Deputy Grand Sachem Converts
Many to the Cause.
over FORTY NEW MEMBERS
Lodge Fitting up Commodious
Quarters in Pfeufer Building.

Things are humming among the
Redmen, we do not refer to the sons
of Chief Joseph on the reservation
where frewater is as scarce, some
times, as hen teeth, but to that live
bunch who constitute the membership
of the local lodge of the worthy
fraternal order bearing that name.
The new life which has been taken on
by the local lodge was brought about
by the visit of G. G. Bacon, deputy
grand sachem of Washington, who is
here for few days adding members
to the order. So far he has met with
great success, over forty having already
joined the order and applications are
coming in like grain from a fall
thresher on Camas Prairie. The en-
tire Grangeville band has joined as
have also large number of the
members of the ball team. 1t is the
intention of the local lodge to organ
ize and uniform the band and when
the ball season opens put Redmen
ball team in the field.
Realizing the Importance and value
of the younger members a degree
staff of twenty has been formed and
drills are being held nightly so that
if any of the new members lacked
anything in the way Of initiation,
future applicants will have no reason
to complain. Every effort is being
made to place the local lodge in tip
top shape for next year the state
grand council fire will be held in this
city and there will be members of
that order here from all sections.
At the last kindling of the council
fire, as the meetings are called, the
old chiefs resigned and new ones were
appointed to fill their places, with the
exception Of the chieftancy ofprophet,
which office can be filled only by a
past sachem, the honor being be-
slowed upon Joe Wade. Other Off
GERS are: George A. Smith, sachem;
Fem Batty, senior sycamore; w. E.
Bunnell, junior sycamore; Don Fisher,
chief Of records; Emil Won Bargen,
keeper of wampum; Hub Wood, Lee
Harris, Jr., and Ed Abrahamson,
trustees.
The appointive officers chosen by
the new sachem are: Leo Brust
first sannap; Lee Harris, Jr., second
sannap; J. G. Wood, first warrior
G. II. Wood, second warrior; +. G.
Gillett, third warrior; Ed Abraham
son, fourth warrior; f. Fuller, first

who was arrested last week and,
charged with the violation Of the local
option law, did not prove to be the
big sensation looked for in some
quarters. McClannahan conducts a
soft drink establishment in, the Won
Berge building and has been under
suspicion for some time. Last week
Sheriff Overman, assisted by Police
man Brown searched the place and
secured several bottles of what is al
legged to be intoxicating liquor. The
hearing was set for Monday Of this
week, Police Judge Taylor presiding.
A stenographer was secured in the
person of l.. G. Chadwick, the court
room put in order and a large crowd
assembled, but the defendant, through
his attorney, w. N. Scales put one
over by waving examination. He
was bound over to the District Court
in bonds to the amount of $500
which were furnished.

An Interesting Exhibit.

The Idaho National Harvester
Company, manufacturers Of the famous
Little Idaho" harvester, are fitting
up an attractive office in Bertsch' 5
Hardware as headquarters for their
newly appointed general agent, and
the exhibit they are installing to
show the accomplishments Of their
wonderful little machine is interesting.
Samples Of barley, wheat, oats,
field peas, beans and even Indian
Maize, product Of lower California,
that have been threshed with the
the Idaho are shown and it is remark
able how clean a job can be done with
the little machine without cracking
the grain.
Stock parts Of the machine are
also on display and the visitor is inn
pressed with the quality Of the material
used and the finished appearance Of
the parts. Until recently the majority
of the castings, bearings and various
parts of the Idaho have all been hand
made but with the adoption Of these
parts as standard the Company has
installed a machine, or series Of
machines for their manufacture there
by making them uniform and inter
changeable, as well as greatly reduc,

Using Good Judgement.

Some little time past complaint was
made against certain parties who are
in the hills in the Clearwater section,
it being alleged that some supplies in
cabin had been taken by them. That
the matter has been looked upon in
the wrong light by some people is.
evident by the view that seems to be
held by a few people of Kooskia. Pro-
scouting Attorney Griffith stated to
the writer that the facts were substan-
TALLY this, so far as he is able to get
at the bottom of it.
Supplies were taken by several men
from cabin back in the mountains
and note left by the men stating
they would settle for the same upon
arriving at Kooskia. 1t seems this is
not uncommon among mountain peo-
pie, in fact it is the general custom to
enter cabins whether there is anyone
at home or not and take supplies as
may be necessary. A warrant has
been sworn out but as the case does
not seem to be one of theft the prose-
cutting attorney has suggested that
Constable Montgomery Of kooskia hold
the same until the parties arrive and
if they refuse to pay for the supplies
then to place them under arrest. We
believe the Kooskia Constable holds
similar views to those of Attorney
Griffith regarding the affair.

Fine Shoats.

d. w. Marshall delivered to Edd
Knorr Monday thirty-one head Of the
finest shoats that have come to
Grangeville this fall. They were
a nicely rounded bunch and while but
eleven months old averaged 216
pounds each, theiprice paid being the
top of the market for that day. Mr..
Marshall says there is no question as
to the raising Of pork being one Of the
big paying industries Of the Prairie
and states that while he usually feeds
barley and wheat, mixed this year, on
account of the present high price Of
barley, he has fattened his porkers on
wheat He has close to seventy-five
on feed at the present time and will
turn off another lot in several months

prNcTNG ANTI-SALOON
RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were
,.ssed by the delegates to the
Pa aaal Option Convention held in
n0sngeyille under the directions
- Rev. Herwig of the state anti
saloon league:
whereas we believe
That the saloon from its
uory nature is a violator Of law,
totI all laws intended for it's reg
nlat;on and all laws, and breeds
s;ee Of all kinds, and caters to
The depraved tastes OF men.
and that the saloon is a
uost undesirable influence in
And that the existence of
tbe open saloon is an evil exam
nle and menace to our growing
laws and girls, and a counter
;nfluence to our schools, churches
and other moral agencies of our
county. :,
That there is not one good
oroument or reason for the exist
ence of the open saloon.
G. That the present conditions
Of our county under the local op-
tion law are vastly better than
ever were conditions under the
existence Of the open saloon.
7. That the county as whole
is more prosperous financially
and that less liquor is sold and
and drank and less money sent
out of the county for liquor than
with the open saloon; and that
conditions are better morally and
socially.
s. That the liquor business
has no standing under the pres
emit conditions but is an outlaw,
and its detrimental influence pol
itically and socially has been
broken, and will continue to de-
crease under the continuance of
those conditions.
9. That the change from the
open saloon to the present con-
ditions has not been detrimental
to business as was claimed by
some, but has had a contrary re-
suit.
10. That many addicted to the
use of liquor have been enabled
to save their money and assisted
to reform, in all parts of the
county.
II. That the absence of the sa-
loon as a loafing place has les
sened disorder and abolished a
center of pernacious Influence.
II. That the wettest dry
town is better than the dryest
wet" town.
10. That it is impossible to reg
ulate the saloon, and that years
Of experience have proved this.
IA. That only regulation of the
saloon possible is to put it entire
~ Uul VI UuSlutbS.
Is. That the local option law
can be enforced and that we are
determined to enforce it and are
letter prepared to enforce it thai
ever before.
Is. That time is required to eft
feet any reform; and that the law
now in force is the beginning ot
a needed reform, and only re-
quires stricter enforcement to
make it universally satisfactory.
II. That to repeal the law
would be step backward.
Now be it Resolved, That we
are in favor of the continuance
OF the local option law in force
and its strict enforcement; and
OF requiring the public officials
to do their duty in this regard.
That we are opposed to any
backward step in fighting the II
quor traffic, and opposed to re
storing the saloon to its evil in
fluence in politics and society.
That we pledge ourselves to dc
all in our power to uphold the
local option law and continue i
IN force in our county.

AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION

The trouble in Idaho county is
that years Of allied defiance on
the part of the saloons has so
tamiliarized the public mind with
the transgression of law that
some of the officials find it easy
Inst to ignore, and at length to
ally themselves with, and support
the saloons and the dives.
Having defied the law for
years by the sale of intoxicants
to habitual drinkers and to min
ors; and by the harboring Of
women; by the running of gamb-
ling joints; and by selling on
Sunday, the drink sellers natur-
ally believed they could safely
defy the local option law, when
Idaho county voted that it should
apply here. So has been the his
tory of every law. Laws were
passed to control the animalism
and the appetites of man, and
as it has become necessary from
time to time, prohibitions have
been placed to restrain the exer-
else of these appetites.
A decade or so ago the law
against stock stealing was poor.
y enforced, and the t hievery OF
stock was common. But the
public mind did not surrender tc
such law breakers, and to-day al
though still violated, the law is
respected and generally enforced
There was time when the" gun
man" in this country was Law
unto himself. That time has pass
ed. The public conscience has
been sharply awakened agains
such violations and the law is en-
forceable.
The time is soon coming whel
the boot-legger will be consider
ed by the public and the offici
ais as the same low class Grimm
al as the gun man, and hors'
thief. The enforcement of thl
law is the next step in civil
rig hteousness just as the enforce
ment of any law is the next stel
after its enactment.
The laws against robbery, AM
rape, and murder are only goot
if enforced, and these laws ar
constantly violated. Yet til
saloonkeeper dare. not say tina
because of violations Of thes
] laws, the operation of them upo1
society should not be invoked.
Voters, it takes some time ct
fectually to control the hors
thieves and with about elgh
months Of the operation OF tn
Search and Seizure law, afte
years and years of open suffer
ance of the dram shop in thi
state, it is not to be wondered
that these conspirators for tn
violation of law, have piled thel
Legitimate trade. However tn
time is soon coming when the en-
forcement of this law will be a
much respected, and as readil..
enforced by our public official
as any other law.
