An election will be held in this, the
Prairie Highway District on Saturday,
November oath, for the selection of
three highway commissioners to sue
coed N. B. Schlader, M. Schmidlkofer
and j. r. Durham, the present incum-
bents, whose terms will expire at the
end of this year. The voting places
will be at Nezperce and Russell, and
the time for voting will be between
the hours Of eight O'Clock in the morn
ing and seven in the evening.
The above named gentlemen have
administered the affairs of this dis
trict since its creation in April, 1919.
The district is out of debt and has a
good working balance on hand. Mean
while no highway district in Idaho can
boast better roads. 1t is often re-
marked by outsiders that they find
travelling within the borders of this
highway district better than In any
that they have traversed in this or
other sections of the state. This board

leading from Nezperce northeast that
will compare favorably with any state
highway, and at a fifty per cent less
cost than other districts have paid
The Prairie Highway district is also |
well equipped with woodworking ma
ehinery, which is all paid for.
There seems to be every reason VIII,
the old board should be continued OIL

will be available, and it is regres-
table fact that Mr.. Schmidlkofer's re- |
moval to Lapwai prevents his being
further available for this work il |
which he has taken so much interes,
1t will be no little task to secure
successor who win measure up to hi
standard.

DROBABLY every one has seen the
= person who carries the left hand
and forearm across the front of the
body, with the hand dropping at the
wrist, while the right forearm is car
ried vertically, and doubled back on
the biceps. The right hand droops at
the wrist and frequently carries some
trife, such as a pair of eyeglasses,
which is whirled or twirIed gently an
the person walks.
The restless person, uncertain in
purpose, with emotions that vary rap
Idly, seems to find no resting place for
his or her hands. They are always
in motion, lingering the watch chain,
or a button, or something else.
These people are very often very

Mexico TO Divide
Lands for indians.

San Antoine, Texas.-Informa-

the appointment by f. p. Gales,
interior minister, of Deputy Luis
Leon to direct appropriation OF
the extensive chihuahua holdings
of General Luis Terrazas, acquir-
ed by the Mexican government
recently in conformity with the
agrarian laws.
Deputy Leon will carry out
plans of Minister Gales and Presi.
dent Obregon for subdivisions OF
the great Terrazas properties
among the thousands OF Indians
of that state, according to the in
formation reaching San Antonio.
The Terrazas lands have been
The center of the principal revolu.
tionary activities in Mexico, and
1t is now planned to divide them
into a multitude of small farms.
This move on the part of the
Oregon government will reduce
to comparative poverty, it is said,
one of Mexico's land owners anG
richest men. 1t blights the last
hopes of General Terrazas, now
residing in Ell Paso, of ever re-
gaining his holdings.
The case of Terrszas recently
gained international prominence
when United States capitalists
sought to purchase the lands fol
colonization purposes, but were
blocked by the Mexican govern

According to legend, which has

Indian tribe reached the summit
Of the hill and for the first time
