IN FAVOR OF CHANGE
Two Citizens Associations
Adopt Resolutions.
OPPOSE THE 4TH OF MARCH
Want Inauguration Late in April or
Early in May.
SUGGEST SERIES OF PARADES
Proposition That Induction Of &resi-
dent Into Office Be Made Great
Outdoor Carnival.
SUGGEST SERIES OF PARADEs

Acting independently. but with unity
of purpose clearly indicative of the sem
timent of the public. two citizens associa-
tions last evening adopted resolutions fas
voring a change in the Inauguration date.
They are the Citizens Northwest Suhur-
ban Association and the Park View Citi-
zens' Association,
The former organization. meeting in
Masonic Hall Tenleytown. approved .
suggestion presented by G. r. Payne. the
secretary. 1t fixes no specific date, but
favors the holding OF the inaugural cere-
monies the latter part of April or early in
May. The principal feature Of the reso-
luton adopted is provision for series
of parades. covering several days. instead
tons on one day.
Opposes 4th Of March.
Speaking in support of the resolution,
C. c. Lancaster. president of the asso-
citation. said there was little need to re-
mind his hearers Of the almost fatal dis
advantages of holding the Inauguration
March 4. Memories Of the late-lamented
March 4. when pneumonia worked bl1the-
ly and merrily; when those who were not
fortunate enough to have provided them
shivered and shook in the stands or on
the sidewalks along the line of march.
when many of the organizations dropped
out of the parade on account of the cold
and the snow and all the visitors left
Washington thoroughly disguised, were
too fresh and too painful. he said. to re-
quire more than casual mention.
If, Mr.. Lancaster continued, the mau-
guration should be held in April or May.
when the weather is balmy and the flow
ers are in bloom. it could be made a
great outdoor carnival. such as the
Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans.
Series Of Parades.
Military. political. fraternal and his
toric parades could be held OF different
days and the festivities could be strung
out over week without fear that en-
thusiasm would die.
A similar resolution was offered by
James L. Wilpaeth and unanimously
adopted by the Park View Citizens AS
ISOLATION at its meeting in Whitney Ave-
nue. Memorial Christian Church. 1t IN
dorses the course of the District Com
missioners In urging on Congress the ne
cessity of passing law changing the
date of the inaugural ion and pledged the
support of members of the association

Raised "Some Spuds."

The state of Idaho has been doing
herself proud the year in producing
mammoth crops of potatoes and re.
ports have been coming in from all
sections of the state regarding the fine
potatoes raised there Some of these
reports have been pretty big but we
doubt if any section has any edge over
old Camas Prairie, either in total
yield or the size of potatoes produced.
The largest yield so far reported here
comes from the Jacob Hecker farm
northeast of Cottonwood. Mr.. Heck
er has not dug all of his potatoes yet
but has already harvested 800 sacks
from the patch, which will easily give
him yield Of 200 bushels per acre.
Among his potatoes he has many that
will weigh six pound or over, while
there are sack after sack of them that
will average from three to five pounds
each. Other reports speak of single
potatoes weighing three and four
pounds or over but when it comes to
raising 6-pound spuds and lots of them
Mr.. Hecker is so far in the lead that
Others cannot get in hailing distance
of him. Great is Idaho-and excep'
tionally great is Camas Prairie

Farmers to Have Big Time

The Farmers Union had a bio
meeting in Grangeville last SATURDAY.
at which time January 2G to 80 was
the date decided upon for the meeting
OF all the unions in the county and the
farmers institute The heads of the
various departments of the experiment
tai station OF state agricultural college
will be here and talk and lecture on
farming, road building and other like
industries which are Of interest to the
farmers.
Every effort will be make bv the
citizens of Grangeville to take care of
the visitors and see that they have a
good time as we'll as profitable one.
As there are great many retired
ranchers who live in the countyseat
and have the welfare of the town and
county at heart, they no doubt will
take charge Of and contribute literally
to the fund to be used in entertaining
our visitors.
The commercial club will do it's part
but seems to us that committee COM
posed of retired farmers could raise
more money for such purpose from
among the citizens of the town than
could a committee from the club.

Grade Up Sheep

While down at Boise a few weeks
ago Tom Bales purchased 100 Ram
bouillet ewes and two of the finest
bucks in the state of Mr.. Pease. All
Of the animals are from imported sires
and the finest bunch Of breeding sheep
ever brought to Camas Prairie. They
were on exhibit at Spokane, Seattle
and the Inter-Mountain Fair at Boise
and everywhere shown attracted the
greatest interest and attention of the
sheep men. The shipment arrived
this week and has been taken to the
Bales-Jones ranch where they will be
used to improve the herd. 1t is Mr..
Bales object to give the sheepmen of
Idaho county better quality of sires
and thus grade up their animals, The
fine Lincoln buch owned by that firm
was disposed of to d. H. kube Of
Denver who desires to grade up his
sheep.

The Prairie Called Eden

The returning delegates from the
Grangeville l. Q. o. F., grand lodge
seem to never tire of talking of the
beauties and glories of Grangeville
and surrounding country. We are
convinced that the people of Grange
vile doped the entire lodge. If they
used some mighty strong medicine be-
cause over half Of the delegates are
still under its influence and show no
indications Of agoin getting their bear
ing. Why, the Caldwell delegates
still talk Of grain and fruits, as though
they had just stepped out of Eden.
They tell Of grapes IS big as walnuts
and never bat an eye, They think
of grains by the ship load. They look
on one who talks of car loads of wheat
with pitying contempt. Down here
we thind we can grow some fruit, but
up there, fruit reaches perfection.-

NEW LIGHT CO.
Electricity or Gas Cempanv
Being Formed
HAVE $4,000 PLEDGED
Plan to Furnish Light and Heat
At A Great Saving

Local parties are forming stock
company with the object of building
either gas plant, which will supply
light and heat to the city, or another
electric plant. There is plenty of
water power convenient to Grangeville
and the cost of putting in an electric
plant would not be a great deal. If a
gas plant should be built there is little
doubt but that the local consumption
for lighting and heating purposes
would make it paying Investment
from the start.
We understand the promoters will
ask the city council for permission to
use the streets and alleys for erecting
poles and stringing wires and it is said
all members of the council look upon
it with favor.
1t is stated $4,000 has been
pledged todate and the promoters say
there will be no trouble to raise the
remainder.

Will Develop Asbestos

I'VE expect to take out couple of
cars OF asbestos from our property in
the kamiah country, which will be
shipped to our plant at Spokane, :
said Chas. Hofsteter, who is the prime
mover in the company formed to ex-
plot the asbestos field of that district.
"The industry is still in its infancy
and we do not know at this time Just
how large our operations will be, but
the company is investigating the con-
ditions and when the markets for the
material have been fully opened to us
we believe we can make the mining of
asbestos one Of the chief industries of
the Clearwater country"
Mr.. Hofstetter has just returned
from Spokane where arrangements
were completed for the construction Of
manufacturing plant at that point
and the building will be ready during
the next month for the reception Of
the machinery.
