The tallest tree in the world is the
Australian eucalyptus, reaching a total
altitude OF $50 feet. The biggest are
the mammoth trees of California, some
of which are 276 to 376 feet in height
and 1OS feet in circumference at the
base. From measurements of the

trees are from 1000 to $500 years old.
The oldest tree in the world is said to
be on the island Of Kos, off the coast
OF Asia Minor. 1t is several thousand
years old. but just how many no one
has dared to say. The tree is carefully
preserved by wall of masonry around

SATURDAY A
BIG CREAM DAY
Over 100 Pounds Received
at Commercial Cream Co.
Station that Day--Dairying
a Paying Industry.

Last Saturday was the banner
cream day in Cottonwood for
some time and on that day the
local Commercial Cream Co. sta
ton received 1118 pounds of
cream for shipment to the factory
at Lewiston. On the same day
j. V. Baker received 891 pounds
for the Hazelwood company,
making a total of 1909 pounds
for the day. During the month
of April the station received
87OO pounds of cream for which
it paid to the farmers the nice
sum of $1218. The price during
the month ranged from 35c a
pound to 26c, the latter being
the price now quoted for sour
cream. The company is paying
a premium of five cents a pound
for sweet cream and during April
paid out nearly $50 to it's patrons
here in this way.
The local receiving station for
the Hazelwood company at Spo-
kane also did a nice business
last month and it is safe to say
that the two companies paid out
close to $500 for cream at this
place last month. The receipts
for May will be even greater
than those for April and new
record will no doubt be estab-
lished.
Cottonwood is rapidly becom-
ing quite a cream center and as
soon as the farmers go into the
dairy business in earnest and
provide themselves with high
grade cows this prairie will de-
velop into one of the richest
dairy sections of the west.

Missing Man Found in River.

Word was received here We'd
nesday afternoon of the finding
of the body of a man thought to
be J. F. Watts in the Salmon
river near the mouth of Billy
creek south of Forest by John
Platt, stock man residing in
that section. Word of the find
was sent to Coroner Blake at
Keuterville and to Coroner Vas
sar at Lewiston and yesterday
morning Undertaken McClaskey,
of this place, left for the scene
to bring the body back for burial.
1t will be remembered that J.
F. Watts mysteriously disappear
ed from the home of his brother
in-law, E. Ellefson, near Keuter-
vile some time in February and
has not been seen since. The
lost man was past sixty years of
age and it was feared for a time
that he had become lost in the
timber and died from cold and
exposure. A searching party
discovered his tracks leading to
Salmon river, however, and as
the tracks ended at the waters
edge the conclusion was naturally
drawn that he had committed
suicide. Mr.. Watts and family
came here last fall from Alberta
and were stopping at the Ellefson
home until they could purchase
a place of their own. No reason
is known for his disappearance
except temporary insanity result
ing in suicide.
Undertaken McClaskey and
Mr.. Ellefson reached town this
morning with the remains and
an inquest will be held by Coro-
ner Blake this afternoon. Coun-
ty Attorney Griffith and Sheriff
Overman came oyer yesterday
from Grangeville to be present
at the inquest.

Kicked By A Horse.

Homer Eimers, the 14-year old
son of j. P. Eimers, of the firm
of Eimers-Wood Co., narrowly
escaped death last week Thurs
day morning at 7:30 while graz
ing one of Mr.. Eimers' driving
horses in the front yard at their
home in the west part of the city.
Homer was holding the horse by
the halter letting him nip the
grass in the front yard, when 1t
is supposed, in a fit of playful
ness, the animal wheeled and
kicked the boy in the face render
ing him unconscious for time.
Later, when he came to, he call
ed and his sister and brother
came to his aid, (the mother be-
ing absent in the east.
Drs. Stockton and Slusser and
Dentist Smith were called and a
careful examination disclosed the
fact that the shoe calk had struck
Homer in the mouth, knocking
out nine teeth on the upper jaw,
from the eye tooth around to the
second molar, and crushing the
jaw and the bone extending back
to the soft palate, sections of the
bone being picked up in the yard
where they had been spat out by
the injured boy. The mouth was
torn back an inch or more, re-
quiring five stitches. The wounds
were dressed and a temporary
gutta percha palate and support
was devised by DR.. Smith and at
present Homer, who displayed
the nerve of a soldier under the
painful ordeal, is resting as easy
as could be expected. He will
have to receive nourishment
through tube for many days,
but is fortunate to be alive. -

Grangeville High Meets Defeat

The Grangeville high school
ball team came over last Friday
and mixed with the high school
team at this place in one of the
best school games played here
for many day, the home team
winning by a score of 7 to 3.
The visitors had played several
games this spring and were said
to be putting up a pretty fast
article of the national game and
the local lads had little hopes of
beating them but the results of
the game showed the home boys
to be pretty fast themselves and
they had little difficulty in walk
ing away with the long end of
the score. Leo Robertson and
Billie Schober pitched for the
local team and Art Rhoades
caught. The Grangeville battery
was Munro and Brown. Charlie
White umpired and gave good
satisfaction.
On Sunday game between
the high school team and the reg
ulars was played and won by the
latter by a score Of IL to 10.
Goetz and Parsons, battery for
the regulars, were turned over
to the school team and Libbey
and Rhoades, of the school team,
were battery for the regulars.
This made things pretty even
and the game was close from
start to finish. In the eighth in
ming the score was tied and the
regulars were unable to annex
the winning run until the tenth
inning when they pushed man
across the plate and ended the
game.
Up to the time of going to
press it has been impossible to
get a game for Sunday but the
Grangeville team will play here
the following Sunday. AS this
team has played and won a num-
ber of games this spring while
the locals have but hardly gotten
together they will have their
work cut out to keep the county
seat boys from walking off with
the game.

Scofeld Fined $1OO.

Roy Scofeld, former clerk OF
the Lewiston post office, was fined
SlOO at Moscow Tuesday, having
entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of destroying the United
States mail.
Scofield was arrested last March
after a quantity of mail, sent out
by the Lewiston business men in
the local option fight, was dis
covered in the Snake river below
Charleston. An investigation was
instituted by Inspector Fullen-
wider, resulting in Scofeld con-
Tossing to the destruction of the
mail, his excuse being that he
was required to do more work
than it was possible for him to
complete during the night shift
and he had resorted to the de-
struction of the unworked mail
which he regarded as unimpor-
tant.
Another indictment was stand
ing against Scofield charging en-
bezzlment, but his attorney, Finis
Bentley, of Lewiston, managed
to have this dismissed. The dis
missal of one charge and fine on
the other occupied but about 20
minutes. Attorney Bentley spoke
of the defendants past record,
and frequently directed his inter-
rogations in making his defense
to Inspector Fullenwider. The
court considered the case as pre-
sented by the attorney and the
action above noted was the re-
suit. Special to Tribune.

Big Ball Game Sunday.

A battle to the death" game
of base ball has been arranged
for Sunday at the local ball park
between Rustemeyer's Rough
necks, consisting of men employ
ed on the Simon building, with
enough picked up to make a team,
and Shirley's Shirkers, composed
of men employed on the high
school building. The captains of
the two teams have wagered all
their ready change and reputa =
tion on the outcome of the game
and will be on the job to see thai
their men do all that is in the
to win. The game is sure to +
a warm affair and will doubtless
furnish more amusement than a
three-ring circus. A small ad-
mission charge of Is cents will
be made to pay for balls batted
out of the lot and for arnica and
liniment to use on the gladiators
after the game. Hospital bills
are to be settled by the captains.
Game called at 2::3O, sharp. Bet
ter be there.

Brought Jerseys To Prairie.

Billie Brockman returned to
the prairie the first of the week
from Oregon with a drove of "a
pure bred Jersey cattle which he
will dispose of to farmers on
Camas and Nezperce prairies.
Most of the animals were pur-
chased from one man in Oregon
who has been raising Jerseys for
the past fifteen years and the
animals are said to be pedigreed
stock of extra good quality.
From the interest farmers are
taking in the dairy industry on
the two prairies Mr.. Brockman
should have no trouble in dispos-
ing of his cattle at good prices.

MUCH BUILDING
CONTEMPLATED
Cottonwood is Destined to
Enjoy Substantial Growth
This Year--,$6O,OOO Worth
of Buildings Now in Sight.

From present indications Cot
tonwood is destined to enjoy
quite a building boom this sum-
mer, though in reality it is more
of a steady, substantial growth
than a BOOM" The latest to
announce their intentions of
erecting new business buildings
are H. H. Nuxoll, president of
the German State Bank, and
John W. Proctor, a San Fran
cisco capitalist who has heavy
property interests in Cottonwood.
Mr.. Nuxoll will start work on
the foundation of his new build
ing at once and will build it
strong enough to support a two
story building. The new block
will be built either of cement
blocks or brick, preferably the
former, and will be located on
the corner of King and Front
streets opposite the Chronicle
office and adjoining his present
brick building occupied by the
Foster Harness Co. The build
ing will be 33x1OO feet in size
and will be material improve
ment to the appearance of the
business section of onr city when
completed. We understand the
lower story of the building has
already been spoken for.
While in our city this week Mr..
Proctor let the contract for the
erection of a frame building
32X45 feet in size on his lot on
Main street west of the Parker
store. The building will be divid-
ed into two rooms and will be
built for rent as Mr.. Proctor
thought the busy appearance of
our little city would justify such
an investment at this time.
With the erection of the ele-
CANT brick store building for the
Hoene Hardware, the fine two
story meat market by Simon
Bros, the $4,000 residence by
Abbl Bros, the Funke building,
the South blacksmith shop, work
starting on the new $25, 900 high
school building, contracts let for
several residences, the probable
erection of a brick block by the
Cottonwood Hdw. & Imp. Co.
this fall, besides the erection of
the two buildings first mentioned,
it goes conclusively to show that
Cottonwood is rapidly coming
into its own.
Yes, things do move at Cotton
wood and we will not be surpris-
ed to see a sewer system and
paved streets here in the near
future. Electric light and power
and an excellent supply of pure
mountain water are already num-
bered among our valued possess
sions.

EXPLOSIVE DIET.

There is young man in Los An- geles who says he keeps young by eating nitroglycerin tablets. He is now seventy-three and declares he expects to live to be hundred years old. Such a diet is all right for a man who does not have to hustle for a living and has no fear of automo- bile accidents, whose friends do not greet him by skipping him on the back and whose wife does not drag him into bargain counter rushes. Of course a man who feeds himself on nitroglycerin has to live long, for If he should die there would be no undertaken daring enough to tackle the job of preparing him for burial. Still 1t is diet which cannot be rec commended for football teams.
