A Joyous Trip on the Good Ship Artic

A grand reception of very unique
nature was thoroughly enjoyed by g
goodly numbsr of their friends last
Tuesday evening when Mr.. and Mrs
J. B Caldwell and family were hosts
in an Oriental tour on their well
known yacht, The Artic.
The affair was arranged to repre-
sent a pleasure voyage on the ocean.
With the invitations were included
tickets good for passage on the
yacht Artic (Which is the name of
the Caldwell electric theater) which
sailed from the Cliff House at San
Francisco on Feb. 9 and visited the
ports of Honolulu, Hawaii; Manila,
Philippine Islands; Yokohoma, Jap
an, and thence back home.
The theatre was cleverly fitted up
to make one feel like he had stepped
aboard passenger boat. The
guests were received in due yrm by
the Captain and Stewardess, Lieuten-
ant and Mrs. J. B. Caldwell and as
signd their respective berths which
were small lunch tables with chairs
for four.
Just before sailing an appropriate
breakfast was served at the Cliff
House at San Francisco, and at each
port thereafter a luncheon of viands
typical of the locality was served by
J. C. Caldwell and Miss Hazel Cook
in native costumes and manners.
The trip was well illustrated with
pictures of the several points visited
and notable people, and dur ng the
stay at Manila a series of views were
thrown on the screen depicting the
operations of the Americans, and
particularly the Washington and
Idaho troops, against the Filipinos
during the earlier conflict in the
Philippines. Soon after leaving
Honolulu the following messages
were received for members of the
party and read by Captain Caldwell:
WIRELESS TELEGRAM.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 9.
To Mayor Miller, on Board Artic:
Pilsner has been taken by the Ger
mans. They are now surrounding Del
icatessen where they are expecting the
wurst. There was falling out between
the Belgian hares and the Welch rare
bits and the Swiss cheese was shot full
of holes. This will make the Irish
stew and the English mustard hot, and
if the Russian caviares the French pas.
try it may start a Swiss movement.
The Spanish onians are strong for a
mix-up and if the home preserves are
called out and spread over the German
noodles they may ketchup with the
navy beans, thereby causing an upris
ing of the Brussels sprouts.

Women on the Jury.


this city sought to replevin horse
from w. II. Bohrer, was tried ir
Squire Hoag's court yesterday aft
ernoon and verdict rendered for the
defendant. The case attracted con-
siderable attention locally as it was
tried before jury composed partly
of members of the gentler sex-the
first of its kind in the history of this
town, the personnel being as follows :
Mesdames M Sharkey, Joe Ivy, 0
A. Jeffreys, and Messrs. ]. E Hes
ton, Arthur Beekley and S. P. Lau-
by.
The defendant, Bohrer, it appears
had been in the employ of the plain
tiff for about a year on his ranch
northwest of town and Mr.. Bywaters
claimed that on going elsewhere to
work, Bohrer had lett horse with
him as a pledge for loan. Later
Bohrer had taken his horse away.
In the evidence produced the latter
showed to the satisfaction of the jury
that he had not put the horse up as
surety and that Bywaters had no
claim on the animal,
S. 0. Tannahill represented the
plaintiff and P. w. Mitchell the de-
fendant in the case.
About thirty ladies of the M. E.
Aid Society met at the home of Mrs.
H. G. Sasse yesterday and spent the
afternoon making comfortable cloth
ing for young Belgian who is ex-
pected to arrive in this country next
month and will make his home with
that family to be reared and educat-
ed as missionary. At about FIVE
O'Clock the ladies prepared sump-
tuous luncheon and thereafter re-
paired to their respective homes, al
lowing their husbands to feed them
selves, or go hungry. "Votes for
winning !"
Miss Addie Aver, of the rural
schools department of the Lewiston
State Normal, was an arrival in Nez-
perez the first of the week and, in
company with County School Super

Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Hoover re-
turned Saturday from an extended
visit at San Diego, Los Angeles and
numerous other California points of
interest. They met several mem
bers of the Nezperce colony down
there and very much enjoyed the en-
tire trip. However, none of the
beautiful prospects that were unfold
ed to their vision decreased their
love for this prairie nor their high
estimate of its compartive value
from commercial standpoint.

BIG DECLINE INDICATED
IN CONDITION OF COTTON
Department of Agriculture Estimates
Crop of fO.05O.O00 Bulcs. Smallest
Since lOjn.

WASHINGTON, October "A heavy
decline in the condition OF the grow
ing cotton crop. almost double the
average decline OF the last ten years.
production prospects forecast earlier in
the season by almost 100000 bales.
The Department of Agriculture to-day
estimated the crop at 10.950,00c cuuiva
lent Compound bales. which would b"
tho smallest crop since 1909
In announcing the condition report
and production estimate. the crop re-
porting board made this statement:
THE cotton crop condition declined
81 points during the month August %
to September -. which compared with
an average decline in the same period
in the past ten years OF 40 points. The
estimated condition of COS per cent
of normal on September % forecasts Il
yield per acre of about les pounds. and
total production following Il reduc-
ton of per cent from planted area
for abandonmenD of about lc,9IO,U00
bales. Last years production was l6,
$4,000 bales. and the 1913 crop H.,
$4,000. y crop less than 100000
bales would be smaller than any crop
since 1909.
The unusual deterioration has been
due principally to the extremes of
weather conditions: periods Of excess
sive rainfall. cold weather and drought
having characterized the season in
most OF the cotton belt. Lack of fer
tilizer and poor quality Of that used
has been an unfavorablc factor in the
eastern portion OF the belt. There is
little promise OF n top crop, except in
the northern portions Of the belt, due
to the climatic conditions and the un-
usual activity OF the boil wecvil; and
when top crop is setting in the
northern portions of the belt. the lat
est report OF the crop there makes
realization dependent upon future ia
vorable weather and late frost
The month, much OF II warm and
dry. has been generally favorable TO
picking, and n much larger percentage
OF the crop is ginncd to this date than
in the usual year. In much of the
southern portion of the belt ginning is
far advanced. and in some sections
there picking Is practically COM
pleted."
