fumbling and erratic passing
Rowland was high point man for
the Coyotes with nine field goals and
a foul try for 10 points. Lowell. sub

IDAHO FOREST
FIRE Loss LOW
FOR YEAR 1923
Last Season Show De-
struction of Timber to
Be Small; Favorable
Weather Helps

The forest fire situation within the
inicrmouniain district OF the forest
service was extremely favorable last
year according TO K. III. Rutledge, OF
the forest service. who has just COM
pieicd a review OF those statistics ior
the year 1928. Weather conditions
were favorable and the number 1i fres
was small At the same time the
efficiency OF the forest service in at
taoking was greatly improved duh-
ing the year and the smal area burned
over can be ascribed directly to this.
The total number Of fires in the entire
intermountain region last year was
200. number considerably below the
average OF the past ten-year period,
due largely to the favorable weather
conditions. There were no protracted
hot dry periods and the destructive
lightning storms which. in many years
cause so many scattered fires stimuli
taneously particularly in western Ida
no, were fortunately relatively few. AT
the same time there has been a graft
flying improvement in the attitude OF
the public in the matter of forest pro-
lection so that man-made fires last
year only amounted to 27 per cent OF
the total number. The average for the
last Is years has been SO per cent.
The reduction is due to a large de-
gree to a public appreciation OF the
dangers and tremendous destructive
ness of even small fires. at the same
time the fire fighting organization has
worked much more efficiently and
smoothly during the last year so that
only 4 per cent OF the fires in the in
termountain region exceeded 10 acres
in extent During the last IS years
there has been an average OF 20 per
cent OF fires OF this class. AS a par
ticular example of the strides made
by the forest service in controlling
forest fires may be mentioned the
Idaho National Forest which has

burned area of 10000 acres during
the period lo0S-192l. Last year "a
fires broke out or the Idaho forest, but
only burned over a total OF 100 acres.
through the development OF roads.
This great improvement is due in a
very large measure to more efficient
hre protection by the forest service
through the development of roads,
trails. and telephone lines which nave
opened up the backwoods, as we'll as
a better trained fire fighting force.
tits hoped that next year will show
even greater reductions on man-made
fires so that the forest service orga-
nization will only have to concern
itself to lightning fires which may be-
come very numerous in any year OF
many thunder storms.

Comprehensive reports on the traf-

Idaho. public utilities commission.
Copies OF the commissions detailed

According to this report, 29.SO4 car
loads of prunes were shipped from
this territory during II months end
ing October 81. May reports are miss
ing. Destination OF the shipments IS
not known but the character OF COM
modities is fully covered in the report.
"Many carloads might go over the
proposed route to California" is the
way the Idaho commission sees the
advisibil,y OF opening this new mar
ket. Unfortunately, the report does
not designate butter and egg ship

Practically every car OF these two
comodities would roll to California, II

One entire table is given over IN
the commissions report to compari-
son of rates over the existing route
and the proposed one to San Fran
cisco. The commission finds that the
distance from Ontario will be short
ened by 400 miles. Substantial freight
rates reductions. figured on mileage
basis. may be expected from construc-
ton of the new route. the commission
finds. On first class freight, the pres
ent rate is S3.44 as opposed to a prob
able rate OF $3.50 over the proposed
road. net reduction OF Sl.l4 per

OF shipment is also large factor in
the advantage offered by the proposed
route. Other classes OF freight show
proportionate possible net tariff re-
ductions.

That the central Oregon railroad,

by no means new is the assertion of
Robert Strahorn. western railroad
builder and we'll known to many Cald-
well citizens. In a duplicate letter to
r. T. Hurtt, secretary of the Com

that for many years he has advocated
such road. that he took the matter

Egg Association Hangs

Whether or not the ldaho-Orcgon
Egg Producers is to co-opertivdly
market eggs. not only from this terri
tory, but from ali southern Idaho,
will be determined within the next
week. unless 5000 hens are signed
with the association before next FRI
day. the association goes out OF busi-
ness and the old haphazard method OF
marketing eggs in this territory will
again prevail. Which means. it is
said, that in another six weeks, the
bottom will have dropped from the
local egg market.
How many hens have been signed
with the association at present is not
known except to Jess Gowen, acting
secretary. But is is well established
that this week must mark 4 tremend-
ous acceleration in the sign-up or the
required number will not be reached.
The 5000 minimum set by the asso-
citation is the lowest possible number
which will permit operation and far

roups OF workers canvassed that terri
tory Wednesday.
Various communities have not been
solicited as yet. Riverside, Middle

among those. From these districts,
considerable number OF hens are
expected and one more drive will
probably be made before February |
to fully cover this territory.
Laaye Producers Sign
Little difficulty has been encount-
cred in obtaining contracts from large
producers. Poultrymen with several
hundred hens generally recognize the
necessity OF an association, it is said,
because they more particularly know
the inability of marketing eggs without
the association help.
Some producers. members OF the
old association. confessed satisfaction
with results from the old association
but were unwilling to sign new con-
tracts because they objected to their
neighbors riding on their egg ticket .
Their viewpoint was expressed in the
declaration that the association had
done much to elevate local prices OF
eggs but that the non-association

be observed in all high schools OF the
state some time in April. which aims
TO "sell" Idaho's higher educational
institutions to her students, have been
completed, according to IN announce
ment from the Office of President a.

The fact that the PERCENTAGE OF
Idaho students attending their own

most every other state has resulted
in the formulation OF these plans,
which will be carried out under the
direction OF a genral committee COM
posed OF the state superintendent OF
public instruction. the president OF
the Idaho State Teachers association,
and the president OF the University OF
idaho.
Under the present plans every town
in the state will be solicited by the
committee for its cooperation and each
high school will be asked to observe
the program outlined for the week.
Features OF this program include:
Concrete Help
|. Special emphasis on vocational
training. Efforts will be made to
advise the high school student in re-
gard to his future occupation and to
acquaint him with the opportunities
to prepare for that occupation in Ida
no educational institutions.
2. The suggestion to each high
school TO make a member OF its facul-
ty special authority on courses avail
able and entrance requirements in Ida
ho institutions.
3. Holding OF public meetings in
all towns in the evening during that
week, where Idaho's opportunities
and resources, educational and other
wise, will be presented.
