been before. The advantage will be of
especial Importance to Pacific County,
for that portion of Washington has
never had an outlet to the rest of the
tat excepting by rail. One might go
past Pe Ell and up the Rock Creek
Valley over a horse trail and one or
two automobile drivers have hazarded
making the trip with light machines
by using the railroad part way, but a
wagon road has been unknown.
This piece of road was one of the
Important stretches responsible for
much of the 111 feeling engendered as
a result of the defeat of the state-road
programme In the closing hours of the
recent Legislature. State-road No. 5
carried with it a provision for Its ex
tension to connect Chebalis and the
Wlllapa Harbor cities of Raymond and
South Bend. There is a stretch of
about 10 miles near the summit in
Pacific County where no road has ever
been built, although the state has made
the survey.
Lewis County has a semblance of a
road to the county line at Walvllle. but
Pacific County must build several
miles with Its own funds through a
wild country. To do this it will be
obliged to use a part of its road bond
money voted at the recent election and
deprive the other parts of the county,
where there are thicker settlements of
the funds. County Commissioners
Gray. Harms and Teachnor of Lewis
County have inspected their part of the
route and will probably connect It with
Walvllle soon. Pacific County's board
is understood to have voted to use
130.000 of Its bond money on the road
from Francis to Walvllle.

FLOCKMASTER IS FINED
Edward Newman Pays Fine of SCI a

His Employes.
POCATELLO. Idaho. May 2. (Spe
clal.l The Federal Government scored
a signal victory over the sheepmen of
Idaho today when, by agreement, the
case of the United States against Ed
ward Newman, a prominent flockmas
ter in the end of the state, and his herd
ers. Ham Sieffert and William Wallace,
wa settled In the United States Clr
cult Court here by the payment, by the
principal defendant, of 1300 for illesa
grazing of Federal forest reserves. Last
June Newman placed four bands of
sheep on the Pocatello National Forest,
in defiance of the authority of the
forest officials and proceeded to range
there for the Summer. The herder
were arrested and the flocks removed.
In the settlement effected today New
man was assessed $175 for the feed con
sumed and $100 punitive damage un
der yesterday's decision of the United
States Supreme Court upholding the
constitutionality of the forest service
regulations. Each of the three de
fendants were fined an additional $25.
The case is one which bas attracted
wide attention and aroused deep in
terest among stockmen of Southern
Idaho and Its compromise settlement,
pending by the Department of Justice
at Washington lft the manner men
tioned, will undoubtedly mark the end
of Intentional grazing In forest re

Remarkable Increase In School At
tendance and Activity Shown
Everywhere.
SALEM, Or., May 2. (Special.) Re
turning from a .trip through Central
Oregon, Superintendent Alderman re
ports an activity In school affairs there
which Is surprising to him. He de
clahes that the school facilities are
keeping pace with the active devel
opment of that section and reports an
exceptional Increase in school attend
ance.
At Prlneville, where the Crook
County High Sclteol is located, the at
tendance has gone up 60 per cent In
the last year.
"This is an exceptionally fine high
school," stated Superintendent Alder
man. "The old Courthouse has been
removed so as to adjoin the hand
some school building and is being used
as a portion of the school. A teachers'
training department, a class in agri
culture, a commercial course are a few
of the departments in high school work
which are proving to be practical.
"The students In Central Oregon. I
find, are willing to undertake anything
and are live and enterprising. They
are'decidedly loyal to their Institu
tions and are aiding materially in de
veloping them, as well as their section
of the state.
"At Redmond the school children are
planning a spelling math with the
planning a spelling match with the
future. At the laymen's meeting,
while I was there, one of the business
men made a remark that the children
could not spell, and the pupils imme
diately extended a challenge and in
tend .to 'show them.'
"I was at Prlneville, Redmond,
Madras and Latdlaw and find that the
work of the schools Is remarkable.
"Redmond has three times as many
pupils as last year and It is necessary
for the town to hold school in halls
above stores, so rapid has been the In
crease. The Oregon Trunk has proved
to be a godsend to the schools as well
as to the country."
