COMMISSIONERS ACTION
PEEVES NEZ PIERCE FARMERS.

There is a howl going up from the
Rimrock section of Nez Perce county
regarding the doing away with the
county agent of that county, W. w.
Skuse. While some of the ranchers
of that section have signed a petition
for the disseminating of that office, 1t
is understood that many signed who
did not really understand the situa-
ton.
A rancher who is very much in fa-
vOr of the retention of Mr.. Skuse,
stated that it cost the ranchers only
about 81 for each 160 acres of land
to pay the salary of the county agent
and that more than twice that amount
had been saved for each 100 acres on
the purchase of squirrel poison alone,
to say nothing of other services rem
dered in beneficial way to the grain
farmer. 1t is a fact, also, that the
U. S. government pays a certain por-
tion of the county agents salary,
which reduces the cost to the rancher
TO negligible sum.
The Latah county commissioners
voted unanimously to retain the coun-
ty agent. O. S. Fletcher, and they, as
well as the ranchers, certainly felt
that it would be money we'll spent.
and it is.-Genesee News.

To obtain conviction at least six

commanded the American forces in
Siberia. p
He has been called by the prosecu-

Conradi or Vorovsky. Mr.. Graves has
written considerably on the bolshevik

both the bolsheviki and their oppo-
