SCHOOL NEWS.

DR.. Elliott of the Lewiston Normal
school gave an inspiring address to
the high school today. He spoke on
/" Why Go to School In Idaho" This
is an important question, especially to
those of the Senior class, because this
year they must choose their future
school if they plan on advancing their
education. The fact that the pupils
were perfectly quiet during the speech
proved that all were interested. s'That
is the best speech that has been given
here in the last four years. remarked
one of the faculty members at the
close of the talk
The high school base ball nine will
play the Craigmont nine May 16. The
game will be played on the local dia
mond.

The commissioners of the Prairie
Highway district on Tuesday closed
negotiations with George 1. Lynn fol
the supervision of the highway con
srruction in this district during the
current year. Mr.. Lynn is closing uu
his affairs in North Dakota, where he
has been looking after farm interests
the past winter, and expects to be
here ready to take up the work in
about two weeks. Everybody knows
Mr.. Lynn is one of the best qualified
men for this job Lewis county ever
had, and it is considered fortunate for
the district that he is available at this
time. The board recently outlined
quite a program of road building for
the district, and this will be pushed
as rapidly as the available local la
Dor and equipment will justify.

FAST GAME GOES TO NEzprRcr

In thrilling game of base ball he
tween Nezperce and Orofino on N,
orofino grounds last Sunday. the Nez
percers romped away with the victorx
after most fans thought that Orof;ns
had the game on ice. When Neznaree
came to bat in the 9th inning. the
score stood SO against them. When
the smoke had cleared away and the
game was over, Nezperce had 7 scores
and Orofino 6.
! Ihe first part of the game was ex-
ceptionally fast. Nezperce put one
run across in the first inning when
Terry went to first after being hit
by pitched ball. Kinzer made a suc.
cessful bunt and advanced Terry To
second. Medyed hit grounder to
short, and Kinzer was forced out AZ
Ind Terry came in from 3rd when
II. Stellmon flew out to center field
NO more scores were made until the
9th, when Orofino took the lead by
putting two runs across. Nezperce
tied the count in the first of the 7th.
when Z. Stellmon took first after the
catcher had dropped the third strike.
Schlader singled and Stellmon went to
3rd. Terry grounded to shortstop and
Stellmon came in on the shortstop s
error. In the last half of the 7th.
Orofino copped four runs, making the
count 6-2 in their favor. Nezperce
came back in the Sth and put one more
run across, after r. Stellmon had land
ed on one for three-base hit. He
came in, when Henrichs flew out to
right field. Orofino failed to score
in their part of the sth.
When Nezperce came to bat in the
9th, the score stood 6-3 against them.
There was feeling among the players
that defeat is never certain until the
game is over, and, with a grim determ-
ination, E. Stellmon stepped to the
plate. He singled to left, and Schla-
der followed with two-base to deep
center. Stellmon scored. Terry sacri-
ficed, and Schlader went to 3rd. Kin
ger doubled to left and Schlader scor-
ed. Medved then clouted one out for
4 three-b base hit and Kinzer scored. r.
came to bat, with the score
lied and Medved on 3rd. Rettig, of
)rofino, took Eddy's place in the box
Stellmon landed on the second ball
,ver, for two-base hit, and Medved
cored. Orofino failed to count in
heir part of the 9th.

PREVENTING SPREAD FOOT AND
MOUTH DISEASE.
April 2e, 1924.
A. W. Mitchell,
Sheriff Lewis County.


Sheriff Lewis County.
Dear Sir:
To prevent the introduction of the
foot and mouth disease into the state
of Idaho, earnestly request that you
assist in the enforcement of the
state quarantine regulations. The
matter is very serious, for should this
disease get a foothold in Idaho the
state would not only lose its livestock
but would be bankrupt for years to
come. There is danger of infected
products coming into Idaho.
| desire to urge general cleanup
throughout the state. Rubbish and all
packing material should be burned,
garbage destroyed, and all carcasses
Immediately burned. The foot and
mouth disease is thought to have been
introduced into California through
garbage from the Orient. May I urge
again the necessity of keeping all
farm and city premises free from ae-
emulation of rubbish and animal
waste.
wish you would encourage the care
full disinfection of all cars coming
from California, as well as the disin-
fection of all clothing of all so-called
tramps" who may have recently
come from infected districts. Sheep
shearers and herders should also sub
]ect themselves and their clothing to-
disinfection and their shoes should be
burned or dipped.
Will you encourage the citizens of
your section not to order fruits, baby
cmcks, nursery stock and other BAN
ned livestock and agricultural pro-
ducts from California, in order that
tne disease may not be brought to the
state. Baby chicks may be ordered
through Prem Moore, state poultry
man, at Boise, who has listed number
OF hatcheries in Idaho.
Please give this publicity and ask
your officers and associates to repor,
AZ once any suspected products or carr
winch have not been disinfected. Pro-
aucts from California which are under
'ne ban should be destroyed.
thanking you for your cooperation |
N TINS matter for the protection of the
state, am,
Very truly yours,
G. G. Moore, Governor.
