become that when he stopped to

With the approaching opening
of the Frisco fair this spring the
fever seized Mr.. Brissette to a.
gain place Cottonwood before
the eyes of the world and, with
the backing of local boosters, he
at once laid plans to carry out
his decision. In order to give
the fair visitors a run for their
money he decided this time to do
something never before attempted

The body of Perry Silcott. a
butcher for the Inland meat CON-

of Snake river by fishing crew

left his home in Lewiston on the
evening of February 18th and
had been missing since that date.
He was traced until within half
an hour of his death, his watch
having stopped at 9:2O P. M. "A

so many horses and obeying every

several weeks ago secured four
hogs of the mule-foot variety

In the meantime a dandy minia-

than a regular mountain wagon
but equally far removed from

by the local machinist, Fred Ber-

Organize Prairie Ball League

A letter was received here re-
Gently calling a meeting of base
ball representatives from the
various towns on the two prairies
for the purpose of forming base
ball league for the coming season.
The meeting is called to meet at
Vollmer tomorrow, March Goth,
and the aim is to organize a
bush league" to include the
towns of Grangeville, Cotton
wood, Ferdinand, Ilo-Vollmer,
Nezperce and Winchester. 1t is
suggested that only home players
be played and that the expenses
be limited to an amount that can
be met by the gate receipts.
Cottonwood should send a dele
gate to this meeting as this town
will surely be in the league if
one is formed. Base ball will be
about our only source of amuse-
ment this year and there are too
many loyal fans here to pass up
the national game entirely. We
can no doubt put as fast a team

lines that can be taken up. This
necessarily means forage crops

The only thing lacking at this
time is the complete subjugation
of the pigs and the arrival of
certain pennants and other ad-
vertising matter which Mr.. Bris-
sette intends spreading broadcast

the one is accomplished and the
other arrives "Frenchy" will be

vertising Cottonwood and Camas
Prairie to the world, Mr.. Bris-
site intends taking in all of the
state and county fairs along the
way on his return trip next fall
and hopes to come home with
unlimited glory and a goodly
portion of wealth acquired along
the route. That he will provide
one of the most unique attrac-

many eyes and minds to turn to-

saying, and for this reason and
in appreciation of his efforts the
local boosters are backing him to
the limit.

Noted Aviator Falls to Death

Lincoln Beachy, one of Amer
ica's most daring aviators, was
drowned in San Francisco bay
Sunday afternoon while making
his second flight for the day from
the exposition grounds. Beachy
was trying out a new machine
and in making one of his sensa-
tional perpendicular drops Il e
machine crumpled beneath him
and fell into the bay while thou
sands of spectators looked on and
were powerless to assist. Beachy
was not killed by the fall but
was drowned while trying to free
himself from the machine.
Beaohy was Americas most
skillful and daring aviator and
did many impossible stunts in
the air before other aviators
thought OF such things being
possible. He later withdrew from
the game but was drawn back
again after the French aviators
became so expert and to show
them that an American could
duplicate their most difficult aerial
feats. Beachy's death is a sad
blow to aviation in this country
and especially in army circles,
where the use of the aeroplane
is being recognized as a neces-
sary adjunct to the martial de-
fenses of any nation.
