A Wagon Load of Chickens

What was perhaps the first
four-horse load of chickens ever
marketed in Cottonwood was
sold here yesterday to Simon
Bros. when Mr.. Olson brought in
a four-mule team load of fat
chickens from the Indian farm
leased by Jack Pennecard north
east of town. The chickens were
loaded into a regulation hog
wagon, with boards over the top,
and filled it full from end to end.
The chickens were of the game
variety and very fat, the roosters
weighing about 7 pounds each.
They brought eight cents a pound
on the local market, which was
considered a better price than
could have been secured by ship
ping them to Spokane.

N. P. TO Use
P|TTSBURG ROAD
May Build From Salmon City
by Way of Dixie and Elk
City to Sites and Thence
on to the Coast.

The plans of the Northern Pa
cific for changing the main line
so as to utilize the Pittsburg &
Gilmore and construct the con-
Meeting link to Lewiston to Sc
cure a water grade from the
Montana state line to the coast,
are disclosed in a Butte, Mon
~tana, dispatch under date of JAN
uary 26. The Butte item was
written after Northern Pacific
officials had returned from a trip
of inspection over the Pittsburg
& Gilmore and while the item
does not suggest who talked, the
writer was given some definite
information by informed persons
relative to locations, distances
and plans.
1t has been rumored here for
some time that the building of
the Pittsburg & Gilmore to Lew
iston can be expected at almost
any time but that its construction
is quite likely to be precipitated
by the separation of the North
ern Pacific and the Great North
ern. 1t is said this separation is
now pending and in the arrange
ments the Great Northern would
acquire the Burlington road and
the Northern Pacific would take
the Chicago & Northwestern.
The plan would be to construct
the Northern Pacific connection
from Whitehall to Armstead and
from Lander, Wyoming, on the
Chicago & Northwestern to Arm
stead, and the traffic of the two
roads would be routed to the
coast over water grade lines.
The route suggested for the
construction of the line from Sal
mon City to Lewiston, as report
ed in railroad circles, is that the
Salmon river will be left to the
south and by swinging into the
Dixie and Elk City sections the
Pittsburg & Gilmore can be con-
nected with the present Northern
Pacific tracks at Sites with a big
saving in mileage and the elimi-
nation of all the expensive con-
struction through the box canyon
section of the Salmon river below
Whitebird. The Northern Pacif-
ic made a survey of the Dixie
cutoff route at the time the en-
gineers were fighting with the
O.-W. R. & N. crews for rights
on the Middle Fork. Tribune.

Final examinations were given
this week in advanced algebra
and physical geography. Every
pupil passed. High school arith-
metic and bookkeel ing will be
taken up.
The Kamiah high school basket
ball team plays here Feb. IL and
the local boys are very anxious
to have good turnout as their
expenses are very high. Games
have been postponed for nearly
a month so as to insure a good
crowd.
Any pupil tardy or absent here
after will have the whole grade
to answer to. The superintend-
ent has announced that every
grade ip which there is no tard-
mess or absence during the week
will be excused at recess on Fri
day afternoons. There has been
far too much tardiness among a
few pupils the past month.
The high school girls basket
ball team, accompanied by Miss
Gray and Myrtle Rhett, and the
9th grade boys team, accompan-
led by Mr.. Jenkins, went to
Grangeville Saturday evening
and engaged the corresponding
teams there and came home with
the small end of the score in both
instances. The girls lost 10 to 20
and the boys Is to 33. The girls
game was very well played but
the boys game was the nearest
to a football game that
our boys ever engaged in. Then,
too, the Grangeville boys played
a boy doing high school work.
At the end of the first half our
boys objected and he was remov-
ed. Intercollegiate rules were
used almost exclusively in the
last half and our boys, not being
used to them, were at a disad-
vantage. Some of the spectators
might learn something in the
way of handling personalities,
some of their remarks being
rather raw.

EQUIPMENT
FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT

Whenever there is urgent need for
anything in community and the
towpspeople get thoroughly awakened
to that need, quick action generally
results, and Calipatria, after awaken
ing to the needs of fire protection,
has acted promptly.
The material for the fire plugs and
connections has arrived and will be
installed without delay. The hose for
the fire department has all arrived
and with this equipment Calipatria
will have ample protection against
fire.
With the work on installation of
fire plugs and the two 2-story brick
business blocks which are now about
complete, Calipatria streets present /
busy appearance. Stores all seem to
be doing fine business and the land
company reports many inquiries and
sales on the Calipatria Farms of u

Tower Is Opened.
(By Herbert Temple)

Correspondent of the International
News Service)
London, April 20.-The Tower of
London, where the spy from Amer.
lea, Karl Hans Lody. was shot, anG
where several other men charged with
an offense similar to that for which
Lody paid the penalty are incarcer-
ated, is to be made more accessible to
the British public, probably with the
tbJect of lessening the atmosphere Of
horror which now surrounds it.
Visitors may now for the first time
inspect the so-called Bloody Tower.
Six pence (12 cents) is charged each
person. This tower rises adjacent to
the Wakefield tower, where the Brit
ish crown jewels are kept, and is as
sociated with some of the most cele
hrated tragedies in English history.
1T stands Immediately over the arch
way that leads from the Traitors gate
TO the Tower Green, an archward un-
der which for hundreds of years every
political prisoner had to pass. 1t was
built by Edward III.
The warder resident in the Bloody
tower not long ago ran amuck with
an axe, perhaps from staying so long.
in such depressing surroundings. He
chopped many of the carved inscrip-
tlons to bits before he was subdued
Since then no one has slept there.
Entering from the Tower green the
visitor sees the huge windlass and
portcullis, which can still be let down
on the roadway from the Traitors
gate and the river bank.
The interior of the guard room, on
the ground level, shows many inscrip-
tions on the walls which escaped the
fury of the warder's axe. Since his
outbreak these have been transcribed,
numbered and covered with protective
sheets of glass.
Walking up narrow stairway, one
reaches Raleigh's walk, where Sir Wal
ter used to show himself to the crowds
who assembled to see Queen Eliza
beth's famous prisoner until the lieu
tenant of the tower in spite shut him

major German movement, the conclu-
sion must be reached that the German
offensive is spent. This, however, is
not precise in assuming that the
Germans could have developed an Of
fensive in either France or Belgium.
The Withholding of such a movement
is an element establishing the fact
that the Germans have learned dis
cretion.
Since New Years the Germans have
made one serious offensive, at scissors
in the middle of January.
Although the German military lead
ers have shown wonderful foresight
and remarkable powers of organiza-
ton, they were prodigally wasteful of
reserve ammunition early in the war.
SO were the Allies. Both scattered
their fire instead of concentrating il
and only lately has the preponderat
ing power of unlimited artillery fire
centered upon a small area been rec
cgnized. The Germans and Allies botb
now lack ammunition for this pur-
pose.
With the lack of ammunition and
the necessity of sparing life, with a
large part of the enemy's territory in
their possession and the extreme haz-
ard of trench warfare the all-exerting
influence upon the German general
staff, it is difficult to believe that il
new German offensive in the west
could be considered SO far as the
German offensive in the west is con-
cerned the war probably is ended in
France and Belgium, unless the Allies
commit stupendous blunders and give
the Ieutons an unexpected advantage.
