DEBATERs FOR SCHOOL coNsoL
mATIoN WIN.

The Parent-Teaehers meeting held
lin the pablic school house last night
was made exceedingly interesting by
the debate, conducted by the High
School Debating Club, on the proposl-
ton, 'sSchool Consolidation Is Desira-
Bile and Possible ,, A fair audience
heard the four students ON either side
of the question present their argu-
inents--real, meaty points, too-and
showed by the wrapt attention given
and the applause following each
speech that they were not only inter
ested in the topic, but were being high
| ~ entertained by the speakers 1t was
a snappy tug of war, with the sides
well balanced in speaking ability and
their treatment of the question ex-
haustive and showing careful prcpar-
alton.
Mrs. p. A. Olson, Mrs. Harry Mitch
ell aud P. J. Hartnett were the judges,
and, after q short conference follow
ing the closing argument. give out a
unanimous decision in favor of the af-
firmative.
The debaters were:
ffirmative-Charles Jamison, Mar
jorie Miller, Audrey Stapleton, Bay
ard Martin.
Negative Herschel Baskett, Carl
Riggers, Alma Lehr, Harold Cook.
Whatever the final outcome of the
school consolidation movement in this
and the adjoining districts it viii be
largely influenced by the information
gained in this debate and the clever
manner in which it was presented by
these young people, who are fine rep
rescntatives of the coming generation
which will ere long have charge of
affairs in our community.

TOOTH FROM PREHISTORIC MON
STER.

Charleston, April "A mammoth
tooth, presumably that of a prehistoric
animal, was excavated by crew of
men this week who are working on
the Washington-Tdaho Water, Light
and Power company's pipe line wess
of the oil well being drilled near the
Swallows Nest. The tooth weighs
6 pounds and eight ounces and is in
good condition, other than it was dam
aged slightly in removing it from the
earth.
Several teeth of similar nature have
been found buried in the earth in the
vicinity whore this one was found, bu-
this is believed to be the largest yet
discovered.
The tooth is on display at the
Baughman & Seely real estate office
on Sixth street.

SELL LEWIS COUNTY TIMBER
APPRAISED AT $2I7.5 500.

LapNai, April SIN view of the un
usual activity this year on the. part OF
timber men in the wooded areas of
Idaho, particularly in the Clearwater
country, where mills are building in
every direction, it is expected that
more than ordinary interest will con
meet with the coming sale of 65,000.-
900 feet of timber on the Nez Perce
reservation. This will be sold by bids
to be submitted TO Superintendent O.
H. Lipps of the Lapwai Indian school
on or before May 9 at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon.
The timber to be disposed of by the
government stands on two tracts to-
taiing $500 acres. One of the tracts
lies near Craig Junction and contains
approximately 35,000,G0O feet On this
the minimum appraisement is So per
thousand. The other tract lies north
of the town Of Reubens, contains 30.
000, 900 feet and is appraised at $3.75
per thousand feet.
The terms of sale are that the pur
chaser make stipulated deposit and
make further payments as the timber
is cut and removed. The purchaser is |
allowed seven years in which to re-
move the timber. At the minimum
appraisal the timber is worth $217.- |
500.

LOCAL OFFICE SHOWS
INCREASED STAMP SALE

The stamp sales Of the Nezperc,
post office totaled 100000 during the
first quarter of this year. The sales
for the same quarter last year amount,
ed TO $S71.00. While the sales for the
same period in some years during and
prior to the war amounted TO few
hundred dollars more than those of the
current year, the amount reported for
the quarter just passed is encouraging
as indicating that either business is
generally increasing or that the situs
tion is becoming more hopeful in that
direction and money is easier, which
amounts to about the same thing.
In the larger centers, the postal act
ivity is taken as criterion of bust
ness conditions.

RUSSIANS ARE WANTED

SPOKANE, August 23-Plans for bringing a colony of Russian peasants to Douglas county for the resettle- ment of abandoned wheat farms there were outlined at a recent meeting of the land settlement committee on the Spokane chamber of commerce.
 Many fertile farms, it was declared. some possessing valuable improve ments, had been abandoned because of crop failures and could be secured with little or no payment down and made to pay for themselves in few years. W. H. Miller told the committee that these farms would produce Dum- per crops had they been planted this year
 MT. Miller expressed the belief that mortgage men handling land would assist the settlers in securing cattle and other stock and that they would not require any payments on the prin- cipal until at least five years after taking possession. Now the committee is seeking further information about peasant people in Russia, Austria and Czecho-Slavakia

Private Letters Published

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 24.- The statement issued last night by Senator Johnson denouncing his po- litical enemies in California, it trans pires, grew out of a publication by Andrew M. Lawrence, of the San Francisco Journal, and certain east ern papers of extracts from private letters written by Senator Johnson just prior to Harding's death to Chas. K. O'Clatchy of San Francisco, and which Johnson said were procured by theft and burglary. The extracts read in part:
 T am under no illusions now about California. Really I doubt if 1 could carry it against Harding. Hoover or any other candidate The old crew are in the saddle for the first time since 1910, and have the state and all it's offices under active militant organization Ii I were a candidate would fear the loss Of California more than New York. This is no idle statement, and please do not ascribe it to my pessimism."

 MT. Laughlin states that it is planned to establish the new building on the right-of-way, but that many of the parents object to this, believing it will be dangerous to the pupils, as trains are passing frequently. The site has not as yet been determined.

RESIDENTS OF LAKE RENAL
 COMPLAIN RIVER IS BLOCKED

Blockading of the lower Kenai riV- CT by the nets of fishermen is respon- sible, according to residents Of Lake Kenai for very few salmon reaching the lake this season. Where salmon formerly were caught by the thous- ands, the intensive fishing in the mouth of the river by the cannery crews, have resulted in fish being practically stopped from ascending the stream.
 Thomas Donohoe, at Quartz creek, has put up about 16O salmon this sea son, where formerly thousands were caught for local use.
 we attribute the scarcity of fish to the cannery being located far up the river from it's mouth,," said one prominent resident. Tt is impossible for fish to escape the nets of the fish ermen, and those caught here this year are all scared by nets."
