BI-CENTENNIAL NOTES.


 The several divisions of the big Bi- Centennial Parade are now definitely fixed, but as more participants are con- stantly coming forward, it is not yet possible to give the exact details. The divisions will be as follows, though probably not in the order here given:
 First division: Police, military, Governor and staff, Grand rmy, dis tinguiShed guests, band, Chief Mar shal, Samuel R. Hill; Aides, Perry Green, Noble Booth, Charles Pomeroy; orderlies, Misses Louise Beeman, Made line Todd, Parthenia Todd.
 Second division: Bremen, bands Marshall, David Soule; aides, Henry Rothe, Calvin Crossman, Peter s. Nolan.
 Third division: School children. Marshal, George E. Ackley; aides, M. W. Keeler, Clifford Trowbridge, Will liam Beeman.
 Fourth division: Colonial and Indus. trial, band. Marshall, Henry O. Warner: aides, Clifford Marsh, James Marsh, John T. Underhill, Jr. The parade will be very long one and full of most interesting features not the least important of which will be the review by Governor Woodruff The opening exercises of Saturday on the Green, June 15, will be worth attending. The flag-raising, artiller, salutes, band, and above all the splen didly trained chorus of 100 singers will be very impressive. Then the ad dress of welcome will fittingly mari the opening of New Miiford's greates | event.

BAD ''H0SS' TRADE

Cause Serious Trouble.
RESULTED IN AN ARREST
however Court Finds Him NOT
Guilty.

Judge Vineyards court was in
session again Monday morning; the
case being that Of State of Idaho VS.
Otto Aichlmeyer, a young rancher
living in the vicinity Of Cotton.
wood, who was charged with the
theft OF horse by DIR. J. E. Gal
logly. The story, as told by the
young man was about as follows:
1t seems the defendent was down
at the Kooskia tramway, about a
week ago, and while there got up a
"hoss trade" with Gallogly, The
Doctor swaped him a team of
horses, not Of tho prancing bay
variety, but something supposed to
he good faithful work team, for
q high-stepper the young man was
driving. The Doctor, so Aichl-
myer claims, guaranteed the team
true to pull, good to work or the
trade should be called off. But the
Doctor says there was no such un-
derstanding,
Aichlmyer returned home with
his newly acquired property and
shortly after hitched the horses tc
a light load of wheat. And al.
though persuaded by kind words
and threats they refused to hudge
and stood staupch and silent as the
Sphinx.
Last Friday he took the horses
and started to Kooskia where he
intended to effect an exchange as
per agreement. 1t was late in the
afternoon when he led the equi,
nine beauties from their stall and
the journey was slow tedious one
owing to the infirmities of age OF
the horse flesh. He did not arrive
at the Tramway until late in the
evening and being unable to find
the Doctor, went in the barn, un,
tied his horse and left the pair In
it's stead. The last of the week the
Doctor procured a warrant for his
arrest on the above charge. After
listening to the evidence in the
case, the court decided there was
nothing to show a theft had beer
committed and released the defen.
dant. Atty. Casady defended and
Griffith prosecuted,

LARGE Hoo RANCH
To be Established Near Town
This Spring.
BIG MONEY FOR PROMOTERS
Local Party and Canadian Are
The Promoters.

Plans have been perfected and
ground secured for a mammoth
hog ranch near Grangeville. The
promoters are our fellow towns
men, S. G. Benedict and William
Kyle of Canada. They have se-
cured tract of 800 acres just west
of town and are now busy fencing
off some sixty acres with a hog
tight fence. The remainder of the
land will be planted to wheat.
Portable hog sheds will be built
and the farm arranged in the best
possible manner for the breeding
of hogs. They will secure about
100 brood sows to start with and
ought to have in the neighborhood
of 600 or 700 hogs for market by
next fall.
1t is the intention to secure all
the kitchen refuse from Grange
vile and wagon will gather
up the same daily.
With hogs at six cents pound,
country free from disease and

is one of the most lucrative occupa-
tion on the prairie. Many an Ida

ARE TREATING ORE
Buster Mill Will be Running in
Few days.
MINING HAS BEEN RESUMED
Underground Work Employs
Over Twenty mon.

Actual mining was resumed at
the Buster mine Tuesday morning
of this week, and Supt. Joseph
Thorn states that the underground
force will be gradually added to,
until probably 20 men will be EN-.
ployed. A number of men employ
ed on the construction work and
installing machinery, are slated for
underground work and will gradu-
ally take their places there, as the
surface work is completed. A day
shift only will be employed for the
present, it being the plan to treat
only the ore taken out while block
ing out and ascertaining the dimen.
sions of the ore bodies. Two men
are employed shoveling ore from
the dumps and filling the bins for
the purpose of making a mill test
and to "fill up the cracks"
The first breaking of rock was
done on the east face in level No.
3, from which point raise will be
made to the surface, 300 feet. The
mouth Of the raise will be about
200 feet east of the main working
shaft.
Mr.. Thorn states no more sink
ing will be done for the present,
but all underground work will be
concentrated on the raise and in
extending the levels along the veins.
The new stamp mill will be ready
for use the later part of this week
or the first of next. Trial runs
have been made of the concentra-
tors, and it has been found that
the adjustments are perfect.
The cyanide plant is sort of
slighted in the hurry to get the
mill started. One of the storage
tanks is completed. A building il
built over the hoist engine and VIM.
Erricson is in charge of the station
The ore crusher is working, and
though the mill will be running in
the next few days the finishing OF
the buildings will require several

Had a Runaway.

While out driving in the coun-
try last week Frank Richardson
and sewing machine man from
Spokane had a lively runaway.
They were coming down the grade
near the Allen ranch when the
tongue came down and resulted in
the team breaking away from the
wagon and heading for town at a
|2:40 clip. When the tongue struck
the ground, Mr.. Richardson and
his companion were pitched from
the buggy, Richardson striking his
face on the ground and breaking
sod for quite stretch. You can't
kill a sewing machine agent and OF
course this one got off without SC
much as scratch.

School Report.

We have not time to mention
the mar y things for which we are
thankful, but one one is for good
appetite and one day in which to
use it. We hope not to abuse.
Several children of late have
been pretending to be in school
when in reality they were far from
it, tax ing lessons in deceit and
fraud. Parents who care for their
children IS welfare will do we'll to
know for themselves where their
children really are. Most of our
pupils, we are glad to say, are
working well and making excellent
progress but some few are not and
will not unless the parents help the
teachers in every way possible.
We recently picked up six sheets
of good tablet paper used, or pre-
tended to have been used, by one
pupil in starting to write story
or paragraph. The paper was
thrown away wholly wasted. We
find mnch of this in the several
grades and we hope the parents
will aid De in trying to stop this
uncalled for waste.
