The citizens of Vollmer held a
meeting late last week and de-
cided to hold a two day celebra-
tion at that place on July End
and 3rd.
The Ilo flour mill has been pur-
chased by E. A. Nickel, of the
Big Bend country, Washington,
who is overhauling the mill and

Judge Stewart S. Denning died
at his home in Moscow last Fri
day from cancer of the stomach,
aged SO years. Judge Denning
was one of the best known and
most brilliant lawyers in the
state and had resided in Idaho
for the past twenty years. He
was staunch democrat and was
candidate for supreme judge of
the state in 1905. He leaves a
wife and three children to mourn
his loss.
A live bear shipped from the
Bollinger hotel at Lewiston to
Portland escaped from its cage
in the express car on the Riparia
line one night late last week and
proceeded to make things lively
for the express agent. The agent
finally made his escape after un-
dergoing several effectionate
hugs and parting with some of
his clothing. The bear then eat
up a lot of cherries and lettuce
and then amused himself by
tearing up packages of laundry
until the train reached Riparia
when his bearship was "coaxed"
into a box car and locked up un-
til stronger cage could be pro-
cured.

SCHOOL LANDS
WENT HIGH
State Land Sale Held Saturday at
GrangeviIIe was the Best Ever
Held in Idaho COunty--Farmers
Bought Heavily.

The state school land sale held
last Saturday at Grangeville drew
q large crowd Of prospective pur-
chasers and is considered to have
been one of the most successful
sales of the kind ever held in
this county.
With one exception, the land
bringing the best prices at the
sale was the school section south
west of Greencreek. A. 0. Mar
tin purchased 160 acres of this
land for $29 per acre. The tract
is mostly good farm land and
Mr.. Martin has been farming it
under lease for several years.
The 16O acres farmed by Frank
Patterson was sold to V. Penne-
card for $33 per acre, and we un-
derstand Mr.. Pennecard has
since sold the land to Clemens
Wassmuth for $3.50 more than it
cost him.
Riley Rice purchased 100 acres
of pasture land for $22 per acre.
The best land Of this tract, an
8O-acre piece, was purchased by
Herman Gehring for $31 per
acre and Mr.. Gehring informed
us yesterday that $50 per acre
would not buy it now. The land
joins Mr.. Gehring's farm and
has a fine spring on it which
makes it of exceptional value to
him. This purchase gives him
800 acres in a body, half of it
being school land.
One tract of land near Winona
sold for $40 per acre. Henry
Sprute, of this place, paid $97
per acre for one tract and Frank
Rad bought 40 acres west of
town for SIG per acre. Most of
the other land sold went for
about the appraised values.

Latah county is the first of
Idaho counties to go dry, the
commissioners refusing to grant
an extension of license to any of
the saloons operating in that
county. The city council of Mos
COW, at its meeting Monday night
passed an ordinance appropriat-
ing $500 to be used exclusively in
securing evidence of violotions of
the prohibition ordinance. This
may be taken as evidence that
the violations are fragrant and de-
mand special policing of the city.
This is found true in the state of
Maine, where prohibition has
been in force for a period of fifty
years. It is one of the incidents
of the enforcement of the law
that does not disappear with ex-
perience and strict enforcement.
1t is easy to enact local option,
but to enforce it is another mat
ter. But whether it is better to
enact the law and fight for its
enforcement or to seek some 9TH
er way to combat the growth of
the liquor traffic is the question
for civilization to settle. The

Cottonwood has one manufact-
uring industry of which it can
we'll be proud-and that is its
flour mill. Few mills in our
state can turn out products in
the flour line to equal the pro-
duct of the local mill and we be-
lieve there are none that can
excel it. Cooks all over the
country find Cottonwood -four to
be equally as good as the best
product of the Lewiston mills,
which is saying not a little for
our local millers.

Ours A Productive Country.

Henry Bruegeman, residing
west of town, reports something
rather exceptional in the live
stock line as having occurred at
his farm. About two years ago
one of his cows gave birth to
twin heifer calves, both of good
size and strength. Last week
the same COW gave birth to an
other pair of twins, and one of
the first twins has already given
birth to a calf and the other win
soon do likewise. The mother
of the twins is a fine mixer and
gives nearly ten gallons of milk
a day. If any of our farmers
can beat this instance of product
iveness in the cattle line we
would like to hear from them.
