Eagles Make Jolly.

Friday night was Eagles night.
the occasion being the celebration
OF the fifth anniversary of the or
ganization of the local aerie and to
say the members proved themselves
royal entertainers, is putting it
mildly. Invitations were extend
ed to many and as result over
$50 Eagles and their friends were
present. The affair was in the
nature of a smoker and also in
cluded "good feed" After feast
ing to their hearts content cigars
were brought forth and speeches
were called for, some Of which were
very witty. The Eagles are, per-
haps, the. strongest order in the
city and besides taking care Of their

tain to attend any member in case
of sickness. Other admirable fea-

OF TIME
New Schedule Arranged on
the Clearwater Branch.
LEAVE HERE IN MORNING
Take Train at Sites at Eleven
Thirty for Lewiston

The. new schedule on the Clear
water line, which has been in force
since Sunday, is proving a great
convenience over the one formerly
adhered to and from those who trav-
ell the one remark is, of the advant-
age and convenience in travel by
the new over the old.
AS it now is the Clearwater
train leaves Lewiston at seven
O'Clock in the morning and meets
the Lewiston bound Owl train at
North Lapwai. Arrangements
have also been made for the trans.
fer of passengers on the Owl train,
who may be bound for Clearwater
points, at Arrow Junction. The
Owl train, Lewiston bound, will
reach the junction thirty minutes
before the arrival of the Sites
bound Clearwater train. This
period will allow time for the pass
engers transferring to eat break
fast at Arrow Junction. Mr.
kress, the storekeeper at that
point, will serve meals and stoves
will be installed at the depot to
make the place comfortable.
The train will arrive at Sites
lO:45 in the morning. Departing
train leaves Sites at 1l:3O and
arrives at Lewiston 3:l5 in the
afternoon. The Lewiston Spokane
day train will arrive at Lewiston
1920 in the afternoon instead of
3:05, its old time.
The stage line from this point
to Sites has changed its schedule
so as to be in line with the rail-
road times. Hereafter the stage
will leave for Sites at 5 O'Clock in
the morning and arrive at 10
O'Clock. This will give plenty of
time for the travellers to get dinner
before taking the train. Stages
will return at noon and get here
about six in the evening, this will
give the incoming passengers time
for dinner at Sites before coming
on the prairie.
AS the schedule now is we can
leave Grangeville say five O'Clock
Monday morning get in Sites for
dinner, take train out at noon,
arrive in Lewiston 3:15 the same
afternoon, attend to our business
matters and take sleeper which
is on the track there, and wake
up the next morning in Spokane.
Considerable of protest has
gone in from Sites but as the Owl
has never been a payer to the road
and the day train was over crowded
it is very doubtful if the company
would change the new schedule
which divides up their Spokane
passenger business by making the
Owl the Prairie train. The people
of the Prairie are more than pleas
ed with the new arrangements and
would put in a vigorous protest il
they thought there was the least
danger. 1t is mighty hard tc
satisfy all parties concerned and
for great many years the Prairie
people have COTTON the worst ol
it.

R. R. COMING FAST
Will be Here by Middle of Year
at Least.
DIRT WORK is COMPLETED
Will be at Vollmer in a Very
Short Time.

There is every indication that
the railroad will be in the city by
July and its pretty safe bet we
will ride out over the steel even be-
fore that date. Steel is already
laid as far as Kippen and when
track laying is completed to Voll-
mer a regular train service will be
established.
From time to time we hear ru-
mors of this having gone wrong, or
that being short and that we will
not see the road completed at the
time we are expecting it. Just re-
Gently the story was going around
to the effect that the steel for the
Lawyers Canyon trestle was not Of
the proper dimensions and the en-
tire structure would have to be
ordered again. But it is nothing
more or less than deliberate false
hood. The steel is, and has been
for some time, on the tracks at
Culdesac. just as soon as the rails
are laid to Vollmer and the head of
the Canyon, work will begin on
this mamoth structure. Supt. Carl
son was in the city the last Of the
week and stated the work in the
yards at Cottonwood was complet-
ed and with this week the switches
and terminal grounds here, would
be turned over to the company. 1t
is the intention OF the contracting
company to complete their work
this fall and they hope to be able
to by this week. A message was
received from st. Paul, Saturday,
instructing a cut of 20 cents a day
in the wages OF all men employed
on the work and also notification
to the effect of an additional cut by
the first of the month. But this
will not effect the labor necessary
to complete the work here to any
great extent as this week will wit
ness it's completion. The contrac-
tors and railroads throughout the
west have heen forced to pay ex-
ceedingly high wages during the
past summer and then were unable
to get the men they should have,

TWO P|0NEERSD DIE
lWo Former Idaho County
Citizens Called.
THINNING OF THE RANKS
Year by Year Trail Blazers
Pass From This World.

Two former Idaho county pio-
neers have passed away within the
past week and thus the ranks of
the trail blazer diminish from year
to year. Those who have expert
enced the hardships of the west
and are departing one by one to
that land of rest, have lived to see
the once barren and rugged coun-
try turned to the habitat of
civilization and happiness. Where
these early empire builders strug-
gIed with nature on one hand the
savage redman on the other, today
is the home Of their children who
are reaping joys and pleasures won
tor them by grey-haired mothers
and fathers.
Passed Away at Eugene, Ore-
Mrs. Mary White, one of those

Death of Former Citizen.
The death of J. II Upton, a
former resident of Camas Prairie,
occurred at Charleston Tuesday,
November -. The deceased, who
was 63 years of age, came to this
county in 1888 and resided here
until five years ago when he moved
to Charleston to enjoy well earned
rest from his many years of toll.
He is the father of two daughters
who have preceded him to the
other world and besides his wife he
is survived by eight grandchildren.
Mr.. Upton was a man always in
terested in the welfare of the COM
munity in which he lived and
never missed an opportunity to do
good to his fellow men. He was
a member of the Presbyterian
church and was known for his
many Christian acts. Funeral
services we're held at Charleston
