kAMIAH
(From Progress)

w. j. Jordan, Lewiston's most pop
ular railway agent, was a Kamiah
visitor last Tuesday night, as Mr..
Jordan is high up in the railroad
circles, we wonder why he is watching
this point SO closely, there may be
something doing in railroad circles
yet.
The cut of lumber at the different
mills this winter promises to be great
er than IN former years. The Raw
son Lumber Company are making
every endeavor to get large lot Of
logs into their mill yard, and will soon
close their planning mill here at Kan
iah and take their force of men upon
the hill.
David Jewell, who lives across the
river near the Corbett ferry, came
very near losing his house and all its
effects by fire last Monday morning
but by the help of his neighbors sue
ceeded in getting the fire under con-
tori. 1t was narrow escape as the
roof is almost burned off. Mr.. Jewell
and wife are both aged people and the
loss of their household goods would
have been an irreparable loss,
John Schrader and T. F. Hender-
son were in town last Tuesday getting
a road petition signed up. They are
petitioning for road from Lawyers
canyon county road on direct line to
Kamiah besides giving a better road
to those that live on the hill next to
| Winona.
s. A. Meeker, who formerly lived
in this community, was in town shak-
ing hands with old friends. Mr..
Meeker has been luckey enough to
secure quarter section Of land twelve
miles from Payette, Idaho. The land
is a valuable piece, and has been
struggled all these many years, as he
is deserving Of good luck we are glad
to know this has fallen to his lot.
What may have led up to murder
came very near happening on last
Friday night at the Commercial hotel
soon after Mr.. Jordan had retired for
the night. He heard a communication
in one of the rooms and on investiga-
ton he found that drunken Indian
was giving his wife a beating. The
proprietor succeeded in getting the
woman away from the Infatuated In
dian and down the stairs where she
hid until her husband was out ofsight
and then crept back into another room.
The Indian hunted around quite a
long time swearing and threatening
what he would do in case he found the
woman, but not succeeding, he finally
left. II some person had not taken
the matter in hand the Indian would
surely have killed the woman.

KOOSKlA
From .Mountaineer)

Lee Curlee Of Grangeville and Mr..
and Mrs. Gus Lyons of Sites will
spend Christmas at the home Of j. d.
Hendren.
Miss Cleo Billups of Grangeville is
here visiting her sister, Mrs. George
Decker.
The Lon Davis home was scene of
excitement early Tuesday morning
when the floor of the second story was
discovered to be on fire. The blaze
was soon extinguished although con-
siderable damage was done.
1t looks good to see dozen or more
new houses-some completed and 9TH
ers nearing completion-in Kooskia.
A few years ago many were Of the
firm opinion that Kooskia had reached
its zenith and was about to take a
header down hill from the effects of
which it could never recover. Things
did look decidedly blue around here
for spell, but the only thing to do
was to keep up courage and stay with
it.
The first turn for the better was the
organization of the kooskia Milling
Il Power Co. The building Of the
big -four mill was starter-and a
good one. Our people took hold Of
this enterprise at time when the out
look was not very encouraging, but
but they went through with it and the
prime movers are entitled to credit.
1t is the best establishment Of the kind
in the entire state, and located as it is
there is no reason why it should not
in time be made paying investment
for stockholders and at the same time
prove Of great benefit to farmers and
others in the community. Of course,
like everything else, its success do
ponds entirely on the management.
With railroad building and other
industries sure to spring up here be-
fore long, there is no reason to doubt
that within the next few years Kooskia
will be among the lively ones on the
map. During the past summer bust
ness in all lines was good here-better
than for several years. Trade from
the surrounding country was heavier.
The trade from railroad men and for
est service employees was big item in
itself.
The forest service does great deal
for this locality. This is the trading
point, and also the home of many men
in the service. They spend their
money here, through investments and
other channels. Besides this the
forest service is always in line with an
appropriation for the improvement Of
roads in various parts of the county
Bnd were it not for such appropriations
the board of county commissioners
would have been compelled to abandon
many road improvements made during
the past few years. 1t is we'll to re
member these things, and give credit
when credit is due. This the Noun
taineer will always strive to do.

COTTONWOOD

Christmas has come and gone and
is now past number. The day was
fine and everybody seemed to enjoy it
in his or her way. The roads being
in good condition many farmers with
their families were in town enjoying
all things enjoyable, and as Burns
said when describing 1.-The Holy Fair,
"Some were full of Love divine, and
others full Of Brandy
Christmas eve several half drunken
toughs invaded the Chinese restaurant
and engaged in what appeared to be
free-for-all fight or general racket and
some on the outside who could not get
in were hooting and encouraging them.
The frightened Chinaman rushed to
the sidewalk and blew the whistle for
police but none appeared. After con-
siderable ups and downs they dispers-
ed without anyone being seriously
hurt.
The Christmas tree at the Odd Eel
lows hall was grand success and was
well attended by people of all denomi-
nations and of no denomination, and
all those present, young and old, en-
joyed themselves freely and with great
pleasure.
The roads are now in fine condition
and many farmers are busy hauling in
grain of all kinds 1t is truly wonder
full the amount of grain there is in the
country after the vast amount that
have been sold or stored. Many who
have grain in store are now arranging
to sell. The warehouses have almost
half million bushels in store.
DR.. Shinnick is having many calls
in both town and country and is kept
pretty busy all the time.
Christmas day was celebrated at the
! Catholic church in Cottonwood, by the
holding of three masses and other
ceremonies, all of which were largely
attended, that being special holiday
of obligation in the Catholic church.

A commercial catastrophe of more
than ordinary Importance is announc-
ed today with the closing Of the doors
Of the Grangeville Department Store
which has temporarily turned over its
entire stock to the United Salvage Co.
1t is to be regretted that such measures
were necessary, but through the over
buying of the firms New York repres-
entative the store is greatly livestock
ed and drastic means are necessary to
realize on the merchandise and liqui-
date outstanding debts. Mr.. Reed
Salyer, Western Manager Of the Unit
ed Salvage Co., who made speciality
Of handling Bankrupt and Sheriff
Sale stock, has been in the city for the
past ten days investigating matters
connected with the stores affairs and
will remain here to take full charge Of
the selling out Of the stock which is
one Of the best selected and largest in
this city.
Mr.. Kornfeld, the owner of the
store. is one Of the most popular of oul
merchants and universal sympathy is
expressed for him in his unfortunate
position, which compels an immediate
disposal of his interests.
ut is only because | realize that
this marks crisis in my career that
| have turned over my stock to the
Salvage Company, but | know full
well that more than ordinary means
are necessary to dispose of SO vast a
quantity Of goods in the limited time
at my command. m. Kornfeld.
The store will be closed until next
Wednesday when the sale will be open
to the public; until that time Mr..
Salyer with large force of helpers
will go through the stock marking
down every thing to prices that viii
insure instant selling, as ready cash
must be realized at the earliest pos

HOSE PURCHASED.

Mr.. Newbegin, representing q
supply company of Georgia, drop
ped in on Monterey last Fridayeye-
ming and, on Saturday, met the
town council at a called meeting.
The question of hose for fire pro-
lection was settled by the purchase
of 300 feet, the price paid being
81 90 per foot.
Before closing the deal, Mr.. j. S.
Gibson, representing the Monterey,
Water, Light & Plumbing Co., was
called in and an agreement, the
conditions of which we are not able
to give at this time, was enteredln-
to and signed, 1t is supposed that
all important points were covered,
and everything looking to mutual
satisfaction was Incorporated in the
agreement.
1t is believed that the 800 feet of
hose will be sufficient to reach all
buildings when the water company
shall have extended their lines and
placed fire-hydrants as they have
proposed, AMI it is to be hoped
that this will be done soon, in or
der that all taxpayers may enjoy
equal protection and thus avoid
dissatisfaction.
The town is to be congratulated
in that another important step has
been taken along this most impor-
tant line. The organization of a
volunteer fire company is next in
order, and, with some OF our young
men well-drilled and a department
properly equipped, citizens need no
longer have their peace of mind Sc
riously disturbed by the fear of a
fre-alarm, which, in defenceless
town, is the most awful and blood
curdling of all alarms.

Mr.. HOOK, DRIVER, SERIOUSLY HURT

TEAM TAKES FRIGHT AT STRANDED
AUTO, ovERTURNS MAIL-wAGoN
AND MAKES MAD RUN ACROSS
BULLPAsTURE MOUNTAIN.
An ugly wreck and runaway oc-
Cured on Shaw's Ridge Wednes-
day afternoon in which the west
bound mail-hack was demolished
and its dryer, Mr.. Veach Hook,
badly injured. The particulars OF
the accident, as given by Mr.. Rich
Hicklin, who came on to Monterey
in charge of the mail, were about
as follows:
An automobile had come out
from Harrisonburg on the days
previous and was stranded at Mr..
S. w. Wilson's. It's driver, MI.
Keister, put in all of Wednesday
morning making repairs and get
ting the machine in moving order
again. In the afternoon he ran
across the river and up the ridge
as far as the forks of the road.
Here the auto came to another
standstill and was at this point
when the hack came along. Mr..
Keister and a passenger took each
one a briddle-rein and led the
horses alongside the machine, MT
Hook remaining in the wagon. The
team, seeming to be under easy
control, and one of them being
known to have a bad record as q
runaway-pa particularly in the pres
ence of engines and the like-Mr
Hook suggested to the men to "let
them look at it" In an instant
one of the horses plunged, broke
the tongune and caused the hack
to turn turtle.
Mr.. Hook was dragged some dis
lance under the wreck before thu
team became detached, and sui
fered some severe cuts and bruises
He was placed in the auto ant
horses were gotten to pull it bacl
Ito Mr.. Wilson'S, where he remained
until arrangements could be mad
to get him over to Mr.. Deverick's
and his wounds dressed.
The horses made mad rul
across the river and up the Bull
pasture mountain, being caught q
John Botkin's on the McDowe
side, and none the worse for tn
escapade.
This is one of a very few serlou
accidents that have occurred IN tn
: history of this long, double dali
route, and it would seem that n
one was seriously at fault.
