The past week has been a scorcher
so far as weather is concerned. The
mercury has ranged from so at s a. m.
to nearly 100 in the middle of the af-
ternoon, beginning with last Satur-
day. The effect on grain has been
bad; in fact grain on the light lands
to the north and east of the city has
been materially damaged and unless
rain comes soon will not amount to
much. South and west of town grain
is in good shape and can stand still
more hot weather. Corn and pota-
toes are flourishing especially the
former, which always needs hot
weather to make it thrive. The fore
cast is for lower temperature and

Travelling in three Armor pal

are one, two and three-year old
fillies, some stations and some
mares,
The horses are brought here

from the cars and are now quar-
tered at the Idaho Feed yard on
East Main street. The shipment,
when leaving the east, comprised
thirty-seven head. but one valu-
able animal, a yearling, was kill

X. of P. Ball a Great Success.

The Thanksgiving ball given
in the local hall last night by the
K. of P. lodge was one of the
largest given here for a long
time and was too crowded for
comfort or pleasure. People
came from all parts of the prai-
rie, even as far away as Grange
vile, and quite a few were here
from over in the Nezperce coun-
try also, In all 106 tickets were
sold and the hall was crowded to
beyond it's capacity. The music
was excellent, the supper far
superior to any given here for
many days and the hall was
beautifully decorated, making
the occasion one long to be re-
membered by all present. Small
K. of P. pennants were given as
souvenirs to all ladies present.
The ball was a huge success f.
nancially and would have been
beyond comparison as a social
event had the hall only been
large enough to accommodate
the crowd. If many dances of
this kind are given here it will
soon be necessary to provide a
larger hall as the present one has
about outlived it's usefulness.

COM. CLUB TAKES

AT the meeting held in the
council room Monday evening il
was decided to re-ofganize the
old commercial club and prepare
to get in line for any develop
ment work that it may be neces-
sary to take up here in future.
E. l.. Parker was retained as
president of the club and a per-
manent secretary will be chosen
at a later date. While the meet
ing was not as heavily attended
as it should have been, most of
the business men and citizens
have since signed the roll as
members and it is safe to say all
will be found in line ready to do
their share in any enterprise that
the club decides to take up and
poosC. 1nere are plenty OF mat
ters for the advancement of the
welfare of the town and commu-
nifty that the club can consider
and further and we see no rea-
son why every citizen should not
attend the meetings and do all in
his power to help all of the pro-
jects along. 1t is the concerted
action of all that counts and we
hope to see the new club prosper
and accomplish much good for
this part of the county within
the next two years.

SEES GREAT
DAIRY COUNTRY
Lewiston Creamery Man Says
Prairie Country is Ideal
For This Purpose.

My trip with the boosters in
the special train over the Camas
Prairie country last week reveal
ed to me that one of the greatest
dairying sections in the United
States lies unused to any great
extent, and this particularly ap-
plies to the country about the
town of Winchester, for the
logged off lands there, in my
opinion, If sown to clover and
grasses would make excellent
pasturage and bring big returns
to those willing to interest them
selves" said Belden T. Bryan,
local manager Of the Commercial
Cream company, and he express
ed great surprise that the farm
ers of the section named failed
to enter what he considers one
Of the most profitable business
lines considering the little work
attached.
1t might not be known" con-
tinued Mr.. Bryan, but the
market is right here in Lewiston
for all dairying produce, and the
prices offered elsewhere are al
ways met here, and in many in
stances the local price is better.
The Commercial Cream company
produced last year more than
one-quarter million pounds Of
butter at their Lewiston branch,
in addition to which at least
rs, 900 gallons of ice cream were
made.
The farmer investing a little
mony in good milch cows is wise.
They can be turned loose to pas
ture and exact but little care.
On an average a return of $12
per head a month is received, 90
it can be easily estimated the
Importance of the industry il
entered upon a fair sized scale. .
Mr.. Bryan stated that last
June the price of good butter fat
in Lewiston was 22 1-2 cents.
and that at this time the price
had scared to 81 1-2 cents with q
further advance probable. The
highest point reached last year
was 20 1-2 cents, hence it can be
seen that the dairymen are fort

After Election Notes.

Sites was the banner dry"
precinct with a majority of 15e
votes, but Cottonwood more than
offset it with a 180 wet" ma
jority.
The final result of the vote
cast last week, as far as can be
ascertained without an official
count being, made, gives the
''wets" a majority of ia in this
county.
The "drys" cast something
less than a hundred more votes
this election than were cast by
the same side two years ago,
while the "wets" increased their
vote by about 600. Looks like
the latter did not get out two
years ago.

NORTH-SOUTH
ROAD is CERTAIN
Idaho Northern and "Pin"
Roads Trying for Salmon
River Route and Should
Connect Here.

1he cream OF a north and sout
railroad through Idaho is to be
come a reality within anothe
year, the two distinct empire
forming this state will be united
says a Boise dispatch of Nov
23d. For many years it was con
sidered a physical impossibilit,
to build a railroad through tn,
mountainous country separating
the north and the south of Idaho
but engineering skill has solved
the problem and two great inter.
ests, the Hartman and the Hill
are engaged in a race for the &C
complishment of the great task
At the present time the great.
est activity is being shown by the
Hartman interests, which con.
troll the Idaho Northern, line
in operation between Nampa and
Emmett and being rapidly ex-
tended to the northward. This
line is to follow the Payette river
to Payette lakes, and then down
Salmon river to Grangeville, con-
Meeting there the company's line
already built. The right-of-way
has been obtained through the
Long valley as far north as the
lakes, and the survey and cross
sectioning has been finished.
Only the preliminary work has
been done north of the lakes, but
with the coming of spring the
scene of activity will be shifted
to the north.
Until a little more than a year
ago the Idaho Northern was an
Independent line, but during the
railroad activity when the Hill
interests showed plainly their in
tention of invading what had
been Harriman's own territory,
control passed into the hands of
the Hartman people and plans
for the extension which is now
being built were begun.
The plans of the Hill interests
are generally understood. 1t is
known that the Pacific & Idaho
Northern is a Hill road, and it
will form an important link in
the north and south line Of that
system. The Pacific & Idaho
Northern is in operation between
Weiser and New Meadows, a
distance of 80 miles. Plats filed
in the Boise land Office indicate
that the route from New Mead
ows will be east to Lardo, thence
circling the Payette lakes and
taking an entirely different route
from that of the Idaho Northern,
connecting with the Gilmore &
Pittsburg at some point along the
south bank of the Clearwater.
The western extension of the
Gilmore & Pittsburg, which is
in operation from Armstead,
Mont, to Salmon City, Idaho.
follows the Salmon almost the
entire distance into Lewiston.
The survey for this line has been
completed.
The building Of these two roads
connecting the northern n d
southern parts of the state will
have a marked effect, both on
the business and political life OF
Idaho. At present there is little
in common between the two Sec
tions and there never has been.
In climate, industries and re-
sources, northern and southern
Idaho are as different as though
they were thousands of miles
apart.
When the first sf these two
lines is put in operation it will
reduce the travelling time be-
tween Lewiston and Boise by
more than half. Instead OF a
trip through three states, the
Journey will. be a matter of but
eight of ten hours.

1fave Creek Route a Logical One

OF connecting the new roads from

line at Grangeville. Perhap.
they may be right in this as
sumption but until the road i,
finally completed we will fee
that this connection is made be.
cause the papers at a distance dc
not understand the Typographical
features of this country, else
they would cease to make this
mistake. To anyone who is ac-
qaainted with this section of Ida.
no. and especially the Salmon
river country, it does not look at
all reasonable to think that the
north and south road will ever
go so far out of it's way and incur
such a useless expense as to build
it's line to Grangeville when it
can connect with the prairie line
at this place without having to
go a foot out of its way or en-
counter any heavy grades.
A road coming down Salmon
river from the south will of me-
cessity have to hug the river
pretty close for almost the entire
distance from Meadows to White
Bird. From the latter point it's
only way out onto the prairie
would be up White Bird creek by
circuitous route to Grangeville
or up Rocky Canyon and Grave
Creek to this place. The route
up White Bird creek would entail
difficult piece of road building
and a pretty steep grade to reach
the level of the prairie and would
necessitate making quite a loop
in order to hook onto the present
line at Grangeville. By follow
ing the Grave Creek route the
road would be maintaining al
most a due north and south line
from where it reaches the river
near Meadows to it's junction
with the prairie road at this point
and in the ten or twelve mile
climb from the river up Rocky
Canyon and Grave Creek to this
olace it would have an easy grade
hat would not begin to compare
With the Culdesac grade in any
aspect. By connecting at this
,oint the road would have the
most direct route it is possible to
ecure and would cut out at least
lalf the distance necessary to
each this place by taking the
'ther route, to say nothing of
he heavier cost of construction
IN the other route.
It is barely possible that the
road might decide to follow down
the river all the way into Lewis
ton but this does not seem rea-
sonable when by connecting with
the prairie line it will have as
dirict line, almost as easy a
grade, and cut out about seventy
or eighty miles of exceptionally
and difficult track to
build. When the road is con-
nected at this point it will have a
direct route into Seattle or Port
land and water grade all of the
way.
In calling attention to the SUI
perior advantages of the Grave
Creek route over all others we
do not mean to throw any sticks
in the way of the county seat
town and it's expectations OF
eventually welcoming the termi-
nus of the road from the south
but we fully believe that if the
railroad people will only stop to
investigate the latter route they
will see it so nicely adapted to
their needs and so easy of con-
struction that they will not be
able to pass it up when the time
comes to build the road.
