Local Forest
Permits Issued

Demand for summer range for stool
in excess Of the supply continues, ever
tho the prospects for better cattle
prices are none too bright. Accord
ing to Supervisor Carver permits fol-
21 800 cattle and horses and 7S,10t
sheep, divided among 500 owners, have
been approved for the grazing season
1924, ON the Minidoka forest reserve
During 1923 25S timber sales were
made which aggregated 385,000 feet
b. m. In addition. 1t is estimated
that 1875 users obtained 100000 feet
b. M for fuel, fencing, building, etc.
under free use.
For the past season a conservative
estimate shows that at least 5000
people visited the forest for sport and
recreation. The completion of the Oak
ley-Rogerson road would open up ad-
diuonal country and without doubt
the use by recreationists would more
than double. An earnest effort Is being
made to obtain funds for this project,
but at this date it is not known
whether or not the funds will be avail
able.
Approximately 5000 of the forest
receipts for 1923 will be returned to
the various counties in which the for
est Is located, for road and school pur-
poses.
There is bill in congress, sponsored
by stockmen, which provides that the
grazing fees should be fixed so as to
cover merely the cost of administra-
tion. or about 30qo of the present fee
Of IL cents per month per COW. There
is, however, another bill which pro-
vides that stockmen shall pay the COM
mercial value Of the forage. This bill
would increase the present fee about
300, making it 20 cents per month
per COW. If the first bill is enacted
INTO law the above $4,000 win be al
most wiped out; If the second, it will
De increased to about S14 900.

HOOPSTERS MEET
AT ALBION FOR
CHAMPIONSHIP
BURLEY, RUPERT, Filler, TWIN
FALLS. GOODING, JEROME,
CAREY AND HALEY HIGH
SCHOOL TEAMS IN BASKET
BALL TOURNAMENT

The district basket ball tournament
opened today at Albion in the Normal
gymnasium, and the high school teams
from Burley, Rupert, Filler, Twin Falls,
Gooding, Jerome, Carey and HALEY are
going thru course of elimation to see
which team goes to Moscow for the
state tournament.
OF the eight teams entered, Filler
and Burley are considered the most
likely contenders for the honor, altho
the dope bucket has been kicked over
a good many times In the past, and
it may be that neither team will be
the winner. The honor may 60 to
one of the other teams In the tourney
BY comparative scores the Filler and
Burley teams have by far the large
"edge' on the other teams with the
exception of Carey, which has a more
or less unknown team. Last year they
demonstrated some brilliant basketball
and it is very possible that a similar
performance this year will upset either
OF the other two formidable teams.
There will be three games each day
of the tournament starting this morn
ing and ending Saturday evening. The
tourney will be run on the double
elimination plan, meaning that two de-
feats will be necessary to disqualify
a team. Some exceptionally good bas-
ket ball is In store for the fans who
can attend, and as the roads In all
directions are in fine condition, 1t Is
expected that the attendance will be
large.
The annual state interscholAstie
championship basketball tournament
is scheduled to be held in Moscow at
the University of Idaho gymnasium
Friday and Saturday, March 14th and
18th. Basketball teams winning dis
trict championships In tournaments in
the seven districts into which the state
has been divided, will compete In the
meet at Moscow for the state title,
which last year went to the Moscow
high school quintet
Expenses of the teams entering the |
state tourney will be met as far as
possible with funds remaining after de- |
fraying all local expenses attached to |
the meet, to be pro-rated to schools |
from the south and southeastern sec
tions of the state. Members of visit |
ing teams will be housed in the var
ious fraternity homes on the campus |
while here.

NOT PARTISAN

Senator Capper of Kansas express
ed to the National Republican club in
an address at New York City, last
week, his confidence that President
Coolidge would punish all PERSONS
found guilty in the oil lease inyesti-
CATION. There could be only contempt,
he said, for those who would make a
personal issue out of a national shame.
The country has no patience with
attempts to make personal capital out
Of this sordid affair, Senator Capper
asserted. "The dirty dollar that would
defile the honor of government knows
no politics. 1t knows no distinction
of creed or party.
Authority at this hour has no par
ty to praise. 1t has no party to con-
denim. 1t is only duty to preform.
The country looks for that perform
ance under the leadership of Calvin
Coolidge in full confidence that every
strain upon the national honor shall
be purged and that the ends Of justice
shall be unsparingly served"

moths. They'll eat up everything.
The first thing I do in the mora

The next morning I again
spoke Of this nuisance and put on
my hat to walk to the druggists.
Bobby had gone out in the yard,
and just as I was starting out he
came running in and shouted:
Foxy Grandpa, the house isn't
the only place where there are
moths. They're even in an ant
hill out here"
How l did laugh when Bobby
told me this.
Bobby I gasped. "Are you
telling me a fairy tale? What
would moth be doing in an ant
hill? Ants don't wear wooden

That's all right, Foxy Grandpa.
