NEW RESIDENCES BUILDING.

There is considerable activity in the
Improvement line in Grangeville and
this week r. B. Kading is starting the
work on a mansion to be constructed
south of the old Wax property on the
corner of South and Meadow streets
The work on the Gilbert property in the
west end of town is progressing rapidly
and the result is showing up in fine
looking house of the bungalo type Of
construction. The new house of Mrs.
Harry Markham in the east end of the
city is nearly ready for occupation and
is a fine modern home. Hub Woods
closed a deal with the First National
Bank last week whereby he acquired
the ownership of the Mcdonald prop
1erty on the corner of the block which
is west of DIR. Stockton IS residence, and
which has been leased by G. B. Camp
bell. Sid King is recent newcomer to
Grangeville coming from Trinidad,
Colorado and has purchased property in
the west side. This is a good list and
with other reported activities bids well
for the future.

20 MACHINES IN TOWN SATURDAY

While Grangeville does not as yet re-
semble Michigan avenue in the way of
the machines seen on her streets just
the same it did look like little city
here last Saturday when at one time
there were close to 90 autos ON the main
throughfare of cur little city. And by
the way have you noticed who he own
ers of most of these machines are, not
the bankers and merchants of the towns
but the farmers. And why not, with
the prosperity they are enjoying car
is not a luxury with them but real
necessity. They like to come 20 town
and do their trading, talk while with
their neighbors and get home two to
three hours earlier than formerly.

in HONOR OF THE MARTINS.

About 40 members and friends Of the

at the, home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Stephens on Monday evening where a
farewell party was given in honor Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gorge G. Martin, who will
leave soon for their new home in Port

joyed by all, save for the deep regret
felt because of the loss of Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin from our midst, both having
been among our most efficient work
ers.

CITY ELECTION next TUESDAY
TO ELECT THE CITY OFFICIALS

The ballot will contain three tickets:
the Citizens ticket, as the first one
filed was designated and which con-
tains all the nominees except the can
didates for the council from the first
ward. The Peoples ticket which con-
tains the candidates for the council
from the first ward, and blank ticket
where those who may not be satisfied
with the candidates nominated can
write in the name or names of their
choice.
Last municipal election the blank
ticket was used to put in a dark horse
in one OF the wards and such may occur
again as the vote in city election is
usually light and with little concerted
action it is possible to spring these sur
prises which go to add that element of
chance in the outcome which makes an
election most interesting to the average
American.

SUCH WILL BE THE RESULT IF
GOV. ALEXANDER's PLANS
ARE REALIZED,
.A.F.PARKER ON COMMISSION
Governor Has Appointed Two of the
Commission and Third to be Chosen
May Mean Special Session.
CONTINUED on page ~

Considerable interest and discussion
has been aroused by the statement made
last week by Governor Alexander to the
press while he was in Spokane announc-
ing that he would back the construction
of a state railroad to be paralleled by
state highway to connect north and
south Idaho, the construction of which
may necessiate the calling of special
session of the state legislature.
As Ilrst step in the plans for a
north and south railroad and highway
Governor Alexander has arranged for
a commission of three men who are to
investigate the situation and gather in
formation and data essential to the pro-
motion of the plan. The appointment
of two of the members of the commits
sion has been announced, these two be
ing Aaron f. Parker of Grangeville and
State Senator J. J. Day of Latah
county. Before the appointment of the
third member the governor expects to
confer with prominent engineer and
will announce the appointment in few
days.
The commission will be called upon tt
report the feasibility of various routes
leading from the end of the O.-W. r.
N. line and from Payette Lake or from
P. & /. N. either to Lewiston or II
Grangeville. After hearing the report
of the commission, Governor Alexandel
announced, that if private interests

FOUR FAMILIES COME BACK.
After Residing at Various Other Places
Come Back to Grangeville.

One of the best recommendations for
Grangeville and the community is the
coming back of old time residents to
again make their home in the city after
an absence of some duration and NOV
ing from place to place. w. A. Hall is
one of the old timers who came back to
make Grangeville his home after resid-
ing at Charleston some time. Mr.. Hall
moved to Charleston from G:angeville
and now is strolling around in the old
haunts. Ben Knorr- wandered farther
away from home than the rest who.
have returned, coming back from Colo
rado. Then there is DIR. Rains who is
having his house fixed up and will
soon be up from Lewiston to resume his
practice in the community. Attorney
F. e. Fogg is planning on moving over
from Nezperce some time during the
latter part of May or the first of June.
Mr. Fogg has resided in several places
since he left Gangeville and has had
j the most experience in testing out the
worth of the different communities
, All the old timers agree that there is no
place like home, and that there is no
home like Grangeville. We are wait
ing for the next arrival. There are
several who are longing and they may
soon be expected.

PLANS FOR BIG PARADE AND
; EVERY SECTION TO BE
REPRESENTED.
LEWISTON TO ENTERTAIN
Many Reservations Made for the Down
river Trip to Canal-special Facili-
ties Provided for Upriver Trip.

Great interest has been manifested in
the waterway celebration to be held at
Lewiston on May to commemorate the
Dalles- Cello canal which opens water
route to the coast and the benefits will
be of great extent in the reduction of
freight and passenger rates.
Nearly every section and community
around Lewiston will be represented at
the celebration and special trains will
be run over the Camas Prairie line and
other lines running into Lewiston.
Plans have been made for a big
parade to be held in Lewiston on the
3rd. According to the arrangement
Section ! will be military; 2, historical;
8, Industrial; 4, distinguished guests; 5,
educational; 6, Charleston; 7, visiting
communities; 8, automobiles. This ar
rangement of course will be subject To
change.

been made for the down river trip tc
the canal and in addition to this facili
ties will be provided for an uprivel
trip and many will avail themself o.

movement will be realized, the benefits
to be derived would be immense and
lasting. And when the work of the
commission has ended In the gathering
of great amount of useful information
in support of the plan, and in showing
up the advantages to be derived, 1t is
hardly possible that the political side
will be urged to such an extent as to
interfere, and there will be hearty
cooperation On all sides to make north

would mean the opening up of an i'm

is practically an unexplored waste. The
increase in population and valuation OF
the section would be of incalculable es
timation. This alone would be suffici

RETAINED DOMESTIC TEACHER.

In speaking of the selection of teach
ers by the local board last week we
failed to mention the retention of Miss
Keith the domestic science teacher.
While this is the first year of that de-
partment and it is sort of an innova-
tion with the pupils, under the supervi-
sion of Miss Keith the pupils have
taken a great interest in this branch
WHICH is becoming more and more re
cognized as one of the most practical
subjects in the schools Of today. A;
reward for her efficiency and ability
the board not only retained her but
voted handsome increase in salary.

ESTABLISH AUTO LINE.

Certain parties have under considera-

cannot be induced to take up the
proposition he will call special session
OF the Idaho Legislature to pass the re-
quired legislation.
The Governors Statement.
The governor made the following
statement in connection with the plans
in mind:
"Before winter l am determined to
have work started on the construction
of a railroad connecting the northern
! and southern parts of the state, either
by private interests or under state con-
troll said the governor. "The ad-
ministration of a new state like Idaho
is business, and should not be in any
way mixed up with politics. The open
ing of the vast stock and fruit resources
of great part of the state is bust
ness that will do more to promote the
welfare of Idaho than any other one
thing l can do.
"There is enough water power 60
ing to waste in this section to furnish
all of the power needed in Idaho, east
ern Washington and Montana. My
commission will work first on the FEAST
bility Of constructing the railroad to
be operated by electricity, but if this
is not feasible, then a steam road will
be constructed. 1t is almost as import
ant to construct highway frcm the
north to the south, and his will be done
at the same time the railroad is built.
81 have no doubt but that if 1 call
a special session of the state legisla-
ture any measures for the building of
the railroad and the highway will be
passed by it.
81 predict that before my term in
/ oftice is concluded that it will be pos
sible to leave Boise after breakfast in
the morning and eat supper at Grange
vile, feat never yet accomplished.
| Appointees Good Men.
In making his appointments and
choosing Mr.. Parker and Senator Day
the governor has chosen two of the
best men he can find to aid in promot-
ing the project and to represent the
northern part of the state. Both Mr.
Parker and Mr.. Day have been closely
identified with every movement for the
progress of this part of the state. A
F. Parker has put in more than thirty
years of study on the feasibility of a
north and south road and has gathered
much data and information which will
aid the promotion of the connection
with south Idaho and which will show
the benefits to be derived by the state
at large in the construction of a means
of better communication between the
two sections of the state.
Mr.. Parker is unwilling at present t.
make any statement as the official ap
: pointment has not yet been made an(
has nothing to say other than the mat
ter has always been one Of more thar
vital interest to him and that he ha
devoted much time to the study of th
subject and is prepared when authoriz
ed by official appointment to devot
his best efforts to make the railroa'
! and highway possibility.
There is considerable comment bot
in commendation and the usual skepti
0 cal attitude taken by the individual
s who are always ready to make politi
cal issue out of any movement for tn
n betterment of the state and especiall
o of the northern and southern section.
t But in spite of the criticism and tn
r skepticism, every comment carries a
s admission that whether or not tn
