Annual Banquet and Ball to be
Held February %.
ARE NOW IN NEW QUARTERS
Central Station is Opposite Pfeufer
Buiiding-Now Occupied.

On Friday evening of last week the
members Of the fire company held a
regular meeting at the Commercial
Club rooms and after disposing of the
regular business took up the matter
of arranging for the annual ball,
which is to be given on the evening
of February %. 1t has been decided
to secure the Schmadeka hall for the
occasion, thus assuring ample room
for the large crowd which is sure to
attend. The banquet will be served
in the lodge room of the Odd Fellows
and will be prepared by the ladies of
the city. An excellent feast is as
sured as some of those who excel in
the culinary art have signifed their
willingness to contribute most lib
orally. The annual banquet and ball
Of the firemen has proven most
popular in the past and no doubt this
year will be no exception. In fact
every citizen of Grangeville should
buy tickets whether he goes or not
as the money thus secured is used in
procuring new fire fighting equipment,
something the city is badly i'll need of.
On Monday the distribution of the
fire apparatus from the present sta
tion to the new one recently desig-
mated occurred. One hose cart was
taken to the station on West Main
street, near the school house and the
remainder Of the equipment was
placed in the central station, opposite
the Pfeufer store. Here will be kept
the hose cart, the hook and ladder
and the chemical engine. The build
ing has been nicely arranged and
sleeping quarters will be provided for
a limited number of men SO that
when an alarm is turned in there will
be some ready for quick action.

Golf Bridge Completed.

James Leach, who has had charge
of the construction of the steel bridge
across the Salmon river, near Gof,
passed through the city yesterday
to Billings. Montana, his headquarters.
The bridge is now completed and it is
said is fine piece of engineering. 1t
required a 250-foot span to cross the
stream and with the approaches,
which are so feet, it makes quite a
bridge. 1t is an all steel structure
and was built without any false work
being necessary.
The Security Bridge Co., who had
the contract, has the honor of com
pleting the connecting link between
north and south Idaho. While the
bridge has not as yet been accepted
by the state or county it has been
thrown open to travel.

A Great Revival.

The crowds are coming from every
direction to hear Evangelist Taylor,
at the Baptist church. He preached
three times Sunday last, to crowded
houses, and many turned away Sun
day night that could not get in.
Some came thirty miles, and are
stopping over to get the good Of these
meetings, while people of the town, or
some of them at least, have never
come near the church, and what ex-
cnse will they have when they come
before the judgment seat of Christ.
This is time that will never come to
Grangeville again. 1t will be more
profitable to this town than all the
shows and saloons that you can pack
into it. Parents, how are you bring
ing up your children? You will be
held responsible for them, as well as
the men and women that are going to
hell all about you.
The subjects for next Sunday will
be as follows: II a. M, the home of
the redeemed soul, or the glorified
and purified state Of man. 3 p. m,
an uncompromised gospel, in which
the Evangelist will speak on the false
teachings of the day, such as Nor
monism, Dowieism, Spiritualism,
Christian Science so called, and all
other devilisms. 7:30, the second
coming OF our Lord, from Bible
standpoint. All three of these SUBJ
jects are what should interest the
Christians of the world at this time.
Meetings will continue until further
notice. Come early if you want a
seat or get in.

Six O'clock Dinner and a Social
Evening.
$50 ENJOY CHOICE v|ANDS
Pythian Sisters do Themselves
Pfoud-Exccllent Program.

One Of the most delightful affairs
in fraternal circles was the banquet
given by the Knights Of Pythias on
Tuesday evening of this week at
which time the Knights and their
friends to the number of $50 sat
down to a banquet, the like of which
has not occurred for many day and
feast that was fit for the most par
ticular epicure. The dinner was pre-
pared by the Pythian Sisters and were
we to enumerate the good things to eat
and the choice viands prepared it
would bring smiles to the chronic
dyspeptic and the envy Of the most
noted French chefs. Honestly, that
dinner was just about the best ever
and had the coffee, doughnut and
pickle affair quite often enormously
called a "banquet" excelled a thous-
and per cent. All day Tuesday the
Pythian Sisters labored in the culinary
department of the lodge room prepar-
ing the feast; twenty turkeys lost
their lives, several bushels of cran-
berries were used in the sauce, there
were salads galore, cake that was fine,
salted almonds, olives, pickles and a
half dozen other tempting dishes were
served before the black coffee and
after dinner mints.
The banquet room was tastefully
decorated in the lodge colors and on
the tables were cut flowers from the
Lewiston greenhouse. After being
well fed the guests adjourned to the
lodge room where the following eX.
cellent program was given:
Piano duet, Mesdames Glanville
and Slusser.
Vocal solo, Mrs. J. |. Overman.
Recitation, Miss Laura Lanning
ham.
Duet. Mrs. Glanville and Buelaf
Casady.
Reading, Mrs. Frances James.

Following the program severa
hours on dancing were enjoyed, tn

Shortly after the midnight hour tn
guests departed for their homes, vol
ing the Knights and the Pythia
Sisters true entertainers and frml
convinced that if this affair was ir
dicative of the teachings of the orde

hundred years Of age. The funeral
was held from the Indian church on
Saturday.
Mrs. G. H. Stevens of Grangeville
is spending the time here with her
parents Mr.. and Mrs. l.. F. Horning,
while her husband is in attendance
at the special session of the legisla-
ture in Boise. Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens
lost their three months old baby girl
very suddenly last week, and have
the sympathy of their friends here in
their sorrow.
Guy Pearson and wife had quite al
experience last Sunday, which might

grade they made the attempt to cross
Lawyers creek, which is very high al
present and is always swift. AS they
drove into the stream the current was
so strong the buggy was overturned
and the occupants thrown out; had il
not been for a man on horseback, who
went in and rescued Mrs. Pearson, il
is feared her life would have been los
as it was with difficulty she was saved
and she was unconscious when taker
out and for some little time after
Mr.. Pearson succeeded in extricatins
himself and horses, but the buggy
was a total wreck.

Australia Wants the Idaho.

81. w. Carson, of Garfield, Wash,
recently received letter Of inquiry
from rancher in far-away Australia
regarding the work of the Idaho
National harvester, with which Mr..
Carson harvested his crop the past
season, says the Garfield Enterprise.
Mr.. Carson's success with the Idaho
and the big saving it afforded him the
past harvest was the subject of an
article in the Spokane Spokesman
Review which caught the eye Of the
farmer in the distant land and he
immediately was interested.
Grain farmers on all parts Of the
Globe are eager to learn about the
Idaho and as quick as the factory can
supply the demand for them the Idaho
will be found in use in every country
where grain is grown.
Without doubt the Idaho Nation
al Harvester Co., is destined to be a
great industry power in the manu-
featuring world-a credit to the state
a blessing to those who increase theil
earnings through its product. Home
investors should support this enter
prise literally. To share in its sue
cess means not only personal gain
but serving the interest of every grair
farmer and the promotion of thu
manufacturing interests Of the state.

Moneyed Candidates.

A strong combination has been
made for control Of the republican
organization in the state. 1t is gener-
ally agreed in the inner circles that
James H. Brady and John Nj. Haines
have effected working agreement
with Brady slated for congress and
Haines for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion, while Frank r. Gooding is to
be placated by promise of the senator
ship to succeed Hepburn. Gooding
has been bitter against Brady since
the latter ran away from Pocatello
with the Taft special train, leaving
Gooding yin the lurch. Gooding be-
lieves that Brady intentionally misled
him as to the time of the trains de-
parture. But the Brady Haines COM
bine needs Gooding so he is to be
promised the senatorship.
These men are all wealthy and
Chairman Heitman's first requisite
Of a candidate ability and willingness
to finance a campaign, SO the Brady
Misunderstanding combine enters the
field with his sanction. 1t is under
stood it will receive Senator Borah' s
o. X. also. Just what the rank and
file Of the party will have to say. of
this parcelling out of the offices Of
high rank remains to be seen. 1t is
certain that there is large section of
the republican party of Ada county
that will kick over the traces if the
combine is successful at the primaries
This element Of the party will doubt
less rally to the support Of John T.
Morrison for governor in an effort to
break boss rule.

w. A. Stevens, Pioneer Mining
Engineer, Takes Life.
WAS SWEENY'S MAN IN HUMP
Had Charge OF Sweeny Interests
in Hump at One Time.

Word reached here from Oakland,
Cal, Monday Of the suicide of w. a.
Stevens, for many years one of the
most prominent and widely known
mining men in the Inland Empire.
He was a pioneer Of the Occur d
Alenes and later was general manager
for Charles Sweeny in his extensive

his family resided in Spokane.
From Buffalo Hump he went to
Nevada and California, where he got
control Of valuable properties. About
year ago, in conjunction with Dan
Greenwalt, he created a boom in the
Steamboat mountain camp in south
ern British Columbia.
His brothers, Robert and Frank,
who were widely known in the Coeul
d Alenes, both met tragic deaths
some years ago.
While his wife was preparing the
evening meal three feet away from
him Stevens suddenly drew a revolver
from his pocket and shot himself
through the right temple, dying al
most instantly.
Mrs. Stevens, who was busy at th,
range, had her first intimation of tn,
tragedy from the report of the shot
followed by the fall of her husband
body almost at her feet. Terrified
she ran screaming from the room
calling upon the children to hurry Il
the neighbors for help.
According to Mrs. Stevens, who il
prostrate with grief at the home o
friends, her husband had brooded fo
months over the fact that he was un
able to finance a mine which h.
claimed would develop into one of tn
best properties in California. Thougl
he had several times told her b
would end it all if he could not carr
his plans through, she declared sh
paid little heed to the threats, think
ing he was merely melancholy.
In addition to his widow, Stever
leaves three SONS and two daughters.

fall last Thursday and escaped with
few bruises from what might have
resulted in number of broken bones.
