State Utilities Commission
Held Session Here

The state utilities commission
met in session here Wednesday
and listened to two cases, in both
of which the Cottonwood Milling
Co. was involved as complainant.
In the first case complaint was
made against the Camas Prairie
Railway Co. for failure or refusal
to grant sidetrack privileges to
the milling company at its
grounds in the north end of town,
and in the second case the
Grangeville Electric Light &
Power Co. was charged with
charging unjust rates and dis
elimination and negligence in
providing service.
The utilities commission con-
sists of Axel Ramsted, chairman;
A. l.. Freehafer and J. w. Gra-
ham. They were assisted by
Capt. E. G. Davis as counsel. In
the first case the railroad COM
pany was represented by F. N.
Finch and w. J. Jordan, with
Jas. E. Babb, of Lewiston, as
their attorney. In the second
case Eugene Enloe and Mr..
Simpson, president and manager
respectively of their company,
argued their own case. Geo. E..
Erb, of Lewiston, appeared as
attorney for the Cottonwood
Milling Co. in both cases. A
number of witnesses were ex-
amined and the commission COM
pleted it's work about 5 O'Clock
P. M, going to Grangeville that
evening and leaving yesterday
for Boise by way of the Salmon
river valley where they looked
over the route of the proposed
state highway.
The evidence in both cases
above mentioned was taken down
by the commissions stenographel
and, after being submitted to the
attorney general, an opinion will
be rendered in the course of the
next six weeks.

Matinee at Orphem
Every Sunday

Manager Wilson, of the Orphe-
um Theatre, has announced that
hereafter he would run matinees
at that popular play house every
Sunday afternoon for the benefit
of those who find it hard to idle
away their day of rest. The
program will be the same as that
offered in the evening. On this
coming Sunday he has booked an
unusually interesting program
which is sure to prompt favor
able comment from all who see
it. The dramatic feature for
that day will be two-reel Ma
jestic entitled "A Flight for a
Fortune" and it is commented
upon most favorably by the crit
les. It's scenes are tremendously
gripping and there is a riot of
action from beginning to end.
The comedy presentation for
the afternoon and evening will
be ludicrous affair by the Kom-
ic Film Co. entitled "Ethel's
Roof Party" and we can safely
guarantee that this laugh maker
will start something in the joy
line.

Nux oll-knop Wedding

The marriage of Miss Gertrude
Nuxoll to John F. Knop was sol.
emnized at the local Catholic
church on Tu esday morning, Rev.
Father Wi l.brord officiating.
Miss Dina Nuxoll, of Greencreek,
supported the bride and William
Waldmann acted as best man.
After the ceremony the wedding
party repaired to the Nuxoll
residence on King street, where
a sumptuous wedding feast was
spread and, in spite of the steady
downpour, a large number of
relatives and friends gathered to
DO honor to the occasion. The
day was spent with the usual
festivities and in the evening a
big dance was given at the
Orpheum, which was attended
by young folks from far and
near, the large hall being filed
to its fullest capacity. The dance
held sway until the wee hours of
the next morning.
The young couple were the re-
cipients of many valuable and
beautiful presents.
The bride is the youngest
daughter of H. H. Nuxoll, a pio-
neer citizen of this place and
president of the German State
Bank, and is a charming young
lady we'll worth the winning.
The groom is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Knop, well-to-do
farmers of this locality, and is a
young man in every way worthy
of the life partner he has secured.
The happy couple will reside
on the farm of the groom's fa-
ther, north of town, and the
Chronicle joins with their many
friends in wishing them a full
allowance of welded bliss.

May Call Bond Election

The Mountaineer is in receipt
of information from a reliable
source to the effect that the COM
missioners of the county are now
seriously considering the advisa-
bility of calling a special election
to bond Idaho county in an a.
mount not exceeding 5000, 900,
with which to build bridges and
improve highways throughout
the county.
If deemed advisable an elec-
ton would be called some time
this fall not later than the first
of the year and if the bonds
should carry, preliminary work
would then be inaugurated the
coming spring preparatory to the
substantial program later on.
The purpose for which money
derived from the sale of bonds,
would be to construct the bridge
at Whitebird and Kooskia and
purchase a half interest in the
toll bridge at Kamiah, a bill to
take over the latter one, being
vetoed by the governor under his
socalled economic administration.
There would also be segregated
funds with which to construct
roads and improve those already
established, for illustration the
Tahoe and Winona roads would
have sufficient means expended
on them by which they would be
made into first class condition,
and the various roads throughout
the county would share equally
as well.
There will no doubt be opposi-
tion to the proposed scheme by
which people would have a much
better system of roads and get
rid of paying a heavy tax as toll
on ferries and bridges. But there
hasn't as to yet, been any other
plan as feasible as bond issues,
with which to improve public
necessities. .-Kooskia Mountain

A Record in Trout

We hear of frequent large
catches of trout from neighbor-
ing sections that are very good,
and lest some of these sections
think that we are very far be-
hind in that particular would like
to mention a catch of one of our
townsmen on Tuesday, May 9Th,
as we want to have some of the
foresaid sections take notice.
On the day mentioned, Ray
mond J. Whitted caught in 8
hours, between 8 a. m. and A p.
M, three hundred and forty-five
trout in Little Canyon, close to
town. The distance the brook
was worked was about two and
one-half miles, and the entire
catch averaged 6 inches in length,
the largest being 13 inches long.
Mr.. Whitted averaged one a min
ute for greater portion of the
time. The entire catch must
have averaged better than one
every one and one-half minutes.
The above can be attested to
by witnesses if there be any so
incredulous as to question the
truthfulness of the story. Peck

FARM EXPERTS
HERE THURSDAY
Greatest Agricultural Author
ity in United States Will
Lecture at Creencreek and
Cottonwood to Farmers.

The Chronicle desires to cal
the special attention of all it.
readers among the farmers anC
stockmen of Camas prairie to the
two meetings to be held by Prof
Thomas Shaw and Prof. E. A.
Wilson at Greencreek and Cot.
tonwood on Thursday of next
week, May 9th. The Greencreek
meeting will be held at the hall
at 2 o'clock P. M. and the greater
part of the afternoon will be
spent in listening to the speakers
and propounding questions for
them to answer. The Cottonwood
meeting will be held in the l. O.
0. F. hall at 7:30 P. M. Both
meetings are free and all that is
asked is that the farmers come
out from their homes and listen
to the information these speakers
have to impart.
Prof. Shaw is recognized as one
of the greatest authorities on d.
versified farming and stockrais-
ing in the United States, if not
in the entire world. He is a man
70 years of age and has spent
the greater part of his life in
actual demonstration of the truths
he proclaims. 1t is with great
difficulty that he can be secured
for such occasions and as he may
never visit this section again no
farmer should fail to hear him
this time.
Prof. Wilson is also an author
ity on the growth of alfalfa and
forage crops, being employed by
the Northern Pacific railway
company as it's own agricultural
expert. He will talk on How
to Grow Alfalfa" and what
grasses to grow on soil not suited
to the first named plant. Ample
opportunity will be given for the
asking of questions by the audi
ence and great benefit is bound
to be derived from both meet
ings.
Talk the matter up with your
neighbors, dear reader, and ar
range to be there. The meetings
are for your particular benefit
and all that is asked is your pres
ence. If you gain nothing from
the meetings neither do you lose,
and we feel certain you will go
away far richer in beneficial in
formation than when you came.

resident of Cottonwood, passed
away last Friday at Spokane, to
which place she had been brought

prolonging her life. The deceas-
ed had been in failing health for

Death of Miss Collins

Charleston, May Mis-
Blanche Collins, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. o. M. Collins, died Al
II O'Clock this morning at hel
parents farm near Genesee, hel
death being due to nervous dis
orders of more than a years
standing. The news of the death
of their sister was communicated
by telephone this noon to the
Misses Amy, Jeanette and Pear
Collins, who are residing here
and attending school, and they
departed for the farm this after
noon. The funeral will be con-
Quoted from the Union church at
Uniontown Sunday morning at II
O'Clock. and it is expected that
interment will take place in the
Uniontown cemetery.
The news of the death of Miss
Collins comes as a distinct shock
to her many friends in Charleston,
for while it was known that she
was in very poor health no one
realized the graveness of her dis
ease. Several weeks ago she was
taken away to sanitarium near
Portland and placed under the
care of specialists, but last Sun
day, accompanied by her father,
she returned home, her condition
not improved.
Besides her parents, the de-
ceased is survived by two broth
ers, Oscar and Monroe, of Union
town and Genesee, and by five
sisters, Mrs. Walter Flint, of
Portland, Miss Flora Collins, of
Genesee, and the Misses Amy,

MUST MOVE
Court Finds Them a Nuisance
and Owner Taxed $50
Must Move Yards Soon and
May Quit the Business.
The trial Of, the state of Idaho

The trial of, the state Of Idaho
Tvs. John Meyer. charged with
maintaining a nuisance, in the
shape of hog yards at or near
the town of Cottonwood, was
heard before the probate court at
Grangeville Monday and resulted
4 in the conviction of the defend
ant, who was fined $50 by Pro-
4 bate Judge Harris. The case
q occupied the entire day and went
s to the jury at $50 P. M, a ver-
4 dict being reached within a few
a minutes after the jury retired
4 from the court room. The jury
\ recommended clemency by the
4 court and the judge assessed the
\ minimum fine.
The state.was represented by
County Attorney Hattabaugh
and Atty. Miles Johnson, of
Lewiston, while Atty, w. N.
Scales appeared for the defense.
Eight witnesses were examined
by the state and seven by the
defense.
1t is seldom that a case of this
kind is taken to court, the party
against whom complaint is made
usually preferring to pay a fine
and comply with the demands of
the state inspector, but as the
local company had secured tie
approval of the state board of
health in locating their yards at
the present site and the county
board of health had inspected
and passed upon the yards last
month they decided to take the
case through court and find out
what rights they had in the mat
ter. The prosecution held that
no public officer had the right to
authorize the commitment of a
crime, and as even the defense
did not deny but that the pens
smelled badly at times, in spite
of being kept in the best possible
shape for dirt pens where such
numb ers of hogs are kept, there
was nothing left for the jury but
to return a verdict for the state.
The milling company has been
given thirty days in which to re-
move their hogs to a more favor
able location or dispose of them
entirely and it is possible an ex-
tension may be granted in case
the hogs cannot be fitted for
market and shipped to Portland
within that time.
No one questions but that the
yards are improperly located at
their present site and should be
removed, but the fact still re-
mains that the owners are heavy
losers by reason of being forced
to move last year and again
by acting on erroneous advice of
the state board in the selection
of new lit.
The milling company is unde-
cided as yet whether they will
continue in the hog business or
not, as it is impractical to feed
to advantage at any distance
from their mill and a suitable To-
cation near town is very hard to
secure. 1t is to be hoped that
they succeed in adjusting matters
satisfactorily as they utilize large
quantities of mill feed in fatten-
ing their hogs and are often able
to buy and feed out hogs that
otherwise would not be market
able, to say nothing of maintain
ing a high price in the local hog
market at all times.
