R. w. Hastings, of Walla
Walla, and VIM. Hilton, of Ore
gon, representing Balfour-Guth-

house, arrived in the city yester-
day afternoon from the prairie
district. Mr.. Hastings has been

ures of the company's operations.
Their visit to the prairie region
east of Lewiston was in connec-
ton with establishing warehouses
along the line of the new rail-
road. They made the trip with
Mr.. Baillie, of the company, and
after the sites were selected, they
devoted their attention to the
matter of arranging for the
construction of the buildings.
Mr.. Hastings stated yesterday
afternoon bids had been received
for the necessary lumber and
that Mr.. Hilton would return to
the district today to close the
contracts. He said the company

Citizens of Cottonwood Raise $500 to Pay Expense of Best
Celebration to be Held in Central Idaho This Year
A $3.50 PURSE FOR BALL GAMES
The Three Fast Teams From lilo, Nezperce and Kamah will
Contest-$175 in Purses Hung for Other Sports


Cottonwood's celebration this
year is going to be a hummer
and no mistake.
Nearly $700 has been subscrib-
ed by the citizens to defray the
expenses of the celebration and
the two days will be crowded as
full of sports and amusements as
it is possible to crowd them.
Good weather has been ordered
for the occasion and no item
liable to make the celebration
more successful will be over
looked. The ball games for the
two days between four of the
fastest teams in central Idaho
will be events worth going miles
to see and crowds from all Sec
tions of the country are expected
here to see the games played and
enjoy the other features of the
celebration.

Ravages Of The High Water.

The damages resulting from
the high water last week were
not as heavy as might be sup
posed, although quite heavy
enough. Along the Clearwater
the wagon bridges at Sites and
Kooskia,- and one between the
two towns, were washed away.
The Grangeville electric power
plant dam above Harpster also
went out, as was reported. At
Sites some damage resulted to
merchandise in the stores as a
result of the high water, while
gardens, fences, sidewalks and
some of the streets were badly
damaged. A couple small
bridges in Lawyers canyon and
on Cottonwood creek were wash
ed away.
At While Bird the electric
light plant and planning mill were
washed away by high water in
White Bird creek.
Part of the railroad grade be-
low Kooskia was washed out but
damage below Kamiah was very
slight. Sites seemed to have
borne the brunt of the flood and
was fortunate in escaping with
as light a loss as it did.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1908-06-12

the three visiting teams has
been hung. This is the largest
purse ever hung in this country
for ball games and some swift
playing will be necessary to
carry it away. The teams sign
ed for the contest are Nezperce,
lilo, Kamiah and Cottonwood.
Just how the games will be ar
ranged has not yet been decided
but that each team will have a
fair, impartial try for the purse
is certain. In order not to
crowd too much base ball into
the celebration it has been de-
cided to play the opening game
of ball on the afternoon of July
I'd. The second game will be
played on the afternoon of the
Sd and the final game for the
big purse on the afternoon of
the 4th.
Following is the program for
the two days as far as outlined:

way by July Is and have them
completed in time for the recep-
tion of the new crop.
The warehouses will be erected
at Reubens, Vollmer, Steunen-

Grangeville. Each warehouse
will be 200 feet in length by go
feet in width and will have a
storage capacity of $4,000 sacks.

points" said Mr.. Hastings, will
be large stations. Reubens will
probably prove to be the smallest
of these. +"
Asked as to why the Balfour-
Guthrie company had not earlier
entered this field as grain buyers,
Mr.. Hastings said: "Candidly,

Nezperce To Have A Railroad.

At meeting held at Nezperce
last Saturday arrangements
were finally completed for the
building of a branch line of rail-
road to connect that town with
the main line at point near Voll-
mer. q. A. Johnson, the pioneer
citizen of Nezperce, who gave
that town it's flour mill, water
system and electric system, has
taken up the proposition of build
ing the railroad line and will
make it go.
The road will be about IL
miles long and will cost about
5000, 900. Mr.. Johnson asks a
bonus of $50,000 and a free
right-of-way and will provide the
rest of the sinews of war him
self. Most of the bonus money
was subscribed by business men
and farmers during the meeting
and it is stated there will be no
trouble about meeting all of the
requirements. Mr.. Johnson has
a years time in which to COM
plete the road but says he will
have it ready to haul off this
years crop. The residents of
Nezperce are very jubilant over
securing the railroad as it means
a new lease of life for that town
and a very great benefit to all of
the farming country tributary
thereto.

CHAPTER VII,
A Nioht in Nice,

The drive to Nice is not only short
but pleasant one. Mr.. Barnes. seated
by Lady Chartris, though chatting
ears open.
Once or twice the American listens
intently, he thinks he hears pursuing
hoofs. But these blend into the noises
of general traffic as they reach and
pass through the old town. Crossing
the river by the Pont Neuf and turning
down the Quai St. Jean. they drive
along the Avenue Massena nearly to
the sea
Though visitors have for the last
month been leaving the great watering
place by the Mediterranean there are
still enough sojourners to comfortably
fill the public gardens The band is
playing, the night is only pleasantly
warm, and Lady Chartris seems in
high spirits as Barnes says to her:
You can drop me anywhere now.
Only. where shall | meet you?"
AT the Hotel de la Mediterranee.
There Count Danella is doubtless wait
ing for me-" replies the hostess Call
for me at IL and I'll drive you back"
Barnes alights and, as he glances at
the neighboring Hotel des Anglais, he
recollects this had been the scene OF
his first call upon Enid when Lady
Chartris had invited him to accom-
pany her and her charge to Monte
Carlo. He can scarce believe it is only
a month ago since he had looked in
her face. His step grows light with
happiness.
Suddenly somebody in the passing
throng mentions the name of the fas-
cinating American adventures. A
Partisan countess is saying to a lady
friend: That La Blackwood crushes
us with her toilettes. Did you ever
see such robe as the wretch sported
today"

forgotten note from his pocket.

Illuminating medium of that epoch,
permits him to read:
