GROUSE SEASON OPENS sATUR.
DAY.

The open season in Lewis county
on. blue grouse and native pheasant
starts Saturday, September l4 and
closes the 18th of the following month.
Many of the local nimrods are groom
ing their guns and dogs for getting in
on the ground floor in the spors.
II is claimed that the continued
rainy weather throughout the earlier
part of the season, during the grouse
brooding time, killed so many of the
young birds that this years supply
win be scarce, and numerous sports
men talked of petitioning the game
department to close the season entire
ly; but evidently no serious move was
made in this direction, as our deputy
state game warden, Geo. Carlisle, in
formed us yesterday morning the
hunting would be permitted as orig.
inally contemplated by the law.

SMUT FIRE BURNS THREsHER
AND GRAIN.

About 10 o. clock this morning L.
A. Garrett's steel threshing machine
was gutted by fire from a smut ex-
plosion, while operating on the Will
frid Waters farm seven miles north of
this city. The straw stack was burn
ed and the crew was able to save only
$50 sacks of grain from a pile of 600
sacks. The grain was insured, but
there was no insurance on the ma
chine, the interior of which was de
stroyed.
Desperate efforts were made to save
the machine with dust and water, but
the fire worked too fast The grain
carried very low per cent of smut;
in fact, it was unusually clean.
Mr.. Garrett is in town this after
noon and has under consideration a
deal for machine to replace the one
destroyed

Nezperce Offers Superior Advantages
and Good Outlook Ahead.

We take this method of informing
the patrons of the Nezperce Public
Schools that with the beginning of a
new school year we are going to
strive with added zeal to make the
schools successful and efficient,
We have noted in the past that our
greatest loss of efficiency in the High
School is in the matter of attendance.
We have tried many methods of cor
recting this but all of no avail. We
must have your cooperation. The
board has shown its willingness to
help by passing the two following
rules: 81
l. Any student who is absent from
any class more than ten times in one
semester, will receive no credit in that
class.
2 No students win be enrolled
later than Oct. ].
These rules are not drastic, but they
are very necessary for the successful
functioning of our High School. The
state law takes care of grade attend
ance, but we are left to devise our
own means of securing regular High
School attendance We must cooper
ate.
Z One thing of Importance to those
entering High School from outside
districts is the matter of securing
from their local clerks of the school
board duly signed tuition voucher,
Your clerk win know about it. Be
sure and ask him for signed tuition
voucher because you will not be en-
rolled until you have one and it must
be presented on the first day of
school.
Let 9 all work together and make
this the best school year in the his
tory of Neperce.

any condition that affects one, in
greater or less measure affects all.
The benefit of such an organiza-
ton here at home will be quickly APP
parent to all livestock men. If such
an organization had existed here DUR
ing the last two or three years of de-
preston it would have been of great
assistance to the livestock industry as
whole. Especially as the new corr
poration is composed of local men,
themselves tremendous factors in the
industry and knowing local conditions
intimately. Their own keen interest in
all that affects the industry, it finan-
cling and the marketing Of cattle,
lambs and wool, assures quick, intell-
igent action in times Of stress.
Cordial cooperation between the
state cattle growers association and
the state wool growers association,
with greatly beneficial results to the
twin industries, may be confidently
expected.
The purposes of the new corporation
were explained to many of the stock
men attending the state convention

lieve it will help materially in

RANGE DISPUTE BEING
HEARD IN HIGH COURT

Wien is a cattle range a sheep
range was the time worn question pre-
sented to the supreme court Monday
in arguments by attorneys for the
sheep and cattle interests III the APP
peal case Of r. T. Brown and others
against the state.
The appellants were arrested and
found guilty of trespass in Yavapal
county, the court deciding they had
violated the state law.
Forty years ago such a dispute
would have settled at the point OF a
gun and might have resulted in con-
siderable bloodshed.. But today found
decorous lawyers wearing collars and
coats fighting out a bloodless warfare
for their clients in high court.
Judge Perkins, himself a sheep man
and at one time secretary of the Ari-
zona Wool Growers association of
Flagstaff and Robert E. Morrison of
Prescott, represented the sheep men
and A. II. Favour of Prescott the cat
tie interests, who are anxious to see
the Arizona law upheld and vigorous
" enforced.
In the course of arguments it was
brought out that the recent friction
between the sheepmen and cattlemen
is due to the practice of moving the
sheep from the higher ranges of the
north to the lower ranges and owing to
the fact that homesteaders have set
tied along these trails they have been
gradually diminished from two and
three miles in width to scant quarter
mile in places, making it more diff
cult each year for the sheep men to
keep their sheep moving at a rate OF
at least three miles day as required.
Attorney Favor called attention to
4 the fact that the Arizona law was
I founded on the Idaho law which has
been upheld by the United States SUI
preme court. Much of the discussion
/ however, centered around the point as
/ to whether it has been used for both
cattle and sheep during the last &c
I years.
Judge Perkins made it clear that the
4 sheepmen are endeavoring to their ut
most ability to respect the rights of
the cattlemen and get along with them
as best they can and cited the coming
session of the sheep and cattlemen al
Flagstaff as an example of friendly
co-operation At the same time, he
continued, the sheepmen must be Civ
en- some means of moving their stock
from north to south and back agair
/ otherwise one of the most important
/ industries of the state would be SER
iously menaced, as it was impossible
4 to Craze the sheep in the northern
/ forests during the winter months.
