Moreover the facts as they exist are
but an incentive 10 the bears, who have
grown fat and rich at the same time in

the bears are liable to break loose at
any time, especially on every rally OF

The fact that some OF the leading rail-

against rise. No one seems to know

Odd Fellows Have 4 High Time.

There was a grand time in Cot
tonwood Saturday evening in Odd
Follow circles, it being the occa-
sion of the initiation of some 21
members of the local lodge into
the Encampment Of that order.
The Grangeville team, consisting
of Henry Williams, grand patri-
arch of the Odd Fellow lodge of
the state of Idaho, R. Amber,
Harry Wallis and H. Rothwell,
came over to put the local candi-
dates through their PAGES. After
the initiation ceremonies were
completed the members adjourn
ed to the banquet room where a
bountiful supper was served by
the ladies of the Rebekah lodge,
to which all did ambIe justice.
Afterward the evening was spent
in general enjoyment and so
pleasant was the time had that
the meeting did not break up un-
til after 5 O'Clock next morning.
1t was originally intended to
initiate class of thirty candi-
dates into the mysteries of the
order but owing to the bad wealth
er and roads some of the men
could not get here and these will
be taken in later.
Taken altogether, the time
had was one of the most pleasant
ever spent in Cottonwood and
| it will be long remembered by all
who attended it.

to it it does not become effective
until some time next month so
that an election held in April
would not come under the new
law and as the law becomes eff
fective before the first Monday
in June an election could not
properly be held then. However
as all are satisfied with the re-
suit of the election Saturday it is
doubtful if the question of its
legality will be raised at all.

Will Move Out on the Prairie
to New Work.

The railroad camps between
this place and Ferdinand, which
have been working several hum
dred men for the past several
months, have practically complet-
ed their contracts and will soon
take new contracts or leave the
prairie. Bergstrom Bros. are al
most through with their work
and expect to move one camp to
a new location south of this place
in the very near future. The
other camp will remain at it's
present location for a few weeks
until the men can complete what
work still remains unfinished
there and then he will move to
the new contract south of here.
Anderson & Hanley, who have
the contract just north of this
place, have almost completed
their work and will soon be ready
to take a new contract or move
to other points. They have not
yet decided just what they will
do,
Tom Eapen, who has the con-
tract through this place and has
been working a large crew here
since early last fall, has also
about completed his contract and
at present has only about Is men
at work. He will finish up in a
few weeks more and may decide
TO take a new contract futhel
