stalled at the bridge on the sum-
init.
This storm was general over south
ern Idaho. AT Jerome they had the
best rain they have had since a year
ago in September. From all points
come notes of rejoicing over the COM
plete and thorough breakdown of the
drought. The downpour was of such
nature, too that it sunk deep into
the thirsty soil and laid good foun-
dation for the winter SHOWS. Stock

THE EDITORS MAIL


It's a joy to open the morning s
mail of for no other reason than to
see what kind of crop of optimists
night has brought forth. An OPP
timist is a fellow who still thinks a
weekly newspaper editor will fall
for petty graft that may be matched
in the mind of the press agent.
What's this? A check? No. Just
a few one-cent postage stamps with
the following note: Dear Editor,
find enclosed a short article for your
next issue. Enclosed find stamps for
extra copies of you paper" The edi-
tor then proceeds to look over the
short article CD and finds it will
take just two columns and half to
run it. Then comes several letters
from the highway and agricultural
departments, the United States De-
partment of health, the temperance
board, the war department, the navy,
the civil service commissioners, the
national automobile companies, the

The weather has been uncommon
" warm and abnormal, no killing
frosts have occurred in some sec
tions up TO few days ago. Dis
patches stated that in Rhode Island
roses were still in bloom just re-
Gently. Forest fires have prevailed
where they have not been known
within the memory of man at this
season of the year. In many sec
tions the conditions were becoming
serious.
So there is an exact turning of
the tables between the western and
eastern parts of the country. Last
spring and summer while the west
was being parched and no rain fell
for weeks and even months, uncom-
monty wet weather prevailed
throughout the east and middle west.
Now the west is getting normal
precipitation and the east is not get
ting any.-North Side News.

TURKEY RAISING
BRINGS WEALTH

/. The turkey industry is proving to
be a source of much revenue to Cam
as Prairie. The close of the season
will see the bank accounts of people
in this county increased as a result
of raising turkeys.
Acurcate figures as TO the amount
shipped to date are not available, but
with one shipment of about 10000
pounds of dressed birds going out
yesterday and when it is known that
many others are shipping through
other sources, it can quickly be seen
that the total for the season will be
considerable. The price paid was
2615 cents per pound for the best
birds.
Swift & Co is the largest shipper
to date. They planned to send an
entire car from the Prairie, but
when the birds began coming In i'll

NO DEER HUNTING
ON KAIBAB FOREST

Rumors that hunting of the Kai-
bah deer herd has been put in effect
are absolutely unfounded says r. H.
Rutledge, District Forester of the In
termountain District of the Forest
Service, who is making Kaibab, Utah,
his headquarters while he takes per-
sonal supervision of the work of
trapping and Transporting deer from
the Kaibab Forest to other points
where these animals are needed for
restocking depleted areas. These I'M
founded rumors hav become 50 wide
spread that large numbers of pros
pective hunters are coming into
town every day in hope of having an
early opportunity of hunting in the
famous herd of 10000 deer that
range upon the Buckskin mountains
within the Kaibab National Forest.
Mr.. Rutledge states that in order to
test every possible method of dispos-
ing of the animals alive, it is quite
possible that no hunting will be al
lowed upon this area this year at
least. In any case, he states that the
public will be appraised of the fact
well in advance of the action and
that hunters will have plenty of time
to reach the shooting grounds be-

EAST SUFFERING
FROM DROUTH

The drought which prevailed over
the greater part of the western por-
ton of the country the past summer,
seems now to have been transported
to the east. The New England states,
many of the Atlantic sea board
states, and even some of the interior
states, Michigan in particular, are
now suffering from an unprecedent-
ed drought. The dry spell is unus-
ual considering the time of the year.
In some of the agricultural sections
the drought is preventing fall seed
ing of grains.

GALENA SUMMIT

Old Jupiter Pluvius is back home
in the Sawtooths and Wood River
Valley after his long period as a
Stacker. In the storm of this week
more than an inch of water came
down in rain and snow combined. At
Galena there were two feet of snow,
heavy wet snow, and it is estimated
that there were two and one-half
feet on Galena summit The tele-
phone wires were. down in places so
that complete reports are not yet
available. Ten inches of snow fell
at Flowers just above Ketchum.
