A situation tina. for years has been
discussed by state officers, publicists
editors, women's clubs and those inter
ested in humanitarian movements in
Idaho, may soon be corrected
Almost three hundred prisoners In
the Idaho penitentiary have been with
out employment during their incarcer- .

prison has for two decades been then
scene where scores of men each dayd
have tried TO forget their troubles andn

surrounded by the grim, gray wallsv
Of the yard. 70
For four years Governor Davisir
gathered information from prisons of
the United States on prison employ
ment and a scheme for working the
prisoners was handed his successor. |
Governor Moore was as determined |
as his predecessor that the system or /
idleness was inhuman-cruel. Monday

house of representatives to correct /
the situation. 1t came from Represen- /

WHEN THE INDIANS WE'RE
HOSTILE TO THE WHITES
Story of Nez Perez Indian Massacre;
Chief Tendoy With the
Scout Party

One of the stirring periods Of In
dian warfare against the white invad-
er in Montana was in the SUM mer of
1877. when Chief Joseph and his band
OF Nez Perez warriors made their
memorable march across Idaho into
Montana territory, and fought Gener-
al Gibbons command to a standstill
in the battle of the Big Hole, which
came near being a repetition of the
Custer disaster. Between the battle
Of the Big Hole, fought August 9.
1877, and the time of thhe surrender
of Joseph to General Miles in the Bear
Paw mountains in October Of the
same year, there were many thrilling
incidents. One of these was the Horse
Prairie massacre, which is described
by Alex Cruickshank, at that time a
young man serving under General How
ard as a scout in pursuit of the hos
tiles and who helped to bury the
dead after killing of the whites at
Horse Prairie creek. Mr.. Cruickshank
was well known by many people in
the Salmon river and Lenhi valleys.
He lived at Junction, near Leadore.
up to the t'rle IF his death some years
ago. The following narrative was Sc

before his death by George R. lie IN
Of Dillon. and the story is reproduced
herewith because of the many parts
that are of interest to the people liv-

We had gone but a short distance up

who made us understand that the Nez

freight outfit on Birch creek the night
before. The Chinese, who had been
with the freigh+ers, were unable to
tell us much about the massacre. The

who had been sent ahead, returned
with reports of fresh Nez Perez signs
Up the trail This caused the Lemhis
to hold a war dance. The result of
the council was the decision to leave
to Colonel Shoup the question of
whether we should follow the hostile
reds and possibly stir UP a hornets

said:

STRIPPED GEARS
CAN Be AVOIDED
No Novelty to Hear Grinding
When Careless Driver Starts
His Engine.
(By ERWIN GREER. President OF
Greer College of Automotive
Engineering Chicago)


There is nothing more exasperating
TO the motorist than that horrible
sound which tells story of stripped
gears
1t Is not in the permanent mesh
gears, where shaft motion is turned
into axle motion that the trouble
comes If the rear axle gears are
properly set and packed, they should
never make any trouble But 1t is In
the shifting gears OF the transmits
sion, where gears come into mesh at
varying rates Of speed and with the
number of revolutions, load and sew
eral other things to complicate the
situation, that there is wear and tear.
fIt would not be so bad If there were
only wear. The tear ls what raises
havoc
II Is no novelty TO hear a grinding
or clashing within a car when q care
Iless driver starts or when he changes
from one speed to another II such
IA driver knew what was going on In
tside of 1t when this unseemly noise
occurs, he would hire a chauffeur or
else take few lessons in automotive
mechanics to learn how not to abuse
.his machine in this way. II the driver

MsSALIGNED WHEELS
QUICKLY WEAR TIRES
Many Miles of Perfectly Good
Service Thrown Away.

Thousands of perfectly good miles of
tire service are thrown away actually
by motorists It Is all done innocently
on the part Of the car owner through
misalignment of wheels.
Although the wheels are out of line
no more than a quarter of an inch, the
resultant damage will be death for the
tire before 1t has given nearly all of
the service which was built into 1t by
the manufacturer.
When misslignment Is extremely bad
the motorist must notice it, but In the
out an accurate test. Most up-to-date
tire service stations are equipped with
specially constructed instruments for
testing alignments. Many gas filling
stations also use them while the car
Is stopped to be filled with gasoline.
Almost any tire service station will
test alignment for the asking and will
be glad to point out and correct the
cause OF trouble.
When wheels are out of line for any
reason, the result is scraping which
quickly wears away the tread surface.
Instead Of running straight ahead and
accepting the natural traction surface
friction, the tire Is compelled virtually
to skid along sideways.
This condition frequently Is the fault
OF bent axles, but not always 1t may
be broken springs, loose spring
shackles, sprung frames, loose steering
knuckles, bent pinlons. wornout bear
ings or wabbly wheels.

When the car is standing the en-
CINE is running in neutral and no gear
on the transmission shaft is engaged.
To start. ii is customary to discon.
meet the engine by disengaging the
clutch and to move the lever so that
the gears that give the slowest speed
will engage. Once the car is under
way and 1t Is desired to increase the
speed, the lever Is showed forward,
moving the transmission gears for
ward until the gears that give second
speed are engaged.
The wise driver, just at the instant
of shifting the gear, would throttle
down his engine one-half and bring
the number of revolutions of the gear
shaft to approximately that Of the
transmission shaft, which is kept In
motion by the momentum Of the car.
He will also stop for an instant In
neutral before completing the shift to
allow for adjustment. When both
gears are revolving at about the same
speed, the shift is practically noise
less and frlctionless.
In shifting to high speed the en-
gine should be throttled more closely

Is sure to strike the body Of the other

that is splashed will only strike the

While the cost of the necessities OF
life has declined considerably since
the peak of prices was reduced in
June, 1920, a survey by the bureau OF
labor statistics of the U. S. depart
ment of labor shows that the cost of
living is now almost 70 per cent great
er than it was few months after the
war began in 1914. Nearly every,
thing that enters into the mainte.

far above the prices of the cost of liv-
ing little less than ten years ago.

PROPER USE OF CAR BRAKES
Driver OF Automobile Should Learn to
Judge Distance and Allow Machine
to Coast.

An operator OF an automobile should
rarely use his brakes, except for an
emergency stop or on hill Learn TO
Judge the distance, and allow the car
to coast to the point where the stop Is
to be made. This saves the brake lin
ings and joints in the brake mechanism,
SO they will last almost indefinitely.
