branching out into a new field.

600 AUTOS FOR SPOKANE
DISTRICT, SEASON OF 1910

r Spokane auto dealers expect to
cell over 600 cars in this city and
vicinity during the season of 1910,
which means that the cars in use
win be almost doubled.
This city has been far behind in
the use of autos, but with big de-
mand for cars in 1910, and with
greater interest shown in motoring
each year, local dealers are very
optimistic about the future.
Automobile row is extremely
quiet these days, each dealer con-
centrating his energies on securing
enough 1910 cars for the spring
and summer trade. Last year it
was almost impossible to secure
cars for this district, but this sea-

'GO WAY JOHNSON
AND QUIT F00L|N'
BY Tin Wriuht,

Jack Johnson says he is as fast
as Jim Corbett and can hit harder.
Therefore, argues Jack, he can beat
Jeffries, who went 20 rounds with
Corbett upon the occasion of their
first fight, before he landed the
punch that put Gentleman Jim"

If the heavyweight champion is ac-
tually basing his hope of victory
upon this foundation his song after
the battle will be something like
Woe is me-"
The Jeffries who hooked up with
the lightning conductor, Jim Cor,
bett, in 1900, is not the Jeffries OF
today. Not by a long shot. Then
he was practically a novice, despite
the fact that he was the heavy
weight champion. Against a speed

But since that day Jeffries has
improved as boxer and ring gen

sary to box to keep from being dis
figured by the clever men, so he
went about it and schooled himself
until today he is the fastest bic
man of them all. And this goes for
Johnson.

On Monday arrangements were
made by the contending forces in the
election for discussion of the issue
by two worthy representatives, c. T.
Mcdonald, of Grangeville, for the
"Drys" and S. P. Taylor, of of.Kooskia,
for the "Wets."

covered the true issue Shall the sale
or disposal of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage be prohibited in Idaho coun-

on arguing in favor of The temper

Mr.. Mcdonald, however, refused
to stay hitched to that proposition,
but went after the issue of the cam
paign in most vigorous and effective
manner. The debaters are old ac-
quaintances, and treated each other
with the greatest courtesy. Both sides
seemed to be well pleased with the
efforts of their advocate. The Armory
was filled by one of the largest crowds
seen there in many day.

GOOD REPORT
ON THE DEWEY
The Report 10 Now Current
That the Dewey Mine
Has Great Showing.

Word came to town this week that
the Dewey mine, nine miles east of
here on the Clearwater, is showing
every indication of becoming a world
beater. 1t is claimed that they have
clearly defined vein of ore fourteen
feet in width that is assaying from S44
to 81, 900 per ton. This, of course,
sounds something like fairy tale, but
it has been known for some time that
the Dewey was startling its operators
by the richness and quantity of the
ore being brought to light, and it was
also claimed that the stock was being
quietly picked up by the knowing ones.
The citizens of Grangeville are
deeply interested in the success of the
Dewey from business standpoint as
well as the good will they owe to the
men who are operating it, Besides
there are a number of Grangeville
men who have mining property near
the Dewey.

Overwhelmingly on the side of tenn
perance, the amount of the majority
was augmented by the work done,
and had the farmers not been in the
midst of the largest harvest ever rec

been still greater.
The opportunity is now before the
temperance people OF Idaho county
to demonstrate that the claims set
forth by them are not visionary, but
real, tangible and business-like. The
campaign is now over and it is to be
hoped that all good citizens will assist
rather than obstruct in the test of the
new law and the new conditions
which will arise from it.
The number of precincts heard
from at time of going to press is "a,

which are small, but will probably

precincts so far are:

Sheriff, Deputies and Police Get
Busy in Grangeville.
PLAIN CLOTHES MEN ACT
Three Saloon Men Plead Guilty
to Sunday Selling.

Last Friday night County Attorney
Gilmore and Justice Chadwick got
out warrants for the arrest of the
great bunch of tin-horn gamblers
which has been accumulating in
Grangeville for number of weeks,
and Sheriff Byron and Deputy Billy
Brown with Chief of Police Ingram
and Policeman Mason got busy.
Word had gotten out, however, that
there were detectives in town, and
the gamblers had begun quietly Slip
ping out of town early Friday MORN
ing, and all but FIVE were harvested in
that night
The officers, however, scattered to
the surrounding towns of Sites, Cot
tonwood and Lewiston and swiped in
four more. Some of the others who
bolted are probably still going, and a
number of warrants have not yet been
served.
Part of the bunch gave bond and
the rest were held in Jail to await
trial on Tuesday of this week. The
two first tried were convicted by the
jury, and Justice Chadwick gave
them fine of $500 and costs. which
amounted to S17. SO, totaling S217. SO
each. Seven of the number plead
guilty and were assessed $500 and
costs each. There are several cases
against each of the parties and these
will be held in obeyance on condition
that they leave the county Immediately
and never return; otherwise they will
be arrested and prosecuted as soon as
they step their foot within the county
limits.
These cases were worked up by
two detectives, J. A. P. Young and
II. S. Foster, employed by the Off
GERS of the law to accumulate evidence,
and they did their work we'll. There
would have been more of it, but for
the fact that one of the tin-horns rec
ognized Detective Young as the man
who had nabbed him a couple of years
ago at Harrington, Wash, for ! the
same offense. 1t is claimed that this
is the beginning of the end of tin
horning and robbing in Grangeville
and Idaho county, and from the re-
suits of the election, the verdict of
the people is that it must be wiped out.
Fined for Sunday Selling.
Three saloon men were caught in
