The School Election

The School Election
E. H. Ratliff and N. L. Agrel
were elected members of the board
of trustees of the Nezperce public
schools Tuesday afternoon over c.
w. Booth and P. w. Mitchell, the lat
ter two having served two terms on
the board. The vote stood : Ratliff
155 {; .Agrell, 154. Booth, 81. Mitch
ell, 81.
There had been little discussion of
the event prior to election day, but
Nezperce has acquired some notori-
ETY. for injecting considerable enthu-
siasm into its school elections, and it
was generally anticipated that this
one would not prove exceptional
and it didn't. Scarcely had the
polls opened, when the workers
principally the fairer sex-appeared
on the scene and began passing out
ballots as rapidly as voters could be
found. Many automobiles were
pressed into service, and most of the
voters had at least ride for their
vote, though quite number exercis-
ed their franchise even though they
had to walk to the polls.
The newly elected members will
be clothed with the power of their
office at the next regular meeting of
the board.
Oscar V. Bellomy, who has been
employed as fireman with Fred
Brash's threshing crew, was arrested
at the Brash ranch yesterday by
Sheriff Paige and brought be-
fore Probate Judge R oberts and
fined SIS and costs-$22 Dc in all
for assault and battery on Jas. Han
cock of this city, who was also
m ember of the same threshing outfit,
and with whom Bellomy had been in
dispute over some personal affair.
Bellomy paid his fine and was re-
leased.
The J. E. Heston & Co. threshing
crew will finish a very successful
seasons run of % days at the Pres
ton & Felt ranch southwest of town
today, and Messrs. P. and F. are
showing their appreciation of the
services rendered them by the
threshers by providing the boss and
crew with big chicken dinner,
which is also duly appreciated by
Mr.. Heston and his men, you bet.
The musical program given by the

given by the Christian Endeavors
was held at the Christian Church
annex Tuesday evening, Sept. 7.
About thirty guests were present and
the several committees exerted them
selves to make the occasion sue

music and guessing games, except
the last and most amusing feature
which was an original story written

NO PLACE TO SEND MAN
so HE'S CLAPPED INTO
JAIL FOR FORTNIGHT

John Pahalama was sent to jail for
two weeks today because there did
not appear to be anything else to do
with him, but when sentencing him
Judge Monsarrat stated that he did
not see any ultimate good the SEN
tence would do. Pahalama is one of
the human problems of his kind that
drift into the police court more in
need of help than punishment
Pahalama has been badly buffeted
by fate. His mind is weak but he is
not far enough gone in insanity to go
to an asylum. He is not bright
enough to follow any line of work but
manual labor, and is not strong
enough to do that For three years
after he was brought here from Kauai
he was held in detention at the Ka-
lihi receiving station on suspicion of
being leper, and year ago when it
was found he did not have the disease
he was allowed to leave
During the past year Pahalama has
been leading a vagrant existence, and
has several times been arrested. This
time he was found sleeping in a lum-

CAUSES.
SLOW MOVEMENT

Minnesotan win Take Several

disc to Fin Cargo Space

Wind and rain, coupled with verit-
able foods on some OF the plantations,
have delayed in measure the start
ing of the harvesting of the 1916 sug.
ar crop OF Hawaii. and one result has
been some close figuring to get
enough sugar to fill the American.

sails from Hilo January 6.

a full cargo of sugar as would have
been the case but for the storm.
Despite the heavy winds and rains
no damage to crops has been report.
ed from any of the plantations, and
the additional moisture is regarded
as a boon by most of the sugar men.
AS usual opinion differs as to the
effect the bumper Cuban crop will
have on sugar prices. Estimates
range as high as 3.1SS.00 tons, and
though in some quarters there is a
disposition to expect that this big
crop will affect prices adversely, in
other quarters confidence Is expressed
that the great yield will be easily abb
sorbed by European orders.
It is also pointed out that before the
war, with Europe's beet industry at
its height, a variation of several hun
dred thousand tons In the European
yield was not other than a sentiment.
