Fridays Storm A Bad One

A severe rain and hail storm,
which gathered in the Salmon
river section west of Cottonwood
last Friday afternoon, broke over
the prairie about six o'clock that
evening and did considerable
damage to crops of heavy grain.
The storm swept down almost
over Cottonwood Butte and took
an easterly direction toward
Sites. The downpour of rain
was very heavy and was accom-
panied in many places by small
hail which crushed down the
heavy grain fiat with the earth.
The greatest damage was done
to crops in a strip of country
south of Greenereek and Winona
where many fields were practi-
cally ruined. Fortunately the
path of the storm was not very
wide and the excellence of the
spring crops will offset to some
extent the loss occasioned in the
fall grain.

Ferdinand Paper Discontinues

E. P. Martin severed his con-
nection with the Ferdinand En-
terprise last week and we under
stand the paper has been shut
down until another man can be
secured to run it. Lack of busi-
ness patronage was the reason
for the action taken. Small pa
pers in small towns have pretty
hard shedding as a rule and the
men who try to make them 60
would usually make more money
to work at almost any old job
and put the price Of their print
ing plant out at interest. We
hope Bro. Martin finds some 9TH
er line that will work in better
with his position as postmaster
than did the arduous labors of a
country editor.

They Advocate Paving

j. A. Schultz and T. H. Bart.
lett were in the city for a few
minutes Wednesday morning on
their way back to Lewiston from
a trip into the Winona country
and later to Grangeville. Both
gentlemen expressed agreeable
surprise at the progress being
shown in Cottonwood and passed
high compliments on our nice
stretch Of cement walks and
crossings. Speaking of the pro-
posed paving of our streets Mr..
Bartlett said that Cottonwood
could make no better move than
to put through the paving and
that when this is done our town
will lay all of its competitors in
the shade and become easily the
best town on top of the hill.

PRIMARY OR
NO PRIMARY
Direct Primary Question Now
Causing Much Disturbance
in Republican Party Ranks
in Idaho.

When Frank J. Hagenbarth,
the wealthy sheepman of south
eastern Idaho, announced in the
republican state central commit
tee meeting last week that if he
had the writing of the next re-
publican state platform he would
write it in one line" -"To hell
with the direct primary, "-he
seems to have hurled another big
apple of discord into the republi-
can ranks.
Senator Borah countered the
same evening with proposition
which might be construed thus:
"To hell with the republican
party if it deserts the direct pri-
mary"
The position that Senator Bor-
ah holds is that he will assist in
defeating the republican party if
that becomes necessary to save
the direct primary law. He says
openly that he will not stand for
the repeal or the emasculation of
the law.
The Stateman, which is looked
upon in this end of the state at
least as the champion of the anti
primary forces, lost no time in
getting into the fight. 1t holds
the direct primary responsible for
the disruption of the republican
party, for the nomination of O..
V. Allen last year and the trouble
that came to the party as a conse-
quence. 1t argues that with a
half dozen candidates for one
office in the field in the majority
party the opposition can so man.
ipulate the primary as to bring
about the nomination of the
weakest candidate every time.
At the same time the bosses of
the minority parties, in secret
caucuses, can determine the
nominations on their respective
tickets where there is no contest
and in this way secure a better
list of candidates and better dis
tribution over the state.
Many influential republicans
here at the state capital favor the
repeal of the direct primary law
and a return to the old convention
system. Others favor the pri-

Commercial Club
Will Re-Organize
Hold Meeting Monday Night at K. C.
Hall to Elect New Officers.

AT meeting of the business of our city at the
council rooms last evening the decision reached to
organize our Commercial Club and get into operation
along more modern lines and for this purpose general
meeting has been called to Monday evening at
te X of c. hail. above the Orpheum theatre at which
time new officers will be elected and plans outlined for an
active campaign by the club Every citizen be he bus-
ness or professional retired farmer day aborer who
interested in seeing bigger and better town here and
who willing to devote small portion of his time to as
stng matters of public nature, is invited and urged to
attend this meeting.
1t realized locally that great deal of good can be ac
compshed tor our town and community by active
meclal club that cannot be secured any other way In
dividua efforts accomplish much as concerted ac
ton, hence the need for commercial club Things come
up week that demand the attention of commercial
body and unless prepared grasp them others will
and we will later have to regret indifference and
lax methods.
So come out to the meeting day evening and help
get things started.

mary for the selection of county
and local candidates with the
convention system for the select
ion of state candidates. Still 9TH
ers are in favor of radical
changes in the present law to
strengthen the party control and
to make it more difficult for the
minority parties to wage guerilla
warfare between the lines at the
primary elections.
Up to this time the discussion
of the subject is confined to re-
publicans. The opposition seems
to be ready to take advantage of
any move made by the republic.

Sheriff Makes Many Arrests

past couple of weeks and, as a
result, has picked up a num-

charged with horse stealing. 1t
seems that Steen and Miller took
several horses belonging to the
Vollmer-Clearwater com p a n y
from near Sites and drove them

HORSES
co over BLUFE
Nhitebird Stage Team Killed
AMI Stage Demolished by
Going Over Grade When
Scared by Auto.

A Whitebird dispatch to Wed
hesday's Lewiston Tribune says
A rare presence of mind on the
bart of man named Killoran,
Driver of the stage running be-
tween Grangeville and New
Meadows. is accountable for the
|fact that today he is a live man
land not a mass of crushed bones
land torn flesh lying at the brink
10 the Salmon river from a fall
Eof several hundred feet off a
Esheer precipice.
4 On last Saturday the stage
|left Grangeville at the usual
hour in the morning for this
place and New Meadows, the We
hicle being operated by the firm
of Freeman & Brown, all going
we'll until a sharp turn in the
road rising above the Salmon
river was reached, the spot be-
ing very narrow, and one de-
manding careful driving at all
times. 1t was at this point that
there was encountered coming
from the opposite direction an
automobile driven by George S.
Droe. Coming in close contact
with the four horses attached to
the stage before a stop could be
made the animals SHE'D and
plunged about, the driver not be-
ing able to gain control. At the
point of meeting the bluffs rise
to a height of about 300 feet
with the swift running river te-
low. The noises made by the
car and the efforts to control the
maddened animals caused them
to become more excited. Seeing
his danger just at moment
when three of the horses lunged
toward the brink of the precipice,
Driver Killoran jumped. AS he
did so the stage and its four left
the earth and plunged through
space.
The stage was demolished en-
tirely and three of the valuable
animals killed, the fourth escap-
ing injury in a most miraculous
manner, falling upon its mates
at the bottom of the cliff. For
tunately the stage carried no
passengers at the time of the ac-
cident, but only the day before
left Grangeville with a fairly
large number of women and
children.
The concern operating the
stage places its loss at about
$500.

Guard Against French Weed

This weed was introduced into
the United States from Canada,
where it is known as one of the
most troublesome weeds, especi-
ally in small grain farming found
there. The plant is a member Of
the mustard family and is known
by several names. as French
weed, Canada stink weed, fan
weed, penny cress, and sinking
mustard.
The weed is an annual and ma
lures seed from late spring until
late fall in large numbers. The
plant possesses rank, disagree
able odor stands erect and reach
es a height of 1924 inches. The
stem is smooth and the leaves are
arrow shaped. The pods are fiat,
about 3-5 times larger than a pa
rsnip seed, which they resemble
very much in shape and struct-
ure. Owing to its persistent quail
tiles of growth it is very difficult
to eradicate. The roots are quite
long and the seed will germinate
in the fall and live over and pro-
duce seed the following year.
No entirely successful scheme
has been devised for eradicating
it on a large scale. If it is just
beginning to infest a field, one of
the best ways is to hand pull and
destroy the weed.
Where the weed is found in
large numbers, surface cultlva-
ton in the spring to encourage
termination and then plowing
these plants under, is a method
that has been found to be quite
successful. If one uses this
method, care should be taken to
not turn under any plants that
have pods on them.
The growing of cultivated crops
has been recommended as one of
the most successful methods Of
eradicating the weed and one that
has been used exclusively in
North Dokota, Minnesota, and
Canada with excellent results.
The fall germinated seeds are
quite troublesome, but can be
held in check by fall plowing.
This weed has proved to be so
troublesome to the small grain
farmer of Canada and the North
Central States that strict meas
ures should be taken to hold it
in check in this state.

Geo. w. Stahls Place Is
Among Those Visited, AS
Well AS Pecan Farm.

Eight automobiles containing bust
ness men from Pensacola made a trip
into the country yesterday afternoon,
it being the second Of its kind to be
made within the past few weeks. The
party visited a number of the model
farms of the county and at each of
these it was clearly demonstrated
what can be done in Escambia county
if the proper methods are pursued in
soil cultivation.
The party left the San Carlos at 2
o'clock, going out to Brent and turn
ing over to Ferry Pass road, out
which they went to C. w. Parker's
place, where they saw one of the best
conducted small truck farms in the
county. There also they visited the
poultry farm of Mr.. Emory, who has
made decided success of this bust
ness. Here the party enjoyed some
fine melons which they cut.
From this point the automobiles
went to the pecan farm of C. F. Geek,
where they saw one of the finest
young groves in this section of the
country. III was seen by this growth
that pecan culture can be conducted
profitably in Escambia.
From this place the party motored
to the farm of Geo. w. Stahl, of Chi
cago, treasurer of the Standard Oil
Co., who purchased a large tract
about two years ago, and which prom
Uses in the future to be one of the
show places of Escambia county. This
farm is under the management of l..

successfully as well as satisfactorily
to the owner.

city shortly after o'clock last night,
R. w. Goodhart was in charge of the
party and every member felt we'll re-

i country.
