George E. Anderson, American con-
sui general at Hong KONG, believes
one Of the results Of the Europasu war
will lie the movement Of population
from the North of Europe TO the Unit
ed States, and 1t seems tc him that
the Pacific coast offers the best oppor-
tunities to emigrants. Perhaps it
does. But it depends on what class
of emigrants come here to develop
these opportunities, whether the Pa

RETURNS FROM REUBENs.

Father Mooney returned on Monday
evening from Reubens. He states that
the mission he conducted there with
Father Berthold IS help was more sue
cessful one than the one at Grange
vile. Extra seats had to be installed
as the local preachers with their con-
gregations attended as result many
have applied for further course of in
structions with view of being re-
ceived into the church. AS fitting
conclusion to the mission word was re-
ceived upon Saturday night that the
new High Altar valued at $3.50 donat-
ed from the east had been shipped on
April End. The congregation at Reu-
bens is now on the increase. After
Easter is over he will hold week Is
services at Whitebird. Father Berth
old of Cottonwood had to compliment
the congregation at Reubens for the
progress made since last October and
hoped, ere the year closes that they
will secure a resident pastor as pro
gressive Grangeville requires constant
attention.

MOVES TO OREGON.

f. A. Davis left Wednesday morning

sociation with Richard Wise, will open
up harness shop. Mr.. Davis has been
resident of this city for number of
years, is. first class citizen who has
many friends who wish him well in his
new location. He has been conducting
a harness shop here for several years
and thoroughly understands the busi-
ness. Mr.. Wise, the junior member of
the firm was raised in this community
and is well and favorably known among
the younger men of the town. He
learned the harness and saddlery bust
ness thoroughly and the combination
is strong one. Monroe is live little
town of six or seven hundred people in
Oregon and Ed says the latch spring
will always be out to his old friends,
many of whom will pass that way in
their trip to the Panama exposition and
some of whom will no doubt be glad to
accept the proffered hospitality on
their return from the fair.

He stated he was Taft republican
and did not wish to be identified with
those who have left the Taft wing for
the progressive camp. In fact one
would gather from Mr.. Nugent IS re-
marks that he is bitterly opposed to
the interference in Idaho affairs by

seventeen characters with lines, there
is football team and members of the
faculty who serve to add effective.
ness to the play.
The play itself abounds in fun from
the first to last. Being college play,
(written, however, for high school
players) it is lively and hilarious. Col
lege pranks and escapades furnish the
chief source of interest to the plot.
The indications are that this attrac.
tion will draw the biggest crowd of
the year. The new school auditorium
is an ideal place to give such play.

TWO BASKET BALL VICTORIES
Local High School Defeats Kooslsia
Players in Both Contests.

Before a crowd of basket ball enthu-
siasts that taxed the capacity of the
galleries at the new gymnasium the
Grangeville High school was victorious
in two contests last Friday night when
the boys team from the local school
hung the goodnight sign on the fast ag-
gregation of young men from the Koos-
kia High school by score of 10 to 5
while the G. H. s. girls defeated the
maidens from the river by count of
5 to 0.
In this, the last and most crucial
game of the season for the G. H. s., the
local boys were unbeatable, evidencing
a splendid improvement over past per-
formances both in individual play and
teamwork and reflecting great credit
not only upon themselves but upon
Coach Branon as we'll. It's next to i'm
possible to relate or describe just how
well the locals played. You should have
seen the game. Five minutes of play
would have given you a much more
comprehensive idea of the excellence of
the home boys than all the glittering
exuberanee of grandiloquent verbosity
or polysyllabic expatiation that might
be hailed into service as explanatory
and enlightening at this particular
period.
Homer Mcdonald was the bright, re-
fulgent light in this constellation Of
basket ball sharks. OF the 10 points
chalked up for the locals Homer is
directly responsible for more than l5,
which is quite some responsibility.
Richards was also prominent in both
reels and the others. Gilbert, Leonard
and Kennedy, are entitled to credit
for perfect play. Zimmerman starred
for the visitors.
In the fair sex contest the girls from
the home school scored shut out over
the visitors. This game created a great
deal of interest and was thoroughly en-
ioyed. Misses PEBBLES and Sims for
our side and Miss Tyre for the visitors
were the most consistent players.

BUILD MUCH NEEDED SIDEWALK.

At the meeting of the city council an
ordinance was passed providing for the
construction of a sidewalk from State
street to Hall street near the Mrs.
Nancy Jones Cook residence. This will
be greatly appreciated by students and
patrons of the new school building and
it is to be hoped that more east-and-
west sidewalks will be constructed in
the city this summer. Considerable
routine business was transacted by the
city fathers who will probably meet
again next Tuesday evening.

PLAY AGAINST coLoRED GIANTS

Much interest in the game at Lewis
ton next Thursday between the Chicago
Giants (colored) and team of all-star
PLAYERS from the Lewiston, Grangeville
and Cottonwood country has been mani
tested this week and it is probable that
a good-sized delegation of local fans
will 90 down to see the game. Charles
Branscombe and possibly Eli Ingram of
this city will be used in the lineup
AGAINST the Giants who have been clean
ing up all the league teams in the west
country. Branscombe is sure OF a berth
in the outer gardens and rumor has it
that Eli will also be called in to help
chalk up a defeat against the visitors.

PRAISES q. H. s. STUDENTS.

In view of the unpleasantness that
often attends inter-scholastic games, it
is refreshing to note that the basket
ball contest here last Saturday evening
with the Grangeville high school team

gentlemen, acted like gentlemen and
we believe, were treated like gentle.
