Butter Marketing Project That Failed

Butter Marketing Project That Failed.
Not long ago the butter merchants
OF San Francisco realized the fact
that their supply of butter was SO
great that If something was not done
at once the price of all their butter
would be forced down to a point too
low to permit of reasonable rrofit.
1t was therefore agreed that each
house should contribute part of their
butter to make up several cars to be
sent to points farther east where
prices were just enough higher to en-
able them to get rid of the surplus.
All went well till the time came for
putting the butter into the cars. Then
some Of the firms on one pretext or
another held back all of the butter
that had been promised for the cars.
Each one had reasoned that il the
surplus butter was pushed off the
market his own butter would all sell
at good price. Thus each man be-
gan to try to get ahead of all the
others by letting them make the sac
rifices and by lying low himself to
reap the benefit. Unfortunately, so
many tried to work this scheme that
the project itself failed, only one car
instead of several being sent out. The
dealers now have a very unkindly
feeling toward the men that promised
butter but held it back.

Have been running many lines in
this vicinity this week.
SOUTH SURVEY THE BEST
Il runs through south end Of town and
strikes near head Of Grave creek.

The N. P. surveying party under
Engineer Estep, which arrived
here last week from Grangeville,
bas been busily engaged all this
week running lines in this vicinity.
Before coming here the party run
two lines from Grangeville to a
point near Denver. The first line
vas run in direct line from the
depot grounds in the north end Of
Grangeville toward this place
The south line run southwest from
the same place until about II
miles south of the first line and
from that point took direct
course for Cottonwood. After NOV
ing camp to this place the survey
on went back to near Denver and
look up the north survey, which
after reaching the Stuber farm
east Of town, made a swing to the
north and passing in the neighbor-
hood Of the cemetery was contin-
ued in a northwesterly direction to
point on Stock creek near the
WillOughby farm where it is ex-
pected the party working this way
rom Ilo will connect with it.
From Stock creek the surveyors
started back on the south line and
after striking Cottonwood creek
just above town run the line along
Third South street and then enter
ed the Nuxoll field, crossing the
bill at point near the Robbins
residence. The survey was taken
up again at that point Wednesday
and run down through part of the
Forsmann farm and will perhaps
connect today with the other line
near Denver. This line runs pret-
y close to the head of Grave creek
canyon and we understand the
gade secured lie much the best Of
the two and it will in all probabil-
lty be the survey used if the com
pany decides to build. When
these surveys are completed they
will be sent in to headquarters
where the head engineers will look
Them over and select the best one,
after which the surveyors here will
make that survey permanent II
Will probably be month or
more befure the head officers de,
ade on the line to be used and it is
lafd to say just when the informa,
uon will be made public. The
iOnning of the south line so near
% the head Of Grave creek is very
significant Of connection to be
made later mp the Salmon river
with the P. & l. N. at Meadows
aOa II the line is constructed onto
ne prairie next spring, as has been
.lnounced,we can confidently look
lof a north and south road within
perhaps year from that time.
Judging by the action of the men

Cottonwood Again an Open Town.


Practically every business house
in town opened up last Sunday
morning and remained open thro-
ughout the day without being mo
Tested. While no meeting Of the
village board had been held to re-
peal the closing ordinance the sup
position is that word had been
given ont to many from some
source that nothing would be done
in the way Of prosecuting violators
of the ordinance and at this writ
ing no action of that kind has been
taken. 1t is the general impress
sion that the closing ordinance will
be repealed at the regular session
Of the hoard tomorrow night. 1t
has been manifested for some time
that many Of those who were in
favor Of closing the town lasC
spring have been strongly in favor
Of opening for some time, especial
ly those who were losing trade by
the town being closed, and consid
erable pressure has been brought to
bear to have things opened up. III
the ordinance is repealed at this
meeting it is safe to say the town
will never he closed in this manner
again as the present severe lesson
will not be easily forgotten.

give thy evidence directly and with as
much speed as possible. Witness, what
occurrence between thee and the pris-

After hopping his brow with his
handkerchief and wetting his pale lips
with his tongue Josiah spoke:
"'Twas on day soon after Marga-
ret Mayland's return to her estate that
I went one morning to fetch my sister,
who had been detained by the storm a
few days at the house. As I approach

gaze fell upon my sister, usually a
maiden Of great decorum, running like
a wild thing along the top Of the pas
ture wall. whilst the prisoner, with her
hair unbound an streaming i the wind.
swung from tree to tree, laughing an
chattering gleefully as one bewitched.
My sharp cry Of rebuke brought them
to their senses, and, greatly abashed
and crestfallen. they advanced quietly
to meet me. Hoping for some good in
f1uence with my cousin, I entered the
house and stopped short time to re-
monstrate with her for her unbecoming
behavior.
