PROSPECT BRICHTENS
Kamiah Progress Man Gladly Notes
Many Signs Of Improving Con-
ditions On Prairie.

Ralph Prescott summed up his oh
servations during several recent visit
to the prairie in last week IS issue O.
his newsy paper, The Kamiah Prog
ress. as follows:
The Progress editor made severa
trips to Nezperce and over the coun
trv north and east of the county sea-
the past week or tive. and we hav,
been pleased beyond measure to note
the advance that is being made in
farming methods SO generally and the
evidence of returning prosperity to
that section. At Nezperce we are told
that business this year during the
harvest is fully so per cent better
than last year, even though there is
not the large number of harvest hands
employed now as heretofore. The in
crease is more substantial and likely
to- be more permanent, since t/comes
from ranchers themselves who are
making financial gains from their
crops and stock. Every man we talked
with seemed in fine spirit over the
way things are looking.
Good crops of grain, with lessened
cost of production, and better prices
are proving a big factor in this re-
turning prosperity, but better farming
methods in the diversifying of crops
and raising more stock has also large
share in getting this result. A few
years ago one saw nothing but wheat
fields at this time of the year, the
prairie being one vast area of golden
grain. Now green fields of corn and
beans are to- be seen on every hand
while the grain now being harvested
contains a larger proportion of barley
and oats than has been known in past
years
While corn is in very early ex-
perimental stage in this upper coun-
try, several farmers who are trying II
out are having very good success with
it as forage crop and are of the
OplHlOH tHhC IL tuOJ hCCP db ~ q f"A
iety will be found that will mature
within the prairie's crop season. The
bean crop is one well adapted for sum
mer fallow land and there are hun
dreds of acres in beans this year, with !
prospects of a still larger acreage next
year.
Aside from the fact that we like to
see every community prosper, Kamiaa
has another interest in our prairie
neighbors as possible source of bust
ness The hill highway puts this var
ley in much closer relationship with
the upper country and we have many
products which they will find it an
advantage to buy from the valley pro-
ducers. So, we are glad of the bright
outlook they have in sight and hope
it will come in big chunks.

Down in their fine little farm south
of Kamiah Paul Corbett and his fam
lily are producing more dollars than
lats of people do on quarter section.
They raise variety of crops, without
irrigation, and spend much effort in
getting the best results. Their melon
crop is well known for its superior
quality, and this they are just getting
into the market.

PECULIAR ENFORCEMENT

Statements made in public re-
Gently by such distinguished men
as President Butler. of Columbia.
and former Judge Lands have re-
vivcd discussion. of the enforca-
bility of the prohibition law. The
fact that law is sometimes vio-
lated is not evidence that it is not
a good law, or that it has not that
measure Of popular support which
il usually deemed essential. All
laws are violated occasionally, yet
some OF them are very good laws.
and ARE really representative Of tho
sentiment of the great majority
Some of the critics of the prohibi
ton law say that it is so repugnant
to the sense Of the majority that il
cannot ever be enforced except in
IL slipshod and half-hearted man
ner. The laws defenders say that
while it is violated, t is sufficiently
enforced to demonstrate that it has
Il sufficient measure of popular
support to warrant its retention on
the statute books.
Not only are the manufacture
and sale OF intoxicating beverages
| unlawful. but the manufacture and
sale Of materials and appliances
manifeStly intended to promote
violations are also illegal. Some
prohibition authorities have gone
SO far as to declare that the sale
OF certain commodities in quite
general use for other purposes be
banned unless the purchaser could
show satisfactorily that he did not
intend to use the M, in the manu-
facture Of prcnibi ell beverages.
