PUBLIC SCHOOL
BOND CARRIED
oniy Fifteen Votes Cast Against
the bond---New Building be
Erected Yet This Fall and be
Two Stories High.

Cottonwood is to have a new
public school building. This fact
was definitely decided Tuesday
afternoon when the bond ques-
ton was decided by a vote of 131
for to Is against. This means
that work on the new building
will be started just as soon as
the necessary formaIities can be
completed and it is hoped that
the new building will be ready
for use by December first at the
latest.
There is no question about
quickly realizing on the bonds as
the state stands ready to take
them at par value at any time at
5 per cent interest, while private
companies may perhaps be will
ing to pay a slight premium for
them. Just as soon as plans can
be drawn and the contract
awarded material will be gotten
on the ground and work will be
begun. While no definite ar
rangements have as yet been
made it is quite probable that
the new building will be a two
story brick edifce and will per-
haps be steam heated. 1t will
be located in the center of the
lot facing the street and slightly
nearer to the street than the
present building. The intention
is to have it completed at the
earliest possible date so as to oc-
cupy it as soon as possible this
fall.
When the new school is finish
ed it will be an elegant structure
and a credit to the town some
thing every resident of the dis
trict can point to with pride.
The old school building will prob
ably be sold and removed after
the new one is finished.

Gathering Car Exhibit.

Jens Johnson, travelling exhibit
agent Of the immigration depart
ment of the Northern Pacific, is
now engaged in gathering prod
ucts in eastern Washington and
northern Idaho to be used in the
N. P. exhibit car sent through
the middle west and eastern
states the coming fall and Win
ter. Mr.. Johnson has visited a
number of points in eastern
Washington and has secured
some fine fruit specimens from
Charleston. He departed yester-
day for Grangeville and points
on Camas prairie to secure speci-
mems of grains and grasses and
will spend several days about
Lewiston to secure fruit and
grain products from this section.
The Northern Pacific last year
toured an exhibit car through
the middle west and eastern
states which attracted much in
terest and brought many inquir-
les to the sections represented
by products. The Lewiston
Charleston country was well rep
resented in this car but it is the
purpose of the company to make
the exhibits this year even more
comprehensive so that even
greater publicity may be secur-

AS To Idaho.

The New York Sun refers to
Idaho as a great agricultural
state, and in tone which carries
the idea that the Sun thinks it is
a joke to call Idaho an agricult-
ural state.
The Sun exists in the great
state of New York. 1t has the
Mohawk and the Genesee valleys
besides many others. The Gene
see valley was the greatest wheat
region in the world three score
years ago. If the Sun maintains
its place in the newspaper heav-
en- for another decade, it will
find by consulting the figures
that Idaho has more lands under
cultivation than New York, and
that, acre for acre, the Idaho
lands produce twice as much as
does New York. The people in
the east have no comprehension
of the possibilities of Idaho,
which is altogether a stalwart
state. 1t will not only have more
land under cultivation ten years
hence than there is in the state
of New York, but the crops on
an average will be twice as great
and then they will sell for more
than four times as much money.
Idaho is the Gem state. 1t should
be a subject of envy and not of
sneers for the Sun. 1t has the
mineral to supply the state with
money to any extent; it has the
agricultural lands to supply half
of the world with wheat and
fruit. All in all it is about the
best equipped state in natural
resources in all this union. Salt

The Rather Was AT Home.

Charlie Rookie was in town
Tuesday from his claim on Sal
mon river getting medical atten-
tion for a badly poisoned hand
which came in contact with the
business end of a rattlesnake a
couple of weeks ago. About dusk
one evening Mr.. Rookie stepped
out of his cabin, which is up a
foot or two from the ground, and
reached under the edge of the
building for a bucket. The snake
fastened its fangs in his wrist
and was jerked out into the open
and killed. Mr.. Rookie at once
cut into the wound and sucked
out the poison but the wound did
not heal properly and finally
made medical attention neces-
sary. His hand and arm to the
elbow are still pretty full of poi
son and it will be some time be-
fore he recovers entirely from
the effects of the bite.

Grain Prices Are Increasing.

The grain market is still slight
ly on the increase, probably due
to the presence of independent
buyers in the field and a stronger
competition among the local
dealers. While considerable bar
ley was contracted for earlier in
the season at prices below the
dollar mark dealers are now of
fering to contract white winter
barley of a brewing grade at
$1.15 per hundred and would
give the same price for large
punches of blue barley of first
quality. While this is a good
average price for barley many
of the farmers are refusing to
contract their crops as yet, be-
lieving that the crop shortage
through the middle western
states will force the price up
considerably higher before the
first of the year, as a heavy de-
mand for feed from the states
where the crops were burned up
and the consequent driving of
the big brewing companies to
the northwest for their barley is
almost certain to boost the barley
price above the present figures.
The wheat market is also look
ing up a trifle and GO cents is
being offered by local dealers for
Club wheat, which is about two
cents under the market price for
the Forty Fold grade, which in
cludes White Russian, Velvet
Chaff and similar grades. While
wheat is not expected to reach
a high price this season it may
increase from various causes un-
til the rs cent mark is reached.
but this is by no means certain.

NEzPERCE GIVEN
SUNDAYS GAME
potten Decisions by Umpire De-
,ided Result of Game in Early
Innings---Big Crowd Incensed
at Manifest Unfairness.

Cottonwood lost out in the
came with Nezperce Sunday by
score of 3 to II, chiefly owing
10 extremely doubtful decisions
on the part of the umpire. The
game started off in nice shape
and each team scored a run in
the first inning. In the second
inning, with two men on bases,
The umpire called a manifestly
foul ball over the left field fence
fair ball and gave Nezperce
three runs. This, together with
several previous doubtful decis-
ions. so took the starch out of
the home boys that they were
unable to play as they would
have under more favorable con-
ditions. In the eighth inning,
with a man on second and third,
Geo. Lange hit a ball squarely
over first base and would have
scored both men, but the ball
was called foul by "his jumps. "
Questionable decisions against
the home team were made in
nearly every inning, and but for
the fact that our boys are a
plucky lot of gentlemanly losers
and our fans" strong believers
in maintaining order under the
most provoking conditions a riot
might have ensued. AS it was
Nezperce was given a game in
stead of fairly winning it. 1t is
stated about a thousand dollars
changed hands on the game,
which many hold responsible for
the kind of a deal the local team
received.
Cottonwood will play next Sun
day at Nezperce and our citizens
will await the result of the game
with interest to see if the boys
are handed another bunch"
like last Sunday.

chester Sunday by a score of 8
to5, the batteries being Grange
vile, Carr and Holenstein; Win
chester, Turnbull, Fry and Cleve-
land. Grangeville got II hits
Oft Turnbull while Carr held the
visitors down to three hits.
Carr struck out 10 players to
Turnbull's 7.
1t was bad day for Umpire
t. Orr McMinimy who was criti-
clsed severely on his decisions
on balls, strikes and at the bases.
There was considerable wrang-
ing and the game was prolonged
lor two hours and "a minutes.
FRY, the catcher for the visitors,
was run into by Myers in TIE
seventh inning and was forced
70 retire from the game. He
was succeeded by Clevelend.-

BOY Receives Bad Tumble.

Harry, the 11-year old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Foster. was
thrown from a horse near the
slaughter house east of town on
wednesday afternoon and re-
celved injuries from which he
VIII not recover for some time
ne nad taken a message to the
HUH farm east of town and was
returning home when the acci-
dent occurred. While decendinp
the hill near the slaughter house
at a pretty good rate of speed
the horse he was riding must
nave stumbled and thrown the
lad to the ground with great
force. Frank Simon and joseph
Ohlenkott saw the running horse
and soon picked the boy up in
the road. He was unconscious
when found and remained out of
his head until the next morning.
Besides a bad bruise on the side
of his head he suffered the fract-
ure OF a bone in one shoulder
and was badly shaken up. 1t is
not thought that his skull is
fractured but his head still pains
him severely and it may be sew
eral days before he recovers from
the severe concussion.

Different Here.

Mr.. Barnes of the Standard
Lumber Company, brought into
the office of the Post today, a
sample of the wheat raised in
Kearney county, Nebraska, this
year. The wheat was cut as
close to the ground as was posi-
BILE, and varied in length from
six inches to a foot. The stems
at the head were about the size
of a timothy straw and several
Joints were in evidence in these
six to twelve-inch stalks. The
wheat grains are about one-ffth
the size of an ordinary Palouse
grain of wheat, and Mr.. Barnes
states that the farmers there eX-
pect a yield of from one to three
bushels per acre. The farmers
expect, however, to harvest this
wheat to obtain seed for next
year.-Moscow Post.
These poor Nebraska farmers
ought to see Camas prairie wheat
fields where the grain stands
from six to seven feet high, with
heads six inches long and kernels
the size of small beans. One
sight would be enough. They
would pull up stakes and come
to Idaho so fast that Nebraska
farming (?) communities would
soon be dispopulated.

Brookings Register:

Minneapolis, Jan. 4, 1911.
Brookings Register:
When l was last in your office l
promised to let you hear from me
once in a while. For several reasons
this is an especially suspicious occa-
sion. The first thing is that the son is
a good boy just like CD father was,
except that he makes much more noise
at unreasonable hours than | did Gas |
now remember. The second is that
| am enjoying my work in Minninap-
oils very much, and am doing very
we'll in every way. The third reason
is that !, though in the city hut four
months. have received a promotion to
a larger and better school. | am to
take the Calhoun school on January
80. 1t is out on Lake street a short
distance from Lake Calhoun. The
people OF the district are of the bust
ness and professional people. There
Is practically no smoke and in this
district We are deluged with it, and of
course coming from the Sunshine
State" | notice it very much. The
fact that the building is larger will
mean more salary in time and too.
that district is growing in population
while this one is becoming smaller be-
cause the business interests are
%crowding out the resid noes. There is
a clerk for the principal in that
school and not here. There is the old
est parents and teachers association
in the city in that district and in the
one, but there is little interest in the
school on the part of the patrons, they
being largely foreigners of all nation
alities So take it all in all, I have
many reasons to have a happy New
Year. I would have been very pleased,
indeed, even if | hadn't got the APP
pointment, to have known that I was
even considered for the place.
Wishing you the compliments Of the
season, / remain, Very sincerity,
Malcolm Aldrich,
Principal Jackson school.
