In the issue Of the Free Press of
July 25th, this year, we advocated
in strong terms a creamery for
Grangeville and in a half column,
scare head article, stated facts and
figures showing why it would be a
profitable investment as we'll as an
important factor in building up the
country by developing the dairy
interests. The agitation has
brought results for if the plans Of
Messrs. Erwin and Goodhue, who
have been here for some time past,
are carried out before another year
Grangeville will have a first-class
creamery and the ranchers will be
able to take good profit from a
new industry. The gentleman left
during the early part of the week
for Mabton, Washington, but will
return again in the spring to take
up the work. They met with great
encouragement and are we'll satis-
fed there is an excellent opening
here. When they return the work
will be taken up and we hope to be
able to tell our readers Of some
plans to be carried out which will
give to us one OF the largest and
best equipped creameries in Idaho.

BERTSCH BOOSTS
Our Fellow TOWnSman Tells
Butte Of Our Greatness
ADTERT|SES THE COUNTRY
Men of His Stamp Valuable AS
set to Country in General

Grangeville is getting some big
boosting through Rudolph Bertsch,
who is on his way east, as the fol-
lowing clippings from Butte, Mon
tana, papers indicate. Men like
Mr.. Bertsch, who have the interests
of their town and county at heart
are the kind that lift little country
towns to cities. The enthusiastic
citizen is the most valuable asset a
town can have.
"Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Bertscn
and their daughters, Pearl and
Ruby, of Grangeville, Idaho, are
here visiting their brother, Otto
Bertsch, 119 Second street.
Mr.. Bertsch boasts of being from
the largest county in the United
States without a railroad, and the
only city in the United States
where you can get your tickets, get
ting your baggage checked to any
place in the country. Grangeville
is the county seat in the largest
county in the United States.
Mr.. Bertsch also informs us that
q Northern Pacific railroad is
now constructing branch line
from Cuidesac to Grangeville,
working crew of 800 men from
day to night, expecting to complete
same in May or June.
The crops yielding from the
prairies are from so to 20 bushels
per acre. A s65,OOO hotel is being
built"
"Rudolph Bertsch, many years
ago resident of Butte, but now 9
prominent business man of Grange
vile, Idaho, is visiting old scenes
here. Mr.. Bertsch was here wher
the narrow gauge reached Butte
and he recalled today the scenes
on the principal streets when thai
event was celebrated"
"Butte looks very different thar
in those days." he said. ''It's {
good old town, but we think W,
have better one down our wa,
in Idaho. Grangeville, is thu
la sest town in the United Statel
off a railroad, and prosperou
place. Two railroads are buildin,
our way and we expect to be better
known when we get railroad trans
portation."

and placing the shafts for the con-

compressor was put in place this

the mill building has been sawed,
aud as soon as sufficient amount
of rock for the concrete is crushed,
the boiler that was used to operate
the sawmill will be moved along
side the new boiler to supplement
lite power.
Superintendent Joseph Thorn
thinks everything will be ready SO
the mill can begin operating some
time about the 10Th of November.

Got Out Of the Country.

Eugene p. LANCER, a young man
who was brought up from Florence
some some weeks ago and charged
with lewd cohabitation had all sorts
of trouble last week but finally
succeeded in getting matters in
such a shape he was able to get out
of the country. His trouble dates
from a time when he departed from
Florence and left a bill unpaid. O..
l.. Benson, the landlord of the
hotel who had provided food and
shelter for LANCER and his party,
brought a civil action against him
last Monday. The case was tried
by Judge Vineyard who gave the
plaintiff Judgment for s3S. 10 and
the cost. On the criminal charge
he pleaded guilty and was fined s5C
which he paid, and given forty.
eight hours in which to get out oil
the county. According to last re.
ports he was leaving no grass grow
under his feet in his anxiety tc
find new haunts. His wife has
filed a suit for a divorce and she
certainly has sufficient grounds up.
on which to obtain one.

the summer. Mr.. Davis is the
original locator Of the properties
owned by the Black Diamond Cop
per Co., near Whitebird and left
for there yesterday. This company
is an organization OF capitalists
and practical mining men and owns
nine claims on the west side of the
Salmon river, in the Camp Howard
district. Assays show values rum
ming from $40 to Sl60 to the ton
and with the arrival of q railroad

Not Guilty.

In the case of the state of Idaho
vs E. A. Randall, tried Saturday
and Monday before Judge Vine
yard, the court found the defendant
"not guilty" This was case in
which J. M. Dobbins accused Mr.
Randall of stealing three head of
steers on or about October 3rd.
The evidence introduced failed to
prove the charge. Both parties
are from Joseph Plains and it is
limited by some who claim to know
that the action was the result of
some neighborhood quarrels.

STATEWIDE REPU IA T|0A
n.a,h of Deceased Mourned
by Idaho Generally.

From facts obtained it is evident
.he death of r. f. Lock wood at
Riopips last week was caused by
The accidental discharge OF a revol.
ver which he had given to q friend
and was in the act Of showing him
how it worked.
The death OF Mr.. Lockwood is
|uutimely, he having reached that
ace where the highest capabilities
ii bright intellect are attained.
Robert Edward Lockwood was
horn on farm in western Oregon
in 1869. He began the printers
trade at the age of II. In 1890 he
went to Weiser and established the
wsiser Signal which he made one
Of the leading weekly and semi
weekly papers of the state. In 1891
Inc purchased the Weiser Leader,
combining it with the Signal. He
was married the same year and to
this union one son, George Lock-
wood, age 10, survives, together
with the wife.
In 1901 Mr.. Lcck wood took into
partnership with him F. S. Hard
linz and turned the active manage
ment of the newspaper business
over to him and purchased a ranch
and placer mine at Higgins in Ida
ho county, where he has devoted
the greater part of his time ever
since. In 1905 he sold his interest
in the Signal to Mr.. Harding. In
l9O3, Mr.. Lockwood erected one
|of the best business blocks in the
city of Weiser for the use of the
Signal
For the last six years Mr.. Lock-
wood had devoted his energies and
attention assiduously to his ranch
bud placer mine which ne had de-
veloped into valuable property.
When Senator Dubois conceived
the idea of establishing the Scimi-
ar, Mr.. Lockwood was offered

SAD CASE INDEED
Man Examined for Insanity
Tells Pitiful Story.
R EAL|zEO HIS CONDITION
Ambitions Of Youth ThWarted
by Mental Breakdown

p. II. Kelly, forest ranger en-
ployed on the Bitter Root reserve,
was brought up from Kooskia the
last of the week and examined by
the probate court as to his sanity.
Mr.. Kelly's case is very sad one
and excited great deal of pity in
the hearts Of those who heard him
recite the details. 1t seems from
the time he was youth Of ninteen
he has realized he was subject to
mental troubles and has all his
life guarded against the spells that
would at times come upon him.
Mr.. Kelly stated he had known for
great many years of his condition
but had never realized he was in
sane and should have treatment
until recently when he discovered
he was unable to distinguish
imaginary things from what was
real.
He spoke of a time when he was
young and ambitious and had de-
cided upon a course in life. How
he had taught school for several
years and was expecting to 60 sto
college after he had accumulated
sufficient money and take up the
study of medicine. How, after he
had taught several terms he was
subject to mental trouble and re.
luctantlly gave up his cherished
hope and turned his hand to physi-
cal labor as a means of gaining q
livelihood. He made no objection
to going to Orofino for treatment
and stated in the examination he
had come to realize the seriousness
of his condition. After listening to
the evidence the examining physi-
clans decided it would be best for
him to 60 there for treatment. It
is the hope of his friends that per-
manent results may be obtained
and he may live to see the ambi-
! tions of his youthful days realized.

believed that he disposed of it for
a sum that would enable him to

shock to his family, his death will
be shock to thousands of friends
over the entire state, who had come
to know and honor theman.
