GRANGE
WINS MEET
Lack of Experience and Other
Causes Put Cottonwood Boys
in Second PIace---Do Better
Next Year.

The first interscholastic track
meet ever held in Idaho county
was pulled off here last Friday
afternoon between the Grange
Vile and Cottonwood high school
teams and resulted in a victory
for the former, the score stand
ing 63 to 48.
While Grangeville won the
meet, it had its work cut out
from start to finish and but for
unforeseen difficulties the score
would have been materially
closer than it was. Truitt, who
was expected to figure strong in
the mile run and broad jump,
missed his train while away on a
visit and did not get home in
time to compete. Craig, who
got off with a nice lead in the.
10 yard dash, looked back at the
other runners, lost a couple of
strides and was beaten by Par
sons by a couple of feet when he
should have captured the race
with ease. In the high jump
Parsons, of Grangeville, disquali-
fed by knocking the bar down
three times but was allowed a
fourth trial by Prof. Addison
and cleared the bar. At the
next raise he succeeded in win
ming first place. In the discus
throw the Cottonwood boys fell
down badly because Of lack Of
practice and Grangeville won on
a throw of 78 feet and II inches.
In practice Housh has often
thrown better than 80 feet but
none of the boys could get the
thing to sail Friday.
Considering that the local boys
have had practically no practice
and were laboring under other
disadvantages, the showing they
made was much better than had
been expected and it is safe to
say that when another meet is
held they will be able to show up
much stronger team.
Following is a list of the E.
vents, entries, winners and
record.

no more a question whether Mr.. EgaD

of malpractice, but a moral question.
He has been punished severely for
the alleged violation against ethics of
The bar, if violations they were, and
forgiveness should be considered. The
supreme court to maintain it's integri-
ty, acted c~onservatively and was JUS
titled in refusing to consider Mr..
Egan's petition for reinstatement
some time ago for the unde5erved at
tacks he had made on this body, but
he made himself a subject to the
painful task of humiliation by apollo
giving to that body and since that
body is a peoples tribunal, the
grant would fall in line with a pop
ular sentiment. The members of the
supreme court will no doubt listen to
the people and not to A. B. Kittredge,
who is the leader of the six, includ-
ing himself, who oppose Mr.. Egan.

Miss Blanche Renner, who has

BY closing their schools the past
year and sending the pupils to other
schools, Murphy district saved over
$500. Niles district saved about $3.50,
and Fairview district saved about
$500; and what is even more import
ant, almost all of the pupils of these
districts had better instruction and
longer terms than had school been
held in their own districts. When
such an arrangement as this can be
made it is wise economy.
