TO her standard Of beauty regard

point taken by owners of timber
along the thousands of lakes in
Villas county, much would have
been added to the assets of this

the lakes have been denuded to a

TOO late for owners to preserve
what nature has. given by keep

In speaking of preserving the
beauties of lake shore lines, the
following is taken from the Mil
waukee Journal:
To no little extent lumber COM
panies operating in Wisconsin are
now refraining from cutting trees
that stand along the shores of in

In this they are rendering a dis
tinct public service, for it is a
policy that preserves the natural
setting Of many lakes-the forest
growth that comes down TO the
waters edge. 1t conserves natur-
al beauty of great charm for the
enjoyment of all.
What is more, the lumber COM
panies who pursue this course
are acting in an enlightened man.

HEAVY HARVEST
IS NEAR FINISH
Very Little Grain Remains to
Be Threshed on Camas
Prairie

Camas Prairie ranchers have prac-
tically completed what has proven to
be the largest grain harvest in many
years. Ideal weather for cutting and
threshing of grain has prevailed
throughout the late summer and early
fall, with the result that the harve3t
has been uninterrupted. 1t has pro-
gressed with such speed that, despite
the heavy grain in practically every
field, virtually all grain has been
threshed.
Rain during the present week has
interrupted what late threshing re
mains TO be done, but the amount OF
grain in the shock is declared to be
negligible, compared with the many
thousands of acres that have been
threshed.
Ranchers and truckers are busy
hauling the sacked grain to the ware
houses. Heavy shipments or grain
have been made during the last sew
eral weeks to the Pacific coast.

Farmers There Are Deeply in
Debt and Cannot Market
Their Crops

Declaring that Idaho county people
have great opportunities before them
in a land of wonderful resources, and
that they should not rush to Califor'
mia, hoping to get rich quickly, but
had better stay at home, I. E. Ed
mundson, for many years a resident
of Grangeville, but now residing al
Sawtelle, Cal, has written to the Free
Press describing economic conditions
in that state. Farmers there are In
terrible straits, writes Mr.. Edmundson
They have paid excessive prices fol-
their lands, are deeply in debt, and
cannot sell their crops.
Big Explosion Due
"It is estimated that people are ar.
irving in Los Angeles at the rate of
5000 a day." writes Mr.. Edmundson.
Honestly, / do not know what is
going to happen. The farming sec
tions are in a bad way, worse, If any
thisg, fhas they are in Idaho. Around
Fresno, where the raisin is the chief
crop, last years crop remains unsold,
and at Modesto the fruit growers were
only able to dispose of small guam
tity of their crop. The apricots they
did not pick at all.
''The farmers are badly in debt, hav-
ing only a small equity in their places,
and say, the farmers certainly do work
down here. If they worked this way
up in Idaho county they would all be
Real Estate Booming
''The only thing that is booming
down here is Los Angeles real es-
tate, and they certainly work it
to the limit. My advice to those
who contemplate coming here is to
stay at home, for there are far
more and better opportunities in
old Idaho county than there are
in California, and if Grangeville
would only utilize what resources
it has now, it would have pop
ulation of over 10000.
"Too bad that $4,000 that was used
on the South Fork road was not hand
ed to some Los Angeles promoter to
put Idaho county on the map.
''You have a wonderful nucleus to
start with up there-a bunch of the
finest people on earth-and we often
think about them"

Conduct of Affairs in Of

State Superintendent Deter
mined Truancy Laws Shall
Be Enforced or Know Why

Asserting that the first annual re-
port of Mrs. Eta M. Arnold, county
superintendent of public instruction
for Idaho county, on the operation of
her office, had been promptly received,
and indicated careful supervision by
Mrs. Arnold of the public schools of
Idaho county, Miss Elizabeth M. Rus
sum, state superintendent of public
instruction, with headquarters at
Boise, was in Grangeville Wednesday.
Miss Russum was here for the pur-
pose of comforting with Mrs. Arnold.
Not knowing that Miss Russum was
to be in Grangeville, Mrs. Arnold was
absent from the city on a tour of in
spection of the schools in the Salmon
river country.
She's Attending to Business
"While I exceedingly regret that I
did not have the opportunity of seeing
Mrs. Arnold" Miss Russum declared,
ST am very glad that she is visiting
the rural schools, particularly in these
isolated parts of the country"
Miss Russum explained that child
rem in the mountain regions are as
much entitled to educational advan-
tages as are those in the more pop
ulous districts, and it was essential
that the county superintendent pay
particular attention to the small dis
tricts, in order that they might func
tion properly.
Miss Russum is gathering data
throughout the state on the number OF
children of school age who are attend
ing school, and is determined that the
truancy laws shall be vigorously en-
forced.
'.I see no reason she declared,
"why there should not be as many
children in the sixth grade as in the
iIst."
Why Not i'm School?
The state superintendent intimated
that. because of laxity in enforcement
of the truancy laws, many Idaho child
rem who should be in the schoolroom
are not attending school.
Miss Russum decried failure on the
part of parents of deaf and blind child
rem to send them to the state school
at Gooding for training.
"While 1 appreciate the hesltancy
with which parents part with these
afflicted children" remarked the state
superintendent, "we have splendid
school at Gooding and it is really
much better that they be sent to the
state school for training"
