type of landscape {
aims at artistic disorder. =
