MExICANS AFTER THEM.
Bracket Family, Formerly of White

Among the refugees who landed las
Saturday at New Orleans, driven out
of Mexico by the greaser war and the
unfriendly feeling for Americans, the
names of Mrs. Mary Bracket and son
Frank S. Bracket are mentioned by
the press dispatches. The two mem
bers of the Bracket family named
are well known here. having for years
been residents of White Bird, the
family having been numbered among
the pioneers of Idaho county. Albert
j. Bracket for a number of years
edited the White Bird Independent,
but disposed of the paper a little over
three years ago, at the same time
the mother sold the homestead and
he and two brothers, Frank 5 and
Charles, and the mother moN to
Durango, Mexico. The dispatches
make no mention of Albert and Char
les. and it is possible the one sen ac.
companied the mother to a plac" OF
safety, and the others decided TO take
their chances and stay and look after
their interests there along with the
thousands of other AmaRSaps who
have refused to bankrupt eaesns Ives
by leaving their all in the hands of
the Mexican rabble. The Globe goes
every week to Albert at Dtwaa1g0, and
we will announce to him thai his
friends In Idaho county hope they
may be able to hold their own among
the "furriners."

NEW 100000 SCHOOL HOUSE PRO.
CROSSING NICELY.

The work on the new 100000 school
building is coming on in good shape.
in spite of the fact that there has
been some delay occasioned through
the failure of the delivery of mater
ial promptly.
The inside brick work was com
menced the middle of last week three
brick layers going to work. Contrac-
tor Turner is at Lewiston today and
three or four more brick masons will
be here tonight ready to begin work
tomorrow, if the front, or face brick
are delivered for the workmen from
the Holz kiln. There has been some
delay in the delivery of the finish
brick, 1t would SEEM or more masons
would have been put on the job last
week at the time the cement work
was completed With the present fav-
orable weather conditions and plenty
of material at hand rapid progress
should be made on the structure, and
that seems to be the ambition of
Contractor Turner. the school board
and the workmen.
1t is understood that the gymnas-
ium will be completed at the earliest
possible date and the young athletes
put to work at hard training to make
up for lost time, there having been
little done in athletics since the de-
struction by fire of the old Armory
year ago last spring, in which all
basket ball contests were held. The
young boys and girls are all looking
forward with great interest and ex-
pectancy to the completion of the new
gym.

SUFFERS PARALYTIC STROKE,

James Adkison, one of the old pio-
neers of this section is now lying at
his home southwest of Grangeville in
an unconscious condition. his life
hanging in the balance. Mr.. Adkison
came in from the field Wednesday
evening a little befor six o'clock,
and was saving a log for wood when
he complained of numbness in his
hand and leg and pain in his head
He went into the house and continued
to grow worse until he became un-
conscious. DR.. Stockton was summon
ed at once and everything has been
done for him possible without favor

been over working, but had handled a
few sacks of grain during the day.
It is a plain case of paralysis and
looks like a serious case of 1t.

FELIX WARREN
WILL DRIVE
Border Days Grounds Near
Completion; Seating Done,
Stabling Almost.

Doc Denny was advised by telegram
this week that Felix Warren, the old
time stage driver, reputed to be the
greatest whip" and sixin-hand reiis
Border Days and will give daily ex-
hibitions of old time stage driving at
the grounds and on the streets.
Felix Is known all over the Pacific
northwest, having in years past en-
gagged in hot contests for supremacy
in the driving arena, with the verg
best reinsmen produced on the Pacif-
ic coast, and has never yet been best
ed, but came through with flying col
ors. He Is known to every old timer
throughout north Idaho and the In
land Empire, most of whom have at
some time taken a flying leap with
him down the Uniontown hill to Lew
iston or over Craig Mountain to
Grangeville, before the railroad en-
gine hah ever sounded a note of
alarm in this great empire, and any
of them will travel many miles to see
inimitable figure eight curves with
a Concord stage and six within the
limits of Main street. 1t is also pro-
posed that an exhibition of the man
ner of breaking in new horses as driv
ers in case of emergency in early
days of stage driving be given-wild
unroped horses being thrown into the
team and driven each day. Felix tele
graphed on be with you without
fail"
Foreman Vansise announces that the
seating at the Border Days grounds
has been completed and that the
stabling for the exhibition horses
will all be done this week ready for
occupancy. AS the time for the great
show to be put on draws near things
are assuming a readiness that is most
gratifying to the management as well
as the public.
/ Five hundred cots are being got in
readiness by Manager Denny, and
bedding is also being ordered by
him. But that will be but drop in
the bucket with the crowd that will
be in attendance, and every citizen
is urged to take hold of this sleep
ing proposition and lend every assis-
tance possible. We should do our
selves proud on this occasion.

ROAD
OWNED BY HILL
Mystery Solved, N. P. Con-
fesses Ownership to Secre-
tary of State.

If there is still any doubt in the
minds of any as to the ownership and
control of the once mysterious rail-
road known as the Gilmore & Ptts
burg which built from Armstead, Mon
tana, to Salmon, the metropolis of
Lemhi county, it must be dispelled
for the annual financial statement OF
the Northern Pacific railway company

and made use of by the state board
of equalization at Boise in equalis-
ing the valuations of that road for
assessment purposes. discloses the
fact that that company and railroad
holds most of the securities Of the
Gilmore & Pittsburg. This would
bear out the claim that the mytesr-
ious railroad is part of the Hill sys-
TEN and eventually will be extended
into new territory as part of the Nor
thern Pacific railroad.

BIG HOLSTEIN SALE.

w. H. Ralph. the Nez Perce auc-
tioneer, was in town last Friday and
over Sunday, looking after a sale or
two which will soon come up. Mr..
Ralph, like all others who are travel
ing about where they can catch the
public sentiment, says Border Days is
the absorbing topic these days where
ever he goes, and that Grangeville
Will surely see the record crowd in
its history, from Sept. II to 20. He
insists that Grangeville has the op-
portunity in this event to make a
great name If only the people who
come are given the proper traetment
and go away satisfied with our hos
pitality-he has no fears as to the
character of attractions they will be
treated to, he says. there are none
better. Mr.. Ralph greatly regrets
that he has a big sale of pure bred
Holstein cattle set on the date OF
border Days at Spokane, and he can
not figure out just now how he can
avoid having the dates conflict.

M. n. eAULcH COUNCILMAN.

At meeting of the city council on
Tuesday evening of this week M. II.
Baulch was unanimously elected as
councilman from the second ward to
take the place of Charles Stuttleberg,
who recently removed to Pocatello.
A petition, signed by nearly every
man, woman and child in the ward
was presented to the council asking
that Mr.. Baulch be appointed but
simply the suggestion of the name
would have been sufficient, for there
was no dissenting opinion on the mat
tre of his election to the vacancy.
Charlie Thompson was appointed to
the police force by Mayor Sims, two
policemen not bieng considered suf-
ficient as the increasing business of
Border Days comes on. AS the time
approaches additions to the force will
be made as necessity requires, it be-
ing the unanimous sentiment that the
police force must be adequate to cope
with the unusual conditions which will
naturally arise through the influx of
strangers of all kinds during Border
Days; in fact 1t is understood that
the conditions are at hand now, and
must be met.

SCHOOL CONDITIONS PLEASING.

The opening of school ON Monday
found $50 high school and grade pu
pills present. This is few more than
last year. Some grades are fuller
than last year and others have less
enrolled. The first grade is very full.
Forty-eight beginners are present and
ten who attneded last year This is
an exceptionally larg ebeginning class
The high school enrolment is twenty
one more than it was for the same
time last year or is more than one
third larger, there being now "A in at
tendance. This will doubtless soon
reach 80.
The previous years have promised
much In the way of a good school but
this year is promising more than for
several years past. The attitude of
the teachers is the very best, their
enthusiasm Is all that could be wish
ed and there is no doubt about their
preparation for the work. The spirit
of the pupils of the entire school is
exceptionally good. There seems to
be something in the air. Perhaps it
is the new building which is going
up. At least it is certain that it is
genuine school spirit. 1t has been
many years since as large and enthus
iastic a group of high school pupils
came together in Grangeville. They
are giving every evidence of their
earnestness. They mean to do their
work we'll and to enjoy it, too.
An orchestra has been organized
and practice begun under the direc-
ton of Miss Gwinn. Next week a
glee club will begin its practice
After Border Days work in basket ball
will be taken up. 1t is hoped that a
literary society can soon be organiz-
ed and thus keep the intellectual and
athletic activities of school life &C
tive.

GUARANTEE TO THE. BUYER
Advertising by Merchants Assures
Prospective Customer That He
Will Receive Value for Money.
BY Seth w. Ward.

Of what value is an advertisement
to the customer? We are all con-
sumers, so we are all interested in
advertising from this viewpoint. Why
should you trade with the merchant
who advertises? Why should you
buy product on which the manufac-
turer has fixed an advertised trade
mark?
1t is true that the advertisements
that you see serve as bulletin or di-
rectory. They tell you where certain
goods may be bought and save you
the trouble Of hunting for them. They
inform YOU CT new inventions as they
appear. Often they tell you of prac-
tical uses of the advertised article
that had never occurred to you be-
fore.
But advertising means more than
this to you. There is better reason
than these for buying from the adver-
-fiser. = Advertising is guarantee to
the buyer. When merchant signs
his name to an advertisement or when
a manufacturer stamps his advertised
trademark on his product he must
make good his claims for your pat
ronage.
Those who advertise know that In
this period of keen competition the
cost of selling You an article fer the
first time is SC great that no profit
is left. Often a merchant really loses
money in order to bring you into his
store. He realizes if his business is
to be a success you rlst return and
make other purchases from him. And
only through satisfactory service and
meritorious goods can be win these
repeat purchases.
In building up n great business a
merchant or a manufacturer invests
enormous sums of money in advertis-
ing. If the article that he sells to
you by this means meets with your
approval, and you buy again, then his
investment brings returns and his
business is success. If not, then
all is lost.
So by advertising, the merchant
proves his own faith in the goods
that he has to sell. Every dollar that
he spends il advertising is ct stake
a guarantee to you of quality and
service.
That is what advertising means to
you, the consumer-that is where 1t
Is of real value to you. Merit is
never a matter of chance when you
buy from the merchant who adver-
tises-it cannot be- And that is one
thing that impresses me about adVer-
tising.

Better Goods Demanded.

One of the greatest causes Of the
high cost of living is the increasing
tendency of people to buy the better
class of goods.
IF you want great bargain in a
hammer gun," said one of an adnan s
acquaintances, go down to R,
where they are offering some very
good hasmer guns at rock-bottom
figures, just because most people want
a hammerless these days."
The advertising man wanted gun
and he went down to see the bar
gains. They were bargaira, too-no
doubt about that But the marked
down hammer guns did not have the
fine finish; they did not have, that su-
perior look. The advertising man put
them down and asked for new gun
of well-known make-high priced, but
having the thoroughbred look in every
line.
He put it to his shoulder; he fon-
died it. No; he didn't buy bargain
gun. Though he hunted but little he
wanted a high-priced gun for that
little, and he set his heart on it.
Whether the gun selected is worth
three OF four times the price Of the
bargain guns is open to question, but
It's advertising and it's fine finish
make it seem so, and that is what
counts.
