CELEBRATIONS
WELL ATTENDED
NeighbOring Towns Drew Big
Crowds and Put Up Fine
Entertainment-BoyS Hurt
at Ferdinand.

The larger towns of this part
of Idaho took a back seat this
year and gave the small towns a
chance to show what they could
do in the line of providing real
celebrations and the way they
carried off the honors gave their
larger neighbors something to
seriously think over. Ferdinand
perhaps put up the banner cele-
bration of them all and fully a
a thousand people attended the
doings there during the two days.
The members of the band at that
place had the celebration in hand
and took care Of it in first class
manner. A big parade was pro-
vided for the opening day. with
music, orations and singing,
followed by a fast ball game in
the afternoon and sports of all
kinds. and dancing for everyone
who cared to disport themselves
in that manner. Only one slight
accident happened to mar the
day, this occurring when the two
little sons Of Mrs. DeForce, a
widow residing il the section be-
tween Tolo and Whitebird, picked
up a dynamite cap that had evil
IDENTIFY been dropped by the men
firing the salute at sunrise. The
older boy stuck a lighted punk
into the cap which exploded and
mangled the fingers of his hand,
the explosion also cutting the
smaller lads faee quite severely.
DR.. Shinnick was at hand and
dressed the injuries and no seri-
Gus results viii follow, although
both lads will be marked for life
as a result Of the accident. To
show the big heartedness of the
Ferdinand people the hat was
passed soon after the accident

and fully 500 collected for the
mother of the injured boys. and
that night the band boys also
gave the proceeds of their dance
to the mother, the total contribu-
tons amounting to between 5000
and $500.
Ferdinand defeated the Ito ball
team on the Fourth by a 4 to 5
score and administered a similar
defeat to the Vollmer team the
next day by score of 8 to 5.
At Kamiah a nice crowd assem-
bled to enjoy the day at that most
scenic spot in the Gem state and
the town was thrown wide open
to the visitors, the privilege being
freely granted to invade lawns
and partake of lunches in the
shade of fine shade and fruit
trees on the green carpets of
clover. The day was ideally
warm and the program rendered
was a nice one. In the after
noon the Kamiah ball team de-
feated the Vollmer team by a
score of IL to 4, after which
small sports of all kinds were
pulled off in the streets, followed
by the usual fireworks and big
dance at night. People from all
parts of the prairie country
motored and drove to Kamiah,
largely for trip the and for anoth-
er feast of the eyes on the great
panoramic picture of the Kamiah
valley from the head of the Nez-
perce-Kamiah grade. This is
undoubtedly one of the grandest
views in the state of Idaho, which
is filed with fine scenery, and is
well worth the time of anyone to
see.
At Winchester a fine time was
had in spite of the earlier an
nouncement that the celebration
would be postponed on account
Of bad weather. All kinds of
rough riding and roping contests
were pulled off and the small
crowd present was given a day
full of amusement where every
one could see all that was going
on and there was something
doing all thestime.

Unless he be recently dead, the richest dog in the world is said to be Billy" who belongs to an American mining magnate. Billy is a big dog, and on one occasion he was piloting his master and his mate to their cabin on the mountains, when the latter was so sure that a cer- tain turning was the right one that he left Billy and his master to go their own way, and he took his, giving the dog parting kick to show his con tempt for his intelligence
 But the dog was right, and presently conducted his master to the cabin, and then in spite of the kick. set out to find the other man. He found him utter ly lost and at his last gasp almost, and led him back. So grateful was he that he presented the dog, after he had struck it rich" with a gold-studded collar, and opened a banking account in his name. which will only be disturbed to give him a fitting funeral.
 By the will of a Russian princess who died last year, G4O00 was left to her toy terrier, Gipsy. Either from grief or the burden of wealth the dog died six months after his mistress, and as he could not contrive to live at the rate of GS000 per annum most of the money was intact, and the judges were occupied in finding the next of kin, which, to all apeparance. seemed to be certain prize puppy.

MAKE THREAD FROM
 STALKS 0F LEGUME
Germans Discover Substi- tute for COttOn-Urged
 to Plant Lupine

Berlin April 5.-(Correspondence Of the
 Associated Press) )-Thread and filament
 of a practical usable wind can be made
 Germany very plentiful, lupine, a legunle
 belonging to the alfalfa family. TWO men
 who have made the discovery after care
 ful investigations, and a captain who
 has perfected machine for the process
 have taken out patents. and the Prussian
 ministry of agriculture has issued an ap-
 peal to farmers to plant as much luplne
 as possible this coming spring.
 The discovery is especially welcome
 at this time, when thread is scarce. It is the more so since experiments have proven that the best thread from the lupine comes from the mature plant, which means that the lupine culture will not have to be checked, at the expense of the seed, in order to obtain thread. Nor does threshing injure the thread part of the stalk in the least.
 Captain Won Bluecher's machine. just invented, can be moved from farm to 1 farm. much as threashing machine is moved, so that the lupine grown on each estate can be handled there without any | transportation difficulties. Alter the I thread material has been extracted from | the stalk the remainder is available as straw for bedding, etc.
 l As a further advantage, the two kinds | of lupine prevailing in Germany will grow 1 in almost any kind of soil, but especially l in sandy, dry places such as abound in l the eastern part of Germany and which 1 can be used for hardly anything else. l Besides the thread material from the l stalk, the plants seeds yield oil, and its | roots nitrogen.

Where Innocence Is Bliss
From Judge.

T
 She was one of those dear, innocent little maidens, with the cherubic face framed in golden curls so oft immortal ized by poets and painters.
 Lovingly watched over by doting par ents, for nine short years she had flow cred in the seclusion of her home, spend ing the peaceful days in company with her equally sweet-faced governess, or quietly playing with her dolls and toys. No other children ever shared this little maiden's simple plea asures-mother and father thought it better so, in case their bady's opening mind should be rudely brought into contact with the wicked world outside. Just occasionally in the holidays Cousin Phil came to spend a week or two, that was all, and Mase was always glad at these times, for she loved Phil; they were tremendous pals.

 Another mistake in the regulations was the requirement that the dog be trained to return to his master in a straight line. The good searcher op- crates in a zig gag course, and it is natural for him to get back by the same route"
 The efficiency of the dog sentinel was illustrated by an incident at an important point on the front where one of these animals suddenly began trotting obliquely toward the right and making signs that there was present in that direction something that was foreign to the trench.

Mail by Aeroplane

From LeSlle 5.
 Should plans recently formulated by the postoffice department be carried out, the inha bitants of the interior Alaskan towns of Fairbanks, Tanana, Kaltag and Iditarod will receive their mail two or three times a week by aeroplane. The Postmaster General had advertised for bids for providing aerial mail service, and should the service prove efficient, the picturesque mail sleds with their yelping teams of ''husSies,' may become thing of the past. Bids for the service are to he opened May F and it is planned to begin the service on October l. Off, ficials of the postoffice department be- lieve that great saving in time will be effected, as teh hauling of heavy mail sleds by dog teams over hundreds of mixes of snow and under the most rigorous weather conditions is slow work and en- tails great harGships on the drivers. The action of the department is taken both to improve and to stimulate the de- velopmen of the science of aviation in the United States because of it's close re- lation to the general question of military preparedness. In view of philanthrOpic efforts already begun to finance under ta.ings which involve more general use of aeroplanes, such as that of maintain ing an aerial patrol of the Atlantic and i Pn cific costs as an adjunct of the coast | guard it is believed that the capital will | be raised to make the tests in the postal service.
