FALLS AND Is INJURED.

Last night when the wind was blow
ing quite strong an old man by the
name of MYERS from out in the Dixie
country was passing along the sidewalk
between the Silver Cafe and the Eding-
ton pool hall when the wind hoisted his
hat over the railing. He attempted to
climb down to get it and fell receiving
injuries that have confined him to his
room in the Idaho hotel. Mr.. Myers
is about 80 years old and the fall is
more serious to man of his age than
to a younger man.

the rebirth of the troubled republic,
which had so much of which to purge
itself. and so little sympathy from any
outside quarter in the radical but nec-
essary process. We will aid and be-
friend Mexico, but we will not coerce
her. and our course with regard to her
ought to be sufficient proof to all Amer
lea that we seek no political suzerainty
or selfish control.

HERDS OF CATTLE OF SETH D.. JONES

raiser of hogs and will continue in this
line.
Mr.. Wyatt this fall fed bunch Of
steers from his large range holdings in
the Salmon and Snake river country in
the Pomeroy country and these were
sold recently at large figure. The
consummation of the deal with Mr..
Jones will give Mr.. Wyatt one of the
largest breeding herds in the section in
which he operates and in the north
west. AS the stuff purchased is high
grade stock and as the stock Mr.. Wyatt
has been breeding is high grade stock,
this means that the grade of cattle
marketed by him in the future will be
fancy. The number of thoroughbreds
running on the range in the Salmon
and Snake river sections are enormous
and it seems to be the tendency and
purpose of every large BREEDER there
to build up their herds by heading
them with thoroughbred bulls, and al
so by the addition of thoroughbred
females.

CHILD DROPS DEAD.

The little one-year old child of Mr..
and Mrs. Harvey Peterson of this city,
dropped dead this morning at ten
O'Clock, the cause of the child's death
not having been determined. 1t has
been enjoying good health and was
standing by the side of its cab when
suddenly becoming black in the face,
fell forward and passed away within
minute or two afterwards. It was first
thought death might have been caused
by strangulation but a careful examina-
tion destroys this theory. Death was
probably due to heart trouble of inter-
nal troubles. The bereaved parents
have the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.

Economic Adjustments Inevitable With
in the Next Generation.
The moral is that the states Of Amer
lea are not hostile rivals, but coop
Grating friends, and that their grow
ing sense of community of interest,
alike In matters political and in mat
ters economic, is likely to give them
new significance as factors in interna-
tional affairs and In the political his
tory of the world. 1t presents them as
in very deep and true sense a unit
in world affairs, spiritual partners,
standing together because thinking to-
gether, quick with common sympathies
and common ideals. Separated, they
are subject to all the cross currents Of
the confused politics of world Of hos
tile rivalries; united in spirit and pur-
pose. they cannot be disappointed of
their peaceful destiny.
This is pan-Americanism. 1t has none
of the spirit of empire in it. 1t is the
embodiment, the effectua1 embodiment,
Of the spirit of law and independence
and liberty and mutual service.

REPREsENTED M. ALEXANDER.
George e. Erb Present in Behalf of
Governor at Association Meeting.

George L. Erb of Lewiston was pres
ent at the meeting of the Northwest
Livestock Association held last Satur-
day evening, being there as represen-
tative of Governor M. Alexander, who
upon invitation had delivered an ad-
dress the proceeding Monday night. AT
the banquet of the members of the as
sociation considerable was mentioned
by some present at the meeting con
cerning the failure of the appropria
tion for the livestock show and the
governors veto of the same. In this
connection the statement of Mr.. Erb
to the members of the association at
the election of the officers on Saturday
evening is very apt. AS reported by
the Tribune it was as follows:
Mr.. Erb said that before making the
announcement to follow he desired to
be heard briefly on behalf of the gov
ernor-that he had sat and listened
throughout the evening to jibes and
sneers at the banquet directed at the
governor by peanut politicians; that
the governor has no apology to offer
for any action, nor had the speaker any
apology to offer for him. "Governol
Alexander was elected,n he said, "not
| by the people of Lewiston, Nez PercC
county, nor any other local
ity, but by the people of Idaho, on &
platform wherein he explicitly pledged
reduction of taxation in the greates
possible measure and the passage of nj
appropriation with his permission no
absolutely necessary to the state gov
ernment Governor Alexander has con
scientiously lived up to these promise
and had he not done so would not hav'
merited the respect of myself or an.
other man in the hall Governor Alex
ander is fully aware of conditions AM
existing feeling in this community AM
as evidence that he is bigger maj
than the speaker, he has authorized m
to make the announcement of a So
contribution toward the expense of tn
present show and 800 toward the eS
pense of the 1916 show Mr. Er
said he had intended to make othe
announcements but under the circun
stances had nothing further to say.

LARGEST DEAL IN SALMON RIVER
COUNTRY FOR SOME TIME
PRICE APPROXIMATELY
,OOo-JoNEs TO CON
TINUE IN STEER
RAISING.

A deal was closed last week where
by Frank E. Wyatt of White Bird, one
of the largest stockmen of this section
purchased from Seth d. Jones of the
same place, also another prominent
stockman of that section the breeding
cows and registered bulls of the big
Salmon river herds of Mr.. Jones, the
purchase price amounting to approx
mately $3O,O00.00, thus marking this
transaction as one of the largest made
in the Salmon river section for some
time. Sixteen registered Hereford and
Shorthorn bulls, rs high grade cows and
200 cows and spring calves were deliv-
cred under the sale to Mr.. Wyatt.
This does not mean that Mr.. Jones
has sold his herds but that he is going
to change his plans of stock raising
along lines he has been following to
some extent if late and according to
the plans he has outlined for the future.
He retains 800 head of cattle of which
the majority are steers and he is plan
| ming to devote his entire attention from
now on to the feeding and preparing of
steers for market, buying the young
steers and feeding until they are mar
ketable, and for this purpose he has ex
tensive range well adapted to the pur
pose. To prepare his ranch and range
for this new business Mr.. Jones ha!
been selling heavily for the past yea
and this last deal wipes out his breed
ing stock, the deal is approximate.

IDAHO COUNTY Rank DEPOSITS.

In giving the figures that total the
bank DEPOSITS in last weeks issue of
the Free Press, the total given was
81, ,462, ,s63.47, and this did not mark the
exact figures as some of the statistics
were incomplete, as stated, and there
was an error. Therefore the whole
amount will be swelled when the de-
posits of the First National Bank of
Cottonood, which are $215, 5,192.96, and
of the Ferdinand State Bank, which are
9,001.24, have been considered. This
swells the total DEPOSITS to the extent
of $63,262.ss for the First National
Bank of Cottonwood over the figures
given in last weeks issue; and to the
extent of $31, ,354.75 over the figures
given for the Ferdinand State Bank
This brings the total deposits up tc

half.

No one who really comprehends the
spirit Of the great people for whom we
are appointed to speak can fail to per
ceive that their passion is for peace.
their genius best displayed In the prac-
tice Of the arts of peace. Great democ-
racies are not belligerent They do not
sesk or desire war Their thought Is
of individual liberty and of the free
labor that supports life and the I'M
censored thought that quickens 1t.
Conquest and dominion are not In our
reckoning or agreeable to our princi-
pies. But just because we demand un-
molested development and the undis-
turbed government of our own lives
upon our own principles of right and
liberty, we resent, from whatever
quarter 1t may come, the aggression we
ourselves will not practice. We insist
upon security in prosecuting our self
chosen lines of national development.
We do more than that. We demand 1t
also for others. We do not confine our
enthusiasm for individual liberty and
free national development to the Incl
dents and movements of affairs which
affect only ourselves. We feel it wher-
ever there is people that tries to walk
In these difficult paths of independence
and right. From the first we have
made common cause with all partisans
, of liberty on this side the sea and have
deemed it as important that our neigh.
bors should be free from all outside
! domination as that we ourselves should
be; have set America aside as whole
for the uses of Independent nations and
! political freemen.
Out Of such thoughts grow all our
policies. We regard war merely as a
means of asserting the rights Of peo-
pie against aggression. And we are
as fiercely jealous Of coercive or dicta-
torial power within our own nation
as of aggression from without. We
will not maintain a standing army ex-
cept for uses which are as necessary
I'm times of peace as In times Of war.

TWO CARS RECEIVED IN GRANGE
VILE SUNDAY AND TAKEN TO
DIFFERENT SECTIoNS-SOME
AWARDS TO IDAHO COUNTY
EXHIBITORS.

Two carloads of thoroughbred stock
arrived in Grangeville Sunday evening
and since Monday the various animals
have been taken to every part of the
county to build up the herds of Idaho
county stock. This includes horses,
cattle, and hogs and the purchasers re-
side from Elk City to the Salmon and
Snake river country while some of the
purchases go out on the Pfairie.
Eighteen thoroughbred, registered
Shorthorn and Durham bulls were in
cluded in the shipment TO Grangeville
and the same were purchased at the
livestock show at Lewiston last week.
This indicates marked tendency in
every section of Idaho county, the
greatest agricultural and livestock
country in the United States, to raise
the best bred stock and there are
possibly more thoroughbreds running on
the open range with the herds than any
other locality in the northwest. Most
of the stockmen take the stand that
the best is none too good and their
position is verified when the market
returns come in. Among the purchases
noted at fhe show are the following:
Shorthorns.

But war has never been a mere mat

of disciplined might. IL our citizens
are ever to fight effectively upon
sudden summons, they must know
how modern fighting Is done, and what
to do when the summons comes to
render themselves Immediately avail
able and Immediately effective. And
the government must be their servant
in this matter. must supply them with
the training they need to take care of
themselves and of It The military
arm Of their government, which they
will not allow to direct them, they may
properly use to serve them and make
their independence secure, and not
their own independence merely, but
the rights also of those with whom
they have made common cause, should
they also be put in jeopardy. They
must be fitted to play the great role

PRESIDENT Is GREETED WITH
GREAT APPLAUSE AT THE
READING BEFORE THE AS
SEMBLED MEMBERS OF
BOTH HOUSES.

HOLLOWING is the message of
II President Wilson delivered at q
joint session of the senate and
house at the beginning of the
Sixty-fourth congress:
Gentlemen of the Congress-Since |
last had the privilege of addressing
you on the state Of the Union the war
Of nations on the other side of the sea-
which had then only begun to disclose
Its portentous proportions, has extend
ed its threatening and sinister scope
until it has swept within its flame
some portion of every quarter of the
globe, not excepting our own hemi-
sphere, has altered the whole face of
international affairs, and now presents
a prospect Of reorganization and re-
construction such as statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
to attempt before.
The president tells how this country
practiced neutrality and declares that
he hopes that when the time comes
for readjustment and recuperation this
country will be of infinite service. Re
ferring to Central and South American
problems, the president declares that
we should retain unabated the spirit
which has inspired us throughout the
whole life of our government and
which was so frankly put into words
by President Monroe.
We have been put to the test in the
case of Mexico, and we have stood the
test. Whether we have benefited Mex
leo by the course we have pursued re-
mains to be seen. Her fortunes are in
her own hands, But we have at least
proved that we will not take advan-
tage Of her In her distress and under
take to impose upon her an order and
government of our own choosing. LIB
erty is often a fierce and intractable
thing, to which no bounds can be set
and to which no bounds Of a few
mems choosing ought ever to be set.
Every American who has drunk at
the true fountains of principle and ira
dition must subscribe without reserva,
ton to the high doctrine Of the Vir-
ginia bill of rights. which in the great
days in which our government was sci
up was everywhere among us accept
ed as the creed of free men. That doc
trine is, "That government Is or ought
to be instituted for the common bene

Economy Helps.

In most households greater economy
of time and energy can be practiced
by cooking larger amounts of food at
one time, and this means a saving in
the fuel bills as well.
Enough mayonnaise dressing for all
the salads you will make in a week
can be made on one day. 1t is just as
easy to cook a kettleful of potatoes
that will last two days as it is to pre-
pare only enough for the midday
meal
There is hardly a vegetable one can
think of that cannot be cooked in
large quantities to advantage and that
will not lend itself readily to warming
over in variety of ways. And on
those days when the oven is being
used for baked dishes in which the
vegetables play an important part,
double portions of buildings should
be baked.
What is not required that day can
be served a few days later, steamed
over the vegetable pot, and it will be
just as appetizing, If not more SO, as
II freshly made.
