Grain Crops Begin to Move

The grain market took another
jump yesterday and dollar a
bushel is being offered by local
buyers for good Bluestem, while
Fortyfold is bringing SO cents
and Club 95. Feed barley is also
up to the dollar mark, with good
seed at $1.05 and Bohemian at
$1.O8. Oats is quoted at from
81. Is to $1.20 and at these prices
quite few farmers are letting
go of their crops and putting the
money where it will do the most
good-into circulation. Quite a
lot of grain has been sold on the
prairie within the past few days
and if the present prices hold
most of the farmers will let go of
their surplus grain instead of
r..sking possible losses by holding
f,r a higher market.

sheep industry in this section
while cut off from running large
herds by reason of pasture being
limited is one of the best paying
propositions that can be entered

Mr.. Bryant is now raising the
very best stock of sheep that can

REPUBLICANS
CARRY COUNTY
Only Three Democrats Land
Job and County Division
Defeated by Over 500 Ma
jority.

Another election has come and
gone and county division has met
with smother sad defeat.
The vote cast last Tuesday, in
spite of the damp weather, was
perhaps the largest ever polled in
Idaho county and totaled close to
$500 for the entire county.
Cottonwood rolled up the larg-
est vote in its history and when
the polls closed at seven O'Clock
exactly $50 voters had cast the ir
ballots. AS was to be expected,
the legislative candidates drew
the largest vote and Parker, York
and Adair run neck and neck
with $40, 518 and SIG votes re-
spectively, while their opponents,
Sweet, Harchelrode and Meyer,
drew only II, 16 and 13 votes
: each.
In all of the county precincts
the vote was correspondingly
heavy. but Grangeville surprised
all by casting a total vote of 1881,
or practically one vote for every
soul in that town. Of course
Grangeville's four wards are not
limited to the town itself but ex-
tend well out into the prairie ard
back onto the mountain.
Hawley carried this county
over Brady by about 200 votes,
while Alexander defeatad Haines
by almost 600 votes.
Alexander carried the state for
governor by nice majority and
Hawley is thought to have beat
en- Brady by a small margin.
The other republican state candi-
dates were all elected.
The returns from 81 precincts
in this county give the final re-
suits as follows and the remain
ing small precincts will not
change these figures materially:
U. S. Senator Hawley, 1924; Brady,
164S. i

District Judge --Needham, 743; Steele,

From the above it will be seen
that Pettibone, Yates and Staley
are the only democrats elected
and there is a possibility even of
the latter being defeated when
the vote is finally canvassed.
Not a man favorable to county
division. regardless of political
belief or location, was given
chance last Tuesday.
The vote cast in Cottonwood
precinct was as follows:

BRIDGE man
MURDERED
Joe Markus Fatally Shot by
Companion Tuesday Night
and Died Later at Lewiston
Hospital.

Hospital.
AS the result of a shooting
scrape at the rock crusher north
OF town late Tuesday evening
Joseph Markus, a bridge carpen-
ter "a years of age, now lies dead
at the st. Joseph hospital in
Lewiston and John Schmidt, his
assailant, is in the county Jail at
Grangeville. The shooting took
place in the living car on the
side track at the rock crusher
between 10 and II O'Clock Tues
day night after the return of
several members of the bridge
crew from casting their ballots
at the general election in Cotton
wood that evening.
Immediately after the shooting
DIR. Orr was summoned and did
all in his power for the wounded
man but, seeing his wounds were
very serious, decided his only
chance for recovery would be
through an operation and soon
had him started on a gasoline
speeder for the hospital at Lew
iston. The wounded man was
met at Joseph by F. N. Finch
and taken to the hospital where
he later expired. Schmidt was
locked up in box car by the
foreman of the bridge crew and
held until Sheriff Eimers could
arrive from Grangeville and take
him in charge.
Varney Markus, who with his
brothers, Warner and Peter, ac-
companied the wounded man to
Lewiston. gave his version of the
affair as follows:
He said his brother had just re-
turned from Cottonwood, where
he had gone to cast his vote in
the general election. The men
occupying the sleeping car take
turn about at making the beds,
sweeping the car and attending
the fire. Entering the car Joseph
Markus set about banking the
fire for the night, and Schmidt
and another bridge carpenter
named Siegel occupying a couch
in the car demonstrated at the
noise being made by Markus.
The men, the speaker alleged,
arose from the cot and went to-
ward Markus and when within
reach pushed him against the
wall of the car. Markus thought
they were in fun and tried to
push them away. When this
happened, Varney Markus stat
ed, Schmidt rushed to his suit
case and grabbed his revolver,
Immediately blazing away at Jo-
seph Markus.
After the shooting Schmidt and
Siegel dressed and left the car,
strolling up and down the track
and making no attempt to get
away. Following the arrival of
DR.. Orr from Cottonwood, who
dressed the wounds of Markus,
an officer arrived from Cotton
wood and placed both Schmidt
and Siegel under arrest, taking
them to Cottonwood.
Schmidt has been employed by
the company for about five
and Markus at different
times for the past two years has
been employed in the capacity of
bridge carpenter.

Uncle Sam Feeding World

| WooiiiiS WI, OCC. OU.-Wa ar
demand on American granaries,
mills and packing houses, as
shown today in an analysis by
the department of commerce, re-
suited in record expectations of
bread stuffs, meats aid other
food articles during September.
Many trade currents, broken by
the European upheaval, have
shifted to the United States;
France demanding immense
quantities of fresh beef; South
America and Europe buying large
amounts of flour, while nearly all
the markets formerly supplied
from other sources are importing
millions of pounds of American
sugar.
The value of foodstuffs sold a.
broad last month was $68, 400, ,889,
nearly double of that of Septem-
Der year ago, when total was
$38, 786, ,624.
The war demand for wheat
brought exports for the three
months ending with September
to the highest point ever reached
in any corresponding period. To-
tai exports, including -four in
terms of wheat, in the three
months aggregated 80, ,25O, 900
bushels. compared with 59,O0O,-
600 bushels in that period last
year. For September the exports
of flour were about normal, but
the wheat sold abroad was more
than twice that exported during
the month. The wheat total was
100000 bushels. Fran nee
bought 7,572.OOO bushels; the
United Kingdom, 6,64O, 900; The
Netherlands. 2,2O1, 200, while
other European countries bought
S, 800, 200. More than 2,56O, 900
bushels were exported to Canada,
while another effect of the war
was the shipment of $50, ,OCO
bushels to Brazil.
Exports of flour to Latin-Amer-
lea nearly doubled those of Sep
tember one year ago.
Exports of fresh beef in Sep
tember amounted to 1000, COO
pounds, II times that sent abroad
in September, 1913. The 3,OOO,-
600 pounds of canned beef ex-
ported was eight times the a.
mount sold in September last
year.
The increase of refined sugar
exports was tremendous. In
September 52,29O,773 pounds
were shipped abroad, compared
with 3,924,549 one year ago.
Other gains for September show
ed by the department figures
