COMMERCIAL CLUB TO ENTER
TAIN LOCAL FIREMEN

For sometime the commercial club
members have had under pray erful
consideration the entertainment of
the local fire fighting force at an
evening banquet, and it has at last
been decided to set the date for the
great eatfest for riday evening, Sept.
5th; the place, the Imperial Hotel,
Landlord Tamblyn has volunteered to
improvise a stage for the occasion
in the dining room, and the fire lad
dies have announced that they will
in return for the hospitable treatment
accorded them. entertain their enter
tainers with a few well arranged
vaudeville stunts. You may look for
something good both in the eat and
show menus, and feel like your lucky
star has risen if you are fortunate
enough to be there. (Friday Is not
an unlucky day, in such cases made
and provided)

DROWNED IN
MOUNTAIN LAKE
Nick knopes Rides Pony Into
Gospel Hill Lake and
Meets Death.

AT noon Monday, while Fred Poe,
the young son of George Poe, the
Whitebird sheep man, and Nick
knopes, the Is year old son of Hen
ry knopes, the Asotin county sheep
man, were herding their fathers
flocks near Gospel Hill, ON the noun
tain range some six miles beyond
Adams Camp. and sc miles from
Grangeville, the Knopes boy decided
to swim his horse across the lake at
the foot of Gospel Hill and was
drowned in the attempt After get
ting the pony into the water, he
struck sudden jump-off and pitched
over the ledge head first into eight
feet of water, carrying his rider with
him. The pony arose, and reached
footing in a short distance and came
safely to shore. but the young and
reckless rider appeared no more. He
evidently had lost his seat when the
pony went down and in the struggle
of the animal to regain the surface,
received a blow that rendered him
unconscious.
Young Poe at once went for assis-
tance and Mrs. Sawyer, the motherly
landlady at Adams, telephoned the
news of the disaster in to Frank Nc
Crane, manager of the Alexander
Freidenrich company at this place.
Henry Knopes, father Of the un-
fortunate young man was communicat
ed with by McGrane at his home neal
Asotin, and on being notified of the
sad occurrence he started the same
evening for Grangeville in his auto,
arriving here at six o'clock the next
morning. From here he was taken
by team by his friend J. L. Swank
to the scene of the tragedy. The
body was found at the bottom of the
lake where the pony took It's head
long plunge, being readily located
through the pellucid waters of the
clear mountain lake.
The remains were brought tc
Grangeville, arriving about midnight
Wednesday, and after being prepared
by Undertaken Hancock were shipped
the next morning to Asotin county
for burial beside the mother who lost
her life about a year ago in a run
away.

ity practically one. The change was
made in response to the request of
the business interests and citizens of
Ferdinand-meeting with no protest
on the part of the Steunenberg town
site people-and will simplify in a
manner shipping methods. Ferdinand
is the old town of that district, hav-
ing been established prior to the con-
struction of the railroad, and resi-
dents OF the locality were not inclin-
ed to abandon ii. Practically all the
commercial interests are now center
ed in Ferdinand, and il serves as
commercial center for as rich an
agricultural district as can be found
in the United States. Steunenberg
was founded at the same time as
Fem, vollmer and Reubens. Fem
absorbed the old town of Denver and
Reubens engulfed Kippen, but Ferdi-
nand engaged Steunenberg in battle
and Ilo tackled Vollmer. Many peace
proposals from time to time have
arisen seeking peace between 10 and
Vollmer but the duel seems to have
grown more determined with the pas
sing of years, and likely Is to be con-
tinued until such time as the joint
community shall reach a magnitude
that shall harmoniously enclose both.

NE w N. P. DIRECTOR IS AMAZED


Sundays Tribune: Amos T. French
of New York, representing European
shareholders of Northern Pacific
stock, accompanied by his two sons
and a couple of guests, arrived in
the city yesterday morning in spe-
cial car, and shortly afterward de-
parted for tour of the Camas prairi
country, being accompanied by w. j.
Jordan, local agent for the road, and
superintendent Finch of he Camas
Prairie road. The return trip of the
party was made late in the afternoon,
and this morning the special and its
occupants will depart for Portland
The present trip of Mr.. French will
take him over the entire stretch of
the Northern Pacific system, and al
ready two weeks have been spent in
daylight travel, it being a set rule to
cover all ground between the hours
of sunrise and sunset. The trip over
the prairie opened the eyes of Mr..
French. He was amazed at the area
of the country so rich in cereals and
grasses, and the growing grain
stretched out for miles and miles to
all sides gave but a faint idea of
what the prairie country adjacent to
Lewiston really meant to the rail-
roads in the way of revenue.

former is the worst sort Of extrava-

been thus far advanced bears with at
least equal force upon the question of
