New Block Going Up.

John Funke started work Tues
day with a force of men on the
new saloon building which he
will erect on the corner of Main
and Broadway, which property
he purchased last fall. The new
building will be a frame struct-
ure 18x40 feet in size, for the
saloon and will have an addition
16x28 feet in size at the rear
which will be used as a barber
shop by L. Canham. The build
ing will be all under the same
roof and will improve the appear
ance of that corner materially
when completed. 1t is possible
Mr.. Funke may move the build
ing out later and erect a brick
block in its place, but this is a
matter for the future to decide.

Idaho Weather The Best.

The eastern states were in the
throes Of another severe colo
spell last week and the weather
was more severe in many places
than it has been for years. In
northern New York the cold reg
istered from forty to fifty de-
grees below zero, Is below at
Columbus, Ohio, 10 below at
Toledo, ten inches of snow in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, four
inches of snow in Georgia and
Alabama and frosts recorded at
Miami, Florida, where they are
but rarely experienced. Such
severe weather as the above
does not seem possible to the
citizens of Idaho who have been
enjoying the balmiest kind of
spring weather for the past sew
eral weeks. The weather all
over the Pacific states has been
exceedingly mild for several
weeks and is much more mild
than is usual at this time of the
year. In fact, it closely resem-
bles regular spring and summer
weather and leads one to believe
that spring is here to stay. Who
wouldn't live in Idaho when, by
so doing they can escape all the
storms and severe cold of the
east.

Joseph Schober Passes Away.

Just before going to press with
the final pages of the paper we
learn that Joseph Schober, who
has been i'll at his home here for
the past few weeks, has passed
away, he having departed this
life shortly after IL o'clock.
The deceased had been in poor
health for some months but his
ailment only assumed a serious
aspect few weeks ago. He
then went to Juliaetta afidv lew
iston for treatment but could get
no relief and came home again.
Death was due to cirrhosis of the
liver, and while he suffered no
great pain he was not able to
take much nourishment and
gradually wasted away until
death came to his relief.
The deceased was nearly sixty
years of age and had been a res
ident of Cottonwood for about
fifteen years, having come here
from Moscow. He was an hon.
est, upright citizen, a kind and
loving husband and father and a
man whose loyalty of friendship
could not be questioned. By his
death his family lost a loving
proyider and the community a
valued citized.
He left a widow and six child
rem, besides many relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. All
of the family and many relatives
were present at the death bed.
The e funeral arrangements
have not yet been made.
The Chronicle joins with the
many friends of the deceased in
rendering sincere sympathy to
the sorrowing family in their
affiiction.

John B. Aichlmayr was 4
Charleston visitor the first of the

The sale held at the Puyear
farm east of town on Monday
was quite well attended and ev-I
erything sold brought good fig
ures. The sale totaled about
$4,000, one farmer from the Nez-
perce side investing some $3.50
in hogs. We understand Mr.. /
Puyear contemplates moving to
Oregon soon.

Will Open Garage Here.

0. D. Simmons, of Ilo, was in
the city Saturday evening and
completed arrangements at that
time for opening an automobile
garage at this place about March
1st. He has rented the south
room Of the Creelman building
on Broadway, formerly occupied
by the Foster Harness Co., and
will be here about the first of the
month to open up for business.
He will handle three lines of
cars, the we'll known Cadillac 40
h. p., with electric self starter
and electric lights, the new four
door E. M. F. 30 and the Flan-
ders 20. Besides a car or two
for rent, he will have the two
new cars on the floor in April
and will guarantee all cars sold
for a period of a year and assures
right prices on all cars sold. We
are glad to see Mr.. Simmons
open a garage here and feel sure
he will meet with a good trade
from the start. With an up to
date garage and several fine cars
owned by private parti e s
Cottonwood will soon begin to as
sumo metropolitan airs.

Will MAKE Two
MILLION BRICK
Spokane Man has Taken Con-
tract to Put Out a Big Run
and has Wood Now Cut for
Burning Same.

Charles l. Vance, the Spokane
brick man who came here late
last fall to take charge of the
yard at the monastery west OF
town, was a pleasant caller late
last week and informed us that
he is rapidly getting things into
shape for a good run as soon as
good weather arrives. Mr.. Vance
has had a force of men at work
all winter cutting wood to be
used in burning brick and now
has practically a thousand cords
cut and piled up in the woods
west of the monastery.
Speaking of his trade, Mr..
Vance stated he had been in the
brick manufacturing business
for the past fifteen years and
had operated some big yards in
the east. Later he was at Butte,
Montana, for two years and then
at Spokane for three years. He
says he has not the slightest
doubt but that he can make ex-
cellent brick here and says the
clay deposit here is one of the
best he has ever seen. So great
is his faith in his ability to turn
out first class product that he
has contracted to manufacture
two million brick at the yard this
year and is putting his time and
money into the venture from the
start. AS soon as dry weather
arrives work will be commenced
at the yard and several changes
will be made before the machine
is started. The same mill will
be used as formerly but the clay
will all be tempered before en-
tering the mill so as to insure
good brick from the start.
1t will certainly be good news
to residents of this section to
learn that first class brick can be
made here at a reasonable cost
and will no doubt result in the
use of brick in future in all busi-
ness buildings to be erected
here.

HAVE TAX COM
MISSION ANYHOW
Not to be Blocked by Legisla-
ture, Governor Hawley Will
Form Commission of State
Land Board.

Idaho took a long step in the
direction of a tax commission
last night, when the state board
of equalization at an adjourned
meeting in the governors office,
virtually decided to divide the
state into three districts, one in
cluding Idaho county and all
counties north, and the remain
ing two to be formed equally
from the territory lying south OF
the Idaho county line. This ac-
tion is born, of an effort to facili-
tate the work of the state board
in securing the equalization of
taxes.
1t is also probable, though not
at all definite as yet, that the
board will select a tax commits
sioner from each of these three
districts, these commissioners to
prepare reports from actual val
ues of property in their respect
i've districts for the consideration
of the board at it's regular meet
ing in August.
The board has not yet taken
formal action in the selection of
commissioners, but in case such
appointments are decided upon,
the names of the appointees will
be announced as soon as made.
Discussion of the proposed plan
by the members of the board at
last nights meeting led to the
considerations, practically, that
the newly chosen tax commits
sioners should begin the work as
signed to them on March Is in
the three districts, and that their
salary during the time actually
engaged in service for the state
should be fixed at SIS per day and
necessary expenses.
In speaking of available men
who might be considered as tim
ber for the proposed commission
ership in the various districts,
Governor Hawley said:
"Politics will not be allowed to
warp the boards judgment in the
matter. Neither will position,
occupation or any other influence
than fitness and efficiency for the
office be considered. If the board
makes these appointments there
will be no favoritism; we want
men who will not be influenced
under any condition or by any
interest; men who are capable
and willing to do the work as the
board assigns it to them. Boise

Valentine Ball A Big Success

The Valentine ball given We'd
nesday evening by the members
of the G. G. E. club (girls, get
engaged club?) was one of the
most successful social affairs of
the season and was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present. The hall
was tastefully decorated for the
occasion with hearts and carna-
tions and cozy corners were ar
ranged for the portly gentlemen
who felt more inclined to sit and
swap badinage with the fair sex
than to cast themselves into the
mystic mazes of the three-step
and Tuxedo. Sweet strains of
music were dispensed by the
orchestra, the ladies attended to
all of the heavy work of the ball,
and the gentlemen were made to
feel as if they were some magic
creatures from a distant land,
rather than common mortals who
had frequently paid the freight
in days gone by and been thrown
down by naughty bellies because
of some fancied slip in the ar
rangement of their features.
The supper was the culmina-
tion of the culinary art and was
done ample justice to, as was
fully attested by various painful
visages about town the next day.
All in all, the dance was one
that will be long remembered be-
cause of its many enjoyable feat
ures and the menfolks sincerely
hope it may be frequently re-
peated during the year.

Golf Bridge A Fine Structure.

County Commissioner w. M.
Schiller is attending a special
meeting of the board of county
commissioners at Grangeville
this week and among other mat
tiers to be considered the men,
bers of the board will go to Golf
to inspect the new Salmon river
bridge which was completed re-
Gently. 1t has been stated by
people who have crossed this
bridge that it is a great and most
substantial structure, the main
span of which is 240 feet long
and all steel except the floor.
The appropriation of SIS, 200,
which was made by the 1911 ses-
sion of the state legislature for
the building of this bridge, was
certainly used to good advan-
tage, and our board of commits
sioners, who constituted the
bridge commission, are to be
commended for their efficient
management of public affairs.
We wonder if all state appropri-
ations were handled as carefully.

 New Home Occupies Highest Point
 High Ridge, the handsome new res idence of Jerome Alexandre, in Cole ties during the past few days, when 1t was formally opened by it's million aire owner with a large house party. Erected on the highest point of land in Connecticut that has as yet been
 selected as a building site, the house in making it one Of extreme com fort, became one of the most expen- sive that has been built in the state. The farm, of which the mansion is the central point, is called the High Ridge Farm and it is situated about two miles from the village of Norfolk, comprising 261 acres Of various kinds of land and including excellent fish ing and hunting preserves. The build. ing itself is prominent for miles around standing as it does at height. of 1882 feet above sea level. and is handsomely finished inside and out with the most modern equipment possible to obtain.
 MT. A1exandre said that in his opin- ion. farms here are more productive than elsewhere, if farmers would only follow statistics furnished by the Uni ted States Last year he cleared off fourteen acres and added it to tillable land,- and next year he intends to de- vote one entire hillside to the rais- ing of sheep, for, to quote him, t'in the future the sheep will be the bank book of the New England farmer" Among the many expensive and taste full attractions in the interior of the house is a large room which is en- tirely finished in California redwood; a bedroom called the bachelors bar racks, which will accommodate forty five men; and what is considered the largest fireplace in this section. 6 feet 2 inches in height and T feet inches wide situated in the large reception hall An idea of the beauty of the view obtainable from the grounds can be gleaned from the fact that 1t IS possible to look directly into three states and fifty-three mountain peaks can be counted to the north.
