THE STOCK SHOW
NOW LOOMS Big.
Lewiston Be Center of Northwest Activi-
ties When Greatest Annual Event
Is Staged, Nov. 29-Dec. 4.

All conditions indicate that the
Annual Northwest Livestock Show at
Lewiston, the week of November %
-Dece mber 4, will be the greatest
in the history of that institution.
This opinion is based upon reports
received by the officers of the North
west Livestock Association, under
whose auspices the show is held.
These reports are to the effect that
a larger number of animals will be
on display than has been the case in
the past, while the quality also prom
ises to establish a new standard.
Exhibits are coming from all the
principal sections of the four North
west states. The magnitude of the
show, which is now in its seventh
year, can be judged by the fact that
at some of the past exhibitions over
5000 animals were on display. Re-
ports made by the railroads, based
upon inquiries received, leave no
doubt that the attendance of people
will far surpass that of any previous
show.
While the Northwest Livestock
Association comprises the leading
stockmen of the four Northwest states
and who unselfshly give their time
and means to the development of
the show, they are receiving hearty
cooperation on the part of agricul-
tural colleges and universities and
the presidents of several such insti-
tutions will be on the speaking pro-
gram this year. Governors Alexan-
der of Idaho, and Lister of Wash
ington will give their presence to the
program, Governor Alexander to de-
liver an address on the opening day.
The Northwest Livestock Show
utiliz.s specially equipped grounds
east of Lewiston, these being served
by special train service during the
week of the show, and already work
is in progress there preparing for the
big annual event. The sales feature
of the show is again to be prominent
this year, with high grade stock in
all lines to be offered. Secretary
Smith of the Northwest Livestock
Association has given close attention
to the important work assigned him
and has been in the field practically
every day for the past three months,
arranging the details of the big ex-
hibition,

PoOre Meets His Obligation

R. Thomas Poore, whose age runs
somewhere along in the sixties and
who for many years has been well
known resident of the lilo section,
casually dropped into Nezperce last
Friday evening and turned himself and
gun over to Sheriff Paige to begin serv-
ing o0-day Jail sentence, imposed by
United States District Judge Dietrich
at Moscow last week on plea of guilty
to the charge of having introduced
liquor ON the NezPerce Indian reser-
vation.
When the sentence was passed the
prisoner requested the privilege of es-
corting himself to Jail without the Gus
tody of an officer. The conditions
warranting, the Judge granted the re-
quest.
The tale to this rather unusual cir
cumstance follows something in this
fashion: On Thanksgiving day two
years ago, Mr.. Poore held a turkey
shoot at his place between Ilo and
Winchester and invited all the neigh
bors out to try their luck. Among
other things for the occasion he pro-
vided gallon of spirits, which was dis
tributed without charge to those Of the
crowd whose tastes ran in that line
More or less enthusiasm was created
by the spirits, and word of their exist
ence and whereabouts reached Deputy
U. S. Wolgamott in Ilo, who proceed
ed to arrest Poore. He was hailed be-
fore Judge Dietrich at the following
term of court, plead guilty and SEN
tence was suspended until the next
term, the defendant being released on
his own recognizance.
During the session of this curt
last week Poore made his appearance
and asked for passage, stating in
effect, that he was weary of the sus
pense and wanted the thing over with.
On reaching Nezperce Friday he
looked up Prosecuting Attorney
Tannahill and reported his mission.
Mr.. Tapnahill gave him the needed
information and advised that he be-
gin serving his sentence at once,
that it might be sooner ended But
Pore said: mo; its getting late and
/ have never fancied breaking into
jail at night. I'll wait till morning.
In the morning he was admitted, and
his native philosophy scenes to be
carrying him through the ordeal with
flying colors.

Hunters Have Hard Luck

VIM. Testerman returned home
last night from the Selway country
for which place he left week ago
in company with Freeman Syron for
a deer hunt. They we're on their
way to the Three Forks and had
stopped at the falls for night, having
turned their horses out to Craze, as
is the custom. The next morning
Testerman' saddle horse was found
with three ribs broken and it was
badly skinned up, it having fallen
over bluff during the night.
Whether it was attacked by bear
or cougar or had fight with the
other horses could not be determined
Syron joined the Drake party at the
falls and continued on the trip, but
Testerman stayed with his horse in
hopes of saving it, as it was worth in
the neighborhood of 800. He
ma 1aged to get it back to the forks
of the Lochsa and Selway where it
died. He then continued on his way
home. He says that while on their
way in they met several hunting
parties coming out and that they all
had the limit. While at the forks
Bill went up on Cold Springs ridge
one day and jumped three deer but
he was little nervous and did not
get any of them, although he took
broadside shot at big buck.

For a Public Reading Room.

Believing that there is a great
need for public reading room in
Nezperce, and as we believe in being
public spirited and working for the
welfare of our community, we will
gladly tender TO the public the use
of our annex for the purpose of a
reading room. And in order that
other public spirited people of Nez
perce may have part, we would
suggest that people who subscribe
for magazines and other periodicals
that could be used for this purpose
would kindly denote them to the
reading room when through with
them, that we may keep the place
we'll supplied with good reading
matter. Also, if you have books that
you are through with and think they
would be good reading for others,
we ask you to help US IN this way.
And, further: Have you any games
such as checkers, dominoes, etc !,
that you would care to give for this
purpose? We would gladly receive
them Any suggest ons you may
have along this line will be thank
fully received.
1t is the intention to open the annex
as public reading room on Mon
day, Nov. Is. 1t will be kept open
every day from S to p. M, and on
Sundays from l to p m.

The foregoing donation of the
Christian church annex for a public
reading room should certainly be
appreciated by the people, and we
believe it will. There seems to be
need of such a convenience here es-
pecially during the long winter eve
nings, and it is fortunate that the
need can be SO readily supplied.

SorensOn Buys Miller Livery Barn.

II. F. Hiler, of West Plains, Mo-,
who has been interested for some
time in the big livery barn and
business formerly owned by N. B.
Miller in this city, on Monday
bought the entire plant, but not
being desirous of continuing the
business here himself, put the same
on the market. He was not long in
finding a purchaser.
The barn, with its complete equip
ment, was bought Tuesday evening
by Hon Jas. P. Sorenson of Mohler,
and it was a spot-cash transaction.
Mr.. Sorenson, who is one of the
best known live stock and standard
bred horse dealers on the prairie,
took charge of the institution yester-
day morning and intends to conduct
it in the most up-to date manner the
business will justify. He will be-
come resident of Nezperce and
plans to move his family over from
Mohler as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be made.
Mr.. Sorenson is almost like citi-
zen of this community already, his
business having often brought him
in touch with our people, and while
he comes among Us not at all as a
stranger, his and his family's advent
will be the more welcome, for they
are known to be citizens of stirling
worth.

They will make their residence with
the parents of Mr.. Reese, where he
has practical charge of the farm op-
erations.
The Herald joins their many
friends with a shower of best wishes
for long and happy journey over
the matrimonial trail.

to the Reese home and proceeded
with an impromptu program of So
cial stunts. The guests numbered
some rs, and for several hours they
made the young couple know that
they were not to be all alone in their
happiness. The gay event was con-
cluded with liberal service of good

RUSSELL JOINS THE
COMMUNITY CIRCLE
Fine Gathering at School House Enjoys
Program, Dinner, Speeches, Foot Ball
Game Other News.

The community meeting held at
Russell school house last Thursday
was quite success, tn ough the dis
agreeable weather prevented large
crowd from attending.
Part of the school program was
given in the morning, after which a
big dinner was done thorough justice
to by the hungry assemblage.
The committees on premium

kirk and Schlautmann, on school
work, and Messrs. Wade, King and
Albers, on farm products. Quite a
little interest was taken in the edu-
cational exhibits Russell school
having the honor of being the first in
Lewis county to be favored with
them.
B The afternoon program was quite
ngthy, but replete with wholesome
md entertaining features. c. S.
Newkirk made the opening address,
and urged upon his fellow neighbors
the necessity of taking step on
1n1d and upward-to take hold of
the propositions of good roads, a
town hall, community band and a
new school house.
"A play by the older pupils, en-
titled, "No Girls Admitted" was
veil received, as was the song
'sJuanita' by the girls quartet.
Rev. T II. Fertig made his first
appearance before a Russell audi
ence, and, we quote from one of the
crowd, she certainly made a hit with
u.s. Mr.. Fertig talked in his
usual straightforward manner, not
= a minister, but as man. He
touched the development of organic
alton, showing the value to US of the
present condition. He advocated
religious training and a knowledge
q the Bible as leading factors for
the superior results.
Miss Retta Martin, the county
superintendent, requested cooper
ation between the local district and
The higher units of education. She
said the cost per pupil of maintain
ing the Russell school the past year
vas $28.76, while the average per
capita for the county was $37.75.
n County Advisor Wade asked the
question, "Why are you hereP'
The answers proved interesting
Some were humorous and some even
pathetic. Mr.. Wade urged utiliz-
|ation of the summer fallow, believ-
ing clover would we'll answer the
Requirements. He impressed upon
the audience his desire to help and
in the solution of the farm problems
of the county in general.
The concluding number was
hard fought foot ball game between
the "Coyotes," the school team,
and the Bulldogs" tn. Russell
scrub team. The score was to 5
at the end of the first half, and IL
to II at the close. The tie was
played off, and the Coyotes won-12
