MAKES FINE RECORD AT BASKETBALL TOURNA- MENT HELD IN LEWISTON —KNOCK EM DEAD | The Cottonwood high school | basketball team with its small | army of rooters returned Sun-| day evening from Lewiston where they took part in the dis- trict tournament, defeated for} the district championship but | with honors that will live long in the memory of the loczl high school as well as the city in gen- eral. | The Cottonwood high school | team, regarded as a weak con- tender by some of the wise ones, | for the district championship sprang the surprise of the meet | and gave some of the so-called better teams the battle of their lives. The local team also has the honor of having one of its members. Raymond Tacke, sel-| ected-as one of the all-star play- | ers of the tournament. The fol- lowing is the account given of the various games in which the Cottonwood boys took part by the Lewiston Tribune: | Cottonwood-Kamiah, | In a game, nip and tuck all the | way through, and as scrappy as was produced the first day’s play, (Thursday) Cottonwood team won over the Kamiah team | by a 21 to 20 score, the win com- |} ing from a free throw at the end | of the game. The score alternated during | the first half and Cottonwood / finally came out in the lead 14 to 11. In the second period team work, overcame the lead and tied the score 16 all at five minutes before the end. They tied again at 18 and again at 20.

Cotton-| wood, with the use of short pas-| ses with which they converted | some nifty close goals, started | right out after Moscow and _al-| most had her bewildered. The! game see-sawed for the first 15| of — play, Cottonwood | leading her share of the time, and Moscow escaped at the end of the half with only a bare 3 point lead, 18 to 15. The second half was a repeti-! tion of the first and at about Cottonwood was leading 24 to 22 Here Moscow called time for a} consultation, and from then on they made a terrific rally which | carried them on to a hard earned | victory. Nedros was on in good shape most of the time on field baskets but fell down on free throws} making 6 in 11, not up to his| | standard. The who!e Cottonwood | is to be commended on! nick were most noteworthy. | The uncorking of their flashy | short passing play in this game. was some surprise to the Mos-| cow players and to the crowd, | who by comparative _ scores, | figured Cottonwood a set up. | The Lineup: | Moscow Nedros (f) Royce (f) Cottonwocd | (f) Homar } (f) Shinnick | (c) Jenny Bumgarner (g) (g) Rink} Substitutes: Moscow, Estes} for Royce, Royee for Woody, | Cottonwood, Nims for Shinnick, | Seoring: Field goals; Nedros} 10, Drury 2, Bumgarner 1, Estes 1, Shinnick 4, Homar 2, Free throws Nedros 6 in 11, Shinnick 4 in 5.)

This, TIMBER RESOURCES IN IDAHO ARE IMMENSE Lumbering Industry, Employs Two-thirds of Population in State at Present Time Few people realize the magni- tude of Idaho’s vast timber re- sources which is by far the state’s must valuable asset, and it lies, the largest portion of it, within our own door. Idaho has 130,000,000,000 feet of standing saw timber. This amount would build a sidewalk ten feet wide of one-inch borrds, which would be long enough to go around the world, at the equator, 100 times, and long enough to reach to the moon and back five times. It is estimated that the cost of taking this timber from the stump, and manufacturing same ready for shipment costs $14 per thousand of course, would be paid to the bona fide residents of our state being the enormous amount of $1,820,000,- 000, which would be the equal of employing an army of 10,000 men at £5 per day 800 days a VOTE TO DECIDE WASH- INGTON GROWERS’ FATE) Wheat Body to Meet April 16—| Ballot by Mail!—Disincorpo- ration Not Looked For Directors of the Washington Wheat Growers’ association at the conclusion of a session that covered two days and two nights voted Monday night at Spokane to call a special meeting of all the head office April 16 to discuss disineorpora- A two-thirds vote of the entire membership of approxi- is members at tion. mately 3200 wheat growers necessary to disincorporate.

The management and the gen- eral counsel were further in- structed to proceed with the collection from growers of over- advances during the disastrous 1920 crop movement. In some instances the first advance be- fore the sensational price drop that year was 20 to 30 cents higher than the final average. The contract provides that the grower must make a rebate in such instances. Some growers have refused to do so.

The directors of the Farmers’ Union have engaged the under- signed to take charge of their livestock shipping department, and see if there was not some way whereby the hogs and cattle shipped from this point could not be handled more satisfac- torily than it had been in the past. Now in order to make any plan a success it will call for the hearty co-operation of the pro- ducers of this section. If the man who raises and brings to )market the stock fatted on the farm, will bunch their stock through the union, it will give your agent something with which to work. This being able to know each shipping day ex- actly what he will have come in, will enable him to place or sell on the highest market. I am prepared to pay the high- est market price to all who do not want to ship. But the idea section to co-operate, ship into the market together, and save for yourself the margin of profit that all buyers have to get. _The community plan of ship- ping wiil not cost you any more than it has in the past, but on the other hand it will bring you more money per pound for your fat stock. This has been proven wherev- er tried and is wroking success- fully along the Clearwater river, in the Genessee country and is to get the producers of thisq NEWS AROUND ~THE STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE STATE . Miles Cannon,, state commis- sioner of agriculture, placed his resignation in the hands of Gov. C. C. Moore Saturday, effective at once. It was accepted. No reason is assigned for the resig- nation. Andrew J. Spencer, age 38, the oldest resident in the Trvy community, died Tuesday at the home of his son, J. T, meer. Mr. Spencer was a native of Kentucky, where he spent the greater part of his life, coming to Idaho about 14 years ago to live with his son. A set of ancient Babylonian tablets containing records of bus iness transactions between 2400 and 2100 years before Christ has been given to the university museum by Major and Mrs. W. W. Woods, old friends of the in- stitution. Major Woods is not now living but his last wish was that the tablets be presented to the university. Mrs, Woods resides at Wallace. Whether Lewis county is again to have the services of a county agriculture agent, is the question upon which a special meeting of the county commis- sioners has been called by Chair- man of the Board I.
