School Notes.

One month of school has now
gone by and teachers and pupils
are pretty we'll acquainted with
the work to be done during the
year and we see no reason why
the second month of work should
not be better than the first, not
withstanding the fact that both
teachers and pupils are we'll
pleased with the showing already
made. So for as our room is
concerned, we feel sure that it
will make good, for we are over
coming the disadvantage under
which we began, namely: prema-
ture advancement. We feel that
we will be better able to advance
these grades now than during
the first month. Friday was the
last day Of the month and we, as
is our custom, gave written reci-
iations for the work of that day
in order that we might be able
to determine whether the stu
dent body, as a whole, under
stood the work passed over, and
we have passed on part of the
papers and find them in excellent
condition, showing tbat our eff
forts have not been in vain. The
review work of the examination
for the month covered pretty
we'll all of the work passed over
during the first month.
Our room is now pretty well
equipped for work in the way of
blackboards, etc., and we mean
to push our work to the greatest
possible advantage. If parents
who have pupils in our room will
only send them regularly we will
have a better chance to help them
than we'will for them to be in a
day and out a day. We also take
this opportunity to ask the par
ents tose to it that the children
study at night, for there is nc
hope for the pupil in school who
never sees a book at night,
There is too much noise in the
.Irecitation room for pupils tc

THE SUN.

The sun gives light through the day. 1t
gives light to the plants. If it were not
for the sun plants would not grow, but
would withcr up and die. If it were not
for the light Of the sun insects would eat
the plant leaves and cause them to die, for
there are some insects and worms that hide
in the ground and in holes. The lower
animals depend upon the light of the sun,
or some OF them do, to see | oN to get their
food and water. They also depend on its
light TO see how to dig their holes or store
their winter food. Man can not work
without light and if it were not for the sun
there would be no light. Some people
will saw "lf the it were not for the sun
the moon and stars would light up the
world" but you must remember that theiI
light is only reflection from the sun.
The sun in giving heat first warns the
earth and the earth warns everything else
The sun takes water out OF the soil an6
regulates the moisture so that plants may
grow and heats the earth, If it did mo-
the earth would be frozen all the time anc
everybody knows that plants could not
grow in ice.
The sun evaporates water and makes i
into fog and carries it through the air un
til it chills and falls in drops called rain
The sun heats the air and causes it to lis,
and the cooler air moves in causing winds

The writer returned Tuesday
evening from a business trip to
Spokane and found things look
ing pretty quiet at all points
along the line. In fact Cotton
wood has about the livliest ap-
pearaece and as bright prospects
as any town of its size in the In
land Empire and is a pretty good
place to tie to. Travelling men
and transient visitors all give
this place a good name abroad
and say it is one of the best
business points in this part of
the state, and they are in posi-
ton to known pretty we'll what
they are talking about.
From present indications there
will be several residences erected
in Cottonwood during the coming
summer besides the business
blocks, mention of which was
made in a recent issue of this
paper. John Hoene intends put
ting up nice cottage just north
of his residence near the public
school this spring and will rent
the same. Ray Minis also intends
erecting neat house for himeelf
and family during the summer
and Felix Martzen may likewise
buy and build here, as he intends
making Cottonwood his future
home. There will perhaps be
other buildings 60 up during the
year and indications point to a 8
very busy year for Cottonwood
in all lines daring 1912.

This Flour Mill Does Not
Bleach.

1t is quite a treat to go through
the plant of the Lewiston Milling
Co., and after one has beer
through and the mechanism ex.
planned it is easy to understand
why this company has met with
such success in marketing their
products.
In the first place all the wheat
in the Lewiston and Asotin cnun-
try is sampled and tested for
strength, expansion and color.
the wheat showing up best is
then bought regardless of price.
Before the wheat is milled it
goes through a process of clean
ing that leaves it without a speck
of dust. 1t is first thoroughly
washed in a revolving securing
machine, clean water being fore
ed through the machine all the
time. After drying it is again
secured and polished.
The final cleaning process is
after grinding, when the flour is
sifted through several meshes of
the finest silk cloth.
The flour made here is not
bleached. In talking with one
of the officers, he said: 1--WE
pick our wheat and make a good
flour on which we have a good
trade and do not believe in using
inferior wheat and by bleaching
leading the public to believe they
are getting good -four at a re-
duced price"
Princess -four made by this
company has the reputation of
being the finest flour made in
the Northwest.

Check Was RAISED" 4"

Charged with attempting to
pass a raised" check, two young
men-Archie Murray, aged twen-
ty-four, and Wallie Allen, aged
twenty-two-are now in the
county Jail, where they were
placed last night by City Officer
Monroe after the defendants had
failed to give bond in the sum of
$1,000 each for appearance for
preliminary examination n ext
Wednesday. The specific charge
against Murray and Allen is that
they tampered with a check, is
sued in the sum Of $3.05 by John
H. Chace, farmer, in favor of
Murray, so that the check called
for $3O.O5, and that they then
endeavored to pass the same at
the r. c. Beach & Co. store,
after negotiating for the pur-
chase of some goods.
The young men reached Lewis
ton on the morning train yester-
day from Grangeville and last
evening went into the Beach
store, where, after pricing some
articles, the check was rendered.
Manager Kincaid, of the store,
noticed the irregularity, for the
alteration was cruGely done, and
he stepped into an adjoining
store and telephoned to police
headquarters, with the result
that Officer Monroe was at the
doorway of the store when the
young men appeared. Mr.. Kin
caid, in going to summon the
police, took the check with him,
explaining to the prospective
purchasers that sufficient change
was not available in the store to
cash the check.
At the police station, Murray
and Allen told the same story
that they had been employed by
Mr.. Chace, a farmer near Grange
vile; that in paying them for
their hire, he issued a check in
the sum of $30.05, this covering
the wages of both men. Officer
Monroe later talked over the
telephone with Mr.. Chace and
found that the check had been
issued in the sum of $3.O5.
Murray and Allen are half
brothers and relatives reside at
Cottonwood. Murray until De-
cember had been residing in the
Oregon country and had gone to
the Cottonwood section to visit
his mother.
Under the Idaho law to raise"
a check is equivalent to forgery
and is classed as a felony, thus
subjecting the guilty party to
prison sentence. = Fridays Trib-
une.

Ed. Blake and August Schroe-

from Keuterville, the former
being on his was home from at
tending court at Grangeville.
Roy Mead, who assaulted and
beat up Albert Nordick with a
revolver on Salmon river some
months ago, entered a plea of
guilty at the district court in
Grangeville Wednesday and was
sentenced by Judge Steele to
pay a fine of 500 and costs,
amounting in all to about $4OO.
Earl Steen, of Sites, tried on a
charge of horse stealing, was
found not guilty.
The funeral of Joseph Schober,
who died last Friday, was held
Monday morning from the Cath
olic church and was very largely
attended. All of the business
houses closed out of respect to
the deceased and the large con-
course of people that followed
the remains to their last resting
place bore silent witness to the
esteem in which he was held by
all who knew him. nr

DEVELOP POWER
ON SALMON
Portland Men File Rights and
will Develop the Horseshoe
Bend Power Site at Cost
of Three Million Dollars.

A Nezperce dispatch to Thurs
days Tribune says: A. Welch
and R. B. Montague, of Portland,
operating under the name of the
Lewis County Power company,
filed power site locations on the
Salmon river today covering the
big project at Horseshoe Bend
where locations were made sew
eral years ago by the Lewiston
& Southeastern Electric Railway
company. Engineers and elec-
trlcal experts representing
Messrs. Welch and Montague
have been on the Salmon river
making surveys and investiga-
tions and the filings were offered
as soon as the surveys and nee
essary papers were completed.
Announcement is made here
that the development of the
power project will be commenced
this spring and at least 400
electric horse power will be de-
veloped at the beginning. The
proposition is pronounced by en-
gineers to be the biggest power
project in the northwest today
and when fully developed will
provide 125,000 horse power and
represent an investment of ap-
proximately $3,000,0OO. Th e
name of the site, Horseshoe
Bend, is taken from the course
of the Salmon river at this point
and the driving of a 1000 foot
tunnel will secure a drop of over
200 feet and dump the overflow
in the river at a point nearly
seven miles from the point of in
take.
The river at the point of intake
is only 200 feet wide and the
plans provide for the construc-
ton of dam 10 feet above the
low water mark. Two tunnels
through the mountain will be
driven to develop the maximum
power but at the beginning but
one tunnel will be used and this
of sufficient size to develop the
40, 900 horse power to be used by
the company in it's initial opera
tions.
Mr.. Welch and associates be-
came interested in the prairie
country about a year ago at
which time the Nezperce Power
& Light company with power
site on Lolo creek was acquired
from z. A. johnson. Since that
time transmission lines to serve
Vollmer, lilo and Kamiah have
been constructed but the plans
for utilizing the power to be
generated by the Salmon river
project have not been given out.

Cattle Making Good.

M. L. Hastings, who about a
year ago purchased a herd of
pure bred Hereford cattle for
$4,000, reports that he has sold
$4,000 worth of breeding stock
from this herd, and still has as
many cattle left as he had to be-
gin with, which are worth as
much as the original herd. He
has made sales of 6 calves less
than 9 months old, recently at
prices ranging from $100 to $15O.

Early Saturday Morning Blaze
Destroys Two Blocks in the
Center of Town-Loss $l35-
600 with Light Insurance.

Our neighboring city O.
Grangeville was swept early Sat
urday morning by the most dis.
asterous fire in it's history ano
property to the value of more
than $135, 900 was destroyed by
the flames, the glow of which
could be seen at this place be-
fore the fire was brought under
control. Most of the property
burned was located in a ten pei
cent insurance district and car.
ried but little insurance, the to-
tai insurance amounting to less
than a third of the value of the
property. In a detailed account
of the fire a dispatch to the Sun
day Tribune says:
The fire was discovered shortly
after 4:2O O'Clock by Night
Watchman Charles Wright and
at that time three frame build
ings occupied by two small res
taurants and the Day barber
shop were in flames. A fierce
wind was blowing and the ab-
sence of water pressure rendered
the efforts of the fire department
practically useless. The atten-
tion of the department was final
ly directed toward establishing a
fire line and protecting the build
ings outside the fire zone but the
flames were not brought under
control until two blocks in the
center of the business district
were gutted and fifty-three busi-
ness men and property owners
made victims of the fire demon.
All of the buildings burned,
with one exception, were of wood
construction and the flames lick
ed up the frail structures like
tinder. By six o'clock the fire
was practically under control,
but during the hour and half
preceding the flames had wiped
out the entire possessions of
many citizens who are without
insurance to return partial reim-
bursement for their losses. The
heaviest unprotected loss was
sustained by Fem Batty who
conducted the Grangeville hotel
and bar and owned three busi-
ness houses. Mr.. Batty's loss
will amount to at least $4,000.
The loss of Robert Dunlap, jew
eler, will amount to $4,000 with
but So, 900 insurance, and the J.
]. Pulse drug store loss will a.
mount to $40, 900 with but So, 500
insurance. The plant of the
Grangeville Free Press was en-
tirely destroyed entailing a loss
of $1,000 with $4,000 insurance
while Schueller Bros, general
merchandisers, sustained a $780,
900 loss with but $11, 900 insur-
ance.
Many of the losses were small
in amounts but represented the
total possessions of the victims
and in most cases no insurance
was carried by these persons.
The Grangeville people, however,
are undaunted by the awful con-
flagration and in number of in
stances business was resumed in
new locations during the fore
noon hours and the most opti-
mistic sentiment prevails. The
construction of new buildings to
occupy the burned district is al
ready being discussed by the
property owners who will cover
the burned district with modern
business blocks.
& The rapidity with which the
fire spread can be best under
stood from the fact that the
flames had spread over and con-
eumed two blocks of the business
district in but little over an hour
md a half. The efforts to save
merchandise and belongings
we're fruitless as the early morn
