Another Pioneer Gone

w. A. Hall, one of the old pio-
neer citizens of Idaho county,
died at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. D. Sasenberry, in Grange
vile on Thursday night Of last
week from heart failure and other
complications. III e deceased
came to Idaho county in 1884 as
an instructor in the academy and
was later a minister and engaged
for a number of years in the
practice of law. He resided at
Charleston for a couple of years
but returned to Grangeville again
last spring. The deceased was a
gentleman of the highest type
and was held in high esteem by
all who knew him. The funeral
was held Saturday at Grangeville
and was quite largely attended.

McKinnOn Will Ask
For Pardon

We notice by the Grangeville
Free Press that Allan McKinnon,
formerly of this place, will apply
for a pardon in the near future.
McKinnon, who formerly repre-
sented the Interior Warehouse
company at this place, was con-
Nicted of embezzlement and SEN
fenced to serve from 1 to ID
years in the state penitentiary.
McKinnon always bore a first
class reputation here and it is be-
lieved by his friends that, while
perhaps technically guilty, he
was more the victim of unfortun-
ate circumstances than a crimi-
nal. If there is any man in Idaho
deserving of a full and complete
pardon it is Allan McKinnon and
the Chronicle sincerely hopes he
may soon be breathing the free
air again and take up his former
place in daily affairs.

Disappointed Deer Hunters

There were some deer hunters
in the Boise section who, after
being successful in the field, had
all their good fortune desert them
on their way home. The hunters
were E. Schweiger and julius
Kiker, of Boise, and they had
gone up the Boise river on a
hunting excursion. On their way
out, in a covered wagon, they
met Deputy Game Warden E. F.
Boren and after telling the officer
that their luck had been good,
each man having secured two
deer, the wagon was searcheo'
when nine deer were found.
The hunters were taken before
q Justice of the peace at Arrow
rock and fined 5000 each with
costs. and then to cap the climax.
all the game was confiscated'
The deer were placed on sale by
tbe state on Monday of this week,
it being provided that only SIX
pounds would be sold to each per- r.
son and the price was fixed at 70
cents a pound.

Record Price Land Sale

A land sale was consummated
last week, whereby Joseph Weis,
who has lived on the w. |. Long
farm, a mile north of this village
for some time, purchased of Will
liam Lies, of Cottonwood, the 1872
acres, also known as one of the
Long farms; the south line being
about a half mile north of this
village.
The purchase price is given us
as $4,000, or $1OO an acre. This,
we believe, is the highest price
ever paid for land in this imme-
diate vicinity, considering the
building improvements are not
of a very extensive nature.
Mr.. Weis came here less than
a year ago from Perham, Mime
sofa, one of the best grain pro-
ducing sections located anywhere
and during his residence in the
west has pretty thoroughly sized
up the situation, and we opine
Joseph Weis weist was er kauft.

St. Mary's Church Fair

AS reported in our last weeks
issue, the Catholic church fair
eclipsed every other topic in
vogue, war and politics included.
The whole community had unan-
imously united to make the three
days celebration the great success
it has proved to be. Last Tues
day at 8 p. m. the fair committee
held a final meeting at st. Mary's
rectory for balancing the ac-
counts, at the end Of which the
Rev. Pastor had the pleasure to
announce as total clearings the
sum of $2018.95. Such results
cannot fail to document not only
the financial strength of our COM
munity. but are undoubtedly q
proof of harmony and good will
of all our citizens who take de-
light in helping to verify the goal
of their brethren. We are in
formed that all the leading busi-
ness houses aided the fair in
many ways by contributing to
the departments Of sale, by Of
fering rooms for the occasion. re-
duction in prices for the articles
needed, etc. The happy winners
Of prizes at the close Of the fair
were: $3.50 leather chair, F. S.
Winner; 5 little pigs, Theodore
Schaecher; one hog each, B.
Krieger, M. Lies, J. H. Klap-
prich, J. F. Jenny, H. Bosse; 10
sacks Of Cottonwood -four, Mrs.
Sulzinger; one calf each, J. v.
Baker and K. Sprute; writing
desk, Mrs. Giezentanner; butter
churn, c. H. Brooke; gang plow,
]. H. Zodrow; silk quilt, Mrs. ].
Kolbeck; another quilt, Angela
Meyer; $40 gold piece, Gerhard
Uhlenkott. In the contest for the
cabinet Singer sewing machine
Miss Lizzie Tackle, and for the
washing machine Mrs. James
Peyer gained the prizes. The
generosity Of st. Mary's congre-
cation proved itself further by
the fact that many Of the happy
winners turned their gains over
to the committee in order to real
ize bigger net profits for the
church fund or to the Rev. Pastor
for his private disposal. Amongst
the latter were even such gifts
as the sewing machine, a holy
scroll, an antique hall lamp, q
silk quilt and a heating stove.
mo doubt the fair will long be
remembered as a joyful event in
the history of st. Mary's church
by all church members.

Dollar Day" Proved A
Big Success

In spite of the fact that the
people had spent their money
most generously at the Catholic
church fair for three days before
and that the weather was any
thing but pleasant, Cottonwood's
first Dollar Day proved to be a
screaming success and the mer-
chants and business men gener-
ally are strongly in favor of re-
peating it in the near future.
The Dollar Day was put on by
the members of the commercial
club, the idea being to give real
bargains and free amusement
and thereby engender a better
feeling between the business
houses and their patrons, and The
result proved far superior to the
1ondest expectations of those en-
gagged in the movement. While
tne streets were not crowded
with people coming to buy and no
extra police had to be called out
TO control congested traffic, the
stores were comfortably crowded
all day by those who came in to
prove to their own satisfaction
that Cottonwood merchants would
DO what they advertised and when
receipts were counted up that
night many of the business houses
found themselves several hundred
dollars richer than they would
nave been under ordinary condi-
lions, and their customers all
went home feeling that they had
secured real bargains in the shape
OF more seasonable goods for their
money than they had ever pur-
chased before.
The amusement features also
took we'll with the crowd and the
moving picture theatre was well
hlled all afternoon, while the free
dance at night drew a crowd that
taxed the big hall to its capacity
to accommodate.
In fact, the public generally
seemed we'll pleased with the re-
suits of the first Dollar Day ano
when a committee called upon the

RIG VOTE AT
ROAD ELECTION
Excellent Board of Commits
sioners Chosen for the Next
Four Years---Voting Quite
Spirited.

In spite of the dismal day and
stormy weather Tuesday the in
dependent. .highwaysdistrict elec-
tion developed into quite a con-
test and a total of 21O votes were
east for the different candidates
before the polls closed that even
inp. While no regular nomina-
tion of candidates had been made
two well defined tickets seemed
to be in the field and the race
simmered down to pretty close
contest toward the last. The vote
cast was generally representa-
tiye~of the district, beingi about
equally divided between residents
of the town and the country por-
tons of the highway district.
The candidates and the vote re-
ceived by each was as follows:
August Schroeder, 158; j. F. Jen-
ny, 1876; w. B. Hussman, SO;
Frank Forsman, 80; A. MacMas-
ter, 72; E. q. Lamb, 35; Joseph
Kaufman, IA; S. M. Brown, 8;
Ed. Sonnen, /; Riley Rice, l;
Howard Mckinley, 2. Messrs.
Schroeder, Jenny and Hussman,
having received the highest vote,
will serve the highway 1sdistrict
as commissioners for the next
four years and, by reason of their
previous experience in like capa-
city, Messrs. Schroeder and Huss-
man having served on the Keu-
terville highway district board
and Mr.. Jenny on the local board,
the residents of the district can
look forward to much good road
work being accomplished during
their tenure of office.

Paid Nice Price For Herefords

August Schroeder recently sold
three fine Hereford bulls for
breeding purposes to residents of
this county. One of the animals
was secured by Charles Jeffries,
of the Fairview district, for SITS,
while Ed. Lancaster purchased
a registered bull for $3.50 and a
fine high grade bull for $85 for
use in his herd on Salmon river.
All of the animals were young
but were from the best blood in
this part OF the state. Mr.. Lam
caster, who has been raising
Shorthorns for many years, has
recently began to introduce Here
ford blood into his herd because
of the superior qualities of the
latter animal on the range and
its rustling proclivities and, with
the new stock just secured, will
soon have a fine bunch of white
faces on his ranch along the
river.
Mr.. Schroeder, who has been
breeding purebred Herefords for
a number of years and has some
of the best of the breed in the
state, has no trouble in disposing
of his extra breeding stock at
nice prices, as those who deal
with him are always sure of
square and honest treatment.

DR.. Orr returned Sunday even
ing from Spokane at which place
he assisted in performing a ma

successful and the lady will be
able to return home within a few

Jack Rookie returned the first
of the week from his hunting
trip up the Selwai above Kooskia
and reports that his party got the
limit of deer without any diff
Guilty. He said they had bad
bad weather all the time they
were gone but otherwise had a
very enjoyable trip. There are
plenty of deer back in that coun-
try if one goes in far enough and
the difficulty is to limit oneself to
just what the law says you may
have. Fishing was also fine and
Mr.. Zehner kept the camp well
supplied with this delicacy while
they were out. Jack says there
were other parties in there who
got very little game but he can
not understand the reason for
their poor luck.

COnvictS Will Build
North-South Highway

E. A. Van Sicklin, the Weiser
member Of the state highway
commission, returned Saturday
evening from Boise where he at
tended a meeting Of the commits
sion at which action was taken
on the construction of the north
and south state highway. The
road will be built so far as is pos
sible by convict labor thereby
connecting the northern and
southern sections of this state
with road that can stand heavy
travel and which will be safe
from one end of the year to the
other. The decision is of the ut
most Importance for it is the ini-
tial step towards making the con-
Meeting link between the north
and south and will precede the
building of the railroad on which
the north and south railroad COM
mission is now working.
The highway commission was
unanimous in it's decision to start
convicts to work on the north
and south road. The work will
commence on or about January
l, 1916. AS large a crew of con-
victs as it is safe to work at one
time will be removed from the
state penitentiary to Higgins in
Idaho county where the prelimi-
nary camp will be installed. The
route of the highway as designat
ed by the commission is from
Weiser to New Meadows via Pol
lock and Grangeville via Higgins.
A resolution was passed by the
commission making the designa-
ton of the route and declaring
for convict labor on the work.
The fact that convict labor on
road work has proven a success
in the test made on the Shoshone
grade, leads the state highway
commission to believe the same
labor will be a success in helping
towards the construction of the
north and south highway. The
Shoshone grade work was some
what of an experiment. The
prison labor is now found to be
very satisfactory so far as good
roads are concerned and is bene-
fetal to the prisoners.
1t has been repeatedly urged
that some definite action be taken
toward the building of not only a
north and south railroad but a
north and south highway. 1t has
been persistently claimed that a
north and south highway should
precede construction of a north
and south railroad. .-Weiser

At-a meeting of the town school committee Friday evening in the rooms of the superintendent of schools one matter that was thoroughly dis cussed was the protest by the residents of the neighborhood of Pearl street to the use of the Pearl street school grounds for a playgrounds during the summer under the auspices of the pIaygrounds association.
 The different points brought up by those who appeared at the hearing given on the matter were discussed from different angles, but the decision reached by the committee was to with hold definite action on the protest pending question they have to pre- sent to the town counsel The meet ing was adjourned until Monday aft ernoon at o'clock, when they hope either to have the town counsel attend their meeting or to have received an answer from him on the legal point that has been raised.
 The point in question is whether the school board has the right to allow the use of the school grounds for any other than educational purposes.
 It is understood that, should the town counsel give decision that they
