AS Result of Friendly Contest
LADIES ORGANIZE AUXILIARY AS SOCIAL FEATURE
Held Meeting Commercial Club Rooms
Auxiliary o

After campaign covering two
weeks the Grangeville Local of the
Farmers Union completed its labors
last Saturday and as result now has
over 800 members, 151 of whom were
secured through the active canvass of
the two contesting teams, one headed
by I. N. Wisdom and the other by
Rube Overman. 1t is doubtful since
the campaign has closed if there is a
tiller of the soil in the vicinity of this
city who has not been asked to join
and most of whom are now members,
having rode the goat Saturday. The
country was combed with finetooth
comb and even editors were allowed
to enter the portals.
The ladies, not to be outdone and
enthusiastic with the spirit, have also
organized ladies auxiliary of many
members now formed and active
Several weeks ago it was decided to
hustle for new members and with this
object in view the members were divi-
ded into two side, 7. N. Wisdom being
the captain Of one side and Rube Ov-
erman having command Of the men of
the other. Two weeks were to be
given to the campaign and the losers
were to treat all members Of the union
to an oyster supper.
No time was lost and no rural home
too remote for the contestants to en-
ter and Saturday showed room full
Of long farmers, short farmers, bearded
farmers, beardless farmers, farmers
from many acres and farmers from
city lots awaiting the initiation.
On account of the limited room in
the Commercial Club building all
sessions were held in the large |. O. O.
F. hall and the entire morning session
was taken up by balloting upon the
candidates.
AT one o'clock in the afternoon, the
goat having received his full share o.
alfalfa, the initiation was commenced
and the victims lead on. 1t was past
the hour of four before all had become
members and at that time the results
of the contests have been learned by
the new members, Wisdom's side hav.
ing 100 new members to its credit ano
Overman's 81, an adjournment wa'
had and all repaired to the Imperia
where the "oyster supper, which
proved to be an elaborate dinner, was
served to the farmers and theil
friends. During the evening music
was furnished by the celebrated Gal
braith orchestra and as over $50 were
served it was not until after seven tha
the meeting re-convened.

Play Ball

The fine spring weather of the past
few days has brought the ball fans from
hiding and "ball talk is in the air.
Small boys burdened with large pads,
other struggling youngsters with oak
bats, drag lazily to and from school
and the big fellows have changed the
topic of conversation of the barber
shop from the current social gossip to
the outlook for baseball the coming
season. Captain Ingram the undaunt-
ed is again first in the field and is ex-
ercising his colts daily these sunny
days. Ingram's team will be modest
this year, willing to be known as the
Second team" and will be managed
by Ed Abrahamson, looks like Ed
will have plenty to do.
The first game will be played Sun
day, providing the clouds do not leak.
The opposing team will be recruited
from the high school and if Captain
Ingram does not cut out the picture
shows it looks as though he will be in
poor form when he meets his worthy
antagonists next Sunday. It's free
and at the ball park. Get your score
card and come out.

The Lecture

The lecture given Thursday night
at the l. o. o. F. by Prot. Herring on
Christian Science was we'll attended
and proved very interesting.
Prof. Herring is member Of the
National Board Of Lectureship Of the
Christian Science church and close
student Of that religion. His lecture
was very fair and conservative and
free from any abuse and remarks that
might have been Objectionable to those
whose religious views do not CORES
pond with the Christian Church.

Dumacqua Plains, who was adjudged
insane at an examination held in this
city a fortnight ago and later taken to

Big Land Deal

One of the largest deals on Salmon
River was closed Monday in White
bird when Gus J. Wright, the former
merchant, bought the cattle and ranch
es belonging to Lee Smith, for approx
imately $4,000. The original Smith
ranch is on the state road to Grange
vile, only mile from Whitebird, and
is one Of the most valuable places on
Salmon river, comprising over 100
acres of valuable bottom land, under
ditch and suitable for fruit or alfalfa.
Mr.. Wright takes possession this week
and will commence improvements at
once. Mr.. Smith expects to move to
his ranch at Mr.. Idaho.
The case of A. Sempert, who through
Attorney Gilmore went in court to
compel the school board to return the
unearned portion of the saloon license
money in the treasury of the district,
resulted in a ruling by the court in
favor of the school board. Just what
method Mr.. Sempert will take now to
recover the money is not known but
it looks to fair minded man as
though the county commissioners
should see to it that this money is re-
turned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cyrus Overman re-
turned last week from their winter
visit in the delightful cline of South
ern California. Cy looks a good ter
years younger and is as full Of bust
, ness as ever.

def TO Uncle Sans census
enumerators, and told them
that there would be no count

Iieved that the census men
