Worlds Accessible Timber.

The accessible timber of the world
is inadequate to the requirements of
modern civilization, says the forest
service, United States Department of
Agriculture. We now draw one-third
of our paper requirements from Can
ada. There is an embargo on the ex-
port of pulp wood from the crown
lands of Canada, and this is likely to
be extended to all forest lands in the
Dominion, completely shutting off the
supply of raw material for the paper
industry of the United States. This
illustrates the hazard of becoming de-
pendent upon foreign supplies of tim
Der. 1t is pointed out.

Are screech owls ominous7

In some sections of the country peo-
pae believe that when a screech owl
saiights and begins to send out its
Shivering cry into the night 1t is a
sign of some Ill luck which is soon to
befall them. Particularly do ignorant
people put faith in this sign. Many
have been heard to say that it betokens
the early death of a loved one. No
more utterly false specter Of the imagi-
nation was ever created. A screech
owl is quite harmless. In fact, they
are quite valuable, pretty little night
birds.-Our Dumb Animals.

GRAND OPENING KAMIAH HIGH.
WAY SEPT. 2s.

Friday of fair week will be known
as Commercial Club Day and the spec
ial event of the day in addition to the
fair attractions viii be the formal
opening of the Kamiah Hill Highway,
which will be ready for use by that
time. The local club win sponsor the
program and the plans as now out
lined viii include invitations TO all
the commercial clubs of this section
to make Kamiah as their special pur-
pose on the second day of the fair
Friday Sept. 2s.
These visitors win be invited to
time their arrival at the top of the
hin at about the same hour in the
forenoon, when the gates of the high
way will be formally opened and the
cars allowed to make the first trip
over the new road At the Point
above town, where there is plenty Of
room the d. o. O. X. band win be
stationed to welcome the caravan and
a stop made for refreshments, 10 pc
served by bevy of Kamiah s hand
soonest girls. Then the procession win
continue on down into town, arriving
here at noon, or in plenty of time for
dinner and to attend the fair in the
afternoon.
The club feels that the opening or
the new hill highway is an event in
which all the people of this entire
section should be interested, mas
much as the road will be an advantage
to the prairie as well as to our own
valley. It's scenic attractiveness Is
going to draw many people through
Lewis county, while commercially it
will prove profitable also.-Progress.

TREATING EN- RIGHT.

That ought to become as common an
expression out here as Treating EN-
rough The other day in Boise sew
eral eastern men, representing very
large financial interests, making a
quiet investigation of idaho possibil-
tiles, were entertained at a luncheon.
Several short speeches were made.
Lieutenant Governor Baldridge, rep
resenting the absent governor, vel
coined the visitors and assured them
that any investment in Idaho would
be fully protected and treated with
the utmost fairness.
s.That is different from the story
we have heard back in Boston and
New York, - one of the visitors re-
marked This man, by the way, is q
millionaire and handles enormous
sums of others as well as his own.
1--WE can easily determine your
physical or material advantages, he
proceeded, ffand figure with fair ac-
curacy on the prospects of returns on
any investment we might make here,
but we cannot read the minds of your
people. Their fairness, the protection
they youchsafe, is fully as necessary
for us to know about as it is for us
to know about yopr resources. With
out that we could not come in, regard
less of the other Your spokesman 3
assurances are most gratifying. -
This again supplies the great lesson
that Idaho, sorely needing this now
influx of capital, which means moro
and substantial population, can well
afford to impress the fact by decent
treatment of the investor we already
have, that fairness and protection viii
be accorded all others who come witS
legitimate intent and with squat
dealing as their motto.

BEAN HARVEST ON.

The Turner Brothers started cutting
their 200-acre bean crop southeast of
town the first of the week, with every
prospect of a good harvest and large
yield. These beans were planted on
wheat land that would otherwise have
been summer-fallowed and in cult
waiting the beans it has been kept free
of foul growth. Presuming the beans

they indicate that) and bring four
cents pound, the hustling and thrift

left the land fallow, and it is just as
ready for wheat crop next year as
it could have been otherwise

farmers, will start harvesting his $40
acres of beans in few days, with
practically the same prospects as con.

LOOKING FOR EASY MONEY

A Walla Nalla banker, addressing
the Advertising club there, reported
that statesmen Of wildcat stocks drawn
to the Inland Empire by the reports
Of abundant harvests, are coming in
increasing numbers The speaker
said that Walla Walla bankers will
try to protect their customers, and
the Advertising club instructed its
better business bureau to be on guard.
II is within the power of the bank
ers to break up these raids that are
draining out millions upon millions OF
dollars for which there is no return,
If the bankers would enter upon n
systematic and determined campaign,
pledging themselves, in the first in
stance, not to discount notes of farm
ers and others taken in exchange for
worthless OF doubtful stocks, would
give counseling talks like that before
the Walla Walla Advertising club,
and warn their customers individually
sellers of wildcat stocks would find
slim pickings.
Where these statesmen operate in
farming communities they lure on
their victims with proposals that no
cash payment will be necessary, that
the farmers note viii be glady taken,
and that the expected profits will pay
off tho note before maturity. Then
the notes are taken to local bank,
or to some individual member of a
banking institution, and sold at dis
count running up, in some instances
to 25 per cent.
Prospective buyers of these doubt
full or hopeless stocks shcSld ask
themselves, before the sign notes OF
put up their hard-earned money, what
prospect they can have of getting
back their money against the heavy
rake loft, first, of from 25 to 80 per
cent paid to the stock salesman, and
then a 25 per cent discount on the
notes taken in exchange for the stock
1t is venture improbable Of finan-
cial return, and those bankers who are
protesting against the banks having
anything to do with such dealings are
deserving Of support and commend
neutrality-suspicious..

The building was owned by the Mil
Ter Implement CO., and the garage
equipment, farm machinery and three

The fire was of unknown origin and
was under such Roadway when the
alarm was sounded that nothing was
saved from the burned building. The
fierceness of the conflagration made
il hard to fight, but the well organic
ed Grangcville fire crew met the sit
uation heroically and held the major
damage to the one building, though
adjacent buildings and some of their
contents were more or less injured by

THE LEWISTON CHARLESTON FAIR
OPENS NEXT TUESDAY.

The Lewiston. Charleston Fair and
Roundup win open at Lewiston ON
next Tuesday. The managers of this
organization have been working for
the past several months in prepara-
tion of this opening. The success of
their efforts win be determined by
the public after the close of the first
performance on next Tuesday.
The word come out from Lewiston,
however, that the preparations are
complete and that if good weather
prevails, the entire Lewiston Clark
ston country will agree that the 1923
exposition is the largest and the best
ever offered in the Inland Empire.
For the past several weeks the man
agement has been busy making the
necessary improvements to offset the
fire loss sustained early in September.
A number of very material improve
ments have been included and one
that the public viii appreciate is the
installation of the Wonderphone, an
electrical arrangement by which all
announcements are carried to every
section of the grandstand and bleach
ers so that every person may be in
formed at all times as to the program
and the results of the contests.
The last word from the Lewiston
fair management is that good weather
only is necessary to insure the biggest
success any show of the kind has ever
enjoyed
