By far the most interesting event
that has transpired since the ORGAN
izatian of Jackson county will take
place at Sylvia on the 18th of next
month when a beautiful monument
in comm0ration of the deeds of the
Confederate soldiers ard their wives,
both living and dead, will be un
unveiled.
Nearly every individual in the
county will have a deep personal
interest in this occasion as almost
every one had fathers, mothers,
brothers or sisters whose fortunes,
whose sacred honor and evee whose
lives were laid upon the alter of the
Civil War.
There are many citizens of Jack
son whose fathers brothers or hus-
bands sleep in unmarked graves on
the fields of Virginia, Georaia or
Tennessee, or died slow deaths in
Northern prisons, helpless in the
presence of relentless and often
cruel captors, with the heroic asse-
veration, with their last gasp, of
their allegiance to Dixie-to their
homes and their starving wives and
children.
1t is in highest honor and perpet-
ual memory of heroes and heroines
like these that this lasting memorial
is being erected. 1t is our small,
belated tribute to their great sacri-
flee. How fortunate it is that a
handful of the veterans of that wal
are still with us to behold and tC
enjoy our feeble tribute.
In the face of solemn claims. such
as these, upon our patriotism, oul
love and reverence for all which i.
dear to a loyal people we are deter
mined to make this the largest at
tended and the happiest occasion IL
the sixty-three years of count!
history.
And now we extend to every sur
viving veteran and his wife AM
family; to every widow of Confed
crate soldier, God bless her in he
lonely old age, in the beauty, purit!
and nobility of her character; t
every son and grandson, daughte

crops OF the Prairies needed his at
tention and on Tuesday might a gentle
rain set in and continued until the fol-
lowing noon, disposing of everything

the bucking contest.
The parade was magnificent affair

served.
In the afternoon the first ball game
Of the tournament took place at the

with their hearty support.
Mr. Evans. who Is a member of the
state board of education and has a
Wide ACQUAINTANCE throughout all parts
OF the state. probably has as many
friends and as few enemies as any man
before the public at this time. He
has been active in politics both in
ms county and in the state for a num-
Der of years, but it has been clean
and fair politics that he has stood for
at all times, and never has he allow
ed his name to be connected with any
questionable acts for expediency sake
and to beat the enemy. On account
OF this fact he has his party behind
him In his own county and counts
among his warmest friends a large
number of the leading members of the
opposition party. MIR. Evans is not
an effusive gusher, but is decidedly of
the quiet and modest order; neither
Is he what is commonly termed "a
mixer" but he has a quiet way of
reaching and establishing friendly re-
lationship with those with whom he
desires to come in contact, that is
far better and more permanent in its
results than the superficial mixer
Mr.. Evans home people greatly ap-
preciate the honor which has been con-
ferred upon him at Boise, and will not
hesitate to back him up to the last
ditch in the duties which he has as
sumed in the interest of better poll
tical conditions in the state
The matter of naming the state Sec
retary, 1t is understood, has been left
to the Judgment of the new chairman,
but that is matter for serious con-
sideration and will be announced by
him only after due deliberation and a
thorough canvass of the field. Mr..
Evans has called a meeting of the
state executive committee for the nth
at Boise, at which he will be present

From available information it would
seem that the choice of Mr.. Evans as
chairman was made in caucus before
the committee met in regular session,
as he had absolutely forbidden that
his name be voted upon should any
other candidate enter into the con-
test for that important office, and it
is believed that his wishes were re-

This unselfish action was rewarded
by the committee rendering him the

Grangeville enjoyed a rare treat last
play at the opera house, Tangled in
Texas
The Friars' Club outdid themselves
in this three-act comedy and the aud
ience, the largest ever given a home
ing their appreciation.
The chief funmaker in the cast was
Texana Gump the hired girl on the
Tau Cross ranch. She was an original
character whose musical ability was
keenly relished. Miss Mamie Long play
ed this part with her usual success and
some besides
Mr. Max Juniper (Harold Harris) and
his wife, Willy Bud (Miss Virginia
Branscombe), resided on the Tau Cross
ranch. They were a young married
couple who, after only a year of we'd
ded blissa were having their domestic
troubles. Max was engrossed In the
business of the ranch and was conse-
Quently neglecting his wife and she
felt the negligence and worried over
It, Harold Harris interpreted the part
of the busy ranchman very happily
and Miss Virginia was the worried
young wife to perfection. AT this
time the jumpers were entertaining
Miss Jean McLain. the governors
daughter, (Miss Ruth Branscombe), a
bright, vivacious, seventeen-year-
old young lady who scattered sunshine
everywhere Miss Jean discovered the
cause of Mrs. jumpers worry and i'm
mediately set about to remedy the
trouble. he and Mrs. Juniper together
wrote a letter to an imaginary "Ted"
which was left where Max would see
it. Miss Ruth never appeared to
greater advantage than in the role Of
Miss Jean. Little Miss Fixit"
Mr.. Alonzo Willing, ranchman
and bachelor, was an early caller
at the Tau Cross ranch that morn
ing. Mr. Willing was anxiously
searching for a wife. He proposed to
every girl that he met. Miss Jean
proved no exception
Gilbert Eimers could not be beaten
as the amorous Alonzo. He scored a
success right from the start. Soon
after his appearance at the ranch, two
autoists appeared. a young man and
young lady, seeking gasolene and re-
pair tools. They proved to be Ted
Keegan and Victoria Dale. two diamond
thieves making their escape across the
country with some loot stolen In San

Tangled in Texas" Was Success

Antonio the evening before. Mac Leon
ard and Miss Irene Parsons deserve
all praise for their success in inter-
preting these difficult characters. In
the course of the play, Vic discovers
the letter and reads 1t thinking the
Ted of the letter is her companion
and she accuses him to Max Juniper
who proceeds to beat him up for trying
to elope with Willy Bud. In the
meantime, Jim Larrabee, the sheriff
of the county has arrived In search
of the diamond thieves. Miss Jean
turns him off the scent and locks him
down cellar. Afterwards he gets out
and Vic turns him off after Alonzo
and Texana whom he handouts togeth-
er preparatory to taking them back to
San Antonis. Rev. H. E. Buch carried
this part with vigor and pompous au-
thority The story finally clears up
and the jumpers are happy, the thiev-
es escape and Alonzo goes home re-
fused
Altogether Tangled in Texas" was
put on by the strongest amateur cast
Grangeville has ever seen. The action
was fast, no prompting was needed, in
fact the show was highly pleasing
from first to last.
Tangled In Texas scored another
success when on Tuesday 1t was re-
peated to the largest house that ever
saw a repeat performance In our town.
Grangeville may well be proud of her
amateur dramatic organization, the
Friars' Club.

July 26th at Mccall, Desig-
mated by Gov. Alexander
for First Meeting.
MAKE TRIP in AUTOS
No Appropriation for Commiss-
ions Expenses, Gov. Requests
Members to Furnish Autos.

Arrangements have been completed for
the first meeting OF the North and
South Railroad Commission to be held
at Mccall, Idaho, the terminus of the
: Oregon Short Line, on the Payette
branch for the 26th of July. On the
same day another meeting will be held

arations will be made for the trip
towards Grangeville and Lewiston.
A. f. Parker. the local member of
, the commission, has been notified by
the governor and is now making prep
arations for the trip. Mr. Parker Is
an energetic booster for the north and
south road and there is no doubt
that his extensive knowledge of the
topography of the country through
which the proposed road will traverse
win be of much value to the commits
sion.
Following is a synopsis of the letter
OF the governor received by Mr. Park
er early this week:
"There will be a meeting of the
North and South Railroad commission
on the afternoon OF Monday, July 2s
at Mccall, Idaho, the terminus of the
Oregon Short Line railroad on the
Payette Lakes branch. On the even
ing of the same day another meeting
VIII be held at New Meadows, where
plans will be discussed and prepara-
tions made for the start towards
Grangevile and Lewiston ON the morn
ing of July 27th.
AS there Is no appropriation avail
able for the expenses of the commission
and as 1t will, probably, require two
automobiles to carry us across the
country l have written Senator Jerome
j. Day, of Moscow, a member of the
commission, asking him to kindly fur
nish one of the automobiles and to
meet me at Mccall on the afternoon
OF the 26th. | am asking, also, whether
1t may not be possible for you to do
the same thing, 1t may require two
automobiles to carry the party-there
VIII be three members of the commis-
sion, the governor. the state engineer
ana, quite likely, one or two others"

At the close of the ball game the
horses were brought into the enclosure
and number of fine exhibitions were
given. Arthur McSpedden was the first
rider up and rode his mount in true
western style. The next man to try
his skill against that of the horse was
one of our red brothers, and after a
few jumps was landed in the dust.
Ray Church gave the audience a num-
ber of thrills by the manner in which
he retained his seat through the
leaps and twists of the horse allot-
ted to him. A number of other rid
ers afforded entertainment for the
many visitors
The rain of Tuesday night and Wed
nesday forenoon put somewhat of a
damper on the program scheduled for
the closing day. The nifty little band
from Denver serenaded all the busi-
ness houses, marching into each in
turn. playing a selection, and marching
out to the next place. In the after

occurred at the ball park before quite

FIRE LOSS AT wHlTEeiRp.
Five Horses cremated When Fire De.
Stroyed Three BuIdinos


Fire of an unknown origin destroved
three buildings, merchandise and livery
STOCKS and five horses last night the
loss amounting to about $6,00O which
is partially covered by insurance. The
IRE was discovered after midnight and
al That time the entire upper portion
OF the livery barn was in flames, 1t
appears the fire started in the loft of
The barn and the flames spread with
such rapidity that five horses were
cremated
The livery barn was conducted by
Joe Davis and the building was owned
by Charles Wilson. Mr.. Davis was
successful in saving all but one of his
horses and much of his equipment
and supplies. Four horses belonging
to patrons were burned and included
In the number was a very valuable
heavy draft team belonging to Clar-
ence Jillson. The Davis loss will
amount to several hundred dollars
without insurance and the loss to Mr..
wilson will be about $1,000 which is
fully covered by insurance.
The w. A. Newman restaurant was
next swept by the fire and the loss
sustained by Mr. Newman viii be
about $1,000 with insurance to the
amount of $500. The ]. e. Preston
building, valued at about $4OO. with
no insurance, was next burned This
building was occupied by the White
bird Harness company but the greater
part OF the stock and equipment were
saved
A. o. Hess suffered the loss of
new wagon, contents and a set of
double harness and carried no insur-
ance
The burned district is located In
The south end of the town and but
for the absence of wind 1t is prob
able the entire business district would
have been wiped out. The fire was
really beyond control when discov-
cred but a number of people were
still up when the alarm was sounded
and large volunteer fire brigade was
quickly organized. These fire fight
ers rendered valuable service in saw
ing the contents of the Newman res
taurant building and the Preston
building and succeeded in getting
considerable of the stock and equip
ment from the livery stable.
The mystery surrounding the fire
was the subject of conversation today
and 1t seems no reasonable solution
has been offered.

FIVE HUNDRED SEE SHOOT.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ad Topperwein. of San
Antonio Texas, the Wonderful Top
perweins," representing the Winchester
Arms and Ammunition Co.. gave an
exhibition of fancy shooting at the
Grangeville Gun Club grounds on last
Friday afternoon before a mixed crowd
of 500 people. One noticeable fact was
that the majority of the crowd were
from the country, showing the interest
of the rural population in the shooting
game.
Mr.. Topperwein In his announcement
expressed his appreciation of the fine
attendance from so small town and
extended his thanks 10 Joe Wade and
other members of the local gun club
for the splendid reception which MS
wife and himself had received and
also Butch woodwork, the salesman
for this territory.
The exhibition given by the Topper
veins was with rifles. pistols ana
shotgun. Several members OF the
local gun club participated in a WHITE
FLYER shoot Mrs. Topperwein also TOOK
part and broke SO out of 100 and dust
ed one of the lost birds
The Grangeville Gun Club will hold
big shoot at a date to be announced
later. 1t will be a prize and merchan-
disc shoot and liberal prizes will be
given.
The Topperweins stated that the
members of the Grangeville Gun club
were the best amateur shots they had
ever met in the northwest, and that
the local club had a perfect skyline,
fine grounds and conditions should bring
a big membership and Grangeviile
should have the premium trapshots OF
the northwest.
