The big sale of state land took place
Wednesday at the court house in
Grangeville, several thousand acres be-
ing sold at that time. All of it brought
good prices, some Of the land going as
high as $44 per acre. Charlie Staal, S.
E. Smith and Lnm Yandel each got
40-acre tract out on Rocky Butte.
]. L. Woodring and Charlie Staal
commenced work Monday on new res
idence for II. A. James ON the hill near
the Ehrhardt residence. The frame of
the house is already up and the work
will be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible to enable Mr.. James to occu-
ply the house before the first of the year.
The German ball given at the Nuxoll
hall Monday night was grand success.
A large crowd was present and an ex-
ceedingly good time was had by all.
The Westlake orchestra dispensed fine
music and the supper served at the res
taurant was one of the best ever given
heqe. The dance was continued until
nm early hour Tuesday morning.
Commissioner Simon returned Mon
day from Grangeville where he had
been engaged in cauvassing the vote of
the recent election. He said the re-
publican majorities ranged from 1913
to 1,042, Carpenter receiving 1893 more
votes than Elsensohn for school super
intendent and Rice 1,042 more than
Robertson for county treasurer.
A. 2. Rhoades returned Monday even
ing from the Irrigon section down
on the Columbia river where he recent
ly went and is highly pleased with that
section. While there he purchased 15
acres of land, paying 500 per acre for
it, and says if he can sell his farm he
will invest all his money in land there.
His faith in the future of the place is
unbounded.
The dance given last night in the
Odd Fellow hall by the X. OF P. lodge
was, from a financial standpoint,
grand success but it would have requir-
ed twice the floor space provided to
have properly accommodated the inn
mense crowd of dancers present. As it
was the floor was packed for every dance
and dancing was made almost an inn
possibility yet everyone seemed in the
best of humor and seemed to enjoy the
dance greatly. Eighty-twc numbers
were sold and the dance continued until
a late hour this morning.
Without doubt the largest load of
lumber that ever entered Cottonwood
was hauled into town Tuesday by A. P.
Tefft from his mill near Keuterville.
The lumber was loaded on three wagons,
hitched one behind the other, was drawn
be 10 horses and amounted to 10000
feet, rough. 1t was unloaded at the
James lumber yard, being part of the
lumber recently purchased by Mr..
James. Mr.. left and his man hauled
in two more monster loads Wednesday
and will continue hauling until all the
clear lumber is delivered from his mill
TO town.
