Independence, Wis, and quietly look
ed over Grangeville and the country
surrounding, then took a tour of in
spection throughout the coast coun-
try, later returning here, represents
considerable capital in his home state.
Mr.. Schaefer after viewing conditions
has decided TO make GrangeVille hrs

Camas prairie section the most like
ly place for investment he had visit
ed anywhere. He has invested heay-
lily in the Grangevile Savings and

had extensive business experience,

assistant auditor for the VanDuzen-
Harrington Grain company. of Mime

Supt. Life Speaks Positively
About Western Unions
Arrival Here.

U. q. Life, of Salt Lake City, dis
trict superintendent of the Western
Union Telegraph company, who was In
Grangeville last week looking over
conditions, talked freely of the COM
pany's intentions, and the decided
reductions they would make In rates
to the outside world. He stated posi-
lively that as soon as the crew can
be assembled, the company will be-
gin the construction of a line from
Lewiston to Grangeville, serving en-
route all the towns on the Camas
prairie railroad. The poles carrying
the telegraph wires will be utilized.
and Mr.. Life estimates that with the
crew working in full swing, five miles
of line can be constructed daily.
AS the line reaches the various
towns enroute, the service will be in-
augurated and Grangeville will be
reached some date in November. At
this place a separate office will be
maintained, while at other points, the
office of the telegraph company will
be maintained at the railroad sta
tons. Material for the extension has
been stored at Lewiston for some
time, but actual construction has
awaited closing of details of the con
tract with the railroad company.
The company now has a line reach
ing Culdesac, which was the terminal
of the Lapwai branch of the North
ern Pacific until the Camas Prairie
road-a holding company for The
Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
built the line to Grangeyille. How
ever the new construction provides
for a second line to Culdesac. Mr..
Life explained that it was customary
for the telegraph company to follow
new railroad construction, but for
some reason the line was not carried
to the prairie when the High Line
was built and he is inclined to &C
credit the condition to the fact that
the matter was in manner over
looked because the road was built by
new company and the usual notifi
cation received by the telegraph com
pany was not given, which would
have been the case had either the
Northern Pacific or Union Pacific
directly handled the work.
The line will cost $4,000 to 81 900.
One of the rooms at the Imperial
hotel fronting Main street has been
rented for the up town office.

ANOTHER HOME TALENT PLAY.

Mrs. Ada Rose, of Portland, Ore
gon, who is here visiting with her
mother Mrs. S. E. Fore, after con
sulting with some of the local tai
ent, has decided to put on a home
talent play for the benefit of the
Christian church at this place.
The play selected for the occasion
which is entitled "a Scrap of Paper"
is said to be an excellent comedy
drama, and under the direction of
Mrs. Rose, who comes most highly
will no doubt be first
class and meet with an excellent pa
tronage. The date of the play is Fri
day, Sept. 18th, the members of
"The Friars," who had selected that
date for putting on a play, having de-
cided to postpone their entertain
ment until after Border Days.

for Border Days.

and many others who will give the
contestants for riding prizes the op-
portunity to win their titles on merit
alone.
The use of these animals insures to
Border Days not only the best string
of bucking horses, now In exhibition
world as the certainty of suitable
mounts being used at the big Grange
vile exhibition is attracting here the
best riders from all the other frontier
shows.
According to Mr.. Blancett there will
be present at Border Days a majority
of the riders who close at Pendleton
the week before, and at least ten rid
ers from the Los Angeles show.
Among those famous buckaroos who
have signified their intention of com
peting for the big Border Days prizes
are "Skeeter Bill" of Nevada, popu-
larly known as the cowboy poet, Jess
Johnson, CT klamath Falls, Billy "Bo-
hunk Nevins of Sacramento, John
Dobbins of the same place, and the
famous Johnny Tyke of Oregon.
These artists, in connection with the
champions already engaged by the
Border Days company and our local
aspirants for championship titles will
undoubtedly furnish a sensational en-
tertainment, and visitors to Border
Days are sure of thrill in each and
every number of the program.
While in Grangeville Mr.. Blancett
inspected the reconstructed Border
Days grounds and enthusiastically an
nounced that in his opinion the ar
rangement excelled that of any other
+ arena he had seen. Mr.. Whitman of
the Los Angeles Rodeo also compli-
mented the local manag cement on the
planning of the grounds and both gen.
tlemen expressed the opinion that
with the facilities afforded by the
new dlI Int pCll .
could be seen at their very best.
Both Mr.. Whitman and Mr.. Blan
cett left Tuesday morning with the
promise to return to Grangeville in
ample time for the big celebration
and both said we could look for the
biggest crowd at Border Days ever
assembled on Camas prairie.
The work of completing the ar
rangements for the music and the
down town attractions is progressing
favorably, and the management hopes
to complete all the preliminary work
within the next week. Visitors from
the outside state that Border Days LIS
the topic of interest all over this sec
ton of the country, and hundreds of
people from Washington, Oregon,
Montana and all parts of Idaho are
arranging to spend Sept. II, IS, 19
and 20 at Border Days.
The band of Mexican cattle arrived
this week and are in pasture.

SCHOOL OPENS NEXT MONDAY.

School opens next Monday morning
under unusually favorable conditions.
An excellent corps of instructors has
been secured and a spirit of unity
and harmony prevails that gives great
encouragement to the belief that this
will be an unusually successful term.
Then all feel cheerful and encourag-
ed over the fact that they are soon
to be housed in the magnificent new
school building, where there will be
every incentive, on the part of both
teacher and pupil to extra exertion.
There is every indication that there
will be an unusually large attendance
this year. There will be some chang
es in the school books this season,
and the school board has made ar
rangements to supply the same at
actual cost of laying them down at
this place, which will materially light
en- the expense of the change to the
patrons.
For the encourag of the young
men and boys who are interested in
athletics, it is hoped that the gym
nasium in the new building win be in
shape early enough in the season thai
their practicing will not be materially
retarded.
