Cottonwood Boy An Athlete.

Lewiston high school during
her short athletic career has
given the inland empire a num-
Der of stars and there are more
to come. One of the first was
little Lloyd Fem, the great
sprinter, and then came Earl
Storer, who can ably fill Fem 5
shoes. But there is another
luminary coming into a promin-
ent place and that is COTE Eek
ert, hurdler. Long limbed and
strong limbed, Eckert takes to
hurdles like a duck to water.
He spread-eageled his opponents
in the low hurdles the other day
at Walla Walla, winning in the
fairly good time Of 27 AS. At
Pullman at the triangular meet
Saturday, a Whitman college
hurdler lowered the inland en-
pire collegiate record, doing the
stunt in 81 seconds. Eckert's
admirers and Coach Earl are
confident that the speedy fellow
can equal or lower this record.
He is showing up splendidly in
the high hurdles, also. Lewis
ton Tribune.
COTE Eckert is the son of our
well known citizen, ]. Z. Eckert,
and has been gaining quite an
athletic reputation lately. In
the recent field meet at Moscow
he won points in both the shot
put and discus throw besides
showing up well in other events.
1t is safe to say he will gain
further honors before he quits
school.

May Install a Water system.

]. H. Flanagan, son-in-law of
John Proctor, writes from
Marshfeld, Oregon, that he
expects to visit Cottonwood some
time this summer and will then
take up the matter of installing
a water system at this place pro-
vided no one gets in before he
gets here. Mr.. Flanagan is a
prominent banker of Marshfeld
and is also heavily interested in
two water systems of that state
so he would be in the best posi-
tion to know what kind of a sys-
TEN would best suit the needs of
this place. From the experience
he has had it is quite probable
he would install a gravity sys-
tenn here should he decide to
take the matter up at all and
would secure his water supply
from the mountain west of
town.
Cottonwood is badly in need of
a water system at this time and
the need will not become any
less as the town grows so it is
greatly to be hoped Mr.. Flana-
gan can secure the right privileg-
es when he visits us and be able
to install a good water system at
an early date.

Farmers Purchase
Fine Blooded Horse
STOCK COMPANY OF OUR WEALTHY FARMERS INVEST
$1,000 IN A FINE IMPORTED pERcHERON lsTAL-
LION WEIGHING 2l5O POUNDS.

It is not so very many years
ago that most of the horses rails
ed on Camas Prairie and in Ida
no county were Of the pure
cayuse breed but since the open
ing Of the reservation and the
settling up of the prairie the
tendency has been to raise a
better class of horses and conse-
quently a number of standard
bred horses have been brought
into the county, with the result
that quite a number of well sired
colts are now to be found here.
These conditions have made this
section a good market for horse
sellers and only this week a
magnificent animal of the Per-
cheron breed was disposed Of to
a number of our farmers for the
fancy price of $5, 900. The horse
has been on exhibition here for
three weeks and is one Of the
finest of mis- breed we have ever
seen. He is a beautiful Percher-

a full equipment of hooks and
ladders Of different kinds and
fire buckets and will be found
very efficient in fires where it is
necessary to get at the flames
from the roofs of buildings or
pull down structures to stop the
spread Of flames.
Mr.. See has just recently de-
livered an engine of the style
purchased here to the citizens Of
Sites and says they are well
pleased with their purchase.
Grangeville and Nezperce also
have engines of this kind, be-
sides having good water systems,
and find them very effective in
fighting fires.
The purchase of this fire fight
ing apparatus by the village
board is a very timely move and
one of which all our citizens
must heartily approve. Cotton
wood has needed something of
this kind for years and it is only
by great good luck that the town
has escaped fires thus far.
Even should the town secure a
water system in the near future
the engine will not be loss as
all towns Of any size have chem
ical engines in connection with
their water systems and statis-
tics show that most of the small
er fires are extinguished with
the chemical engines without re-
to the water systems.
Mr.. See stated the engine
would be shipped from the fac
tory at once and would reach
here in about thirty days, so it
can be expected to arrive not
later than the middle of June.

Village Board Purchases
Chemical Fire Engine
ALSO INVEST IN HOOK AND LADDER TRUCK AND FIT
UP TO FIGHT FUTURE FIREs---MOvE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN MADE LONG AGO

M. M. See, agent Of the
Northwestern Fire Apparatus
Co., Of Spokane, arrived in the
city Tuesday and took up the
matter of purchasing a chemical
fire engine with the board Of
village trustees with the result
that the chairman called a spe-
cial meeting of the board for
Wednesday morning at which
time the board closed deal
with Mr.. See for one Of his
company's double cylinder chem
ical engines and a hook and
ladder truck, the total cost Of
the engine and other equipment
being $1,000. The engine pur-
chased is one Of the best of its
kind manufactured and is in
general use all over the country
in the smaller towns and villages.
The engine has two cylinders
which operate singly SO that
while one is in use the other can
be recharged, thus giving a
constant flow of the fUid from
the engine without stopping to
load it after the original charge
is exhausted. The engine is
capable of generating a pressure
of 100 pounds from each cylinder
and as it takes about ten minutes
to exhaust a charge ample time
is given in which to reload the
other cylinder. Mr.. See gives an
ample guarantee with each en-
gine and will accompany the
machine here and demonstrate
its way of working and ability
and will also assist in organizing
a fire company to handle the en-
gine and fire trucks.
The hook and ladder truck has

PalOuse Land Goes Higgh.


John Weis, who recently ar
rived from Petersburg, Neb.,
this week closed a deal for the
Martin Meuli ranch of 1873 acres
one-half mile south of this city.
The purchase price was SIG, 900
or $3.50 per acre, which includes
the crop, stock and farm imple-
-Uniontown Press.
The editor of the CHRONICLE
is well acquainted with the above
farm and the price paid for it
only shows how farm land in
the west has advanced in price
in the past few years. Six years
ago this land could have
been purchased at about
500 per acre, or in round num-
bers, $500, without stock and
machinery. This shows a de-
cided raise in the price of land
there, and while Camas Prairie
soil has not made such marke d
advances in price in that time
as has the Palouse land it is still
coming up and as soon as the
railroad gets here to modernize
conditions it can be expected to
equal in price any of the lands
of that famous farming country.

A strong petition is being cir
culated and generally signed by
the residents of Idaho and Nez
Perce counties and will soon be
forwarded to Governor Gooding
for the establishing of
the new state fish hatchery on
Clear creek near Kooskia.
$3.50 was appropriated by the
last legislature for the establish
ment of a fish hatchery and the
money is now available. The
site mentioned in the petition is
one of the best to be found in

hoped the hatchery will be locat-

The new horticultural law,
at the late session of the
state legislature, is a very dras-
tic measure. Under the pro-
visions of the law as it is now in
force it is unlawful to offer for
sale or have in ones possession
fruit which is or has been infect
ed with San Jose scale or which
has been worm bitten in the
least. Heretofore it has been
unlawful to sell fruit infected
with scale or the codling moth,
but in the case of the latter it |
was required that the worm be
within the fruit at the time be-
fore it could be condemned. |
Now all that is required to cause
the fruit to be condemned is the
fact that the fruit has been Bit
ten by a worm. Inspectors are
given authority to destroy the
fruit on the spot. A careful Pc
rusal of the law viii lead the
orchardist to say some
very uncomplimentary things
about the late bunch Of law
makers. .-Genesee News.

 [ ARKANSAS \
To Protect Pearl Fisheries.

Dr. George F. Kunz, who is aiding the development of Arkansas diamond fields, is also actively engaged in pushing the movement to save the Western pearl fisheries from destruc- tion. A few. years ago mussels, from which pearls are obtained, were plen- tiful in all the Western rivers, but owing to their promiscuous slaughter by the fishermen the number is being rapidly diminished. New York dealers headed by Dr. Kunz, have recently sent petition to the proper authori- ties at Washington asking that ccn- ditions affecting the mussels be inves- tigated and steps taken to prevent their total extermination. Federal commissioners have already started on trip to investigate the Arkansas pearl fisheries of White river. After making this trip a report will be issued on the subject and it is thought that the industry will be placed unde: federal control in short time.

Frisco Buys Eridas,

The Fort Smith and Van Eusen Bridge Company has conveyed to the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway Company the bridge across the Arkan- sas river between Fort Smith and Van Buren. The consideration named in the deed is $500,000. This bridge was built in 1886 and as it's officers were closely identified with the directorate of the Frisco system, it was simply a corporation within corporation. The Iron Mountain has paid a minimum rental of $1,000 per month to run their passenger trains over the bridge between Fort Smith and Van Buren ever since the completion of the struc- ture, and it is believed here that before their lease expires in 1911 they will have a bridge of their own at this point and over which the Cur don branch will connect with the cen. tral division of the system.
