EVADE HOME FOLKS
OFFICERS UNABLE TO GET TRACE
OF COUSINS-LEFTN NICHOLS
FARM IN CAR

The Latah county sheriff's office
is endeavOring to gain some trace
of Melvina Nichols, Is, and her cou-
sin, Leon Nichols, Jr., II, who left
the home of the girls parents, Mr..
and Mrs Elmer Nichols, at an early
hour Thursday morning, in an auto
mobile, and have not been heard from
since.
The boy, nephew of Elmer
Nichols, and son of Leon Nichols, of
1859, Stanton street, Portland, for
mer Latah county farmer, came up to
Latah county some weeks ago to visit
his uncle and work through harvest
1t is understood that he told a few
days before he left that he was going
back home and would accompany
friend to Portland Wednesday night,
Melvina, who had been helping at the
cook house, asked permission to
spend the night there with the cook
About 4 O'Clock Thursday morning,
according to the story told The Star
Mirror, young Nichols arrived with
an automobile and was accompanied
by the girl, who apparently was wait
ing for him. The cook notified the
parents of the girl, and they, in turn,
notified the sheriff's office.
Telephone messages were sent to
police officers in surrounding towns,
and wire was sent to the Portland
police, but up to the present time no
trace of the young couple has been |
secured. They were travelling in
Chevrolet car, but the sheriff's office I
has been unable to learn who the car

u. OF /. PROFESSOR ASKED TO
IDENTIFY KULLYSPELL HOUSE

Tt is believed that Kullyspell house
one of the first houses to be erected
along the shores of Lake Pend
d'Oreille, has been discovered, and
Professor G. J. Brosnan, head of the
American history department at the
University of Idaho, and c. T. Elliott,
of Walla Walla, one of the foremost
historians of the northwest, have
been asked to visit the place, with a
view to making a personal examina-
ton, and securing any facts which
will lead to positive Identification.
Duncan Mcdonald, noted Indian
scout, whose grandfather assisted in
the erection of the building in 1909,
made the discovery. Practically all
that is left of the building, according
to McDonald's report, is the chin
neys.
Professor Brosnan will probably
visit the place sometime during the
present fall

HIGH SCHOOL WORK IN FULL
SWING-GIRLS IN MAJORITY

The end of the first week of the
school term found the Moscow high
school functioning as efficiently as
though it were the middle of the
term, with every reason to anticipate
a most successful year
The high school enrolment Friday,
according to figures by Principal
Gale, was 275, of which number 1872
are girls and SO boys. Mr.. Gale
states that while the enrolment is
approximately Is short Of the high
point last year, he expects the en-
rollment to exceed that of last year.
Many boys have stayed out because
it was necessary to help harvest the
crops, and some others have evidently
remained out the first week because
of a wrong impression, gained when
a plea was made for help in the har-
vest fields. 1t is the desire of the
faculty that every boy who expects
to enter school do SO at the earliest
possible date
The enrolment in the grades has
steadily during the week.
and is up to the normal enrolment
for the first week of the term.

MANY RICH COAL Mines
OWNED BY GOVERNMENT.

Washington-(A P)-Uncle Sam
is one of the largest land owners
in the world, and his rents and royal
ties amount to stupendous and ever
increasing sum yearly.
Coal and oil lands form the chief
part of his holdings, and immense
tracts of oil shale lands, deposits of
phosphate, potash and other import
ant salts add greatly to his acreage.
The bureau of mines has supervision
over operation of more than a humid
red coal mines distributed through
eight states, and while at present,
mining on public land is over
shadowed by private industry, the
government mines are Increasing con-
stantly in Importance. In addition,
leases for one phosphate development,
one oil shale project and four potash
operations have been issued.
The growth of leasing operations
on oil and gas lands owned by the
government has been phenomenal
since the passage of the leasing act
in 1920. In the three years and two
months from February, 1920, to April,
1928, the bureau administered opera
tions involving 334 oil and gas
leases and 10,6OS prospecting per-
mits.
Revenues and rentals from these
and other leases have totaled about !
$24, 10000, a part of which has been |
turned over to the reclamation ser
vice to be put back on the land.

THRESHING BUT 90
PER CENT COMPLETE
HEAVY STRAW AND LABOR SHORT
AGE DELAYS-YIELD DOUBLE
THAT OF LAST YEAR

Threshing in Latah county is little
if any, over half finished, although it
has been in progress Tor almost a
month, according to farmers and
grain men, and it will require until
the first of October, with good
weather, to see the crop all saved.
The delay is due to the unusually
heavy straw which must be handled,
and to the fact that the crews gen
orally are running one or two men
short, delaying work somewhat.
In the district east and south Of
town less than half the threshing is
done, while west of town heavier in
roads have been made. H. G. Stiv
ers, of the WhiteDulany company,
drove through the district below Joel
Friday and stated that appearances
would indicate that scarcely any
had been done on the Gene
see side of the canyon. A farmer
who drove through from Garfield to
Moscow Thursday reported that not
more than half the wheat along the
road had been threshed.
Crop Double Last Year
The general expression heard is
hat the wheat delivery to Moscow
md nearby stations this season will
)e more than twice that of last sea-
;on. The yields seem to be averag-
ng close to 35 bushels, but 80 per cent
# the grain has more or less smut
n il. In some cases the smut is suf-
icient to require a heavy dockage,
While in other cases, the smut show
ng is small.
While there is comparatively little
elling, few carloads have been
ought and shipped out by the Mos
ow Union Warehouse campany and
he White-Dulany company, and the
nion has shipped out considerable
5heat on consignment, to make stor-
ge room, wheat pouring in to the
levator and warehouse in quantities
OF seen before in a number Of years.
Local market quotations have held
t the same figure for the past week
SO cents for club and S5 for red.
While there was a slight decline to-
ay on the Chicago market, it did
OF affect the coast, or local markets.

LEWISTON FIRM SHIPS
Big TONNAGE Of FRUIT

Fruit shipments from the down.
river orchards OF White Bros. & Crum
continue active and will last for an
other week or more. Up to the pre-
sent time the shipments of the early
fall season have included about 1870
cars of mixed fruits, 80 carloads of
peaches, and "A carloads OF plums, or
1S4 cars in all. Adding to this the
20 cars of cherries and other fruits,
such as apricots, peach plums and
early peaches shipped in June and
July, makes more than 250 carloads
for the season, with probably Is or
20 to be added. The total will prob
ably be not far from 275 carloads.
The fruits now being packed are
Alberta peaches, Italian prunes and
Bartlett pears, these concluding the
season. The fruit harvest of these
varieties in Charleston largely follows
that of the down-river orchards. but
overlaps to some extent In the same
way, the fruits in Lewiston orchards
follow those in Charleston. The same
firm packs and handles variety of
fruits in Charleston, but in Lewiston
orchards their orchards are confined
to apples, and they handle apples and
lettuce for other growers. They will
have the marketing this fall of about
$50 acres of head lettuce crops.
The firm has payroll of from
$75, 900 to 100000 in the down-river
orchards alone, and probably $4,000
or more in Lewiston, Charleston, and
Lewiston orchards, being both pro-
ducers and buyers, as well as ship
pers. The fruit market generally is
reported as fair, but slow Consum-
ers appear to be buying moderately

face lower prices, and the high price |

$3.50, 900 of war risk insurance re-
instated during the year and $2,412,-

COUNTY AGENT AID
IN FARM LIFE
ADVANCEMENT MARKED AND
COOPERATION GREATER WHERE
AGENT is AT WORK

Durham, N H.-(A. P.)-Signifi-
! cant changes tending to check the
economic trend which has been sap
ping farm life have been brought
about by county agent work in the
interest of better farming, according
to a report by J. c. Kendall, director
of cooperative extension work in the
University of New Hampshire. TAX
ing as a basis conditions in Sullivan
county, where in August ten years
ago county agent work was first be-
gun, Director Kendall points to
numerous developments which he at
tributes directly and indirectly to ex-
tension activities.
"In the first place, the spirit of
aloof individualism has very largely
gone" Mr.. Kendall says. People
in the old days used to go to meet
ings to scoff at the agricultural
specialist; now they stay and ask
questions. They used to think it was
a mistake to share their ideas on
farming with each other; now they
get together and discuss ways in
which they can cooperate to advant-
age.
but the advance has not been one
in spirit only" he adds, and points
to scores of new houses built accord
ing to extension recommendations
to standard feeding; the testing of
two score thousands of birds; and to
hillsides of Macintosh apple or
chards destined to the axe and saved
only by demonstrations that the scab
could be controlled.
The building up of cow-testing as
sociations, the tendency toward bet
ter sires, hundreds of alfalfa fields |
that yield three crops instead of two
farmers exchanges which do an an
1ual business in the state of $1,200,- |
700 are all evidences of the move
nent, Mr.. Kendall asserts.
Substantial results in making farm
ife more desirable for young people |
md their elders alike are also observ-
,ble. He points to better balanced
meals, more economical and attrac-
i've wardrobes, walls of more pre-
possessing appearance and kitchens
With modern conveniences Last year
$1,000 women worked together to
make each other dress forms of
.ummed paper, co-operated in MAX
ng patterns and helped each other
1ake fireless cookers.
In addition. Mr.. Kendall points to
oy's and girls clubs and asserts that
he significance of 1000 youngsters
in various farm and home
rejects is not to be easily waved

funds and preparing plans for the
building, certain incidental expenses
are inevitable, and to take care of
these, the citizens of Moscow were
asked to underwrite a fund of $4,000, |
