Berlin. May 50-Heinrich Conreid. who
fer the past two months has been lying
on his back at the Kaiserhof Hotel
hardly able TO move his limbs, owing to
a form of locomotor ataxia, walked near
ly two-thirds of a mile yesterday un-

ment given him by Dr. Fraenkel, which
consists in making the patient walk the
floor. placing his feet according to chalk

The treatment was begun five months
ago by massage. when Dr. Fraenkel was

assured by the fact that half a dozen
patients, formerly unable to walk, are

ENIERPFdSlNd CITIZENS RAISE $2OOOCOO TO PUT IN
WATER SYSTEM AND WILL START WORK on
1T AS SOON AS FRANCHISE IS GRANTED

A number of the prominent
business men of the city met
Wednesday evening at the
office of the Camas Prairie Land
Co. and organized a new COM
pany to be known as the Cotton
wood Water and Light Co. The
new company is composed of
practically the same men as the
former company but instead of
asking the village for any favors
the stockholders of the new
company have decided to take
the matter of providing the city
with water and light up on an
independent basis and put in the
system at their own expense.
The new company is capitalized
at $4,000 and of this amount
$9,250 was raised Wednesday
evening at the meeting among
seven men. Yesterday the rest
of the stock was subscribed for
among the different business
men of the city and in a few
days the new company will be
ready to ask the city council for
a franchise to operate here. AS
soon as the franchise is secured
work will be commenced at the
earliest possible date on the
system and it is hoped to have it
completed and the water turned
on early next summer.
The action of the citizens in so
taking hold Of the
project and deciding to put in a
water system of their own shows
that they realize the necessity of
having a good water system and
have faith enough in their town
to invest their money in such a
venture. That their confidence
is not misplaced we feel assured
and all should join in giving
their best support to the
company, both to help in
getting the system in operation
and patronizing it, after it is in
stalled.
It is also the aim of the COM

portation facilities. The North
ern Pacific construction has
brought this grain out, as the
road will be able to carry it to
market this fall.
Six carloads of cattle have
been bought in the Lewiston
country by F. A. Stevens, of
Wallace; the price paid being b
cents. The cattle bought are
dry milk cows and will be taken
overland to Moscow, where ship
ment wilr be made to northern
points. The price now being
paid is an advance of about one
half cent over last years quota
tions and amounts to about SIS
per animal.
Six cents a bushel for oats and
barley and seven cents for wheat
in the stack are the charges that
have been decided upon by the
threshing men of Nez Perce
prairie for this season. Where
wheat has to be hauled to the
machine another cent per bushel
will be added. Farm hands are
scarce, and though many have
come into the harvest fields this
week, there is still a great de-
mand for men. .

droves of hogs, cattle and horses
will come out from that country
over the new road to this maket.
While the road has been a
hard one to build it provides an
easy grade to the prairie from
the river and is the easiest out

river. Eventually it will be an
important road, both to this
place and the country across the
river, and our citizens can feel
pleased that it is at last open to
traffic.

Hail Storm
Damages Crops
Storm Last Friday Damages Sew
eral Fields South of Denver and
North of GrangeviIIe --- Storm
Went in Streak.

A heavy thunder storm visited
Camas Prairie on Friday after
noon of last week and was ac-
companied by hail in some Sec
tons. The storm was not ac-
companied by wind but a soak
ing rain fell and the electrical
display lasted for several hours.
The storm seemed to gather in
the Salmon river country and
coming up Rocky canyon swept
across the prairie in a northeast
erly direction to the country
across the Clearwater. The hail
storm struck in the VonBargen
district south of Denver and did
considerable damage to the fields
Of grain. The fall wheat on the
Henry Meyer farm was almost
entirely destroyed and several
other fields in that vicinity were
badly damaged. After striking
there the storm seemed to lift
and struck again a few miles
north of GrangeviIle where sew
eral fields of oats, wheat and
barley were practically demolish-
ed. One field Of barley belong
ing to Sam Hamill was entirely
destroyed, the hail knocking the
heads off and leaving the straw
standing as if the header had
just passed over it. The crop
on this place was heavy and
would probably have averaged
between 80 and 100 bushels to
the acre. A field of oats in that
neighborhood was damaged
about so per cent and several
other fields were struck heavily
by the storm. The hail storm
seemed to follow the course TAX
en- by similar storms in years
past and in several places the
hail stones are said to have rang
ed from the size of a cherry to
that of a hen egg.
Luckily the storm was not ac-
cOmpanied by wind and no grain
was damaged except where the
hail struck. While the storm
covered the entire prairie and
hail fell in several section it was
quite small and harmless except
In the places above mentioned.
Had the hail storm been general
and accompanied by wind the
damage to grain on the prairie
would have been incalculable as
all Of the fields of grain would
have been beaten down and the
heaviest crop grown here for
years destroyed in an hour.

later engaged in the mercantile
business there for a number of
years. He was we'll educated,
being a graduate of the same law

Besides being an ardent demo-

in the political life of this county
he was always promp in assist
ing any project for the advance
ment of his home town and
county.
AS a member of the Odd Eel

crowd of friends being present
at the last rites.
