THE ChALL|S PUB
Lie SCHOOL FORUM

We encourage the students Il
think and express their thoughts on
public measures. Recently bill wal
introduced in the legislature of Ida
no, providing for the reading of the
bible each morning in the public
school.
The measure was made the subject
of class theme.
The following are quotations from
two of the themes:
81 think a law should be pass
ed requiring the Bible to be read
in the public schools every morn
ing because the reading of this
kind of literature, provides the
essential clemens of character
and life duties. One who reads
the Bible learns of right and
wrong and is likely to be led in
to the right state of being or the
right road through life. Several
states of the Union have passed
this law and are beneftting from
it. Students will learn more
from the Bible than from other
books in preparing for good CIT
izenship and the duties of life"
Every few people who read the
Bible commit crime and many
crimes are committed by young
people. They do not take time
to read the Bible and if it were
read in school every day they
would get something from it for
it contains many valuable lessons
in every chapter and if it were
read and taught in school the
young people would get them"
The development of iniative, of a
feeling of responsibility for group
welfare, of self control and self gui-
dance inright doing in a bog or girl
is a difficult task, but to have boy
stage one real fight with himself for
right conduct, that has been self-inia
ted and not imposed by outside au-
thority. will do more to build real
character and strength than 20 inhi-
billions projected from without.
The lock step, the ''ipse dixit" of
is the way of least resist
ance for the teacher but it turns out
A race of weaklings and moral cow
ards. We are aiming at the method
hat builds strength of character in
'uture men and women S. A. w.

CENTRAL IDAHO Mines ARE BOOMING !!
(Western Mineral Survey

After a period of lethargy dating
back to the period before the wal
the mining district of Central Idaho
lis awakening to new era of devel
opment which it is believed may
bring production rivaling that of the
rich Occur d'Alene section in the
northern partsof the state, the pros
perity of which is indicated. by divi
idend disbursements for the year OF
total of 1852, 900.
The recent demand for silver, lead
and zinc is mainly responsible for
the noticeably revived interest In
mining development. Leasing of the
Red Bird mine by the Ford Compa-
ny had its effect on the mining activ
tiles of that section of the state.
Although many of the larger pro-
perties have been steady producers
a combination of handicaps, mainly
a DEPRESSED metal market, has had
it's existence The Red Bird is To-
Gated in Custor County on small
tributary. of the Salnon river, com
monty called Squaw creek.
The mine was first "pay dir"
claim, struck by Pat O'Connor, an
old stage driver, 1879. Four years
later O'Connor sold his claim to the
Clayton company of Chicago and
Omaha. for consideration of $751;
900. The new owners erected
smeiter on the property, and for more
tIanAtwenty years the mine gave up
millions in high grade ore
When the led and silver market
touched bottom in the later nineties,
the pronertv fell into the hands of
lawrence Greene. who in urn oper-
ated the mine several ve9rs. He
finally G~ld # 70 robert n Bell at

directly called the attention of the
Ford interests to the property.
Since leasing he mine a few weeks
ago, a campaign of activity has been
heretofore unheard Of in
the quiet mining settlement of Gen.
trail Idaho. Equipment of every kind
and description necessary to transpor
tation and mining has been assem-
bled. Fordsons rugged with trailmo
biles, sawmills, steam shovels, hoist
graders and rotary snowplows are in
turn provided with up to date equip
ment, such as solid rubber tires, bal
loon tires, pneunlatics, dual treads
and track pulls.
Defying- the elements when snow
and billiards would ordinarily have
discouraged progress, small army
Of workers has transported and install
ed a power plant, mine drills, dia-
nond drills, a compressor, portable
houses. offices, warehouses and all
equipment necessary for development

work on a, large Gale. Transportation
was made over roads formerly declar-
ed impossible by way of Mackay,
the nearest railroad station, sixty
miles from the mine
With the coming of spring and re-
newed operations in the Red Bird an
J. unprecedented campaign of develop
ment in other mines of that district
will commence. Within a radius of
$50 miles, in Butte, Custer and Lemhi
counties, where are big producers,
such as the Livingston mines, the Gill
more, the Ramshorn and the old Nj
cholia property may be found numer-
Gus other properties of merit.
Chief among these is the Ramshorn
property, owned by William Randolph
Hearst and the Salisbury interests of
Salt Lake City Until fifteen years a.
go the mines, of which there are sew
eral, were steady producers in lead
and silver, but, owing TO poor trans
portation facilities operations have
been limited. The mill and other E.
Equipment is now being put into shape
land in the early spring the mill will
once more turn for what is expected
to be long seasons run
The Livingston Mines Corporation,
situated on the East Fork of the Sal
mr. ri in,
SCENTS perhaps the most extensive
campaign of activity in the entire
group, with the exception of the Red
Bird. The Livingston mines are
owned and controlled by General Mo-
tors company of New York. Since
the early fall of last season work has
been going on constantly, preliminary
to development work such as has
never before been attempted in the
history of the mine Two million dol
'nrs have been expended in construct
ing three mile tramway, hydro
electric power plant and new con-
centrating mill which is about to go
into operation.
Another mine which is being reop-
ened after several years of inactivi
ty is the Whynot, a gold property To-
Gated on Estes mountain, on Jordan
creek, a tributary of the Salmon. 1t
is owned by w. H. Walker, a capital
list with numerous interests in this
vicinity. 1t was first located in 1879
Poor transportation caused operations
to be suspended about ten years ago,
but the advent of the motor truck has
solved the problem, and the property
is being reopened this spring for the
milling of high grade and low grade
ores.
Significant of the development of |
the central Idaho district is the move |
ment now under way to construct |
from the center of the dis
trict across the desert on the ives,
side of the Snake river to Idaho Falls, !

NURMI ATTACKS
 TABER'S RECORD
Flying Finn to Race at Stadium
 Tonight .

Cambridge, Mass, May 22,-(AP) pices of the Harvard athletic au- thorities to shatter the American mile record of Norman s. TabCr will be staged tonight at the Harvard stadium when Paavo Nurmi of Fin land races a scratch mile against three opponents in an effort 10 lower Tubcr's mark of 4 minutes, 12 3-5 seconds and possibly Nurmis own worlds record of minutes, 10 2-j seconds. On two other occasions, once on June 9th, 1923. and again or June goth, the same year. Joic Ray, Premier American miller, raced in the Harvard oval against Taber's paced mark set July 1G, 1915.
 Both times the little Chicagoan was unsuccessful. The first mile. handicap match against four local stars, was run in minutes. %7 3-5 seconds, with a strong wind blowing, His second attempt, although it pro- duced the fourth fastest mile run on the crimson track, in 1 minutes 16 1-5 seconds, was still seconds be- hind the record. Today the Finnish marvel, competing in probably his next to last race in America, pro- vides the most serious threat 10 the former Brown coIlegian's record.
 The race is scheduled to start at 6:45 o'clock daylight time tonight and will be run from scratch with Jimmy Connolly, former Georgetown captain, Willie Dooley. local school boy star, and Tom Clausen. of the Boston A. A., furnishing the com petition. Additional contests h. cludc a 100-yard handicap race in which Frank Hussey, former school boy champion, will compete, and a 440-yard run. The expense of stag ing the games will be met by the Harvard authorities and no adms- sion will be charged.

Rhcm Boasts Great Curve Ball.

year, winning 22 ball games. He av- eraged close to eight strikeouts per game.
 Rlicm Boasts Great Curve Ball.
 Brought back to the National League last fall he scored two vic tories in four starts and looked i'm prcssive. This year he gives every ev- idence Of being on the way to star dom.
 In scoring his shutout over the Giants, the first time any pitcher las whiteWashod McGraw's club this year, Rhem turned in a pitching classic.
 He alloWewd only eight hits whiffNd 10 battes, and, In the ninth inning, struck out the side with the bases filled. Two Of the players 10 go down on strikes were Frisch and Young, super batsmcn.
 Rhem is a big, rangy felloww, who boasts a great fast ball and a daz- zling curve. His hook is along the lines Of the fast breaking drop curve, much used 20 years ago but now rather obsolete.
 Great Compliment from Vet Catcher
 Joe Suglnn. veteran catcher who for years has acted as coach and scout for the St. Louisz Cardinals says no pitcher ever boasted a bet ter curve ball than Rhem.
 That is quite compliment, con- ing from a veteran receiver. who has handled the stuff of some of the greatest pitchers the game has ever produced.
 Sugden says Rhem's curve ball is most difficult for a catcher 10 follow and thereBre hard 10 catch. If that is the case picture the hatsman s task, who must not only follow its course but connect with 1t as well,
 Manager Branch Hickey Of tho Cardinals is so enthusiastic over Rhcm's future that he procIaims him the bost-looking kid pitcher to break into the National League in the last 1n years.
