ANOTHER PIONEER
DEPARTED.

Richard M. Henley, one of Ida
no county's well known pioneers
departed this life last Saturday,
March %, 1913, at 1890 p. m,
at the home of his son, r. B.
Henley, near White Bird, at the
age of GO years, Z months and
Is days.
Mr.. Henley was a devoted hus-
band and father and was we'll and
favorably known throughout Ida
no county and enjoyed the conf
dence and respect of all who knew
him.
Richard M. Henley was born
near Greenfield, Mo-, August IA,
1849. With his parents he emf
grated to Humboldt, Kansas in
1856. There, he grew to manhood
Attended Manhattan University
and graduated with honors from
that institution at the age of Is
years. He then followed the buy

Mrs. Gronen and they went in on
the stage by way of higgins.
Mr.. Gronen purchased the Miller
Creek placer mines last year of
S. A. Moon, who had worked then
for many years. They are among
the oldest diggins'' in Idaho,
being among the discoveries whic'
made Florence famous in the ear
ly COS, the dust from which al
ways topped the market. The diff
ficulty in successfully working the
ground there is experienced
through the fineness of the gold.
Mr.. Gronen last season thorough
ly tested the sluice box methods,
having put in several hundred feet
OF boxes, but found that he did
not save large enough per cent
Of the flour gold, and decided to
mis- season install more modern
methods, and is now taking in
concentrating and amalgamating
machinery with two giants. He
owns some 220 acres five miles
northwest of Florence and extend
ing some three miles along Mil
Ter Creek. The ground tests some
thing over 40c per yard and here
is an abundant supply of water
work it throughout the entire
{, ason. With the improved ma
chinery Mr.. Gronen says the
ground can be handled for about
l0c per yard, leaving a good mar
gin of profit.
S. j. Fore of this city is also
opening up extensive placer mines
IN Meadow Creek, a few niles
east of Florence, and is expend
ing considerable money in machin-
cry and installation of impr we'd
methods for saving the fine gild,
which was given little attention
by the early day miners, who
were not equipped to preserve the
same.

ing and selling of stock for six
years and then embarked in the
mercantile business at Neodasha,
Kansas and later on, in Parsons,
Kansas. Having suffered finan-
cial losses during the panic of
1873 he withdrew from the mercan
tile business and entered the Unit
ed States marshall's office and
served as an officer for quite "a
number of years both in Kansas
and in Colorado and won an envi-
able reputation as an officer, he
having arrested during his term as
marshal some of the worst out
laws and criminals that ever har
raised the west.
Mr.. Henley served as deputy
sheriff Of Idaho county for term
Of two years and is said to have
been one Of the best officers the
the county has ever had.
Mr.. Henley was married in Al
len county, Kan, September 9th,
1867, to Miss Margaret Dudley.
To this union three children were
born, Anna B. Castle, of Grange
vile, John H. Henley of Alex, Ore
gon and Chas. F., who died in in
fancy.
Having lost his first wife by
death he was again married Jan.
1875, to Miss Martha j. Stricken,
of Rockville, Ind. To this union
five children were born. R. B.
Henley of White Bird, r. S. Hen
ley and Laura B. Martin of the
same address. j. E. Henley of
Boles, Idaho, and Katherine E..
Schwab of Spokane, Wash.
Mr.. Henley came to Idaho county
from Kansas in June, 1885 and
has since been actively engaged
in the upbuilding Of the country.
He built the first telephone line
that was ever constructed on Ca
mas Prairie, the same extending
from Mt. Idaho (Which at that
time was the county seat of Idaho
county to Lewiston. During the
Buffalo Hump excitement he was
engaged in the mercantile bust
ness and also served as the
first post master Of that camp.
For the last several years he has
been engaged in farming and
stock raising on his farm 8 miles
west of Grangeville. Mr.. Henley
being in poor health he went to
spend the winter with his son
Bert, near White Bird, thinking
the change of altitude and eli
mate would aid him to regain
his health. But it was Of no avail
and he expired at the home Of
the latter on the date above men
toned.
Mr. Henley was an honest up
right citizen whose sad demise
will be mourned by a host of
friends and relatives. He was bur-
led in the l. o. o. F. cemetery
at White Bird by the members of
that lodge he having been mem
Der of that order for about IS
years. go

BASE BALL MEETING
POSTPONED.

Owing to the landslide and the
failure of the High Line train to
reach here from Lewiston, the
meeting of the managers Of the
Lewiston and Prairie teams Sun
day night at this place, for the
purpose of organizing the league
Of teams for summer games, and
the arranging of a schedule was
postponed until next Sunday, whe
the meeting will be held at Cot
norwood. So far as the Prairie
IS concerned the delay will not
have any detrimental effect, as
the weather conditions have been
so bad as to preclude the pos
sibility of practice games up to
date, and if it continues this way
as Rev. Irl Hicks predicts 1t will,
there will be no games played in
this neck of the woods before

reverend gentleman is laboring
under an optical delusion this
time, and that the bluebird and

bingers of springtime Of the

be in evidence and that the local
spheric artists can soon begin the

MAKE RAPID
ADVANCEMENT
North East Idaho County Be-
coming one of the Most
Prosperous Sections.

Mat Shaw, editor of the KAN
lah Progress, makes this cheering
report after a trip to Woodland
and Harrisburg.
The writer after a lapse of
more than three years Saturday
last made a visit to the Wood
land and Harrisburg sections
north of Kamiah in Idaho county,
and to say the least was very
much surprised at the many i'm
provements in so short period
of time.
Leaving Kamiah early in the
morning in company with Clay
to Paris the genial proprietor of
the Notwithstanding stage
and climbing the hills on a grade
that is equal to any road leading
from the river, the writer found
himself after making several
switchbacks, on top of the hill
from which a view can be had of
the Camas and Nezperce Prairie
sections, also in the far distance
can be seen the mountains sur
rounding Buffalo Hump and
Florence mining camps on which
were yet many feet of snow that
had not begun to melt and ONE
down various creeks on its way
to the ocean. After leaving the
top farms begin to crop into view
in every direction that the eye
could glance.
"a look back into the past of
fifteen years would show to the
observer not farms and houses
but timber as far as eye could
see and that mixed with brush,
all this has disappeared and now
stands pretty homes and well
improved farms with fat cattle
blinking their lazy eyes at a
person passing by. But this has
taken years of work, and hard
work at that, as the average man
can soon see by the amount Of
stumps still standing in remote
corners where the soil cannot be
utilized at the present time.
"About three miles from the
top of hte hill at Harrisburg. At
this point which is surrounded
by splendid farms is store and
postoffice conducted by Mr.. G.. j.
Sanders where most of the neces-
sites of life can be purchased at
prices as low as any point on the
railroad. On along this same
wagon road a distance of three
miles west is Woodland, the first
post office established after the
country commenced settling and
has been handled ever since
by Uncle Isaac c. George, whose
son L. D. is now engaged in the
mercantile business at this point
and enjoying a splendid trade
from far and near.
"a word must be said in regard
to just who has been responsible
for such rapid changes through
out this section and it is safe tC
say that the lumber companie!
that have been operating in this
section have done more to furnish
capital by which all the clearing
and home buildings has beer
done, as they took timber tina
otherwise was worthless and con
v.rted it into marketable pro

chase necessaries to improve hi

Who shall live up to the great trust?
Who dares fail to try? summon all
honest men, all patriotic, all for
ward-looking men to my side. God
helping me, I will not fail them if
they will but counsel and sustain
me.' Vice President Marshall al

Washington was aglow with color

, the Citizens of Princeton

To the Citizens of Prfnceton:
My attention has been called to a.
screed which appeared over the
signature of one who terms himself
"A Taxpayer" in which I am taken
to task for introducing a bill in the
legislature prepared by a reputable
lawyer of Milaca, at the request of
citizens. of that village. "a Tax
payer1 attempts to make it appear
that the bill in question applies to
Princeton village solely. It is char
itableI to presume that "A Tax
payer' was drunk when he penned
the effusion in question, otherwise
would be forced to believe that he
is non compos mentis, for certainly
no sober Individual in his right
senses5Would ever have written such
a letter.
Even a pettifogger is presumed to
know that special legislation is pro-
hibited by the state consti tuition and
that all laws enacted, save repeating
laws, must of necessity be general
in their application.
I had labored under the impression
that Represented Milaca as we'll as
Princeton in the state legislature
Princeton is only small part of the
45th legislative district.
If the bill in question becomes a
law itImay relieve the situation in
Mi]aca and will not affect Princeton
or any other village of the state
that does not care to come under it's
provisions.
Inconclusion, I would not deign
to notice the anonymous screed
wereIit not for the fact that it is
evident the communication was
written for the sole purpose of de-
ceiving the voters of this village and
influencing their action at the ensu-
ing election. l am trying to do my
dutyaas I perceive it in the legislative
hallsof our state, trying to represent
not Only Princeton but Mile Laos
county and the 18th legislative dis
trictEEto the best Of my ability, and
trying to do the best I know how for
the entire state of Minnesota, and
that is all any man can do.
