Carpenters commenced work
this morning on a building for
John Hoene on his lot facing on
First street. The building will
be 48x80 feet in size and will be
used for a warehouse after Mr..
Hoene puts up his store building
next spring.
The speeches delivered here
last Saturday evening by Atty.
Miles Johnson and Campbell
Bushnell, of Lewiston, did not
draw as large a crowd as did the
speech of Mr.. Brady but the
speakers held their audience for
about two hours while they dis
cussed the political issues. Mr..
Johnson, especially, made a very
good talk and gave many reasons
why the republican party should
be returned to power this fall.
Chief Justice Ailshie, who was
present, was called on and made
a short address which was well
received.

Has Biggest Crop Yield Yet.

1t is now up to the farmers of
Camas Prairie to doff their hats
to Ralph Bruner, Of Cottonwood,
as the man who has succeeded in
producing the largest crop yield
of both barley and wheat on the
prairie this year.
Having read in the CHRONICLE
of previous good yields mention
ed, Mr.. Bruner called in Satur-
day to inform us about his crop
and incideutlly put a stop to
others claiming the banner yield
for the year. Mr.. Bruner COM
pleted threshing his crop last
week and, while he knew it
would produce heavy, he had no
idea it would yield anywhere
near as much as it did. From SO
acres of White Eaton winter
wheat he secured the enormous
yield of 594 bushels per acre and
from Is acres of white winter
barley he secured the heavy yield
of 81 bushels per acre. When it
is taken into consideration that
the average yield for barley on
the prairie this year was about
40 bushels per acre and that very
few fields Of wheat produced as
high as so bushels per acre, it
will be realized to some extent
what the above excellent yields
mean.
Mr.. Bruner had his land in
good condition and planted his
grain fairly early and pretty
thick, otherwise II got no better
care than fields which produced
only half Of what this one did.
From this it will be seen that a
careful and thorough tilling of
the soil is necessary in producing
good crops and the man who
does the best work in his fields
is the one who reaps the most
bountiful harvest.
LATER: Since the above was
put in type a yield Of 66 bushels
per acre has been reported from
a 20-acre piece Of ground near
Grangeville.

Will Soon Test Well.

The regular meeting of the
board of directors of the local
water company occurred Monday
night but owing to the absence
of several members the meeting
was adjourned until next Mon
day night, when all directors are
expected to be present.
The city well is being tested
this week and if it proves to
have a strong enough flow of
water action will probably be
taken Monday night toward plac-
ing orders for some of the pipe
and machinery so as to install
the system through the business
portion of the city yet this win
ter. Many of tht stockholders
of the company are in favor of
proceeding at once with the work
on the system and the result of
the test being made on the well
will determine to a great extent
just what action will be taken
toward placing orders for mate
rial. In case the we'll is found
to be not up to requirements the
drillers will go to work at once
and sink it deeper.

Two Mile Law Needs Amending.

To the CHRoNICLE:-I wish a,
little space in your paper to ex-
press my views regarding the
two mile limit law Of Idaho. l
believe in this law but think it
should be amended so as to allow
a homesteader who owns sheep
the same privilege around his
claim as his neighbor who raises
other stock. The government
claims to give all homesteaders
equal rights but the two mile
limit law of Idaho places one
man in shape to say to his neigh
Dor, keep your sheep on your
own land and don't pasture them
within two miles of my place"
even if you are no more than
two miles apart. If this law
was amended to allow the home
steader who owns sheep the
right to pasture half the range
between himself and his nearest
neighbor where the claims are
not over two miles apart it
would give. all homesteaders
equal privileges. AS the law
now stands it does not do so.

JESSUP CASE
WAS DISMISSED
Evidence introduced Tended to
Show Reed as Being the Ag-
gressor and His Evidence was
Impeached.

The Jessup assault case, which
came up last Monday before JUS
tice Wolbert, resulted in the dis
missal of both Jessup and his
brother-in-law, William Frick.
The case resulted over a quarrel
between Jessup and L. A. Reed
over some hogs a couple weeks
ago at which time Reed shot
Jessup through the ear and Jes-
sup gave Reed a severe beating.
Attys. Fogg and Stearns ap-
peared for the defense while
Atty. Griffith appeared for the
state and Atty Duffy for Reed.
Reed and his wife and two
daughters each testified that
Jessup struck Reed with the fiat
side of an axe which he was
holding and that Reed fired at
Jessup as he was falling.
AS no evidence was introduced
to show that Frick had commit
ted an assault upon Reed he
(Frick) was dismissed before
any testimony was offered by
the defense.
Both Jessup and Frick testified
that Reed fired his revolver be-
fore a blow was struck and that
Reed was not hit with the axe al
all. Evidence was then intro
duced to show that Reeds stand
ing in the community was very
poor and his evidence was inn
peached. The evidence of Frank
Patterson and H. ]. Barth, two
neighbors of Reed, provoked
considerable amusement in court
and their replies to the questions
asked them were not greatly
relished by the prosecution. H.
]. Barth expressed the general
feeling of the community toward
Reed when he said that Reed
seemed to always be in trouble
and that where there is SC
much smoke there is usually
some fire..
Reeds hearing for shooting
Jessup will be held at Grange.

FIRST TRAIN
FROM PRAIRIE
Big Crowd Left Cottonwood Tues
day Morning for Lewiston on
the "Camas Prairie Special"
to Visit the Fair.

The first real passenger train
to leave Cottonwood pulled out
from the depot site on south
Broadway at 6 o'clock Tuesday
morning, filed with passengers
from this city and vicinity bound
for Lewiston to visit the fair.
The huge engine with twelve
coaches attached made a pretty
sight to the citizens of this section
who have waited SO long to see
the cars running across Camas
Prairie. The train was properly
termed the "Camas Prairie Spe-
cial" and among its passengers
were many pioneer citizens of
Idaho county who took advan-
tage of this occasion to ride out
on the first train to leave the
prairie.
The track to the canyon sur
prised all by it's smoothness at
this stage of its completion and
the terrors Of crossing lone Of
the highest railroad bridges in
the world" at Lawyers canyon
did not seem to dampen the
ardor of any of the enthusiastic
bunch of excursionists.
Had it not been for the rainy
weather an enormous crowd
would have left the prairie on
this first train, but as it was
people got on at all the stations
until the train was comfortably
filled.
The trip down the Culdesac
hill, where the train wound a.
round for seven miles, crossing
numerous bridges and passing
through seven tunnels, was an
education in itself to all who
made the trip for the first time
and the scenery almost rivaled
that of Switzerland in it's wild
and rugged beauty.
The train made good time over
the new road and reached Lewis
ton at 1920 o'clock, where the
excursionists were welcomed. at
the depot by the representative
citizens of that city, while the
Lewiston band rendered fitting
music for the occasion.
Here all the visitors scattered
and proceeded to enjoy the fair
in a manner peculiar to their in
dividual tastes.
Owing to the rainy weather
nearly all of that day many did
not visit the fair grounds, but
the next day better weather
prevailed and the splendid ex.
hibits of fruit, grain, grasses,
vegetables and live stock were
viewed and enjoyed by all. In
spite of the wet weather the day
before the racing Wednesday
was excellent and afforded great
enjoyment to all lovers of gooC
horsef1esh.
The citizens of Lewiston did
their best to extend every court
esy to the visitors from the prai.
rie and by their actions a bono
of friendship between the two
sections was forged that will not
be torn asunder for a long time
to come.

CRANE ISSUES STATEMENT
Says Taft Is Satisfied With Hitch.
cocks Management.

Chicago, Sept. Ex-senator Crane
of Massachusetts made statement
which effectually disposed of the wide
ly published story that his visit to
western headquarters of the Repub-
lican national committee presages re-
organization and the subordination of
Chairman Hitchcock's authority to
that of other Republican leaders. In
order that there should be no misun-
Outstanding concerning his visit to
Chicago at this time Senator Crane
dictated the following:
II came here at the especial request
of Chairman Hitchcock, with whom
am, as member of the advisory COM
mittee, associated, and who wished to
consult with me regarding the cam
paign Mr.. Taft, whom recently met
at Cincinnati. expressed himself as be-
ing thoroughly satisfied with Chair
man Hitchcock's management of the
campaign"
To a representative of the Associat-
ed Press Crane characterized the ru.
NOR that Mr.. Taft is dissatisfied with
the management of the campaign as
being unworthy of notice. He said,
however, that In view of the various
stories printed he anticipated being
questioned by representatives of the
press and he had decided. therefore,
to issue brief formal statement.

TOWNS IN DhNGEn
Forest Fires Raging In Wis
COnsin and Michigan.
FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES
Residents of Some Localities
Driven Out and Others Are
Prepared to Leave.

Milwaukee, Sept 22.-Forest fires
are raging in Northern Wisconsin and
Upper Michigan which threaten to
wipe out several towns if rain does
not come to quench the flames. In
several places residents are reported
as having to flee for their lives and at
others trains are loaded with goods
and people ready TO fee TO larger cen
tiers if the flames reach the critical
stage.
Conflicting reports come from Fos-
ter City, lumber town across the
wisconsin line of Marinette county,
one report stating that six persons
lost their lives and that large num-
Der of dwellings, We're destroyed and
that the Morgan Lumber company's
plant is understood to have been
burned Mr. Morgan of Oshkosh,
however, when seen denied the report
and says he has authoritative informa-
ton that the town is all right.
The fires are in close proximity to
several towns in Marinette and Me-
nominee counties, Niagara, ingalls,
and Faithorn seeming to be in the
greatest danger. Lac la Belle, north
of Calumet, is surrounded except on
the water side by flames and at Bate
de Girls, also north of Calumet, the
people are fighting to save the light
house and other buildings. Fifield, a
few miles north of Ashland, is report
ed in danger of destruction and aid In
the lire of fire apparatus has been
sent from Minneapolis.
