prominent citizens in an auto.

Two stage coaches were handled
by the well-known skilled reinsmen
and stage drivers, Ed Cawley and
George ID. Smith. Four immigrant
wagons here followed and they rep
resented real immigrants. They had
reached Grangeville yesterday, plan
ming to settle at some point ON the
prairie, and the Border Days man
agement promptly placed them in
| service. Always a unique feature,
and now we'll known throughout the
northwest, are the Cottonwood train
ed team of pigs. They were given
conspicuous position in the parade
and trotted along with their proud
owner at a speed that was remark
able. Then came McDaniel's pack
train of 40 animals, classed as the
best in Idaho. They were loaded
down with big cargo, and prominent
in it were many barrels of liquors.
The whoop of the Nez Perce was now
heard, and this division attracted ap-
plause throughout the line of march,
but not more so than the 400 pretti-
ly-dressed public school children. A
tapper was represented by a float
OF beautiful furs. There was a bit
of sarcasm in display of growing
grains and vegetables of height and
size that only Camas prairie can
equal. The float was entitled "Killed
Out by Hail" One hundred cowboys
and cowgirls was the closing division.
AT the head of this division rode Mr..
and Mrs. Blancett, classed as the
champions of the world in roundup
work.
There were a number of very
tasty floats representing business
houses. Especially complimented was
that of the Alexander & Freiden-
rich store. The Gibson Allen COM
pany was represented by two pretty
girls driving a horse attached to a
flower-decked surrey. Other business
houses represented were: Miller Imp.
Co., Wright grocery, John p. Play &
Son, Penwen & Priddy, Farmers
Store, Idaho Brewery, Camas Prairie
Lumber company, J. M. Olson and
Lingo's second hand store.
The parade was handled with
despatch and method that reflected
much credit upon the management
and shows that the enterprising lit
tie city of Grangeville was well organ
lied for the carrying out of the big
program of the week.

MRS. MARSHAL CHENOWETH

Mrs. Marshall Chenoweth, aged 27
years, dropped dead at home near

good health and her mother, Mrs.
Charles B. Stewart, was in the room
with her where they were preparing
for a visit to outside points. Sudden
ly Mrs. Chenoweth complained Of a
pain at her heart and without warn

pired. Deceased was raised at Clear
water and leaves a husband and
three children. The funeral was held
ON Thursday at Clearwater.

The great Border Days event drew
TO a close last Saturday with the rec
ord crowd of tie four days in atten-
dance and the greatest of enthus-
lasm manifested by the visitors, who
came from the four quarters of the
earth, and seemed decidedly reluctant
to take their departure When it was
first announced that the celebration
would be continued four days many
thought the time too long and ex-
pressed fear that the program would
pail on the sight seers and the atten-
dance would fall off. But nothing
could have been farther from the true
conditions than such prophecy. The
interest and the crowds increased
with each day, and the visitors seem
ed determined not to leave even aft
er the close of the program, many
staying over until Sunday, and others
even until Monday.
The satisfaction manifested by the
visitors was due to the manner in
zens, as we'll as the excellent pro-
gram which was served up to them
In the daily performances. There
was no grating or over charging of
the visitors so far as heard from,
and all We're profuse in their praise
of the entertainment given them
and the manner in which the great
crowds were taken care of.
The newspapers of the country were
most generous i'm their treatment of
the celebration, all containing kind
ly comments and many deYoting
great deal of space before hand to
announcements of the association as
we'll as daily accounts of the perfor-
mances Among the latter is the
special correspondent on the ground
in the person of Wallace Stanton to
supplement the work of Joe B. Wade
and Don Fisher, the local representa-
tives, and which is deserving of spe-
cial mention for the liberal space Civ
EN- over to the celebration as well as
the excellent manner i'm which it was
treated. The Tribune deals with the
first days program in the following
acceptable manner. 1t says:
Greatest Parade Ever Witnessed in
Idaho.
"The opening feature the first day
of the Border Days celebration was
provided in the most elaborate street
parade ever witnessed in the central
Idaho region and heralded the success
of the big program that followed in
the afternoon at the roundup grounds
where the sensational feats held the
attention of delighted crowd until
nightfall
"The parade was over one mile in
length and at the head of the column
marched Grangeville's crack band,
the players arrayed in typical cowboy
costume. Mixed with the strains of
the music the sharp crack of the re-
volver offered feature that tended
much to stir the enthusiasm of the
throngs that crowded the sidewalks
for quarter of a mile in the busi-
ness district. The cowboy squad, led
by William Jones, the weM-known
stockman, also enlivened matters
with their lassoes, catching along the
route a number of prominnet citi-
zens. One of the captives was Jesse
james, the Nez Perce Indian and
known as leader among his people.
Jesse was Inclined for a period to
resent the intrusion. but was finally
landed in an auto near the rear of

DESERVED SUCCESS.

Charles Klein's great play "The
Lion and the Mouse" richly deserves
the great success that has followed
it ever since its initial performance.
No play In the last fifty years has set
people to thinking so deeply as has
this one.
