.STOCKMEN WANT
TEN YEAR LEASE
Important Meetings And
Hearings Were Held in
Salt Lake City Last
Week

That the bureau Of forestry should
be shorn of its arbitrary power in
granting grazing leases was the reco-
mendatlon adopted by the American
National Livestock association in con-
ference at Salt Lake on Tuesday Of
last week. This meeting Of the
stockmen and also Of the National
Woolgrowers association is being
held to formulate recommendations
to be presented to senatorial public
lands committee which held hear
lngs in Salt Lake during the latter
part Of last week.
Under resolutions adopted congress
would be requested to pass law le-
galizing the grazing of livestock up
on the national forests and authoriz-
ing the secretary of agriculture to
execute leases for not less than 10
years, renewable at the option Of the
leasors.
Should such law be enacted it
would naturally follow that any con-
tested point arising from Disagree
ments between the lease holders and
the government would be taken to
the United States district court in
stead OF being settled in the forestry
bureau as at present.
The recommendation further pro-
vides that the proposed law shall re-
strict the holder in the use and
disposal of the lease only to insure
the essential and beneficial uses OF
the resources concerned from the
standpoint Of business in general and
to make the holders responsible for
any damage caused the resources in
volved through exercise Of the rights
under such leases.
The morning session Of the confer
ence was given over to a discussion
If the public domain, the majority OF
sentiment appearing in favor of the
federal control.
The state control met with much
lisfavor at the conference, delegates
aking the stand that under federal
.ontrol rules and regulations govern
ng grazing in the various states
would be more uniform
Several delegates voiced the opin-
on that action regarding the public
omain should be deferred until such
ime as the forest problem has been
olved

FRIGHTFUL AUTO ACCIDENT ON THE
HOFFMAN GRADE |. P. SHOLTZ dies
A. A. Stevens and
Joe Cleary Narrowly Els
cape Death in Spectacu-
lar Auto Accident

As result of an automobile leaY-
ing the Hoffman grade last Sunday
afternoon, L P. Sholtz prominent
local hotel man passed away last
Wednesday at st. Alphonsus Hospi-
tai in Boise; Sheriff Arthur A.
Stevens is still confined to the same
hospital and is in critical condition
and Joe Cleary, the other occupant
of the car was quite painfully in
jured, suffering from compound
fracture of the leg. Stevens, while
still in shocked condition, is on the
mend and it is expected that he will
be in a condition to permit an
operation within next week. He had
five ribs broken as well as his collar
bone. Sholtz was very seriously in
injured internally and for several
days the forepart of the past week it
was believed by attending physicians
that his life could be saved but on
Tuesday evening all hope was des-
paired of and he died the following
day at one-thirty.
1t seems that the party were re-
turning to this city from Atlanta in
the Buick brougham; belonging to
Mr.. Sholtz and after nearing a turn
near the spring on the Hoffman grade
Sholtz, who was driving was told by
Sheriff Stevens that if he did not get
away from the bank that he would
tear off the tenders of the car.
Sholtz then apparently turned his
car nearer the edge and after strik-
ing some soft ground he tried to pull
it back into the road but his efforts
failed and the car plunged over the
embankment, not over a foot and
half from the beaten track of the
road. The auto Immediately turned |
over and in doing so lost the doors
and Stevens escaped but in jumping
fell in the path of the rolling car and
it passed over him. 1t is claimed by
those at the scene shortly after that
had it not been for the heavy under
growth that he would have been
crushed by the weight of the car.
The next time the car turned over
The wheels were broken from the
body and on its downward path to
The bottom of the canyon Sholtz and
Jleary were thrown out. 1t is esti-
mated that the car rolled for dis
.ance of four hundred feet and the
,roken parts of the car were strewn

PLAN TO MAP THE
new HIGHWAY
Party Of Boosters For New
Route Into Nevada To
Leave Soon To Mark
New Trail

A party, consisting Of william
Hall, state commissioner of Public
Works, c. B. Sampson, of the famed
Sampson Trail" and c. b. Faraday,
will leave in the near future
to so over the proposed new highway
into Nevada, which viii connect with
the Lincoln Highway at Tuscarora.
The proposed new route will pass
through Bruneau. Wiekahoney, Rid
lie, owyhee, White Rock, Edgemont
md Deep Greek and will shorten the
distance materially from all South
ern Idaho points into Nevada and
cities.
The fact that the proposed new
route will form junction with the
Old Oregon Trail at Mountain Home
is Of considerable Importance to this
city as it will mean a considerable in
crease in tourist travel and for that
reason every effort should be put
forth to make the project mater
ialize
II is the understanding that Gov
ernor Moore is very favorable to-
ward the proposition and in the near
future will ask that the road be de-
signated as a state highway. Mr..
Sampson also plans to mark the
route with his familiar orange trail
in the very near future.

DAIRYING IS
GOOD BUSINESS
Turning Local Hay Crops
Into Butter Shows Great
er Margin of Profit To
The Farmer

With continued good prices for
dairy products and future prospects
also good, Idaho farmers can get high
prices for their hay by selling it in
the form of butter High transpor-
tation cuts little figure to the dairy
man a carload of butter worth over
$4,000 can be shipped from Noun
tain Home to Portland for $500
while car of hay worth less than
$500 takes $S5. In the first instance
the freight is % per cent of the to-
tai value while in the latter case
the freight is about S5 per cent or
over a third
The dairy COW and her products
now furnish 25 per cent of the total
value of all agricultural products in
the United States each year, or over
8 billion dollars AS consumption
and population has increased faster
than production dairying continues
to be profitable and the industry as
a whole shows remarkable stability.
The Idaho farmer with his ideal
conditions for dairying should pro-
duce cheaper dairy products than
any other farmer in the United
States. Farmers in Elmore County
who are looking for cows this fall
can get information as to several
herds including Holsteins, Guern-
seys, and Jerseys by seeing the Coun-
ty Agent.

If it grows and thriyes, you profii

former so much for granted that we
have lost sight of the latter-parti-
cularly our own obligation in the
matter
You and your neighbors can say
which it shall be.
You are a partner with everybody
else in town, and the town-which
is all the partners collectively-can
be only as prosperous and progress
siye as the sum of the prosperity
and the progress of the Individual
partners.
Do your share and there will be no
question as to the outcome. It means
money for you and your family; it
means the same things for your
neighbors.
