YGISIT ABERDEEN, IDAHO

We, the Undersigned, do hereby
substantiate all statements made
in the Aberdeen Valley investment
Company's literature, and by it's
representatives and believe they are
very conservative. After making
q trip of inspection we found
Aberdeen, Idaho, md the surround
ping country far beyond our ex.
pectations.
The hotel which is represented
as ten thouasnd dollar structure
in the Company's literature is
much better than represented and
we do not think that it could he
constructed for less than fifteen
thousand dollars by any company.
We travelled over miles of the
farming section and found it two
years in advance of what we ex-
pected. The farmers all look pros
porous anu have flrst class farm
residences and buildings necessary
for their business. In place of the
sage-brush which originally cover
ed this land some four or five
years ago. we found thousands of
acres of cultivated lands.
1t is the best new proposition in
the farming line or townsite deal
that we have ever seen and recon-
med the investment to our best
friends and to any one that wishes
to make quick money.

II. S. Taber
Clerk.

Rufus Seifers, saleman for the
Salt Lake Hardware Company, is
spending the week at home with
his family. Mr.. Seifers has re-
sided in Elko ever since he went on
the road for his company. He is of
the opinion that business conditions
arc better today than they have
been since the panic of 1907. He
is IN position to guage the finan-
cial situation as we'll perhaps as
any other commercial traveller in
the State. He is going down to
Lynn in a day or two to sell tents
and other supplies. While there he
will probably make a careful in
spection of the new camp.
The following message is a sort
of jollification over the passage of
the road bill which is of such vital
interest to Elko.

JAMES M. ADDISON, DECEASED.

James NJ AdkiSon, who was strick-
en- with paralysis on last Wednesday
at his home west of town, passed
away at O'Clock Saturday morning
without having regained conscious
ness. Thus another one of Idaho
county's old pioneers and respected
citizens has passed to the bourn
whence no traveller returns, missed
and mourned by all who knew him.
Deceased was a good neighbor and
citizen, and of his immediate family
he leaves a wife and two adopted
children who mourn his loss with al
most irreconcilable grief.
Deceased came to Idaho county in
1871 with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Elijah Ahkison, who have since pass
ed away, and brothers John r., FL
mer c., Douglas and George w, and
sister, Mrs. Ellen Smith, all of whom
survive him. John r. and the de
ceased brother Were volunteers in
the Indian war of 1877
James NJ. Adkison was sixty years
of age at the time of his death, and
was a member of the Christian church
at this place. Just before he became
unconscious he called his family about
him and told them that he felt that
he was hearing the end that he had
always done his best by them and his
fellow man, and that he wished low
ingly to admonish them to live good,
pure, honorable lives, and to remeI
ber him for what he had tried to do
in life. He then passed into uncon-
sciousneSs.
The funeral sermon was preached
at the home by Rev. VanSlyke, C.
t. Mcdonald also making a brief
but feeling address. The interment
took place Sunday at o'clock in
Prairieview cemetery in the east part
of town, there being a large attend

PRESENTS CITY WITH ANOTHER
FOUNTAIN.

The city of Grangeville and the
general public are under obligations
to Mrs. Frank VanDeventer for the
generous donation of third sanitary
drinking fountain, which will orna-
ment the Imperial Hotel corner, and
may we'll be named The Last Chanc
Fountain" as it is the last chance
for a drink of our excellent mountain
springs water after leaving Main
street until the Border Days grounds
are reached. This Is the third foun-
tain to be installed in our progress
siVe little city, and is the counter
part of the first two which were put
in by the Draper Club. These three
drinking fountains, together with two
drinking places which the city coun-
Gil has ordered put in for horses, will
certainly supply in a most liberal
manner the needs of both man and
beast, in the way of natures nectar.
1t is well to note that the ladies are
at the bottom of this good work.

VanDeventer's present to the city.

IDAHO COUNTY
LEVY FIXED
County Board In Session
This Week Fixed the Tax
Rate at $1.15 This Year.

At the tax rate fixed by the board
of commissioners In session here the
first Of this week there will be very
little difference In the amount of the
Individual tax this year and last, and
that difference Is due to the new law
recurring that counties make suffic-
lent levies to take care Of all the
debts other than those represented
by the authorized bond issues.
The levy fixed by the board for
Idaho county for all purposes is $1.15
ON the 500 at the full cash value.
Last year the rate was $2.75 on the
500 which represented only 40 per
cent of the real value of the property
assessed.
The county levy LIS divided as fol-
lows: Current expnese. "a; general
road, .O35; bridge, .005; school, .23;
redemption, .38; total .89.
The state levy Is divided as fol-
lows: State general fund, 1928; pub
lie building and endowment fund,
ole; general interest and sinking
fund, .21 total for both state and
county, $1.15.
The Idaho county realty this year
Is assessed at a valuation of $12,436,-
$3.50, as against $11 1,517 PA last
year; and the value of the personal
property, the rolls of which have not
yet been completed, is estimated at
100000.
The valuation of the railroad lines
Is fixed as follows: Clearwater brancl
$4,000 per mile; Camas Prairie line,
$4,000 per mile.

FOREST SERVICE MAKING MANY
IMPROVEMENTS.

Supervisor George Ring of the for
est service, and a good force of as
SiStants have been out since July in
the national forest improving trails
and repairing and putting in phone
lines. They have rewired the line
from Adams to Moores, and are now
completing the new phone line be-
tween Elk City and Dixie, a distance
of 16 miles, which will be in working
condition soon. This will later be
built on to Buffalo Hump and other
points now without phone connection.
J. Arthur Brown, OF the local for
est service, and G. H. Adams, of
Missoula, Mont, chief of the grazing
department, returned Sunday from
lengthy tour of the Nez Perce nation
al forest, where they inspected the
grazing lands and classified them.
They went out up the Salmon river
TO Pollock, and looked over the Sal
mon Snake divide range, going from
there to Buffalo Hump and on over
to the Montana line east of Elk City,
thus taking in a vast scope of terri
tory. They report conditions very
favorable in the stock line as well as
the grazing.

NO MERClAL CLUB LUNCH
EON NEXT WEEK.

1t was decided at the meeting at
the Imperial Hotel Wednesday that
the regular Wednesday Commercial
Club luncheon would be postponed
next week, owing to the fact that
that will be the opening day Of Bor-
der Days and the hotel will be crowd
ed to its full capacity and will have
no tables to spare for the extra
spread; besides everybody will be too
busy seeing the sights to want to en-
gage in a formal dinner.

ADAMS MAIL ROUTE.

At the Commercial club luncheon

chairman protein, w, w, Brown, ap-
pointed a committee composed of c.
A. Bransc ombe, H. E. Heppner and
Frank VanDeventer to gather data re-
garding the matter and draw up reso-
lutions covering the grounds to be
sent in to Washington by the Com
mercial club, urging the establish
ment of this mail route. There is no
doubt about the need of such route,
and it is estimated that something
like 100 persons would be served by
the same, extending even as far into
the mountains as Florence. The mat
ter will be presented to the depart
ment through the good offices OF SEN
ator Borah, who has already had the
matter up in the interest of the mail

RAID GAMBLING PLACES.

The sheriff's office and the city
forces got busy last Saturday night
and raided the saloons and billiard
halls of the city in search of the
quiet game which is forbidden by the
statutes of the state of Idaho, and
succeeded in corraling seven Of the
local boys and captured quite a
quantity of the goods which goes with
the game, some of which was of a
superior quality. However, no claim
ant has put in an appearance for the
finest out fit captured, which was
taken from an unoocupied residence
IN the south part Of the city. There
were no games found in any of the
saloons.
1t has been known for several days
that a number of the outside gentry
had been quietly dropping in and get
ting themselves established in good
shape for Border Days, and it was
In hopes of landing a number of those
gentlemen that the officers made the
move they did. 1t is known that a
number of the pasteboard artists who

may answer just as we'll. This ad
vent Of all kinds nf pamactarc opd
sharps can naturally be expected In
pulling off a show which attracts as
many people as Border Days, and the
officers made this preliminary raid
to clear the decks for action before
the real bunch appears on the scene
and has to be looked after. The hear
ing of the boys taken In the first on
slaught is set for today.

HE WINGED TWO OF THEM.
Sites Citizen Fills Two Compa Mons
Full of Shot While Hunting.

While Messrs. Skedgell and Petit,
two of Sites merchants, and Barney
Jones, the barber, were out ON Cotton
wood creek last Sunday hunting
grouse. Petit crossed to the opposite
side of the creek in search of game.
and little later fired his gun load
ed with No. 8 shot at bird sailing
across the creek, and from the yells
OF his companions ON the opposite
side he knew at once that his aim
had been true. There is no account
given of what became of the grouse,
but the physician testifies that Jones
received some seventy leaden pellets
In his anatomy from the waist line
down, while Skedgen escaped with a
lesser number in the upper part of
the body. The wounded men were
taken home and DR.. VerberKmoes, of
kooskia has since been busy extract
Ing the shot. While not considered
dangerous the wounds are painful,
and the extracting of the shot is
made much more of a job than shoot
Ing them in. The two sufferers are
quoted as saying that they had no
Idea that SO many shot could be
crowded into one shell as they sue
ceeded in stopping; and that in the
hands of a skillful operator like Pet
ut they cannot understand how a bird
ever escapes with any feathers on it.
1t is but fair to state here that
The man who made the remarkable
record with the shotgun, is not Clar-
ence Petit, the ex-Grangevillian, who
moved to Sites some months ago and
engaged in the plumbing business.

MARKED INCREASE IN n. s.

Still the enrolment in both the
grades and the high school is on the
increase. Never before has there been
a high school in Grangeville as large
as the present one. Eighty one pu-
pills are now enrolled and there is
no doubt but that this will soon reach
ninety. The freshmen class now num-
bers over forty and only once in the
as large a bunch of freshmen. In the
senior class there are sixteen as COM
pared with nine last year. 1t is worth
keeping in mind that one-half the high
school enrolment is boys This is
somewhat different from the usual
high school which has a predomin-
ance of girls. 1t Is as it should be
when there Is about an equal number
OF boys and girls.
For about six weeks there will be
half day sessions of the first grade
This was necessary since the enroll
ment, being so large, contained so
many beginners. OF the sixty enroll.
ed, forty-eight were beginners. With
such a large number unfamiliar with
the ways of school, it was found al
most impossible to accomplish any
thing, since they all required individ-
ual attention. The number of pupils
does not justify the employment of
another teacher and besides, it is
very doubtful whether a beginning pu
Pill can learn any more in day than
he can in a half day. Some of the
parents are glad this change is made
as they believe it will be best for the
health OF their children. In about six
weeks, or as soon as the pupils be-
come familiar with the ways of school,
the two sections will be combined
again. BY that time too, bad weath-
er will have caused some dropping off
in attendance so that the grade will
be about normal +**

town, died at Lewiston Thursday at
the age of 21 years, from heart
trouble. The remains will be brought
