ters. DR.. Harrison s .expository ser
mons are designed to educate as well

form by the publication society of the
Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.

the hearts of the people by her strik-
ing music on the piano and her heart
searching solos.

over the prairie section, and his sterl-

On Friday January rs the Nezpere'
High School team win play Craigmont
here. We expect this to be good
game Craigmont has fairly goos
team. The admission win be fifteer
cents for children and thirty five fol
adults.
The next night, Saturday, January
26, the Nezperce team meets Grange
vile on the home floor. The admis.
sion to this game win be twenty five
and fifty cents.
Every person in Nezperce should
see both of these games. Even
though we did get beat by few
points last week there 8 no reason to
feel bad about it because it was an
experienced team that did it and
since it was a Washington team, the
game doesn't count in the conference
games. Our team stands in the lead,
but as Grangeville is strong CON
tender we need the support OF every
one to keep us at the top. Both
games will begin at $3.50 sharp.

Now at the same time the Canadian
farmers with the aid of their govern

lutely wrong; but in Canada it seems
to work fine. There they are almost
back to pre-war basis. They have a
rate of IL cents to their coast, while
our rate is 26 cents. Here is saving
of nine cents. They also have cor
responding cheap rate east. This eats
up nine cents of your tariff. But
still the 81 cents per bushel ought to

The profits of our roads under ex-

A few days ago I tried to sell
butcher hide. He informed me that
if it was the right age and weight
which would be known as "dp'
leather. they would pay three cents
pound for ia; otherwise they didn t
want it at all. For over three years
now we have given them the hides,
and you all know what prices shoes
are selling at, and if you can get a
pair on which the soles win wear over
three months you are lucky guy.
And for wee, sma dollar you can
get two large slices of that high priced
hide tackled on.
There is a reason for all this. Can
you guess what it is Yes. capital
and politics.
There is a political game to be
pulled off next fall Are you trying
to get posted? Are you watching |
congress and our president right nowg
Now is the time to wake up and learn.
Next summer and fall you will be
hard and long hours, and not
being previously posted, you will walk
iown to the polls and put yourself in

Is there a remedyf
Yes: Don t try to kill off capital

Yes: Let each play fair and

By putting men in office who win

Cows and Poultry Paw

r. P. Chapman of the Living
Spring country in Prairie county, is
a booster for diversified farming and
he tells how for the last two years
his grocery bill has been paid by
his COWS and poultry-less $40 that
he had to pay last fall when harvest
ing.
Hogs and corn, COWS and poultry,
he claims, will be the salvation of
this section eventually, and he says
that those farmers who won't see it
might as well give up now as later.
Mr.. Chapman had about six acres
of corr last year-but this year he
expects to have at least so acres,
which he will feed to his pure-bred
black ~Poland-China hogs. He be-
lieves that Northwestern dent is the
corr best suited to this section, it
having matured for him every year
since he started growing it in 1921.

of grasshoppers.
They Immediately started back
with a train but were met by In
dams and were compelled to come
around by Landers cutoff and the
Snake river. Bozeman went back
to Missouri and succeeded in get
ting another train to follow him in
1864.
Jim Bridger, who took a wagon
train out several weeks ahead of
Bozeman, denounced the Bozeman
road as impracticable, He took
his train west of the Wind River
mountains and the Clarks Fork
and reached the Yellowstone first,
but his road into the Gallatin val
ley up Shields river and Bracket
creek and down Bridger creek was
so circuitous hat Bozeman reach
ed the Gallatin valley ahead of
him. However, Bozeman fingered
there until Bridger overlook him
and they then raced their trains
from the West Gallatin into Vir-
ginia City, reaching that place
within a few hours of each other.
For the purpose of protecting the
Bozeman cutoff the government
later built Forts Reno, Phil Kear-
ney and c. F. Smith, but abandon
ed them after the massacre of Fort
Phil Kearney, and the road was
closed to travel.
In April, 1867, while going over
this trail, Bozeman was killed by
Indians on the Yellowstone.

members hold is an adverse eff
feet, resulting to the state from
al article by Garet Garrett, econ
omist writer, in the last issue of
the Saturday Evening Post. In this
article the author purports to re-
view conditions in Montana and
other northwestern states and
leaves with the reader what the
association asserts is an unjustified
impression of the outlook in the
affected territory.
Announcement of the action con.
templated by the association was
made by l.. E. Jones, secretary Of the
organization. Mr.. Jones stated that
during the last several days requests
have been coming Ia from over the
state by mail, telegraph and long dis

view to correcting the damaging eff

organized an escort of so men, and
on July 7, 1862, the train started
out from Fort Abercrombie, on the
Red river, 255 miles northwest OF
St. Paul.
The train consisted of liz men,

the train broke up, the emigrants

proceeded to Walla Walla, where it
arrived November /.
Several other trains followed
this initial train in the few years
following but the northern route
never attained the prominence
gained by the South Pass, Or Ore
gon Trail.
In the winter of 1923, John M.
Bozeman, after whom the city of
Bozeman was later named, with
John M. Jacobs, left Bannack for
the states with the idea of hunting
out a shorter emigrant route than
the roundabout one through the
South Pass and the Snake river
country. They were set afoot by
the Sioux in the Powder river
country but finally got back to
Missouri in a starving condition
