GOOD PROSPECT-WREN.

Edward Wren, of Fem, who
farm 1900 acres in that section,
Tuesday, gave out the follow
ing statement in Lewiston re-
garding crop conditions on the
prairie and he said that he had
never known crop conditions in
this region to be so favorable
for fall grain. He has 400 acres
in fall crops. He says that there
has not been as much moisture
as in the winter of 1921 and
1922, but that in that season
there were periodical heavy
frosts that caused the ground to
heave, uDrooting much of the
grain and honey-combing the
surface. The result was that
the stands became spotted OF
thinned out.
This season the growth is uni
form with the paintings wei.
rooted. Mr.. Wren is of the be-
lief that with further favorable
conditions here will be much
spring planting not heretofore
planned upon

PRAIRIE ALL RIGHT.

The editor of the Chronicle
this week received letter from
]. V. Nash, former business man
of this city, requesting us to
change his address to his new
location, Fort Dodge, Iowa,
where he is now employed by
the government in the internal
revenue department. The farm
ers who think times are hard
here have no complaint against
the country to offer according
to Mr.. Nash who says this class
is hit hard all over. A portion
of his letter, which we believe
will interest all, reads:
This is the country Of high
priced land but l find that under
present conditions the farmers
here with this high priced lane
do not make any more money
than the farmer on Camas
Prairie can make on his lane
and the farmer on Camas Prairie
has no reason to think it is the
fault of the country that he il

TIMBER RESOURCES IN
IDAHO ARE IMMENSE
laundering Industry Employs
Two-thirds Of Population in
State at Present Tine

Few people realize the maeni-
tude Of Idaho's vast timber re-
sources which is by far the
states must valuable asset, and
it lies, the largest portion Of it,
within our own door.
Idaho has 13O,O0O,0O0,OO0 feet
of standing saw timber. This
amount would build a sidewalk
ten feet wide of one-inch boards,
which would be long enough to
go around the world, at the
equator, 100 times, and long
enough to reach to the moon and
back five times. 1t is estimated
that the cost of taking this
timber from the stump, and
manufacturing same ready for
shipment costs $14 per thousand
feet B. M. This, of course,
would be paid to the bona fide
residents of our state being the
enormous amount of 81, ,820,000,-
600, which would be the equal
of employing an army of 10000
men at $5 per day 800 days d
year, continually for 121 years.
In addition to the above, the
lumber men Of Idaho would pay
out $390,000,000 for supplies
purchased locally, and consisting
largely of agricultural products.
At this time, the numbering and
forest industry of the state of
Idaho employ two-thirds of the
population of the state of Idaho
1t is estimated it employees one
eighth the adult male popula-
ton, and produces one-half the
manufacturing products Il
pays out $10,500,000 in wages
every year to residents of Ida
no. 1t pays out $2,000,00(
every year to resident farmers
for agricultural products. With
this data before you, one cal
more easily comprehend thu
value of the industry in future
years.

her home in Bellingham, Wash,

COMMUNITY SHIPMENTS.

Inc directors or the Farmers
Union have engaged the under
signed to take charge of their
livestock shipping department,
and see if there was not some
way whereby the hogs and cattle
shipped from this point could
not be handled more satisfac-
torily than it had been in the
past.
Now in order to make any
plan a success it will call for the
hearty cooperation of the pro-
ducers of this section. If the
man who raises and brings to
market the stock fatted on the
farm, will bunch their stock
through the union, it will give
your agent something with
which to work. This being able
to know each shipping day ex-
actly what he will have come in,
will enable him to place or sell
on the highest market.
am prepared to pay the high
est market price to all who do
not want to ship. But the idea
is to get the producers of this
section to cooperate, ship into
the market together, and save
for yourself the margin Of profit
that all buyers have to get.
The community plan of ship
ping viii not cost you any more
than it has in the past, but on
the other hand it will bring you
more money per pound for your
fat stock.
This has been proven wherev
er tried and is working success
fully along the Clearwater river,
in the Genessee country and
many other places where not
near the amount { f stock is mar
Ike ed, t.lan Is shipped from Cot
tonwood.
Personally | have lived on
Camas Prairie for over 80 years
and in all of that time my inter
ests have always been the inter
est of the producer. Being q
heavy producer myself / know
what the man on the farm has
to contend with.
In this community shipping
want your cooperation and youl
confidence. If you will give mt
these two things, we together
will make this movement sue
cess.
Everyone having hogs fol

The management and the gen.
eral counsel were further in
structed to proceed with the
collection from growers of over
advances during the disastrous
1920 crop movement. In some
Instances the first advance be-
fore the sensational price drop
that year was 20 to 80 cents
higher than the final average.
The contract provides that the
grower must make rebate in
such instances. Some growers
have refused to do so. Prosecu-
tion has been started in one OF
two cases snd now will be pushed

VOTE TO DECIDE WASH
INGTON GROWERS FATE
Wheat Body to Meet April 16-
Ballot by Mail-Disinc0rpO-
ration Not Looked For

Directors Of the Washington
Wheat Growers association at
the conclusion Of session that
covered two days and two nights
voted Monday night at Spokane
to call special meeting of sll
members at the head office
April 16 to discuss disincorpora-
ton. A two-thirds vote of the
entire membership OF approx
mately 5000 wheat growers is
necessary to disincorporate.
A secret ballot of the entire
membership will be taken by
mail. Two ballots will be sent
out at an early date. The bal
lots will be returned to the head
! office, and will not be opened
and counted until April 16, when
the members will appoint a COM
mittee to convas the vote.
"The directors do not expect
a vote in favor of disincorpora-
tion," said Mr.. Robinson, gener-
al manager. Fright after the
April 16 meeting a campaign will
be launched to sign up new men,
bers on contracts to run four
years, enforceable, howevc.
only when so per cent of the ton
mage of the state is signed up.
"Our present six-year con-
tracts have four years to run.
They will continue in force, in
the event it is decided to keep
the organization running, and
the directors voted to make the
new contracts terminate concur
rently with them"
While adhering to tie old con-
tract, the directors voted to
make it considerably more liber-
al and in this way they hope to
; placate any members who are
not entirely satisfied with it now
ana at the same time attract
present nonmembers into the or

ses with which they converted
some nifty close goals, started
right out after Moscow and al
most had her bewildered. The
game see-sawed for the first Is

of the half with only bare 3

The second half was a repeti-

Here Moscow called time for
consultation, and from then on
they made terrific rally which
carried them on to a hard earned
victory.
Nedros was on in good shape
most of the time on field baskets
but fell down on free throws
making 6 in II, not up to his
standard. The whole Cottonwood
team is to be commended on
their Play but Tackle and Shin
nick were most noteworthy.
The uncorking of their flashy
short passing play in this game
was some surprise to the Mos

who by comparative scores,
figured Cottonwood a set up.

Yesterdays Saturday semi
finals furnished some real thrill
lers. Lapwai and Culdesac had
a hard battle, with Lapwai
fighting an uphill fight as they
have during the entire tourna-
ment, and Culdesac winning by
a short lead. The Moscow-Cot-
tonwood game was the dope up
setter Of the entire tournament
for the scrappy Cottonwood
bunch very near took the
champs into camp and made
them go their limit with all first
team men in.
The playing of the Cotton
wood team against Moscow will
stay with the fans a long time.
Cottonwood's snappy short pas
sing game had Moscow guessing
the work Of Tacke in this game
was great, as were Shinnick and
Minis.
Moscow, the winner of the
final with Culdesac, will play al
the University of Idaho this
week for the championship Of
the state. Four teams, how
ever, revealed themselves to bt
very close contenders for the
title, these being Culdesac, Lap

KNOCK 'EM DEAD

The Cottonwood high school
basketball team with it's small
army of rooters returned Sun
day evening from Lewiston
where they took part in the dis

the district championship but
with honors that will live long
in the memory of the local high
school as we'll as the city in gen.
eral.
The Cottonwood high school
team, regarded as a weak con-
tender by some Of the wise ones,
for the district championship
sprang the surprise of the meet
and gave some Of the so-called
better teams the battle of their
lives. The local team also has
the honor of having one OF its
members. Raymond Tacle, sell
ected as one of the all-star play
ers of the tournament. The fol-
lowing is the account given of
the various games in which the
Cottonwood boys took part by
the Lewiston Tribune:

In game, nip and tuck all the
way through, and as scrappy as
was produced the first days
play, (Thursday) Cottonwood
team won over the Kamiah team
by 21 to 20 score, the win ccm-
ing from free throw at the end
of the game.
The score alternated during
the first half and Cottonwood

IN barring various real estate
concerns specializing in Muscle
Saoal property from Illinois, w. C.
Johnson, president OF the Illinois
Real Estate Examining Board, said:
There is nothing to warrant a
five by ten mile stretch of ground
now in use as a cotton field beng cut
up and sold as city lots on the
strength Of Henry Ford attempting
to secure possession of the power
rights Of a stream adjoining it. 1t
is absolutely a blue-sky proposition
and the instant we should issue lie
ense agents for this purpose the
state would be flooded with herd of
smco,h-tongued statesmen who would
make lots in Muscle Shoals territory
seem as desirable as lots just in
side the Pearly Gates.
The board has gone into the
situation thoroughly for several
months and are convinced that there
is nothing in this present cotton
field and the mounta inside adjoin-
ing to warrant its being cut into
town lots and sold at fabulous
prices"
The Wisconsin Real Estate BrolS-
ers Board took similar steps, bas-
ing its action upon precisely the
grounds stated by Mr.. Johnson
In New York, Boston and other
Eastern cities Muscle Shoals real
estate promoters have specialized in
selling property to employed wo-
men, a special drive being made
among school teachers. In practical

Henry Ford was certain to obtain

ouence, property in that vicinity

SPRING PLACE, Ca, May g.
Would a spirit from the life be-
yond the grave come back and
chisel his likeness on the tombstone
over the spot where his mortal body
lies buried?
For 10 years this has been the
question asked by those visiting the
cemetery here, near Dalton.
Back in 1873, Smith Treadwell Sr.
was buried. Natives say nothing
unusual occurred for 30 years. Then
slowly, but surely, the face seen in
the photograph took form on the
side of the tombstone.
1t now has reached what may be
allod perfect form. 1t is as closely
like photographs Of Treadwell as
two pictures can be, they say "a

someone on this earth done it?
No one has accounted for it as

in spiritualism by many of those in
these parts who heretofore have
