Electric Line to Asotin

Lewiston, Idaho, Jan. 14.-F. l..
,Sturm, who has secured franchises
for the operation of an electric line
in Lewiston and Charleston has asked
for a franchise over Asotin county
roads. The franchise was presented
to the county commissioners of Aso-
tin county on January 6, and the
final hearing set for February IL.
The line as indicated by the fran
chise gives a very effective service
for Vineland and Charleston Heights.
In presenting the matter to the COM
missioners the statement was r. ade
by Mr.. Sturms' attorney that the
line to Asotin would probably be
undertaken as soon as the construc-
ton in Lewiston and Charleston was
begun, and thai the main trunk line
was so laid out as to give the best
service to the district and to enable
the Charleston Heights to be reached
at a minimum expense. Both the
county and town of Asotin franchises
provide for operation within eight
cen months, while the Lewiston and
Charleston franchises provide for op-
Grafton by Aug. /, 1918.

ware company are in Spokane this
week taking in the Hardware Con-

as usual from the fact that the roads
are in such condition from the west
and other parts of the Inland En-

ODD FELLOWS AND
REBEKAHS ENTERTAIN
Annual Roll Call and Ban
quet-Excellent Pro-
gram

Saturday evening the annual roll
call for the Odd Fellows lodge and
Rebekah order of this city was held.
About 125 were present. The pro-
gram was we'll arranged, the Ken
drick orchestra furnished some ex-
cellent music, after which several
names were called and those who
were present responded to the call.
Mr.. Compton and his sister then re-
sponded with music by the violin
and piano, after which the roll call
came for the Rebekahs and the
ladies answered in turn. When in
the middle Of this call Miss Jessie
Grinolds sang a solo. When the
roll call was finished another solo
was sang by James Millison. After
the program was over those present
were then taken to the banquet room
where the ladies had spread the
table with all the good things to eat
that one could ask for. Amongst
the articles of food on the tables
was found some wild ducks which
were fine and it was decided that N.
c. Thomas was a good marksman
for he had killed them, as it was
supposed, and not a shot had en-
tered the body of any of them. One
thing that was noticeable was that
some of the cakes were surely good
as the two big Bills" in the crowd
tried to see which could eat the most
of them. After everyone had salts
fled the longings of the inner man
they returned to the lodge room
where the remainder of the evening
was spent in playing games of vari-
.ous kinds. 1t was learned the next
morning that some of the members
that had come without their wives
forgot how late it was until the
morning sun was seen climbing up
over the hill. In fact it was one of
the most enjoyable events of the
season. The Rebekahs and wives
of Odd Fellows are to be compli-
mented upon the feast that was
served. The members who are al
ways in attendance at the regular
meetings of the order request that
the other members turn out more
and make every meeting as pleasant
as the one last Saturday evening.

How Deep Was The Snow?

Estimates greatly differ in regard
to the depth of the recent snow fall.
One man will declare upon his oath
and past record for truth and verac-
ity that we had only ID inches of
snow. His neighbor just across the
road, who is also a truthful man, a
good judge of poor whiskey and a
close observer of weather conditions
and other things in general, includ-
ing his neighbor's chicken house and
wood shed. states emphatically that
there was at least 18 inches of snow.
At last. but not least, here comes
the old pioneer, who has lived in
this community nigh on to 30 years.
and who in all this time never seen
so much snow. Well, to be sure,
he knows how much snow there
was. There was exactly 81 inches,
cause he measured it with a stick
'afore it was shoveled off the cellar
door. and Mary Ann she said there
was about that much on top of the
old rain barrel we used last summer.
And there you are. But the man
who used the shovel last Sunday
comes pretty near knowing about
how deep the snow was in his i'm
mediate vicinity. We believe G. P.
Barnum or E. c. Hardison could
give fair estimate.

looked after.
There should be a fence put
around the grounds, or a hitch
rack. something that will be Of
service and will at the same
time prevent wagons and other
vehicles from crossing and re-
crossing the grounds causing
bitches to wash out and creating
a necessity of spending money
later on to have them filled up.
This work should be done be-
fore the weather gets too cold.
The Mothers club has done a
great deal of splendid improve

hearty support of the entire
community in every effort they
put forth in the Improvement
line. We understand they have
some more valuable improve
ments under advisement and
will likely make another effort
soon to add &c their already good
work. Rally to their support.

good and need your assistance.

There is a continual cry for
more sidwalks, and the repeated
reply comes from the city that
their funds will not permit the
building of any more walks at
this time. So it seems that we
are up against stump for the
present. However, there should
be some way of remedying the
matter and get better accommo-
dations along this line.
The recent continued wet
weather has proven beyond
doubt that there is a great nec-
essity for a continuous walk
from the school building across
Broadway at least. The people
from the north part of the city
have great difficulty in getting
across this main street when il
is wet weather. 1t has recently
been graded and is soft and
when it rains one cannot cross
il without begging down over
the shoetops. There should be
an effort made TO put some
crossings in anyway, whether or
not the sidewalks are built. This
would be a great convenience to
the school children.

2 KILLED At SEYMOUR
Farmer Shoots Sheriff and ex-
Sheriff at Seymour
Last tuesday.

Seymour, Tex, Oct. q. For
mer Sheriff A. l.. Board. was
shot and instantly killed, t. j.
Bruce. his Stay er, was killed and
Sheriff w. X. Ellis was fatally
wounded here this morning.
Constable Ben Bickers. of Stam-
ford, who was with Sheriff
Ellis, was the only one Dartici-
pating in the shooting who es-
capped unhurt.
The only explanation Of the
affair that can be found is that II
grew out of the killing of Bruce's
brother ten years ago by Board
and deputy sheriff in attempt
ing to arrest him on Wagon
creek.
Bruce shot Board at the head
OF the stairway of the First
National Bank building. As
sheriff Ellis advanced upon him
at the foot of the stairway he
shot Ellis through the body.
Ellis jumped behind a telephone
pole and began shooting at
Bruce. Bickers also opened
fire Bruce was dead when his
body was reached. Board was
81 years'old and Bruce 90. Both
leave families.
