DELEGATION FROM Sites.

Quite number of Sites business

called here on various business missions
County Commissioner Pettibone came

master of the Gem City, has affairs to

try was something fierce,' close to

LICENSES START EVEN.

Regarding the announcement last
week to the effect that the local saloons
would be closed last Saturday, j. M.
Gilmore, city attorney, has authorized
the following, which explains why the
places were permitted to remain open
on that day:
1.-THE city licenses in Grangeville ex-
pired at midnight on the 9th. The
county licenses for the four saloons in
Grangeville expired at midnight on the
10th Of January, but through an error
the council gained the impression that
both city and county licenses expired on
the 9th. Under that impression the au-
thorities issued the statement that the
saloons would be closed Saturday last,
but later, when the erroneous reading
of the licenses had been corrected, it
was decided, inasmuch as the proprie-
tors of the saloons had already paid in
their license money for the new year, to
observe the period of validity of the
county licenses. These expired at mid
night Saturday and the saloons were
not permitted to open until noon Mon
day when the new licenses, both city
and county, went into force and
effect.''

The Edwardsburg prospectors have
asked for a primary to be held at the
Edwardsburg post office that they may
elect delegate to send to the county
convention. Never before has there
been much interest taken in county af-
fairs but just at present with the pro-
mise of activity during the coming year
the men feel they should see that Ed
wardsburg gets the recognition due
from the county officials. Too little is
known of real conditions here by the
law makers and better spirit may be
engendered by getting together. The
postoffice at Edwardsburg is the only
public building in the district and is

tigation is Rumor- Almost Dozen
Divorce Cases to be Heard

With over so cases on the calendar
the January, 1914, tie rm of the district
court convenes at the court house. next
Monday morning.
Judge Edgar c. Ste eele and Court Re-
porter Hodge will arr i've the last of the
week in time to be on deck when the
justice mills begin to grind. Although
the calendar appears heavier than usual
it is said to be quite likely that many
OF the cases will not involve any great
amount of time and session more brief
than that OF last fall is anticipated. 1t
is also probable, it is said, that several
eases, for various rea sons, may be con-
tinued over until the next term.
Dearing Case to be Heard.
The most important criminal case
is that of James Dearing the young man
20 years of age who is held on charge
of murder in the first degree for the al
legged killing of his uncle, George Dear
ing, near Mt. Idaho, last summer. Ru-
NOR has it that grand jury will be
called tor the sole y lrpose of investi-
eating this case.
Tom Lindsey, an Indian, faces
charge of assault witt deadly weapon
for his alleged participation in an al
tercation in the city during Border
Days last year. Hubert Buckingham
is charged with grand larceny and
George B. Mead is to be tried for al

The new building was visited by hun
dreds of townspeople Sunday afternoon
and universally approved.
Have Public Opening.
1t is quite probable that formal pro-
gram in observance of the opening of
the schoolhouse will be arranged and
the public invited to participate in the
affair. The auditorium like the remain
der of the building is practically com
pleted, excepting the installation of the
seats and the stage fixtures and scenery
of plays and other forms of theatricals
are being planned for presentation
there. The seating capacity of the au-
ditorium, which boasts of spacious
balcony, is placed at approximately 900.
The stage is adequate for all high
school plays and entertainments and is
to be fitted with thoroughly modern
new scenery and fixtures.
Practically all the rooms, % in num-
Der, are ready for the finishing touches
Definite announcement regarding the
opening will be made within week
or two as soon as the members Of the
board, Superintendent Rice and others
interested can complete the details.

Idaho County Claims Worlds
Record Mountain Goat Head

Der by Madison Grant Comparison OF
the measurements of the two sets of
horns shows that the Idaho county
head is the larger. 1t is said to be
worth approximately $500 and several
museums of the east have made over
lures to the owner to purchase it.
British Columbia may rival Idaho
county in some respects, possibly, but
the claim that the goat head bagged by
Grant is the largest in the world is
without foundation when the dimen-
sions of the Edwards head of horns are
brought to light. And we refuse to let
the north country get our goat with
such an absurd boast as that.
World record goat heads are not the
only kind of wild game curious collect
ed in Idaho county either, by the way.
Recently Albert Hen Messy shot large
silver gray fox near his cabin on Logan
creek flat. The pelt is said to be worth
$1,000 and as furries have asserted for
years that the skins of fur bearing
animals from this part Of Idaho are the
richest and most beautiful in the north
west, it appears tnat Hennessy has
made lucky shot indeed.
| And so, having disproved the goat
claim, Idaho county is foxy enough to
bid for still greater honors. !.

DEATH OF M. H. RICE.

H. M. Rice, one of the oldest of
Idaho county pioneers, died last week
at his home near Kamiah after an ill
ness of several weeks. Mr.. Rice first
came to Idaho county in 1861. He was
7s years of age at the time of his death.
He was the father of seven children, his
wife and one child dying several years
ago. The remaining children, three
boys and three girls survive him, as do
also five brothers, Charles, Russ, James,
Frank and John, and four sisters, three
of whom reside in Oregon. Mr.. Rice
settled on farm near Grangeville in
1871. Always kind man, ready to
help a friend in need and to shoulder
his share of life's burdens, he built up
friendship through his long residence
that will endure forever among those
who knew him. The funeral was held
Friday and burial was had at Mt. Idaho

Darts from Dams bow, which, they
tell as, is be-decked with blue baby
ribbon and perfumed with Florida
water, landed kerplunk in over two
hundred hearts in the county last year.
At least there were 10S marriage IL
censes issued which warrants the as
sumption that Dan fired upon about
twice that many lovers effectively.
The divorce evil has batting aver
age of only 81 such cases started in
the district court during the year. Of
that number a few are yet hanging fire
but these will probably be disposed of
during the approaching term of court.

The following letter from Mr.. and
Mrs. F. J.. Fassnacht who are now at
Roseburg, Oregon, will be of interest to
their many friends here:
1--WE are very comfortable situated
in this city of 5000 or 1000 souls and
as the winter is mild, owing to absence
of high wind, ice and snow and being
at an altitude of 4s7 feet, we have ex-
perienced great improvement in
health. There are many cloudy, gloomy
days and yet the atmosphere is balmy
and exhilarating. We find it restful
and soothing to jaded nerves.
