NEWS ITEMS FROM RAPID RIVER
Much Rain There.-Sheepmen Wear

Being Set Out This Year.

There has been almost continuous
rainfall for several days past, which
causes the rivers to swell. 1t also
makes the grass on the hillsides to
grow fine.
The fruit trees on the river are in
full bloom and with background of
mountains in every shade of green pre-
sents most pleasing sight.
We regret to learn that Mr.. w. H.

doctor from .Whitebird attended him
and we hope for speedy recovery
Crops of grain look good and all pre-
dict another bumper crop this season.
The sheep owners say the sheep in
our section have never looked better

Ranchers on the rivers have been re-
ceiving shipments of all kinds of fruit
trees and the prospects are good for
Pollock Higgins and vicinity becoming
a very fine fruit-yielding country.
Mining is progressing in this district

To Build Home.

In a deal consummated yesterday by
the firm of Potvin & harrington, John
Wilks, of Grangeville, acquired the Or
chard tract holdingstof w. F. G. Thach-
er, of Portland. The land secured by
Mr.. Wilks comprises ten acres and is

is most desirable, being within one,
half block of the site chosen for the
erection of the new school building.
Mr.. Wilks will begin the erection of .
modern home in the fall, and stated
yesterday that between $4,000 and
$4,000 would be spent in its construc-
tion. He will remove his family to the
orchards with the completion Of the
home and devote his entire time to its
cultivation. The entire Is acres are
now in bearing, being planted to choice
winter apples.-Lewston Tribune.

Mineral Zone Continues Good.

Work has been resumed on the Min
eral Zone group of claims, owned by
Mrs. NJ A. Parr, and the stripping of
the vein has put considerable more OF
the ore shoot in sight.
The vein has been found and un-
covered some distance east OF the
workings where the ore was taken last
winter, and while it does not pan so
rich, it shows an ore body more than
8 feet wide that is of good milling
grade. The ore here is not so much
oxidized, but the vein is very strong.
To the west the vein is covered with
deep surface soil and considerable work
is necessary to uncover it. At the
present time the vein is uncovered for
more than 400 feet and in all cuts good
ore has been found.-Elk City News.

Governor Hawley Mined in Florence
At An Early Day.-Had the
Gold Fever.
Been N IDAHO FIFTY YEARS
States Noted Executive Real Pioneer
and Occupies Prominent Niche
in Development Of the State.

March, 1912, marks the 5Oth anniver-
sary OF the date Governor James H.
Hawely first set foot on Idaho soil and
places him among the oldest pioneers
in point of residence in this state. Dur
ing that time the chief executive of
this state has seen wonderful develop
ment in Idaho and marvellous changes
take place. The gold fever rampant
in 1862 in the west and particularly in
Idaho, had great deal to do with the
directing of the steps of Idaho's gov
ernor to the Gem state.
1t was in 1861 when Governor Haw-
ley was in California preparing to en-
ter college that he heard of the won
derful discoveries of gold in the Sal
mon river country, in Idaho. Hoping
to gain wealth in that district he left
California April 8, 1862, arriving in
Florence the latter part of the month
while the mining excitement was at its
height. Since then he has been iden-
tilted with mining interests, though his
efforts have by no means been confined
to one line of endeavor. He personally
went over the famous diggins in the
gold were taken out, and discovered
many rich strikes in that as well as
other sections. In the spring of 1869
he worked the placer claims on Cali
fornia Hill, and through the summer
was at Gold Hill mountain. He also
prospected in the Loon creek country,
returning in the fall to what is now
Quartzburg, where he prospected for
quartz. That autumn he discovered
what Is known as the Iowa mine, a
very valuable property. While work
ing one day he found very rich de-
posit, and gathering some of the rocks
into a -four sack, he took it to the
creek, where he washed the gold to the
value of $1,000.
The life story Of Governor Hawley
as public official and private citizen,
as the recognized leader of the bar in
this state, especially noted as lead
ing criminal lawyer, his service in pub
lie office and now as governor, are well
known. Governor Hawley was born in
Dubuque, Iowa, January II, 1S47. He
is 65 years of age, strong today, physi-
cally and mentally, apparently in the
best of health and looking hale and
hearty. On the 50th anniversary of his
arrival in Idaho he is able to look back
as chief executive of the state he has
adopted, to so years of phenomenal
development.

Has Fine Store.

Our old friend, r. Cote, the cigar man,
has fixed up pretty line place in the
Courtney building, and we don't know
but that he is a little better off since
the fire than before. At least he is in
the way of taking care of his custom
ers. One room is fitted up with modern
cigar fixtures, and here one. may secure
the very best cigars and tobaccos, kept
right and the best. Cote always did
know how to keep his cigars and to-
baccos, and he has not lost that art.
In the rear is well appointed card
room. On the other side is a pool room
with two of the best tables in the
town. The place is strictly high-class
and place where any gentleman can
spend pleasant evening.

Why MERCHANTS should Advertise.

One of the most effective ways for
local merchants to oppose encroach-
ments of mailorder houses is to adver-
tise literally in the home paper. Too
many merchants sleep on their oars
while the catalog house comes in and
takes large portion OF their trade.
They demur at undertaking anything
like thorough system of advertising,
contending that the drift to the mail
order houses is bound to come; and yet
they make free complaint over the in
roads of the mail-order houses into
their particular trade. The fact Of the
matter is, the trade belongs rightfuuy
to them and would come to them il
they were progressive enough in invit.
ing it with good, live advertising.

Change in Business.

A deal was closed Saturday through
which Powell Gibson again becomes
identified with the business interests
of this city. Mr.. Gibson, who has been
over to Winchester for several years,
decided Grangeville was just little
the best place ON earth and made an
offer ON the Gibson-Allen store which
resulted in sale. The company was
organized several years ago and has
one of the best stocks in the country.
High class and up to the minute in
quality has been the motto. They have
enjoyed a most excellent business. The
members of the firm at the time of
the sale were George Algie and VIM.
Allen. Mr.. Algie, who has become
quite we'll identified with all public
affairs and a man who is worth a
towns having, will remain temporar-
lily in charge Of the repair department.
Mr., Allen is man who has been iden-
titled with the boosters and men who

years and his retiring from business
does not mean that he will leave the
city. He has a number of interests in
city and country property and intends
remaining in Idaho county. He has
announced his candidacy for sheriff on
the democratic ticket and will be bus

The new purchaser is an old Grange
villeite and as good man as this town
has ever had; we are all glad to get

for business and prepared to meet all

Oscar johnson, Freed From Charge Of
Statutory Crime, Again Arrested
on More Serious One.
ALICE ND|NPOTWO CHS
Farmers Daughter Found In His Com
pany.-Has Been Having Trouble
Over Girls for Some Time.

Oscar johnson, who has been in the
limelight of the Clearwater country
for several years past, was taken into
custody for the second time by Idahc
county officers when last week he was
arrested at Greer upon instructions
from the Officers of this county. John
son was arrested several months ago at
Palouse and returned to Ilaho county,
the charge being in this instance statu-
tory rape, the alleged crime having
been committed four years ago.
The girl against whom the crime
was alleged to have been committed
could not be located and the officers
We're unable to secure sufficient evil
dence with which to proceed with the
prosecution and the case was dismissed
1t appears after his discharge he left
Grangeville and went to the town of
kamiah and here got in more trouble
over the woman question. johnson is
held now at the instance of the parents
of two girls Hazel McHugh, who is IA
years of age, Ethel Petersen cousin
of the defendant, age II. 1t is claimed
that Johnson enticed the girls to leave
their homes and accompany him and
had been in their company for a week
before the arrest. The young ladies
come from good families of the Clear
water section and there is strong
probability of a charge more serious
being lodged against johnson before
the prosecution is ended. According
to reports, johnson got wind of the
coming of the irate father of one of
the girls and attempted to get out of
Greer on freight train but was picked
up early Saturday by local officer
of that town.
johnson, who claims to be twenty
eight years Of age, looks like he was
forty, is bald-headed chap, and not
the sort one would take for typical
lady killer. From the neighboring
state of Washington it is limited that

Roosevelt Men Garry the Day.-Taft
Men Are Told to BE Good for
sake Of Borah.
DDSsRY Brings results
Results in Other Sections Of County
Seem Equally Divided.-County
Convention on Saturday.

On Saturday last the republican
county precinct meetings were held at
which time delegates were selected to
the county convention of that party
which will be held in Grangeville the
coming Saturday, at which time dele
gates to the Lewiston convention will
be selected. The meetings held in the
four Grangeville precincts were very
quiet affairs and not marked by the
rows that are usually taking place the
country over. The delegation was
strongly for Roosevelt, but few Taft
men are getting on. Over at Cotton
wood the delegates were divided and
from other precincts the word is that
Taft at least broke even with Roose-
velt. The meeting to be held here to-.
morrow will no doubt be tame affair
as the word has gone out for the lead
ers to be good and forget the past bit
terness. Those who are dry are to re-
main dry but not force their opinions
on the man who happens to be wet,
and the wet man is warned against rib
bing up fight. The Taft men, and
there are many of them, have been told
that for the sake of Borah and the par
ty they must be good. A high state
official made Grangeville visit sever
al weeks past and was in conference
with the leaders for many hours. The
result was that oil has been poured on
the troubled waters, for time at least,
AMI for the sake Of saving the country
they have been prevailed upon to make
these sacrifices Of opinion. The follow
ing delegates from Grangeville were
selected:
Grangeyille No. III. Rothwell, A.
G. Lanningham, Frank Van Deventer
and Robert Amber.
Grangeville No. 2-Henry Telcher,
Charles Stuttleburg, George Marshall,

School Notes.

Ihe eighth month of school closed on
last Friday and from many standpo;nts
the month Is the best of the year. Only
one month, January, has exceeded il in
attendance and that only by a small
margin. In tardiness this month is a
record breaker, there being only eight.
cen cases of. tardiness. This il most
gratifying since it is an expression of
the attitude of pupils and parents. for
there has not during the year been any
stringent action in respect to tardiness.
The school, as few schools ever become,
has gradually fallen into the habit Of
not being tardy. Naturally this speaks
OF good support by the parents.
There will be nine graduates this
year who will receive diplomas on May
18th at the Opera House. The class
roll consists of the following: Irene
Deerling, Florence Jump, Hilda Lieske,
Marjorie Munro, Mary Long, Irene Par
sons, Grace PEBBLES and Charley Sim
mons.
The Senior exercises to which the
public is cordially invited will require
three evenings. The first, two weeks
before the close of school, will consist
Of Senior Glass play, assisted by Jun
iors and Sophomores. This play will
be well worth the patronage of the pub
lie. The cast is good and the play is
interesting. The name, "The Sopho-
more,' is suggestive of its character,
and being school play it is naturally
abounding in good humor and laugh
able situations. Come out and attend
this play, for we hope to make enough
out of this play to make it possible to
allow free admission on the other two
nights, May 10th and 18th. The first
of these nights will be given to class
day exercises, together with stunts of
various nature. The last night is given
wholly to graduation exercises at which
we expect to have first class speaker.

Whitebird. The trail was SO rough
that eight miles of the distance it was
necessary to carry the body on the
shoulders of men and the remainder of
the distance an Indian sled was
brought into service and horse used.
The remains were taken in charge
by Undertaken Hancock at Whitebird
and twenty mile trip from that town
to Grangeville was necessary in order
to meet rail transportation and ship
the body on to Enterprise, Oregon,
where the deceased formerly lived and
where the body will be inferred.
The deceased and her husband had
been married but snort time and
came to this county less than a year
ago. In order to get start in the
world they sought out this remote place
and worked hard and diligently.
