States Big Men at Pioneers Cele-
bration.
SPECIAL A|NFROMlEWITON
Nezperce Pioneers Coming Three
Hundred Strong.

There is every assurance that the
Pioneers celebration, to be held July
3, will be one Of the best attended
and most profitable meetings the
trailblazers have held in years. A
number Of replies have been received
by President Parker from the invi-
tations issued to old pioneers and
prominent men of the state. In
letter to Mr.. Parker, Governor Haw-
ley states that while he would like
very much to be with the Pioneers
upon the occasion Of their meeting on
June 18th, the first date set, he cam
not at this time state definitely that
he will be able to participate in their
meeting. Governor Hawley, il will
be recalled, spent the first eight
months of his residence in this state in
Florence and is one of the pioneers Of
Central Idaho At the time the
invitation was issued to the Governor
the date for the meeting was set for
the fifteenth pf xkfs month but Is it
has been changed to July 3rd, it may
be that the. GoyernoE will be able to
be here. <.sssAs.s
Senator 1so.ah :4nd Congressman
French, have sent their regrets, as
the present session Of congress will no
doubt continue through the month Of
july they find it impossible to BE-
here s5af s.N
Major Fem Of Kooskia has writ
ten that he will participate and In
surance Commissioner |. G. Hatta-
baugh Of Boise has signitied his in
tentions Of being present.
The pioneers from Nezperce are
coming in a body, as the, following
item from the Lewiston paper indi-
Gates:
Charles G. Kress, president Of the
Nezperce Pioneer association, stated
yesterday that the interest developed
seem to assure that the pioneers would
run an excureion train to Grange
vile on July 3rd, when the Idaho
County Pioneers hold their reunion.
MIR. kress expects to complete ar
rangements so that a definite an
nouncement can be made by Friday.
Superintendent Finch has in response
to the application made consented to
provide special train for the pur-
pose, the moderate guarantee Of $500
being asked. The rate for the round
trip is only $4.l5 SO fifty passengers
will be sufficient to meet the guaran-
tee. 1t is expected 200 to 300 will
join the excursion. The trip over
the High Line is most delightful
one, and it is planned to make all
necessary arrangements to assure the
excursionisas comfortable journey.

Canyon County Has Enough.

Nampa, june 5.-Another local
option election is forthcoming in Can.
yon county according to petitions that
were put into circulation in this CITY
today.
Two years Of the ''dry' regime shall
have obtained in this county in Au.
gust Of this year. and many who ad.
vocate the opposition to the present
order Of things advocate that ma.
terial change of sentiment has taken
hold Of the people and that another
election will place the county back in
the wet column.
The petition is being freely signed
and there is every indication that the
county commissioners will be requir-
ed to call an election in August.
1t is reported in Parma, where less
than a hundred votes were cast in the
last local option election that now $50
have signed the petition asking for the
second election.
On the other hand, many contend
that the petition signatures are no in
dication Of the voting results as many
may have concluded that it is only
fair to test sentiment after the trail Of
"dry' conditions end for that reason
they are willing to sign the petition.
The general predictions are, how.
ever, that there is great likelihood Of
the county going "wet," because it is
SO completely encircled by wet terri
tory.
Mrs. George Langdon is circulating
the petition in Nampa.

Presbyterians Won.

The lovers of the national game,
who were fortunate enough to be on
the grounds Tuesday afternoon were
treated to as classy an exhibition OF
ball sport as has been witnessed on the
local diamond this season.
The male members and relatives Of
the Presbyterian church lined up
against like combination of the
Christian church, and, from the crack
Of the umpire's gun, dished out an
article of ball, that bewildered the
baseball enthusiasts Of these parts.
Algie, slab artist for the Presbyterian
church, and Wolff, for the Christian,
were both slugged from the rubber
in the first inning. skinny" Day
and "Bing' Van Syse, who were sent
in to the rescue stopped in a measure
the slaughter, and the game proceeded
without further mar or accident.
The umpire seemed to be the weakest
position on both teams, as that official
came near losing the game for both
sides on several different occasions.
Space will not permit comment on
the individual stars of the game. The
name of the umpire will not be pub
lished until public sentiment has had
an opportunity to die down.
The score won the game for the
Presbyteriaas 8 to 13. The defeated
team doesn't know how it happened,
but insists that it can't be done again.

Tightening Strikes Home.

The home Of John Long, a rancher
who lives four miles from town, was
struck by tightening during the storm
Of last Saturday and considerable
damage done. The bolt struck the
building where the telephone wires
entered, tore the instrument from the
wall and charred the walls in the
vicinity. Most Of the windows of the
house were broken. Mr.. and Mrs.
Long were in Grangeville at the time
and the four children were alone in
the house but aside from slight
shock they escaped injury.

The mill Of justice has been grinding
rather steadily during the past week
and the court room Of Judge Vine
yard has the appearance Of a night SEES
sion Of the police court. The sheriff
Office has been keeping the track hot
between Grangeville and Lewiston
taking the prisoners to the Nez Perce
county jail to serve the time doled
out to them by the stearn Of old jus

water, drawing a meal ticket and
several nights rest from Idaho county.
Thirty Days for Theft.
Dwight Anderson, young man Of
Sites, was arrested last Saturday by
Sheriff Overman upon the charge Of
stealing a gun from a party near
Harpster. He was taken before
Judge Vineyard and plead guilty to
the charge. The court gave him
thirty days in the jail and as the
Idaho County jail has been condemn
ed by the grand jury and is not a fit
place in which to keep prisoners he
was taken to Lewiston and placed in
the Nez Perce county Jail, by Deputy
Quinlan Sunday where he will serve
his sentence. 1t is said that young
Anderson does not bear an enviable
reputation in the Clearwater country
and was recently taken before Sites

horse from farmer Of the Harpster
section to which he admitted his guilt.
ewas assessed small fine and re-
leased upon the payment Of the same
and the return of the horse.
Runor has it that after he has sery-
ed his sentence for the theft of the gun
he will be tried upon a more serious
charge.
Mcpherson Landed.
Silas Mcpherson, the young man
who made the brutal assault upon one
Rideout, lumber-jack of the Clear
water section, at ball game played at
Clearwater several Sundays ago, gave
himself up to the officers last week and
was brought to Grangeville Friday and
his trial held before Judge Vineyard.
From the evidence brought out at
the hearing it appeared that McPher-
son, who smarting under the defeat
he had suffered in a fistic encounter
with Rideout during trouble last win
ter had waited an opportunity to lay
low his assailant and on the day Of
the crime struck him with lead
knuckle. The court gave him a fine

DOCTOR PREsCRIBEs
cUTICURA REMEDIES

'sI wish to let you know Of a couple
Of recent cures which ! have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.

terminate in little pustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
Ing to get relief. I recommended all
the various treatments I could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
TN the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
ods with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as did not know much about
Cuticura at that time I was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. I could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths Of Cuticura
Soap and applications OF Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
p1etely cured.

the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. ---,
and this was two months ago. told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Guti-

me, from the very first days use Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly

one of the most effective. Comparatively little
experience is required for its successful opera

Government officials have within the past few
months invented several new machines for
quickening and cheapening the manufacture OF
paper money and postage stamps and whereas
these inventions may not find very extensive
adoption outside the government workshops,
they will exert an important influence there.
Among these inventions is 8 remarkable
combination machine which at one operation
stamps the successive serial number on each
bank note, impresses in color the official seal,
cuts the sheets of money into Individual notes
and counts the bills-tasks that formerly re-
quired as many different machines and an Inn
mense expenditure of time. Another new 1nyen-
ton is machine which automatically trims at
one stroke all four edges Of sheet Of bank
notes. A third new invention is machine for

and the results were really surprising IL many
respects. For one thing the music as heard
at the other end of the line was remarkably
clear and sweet. Indeed 1t was seemingly
more perfect tone production than that obtain
able under any other conditions inasmuch as
the telephone served to entirely eliminate the
needle nose," the on suggestion OF the me-
chanical which talking machine inventors have
never been able to entirely eliminate. It is
believed that this disclosure OF the possihtli
ties of transmitting music by phone will ultt
mately enable people to enjoy concerts by the
best vocal and instrumental talent when seat
ed in their own homes. This would, of course
prove an especial boon In the case of subur-
banites and residents OF the rural districts
where the use Of the telephone has increased
so tremendously in recent years. In the ex-
periments with multiplex telephony the graph
ophone music was employed to still further
demonstrate the possibility Of using single
wire for the transmission Of various messages
simultaneously, each Independent OF the others.
For instance, on one occasion Caruso, by
means of a ttafker," sang ON the line while
The Charge OF the Light Brigade" Gas re-
cited into separate transmitter close at handy
was carried over the same wire at the same
time without in any way interfering with the
famous tenors voice.
OF Uncle Sans recent innovations In tech
ntcal equipment none bids fair to ultimately
work greater wonders than the lately intro
duced Pu1motor. The Pulmotor is a delicate
ly adjusted machine that occupied portable
case not much larger than the ordinary dress
suit case, and It's function Is to bring back to
life persons supposed to be dead. The gov
ernment provided the first OF these new mir
acle workers for the use Of the newly estab-
ushed United States bureau Of mines In its
work OF rescuing men overcome by the poison
GUS gases in coal mines but the advent of the
invention is opening up life-saving possibilities
in other fields, as, for instance, at bathing
beaches and in city hosp1tals-in short In any
case where death Is threatened through the
filling Of the lungs with gas or water.
The Pulnotor is, LII effect an automatic
breathing machine, its function being to draw
the poisonous gases out OF the lungs and to

Much has been printed from time to time re-
garding the machines that almost think in
vented by the mechanical experts of the United
States census bureau to aid Uncle Sam in the
big task Of counting noses. However, there Is
one invention. newer than any Of the others re-
garding which little has been said. This Is the
automatic card-sorting machine the function Of
which Is to sort mechanically the ninety odd

medium OF sensitive needles which seek out the

each card to record biographical facts and dis

these holes.
Uncle Sans greatest business Institution, the
postof1ce department, has lately fostered its
share Of new inventions aside from the stamp
vending machines with which It has long been
experimenting. The late novelties include an

visible hand and almost quickly than
the eye can follow the operation, these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetfzed
surface
This new magnet worlds record breaker
In size as well as in power, was constructed
specially for the United States government by
a firm of instrument makers in Switzerland.
The circumstances connected with the design
ing of the magnet Illustrate how great minds
may run in the same direction. Mr.. Frederick
Bates, the United States government expert
who Is at the head Of the division OF po1arimet-
ry at the bureau of standards and working In
conjunction with other government scientists,
just worked out the detailed plans for such a
magnet when he discovered that the foreign
instrument makers who ultimately built this
one for our government had been covering the
same ground at the same time, each inventor
unconscious OF the activities OF his rival on the
opposite side of the Atlantic.
Perhaps the most unusual attribute of this
magnet Is that 1t is made available for con
tinuous use, this being accomplished by re-
placing ordinary insulated wires such as are
commonly used with copper tape. This cop.
per tape Is surrounded by insulating oil.
Through this oil there are run coils Of copper
tubing about one-half inch in diameter and
through this tubing cold water is circulated to
carry off the enormous heat which is devel.
oped. In the same room with the new magnet
is yet newer invention-the product of gov
ernment scientists-Whieh promises great
things. 1t is known vacuum gauge and IL

One of the most notable of Uncle Sans
scientific triumphs Of the present year is the
new system of multiplex telephony mentioned
above and which by its disclosure Of method
of transmitting number Of telephone mes
sages simultaneously over the same wire is ex-
pected to greatly reduce the cost OF long dig
tance telephone conversation. IN connection
with the development of this new form of tel
ephony which will make one wire do the work
of ten, Major squfer and his associates have
carried on some experiments which. though
originally intended only as means to an end,
now promise to have a distinct value Of their
own In disclosing the possibilities Of transmit
ting music by telephone.
