Chicago, Jtne 26.-By a vote of
32 to 6, with nine members declining
to vote. the National Committee of
the Progressive party today Endorsed
Charles f. Hughes for President and
the Bull Moose party practically
went out of existence as a national
POLITICAL organization.
The decision to indorse the Re
publican Presidential nominee came
at the end of a stormy session. The
fight in the committee for Hughes
Endorsement was led by George w.
Perkins, of New York; James r.
Garfield, of Ohio, AMI Chester H.
Rowell, of California.
The radical element in the COM
mittee. represented by Matthew Hale,
of Massachusetts,; cambridge Colby,
of New York; Henry F. Cochems, of
Wisconsin, and John NJ. Parker, of
Louisiana, vigorously protested
against the Endorsement of any candi-
date for President, and fought the
majority at every step of the proceed
ings. The minority's first move was
to insist on an open session of the
committee and 1t won in point after
a number of committeeman, led by
John NJ. Parker bolted the meeting.
r. II. Declines Nomination.
After Oscar King Davis, secretary
Of the committee, had read Col. Thee
dore Roosevelt's letter finally de-
clining the Progressive nomination
for President and urging that Mr..
Hughes be supported by members of
the Progressive party in order to de-
feat President Wilson, the committee
voted to accept Col. Roosevelt's de-
clination and took a recess for lun-
cheon.
At the beginning of the afternoon
session. Chairman Matthew Hale. of
Massachusetts, ruled the next order
OF business was TO ill the vacancy on
the ticket caused by the refusal of
Col Roosevelt to run.
cambridge Colby. of New York,
presented the name of Victor Muir
dock, of Kansas. chairman of the
National Committee, now on his way
to China. THIS led to a clash be-
tween Raymond Robins, of Illinois,
and Mr.. Colby. in which the lie was
passed. Mr.. Robbins said Mr.. MUIR
dock had told him he would not
accept the, presidential nomination
The proposition to run third party
ticket then was defeated after a
spirited debate by vote of 81 to 10.

Vance Rookie I'm
dergoes Operation

Vance Rookie, youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Rookie, was
taken seriously i'll at his home
over on Snake river last week
and on Friday was taken to Lew
iston on the boat by his mother.
On reaching the hospital his con-
dition was pronounced serious
and demanding an immediate
operation. A telephone message
was sent to his father, who rode
out from across the river Satur-
day and left for Lewiston on Sun
day mornings train. The patient
recovered nicely from the opera
ton and word received here Mon
day was to the effect that he
stood a good chance of recovery.
Vance had been operating q

weeks packing feed down from

sheep on Snake river and haC
evidently over worked, bringing
on a serious attack of appendi.

will be glad to know he is doing

Big Increase in
Creamery Products

The creamery has begun to feel
the effects Of the coming spring
and the increase of the output of
butter has been noticeable during
the month of February. Mr.. Glib
bons, the local butter expert, in
forms US that the amount Of but
ter turned out by the local cream
cry for the past week exceeds
that of the previous weeks during
the winter by about fifty pounds,
which makes the average about
seven hundred pounds each week.
He predicts that, with the coming
of warm weather this spring and
the resultant green feed for the
dairy herds, the output of the
plant will average twelve hundred
pounds each week. The period
during which the production OF
milk is greatest is between the
months of April and October,
two months being deducted from
this period for the expected dry
weather.
In his estimation, the greatest
drawback in the way of dairy
progress in this section is the lack
of silos which are very necessary
to the proper operation of a mod
ern dairy in a country adapted
to the raising of wheat. Ever
with the decreased production
during the cold winter months
the Kendrick creamery has paiC
money on the investment; and
with the enlarged herds which
are being planned, it will be one
of the best little industries in thi
vicinity. .-Kendrick Gazette.
If creamery will pay in th'
Kendrick country we cannot Sc,
why one would not pay here ant
believe this matter should receiv,
closer attention than has beeI
given it in the past.

Another Fine Pioneer Gone

]. ]. Schlee, a pioneer farmer
of the Uniontown section and
we'll known to many residents of
this part of Idaho, died at his
home in Charleston at noon last
Thursday from injuries received
when he fell from the hay loft of
his barn to the concrete floor be-
low two hours before. After the
fall he walked to the house but
became unconscious and soon died
from a fractured skull. The de-
ceased was almost 66 years of
age and came to Uniontown in
1876. He resided there until a
few years ago, when he moved
to Charleston, and was quite
wealthy, owning over 1900 acres
of choice Palouse soil besides
large land holdings at Charleston.
He was a fine type of farmer and
citizen and numbered his friends
by thousands. The funeral was
held Saturday morning from the
residence, interment being made
in the Lewiston cemetery. The
deceased was a relative by mar
riage of George Killmar, of Wi
mona.

Buys Horses For
Montana Farmers

Henry Katterhagen, the Union
town stock buyer who has been
here for the past week buying up
horses for the Montana trade,
shipped out seventeen nice ami
mails to Spokane Wednesday
morning, the rest of the car being
made up with another bunch Sc
cured in the lilo country. Mr..
Katterhagen bought the horses
for a Spokane dealer and the lat
ter will dispose of them to farm
ers in the homestead sections of
Montana where good light farm
horses, and especially good brood
mares, are in demand. While
the price paid was not large,
averaging $122 per head, the ami.
mails secured were a fine bunch
and will undoubtedly be followed
by further shipments from this
section.
Mr.. Katterhagen states tha
the horse market is fairly quiet
and there is no demand whatever
for heavy stuff. Light horses fol
| the Montana farmer trade are il
fair demand but as soon as thiI
demand is supplied the marke
will be dull again. France is tn,
only warning nation in the mark
ct for horses and is not paying
over $135 for the best animals
consequently the farmers canno
, look for fancy prices unless some
thing unforeseen occurs to Great
, a big demand.
Mr.. Katterhagen secured horse

Bought Some Fine Shorthorns

Henry Munstermann, a pros
porous farmer of the Clifford
country, purchased four fine
grade Shorthorn cows with young
calves from Riley Rice at this
place late last week and shipped
the animals to Reubens Tuesday,
from where they were driven to
his farm. Mr.. Munstermann paid
$110 each for the cows ana will
use them in his dairy herd. Mr..
Rice has some of the finest Short
horn stock in this part of Idaho,
having bred these animals from
registered sires for years, and
has no trouble in disposing OF
animals from his herd at frequent
occasions.

Bought New Home in Montana

Anton Nuxoll and Steve Traut-
man returned Sunday evening
from their trip to Montana and
while there the former purchased
200 acres of fine farm land with
in two miles of the town of St.
Ignatius, near the Flathead In
dian reservation, and a nice resi-
dence property in that little city.
Mr.. Nuxoll paid $47.50 an acre
for his farm land and feels well
pleased with his buy. He says
that the soil looks fine and the
climate seems to be all one could
desire, while pasture and wood
are easily secured from the for
est reserve near by, and hunting
and fishing are within easy reach.
Mr.. Nuxoll says quite a bit OF
his property was overlooked iT
making up the list for his big
sale on March 18th but that ev.
erything he has in the livestock
and machinery line, as well al
most of their household effects
will be sold and they will leavi
for their new home within a few
days after the sale.

100000 Loss Sustained
in GrangeUiHe Fire

The fire which destroyed the
-four mill and E. s. Sweet barn
at Grangeville on Thursday
night of last week proved more
serious than at first reported, as
is shown by the following dis
patch:
Grangeville, March 8. (Spe-
cial to the Tribune. The burn
ing of the prize livestock at the
E. S. Sweet stables this morning
when the building was fired by
brands from the burning flour
mill, presented one of the most
pitiable spectacles possible to de-
scribe. A total Of II horses and
"a cattle, many registered prize
winners at the big stock shows
last winter, were destroyed in
the flames.
The stables were located fully
a quarter of a mile from the burn
ing mill and Immediately after
the fire brands ignited the barns
the work of removing the animals
was attempted. All were cut
loose by Floyd Trueblood but they
rushed back into the burning
building after having been driven
to a place of safety. Some of the
cattle and a few of the horses
were so terrified that any efforts
to drive them from their stalls
were fruitless and with the wine
blowing a 50-mile gale the rescu.
ers were soon driven from tht
building.
1t developed today that Mr.
Sweet carried no insurance anC
his loss from the early morning
confagration will amount to ap
proximately $40, 900. 1t is esti
mated the cattle burned wer'
