COTTONWOOD OFFENDERS HELD
Let Doersch Go on His Recognizance-
5000 Bonds for Others.

The preliminary hearing of the case
of the State VS.. Pete Bies, Jack Gibson
and George Doersch, the trio which had
bout with the Cottonwood marshall
and came out second best, was commenc-
ed last Thursday and was concluded on
Friday. The charge made against the
three was assaulting an officer.
A large number of witnesses were put
on by both the prosecution and the
defense. The trial was followed with
great interest. George Rustemyer, Felix
Funk, Cecil Carey, Will Schober, w. w.
Welch, Leonard Huffman and Mrs. Carl
Nelson were the witnesses called for
the state and testified as to the pre-
liminary happenings which occurred Just
prior to the fight, and concerning the
latter development when actual war
fare was declared.
As result of the investigation Judge
DeHaven bound all of the offenders
over to the District Court, and fixed
the bail of Pete Bies and Jack Gibsoh
at 5000, and turned Doersch loose on
his own recognizanee to appear at the
next term of court.

LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER.
You Must Register by August First OF
Lose Vote at Primaries,

Under the statutory provisions of the
State of Idaho it is enacted that the
voter to entitle him to cast his ballot
at the prinia aries in September must
register on or before August /, which
will fall on Monday this year. If you
voted at the last election. there will be
no need of registration. Those who
were registered at the last general cleo
tion, but have moved, need only apply
for transfers.
The primary law has been changed
considerably since the last election and
the regular registrars have been done
away with. There work is now per-
formed by the Clerk of the District
Court, justices of the peace, and nota.
ries public.
Registration will close August /, and
the election will be held on Tuesday,
september l. Any voters who have not
registered with the clerk of the court.
or the other persons noted above nav
register on election day with the elec-
ton judges if he will make out the
election oath and accompany it with
freeholder' IS oath. This entails con
siderable bother and red tape however.
The closing Of the clerks books be-
tween August ] and election day is
necessary to give him a chance to make
out the poll lists for the judges. The
old books of the registrars have been
turned over to the clerk in accordance
with the amended primary law and he
will have made out from them a list of
those voters who took part in the last
election. Those who did not vote then
will be dropped and must register to
vote at the present one. Get busy and
get little matter out of the way.

PRAISE PRAIRIE CROPS.
Visitor to Camas Prairie Give Good
Reports Of Crop Conditions.

The voice of good repute seems to be
going forth every day from visitors
from the outside with reference to bar-
vest prospects on Camas Prairie, and al
though some who live here say that
they could be better, yet those who
come in from the outside points and
who travel around over the country
and have chance to compare crop
conditions speak many words Of praise
in favor of our promised yield.
The Rathdrum Tribune in last week s
issue states that Land Commissioner
Day, who had just returned to Boise
from northern Idaho after looking into
the matter of fire projection, reports
that crops, especially on the Camas
Prairie are the greatest he ever saw and
that in his opinion the wheat will
yield go to 20 bushels to the acre and
barley 100 to 10.
A news item in the Moscow Mirror
also states that John P. Mix, who has
been in the Camas Prairie region for the
Idaho National Harvester Company, has
returned home and speaks highly of the
crop conditions in that region. Others
also spread the same good reports which
indicate that at the least ours look as
good as the best anywhere.

STATE HIGHWAY
WILL GO THRU !.
hEzPERCE
ROAD WHICH WILL PASS THRU
GRANGEvILLE TO BE EXTEND.
ED NORTH TO NEZPERCE.
CONSIDERED BEST ROUTE
Meeting of Commercial Club of Neigh
boring Prairie Town Held Last Thurs
day-State Officials Present.

In pursuance of the meeting held in
this city last Thursday, which was at.
tended by Secretary of State Clifford
and State Land Selector Daggett, and
whereat the bringing of the proposed
state highway due north from Grange
vile to the county seat of Lewis county
was the matter under consideration. the
local commercial club Monday appointed
a committee of four business men to
confer with engineers laying out the
route and show them the advantages of
coming this way. This is composed of
Mayor P. e. Miller, DR.. o. A. Jeffreys,
l.. N. Swift and Attorney S. o. Tanna-
hill.
1t is practically conclUled that this
highway, which will traverse Idaho
north and south, must come through
Grangevile, and it was at first thought
it would be best to go thence to Lewis.
ton via the Waha grade, crossing the
southeast end of Lewis county. Inves-
tigation, however, has shown that this
route presents very serious obstacles.
and last Thursday when Messrs. Clifford
and Daggett where here and looked over
the route proposed by Nezperce they
readily conceded the advantages it of
fered. The more important of these
advantages are, we are on an air line
due north of Grangeville, with good
road all the way, except at the Steven
son crossing OF lawyers canyon, at
which can be made at least cost the
easiest grade across the canyon. The
good road from Nezperce to Ilo-
Vollmer and thence to Reubens can be
brought up to the state highway stand
ard at the least cost, and the entire dis
tance from Grangeville to within four
and a half miles of Reubens is open
prairie where the road could be kept
in condition practically the year around.
And then it was the intent of the
originators of this state highway that it
should pass through the county seat of
each county it traversed.
The engineers who will make the
final survey of the route will be in this
section in about a week and it is now
generally felt that they will select the
line through Nezperce, and undoubtedly
. large majority Of the people Of Lewis
county favor this route.--Nezperce

In Other than Office of Probate Judge
There Has Been Only One Applicant
For Each Place.

This is the day of the politicians and
the land is filled with those who are
more than willing to assist the hard
working sons of toll to knowledge of
how to vote. Really there is enough
knowledge and tips to be had that
the man who is bending his back under
a hot July or August sun cleaning a
crop to help pay the cost of government
need only cease his labOrs long enough to
lean on the fork handle and receive the
wisdom of bevy of political life saw
ers who would handle the government
for him.
After all, when the smoke of the
battle clears away, when the dead are
counted and the wounded taken to the
political hospital until recovery two
years hence, there is not SO much to
fret about. A good big wheat crop
safely in the sack or well rounded
bunch of hogs on the way to nine
cent market, is Of a little more impor-
tance to the country at large than all
the politicians in it.
However, there is one crop in Idaho
that never suffers blight or shortage,
and that is the office-seeker.
