GRANGEYILLE
TO BE A CITY
Petition will be Circulated This
Week.
NEW COURT HOUSE PAID FOR
Money on Sale of Bonds Re-
Ceived Last Friday.

Last Friday, the money was re-
ceived for the Village bonds and at
the council meeting Saturday
night a warrant was drawn in favor
of Contractor Grabski for the full
amount due on the original con-
tract for building the new court
house. A great deal of unavoidable
delay has been experienced in get
ting this money and it is matter
of no little satisfaction to know
that at last the building is paid for
and Grangeville has fulfilled her
promises to a letter. The work on
the interior Of the building is pro-
crossing rapidly and it will only be
a short time until the county
officers can move into their new
home.
The council also took up the
matter of changing our village
government to that of city of the
second class, and as the feeling
was generally in favor of such a
change there is little doubt but
that it will be carried out.
The late session of the legislature
passed law providing for change
Of village form of government tC
that of a city of the second class
by petition to the village board oI
three tifths of the taxpayers of the
! village. The proposition seems tC
meet with general favor here, ant
it is likely that petitions will bt
circulated this week for presenta
tion to the board at their meeting
on Saturday next.
The principal advantages claim
ed for the proposed change ar
that under a second class city gov
ernment the municipality is divided
into wards, each of which nomi
mates and elects iwo members o
the city government, thus prevent
ing the punching of all the council
men from on end of the town
a process which has mainly caused
the dissensions which exist il
Grangeville today, while the mayo
is elected by the village at large
the treasurer, clerk, attorney an
police judge are also elected by tn
people at large under the city gov
ernment, while under the villag
form these officials are appointe
by the board. Under city of th
second class the police judge super
cedes the functions of the precinC
J justices, all cases arising under tn
city government having to b
heard before him, while all fines
etc. are turned directly into I'll
city treasury.

Poultry Raising.

No branch of farming could be
made more profitable and yet none
is more neglected than that of
poultry raising. Throughout this
section of the country the demand
for eggs and chickens has always
exceeded the supply and while
many Of our farmers are giving
more attention to chickens, there
is still room for great improvement.
We not only need more chickens
but better chickens and it is just
as easy, and cheaper, to raise a
good fowl as poor one. 1t does
not require an expert to observe
the careless breeding everywhere
visible in the poultry yards of this
country, says the Pacific Home
stead. Many farmers who woult
not tolerate scrub in live stool
lines will let any old frosen- toe'
mongrel rooster have full and lord
ly sway over the flocks on his farm
There is a feeling in the breast c
every farmer that he can i'll affor
to keep scrub stock, but that doe
not apply to poultry and for tha
reason almost any kind is employe
Ifor breeding purposes. We al
lglad to note that some wide-awak

farmers have observed that the
same care in the selection of
breeders in the poultry yard is
necessary that is needed in other
lines and where this is found
there is n decided improvement
and consequent satisfaction in
growing poultry. The man who
feels that ''pouItry does not pay
is sure to have that feeling realized
for he has no incentive to do any
better than his feelings call for and
this is one of them.
The old picture 81 often painted
that farmers gather up all the
poultry they can catch with the
aid OF he dog and all the hired
men on the farm when it is neces
sary to take them to market and
those having the ability and en-
durance to escape the vigor Of man
and dog in the chase are left as the
breeding stock is only too true.
Surely constitution is developed
in flock Of this kind and occa-
sionally cunning will be developed,
AS some of the fowls hide under
the barn or in the weeds out of the
reach of the invaders This is not
the best way to select the breeders
for another year. There is more
than racing constitution wanted
in the makeup of the up-to date

board for the consideration of the
repair Of the Sites bridge, the
board all being present proceeded to

made IVY w. G. Rothwell on behalf
of the Sites residents, as to the

will cost at least $500, aud it also
appears that unless said repairs are
made Immediately said bridge will
be in great danger of going out.
Therefore it is ordered that said
bridge be repaired at once pursuant
to said plans and estimate, and

RUSSIAN BEAR HOLDSI
 BAIT FOR UNCLE SAM
State Department Believes Car Is
 Fishing for Our Intentions.

Washington. May u.-Secretary Hay is watching affairs in the far east with TO less care because the recent furry of excitement caused by reports of Russian aggression in Manchuria has subsided. The state department has not been satisfied that Russia intends to get out of China.
 It is the belief at the state depart ment that Russia is not yet prepared Co announce all her purposes with regard to Northern China, and that in the meantime she is resorting to various subterfuges in order to determine just what the United States is likely to do. in case the present occupation Is de- clared to be permanent Russia has as sured this country that, no matter what happens, the commercial interests of the United tates will be regarded and respected This is a queer sugges- tion, if Russia is to turn the territory in question over to China
 In addition. the diplomatic correspon- deace and the communications convey ed to the state department by the Rus sian ambassador have been of a char acter to suggest to Secretary Hay in the most friendly and courteous man ner possible that Russia is playing her game in China. and would esteem 1t a favor if the United States. as mere onlooker. would refrain from making any remarks.

THE OMAHA STRIKE
 ON ITS LAST LEGS
The First Break Came in the Ranks of
 the Teamsters.

Omaha, Neb., May 1.-The, strike in this city seems to be nearing its end so far as the shutting down of business is concerned. The first break in the teamsters' ranks came today when twenty-five men of one of the leading delivery companies decided to return to work. The meeting of the Teamsters' union decided to withdraw the objec- tionable features in the demands upon employers, but it was stated that the latter would also demand a lower scale of wages.
 Tomorrow several large downtown restaurants will open with non-union men, most of whom are colored. The employers have made no concession thus far and state that the plan of ar bitration proposed by the strikers will not be accepted. Tomorrow the laun- dries will resume operations with non union men. although a number of old employees will be retained. The union laundry workers have arranged to enter active competition, their laundries hay ing established a large number of of fees in the city from which they will send work of the laundries to small outside towns.

RIOTOUS OUTLOOK
 IN BRIDGEPORT CONN.
Result of Effort to Run Street Cars
 With Non Union Men.

Bridgeport. Conn, May IA riot ous mob broke loose in this city this afternoon when the officials of the Con necticut Lighting & Railway company attempted to run their cars with non union operatives. Twelve men were badly injured as a result. The police were powerless to handle the mob and fire engines were called out and played streams of water on the crowds. This had some effect.
 Mayor Mulvihill was out on the streets attempting to quiet the people. He ordered a policeman to take his hands off a prisoner he had arrested and told the deputy sherffs that they had better let the man go. During the argument the prisoner dashed away The stone throwing by the mob became so furious that the deputy sheriffs drew their revolvers and fired five shots in the air. This caused the lombard ment to let up a little and the cars were able to reach the barns and run inside.
 When the last car passed the door where 1000 people were gathered vio- fence once more broke loose. Bricks. stones and everything that could be thrown were hurled at the barns and that belonged to the company in the vicinity. At this point Mayor Mulvihiil sent for Chief Coffin oi the fire department and hose was put into use. It is known that not a man of twelve who were on the cars escaped injury of some kind. Everyone stood on the platform while they were going into the barns. They were seen to be bleeding profusely from heads and faces. Roadmaster Davis Of the troI- ley company was also severely injured. Sheriffs Herderick and Plumb were struck in different parts of their bodies at least dozen times. No attempt was made to run the cars tonight.

colonies and their governing countries are also discussed at considerable length, showing that the colonies in practically all cases take larger pro- portion of their imports from the gov erning country than from other parts ofsthe world. and that the demands of the governing country Qocated as they are in the temperate zones) for the products of the colonies Qocated as they are in the tropics) are constantly in creasing and thus commerce between the colony and the governing country rapidly growing.
