oREGoN's FAMOUS DOG 'BoBBIE

A collie dog of Silverton, Oregon,
who having lost his master in Indiana
and when his master had given up
all hopes of ever seeing him again,
returned on foot to the old home,
foot sore and weary, having travelled
5000 miles across seven states in
winter.
The dog who but few months
ago was just plain collie, has now
become nationally famous. He has
been given the freedom of his home
city, although there is an ordinance
which bars dogs from the streets. He
was presented with silver medal
by the Oregon Humane Society,
while all the school children honor
ed him with a great reception.
Mr.. Brazier, the owner of the
dog has had many offers from NOV
ing picture concerns to film Bobbie's
trip across the continent. The Co
lumbia Feature Film Syndicate Film
Synicate of Portland, Oregon, was
organized to make a three-reel pic
ture which will depict adventures in
tn life of a dog who lost his master,
is freindless, foot-sore and unhappy,
with his home one thousand leagues
toward the sunset. Millions will be
permitted to see Bobbie, who will
appear in person" with the picture
in all larger cities.

PIONEERING FOR OIL

In discussing the necessity To-
unusual financial reward as lnceh
tive for pioneering in oil exploration
and development work, Preslden
Shoup of Associated Oil Company
says; 80 >.
"The highly productive life OF
most wells is very short, and TINS
is particlarly true with the wells pro
ducing the lighter oils from winch
we derive the major part OF oui
gasoline. A well begins to drop ID
its production within a few days
after it is brought in, and day by
day it contributes less and less OF
oil to the market.
"There is, therefore, tremen-
dous and Overwhelming need Tor a
continuance of this pioneer work OF
exploration.
"Can you imagine that men would
be willing to risk the millions neces-
sary if the reward to them were
measured in the same way that we
measure interest on a bond, or
dividend on some well-seasoned
stock, if its control rests in admins
tration through political channels?
Never was there an industry THAI
needed more freedom in action, less
interference from those who have no
either for the volume
of production of for the wealth that
is to be jeopardized in finding that

STRONG POSITION OF
LUMBER INDUSTRY

The lumber industry takes an i'm
portant place among the basic in
dustries of the Nation. The lum-
Der production of the United States
in 1928 is estimates to have been
between 3S and 40 billion feet
The lumber cut of 1920, accord
ing to figures available was valued
at $1,000, 100000 at the mills.
In the same year the total expendi-
lures for forestry and all forms OF
foret protection, 9th public and
private, was $17,000,000.
Total mill value of lumber cut In
1919 was s1,044, 100000 and in
1921 about 100000
Census figures for 1921 show the
lumber group of industries as third
in the list of IA general groups. In
number of wage earners, as in 1919.
and seventh in value of products.
Labor's part in the industry is a
very large element, the affording Of
steady employment being of ire
inendous Importance. All move
ments looking toward the conserva-
ton OF the timber resources through
an organized forestry policy requires
the cooperation of all citizens.

SCHOOL MEETING

At meeting of the School Board
held on Monday, May II, a repre-
sentative delegation of citizens re-
quested that the matter of retaining
the subjects of Commercial, Domes-
tic Science and Manual Training, and
also the re-introduction of Music
and Art be submitted to a vote of
the people.
The School Board had previously
decided to eliminate these subjects
for reasons of economy. To continue
these subjects including Music and
Art, will involve an increased levy
of four (4) mills. 1t is hoped that
the qualified voters will avail them
selves of this opportunity of express
ing their opinion on this important
matter.

CRUELTY OF TRAPPING

Three trappers who lost their
lives in a western state by breaking
through the ice and drowning re-
vealed some of the cruelties of trap
ping fur-bearing animals that should
shock wearers of furs.
The government investigation
showed that these three trappers had
a circuit of traps on a round OF
thirty miles, and each of the three
visited ten miles of traps once In
ten days to reset the TRAPS.
For the ten day period some of the
traps held fast animals like foxes,
wolves, and other wild life, some
times owls and eagles, in the steel
traps, slowly starving, differing, dy-
ing and freezing
There should be a regulation Of
this matter, and traps should be at
tended at least once day, and there
is plenty of cruelty left then to sat
isfy the most unfeeling human who
engages in this business.

MORE FORESTS
BURNED THAN CUT


Government figures show that in

ratio OF burning to cutting is nearly
two to one.
During 1923, there were 51.Se1

an aggregate area of 1880. 600
acres with financial loss in acres of

Some idea of the extent of this

the fact that it is eight times the
acreage OF French forests DESTROYED
or damaged throughout the world
War-and this, too, in one year!
only rs states are making definite
efforts to protect their forests lands
aggregating 100000 acres. from

little more than cent an acre and
not enough to weigh heavily on any

Ell ITORIAL AND CARAVAN

fixed July 9 as the date for the an
nual convention of the ASSOCIATION a

ness of the organization or for slght-

yention the editors are sponsoring

Grangeyille, in which the Idaho A.
A. A. will participate. 1t is hoped
the executive committee announces
that there may be 100 autos IN the
caravan. Such movement of cars
over the highway connecting the ex-
tremes of the state, it is believed,
will attract national publicity ana
at least will have the result OF IN
forming the people of Idaho as 10 tne
route and its scenic grandeur.

die of July, the executive commit
tee announces because it is felt the
raods will then be in the best condl-
ton. Moreover, the possibility or

May, and even June, rain often talls
i'm sufficient volume to make noun
tain travel unpleasant.

tee is for the caravan to rendezvous
at Weiser, the Kiwanis club OF when
city is planning an entertainment Tor
the evening of July 7. The caravan

for LUNCHEON and a whirl over the
lake as guests of the Mccall Com
mercial club The party will leave
Mccall at $3.50 and drive through to
approximately 100
miles, that afternoon. From Grange
it is expected a drive will be made
to Moscow and Lewiston Undoubted-
ly it is stated, some members of
the party will desire to tour north
Idaho, but the compact movement Of
ear will end at Grangeville.

Attention now centers on the Re-
publican platform to be written at
the Convention in Cleveland, June
10th. If the will of the President is
followed in making UP the platform,
it will be decided victory for the
people of the country. The people be-
lieve that Calvin Coolidge under
stands what they want, that he is
ever mindful of their interests, and
it is because of this that platform
inspired by the President will be
essentially a platform of the char
acter desired by the voters of the ma
ton. The recent action of the voters
throughout the country has demon
strated that the people are deter
mined that President Coolidge suc-
coed himself. The primaries inst
held in California and Indiana. where
Coolidge secured notable victories
bring out most forcbily the desire of
the voters. 1t shows that the peo-
pie no longer look upon Coolidge as
a President by act of divine Provi-
dence or accident; they recognize in
MIN the man who is to lead the Re-
publican hosts this fall. He has now
won by his own acts the position of
leader of the Republican party. An
analysis of the votes of all the States
that have recently held primary
election shows that Coolidge is the
direct choice of the people. This fact
must be admitted by even the old
fashioned politician.
The platform undoubtedly will
embrace the following subjects. tax
reduction, strict economy in the ex-
pehditure OF public mney, active aid

need help, and such other blanks as
