holding meeting in Cottonwood on
June 10Th and 9th relative to the orra-

to hold the meeting and to attend to
some minor arrangements. The party
from the university will hold meeting
at Nezperce on the 24th and 18th and
one ut Grangeville on the 28th and 10Th,
and as Cottonwood is on their line Of

Institute is of great Importance to all
farmers. fruitgrowers and stock men

What was probably the best game Of
ball ON the prairie this season was
played here Sunday between the
Grangeville and Cottonwood teams.
The outcome was emlncntlv satisfac-
tory to both teams, and the bows parted
with the friendliest feeling toward one |
another. The game was set for / 80
but it took the local manager over an
hour to find nine men who would play
ON our side. Finally the line up was
completed, with four new men on the
Cottonwood team. To tell the truth.
we never expected to make a score and
when the talleys were caunted and
found to stand 20 to IA in favor of
Grangeville We were Ill agreeably sur
prised. A large number of Grange
vile people were here and all express
themselves US highly pleased with the
treatment accorded them. The respec.
tive line up Of the teams was as follows:
