There are about seventy teams at work
on the project. One hundred teams
will be added within the next ten days.
When the work is under full swing
there will be no less than 500 men and
many teams at work.
Water from the Crane Creek project
is to be ready for use in the spring
of 1914. This project, is understood,
is to be colonized by the Kuhns of

The Reservoir, which was partially
built by the promoters Of the Crane
Creek project, is now 30 feet high. 1t
is to be raised to a height of 55 feet.
1t will then hold 10000 acre feet of
water, which with the natural flow
from the stream will be sufficient to
irrigate 10000 acres. Sixty miles of
main canals is to be built.

COVERS COUNTIES.
GRANGEvILLE LIGHT AND POWER
CO. TAKES IN NEW TERRITORY.
SUPPLY CURRENT FROM HERE
Takes over the Lewis County Electric
Company and Invades Clearwater
County.

The Grangeville Electric Co. is
branching out and from present ~indi-
cations will furnish light and power to
all of the towns of Idaho, Lewis and
Clearwater counties as well as part of
Nez Perez before another year rolls
by Last week the company took over
the Lewis County Electric Co. and in
speaking of the transaction the
kamiah paper has the following to
saay:
The Lewis County Electric Company,
this week consumated deal with the
Grangeville Electric & Power Co., in
which the latter take over all the inter-
ests that the former company own in
Clearwater, Nez Perez and Lewis
counties.
This deal has been hanging fire for
more than month on account of minor
matters coming up that had cleared
away before the business could be salts
factorialy settled.
The Lewis County Electric Company,
which is part of the Welch system
that have interests in different sec
tions of the west, came into this field
several months ago and after purchas-
ing the z. A. johnson interests at the
Lo Lo, proceeded to light other towns
and some time last winter purchased
the plant at Orofino, they also secured
franchise in Peck, where they were
aiming to build their line into, but
been made nothing in a material way
has been done at that point.
The Grangeville Electric & Power Co.,
that is now entering this place have
plants in several towns throughout
these counties, consisting of Vollmer,
Cottonwood, Fem and Grangeville, and
a near as can be learned the intention
of the company is to run up the river
from this point and enter the town of
Kooskia and Sites, completing chain
of systems that will furnish electricity
in all the towns of Clearwater, Lewis,
Idaho and part of Nez Perez counties.
No data can be secured on the plans
of the company but there are well de-
fined rumors that many changes will
be made as soon as they can make pro
per arrangements that may work a
benefit to that section of the country
that is to be supplied with power and
light. 1t is impossible to gain any
knowledge of the intention of the com
pany leaving this field, but they still
own their power plant ON the Salmon
river that may in the near future be
developed.

The Local Paper.

1t is to be regretted that in many
towns the business men seem to be una
ware of the encroachment the big mail
order houses are making on the trade
that should belong gto the local mer-
chants. The mail order houses realize
that the best advertising medium is the
local newspaper and are buying space in
them whenever they can.
There are two essentials necessary to
success in modern bushes: First to
have the goods at reasonable prices; Sc
cond, to let the public know it, Many
local merchants throughout the country
are inclined to consider advertising an
expense, whereas, the mail order houses
consider it an investment from which
they derive big dividends, and they fur
Their realize that without advertising
they would soon cease to exist
The advantage in the use of adverts-
ing is greatly in favor of the home
merchant, inasmuch as he expends for
advertising rarely leaves the COM
munity and the merchant again receives
considerable portion of it directly or
indirectly.
Mr.. Merchant! If you withhold adj
vertising from your local editor, could
you blame him for accepting mail order
houses advertising! And yet it is true
THAT nina nuf Of 20,
newspaper who have been offered mail
order house advertising have turned it
down. And when he turns down this
foreign advertising, are you repaying
him in kind when you send job of
printing away to some big city! You
are guilty of the same fault in doing
this that you complain of in your Gus
toners! 1t is not only cup to you' to
back up your local newspaper but it is
to your interest to do so.
At st. Louis last November was held
the first annual convention of the
National Federation of Retail Merch-
ants. The organization of the fedora
ton itself was largely the result of
conviction that unless something is
done to reverse the current of immigra-
tion to the cities, the rural community
ms place of residence and for the
transportation of business is doomed.
The retailers present expressed an
earnest desire to discover to what ex-
tent they are at fault in failing to meet
the outside competition of mail order
houses for local patronage All of them
realized and many of them admitted
that the retailers claim for a place in
the SCENE of distribution must be based
upon service. They held, therefore,
that to the extent that the local re-
tailors gives as good or better service
than the catalog houses, he is entitled
to the patronage of the residents of his
community. In order that everybody in
the community shall know the service
that the retailer is able to give he must
advertise that service, just the same as
the catalog house advertise the service
it offers. In fact advertising was un-
animously advocated, if not the only
effective means of retaining home
trade.

SEEK A PARDON
IN THE KESTER AND KETTEN
BACH CASES.
A PETITION TO PRESIDENT
It Will be Directly Presented by At
torneys Babb and Tannahill;
Left for Washington.

William F. Kettenbach and Attor-
neys James E. Babb and George w.
Tannahill departed Saturday morning
for Washington, D. c., where they will
formerly present petition to Presi-
dent Wilson for pardon for Mr.. Ket-
tenbach and George II. Kester, who are
under conviction on the charge of hav-
ing made, while officers of the First
National bank, false reports to the
comptroller of the treasury. The de-
PENDANTS were tried in the federal court
at Boise on the charge in April 1911,
and were found guilty of five counts,
receiving on each count sentence of
five years, sentences, however, to run
concurrently, making in effect one
five-year sentence.
The cases were appealed to the cir
cult court of appeals and argued at San
Francisco, the decision of the court
handed down in January, being UNI
favorable to the defendants. There
was then filed in the supreme court of
the United States a certiorari pro-
ceeding, which in effect asked the right
to appeal to that body from the deei-
sion of the circuit court of appeals
A few days ago this petition was denied
by the supreme court.
Pending the decision of the highest
court ON the petition, application was
made to President Taft for a pardon,
but 1t came before him during the clos
ing hours of his administration and he
passed it over without prejudice The
steps where than taken to present the
petition to President Wilson and the
hearing will take place some date be-
tween May $ and May Is.
j Pardon will be asked on the princi-
pal ground that the defendants never
misappropriated dollar of money;
never defrauded single deposit
tor and that there is nothing in the re-
cord to show that they ever intended
to; that the bank IS affairs had been
handled in such manner as to make
money for the stockholders, and that if
any violation of the law occurred in the
making of the reports to the comptroller
it was purely of a technical character.
In connection with the application for
pardon it will be presented also that
the bank s troubles, resulting in much
loss to the defendants, was due to the
acts of Clarence Robett and ]. T.. Chap
man, the former having confessed EN-.
bezzlement of $4,000 later pardoned
by the government after he had acted
as state witness. A showing will al
so be made to the president that the
federal prosecution against the defend
ants was biased to extreme extent and
that the case assumed the form of a
persecution rather than prosecution.
1T is believed that the new administra-
ton, free from prejudice, will give fair
investigation of the entire record, and
the defendants and their friends feel
the pardon will be granted.-Tribune.

WHAT THE lNTERuRBAN ExTEN-

the line from Giddings today, and it's
a wonderfully rich, well developed
country, and it will be at your door"
Col. E. B. Cushing.
The above expression from Colonel
Cushing is certainly encouraging and
cheering to the people of Bryan. Col
onel Cushing is man not given to
idle statements, and his wide expert
ence gives weight and value to his
opinions.
The promoters of this extension OF
the interurban to the bottom need
every encouragement from our citi'
zens. They are doing great work-a
work that will benefit Bryan far more
than We now imagine. Let every hand
be outheld to them, let every assist
ance possible be rendered, let every
bonus subscription be paid promptly
so that this great work can go forward
rapidly and without interruption.

Dear Sir-I note in your issue of

you say that ITO save our life we can
not justify the wearing Of (women's)
hats in church." | am much surprised
that you, who profess to be son of
God, a member of the church of the
Lord Jesus, can dare to advise the
women to disobey the express COM
mand of our Lord and King. If you
will read the eleventh chapter of
!. Corinthians you will see that Paul
begins this chapter with the command,
"Be We followers of me as l also am
OF Christ" and beginning with the
fifth verse he commands that no wom-
an should pray or prophesy with her
head uncovered, and il she should do
so she is disgraced and her head
should be shorn, and he gives the rea-
sons for it. The whole of the eleventh,
twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth
chapters of this epistle are written to
give us directions for the public wor-
ship of God, and Paul concludes with

Farmers used to think it beneath
them to sell eggs, chickens, butter,
wood, vegetables, and other diversified
products. For this reason they were
forced to arrange with their merchant
at the beginning of each year for sup

on the crop to be grown. They are
learning better now, and also that it
is far more honorable and respectable
to sell truck than it is to give a crop
