COUNTY SPELLING CONTEST
VERY SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR
Large Attendance and Deep Interest Shown Spite of the
Inclement Weather--Four Prizes Awarded
Contestants.

Third extra prize of $500
Nora Brown. Oliver school 9Th.
grade, missed two words.
1t was not learned until too
late after the contest that Harold
Simon and Nora Brown had tied
for the third place, each having
missed two words, and it was ther
decided to give each a prize of
$500.
George Anderson, of Tahoe, rode
35 miles horseback in the storm
and over bad roads to participate
in the match, and a gentleman who
appreciates pluck of the right sort
rewarded him with $500 to pay
his hotel bill while here.
1t is thought by the teachers
that the contest will have a ten
dency to stimulate the pupils of
the county to greater effort to
improve their spelling, and in the
next contest it is possible the
more advanced pupils will be
required to participate. Follow

schools represented who took part

FIELDS MAKES
GRAVE CHARGE
Latah Senator Declares I'm.
proper use of Money in
Brady's Election.

Moscow dispatches of last week
sent out startling statement at
the hands of George Fields of
that place, editor of the Post
and senator-elect from Latah
county, in which grave charges
are made regarding the improper
use of money in the election of
Ex- Gov. Brady to the position OF
short term U. S. senator. The ar
ticle was a first page feature in
the Boise Statesman and also ap-
peared in the Spokesman-Review.
The dispatch said:
estate Senator George Fields
of Latah county, who has just re-
turned from the twelfth session
of the Idaho legislature, in an ad-
dress before the Moscow chamber
of commerce today vigorously de-
nounced the election of United
States Senator James II. Brady
and declared that money had been
improperly used to accomplish
such result. Senator Fields said
he wished it to be understood that
he expected to stand by the asser'
tions he made now and in the fu
ture.
Il am saying this deliberately
and expect to abide by whatever
consequences may follow. We hae
as well be plain about this matter
and the good people of Idaho
had as well and better realize nov
that we are absolutely dominated

Idaho and expect eventually Il
have and control all public stat

more in evidence in this session

will be more aggressive in the fu

thrill of sympathy and touching
appreciation of an event of this
kind, in which two kindred spir-

years of separation in which
memory has kept green the life

& POWER
CO. TO EXPAND
Local Company to Cover
Country to Orofino; Also
Home improvements.

Manager Is. GuStad of the
Grangeville Electric Light & Pow
er company, left Wednesday Of
this week for Nez Perce, Kamiah
and Orofino, to close up a deal
whereby his company becomes
owner of the electric plants and
franchises at those three points,
including the Nez Perce Water
Works and the Lolo Creek power
plant near that place.
The local company has been ex-
tending its field of operations un-
til it now supplies the lighting
for Cottonwood, and on out to
Vollmer-Ilo and Dublin. From
Dublin it will only have to cover
few miles of territory to connec
with the Nez Perez line. Mr.. Gus
tad says the company is planning
to extend its lines in circle in
Guiding Sites, Kooskia, Kamiah
and Orofino, and back by way Of
Nez Perce, lilo Vollmer and Cot
tonwood, to Grangeville, thus
forming a perfect circuit. With
this kind of a circle should the
line break at any given point the
service would not be impaired at
any of the towns on the line, as
they could be reached from one
end or the other and there would
be no break in the lighting, as
there is on straight line
service. This will be a great ad-
vantage to both the company and
the patrons and will certainly be
appreciated by the public.
Improve Local Water Works.
But the news that will rejoice
the Grangeville citizens the most
is Mr.. Gustad's statement to the
Globe reporter that his company
intends beginning work on the
Improvement of the Grangeville
water system just as soon as
weather conditions will permit,
and that the system will practic-
ally be made over before the
force of men is called off.
In addition to the two reser-
voirs just south of town which
have afforded the entire water
supply for our city, there will be
a large reservoir put in up next
to the foothills, with an immense
conductor pipe, which will be
used for fire purposes and can be
connected with the present reser
volrs or shut off al pleasure An
other reservoir will be put in at
the site owned by the company
at the city limits in the southwest
part of town, and will be used ex
clusively to supply water for
that portion of the city.
A greater portion Of the old
piping will be torn up and new
and larger pipes laid From the
reservoir at the foothills II inch
piping will be used connecting di-
rectly with the business portion of
the city, and giving a pressure
, of 80 pounds for fire fighting,
. greater pressure than any of the
towns in the Inland Empire can
at present boast. With these
: improvements in our water supply
2 and a little additional outlay in
| fire apparatus, Grangeville will
: be one of the best protected
t towns in northern Idaho, and
instead of a raise in insurance,
as was recently made, there should
be a material reduction. So far tn
present company has fulfilled its
e promises of Improvements in its
I electric light plant, and there il
: no reason to doubt that it will give
!, us one of the best water systems
e in the country, as it has beer
