worth of liquors were seized and
the place that has been conduct
ed for some time by J. C. Yam
dell, and known among the local
sporting fraternity of that camp
as the Bucket of Blood" has
been closed. For some time ru-
mors that fire-water was being
dispensed in that camp have
found their way to the authori-
ties and some time ago a ship
ment which arrived in Grange
vile was traced to Elk so the
authorities decided the time was
ripe to make a raid. The traffic
was being carried on in the room
formerly occupied, by the Nick
Ingram saloon and the quantity
seized shows a brisk business
was anticipated.
The following is the list of
goods seized, the same has been
placed in custody of the sheriff
who has appointed a keeper and
stored the goods at Elk:
IA barrels of beer (Rainier)

bottles of Cedar Brook, two cases

flxlns Up A Nice Theatre.

cottonwood It is soon to have !
new theatre and the work of .s :
ranging it is now practically
llnlsned. W. S. Newport, man.
ager Of the local electric ligbt
pant, was the first to realize
enat TINS town needed another
opera house and to decide to en-.
gage IN the business of providing
tne citizens with high grade at,
fractions. With this end in view
ne rented the Creelman building
on Broadway and has been busilv
engaged for the past week or
more in putting it in shape to
open to the public. He has built
a nice stage at the rear of the
room, equipped it with electric
lights, and provided seats suffi-
cient to accommodate over 200
people. A balcony is also being
constructed at the front of the
building, and the entire inside
furnishings of the theatre will
be painted white. 1t is Mr.. New
ports intention to book only the
best attractions to be secured
and to provide at least two or
three shows each week. One
night each week will be given
over to a moving picture show.
An elegant electric sign will be
installed in front of the theatre
and everything possible will be
done to make the place a credit
to the city.
Mr.. Newport's enterprise is to
be commended and it is to be
hoped that his venture proves a
success, as it will provide plenty
of amusement for our people
during the winter months and
will do much to advertise Cotton
wood abroad as a good theatre
town.
We understand the theatre
will be opened at an early date
with a home talent play to be
put on by the local library club.

Lewiston Business Men Coming

A delegation of Lewiston busi-
ness men, some fifty in number,
will leave that city by special
train on next Tuesday to visit
the prairie towns and get ac-
quainted with the business men
and citizens of each town to be
visited. This train will reach
Cottonwood at 4:05 o'clock in the
afternoon and will remain here
for about half an hour. The
visitors will probably be escorted
to the Newport hall where they
will be given an opportunity of
meeting the citizens and infus-
ing them with some of the live
wire" "get-to-gether" spirit
that is So plentiful down at the
twin cities. AS the time to be
spent here is of necessity very
short it is to be hoped that all of
our people will come out and
show the visitors that their trip
here is appreciated. Let us all
get together and labor for the
upbuilding of every section of
this rich portion of Idaho. Show
that you are no back number by
being on hand at the train to
meet the visitors and make their
short stay here pleasant one.
No man is so busy but that he
can spare a few minutes for such
a purpose. Be one of the live
ones and be there.

TAFT PARDONS
EMBEzzLER
koblnett Plead Guilty and was
Sentenced to Serve Ten
Years But was Immediately
PardOned.

Clarence Robnett, of Spokane
formerly of Lewiston, will serve
ten years in the federal prison al
Leavenworth, he having appear.
ed in the federal court at Moscow
Monday and entered pleas Of
guilty to five indictments grow.
ing out of the embezzlement OF
$l37, 900 from the Lewiston Ma.
tlonal bank. On two counts,
charging the making of false
entries in the books of the bank,
ne received sentence of five years
each; in two counts for abstrac-
tion of funds, he received one
sentence of six months and an.
other of ten years, while on the
fifth count, charging conspiracy
with F. W. Kettenbach to de-
fraud the bank, he received a
sentence of ten years. Judge
Dietrich in announcing sentence,
said that each penalty imposed
should run concurrently, so Mr..
Robnett's term of service will be
ten years.
To the public generally, Rob-
nett's action in pleading guilty
came as surprise. as he had
been the principal witness for
the government in the bank trials
as well as in the timber fraud
cases, in which w. F. Ketten-
bach and George Kester were de-
PENDANTS, and it was generally
believed that under such circum-
stances he would be granted i'm
munity ordinarily allowed in such
cases. 1t seems that the govern
ment waived any privilege of
immunity they could have ex-
tended him, while the sentences
imposed by Judge Dietrich are
of such severity as to indicate,
the court felt that the defendant
was entitled to no immunity.
Robnett was reared in Lewis
ton and was identified with the
bank for years, commencing en-
ployment as a messenger and
working up to the position of
bookkeeper. He was considered
up to the period of his crime as a
most faithful and efficient man.
He began the promotion of the
Spokane Orchards enterprise
while he was still in the bank,
but later left the bank to devote
his entire attention to the orchard
enterprise. He is married man
and has several children. Lew.
iston Tribune.
LATER. President Taft par.
doned Robnett on Tuesday before
the self-confessed embezzler had
been given a chance to serve any
of his sentence and almost be-
fore the ink had had time to dry
on his sentence. The pardon is
one that will not set well with
the citizens of this state and the
president has not added to his
glory in granting it.

PROHIBITION A
DELUSI0N
Can Never be Enforced Sue
cessfully so Why Fool With
It Longer--Restriction the
Only System.

Local option and prohibition
are a snare and a delusion
snd always will b un-
Ill the end of time. 1t is just as
impossible to enforce prohibition
as it would be to prohibit the
BREATHING of air. 1t was too
late for prohibition to be a sue
cess when the manufacture of
alcohol was first discovered.
Just so long as liquor is made it
will be consumed, and that will
| be until this world ceases to be.
II the manufacture of liquor
could be entirely done away with
prohibition could be made a sue
cess, but as that is an impossi-
bility prohibition is also impossi-
bic. Whenever the prohibition
lists realize this fact and stop
butting their heads against a
stone wall, they will begin to
accomplish some results, and
when that time arrives they will
have a big majority of the So
called wet" people at their
backs helping them to put the
liquor traffic into the straight
Jacket where it belongs.
There is no argument in rant
ing about the great damage that
liquor does each year to our
young people and to the many
homes in our broad land. Every
person with a particle of COM
mon sense freely admits this.
The question is how to handle
the liquor traffic so as to make
it as harmless as possible. Local
option and prohibition will not
solve the puzzle. They have
been tried for years and have
proven to be miserable failures.
Maine has been a prohibition
state for forty years and has
been rotten from center to cir
cumference for most of the time
as result of trying t o enforce
an impossible law. Iowa, Hi
nols, Kansas, Nebraska, and the
southern states have all had a
Try at it, yet people coming from
tnose states say that it has been
an easy matter for almost anyone
70 get liquor there, even when
the moral wave was at its best.
government statistics state that
Illicit distilling has increased to
an alarming extent in the south
eastern states since the dry"
wave nit them, and this in spite

Why a Cat Arches Her Back.

Nature has taught the cat how f.
make up for small size and weakness
by pluck and nimbleness. In the
presence of a dangerous animal the
cat arches her back and erects her
tail. This increases her apparent size
and is calculated to strike terror into
the heart of the enemy. 1t is curious
that the cat assumes nearly the same
attitude when she comes into the room
or sees the family enter. Now. her
object is to attract attention, and with
this end in view she rubs herself
against your legs or your chair and
purs. The similarity Of the attitude
assumed under such extremely diff.
ferent circumstances is explained by
supposing that apparent increase of
size is useful, either to inspire terror
or to attract friendly notice.

An Acoustic Chair.

Long before the telephone was in
vented it had occurred to people that
sounds, especially the human voice
might be carried along a tube. Mar
rowing sounds, if only for little dis
tance, keep them from scattering
through the air. Even savages many
centuries ago discovered that by put
ting the hands together to the lnoTih
it was possible to throw the voice
farther. After q time somebody in
vented the speaking trumpet, especial.
ly useful at sea or among mountains
and the ear trumpet, by which tn"
deaf are enabled to listen to the Goa
versation of relatives and friends
Kindness to the deaf, who are glad
to hear even the chatter of children
led a Mr.. Curtis to contrive what he
called an acoustic chair. which he eX.
hibited early in the reign of Queen
Victoria
The chair was a high backed library
one and had two barrels to fit each
ear. but those who wished to talk by
its aid had no need to speak into
tube or mouthpiece. Perforated
plates collected the sounds Of the room
into vase, and from this they were
carried to the ears of any one seated
in the chair. Flexible tubes could be-
attached to the barrels communicating
with other rooms in the house. Thus
a deaf man sitting in the chair could
hear everything that was going on
almost as wen as if his hearing was
perfectly good
