Cream Business Developing.

1t may surprise some of our
readers to learn that between
1000 and 1900 pounds of cream
are being shipped from this
place each week to the Hazel
wood creamery at Spokane and
the Commercial creamery at
Lewiston. Considering the short
time since the agents entered
this territory the business has
picked up rapidly and as time
advances the business will in
crease more and more rapidly.
Already several of our farmers
have purchased cream separators
and are getting their herds into
shape to go into the business
proper and we predict that a few
years will see this section one of
the best dairy districts of the
west as it is peculiarly adapted
to successful dairying and the
people residing here are class
that will make such an occupa-
ton pay we'll even under un-
favorable conditions.
At present the cream is being
delivered about equally to both
cream companies but in time it
will be the company able to pay
the best prices that will corner
the bulk of the trade.

Democratic County Convention Held at Graneeve Last
Saturday Resulted in War of Words
DELEGATES co UNRESTRICTED
Dubois Forces Win by Very Close Margin but Delegates
Not Instructed and Many Not Dubois Men

AS had been expected, the
democratic county convention,
held last Saturday at Grangeville
to elect delegates to the state
convention at Twin Falls, result
ed in a big fight over the Dubois
Mormon issue. Most of the
county precincts were represent
ed at the convention and the del
egates for and against the Du-
bois issue were about equally
divided.
Everything in the convention
went smoothly until the COM
mittee on resolutions reported.
Then the storm broke. One
resolution expressed the conven-
ton as being in favor of a plank
demanding "the determination
of polygamy within the jurisdic-
tion of the United States and
separation of church and state in
political affairs. On this reso-
luton the fight hinged and it
grew decidedly hot during the
discussion of the question, the
lie being handed freely back and
forth and several choice bits of
private history being aired dur
ing the debate. Judge Scales
then proposed an amendment in
structing the delegates against
voting for Fred T. Dubois as a
delegate to the national conven-
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1908-05-29

ton at Denver, Colo. This rais-
ed new protest among the Dubois
supporters and finally the meet
ing adjourned for supper with
the question still unsettled.
When the convention met
again at 7:30 o'clock George M.
Robertson, of this place, intro
duced an amendment providing
for the delegates being sent to
Twin Falls uninstructed, and for
the amendment to take the place
of all other amendments offered.
This carried and settled the
fight.
In the selection of the dele
gates the Dubois sympathizers
held trifle the most
strengh and scored a small
victory in a choise of delegates,
although the entire west side of
the prairie voted against them.
Following are the delegates
chosen:
w. w. Brown, A. F. Parker,
E. S. Hancock, E. M. Watson,
Frank E. Wyatt, M. L. Butler,
]. 0. Rhoades, E. M. Griffith,
Barney Stubbers, w. S. M.
Williams, W. L. Brown, L. Vine
yard, j. A. Powell, John Maugg,
W. H. Zumwalt, L. A. Wisener,
J. B. Krieger, A. L. Creelman.

Big Bridge Far From Complete.

We took another peep at the
big railroad bridge at Lawyers
canyon while enroute to Vollmer
to the ball game a week ago last
Sunday and it really makes US
smile when we hear people talk
about the road being completed
across the prairie by early Sep
tember. At the time we visited
the bridge last the first full
length bent was being put in
place in the bottom of the can
yon. Just a month before that
we visited the bridge the first
time and in the four weeks be-
tween the two trips the bridge
crew had been able to put up
only four bents and put on a
girder on top of them. Two
weeks ago they had the first big
bent almost in place and there
were three more such bents-all
of equal length-to be put in

Eckert Wins Eight Points.

Goffe Eckert, LeWiston's lone
representative in the big athletic
meet at Seattle last Friday, won
the 12O-yard hurdles and was
second in the 22O hurdles. In
the latter he was beaten by
Price of Tacoma in the fast time
of 27 1-5. The high hurdles
were won in II 2-5.
The Spokane team of four men
won only 13 points, while Eckert
captured 8 by himself.
The meet was won by a Seat
tie team which took % points.
Goffe Eckert is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. L. Eckert of this
place and has gained quite a
reputation in school athletics,
especially in hurdle racing.

place in the bottom of the can
yon. This work will take at
least two weeks and by that
time but very little more than
half of the bridge will have been
completed.
At this rate it is easily seen
that the bridge cannot possibly
be completed until we'll into Sep
tember- and then there still re-
mains the work of laying the
track across the prairie.
We believe we can safely say
that if the road is completed in
time to haul the crop from Camas
Prairie late this fall it will be do
ing exceedingly well.

Lose One and Win One.

Two ball games were played at
the local ball park late last week,
one on Saturday between the
local and Nezperce teams, and
another on Sunday between the
local and Vollmer teams.
In the first game neither team
show ed much speed and at the
close of the seventh inning Nez-
perez was given the game by a
score of A to 2. The local team
was handicapped by having to
use several young players and
by having no regular pitcher,
Fred Lange's arm not having re-
covered from the effects of the
game pitched at Vollmer the
week before.
In the game with Vollmer
Sunday Larson, a young Nez-
perce player. pitched for the
local team and, with almost per-
feet support, easily won the
game from the visitors. The
Vollmer players were pretty well
demoralized as a result of their
trip and did not play near the
ball put up by them the week
before.
At the end of the game the
local team had piled up 8 runs tc
the visitors 8, this winning the
second game played with that
team this season.
The home team will go to Nez.
perce to play tomorrow, wher
the boys expect to make up fol
their defeat here last Saturday

Cottonwood will celebrate the
Glorious Fourth again this year.
This fact was fully decided
Monday evening when a number
of the business men met to deter
mine whether or not a celebra-
tion should be held. All present
were strongly in favor of cele-
brating and a committee con-
sisting of S. Goldstone, A. j.
Payne and ]. G. Yandell was
appointed to solicit funds to de-
fray the expenses of the cele-
bration. This committee met
with excellent success and on
Wednesday evening reported
a good sum subscribed for the
purpose.
1t was decided to celebrate for
two days, July 3rd and 4th, and
preparations are now under way
to make the celebration one of
the biggest and best ever held in
Idaho county. All kinds of
sports and races will be arranged
for, couple ball games will
be provided for the two days
and dances will be held both

Market Day Was Big Success.

Cottonwood's first Market Day,
held last Saturday, was a rip,
roaring success in every sense OF
the word. People from all Sec
tions of the surrounding country
commenced coming into town
early in the morning and by
noon the town was full of people.
The sale of property commenced
shortly after noon and bidding
was quite spirited. Fully 81, 900
worth of horses were sold, be-
sides considerable other proper
ty.
Owing to the fact that a
Market Day is a new experiment
here many people did not bring
in anything to sell, preferring to
see how matters went and to try
it for themselves later if it prov
ed satisfactory. That things
came up to their expectations is
beyond question and we believe
future Market Days here will
prove very profitable to all who
patronize them.
That the business men are
satisfied with the results obtain
ed is certain as several here stat
ed that their receipts that day
were better than for many
months past.
1t is quite probable another
Market Day sale will be helC
here some time next month, per
haps on June Goth, and the sales
will no doubt be continued eacf
month until late in the fall.

made for the double wedding.
Miss Mary was to become the bride
of Elmer Reed. while Miss Laura was

The mother. although dangerously

glad anticipation. When her ailment
took turn for the worse and she
knew that death was near. she called
her daughters and their prospective
husbands to her bedside and said:
Now, children. If anything happens
to me. don't postpone the wedding
Within few hours she was dead.
