PIONEER PICNIC JULY 4TH.

Announcement is made this week by
George d. Smith, president of the Idaho
County Pioneer Association, to the eff
feet that the Pioneer Picnic this year
will be held at Mt. Idaho on July 4th,
instead of on July 10 as had been pre-
viously announced. Folks at Mt Idaho
have planned on an old-fashioned picnic
and celebration at that point on the oc-
casion of the anniversary of the
nation's birth and the committee in
charge extended an urgent invitation to
the old settlers to meet with them at
the historic old county seat. This will
assure an increase in the attendance
at the Mt. Idaho celebration which
promises to be one Of the most sue
cessful ever pulled off in the county.

MORE LIVESTOCK SALES.

August Schroeder, the we'll known
Hereford breeder, delivered carload of
fine cattle to John Baer here this week
for shipment to Stanton & Co. at Spo-
kane, says the Cottonwood Chronicle.
The cattle consisted of 26 head of three
year old steers which were cut back
last fall when Mr.. Schroeder selected
his carload exhibit for the Lewiston
stock show ard on which he won first
prize at that time. The cattle sold to-
day were grain fed during the winter
at his farm east of town and were taken
this spring to his cattle ranch on Sal
mon river where they were finished on
the fine grass pasture. When delivered
here today they made total weight of
10000 pounds, of 1857 pounds each. The
cattle were certainly choice bunch,
being fat and sleek as one could wish to
see. Mr.. Schroeder was paid seven
cents a pound for them, or $21O6.3O for
the bunch. At the same time he sold
a dry cow, which weighed 1870 pounds,
to Simon Bros. for six cents, or 1920.
Besides the above carload of cattle, Mr..
Baer is also shipping $50 head of fine
hogs, little more than car and q
half, from this place to Spokane. In
fact, hardly week passes but what
from two to five and six cars of stock
are shipped out from this point, which
readily goes to show that our farmers
fully realize the profits to be made
from growing live stock and will never
drop it for straight grain raising.

DRAG FOR BETTER ROADS.
Good Results Already Had From King
Meeting in this City.

From what we are able to learn from
our neighboring road districts the seed
sown at the King good roads meeting
at Grangeville recently is taking root in
good shape and gives promise of bear.
ing fruit thousand fold. Out in the
Ferdinand district the highway COM
missioners have already secured ten
farmers who have promised to drag
mile of road each for year free of
charge to the district if they were
furnished the drags. The commissioners
at once accepted the proposition and
provided the drags and are now .prepar.
ing several more drags for distribution
among their farmers who have decided
to follow in the footsteps of their
neighbors.
Up in the Keuterville district the
commissioners are also furnishing drags
free to the farmers and a number were
put in operation on the main roads
there the first of the week, after the
heavy rain, and soon had the roads
looking smooth as the paved city
streets.
| In the Cottonwood district the drag
germ is also beginning to get in its
work and We hope to soon see the King
drags as numerous there as there are
farmers to operate them.
There is no question but that drag.
ging the roads is the one best system
and in time, will build fair roads out of
very poor ones. However, the best
plan is to grade the roads up into prop.
er shape at the start and see that they
are given proper drainage, and then
dragging will keep them in perfect
shape at small expense.
But until the dragging can be done
get drag and use it after every rain
and you will soon see big Improvement
in the roads wherever this plan is fol
lowed.-Cottonwood Chronicle.

Leading Hostelry Of North Idaho Under
Management of Popular Hotel Man
Other News Of Change.

From authoritative sources comes the
announcement this week that the
management of the Imperial, Grange
ville's magnificent hostelry, has chang
ed and the popular hotel will for the
present be conducted under the guiding
hand of Jess Callahan.
A deal was completed the first of the
week whereby the Imperial Hotel Com
pany bought out the interests Of Mrs.
Lorana c. Tamblyn, who with the as.
sistance Of Mr.. Tamblyn, has been in
charge of the hotel ever since its open.
ing about three years ago.
Mr.. Callahan who assumes charge Of
the hotel under the guidance Of the
controlling company, is an experienced
caterer to the travelling public and will
be found on the job at all times. For
several months he was chief clerk at the
Imperial and this prestige, together
with his wide acquaintance throughout
the country, fits him eminently for the
managerial position. For the present
all the regular attaches at the hostelry
will be retained
North Idaho's Best Hotel
The Imperial is recognized throughout
the northwest as one Of the best hotels
in this territory. As an asset to Grange
vile it has, and always will be, of un-
told value. There are no better judges
of hotels than travelling men and it is
well known fact that most all the
commercial travellers who make this
territory always book Grangeville and
the Imperial hotel as the stopover point
if possible. Many Spokane, Lewiston
and Portland travelling men come to
Grangeville first and later work the
towns along the. High line, returning to
Grangeville each evening in many
| cases.
The Tamblyns have made many
friends during their residence here.
Mrs. Tamblyn s health has not been
the best and this is one of the principal
reasons for their decision to remove to
a lower altitude. Mr.. Tamblyn has
been Unidentified with many good moves
affecting the welfare of the county and
city and his loss will be keenly felt by
commercial interests. The best wishes
of the community accompany. the Tam
blyns wherever they decide to locate.
They will probably not leave Grange
vile for a week or so.

ANOTHER TELEPONE LINE.

A new telephone line from the Deer
Creek country is now fast becoming a
reality with six of the ranchers in that
excellent community the prime movers
in the undertaking, says the Sun. These
were all connected with the present
Pittsburg line but in a settlement this
spring a new line was found necessary
and those who are behind this line are
to be cut off from the Pittsburg line
the first ofJuly. This new move will
provide much better service for all con-
cerned as the old line was over crowded.
Those in the new company so far are
Poe, Rogers, Hadorn, Berlingoff, J.
Evans and Layton.

Miss Susan Overman, and their respec-
tive husbands, Mrs. H. Hender and Mr..

H. R. Hilbourne, who have long been
residents of Grangeville. And although
Mr.. Hender is not so well known in the

pie of Grangeville, for the short time he
has been in our midst, has made him
many new friends and acquaintences.

spirit of jollification and merry max
ing, Mrs. w. O. Smith presiding as
mistress of the ceremonies. A short
and appropriate program was rendered
for the entertainment Of the crowd pres

tion, and Mr.. Louie Gaut, will appear
in the minstrels which have been in
preparation for weeks.

pear in few numbers of merit. "The

Hazel Toye, Lydia and Sylvia Parker
and Mrs. Ed Abramson will also be

the occasion and will be on hand to
boost with the right kind of support
from the orchestra pit.
While the details have not yet been
worked out is is highly probable that
the baseball boys will decide upon a
novelty street parade at noon Wednes.
day. This feature will be planned and
arranged for and will no doubt be pull
ed off on time unless the inclemency of
the weather prevents such a stunt.
Reserved seats will be placed on sale
Monday at Harry Wood s. The base
ball boys have not asked the business
men and citizens Of the town for any
public or direct subscription, choosing
to adopt this means to keep the club on
solid financial footing. 1t behooves
Everybody to buy ticket or so.

twenty able bodied men from the Joseph
would be busy on the Rice Creek grade
one day this week, getting the loose
rock out and putting it in shape for

labor and will mean much for the road.
The Doumecq grade is said to be in bad

been suggested for it. Mr.. Reed is en-

THAT GAME AT KAMIAH
(By Billy Strong)

The Grangeville ball club took a
beating from the Kamiah Indians Sun.
day. Score 16 to s.
Our boys went on a conquest of red
skins but had hard luck in the battle
for they were caught in Seven Mile
canyon and, to use an expression cred
tied to Frank Vansise, "Come away
boys, the canyon is filled with In
dians," they met defeat.
The white men looked good in the
opening when the first six men up
hit Chief Mccoy Hill for safeties and
four men counted. That's about the
only time they did look good, however,
for after the Indians started the white
men were second all the way till the
race finished.
Shinkle was on the mound for the
Grangeville club and had a prayer
book and horseshoe for couple of
innings. Then the ascension started
and Suze Harris was called in from
right field. Suze Jared little better.
He went well for a short time, but the
comedy of errors behind him was
enough to beat any pitcher. (You know
me, ALL Me at third, Ingram at short
and Gideon at second were the chief
offenders in the error column, and good
old reliable Boss Brown let several 90

stopped.

lost in the jungle while three indians

Much more cannot be said about the
game, except that it couldn't be much

Below is my parody on the regular
sporting writer IS poem that was writer
about Shinkle on his first performance
here some weeks ago.
