Keuterville Citizen Dis
appeared Feb. 10.
LOOKS LIKE CASE OF SUICIDE
Selects the Salmon River
for the Tragedy.

Deputy Sheriff Charles Thompson
returned last Friday from the Salmon
river country, near Keuterville,
where he headed searching party
composed of Fred Wright, Charles
Gebhardt, Rufus Gentry, E. Elfeson,
John huffman, Robert Wright and
James Fain, who spent several days
investigating the sudden disappear
ance of J. M. Watts, a recent arrival
in that country who dropped out Of
sight on February 10. Mr.. Watts,
who is said to have acted rather queer
at times, left his home on that MORN
ing and has not been heard Of since.
He was tracked to the brakes Of the
Salmon and later on the trail
was again taken up which shows he
made his way to a sand bar in that
river and disappeared. The opinion
seems to be that he became deranged
and took his life. Part of the route
taken by the man was of SO rough a
character that the searching party
required a half day to traverse a
half mile of the country. Mr.. Watts,
who is a man ofsixty-five years Of age,
left scantily attired and could not
long withstand the elements.

Must Swing Outward.

/. The last session Of the legislature
passed a law which requires that all
doors leading from assembly rooms,
lobbies and the like of churches,
theaters, hotels, and buildings where
public gatherings are held shall swing
outward. The law provides that all
buildings used for such purposes shall
be 80 arranged as to conform with the
requirements within six months from
the first of March, 1911.
The following is the full text Of the
law:
Section l. All public buildings

hereafter to be built or constructed,
which may or shall be used for
churches, theaters, school houses, pub
lie meetings, hotel lobbies, which may
or shall be used for any purpose

NOVEL IDEAS IN ADVERTISING
Cottonwood andStites Out

Always in the lead when it comes
to matter of public enterprise,
Idaho county is represented at the
Portland Stock Show this week by
large delegation Of public spirited
citizens. Grangeville, Cottonwood
and Ferdinand of the high line fur

tingents from Sites, Kooskia and

bearing the inscription, "Camas
Prairie Cut-backs." These will be
distributed among those from this
section of Idaho. Cottonwood, which
furnished the second largest humber
from the Prairie, had novelty in the
way of card upon which was printed
nice, fat porker and the following
type matter: "Fm from Cottonwood,
Idaho. Where are you froml 108
cars of hogs, 96 cars of cattle, As cars
of sheep and AIT cars Of grain shipped
from Cottonwood in 1911" Certain
ly mighty fine piece Of advertising.
The Cottonwood crowd also took with
them a man with trained pig who
will lead the same IN the parade at
Portland. Sites, that ever lively
town on the Clearwater, sent out 500
copies Of a special edition of the local
paper for distribution and also used
some large banners advertising that
section to good advantage. Kooskia

suitable publicity literature.

Visiting His Brother.

o. G. Hickerson of San Antonio,
Texas, arrived this week for visit
with his brother, Walter Hickerson.
A peculiar coincidence is that just
seven years ago, directly after the
other big fire, Mr.. Hickerson was a
Grangeville visitor. Of course he
noticed some change in the town but
states this is just about as good sec
ton as he has seen in his travels from
the south. Mr.. Hickerson says that
to those who live along the Mexican
frontier it is quite generally under
stood that the solution of this Mexican
problem will come through interven-
tion by the United States and while
we hear great deal in the papers of
the insurrection the death loss in most
Of these battles is very light and the
army" would quickly surrender to a
wagon load of American bacon and
corn meal.

For K. P. Club Rooms.

At the next regular meeting of the
K. P. lodge, which occurs on next
Tuesday night, full attendance is
desired as at that time the matter OF
fitting up suitable club rooms for the
lodge and its friends will come up for
discussion and it is desired that the
opinion Of as many members as possi.
bic shall be heard. The plan is to Sc
cure commodious quarters in modern
building on Main street, furnish the
rooms in comfortable style and make
a home where the members Of the K.
P. lodge may spend pleasant even
ing. 1t is also suggested that the
Pythian Sisters be allowed the use ol
the rooms when they may desire te
entertain.

The Colored Race.

A great deal is written about the
colored race, but little is said of the
educational facilities throughout the
South. While every town or city is
provided with public school, the one
best known to the "Northerner" is
the famous college situated in Nash
vile, Tenn. Many bright and brainy
men and women have graduated from
this college, but the one best remem-
bered, and their name will always be
respected and talked about. To 90
back twenty-five years will give the
present generation better idea of
whom we are writing. One of the
many studies in the Nashville college
is music, and naturally the colored
race take it up very quickly. One Of
the music masters had particularly
bright class Of 8 boys, and one after
noon was called upon to give concert
before the governor Of Tennessee. So
successful was the concert that the
teacher conceived the idea Of travelling
from town to town during vacation
time. Permission was obtained from
the faculty and the famous "Nash-
vile Students" were launched. This
was twenty-five years ago. Some Of
the original "eight" are still travelling
but each year new talent is added,
until today the Nashville Students
stand alone as one of the greatest
organizations in America. They are
noted for their excellent singing and
splendid dancing and above all thei1
good clean comedy. As comedians
they have no equal and the "Nash
vile Students" Of today are just al
they were twenty-five years ago, thu
greatest exponents Of mirth in the
world. This company will be at th'

Looks Mighty Promising
for Grangeville Ball Team

Some Of the ball players met at the
Commercial club rooms Sunday and
they decided to see what could be
done toward an Independent ball
team for the coming summer. Don
Fisher was elected manager and Geo.
Newton captain. The boys visited
the business men during the week and
were assured liberal support by
practically all of them.
In looking up material for team
it was found that first class team
can be had with little or no trouble.
Nearly all Of the 1911 team are here
and will play, and several other
players who were not here last year
will try for places on the team.
The probable lineup will DO some
thing like this: Battery, Karr and
Hollestein; infield, Jarvis or Mul-
hall, Ingram, Weider and Newton.
outfeld, Ward, Litchfeld and Jarvis;
although several of the others will try,
and 80 no one is hardly sure Of his
place. This year would be Karr's
third year for Grangeville' and he is
one of the best slab artists in the
country and with Holly behind the
bat, the fans need not worry about
that part Of the team, although
Newton behind the bat and Holly
in the box make pretty classy COM
bination, and Ingram's arm feels
0. X. this year, and both Pap" Jar
Wis and Litchfeld can do good back
stopping, SO good battery is assured.
On the infield Pap" Jarvis handles
first in fine shape and Mulhall, who
played the initial bag for Gonzaga
college team, will try for it Ingram
makes q pretty classy second baseman
and will doubtless be there this year.

Just a Fair Country.

VIM. Zumwaldt, who has been in
vestigating the resources of the central
Oregon country for the past ten days,
returned last week. Most of the
time was spent in Bend and the
tributary country and he states that
in his opinion the country will make
a great section some day but on ac-
count of the newness of it and the
time required to get it under cultiva-
ton several years will have elapsed
before the section will be inviting,
especially to q man from Camas
Prairie. The soil is light, volcanic
ash and not very deep and consider
able rock is noticeable. The altitude
is considerably higher than Camas
Prairie and frosts are quite common.
Irrigation is necessary and Mr.. Zum-
waldt questions the success of some of
the proposed systems of getting water
on the land on account Of the limited
supply in the river from which it is
taken. "Bill" states that at present
about every other man one meets
down there is a locator and while
things are prosperous at Bend the
business is principally what is done
among the landseekers. His son
Mart is located at Bend, holding
down good job in saw mill at
that place. He intends homesteading
a choice quarter section this spring.
Hugh O'Kane, former Grangeville
citizens, is conducting hotel at that
place and enjoying good busine's.
Adother Idaho county boy who
Mr.. Zumwaldt met while ava, was
Clint Pennell, now living in Bend.
Frank Hatch, also a former Camas
Prairie citizen, has a fine irrigated
claim. Taken all in all "Bill' says
Camas Prairie is good enough for
him and since seeing central Oregon
and the prices asked for lands has
decided to raise the value on his
Camas Prairie holdings.

Short and third were our weak points
last year but they will be stronger
this year with Weider and Newton on
duty. Now on the outfeld there is a
wealth of material although the most
promising SO far seems to be Tom
Ward, Pap Jarvis and Litchfeld,
although there are several who will
make first class showings, not only
for field positions but also for places
on the infeld.
AS we went to quite an expense
last year to fix up the baseball park
it would be shame to let the season
go by without ball team and as we
have the material for first class
team in the city, it will be an easy
matter to have classy little team il
we will all boost for the boys.
. The boys state they are planning
on giving several dances during the
summer to help defray the expenses,
and they look forward to the most
successful year in the history Of the
town for baseball. The boys are
figuring on handling the team in the
same manner that it was handled two
years ago. Quite a number of the
fans have assured the boys that they
will do everything in their power to
help them out and the team feels
that with little assistance from the
business men, a good time for all will
be assured.
An effort will be made to arrange
some week day games for the benefit
Of the fans who are unable to attend
Sunday games. At present the boys
are planning on bringing lewiston
here for the opening game. AS we
lost at Lewiston last year the boys are
anxious to reverse the score this time
and feel confident that they can do it.
