Quite a number of railroad

this week enroute from Culdesac
to the new camps south of this
place. Fifty of the horses went
to the Emmons camp near Fem,
Is to the Shandahl camp, Is to
the Johnson camp, 6 to the
Bergstrom camp and 10 remained
at the Egan camp here in town.
Most of the teams hauled scrap

sufficient men can be secured to
handle them work will begin in
earnest. Fred Johnson has all

General Superintendent Carl
son was in the city Tuesday from
Culdesac on a tour of inspection
over the line and visited the
camps between this place and
Grangeville. He found every
thing in good condition and there
is little doubt but that the work
will be far enough along to allow
the cars to reach this place yet
this fall and perhaps run into
Grangeville.

Was a Good Ball Game.

The base ball game played here
Saturday between the local nine
and the Grangeville high school
team resulted in a victory for the
home team, the score standing 9
to7. The game was very good
for the first one and was witness
cd by quite a crowd of our citia
qens, Some good plays, and
some mighty bad ones, were
made by both teams. Eller and
Peterson were the battery for
the locals and Williams, Price
and Brown for the visitors.
Part Of the visiting team return
ed home that evening while the
rest remained here to be REIN
forced by members of the first
nine and play another game
Sunday but the rain put a stop to
the game and the players were
forced to go home without test
ing their strength.
The local team will leave to-
morrow for Kamiah to play the
team at that place Sunday and,
if arrangements can be made,
will return by way of Kooskia,
Sites and Grangeville, playing
games at each of those places.
Indications are that a strong
team will be organized here this
summer and some good games
can be expected.

THROW OPEN MILLION ACRES.

Washington, May 14.-Com-
missioner General BalIinger of
the land office announces that
local land offices have been noti-
fed that on July q about 385, $40
acres in La Grande, the Dalles
and other Oregon land districts
will be subject to settlement, also
lands surrounding the Cascade
national forest. About 1872, ,920
acres near the Heppner national
forest on the same date will be
subject to settlement and entry.
In all about ], 1000, 900 acres have
been released and official notice
has been sent to the local land
offices.
These lands had been Temporal
rily withdrawn for inclusion in
national forests, but on examina-
ton were found to be better
suited for other purposes and
hence are restored. The action
taken is proof of the sincerity
of the land Office in recent an
nouncements of its intention to
restore withdrawn lands as
rapidly as they are proven not
suitable for forests.
Notices have been received at
the Missoula land Office ordering
a restoration of lands withdrawn
in the Cabinet, National and
Lewis and Clark reserves. The
largest restoration is the Cabi-
net reserve, comprising "a town
ships, extending from Plains
west to the Idaho line, embrac-
ing an area of about $4,000
acres. The lands in the Cabinet
reserve will become subject to
settlement July % next, but not
to entry filing and selection until
August Ia. The order restoring
the lands to settlement was
signed by Commissioner R. A.
Ballinger. -Genesee News.

understand that nearly S40O has
already been raised for the cele-
bration and there is no reason
why Cottonwood cannot put up
two days of fun and amusement

year that will be remembered for
many years to come. The cele-

much better if our citizens viii

We consider the following
communication to the The Free
Press. on the Sunday Rest Law
SO pertinent that we reproduce
it:
Editor Free Press:
It is commendable, the spirit
shown in Grangeville by all
classes in observing the Sunday
rest law. / will venture to say
not town in Idaho Of the same
size, conformed SO strictly to its
regulations, but / am satisfied
that sooner or later violations Of
the law will occur, so that its
enforcement will be a dead let
ter, owing to the determinations
or the law.
The law in numerous ways has
many merits, but it is open to
criticism in others, which will
ultimately result in its repeal or
the enactment Of a law that does
not discriminate. Considered
from a purely theological stand
point there is absolutely no war
rant for the Sunday laws in
operation in most Of our so-called
Christian states. The old Jew
ish Sabbath was a day of rest,
of feasting and rejoicing very
different from that Of the second
temple and the Puritanical Sum
day which the laws in question
seek to re-establish. Christ
recognized the Jewish Sabbath
and the Christians observed It'll
and no other. We have thous-
ands Of good citizens who OBJ
serve this day and regard Satur-
day as the true Sabbath. Shall
we COMPEL these people to stulti-
fly themselves in this country of
religious liberty, where every
man is supposed to be privileged
to worship God according to the
dictates of his own conscience.
A man should certainly not be
allowed to fill his hide with mean
whiskey and become personally
offensive to those to whom Sun
day possesses a sacrosanct char
acter; but he shall be compelled
on all days to conduct himself
with decency and decorum or
suffer the consequences. It is
high time the old blue laws were
regulated to oblivion. Christ
ianity stands for optimism, not
pessimism. 1t is a religion of
joy instead of sorrow, of laugh
ter rather than tears, of light
and life, not Of gloom and death.
Viewed from a purely econmoic
standpoint the Sunday holiday is
to be commended, and not a day
of penace confning all Of the
people to the narrow, theological
views of those whom a different
birth might have changed their
ideas of western dogmatism. 1t
is not right to emancipate the
average working-man from the
slavery of his daily treadmill and
deny him the right to recreate
himself as he may choose. Sum
day, to really benefit the average
person, to put fresh vigor in his
veins and new courage in his
heart, to remind him that he is a
man, not a machine, should be as
free from restraint as possible.
There is true worship of God in a
happy, joyful heart engaged in
the unrestraint pursuits of his
own inclinations if of a true
character. / have no word to
say in derogation of the Christi
an sabbath, but / do insist the
observance or more observance
thereof is a matter soley between
the peoples conscience and their
creator, that they are free to
determine what they may and
may not do properly on that day
and that any laws upon the
statute books is and invasion Of
