TRACK men SHOW
BIG IMPROVEMENT
IDAHO DECLINES ENTRANCE In
RELAY FIRST
MEET NAY 4.

The first engagement in the track
season is near and the prospects are
far from bright but since the arrival
of spring, making outdoor work pos
sible, the squad is showing consider
able improvement. The first confer
ence contest is the relay carnival at

Grove who made their letters in the
cross country meet with Washington
State last fall, are the next in the
line of seniority. The squad contains
also some candidates left over from
last year
The Vandals appear to be weak in
nearly all events except the mile run.
While Coach r. L. Mathews is try
ing to mould a presentable squad out
of the material at, hand, other mem
bers of the, coaching staff are work
ing with the freshmen. The young
sters have a fair sized schedule lined
up, which Will call Tor cOnSlderaDle
ability.
Both squads are working overtime
and getting into shape for the first
meet, which will probably be against
Washington State, May 4. Although
prospects are far from satisfactory
at present Idaho still has. chance,
competition in the coast con-
ference will be the closest in years.

transcontinental freight rate on SO
important commodities went into eff
feet Tuesday with the refusal of the
interstate commerce commission to
order their suspension at the request
of Pacific coast cities.
The rates effective are from Chica-
go and middle west territory to the
Pacific coast, and while similar re-
ductions from the far east have been
ordered they will not become effec-
tive until date is announced by the
railroads.
The new reduced rates will mean
an annual saving of 100000 to the
Spokane district, and literally mil
lions of dollars will be saved each
year in the entire western district,
according to G. O, Bergan, traffic
manager of the Spokane Merchants
association in a statement given the
Spokane Chronicle.
Pacific coast jobbers requested the
suspension of the rates on the
grounds that it gives intermountain
district shippers an unfair trade ad-
vantage The order of the interstate
commerce commission closes the mat
ter unless formal complaint is filed

MOORE REAPPOINTS
TAYLOR ON BOARD
COEUR D'ALENE LUMBERMAN is
NAMED FOR FIVE YEAR TERM
APPOINTMENT APPROVED

Huntington Taylor of Coeu1
d'Alene, northern Idaho lumberman
has been reappointed a member of
the state board of education by Gov
ernor Charles c. Moore. The appoint
ment is for the term of five years
and dates back to April 7, the date
when Mr. TayIor's first term as board
member expired. Satisfaction with
the appointment has been expressed
in Moscow.
Governor Moore was asked if the
reappointment was made in order to
keep intact the present board of edu-
cation in view of the effort made in
the last legislature to change it en-
-tirely, and of the elimination of ap-
preparation for commissioner of edu-
cation.
Northern Man Necessary
mot so much that" replied the
chief executive, "as to insure the
northern part of the state having it's
two representatives on the board
There has been rather insistent de-
mand for a southern representative,
but I was convinced that the north
is entitled to its two places and
should keep them.
cit is only logical to assume, how
ever, that the board may function
with less difficulty after the COM
leaves if there is no change
in personnel, than if new horse had
to be broken to harness."

FRANK |. MOORE TALKS
ON CAMPAIGN ISSUES

campaign was held last night at Egg
gans hall, by the Peoples ticket
nominees. The meeting was attended
by a fair-sized audience.
Frank L. Moore, nominee for mayor,
was the speaker of the evening and
held the attention of his audience for
more than an hour. He dealt largely
with law enforcement matters, especl-
ally as..related to the enforcement OF
the eighteenth amendment. He
claimed that the liquor laws are vio-
lated and urged the election of the
Peoples ticket nominees at the cleo
tion next Tuesday, April "a.
In his talk Mr. Moore referred to
the Ku Klux Klan, and stated that
while he is not member of the or
ganization, he was in accord with the
principles of the organization as set
forth by speakers who have visited
the city.
So far no other public meetings
are scheduled by either ticket for the
campaign. Supporters of the two tic
kets, one of which is headed by Mayor
H. Melgard and the other by Mr..
Moore, are busy getting the vote re-
gistered. Up to the time of going to
press this evening the registration
was slightly above the thousand
mark. The total vote at the city
election two years ago was 1885,

Sheep Raising Spurred
by Advance in Prices

"The farmer who has the equipment
and feeds at hand should be eneour-
aged in raising lambs says Phil A.
Anderson Of the animal husbandry d.
vision, University of Minnesota. But
farmers entering this field should go
slowly at first and study the require
ments very thoroughly" he adds.
Mr.. Anderson makes the foregoing
statement in view Of the greatly In
creased interest exhibited in sheep pro-
duction the last few months, which has
been brought about by advancing
prices for wool, steady lamb market
and good profits made in feeding lambs
during 1921-1922.
Stocks Of wool, which accumulated
during the war and Immediately after,
have now been converted into merchan-
disc. Manufacturers short Of mill sup
plies and eager to keep the mills going
have become anxious to buy, causing
the price to go up.
prices Of lambs have been at S12 to
SIS per 100 pounds for a long time,
with a variation Of 81 to $3.50 for
shorn lambs" says Professor Anderson.
Such prices should be an inducement
for many farmers to have flocks of 25
to 35 ewes or more which will consume
green food perhaps otherwise wasted
and convert 1t into marketable
product. With wool and market stock
high in price, because Of decrease in
the number of sheep in the United
States and the action of the new pro.
tective tariff, our sheep breeders can
surely compete with the breeders of
other countries"

BELLE ISLE HARD TO REACH
Mariners Dread to Approach II
Through Treaeherous Bay Of Bis
cay, Owing to Swift Currents.

Belle isle is rocky islet juttlng out
of the Bay of Bfscay off the Brittany
coast. While Belle isle is but ten miles
from shore, the water is so rough that
few people care to risk the passage.
The Bay of Biseay has always been
the dread of mariners because Of the
high tides, fierce currents and danger
Gus reefs.
Belle isle was inhabited from early
times, for the remains Of rock struc-
lures made by the Druids are numer-
Gus. Later, the Romans occupied 1t as
an outpost OF their empire. Then 1t
was held for a long period by a Catho-
He monastery. In 1851 the British cap
tured the island, after a long siege,
but 1t went back TO F.ance soon after.
Napoleon started to fortify Belle isle,
but never finished the job. Dumas, in
1.-THE Three Musketeers," tells how the
gigantic Porthos labored with the
great rocks used for the earlier foun-
datlons.

Great Value Of Adding
Protein to Hog Ration

The value of adding protein to a
ration, even when pigs being fattened
for market have the run of a good
alfalfa pasture, was shown in test
conducted by the Kansas experiment
station last year. One lot was fed all
the corn it would eat, in addition to
alfalfa pasture. The other lot was fed
all the corn it would eat plus one-fourth
of a pound of tankage per head per day
In addition to alfalfa pasture. The pigs
in the lot receiving no tankage made
gain of "a pound per day at cost of
$685. per 100 pounds of gain. The pigs
In the lot receiving tankage made
gain of 1.25 pounds per day at a cost
Of $4.99 per 100 pounds Of gain. The
addition Of one-fourth of a pound of
tankage per head per day on alfalfa
pasture reduced the cost of gains So

Vaccinating Cattle to
Prevent Shipping Fever

Although still in the experimental
stage, the vaccination method of treat.
ing cattle to prevent their contracting
hemorrhagic septicemia has reached
such a degree Of perfection that 1t is
now in use by the United States De
partment of Agriculture.
Until the method has been more
thoroughly tried out, the department
will furnish vaccine produced in iu
laboratory and also trained veterinar
ians who will give the treatment al
actual cost.
Losses from this disease have been
steadily increasing for several years
During the past fall and winter the
disease became more prevalent an6
virulent than ever before. 1t is most
likely to show itself among animals
shipped lone distances, although II
occasionally attacks those that have
never left the home place.
