GRANGEvILLE FIGHTERS AND A
LOAD OF TOOLS LEFT GRANGE
VILE THURSDAY AT II P.
M.-REACH FIRE AT $3.50
NEXT MORNING.

Last week when we went to press we
were unable to get many particulars OF
the fire over in the Joseph plains coun-
try as the boys who went out to fight
fire and to take tools over we're SO
busy getting the fire under control that
they had no time to spare to even go
to the nearest phone and send the
news in. They came in the latter part
of last week and gave a good account
of the fire which shows some good work
with splendid results, saving a big loss.
The fire started on Wednesday some
where in the neighborhood of Burntout
creek, commonly called "Billy-be-
damned" creek and handful of resi-
dents over in that country by hard
fighting thought they had it under con-
troll for a while by backfiring but it
jumped over the line it was soon seen
that more help was needed to put it
under control. Then it was that the
call for help was sent out.
Grangeville, Cottonwood and White
bird responded to the call, Grangeville
sending load Of tools to fight the
fire and men also. The crowd already

ties to be Held Here.

The school term of l9l4-15 will open
on September 14th. This is week
later than the date first set. The
change was made largely because Of the
conflict with Border Days. 1t is known
that many pupils would not start until
after Border Days and besides, if school
should begin on the 7th there would be
a loss in school time because of holi-
day which would propably be demand
ed.
From the standpoint of school pros
poets, no year in the history OF Grange
Vile looks brighter. Is not this the
first year in thoroly modern and new
building, splendidly equipped for all
kinds of school workf The library,
laboratories and other school equipment
is up-to-date and we need not make
apologies to any school in the state.
The patrons of the school are to be
much congratulated on the school plant
which has been constructed and furnish

you MAY REGISTER AT POLLS.

While the new registration laws pro-
vide that no registration can be taken
by any regular registration officer for
a period Of thirty days next preceding
any election, it will be Of interest to
any voter who failed to register before
the expiration of this period, to know
that the said registration laws pro-
vides a method Of registering voters
on the day of election, this being done
before an election judge at the regular
polling places of any precinct; the fol-
lowing quotation from said registra-
ton laws make the procedure under this
method plain:
"Any elector may be registered in
the county of in which he resides on
the day of election, before any judge
of election in the precinct in which he
is qualified to vote, for the registration
officers hereinbefore mentioned, but
such applicant must be identified and
vouched for by some freeholder in such
precinct.
The blank Electors Oaths' and
tFreeholder Affdavits" will be sent
to all precincts with the regular sup
plies, and under this law no qualified
voter can be deprived Of voting because
his name does not appear on the regular
registration lists.
It shall be the duty of the judges
of election so registering any electoi
to transmit the " Electors Oaths" and
such Freeholders' Affidavits' to the
clerk of the district court at the sam'
time that he transmits his poll list a
set forth by law, and in this manner al
electors names registered on the day o
election can be entered on the registra
: tion books of the county with tn

Young Mckinney Who Got in Trouble

ordinary ability and of pleasing per-
sonality, spent several months in this
section representing and eastern life in
surance company and later on went
over to the westside on similar business
where he got into trouble through ac-
cepting premiums on applications and
never turning the application in to his
company.
Upon complaint of the parties who
were victims of the smooth young man
the matter was investigated and after
through consideration of the affair
from all angles the young man was
permitted to make such amends as
satisfied those concerned and permitted
to go free after due admonition, it being
the opinion that the young man had
made his first mistake and learned a
severe lesson which would for all times

to press dispatches. it appears the young

p. +. Willard, development agent Of
the Northern Pacific Railway Co., from
st. Paul, Minn., has favored the prairie
with a visit and while here made trip
out among the farmers to ascertain the
conditions under which the farmers
operate here.
In an interview with him last Friday,
he expressed himself as being pro-
foundly impressed with the rich agri-
cultural conditions to be found here on
the prairie, and states that we have
greater opportunities here, under de-
velopment, than anything we have
known heretofore.
In the interview, which we print
herewith, he very clearly outlines the
possibilities which await this section in
the future, and also notes with pleasure
that some of our farmers around
Grangeville are taking advantage Of
these greater things, now al the present
time
He has several words of praise and
commendation for two of our most
prosperous farmers whom he visited
while here. They are o. B. Perkins
and County Commissioner John Long,
both well known farmers and held high
in the esteem of Camas prairie resi-
dents.
Another thing brought out is the
possibility for new crop on the prai-
rie-corn, and description Of some
fields of that cereal which are proving
that it can be raised and that it will be
profitable.
The statement carries a great message
and will interest those who are boosting
for better Grangeville and greater
Idaho county. He said:

rie about Grangeville, today, and l am
impressed with the vast extent Of very
productive soil, the splendid fields Of
grain, and with the great distances be-
tween farm homes. am inclined to

and for the good of the community.

CAUSED SURPRISE
TO POLITICIANS
ELECTION OF NEW MEMBER OF
ATLANTA POLICE BOARD is
CAUSE OF A CTR.

Atlanta, ov. 1.-THE surprise of
the year in local politics was the elect
ION yesterday afternoon by the city
council Of Jack f. Latton, manager
OF the WinecCff hotel, to the position
OF police commissioner, over Captain
James W. English, a foremost banker
and one of the city's most popular
men. City hall gossip says it was the
result OF trick which failed to work
work.
The rivalry hal been intense, but
strange to say, when the election
came up Mr.. Lotions was the only
name presented. The roll call was
begun and when Alderman Maddox
name was reached he rose to hurl the
Boomerang.
Mr.. Letton has lived in Atlanta
three years and has not paid a penny
OF taxes. not even pCll tax in that
time" he said, He is therefore in
eligible for Office"
This was the psychological mo-
men when the friends of Captain En-
glish expected to elect their candi-
date. They called for the city at
torney,. demanding his ruling. But
that official surprised them by declar-
ing that a citizen was citizen wheth-
err he paid taxes or not. and that
Mr.. Letton was perfecly eligible.
Then council elected him by % votes,
several members declining to vote.
