Johnson, a, pion- eer resident of Nezperce prairie died here last Friday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. B. Mc- Culley, his only surviving near relative from complications inci- dent to old age. Mr. Johnson, who was 80 years of age was stricken with a paralytic stroke afew years,ago from which he never fully recovered. Senator Johnson settled on the Nezperce reservation near Nez- perce when the prairie was first opened up for settlement and or years was engaged in farming. After retiring from his farm he became more or less interested in polities and when Lewis and Clearwater counties where created out of old Nez Perce county he was elected joint senator from these two counties. He was also a member of the G. A: R. and has also been honored. by that organi- zation. Mr. Johnson was a man) of strong character: and enjoyed the very highest regard of his neigh- bors, and this was especially true in hig home community where he was known to almost every man, woman and child. e came to Cottonwood this fall to make his home with his: daughter, Mrs: J. B. McCulley, who made his remaining days as pleasant as possible and his death was not unexpected as he had been growing weaker day by day. The death of: Mr Johnson; famong one of- the “leading indus- takes another one of those sturdy old pioneers who faced . the. hard- ships of the early days, and whose number are decreasing fast year by year, The remains were prepared for shipment by ‘Undertaker Nau and | peree Sunday morning where the funeral services where held the same day. The services were at- tended by his, many friends at, the. Lewis county metropolis. The body was laid to rest in the} Nezperce cemetery. een: Fisher Named Game Warden, Don Fisher, fecontly returned | from overseas, and who was a) Cottonwood visitor last. week from his home at Grangeville has been named assistant chief deputy | game warden. Mr. Fisher’s ter- ritory will embrace Idaho county and perhaps portions.o! Lewis and | Clearwater counties, it being the purpose of the department to es- tablish the district according to natural boundaries. rather than the county lines. Mr. Fisher is recognized as one of the leading sportsmen of Idaho and is especially well qualified for the'work of the office to which he| Cottonwood. ‘schools , was .sum- has-been appointed. Mr. Fisher held the position of deputy game warden for a part of Idaho,county under the Haynes administration’and proved to be one of the best deputies in the en- tire state.

Stolz of Greenéreek who has been raising thoroughbred poultry in Idaho county for some years was a Cottonwood business visitor this week.’. Mr. Stolz: at thé present time has 120 thorough- |’ bred chickens on his farm, his main variety being the Rose| Comb Rode Island Reds which he has raised for the past ten years and ‘which he considers to be one of the best laying varities for} Camas prairie. The past two years he has also been engaged in raising White Wyandotte and has also just started to experiment with Black Minoreas. Last year he sold 165 settings of |eggs, 15 ekgs to a setting, during the months of March, April and May besides using 600 eggs for his own use and from which he raised 450 fine birds. Mz. Stolz uses scientific means in raising his poultry, feeding be- ing done by weighing out so much | feed for each pen, keeping an ac curate record of all eggs layed each day and ete. ‘ At the end of each month he is then in posses- sion of information that few poul- | try: men strive to possess. He knows exactly what each pen of birds cost in the outlay of feed and. what their returns have been to him. He stated that poultry raising has not been as profitable. to him as years gone by, due to the high cost of feed and the recent drop in the price of eggs. He also stated that he had accurate,jnfor- mation.concerning his flock, Sich if put'in print, many would doubt as such, but’ will, be. glad. to.show. anyone, who is interested. Poultry raising according to U. S¥ government reports ranks tries of the nation and. with some, good system to follow we cannot see why it could. not be made a} profitable business on Camas Pra- irie or at leasta fine sidé line for the farmers. | P.
