new FIRM
CONTROLS MILL
improvements at CuldeSac
Opens Prospects New
Industry

The Vollmer- Clearwater Grain COM
pany has leased the flour mill belong
ing to the Culdesac Milling company
at Culdesac and are now in charge Of
the plant.
The lessees will install heavy ma
chinery for rolling barley and in addi-
ton to the manufacture OF -four will
engage extensively in rolling barley for
feeding purposes on the coast provid-
ing milling In transit rate can be
secured.
Such rate is available to all of
the large milling companies and it is
believed little difficulty will be en-
countered in securing such a conces-
sion for the Culdesac mill.
The acreage of barley in the prairie
country and the hill land surrounding
Culdesac is very large and the opera
ton of the rolling department Of the
Culdesac mill will insure good mar
ket for all barley that is off grade and
not admitted to the market as a first
class product.
The mill is equipped with a water
and steam plant and can be operated
by water power for about eight months
in the year It is expected the mill
will be operated continually under the
new management and will be in charge
of e. M. Green, formerly of Troy, who
will also handle the grain buying bust
ness Of the vollmer-C Clearwater COM
pany as successor Of A. D. Gregory,
who will have charge of the company's
business at vollmer.

Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
COTTONWOOD, Idaho, June T.
Committees are arranging the details
for the big celebration to be held here
July and and invitations will be
sent to all points on Camas and Nez
Perez prairies to join in the observ-
ance of the day.
A feature of the sports provided for
the two days will be baseball games
between the Cottonwood team and
teams from neighboring towns. A
purse of 800 for each game will be
offered, the winning team taking the
prize.
One of the games will be played with
Kamiah and this will be of particular
| interest on account of the teams each
having won game in thinning con-
| tests
Laborers are being received regu-
larly for the railroad camps and re-
ports from the construction work be-
! tween Cottonwood and Grangeville are
| to the effect that the camps are now
we'll filed with men. The work is be-
| ing rushed at all points Of the line
and it is expected the grade will be
ready for the laying Of steel within
| few months. 1t is the purpose O.
| the contractors to have all grade worl
completed in time so as not to delay
the track laying when the bridge
across Lawyers cfenyon is completed.
| Farmers in the Salmon river coun-
try are delivering large quantities OF
vegetables to the prairie towns and
the railroad camps. The demand for
garden products has materially ad-
vanced the prices and large profits are
being enjoyed by farmers engaged II
this industry.
Haying on the Salmon river has
commenced and large yields are re-
ported. All crop conditions are mos
| favorable for big yields and the mar
ket is considered indicative of high
prices for wheat and all cereals.

FARMERS HOLD
FOR ADVANCE
Few Willing to Contract
at Present Good
Prices

Farmers in the Lewiston country
and all parts of the prairie sections
are expecting high prices for all grains
this year. This fact Is better evil
denced by the refusal of farmers to
contract their crop at prices now Of
fered by the grain companies which
are from 15 to Is cents higher than
the early season contract prices offer
ed last year. at which time a large
quantity of the crop was secured by
contracts.
Grain reports from all parts Of the
country indicate good price this year
ana it is this condition which has
pressed the price up to the present
offering. Some few contracts have
been reported from outside stations,
but as a rule the farmers prefer to
hold their crop for the later market
expecting a material advance for all
grains by fall.
| Grain dealers state that at the pres
emit time the forecast of the crop in
the Lewiston and Clearwater country
is made without a competent basis.
Grain in the country between Lapwai
creek and Lewiston and the Potlatch
country is in need Of rain while all OF
the country beyond Lapwai creek and
in the prairie sections, the grain is in
fine condition and needs no rain at
this time
The Potlatch country has been un-
fortunate this year In being missed by
the recent heavy rains, which visited
the prairie and highlands country, but
rain within the next ten days would
result in much benefit to all sections
/ Farmers from the Tammany section
state the early spring grain is in need
of rain The fall grain is looking well
and the late spring seeding will pro-
duce full crop If rain visits the
country within the next few days, but
1t is feared the early seeding will not
make a full crop under any conditions

Heinrs and the AmaIeamatod.

In the June McClure's "The Fight
the Copper Kings" by C. P. Connolly,
tells an amazing story of F. Augustus
Heinze's single-handed fight to drive
the Amaigamated Copper COMPANY
Gan offshoot of the Standard oil) GU,
OF Montana. The war waged in Mon
tana's law courts, in it's business and
political life and both above and be-
low ground In the mines. 1t is one o.
the most sensational and important
chapters In the mining history Of the
West, and abounds in scenes as lurid
and sensational as anything on the
melodramatic stage.
In the disputed territory and veins
Of the michael Davitt'' mine. Clark's
miners, in the face of an injunction,
were looting the rich veins when the
Amalgamated miners broke in on
them and pitched battle began with
water and slaked lime, powder smoke
and steam. Several men were rem
dered unconscious. At another time
two miners were killed on the under
ground firing line" as they called
the place where these battles &C.
cured.
For looting the Amalgamated
Michael Davitt" mine of what was
estimated to be 100000 worth OF ore
Heinze was fined $4,000, which he
quickly paid. But paradoxical as the
statement may seem, Heinze's fight
and his underground development OF
the Amaigamated mines finally en-
Tiched the properties OF the Amalga-
mated, for Heinxe seems to have an
-enchanted pick" and uncovered vast
deposits OF copper which the AmaIga-
mated, with their methods, would
probably never have discovered.

How He Fooled Justice.

The late Captain "Joe"> Nicholson
used to tell of a longtime prisoner
who had been in the house of correc-
tipn while the captain ran that insti-
tuition.
Just before his term expired the
convict called the captain and told
him that justice was now due and that
an honest man would start afresh In
the world. says the Boston Herald.
But you have told me several times
that you We're innocent Of the charge
on which you were sent here"
so was, Captain 'Joe,' and I can
prove 1t. Here are the names of three
witnesses. Get their statements and
see whether I am lying"
Just as matter of curiosity tho
captain complied and found convinc-
ing proof OF the mans innocence.
The convict was called in and In.
dignantly asked why he had not used
his evidence in getting new trial.
TN tell you, captain. In my time l
was acquitted three or four times
when I was guilty, so when was con-
virted of something I never did I Just
thought I'd even things UP by taking
my medicine without kicking. Be-
sides that, It sort>of tickled me to md
that justice had missed me at every
shot"

OF both law and public sentiment u "
time for the citizens 10 wake UP anu
take action.
The state of Vermont has mad OK
once both under prohibition ana iooa'
option. In 1902 a local option law was
adopted according TO which every town
was to decide whether II would remain
dry. or have saloons. the following year.
when the vote first was put under TINS
lave o2 out of ei6 towns voted for sa-
looms. saws the Record Herald. The
next year the number fell to 40, the
year after to "a and In 1906 to 20. The
Ia,est vote In all the towns combined
showed about 5000 majority agains'
the saloons. When the prohibition law
was abandoned the majority of the
change was only 1000.
This provcs what experience teaches
citizens regarding the curse of
drunkenness az promoted by law-de'
diving saloonkeepers. The saloons are
breeding places OF crime. The income
communities derive from them is more
than lost in the expenses Of taking care
OF criminals and paupers whose mis-
fortunes can be traced, directly or In
directly, to drink and kindred OWLS.

PETITION FOR HIGH SCHOOLS

The petition presented to the Governor
and Legislature. by a committee Oh
which Mr.. L. Il. Eggertsen OF Provo 10
the chairman, asking for an appropris
ton for the high schools, should ne
carefully considered.
At the late election a proposition 10
use part OF the school funds for the
support of the high schools was decided
In the affirmative. but this pet'tioh
goes further than that. 1t asks Tot IN
creased taxation in favor OF the class
of schools referred to. It is doubtful
whether, had that question been put
TO tho taxpayers. the result of the vote
would have been the same. That IS
the reason why the subject OF the pc
tition should be carefully considered.
some way should be found, II possible
TO meet the expressed desire oil the
taxpayers, without increasing the bur-
dens which are heavy enough now.
II is undoubtedly true that state aid
for the high schools would enable a.
greater number of boys and girls to
continue their studies after having
passed the district schools; II Is also
true that high school education would
become cheaper; educators tell us that
with that class of institutes of learn
ing supported in the principal cities OF
the State the cost for each pupil would
be reduced from 5l45 to sI5; that Is to
say. the same amount of money would
VA, so inuch farther. These arguments
have their weight. II extravaganza is
justified in any direction. 1t is when in
dulged in inteligently for educational
purposes. But the end the petitioners
seek to obtain can be gained, we have
no doubt, without further increase in
the amount of taxes assessed against
the property of the citizens.

CUT DOWN THE SPEED.


The automobile speed nuisance is as
Stunning dangerous form in Salt Lake.
That there have becn no serious acct
dents or fatalities of late, is due more
10 good luck than TO good Judgment. for
these great machines are almost invari-
ably driven far beyond the bounds of
public safety, and very close calls from
death arc constantly occurring in both
business and residence districts.
1t Is no uncommon sight to see dar-
ing chauffeur. who likes to feel the
thrills" and experience the "sensa-
ton OF cutting corners" dash In and
out of Main street with a velocity that
is fairly frightening. even to strong
mon, to say nothing OF timid women
and children. 1t is not to be presumed
that their skill will always be able to
pilot them through the openings they
make amid the crowded throngs of
pedestrians on street crossings and
elsewhere. Rather is it probable that
one of these days there may be a dread
full tragedy to record unless there shall
be an abatement OF the speed evil. The
fact that serious mishaps have becn in
frequent IN Salt Lake seems 10 have
developed an extreme reck1essness and
daring on the part of the speed fiends
until the limitations OF the law and the
patience of the public have both been
shattered. Our broad streets doubtless
have much TO do with keeping accidents
of the automobile kind down TO a miEi-
mum, but because they are wide they
do not carry with them license for
machine driver to cut capers upon them
in defiance of the city ordinances that
he may simply experience This. thrill
and sensations aud be able to regalc
his fellow speed annihllators with his
most recent exploits of skill and daring.
Besides it should be made clear to all
owners and drivers OF automobiles that

speed either at midnight or in the day
