ton of keeper of the store room which
was recently created by the outgoing
board of education the new board Mon
day night also decided to use the room
In the manual training building which
had been set aside for supplies, for the
high school wor. The idea of the old
board was that money could be saved
by purchasing supplies in large quanti-
ties and handling them in a systematic
manner.
The art department at the high
school will be in the room provided for
clay modelling next fall, and the two
rooms formerly occupied by the art de-
partment will be used as recitation
rooms.
These recommendations of Superin-
tendent STAIRS were referred to the
building committee for consideration:
(a) That the lockers from the boys
locker room be temporarily placed in
the upper hallway and an additional
recitation room provided in this way.
(b) That an archway be cut between
rooms 8 and in the Manual Training
building and that folding doors be
placed in the archway.
The Johnson Service company was
authorized to go over their apparatus
in the various school buildings and give
estimated cost Of making any repairs
necessary to put everything in good
shape.
The teacher in the new normal train
ing course in the high school who will
take her classes on eighteen half days
in the course of the year to visit the
rooms of the elementary schools, was
allowed $50 extra for this work.
w. o. Clark was reelected as truant
officer. Mr.. Clark has held the position
for the last two years.
On account of the fight which was
made last year against compelling pu-
lis to purchase supplemental books
the board decided to purchase books
valued at 1856 for use in the higher
grades. They include 425 copies of
Language and Literature, 425 copies of
| Art and Literature, and 615 copies of
Stepping Stones.
A motion to substitute 1.-THE Com
munity and the Citizen for algebra as
suggested by superintendent Starr was
referred to the committee on text
books and supplies.
W. J. Stage. the clerk of the board
of education for the past year, stated
| that he will not contest the action OF
the board. Mr.. Stage is an old soldier
and might make a fight to retain the

WON THE PENNANT
Nezperce Awarded the Camas
Prairie Ball Pennant.
We TIE vOLuMER AND REUBENS
Plans for Next Season Indicate
Early Close.

A meeting of the officers Of the
Prairie Baseball league was held
Monday at Vollmer, at which time
Nezperce was officially declared the
winner of the pennant for the season
Of 1911 just closed. Cottonwood
finishes in the second position, with
Winchester third. The Grangeville,
Reubens and Ilo- -Vollmer teams were
declared tied for the fourth place, as
these teams were disbanded and did
not play the series Of games scheduled.
The season has been highly success
full from a financial and publicity
standpoint and a considerable sum of
money is left in the treasury with
which to begin next year. The busi-
ness firms of the towns maintaining
teams have received additional bust
ness due to the bringing together of
large numbers to attend the ball
games. The business of the league
has been transacted in a most salts
factory manner and all questions have
been settled to the complete satisfac-
ton of all concerned.
The class Of ball provided would
compare very favorablv with that Of
more pretentious leagues and the
work of number of the players re-
suited in they being offered higher
salaries than the prairie league teams
could afford to pay. Special trains
have been necessary to handle the
baseball crowds and the patronage
has been very satisfactory to the rail
road company upon all occasions.
The conditions point to even a
stronger league next season and the
work of organizing for the year will
be taken up in time to permit the
opening of the series at date con-
siderably earlier than this season. II
is expected the series will be closed
on July 4, as the experience of this
season has demonstrated that the de
mands of the farms require the at
tention of too many people after tha
date.

Enjoying Life on the Salmon.

The writer was down to the Robie
bar, the placer property eight miles
up the Salmon river from Whitebird,
which was purchased by Grange
vile syndicate composed Of DR.. F..
A. Campbell, Mark Howe, Isaac
Campbell and G. A. Pangborn, a year
ago, last week and enjoyed the hos
pitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Howe, who
are spending the summer there. The
property is not being worked this
season but Mark has one Of the finest
gardens in that section of the country,
sweet corn, cantaloupes, watermelons,
new potatoes, peas, cucumbers and
even peanuts. What that Salmon
river soil won't grow when you get
water on it has not as yet been found
Mark is Drowned up like Hiawatha
but is not nearly as slender as the
Indian maiden. He is enjoying lif'
to the utmost, the only Inconvenience
being his inability to meet many
people with whom to discuss politics
However he is putting in the even
ings reading up on the politics of th'
day and will come out this fall wei

1O4 Bushels to Acre.

The record barley yield on the
Camas prairie country has been re-
ported from the farming section be-
tween Green Creek and Winona
where an S0-acre tract averagsd l04
bushels to the acre. The barley was
sold for $1.31 per hundred which
brings the value of the crop to S65. 40
per acre.
This yield was reported by John
Baer, the we'll known stock buyer OF
Cottonwood, and Mr.. Baer states there
are large areas in the Camas Prairie
country that will average 100 bushels
or better of winter seeded barley. Dur
ing the past few weeks Mr.. Baer has
spent much Of his time in the farm
ing districts in search Of fat hogs and
in this way has secured close esti
mates upon the crop production. Tht
harvest returns have been even larger
than the estimates made by farmers
three weeks ago and it is now gener
ally conceded the grain shipments
from Camas Prairie will be considerbl.
in excess of any previous year.

The filing of criminal action
against County Assessor and Tax
Collestor Emmit J. Gimmell of Latah
county in Justice Cummings court
last week by Prosecuting Attorney
Suppiger on complaint of Editor P. l..
Orcutt of the Star.Mirror of Moscow
for having county printing done in
Spokane may be the beginning Of much
contention among the county and state
officials of Idaho. The law on this
subject is said to be sweeping, and a
warrant has also been issued for
Clinton Wilson, Mr.. Gimmells Office
deputy, but will not be served by
Sheriff Browns Office until County
Assessor Gimmell returns home from
Boise, at which time both will be ar
rested. 1t is pointed out that under
the provisions Of this law "all county
printing, binding and stationery work,
executed for or on behalf Of the several
counties throughout the state, for
which the said counties contract, or in
any way become responsible, shall be
executed within the county
The law further provides that if not
practicable to have done in the county
then it must be sent to some place
within the state. Section 1476a reads:
''Any state or county officer either as
official, member of board, or pur-
chasing agent who violates any Of the
provisions of this act is guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined i'll the sum Of
not less than 500 nor more than $500
for each offense," and also provides
they are liable upon their official
bonds.
"Since the question has been raised
in criminal prosecution against Mr..
Gimmell it has aroused much interest
in almost every county Of Idaho, and
officials who have books and station
cry purchased contrary to this law
are subject to prosecution" says Coun-
ty Attorney G. w. Suppiger. This
law is said to affect the newly-created
counties of Idaho as we'll as all other
counties of the state
Some lawyers who have examined
the subject express the opinion that
counties may recover from officials
who have used the public funds to pay
for work executed outside the state in
violations of the provisions of the pub
lie printing law.

Loses His Eye.

George Reed, who has been suffer
ing agonies of pain W lth his eye ever
since he made a trip to Grangeville
some three weeks ago or more, at
which time he got some foreign OBJ
ject in it, besides tax ing severe cold
which seemed to settle in it, has
finally lost sight of the eye entirely.
On Sunday morning while standing
before the dresser tho pupil fell from
the eye. 1t is hoped the other eye
will now become all right again, as
probable the pain felt in 1T has been
sympathetic, and the pain Is not SO
great now as it has been in the dis
eased eve. Mr.. Reed has the sym
pathy of many friends in his affilction.

Visitors Won Polo Game.

The polo game between a Lewiston
team and one made up Of local boys
was played at the skating rink last
Saturday night and resulted in a
victory for the visitors, the score
being 2 to l. The game, while new
to most Grangeville people, brought
forth good crowd and the manage
ment did everything possible to make
the evening a pleasant one. The
local team, which was but recently
organized, is composed Of George
Bowman, Frank Bowman, Clifford
Tilly, Ed Schmadeka, Basil Harris
and Bert Baker, played with vim and
vigor. 1t is said Nezperce will or
ganize team and with one at Lewis
ton and another at Grangeyille, the
sport ought to become quite popular
during the coming months. The
rink is regaining its popularity o.
several years ago and with gooe
music, an excellent floor and the bes
of management is drawing lary'
crowds nightly.

Local Option Petitions Out.

At meeting Of a number of busi-
ness men held the first of the week it
was decided to circulate petitions
among the voters of the county for
signature asking for the calling Of a
local option election. The law pro-
vides that where 40 per cent OF the
voters of the county petition the COM
missioners to call such an election the
question shall be submitted. The
petitions are being literally signed
and it does not look as though there
will be any trouble in securing plenty
of signers. It will be necessary fol
1911 voters to sign the petition III
order to secure the re-submission o.
the question.

Used the Hartman Method"

A warrant was issued late Saturday
afternoon for the arrest of Peter Coil,
the charge being rape upon the person
Of one Florence Bissen, girl under
twelve years of age. The hearing was
held Tuesday before Judge DeHaven
but there was not enough evidence
presented to convince the court that
the defendant should be held to the
district court and he was discharged,
The girl, who had told story to the
sheriff and a physician previous to the
trial which if true did not reflect any
credit on the defendant, denied the
truthfulness of the same on the stand
and admitted that the same was a
fabrication, pure and simple. The
father Of the child took the stand and
stated he had ordered the defendant
from his home on three occasions, at
one time useing what he called the
Hartman method Of election. Just
what this method was could not be
determined by the opposing attorneys,
Atty. Griffith holding such method
constituted forcible election and Atty.
Scales maintaining that it was by the
art Of gentle persuasion.
Coil was given some advice by the
court and turned loose and it is the one
hope of the officers that hereafter the
Bissen family will settle their domes
tic affairs in the family circle.

Idaho County at Boise.

In speaking Of his trip. upon his
return from Boise recently, Hon.
James Surridge spoke as follows re-
garding the Idaho county contingent
at the capital and also some sugges-
tions as to the solving of the north and
south transportation problem:
Il had a splendid trip and found
Boise has made a wonderful growth
since 1908. The north end Of our
state never had the representation it
has now, and it ought to be proud Of
the men the people of the whole state
have placed there from among us.
found our old friend |. G. Hatta-
baugh with his coat off and hard at
work, but gave us the old fashioned
greeting we always get from him.
Justice Ailshie was out of town.
The only unpleasant condition !
found was being forced to go out of
our state through Washington and
Oregon to get to our capital city with
a 23-hour delay at Lewiston Junction.
This was little more than usual but
the connections were bad. You ar
rive at the junction II M, and can't
get Lewiston train until eigth o'clock
next morning. With six counties
tributary to the Lewiston Gateway fol
all the western country, this is bad
| for our own state
One more word Everybody from
the Governor down, that | talked
with, wants to see good automobile
road that the state and counties car
own, running from Utah to the
Canadian line, and have the people
the state and counties have to keep il
the state prison and jails help build it
The railroad north and south look
good for the near future, in fact every
thing indicates, that if we are not The
best state in the Union, we are going
to be.

Drew Ten and Costs.

As a result Of becoming too OBJ
streperous, one of the linemen for the
Nezperce telephone people, paid a fine
of SO and costs in the court Of Judge
Woodward Monday morning. The
trouble occurred Saturday evening
and was the result of too much of the
Oh-be-joyful water and desire to
take charge Of the dining room Of a
local hostelry. However the waiter
succeeded in bringing order out Of
chaos and the gentleman who handles
the wires was finally quieted. The
total amount of the fine was $13, al
unlucky lumber, which was paid and
the trouble ended.

serious character. At the hearing the
defendant had no attorney and sit
through the same wearing a detected
look and seemed to realize his mis-
take. The court bound him over to
await the action Of the district court
under 81 1000 bonds which to date he
has not furnished and as result is
incacerated in the county Jail. Cham
berlain does not look like criminal,
in fact he has good face and strikes
one as boy who had made a grave
mistake rather than a man who was
up to such tricks.
