Cases Are settled

The last Of the. first prosecution for
the violation of the local option law,
brought in this county was settled
Saturday when +. A. Tamblyn paid
fines and costs in the neighborhood of
5000 and the first two actions filed
against Mr.. Tamblyn were dismissed.
The fourth case was called for Satur-
day morning at ten and close to two
dozen witnesses had been summoned.
w hen court convened County Atty.
Gilmore asked for continuance until
two in the afternoon and the same was
granted. In the meantime settle
ment was effected out of court and
when court called the case in the
afternoon the action was dismissed the
court stating that a settlement had
been effected out of court.
1t is said the settlement will wipe
of the slate so far as all violations
Mr.. Tamblyn is charged with up te
and including the case which was te
be tried Saturday.
There has been quite feeling il
the town since the trouble has begun
but the settlement is one that shoulC
suit either side. If there is viola
tion and the County Attorney has th'
evidence with which to convict it il
his duty to bring action and see that I
punishment to fit the crime is deal
out. On the other hand no fai
minded man wants another citizel
prosecuted. The outcome of the suit
we believe will discourage any sue
talk and it is hoped the agitation O.
both sides will cease.

A very interesting game of baseball

with "Teddy"in Africa

Manager Edmundson OF the Lyric
always gets fine pictures and gives the
people firstclass show. From time
| to time something exceptionally fine
is included in the program. This
week for Friday and Saturday night
and Saturday matinee he will run a
| film entitled Roosevelt in Africa
that we believe is the best and most
Interesting picture film SO far ever
shown in Grangeville. This film was
made at great expense, the photo
grapher who accompanied the expires
ident in order to take the pictures and
the cameras and materials necessary
to make the same brought the cost OF
the picture up to such a figure that
only by all the licensed film makers in
America agreeing to bear their por-
tion of the expense was the venture
attempted.
Some idea of the cost of securing
such picture may be gained when it
is stated that in taking photographs
for motion pictures it is necessary to
keep the films packed in ice and when
1t is desired to take a series Of pictures
covering the events of a hunting trip
In the tropics by as strenuous a man
as Roosevelt, the cost was something
beyond ordinary reckoning. The pic
ture was put OH at Spokane this spring
and cost the company using it in that
city four hundred dollars.
The picture shows the wild animals
oi Africa in their native haunts,
Teddy in the act Of securing some OF
the fine specimens of the jungle beasts
many dangerous and exciting scenes
aswell as the camp life of the hunting
party. Truly this is cracker jack
ana worth twice your money. Re
member, the last and perhaps only time
%. % see this great picture is Friday and
saturday night and Saturday after
noon. At the Lyric, of course.

Tacoma Firm to Build Sewer
System
DRIVE A HARD BARGAIN
Commissioners Make Good
Deal for City

Bids on the construction of the
sewer were opened yesterday and the
contract was awarded to kibler Il
Moore of Tacoma for $4,000. This
rirm has had plenty Of experience in
such work and comes highly recon-
mended. The work will begin just as
soon as material and men can be &C.
cured and perhaps within two weeks a
large force Of men will be put to work.
The contract is for the construction of
the entire system as we'll as the septic
tanks. Close to ten miles of sewer
will be necessary for the proper sewer
age Of the city, and the work will
probably be completed late in Septem-
Der.
There were five bidders on the work
and quite a difference on the prices as
the following figures evidence:
kibler 4 Moore, $4,000
j. c. Broad, Spokane, 47,965
Smith Il Nickerson, Lewiston, 49,
317.95
| j. f. Costello, Spokane, $1,000
John Fife, Spokane, $4,000
| We understand that the contract
price is considerable less than the es-
innate. a fact very uncommon in mum
icipal affairs. Engineer Hill who
prepared the 1ata from which the
bids were made, had made thorough
estimate of the material and work
, necessary so that a close bid might
be made.
1t looks as though the city has
driven hard bargain and no mistake
was made in selecting the committee
of business men who have charge Of
!, the construction.
: The next work necessary is the pre-
6 pairing Of the assessment roll and max
ing the levy that each piece of pro
perty i'll the Improvement district viii
be taxed for the work. This is NJ
. small job and will require severa
= weeks of time. However this will moi
prevent work on the construction Of
! the system by the contractors.

Many Broad Acres Of Land Are
Sold
HOME RANCH WITHDRAWN
Another Big Farm Sale on
July 25

The big Bales-J ones sale, which has
been one Of the events looked forward
to by the ranchers Of the Northwest,
was held Monday and Tuesday of this
week and an attendance in the neigh
borhood Of 1900 people was on the
ground. The sale was held on
the home ranch, nine miles from
Grangeville and Auct. Ralph, assisted
by an outside man conducted the
auction.
The livestock and the machinery
brought good prices but the land did
not reach the figure expected, the
present low price Of wheat no doubt
being the cause. 1t is safe to say that
had the land been placed on the mar
ket at the time when wheat was sell
ing around one dollar, the price real
lied would have been ten dollars an
acre above the money paid for the
land.
All the land, with the exception Of
the home ranch, well improved
place of !, 1,120 acres was sold. The
home ranch was taken out of the sale
and if the same is not sold at private
sale before the close of the week il
will be taken off the market.
| The 240 acres of the Wind Mill
ranch, upon which we're the improve
ments, was sold to H. f. Sweet Of
this city for $57 an acre and was al
exceedingly good buy.
j John Wilson bought another 24C
acres of the same ranch for $50 al
acre.
Another 12O acres was sold to San
Jones for $40.50 and H. f. Swee
bought the remaining 100 acres fol
$27.50.
The Edwards ranch of 4S0 acre.
was divided in three lots of 100 acre'
each, man from Green Creek buying
the first lot for $54.75 an acre and the
two remaining lots going to Ritz
vile man for $40 an acre.
Henry VonBargen, Jr., bought the
Nez Perce ranch Of $50 acres paying
the sum of 81, 800 for the same.
The Mcdonald ranch, another gooc
buy, was purchased by L. H. kerlet
for $50 an acre. In this ranch art
1886 acres of fine tillable land.
Every courtesy was extended to thu
9 visitors and the crowd well taken care
Of l. c. Hattabaugh made speecl
on the opening of the sale and a fn'
musical program was given by tn
Grangeville band. The land did no
sell too high and it is safe to say every
= man who made purchase will realiz'
profit on his investment. Auction
eer Ralph conducted the sale in I
highly commendable manner giving
satisfaction to both buyer and seller
Another big land sale will be hell
: in the county July 25. On that dat
: Mat Gilbert will dispose of his fin
ranch of 72O acres, located about fou
miles from town, at public auction
' This is fine place and will no doub

Your Vote is Needed

Election day is Tuesday, Novem-
Der Sth. Now, don't forget the date,
but arrange your business so as to
give up that day for the greatest
duty that you, as sovereign citi-
zen, can perform. On that day all
men are equal. The vote of a Rock
efeller has no more value than that
of a poor man, and may not have
as much weight in the political
scale if the poor man resides in a
close congressional district where
the vote may elect or defeat a rep
resentative in Congress, or q mem
Der of the state legislature who will
vote for United States Senator.
1t is useless to attempt to fore
Cast the outcome of the election,
for who can tell how some men will
vote with independence and politi.
cal unrest in the air? AS a general
thing, however, the trend is strong
/ ly towards the Democrats, and the
Republicans are on the anxious
seat promising that if you will give
them just one more chance they
will do better. But Republican
promises are at discount just now,
because they have not been kept in
the past. The promise to revise
the tariff downward and thus de-
crease the high cost of living, they
failed to keep, and prices of most
necessities are as high as ever be-
fore. From the general outlook
the sovereign voters will elect g
Democratic majority to Congress
as a protest against the broken
promises of the Republicans anC
their numerous sins of commission
and omission.
There are over fifty congressional
districts where a few votes may
turn the scale. and the vote O
yourself and your neighbor may b.
the deciding ones. Be sure and ge
that sluggish Democratic neighbo
and take him to the polls. His votC
is needed this time.

! The floral offeriong which adorn-
ed the casket were some of the
prettiest and most beautiful ever
seen at a funeral in Sedalia, and at
tested in a slight degree to the es-

Her death was one of the saddest
which has occurred here in years
and the sympathy of the entire
community will be extended to the
bereaved husband and other rela-
