Joseph People Are All Right.

Gideon Unsiker, who formerly
resided up near Westlake for a
number of years, was in town
last week from his present home
over on Snake river and gave out
some of the details of the acci-
dental death of Mrs. McMulkey
who was killed over there recent
ly. 1t seems that the deceased
had gone into that country last
year with her husband shortly
after their marriage and settled
on a stock ranch. While helping
her husband catch a horse in the
corral recently pole was knock
ed off the corral and hit the
young woman on the back of her
head, killing her almost instant
ly. Their home is in a rough
part of the country and it was
necessary to transport the body
for a number of miles by means
of an Indian travois until road
was reached up on Joseph plains.
The remains were then hauled
by wagon to White Bird and
then on to Grangeville, where
they were prepared by the under
taker and shipped to Oregon for
burial. The people all along the
line helped the heart-broken hus-
band in his sad work in every
way in their power and besides
donating their services and as
sistance the residents of the
Joseph section raised $3.50 within
a short time which they gave to
the husband to send his bride
back home to be buried. The
milk of human kindness in the
breasts of the Joseph citizens is
certainly not turned to cheese
nor even curdled and their kind
and loving works will be remem-
bered by at least one man until
the end of time.

Farmers Pick Lemons.

There are a large number Of

The plant of the company is To-
Gated at Plano, ILL.,, while the
business of the company is con-
Quoted from Portland, Maine,
where the annual meetings are
held. The company has been
doing business for about six
years, but has paid no dividends.
Farmers do not seem to have
much to do with the management
of the concern or know much
about it and many have begun to
think that they have been hand
ed nicely done-up package of
stock. k.-LaPorte Progress Re-
view.
We understand an agent of
this company was in Cottonwood
a few weeks since trying to sell
stock to our farmers and painted
a glowing picture about their
being able to purchase binders
for less than the local dealers
can buy them for, besides COM
ing in for their share of the
dividends each year. We do not
know if he disposed of any stock
here or not but it might be well
to remember that talk is cheap
but it takes money to make the

Were Record Sheep.

John Baer, local buyer for
Stanton & Co. of Spokane, ship
ped out two sheared eve sheep
to his firm Tuesday morning that
were record animals of their kind
for this territory. The sheep
were purchased of B. Tackle, liv-
ing just south of town, and
weighed 200 pounds each. They
brought A cents a pound on foot
and Mr.. Tacke realized SIG from
their sale. AS sheared ewes u.s.
ually weigh about 100 pounds it
can be seen that these were rec
ord breakers, both in weight and
quality.
Mr.. Baer shipped three cars of
hogs from this point to Spokane
the same day, for which he paid
SITS a hundred for the top stuff.
He is making another shipment
of six cars from this point this
morning, making nine carloads
for the week. Cottonwood is
certainly maintaining her repu-
tation of being the greatest hog
shipping station west of the
Rockies.

SENATOR BORAH

Will Speak Here on July 5th
if Congress Adjourns in
Time--Other Arrangements
Progressing Nicely.

Plans for Cottonwood's big
celebration of the Fourth are
now we'll under way and all in
dications point to a most success
full time unless the weather man
conspires against US. The mat
ter of securing a special train to
run from Lewiston to Cottonwood
on the morning of the Fourth
and return on the evening of the
fifth has been definitely settled
and the necessary deposit will be
put up some time next month.
Senator Borah has agreed to be
here on the fifth to deliver an
address if congress adjourns in
time, which we all hope for. The
matter of securing an air ship to
make flights here during the
celebration is still hanging fire
and will not be definitely decided
for some time to come.
The Lewiston base ball team
has been secured to play here
during the celebration and will
compete with some outside team
for good purse on the fourth
and the winning team will play
Cottonwood for similar purse
on the fifth.
The music committee has de-
cided to employ two bands to
furnish music for the celebration
and negotiations are now under
way for securing the second band
from some neighboring town.
While the program of sports is
still far from complete it has
been decided to place good
prize for bucking contest and
arrangements are now under

will be a liberal one it will not be
easily won and the man who Sc
cures it will have to work for his
money.
A great many other interest

for the two days. celebration and
