Efforts of Edna Pearcy Miller and Frank Miller, her husband, to eject the Lewiston-Clarkston |Canning company and the J. | | Alexander company from certain property along the Snake river in Lewiston, proved futile when the supreme court Thursday held | that they could show no title to the property in question. | Retail coal dealers of the state of Idaho Saturday were request- ed by Governor D. W. Davis to | hold sufficient coal in their bins to supply threshing needs of the state. The governor’s request was issued in anticipation of a possible coal shortage and in re- cognition of the necessity for the | threshing to be finished without delay, he said, Julius E. Nordby of Genesee, a graduate of the University of Idaho in 1915, has been appoint- ed associate professor of animal husbandry at the university to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of R. E. Gongwer. | Professor Nordby was a special- jist in animal husbandry and a member of the livestock judging team while a student of the uni- versity. Obtaining a sholarship at the University of Illinois, he studied there a year, receiving the degree of master of science in agriculture in 1916. About fifty farmers and threshermen assembled at the Fraternal Hall in Nezperce last Saturday night and threshed out the question of labor wages and threshing prices to rule in that section through the present har- vest. The subject was exten- sively discussed and all angles |of it considered, the final con- clusions arrived at being: The pay for help will be based on $3.50 per day for common labor; sack sewers, $4.50 per day, and for haying and shocking, $3.00 | per day. The $50,000 of road bonds of- fered for sale by the Kamiah highway district for construc- tion of a surfaced road up the hill to Nezperce to connect with the North and South highway at Craigmont, and the Lewis & Clark highway at Kamiah, were sold Saturday to the Spokane and Eastern Trust company and Fer- ris and Hardgrove, Spokane, for $1,000.98 and accrued interest and all costs of printing legal | proceedings. The next highest | bid was that of John E. Dride | and company, Portland, for $1000.09 with accrued interest, legal costs, etc. There were three other bids. | FOUNDATION BEING BUILT. | Work on the foundation of the | new home to be built by Matt Keschmitter near the of the week.
