ARTHUR |. VORYS.
Judge Taft's Friend, Who Is Managing
Ohio Campaign.


During the Roosevelt administration
the tennis cabinet" has been an inn
portant factor in affairs of state.
Should Judge William H. Taft occupy
the White House for the next four
years golf will doubtless become the
administration sport, as the Republic
an presidential nominee is devoted to
the game, and it suits his portly build
better than tennis, which necessitates
ones being all over the court at the
same time, difficult achievement for
a fat man. One of the prominent Re
publicans who agree with Judge Taft
as to the general superiority of golf as
a sport is Arthur l. Vorys. manager of
the campaign in Ohio. He can play a
good game of golf despite the fact that
his right hand is minus several fingers.
Mr.. Vorys' father. Isaiah Vorys, was
carpenter by trade and owned
a large woodworking establishment
Young Arthur worked at the bench.
and one day he had an experience with
the buzzsaw at the conclusion of which
1t was necessary to bandage up very
mutilated hand. A few days later his
father came upon him playing marbles
with his left hand, his right being still

The teachers of the school gave a

home of Mrs. Spedden in honor of
Mrs. Johnson who is to leave us this
week.
We have three new pupils this
week, Donald S. Neighbor and
Earl and Bessie Fink, the first named
being in the sixth the others in the
third and first grades respectively.
Twenty-six good people visited us
during the month, and that many
people are better acquainted with the
actual work of the school than before.
We invite and wish that others may
come.
Our average enrolment in the
grades is forty and two-thirds. The
enrolment in the high school is 61,
highest per cent of attendance is 81,
that of the 9TH grade. The 5th
grade is next with 95 per cent.

Celebration Will Not Be Held
Here Next Tuesday.
AFRAID OF WEATHER
Excursion Will Run, But Club
Won't Father 1t.

They re off Both the barbecue
celebration and the commercial club
excursion to Spokane which were to
have occurred as a means of express
ing our jolllhcation over the railroad s
completion.
The excursion will be run on De-
cember 9Th as planned, probably,
but it will not be under the auspices
of the local commercial club, neither
will stops be made at Lewiston and
Moscow as anticipated and the ex-
cursionistS will not be guests of the
Spokane chamber of commerce while
in the power city. Business men
regard the present season as time
too busy in holiday trading circles to 90
on such tri p. The uncertainty of the
weather and hestancy on the part
of some citizens to wholly favor the
idea are given as the chief reasons
for discarding the barbecue celebra-
ton which was to have been held
here next Tuesday. All citizens, in
measure, enthusiastically be-
lieve in celebration but the in
clement weather which is coming
this winter causes a dubious and in
definite feeling in regard to the event
being held at the present time to
prevail.
