Cross South Fork Bridge.

Chief Forester Mcpherson was in
the city this week from the South
Fork of the Clearwater. He reported
that the flooring has been laid on the
wagon bridge across the river at the
Big Cove crossing and horses can
now cross dry shod. The Forest
Reserve force and the citizens who
built this bridge deserve the thanks of
the entire community for this long
needed structure which makes travel
possible to the upper South Fork
country at any time in the year. The
work on the trail across the river is
progressing rapidly.

Those who attended the Cantata
given at the Armory on the evening
of April 9th were more than COM
pensated for Drawing the Indictment
weather, as it was Of the the most sue
cessful performances ever given in this
city.
To Mrs. A. M. Baker is due the
credit for the exceptional pleasure of
seeing so many small children so per-
fectly well drilled in the work of ar
tistic dances, songs and acting.
The costumes were each of appro-
pirate design and individually every
one OF the characters, were superb in
their Interpretation of the part, as a
whole the combined effects, were the
brightest and most charming that
could be produced under the circum-
stances of limited time for the drill
ling and educating of the many children
who took part in the scenes.
The songs, tableau scenes and
specialties, were well selected, and
gave full proof of the talent which is
at the command of the city in home
talent work, when it has the good
fortune to obtain for its direction, such
an indefatigable and tireless worker
and organizer as Mrs. Baker.
AS the performance was given for
the benefit of the church, it is GER
tainly commendable to note the large
attendance, and general good feeling
evidenced in the contributing of as
sistance by members of all the Other
churches, and the patronage it re.
ceived.
The only criticism we have heard,
is in regard to the management of the
Armory, which seems to have beer
lacking in some of the essential points
which are necessary to the success o.
any entertainment, and gathering o
people in public places. The arrange.

WHITE BIRD CELEBRATION.
Lodge Observed Anniversary With Ex-
ercises and Sports.

Monday, April 20, was a red letter
day for our neighboring village of
White Bird. White Bird Lodge No.
Il, |. o. o. F., had made elaborate
preparations for their observance of
the Goth anniversary of the institution
of Odd Fellowship in America, and
Mother Nature seemed to be in league
with the promoters of the occasion,
as an ideal day of pleasant weather
was furnished.
The anniversary exercises were
held in the lower hall of the l. 0. 0.
F. building at two O clock, p. m, a
large representation of the member
ship of both subordinate and Rebekah
Lodges being present. The opening
ode of the Rebekah Degree was sung,
prayer offered by Rev. Putnam of the
M. E. church, and the address de-
livered by Past Grand L. c. Chad
wick of Mt. Idaho Lodge No. Z.
The speaker dwelt largely upon the
practical application of the principles
of the order, and the fact that in
every progressive movement for re-
forms OF any kind, Odd Fellows
should be first and foremost After
the address the closing ode of the
Subordinate Lodge was sung and the
crowd wendell its way to the bal
ground.
Two games of ball were played
the first between the second nine
from Grangeville and White Bird, in
which the White Bird nine was vic
torious by score of 7 to 4. While
this game was being played another
team was made up of players from
Freedom, Grangeville and COTTONWOOD
to play the winners, and in a sever
inning game White Bird defeated thi,
aggregation g to 4.
In the evening dance was held a
the |. o. o. F. hall, which wa
largely attended. The GrangevilI,
band furnished music during the af
ternoon, and for the dance in tn,
