Dance Enjoyed by All

The Rebekah dance which was
given at the /. O. O. F. hall was
one of the most pleasant affairs
of the season and a good sized
crowd gathered, people having
come from Grangeville, Ferdi-
nand and Vollmer, and tripped
the fantastic toe to the strains of
music played by the lilo orchestra.
At midnight a delightful sup
per was served by the ladies in
the banquet room, after which
dancing followed and continued
until the wee hours Of the morn
ing.
A neat little sum of SAT. 80 was
cleared which will go toward the

That Cottonwood is to have a
base ball team this season is an
assured fact, enough subscription
having been taken up for that
purpose. 1t is the intention to
get together a strong and win
ming team, and those who can
play and want to try-out for a
position on the team would do
we'll to confer with Fred Lange.
There will be a game on the
local diamond Sunday between
Fem and Cottonwood teams, the
game to begin at 800 p. m. Let

Two Power Sites Inspected

Oroino, May z. Special to
the Tribune. IA party Of timber
men, among whom were ]. p.
Weyerhauser of Tacoma, Wash. !;
F. C. Denkman, of Rock Island,
ILL.,; G. A. Weyerhauser, of Little
Falls, Mimi, and Theodore Fohl,
local agent of the Clearwater
Timber company of this place,
have just returned from a trip Of
inspection of the power sites on
the North Fork of the Clearwater
river.
While no information of a
definite nature is being given out
at this time it seems probable
that a storage dam will be con-
structed at or near Big Island,
about twenty miles from Orofno,
and another at Bruce's Eddy,
three miles from Orofino. It is
persistently rumored that a COM
bination is probable between
the electric power interests and
the Weyerhauser interests to use
the Bruce's Eddy power site for
both log storage and power.
This would no doubt mean the
construction of a big milling
plant on the south side of the
main river on the mill site proper
ty of the Clearwater Timber
company. A developement Of
this magnitude will be a big step
in the opening of the Clearwater
country. The power which can
be supplied by this point will re-
move one of the principal OBJ
stacIes prevented to developing
the cement industry as we'll as
many others at Oroflno.

Money In Hogs

Juliaetta, May 7.-(Special to
the Tribune. II h a t there is
money-big money-to be made
at raising hogs in connection with
general farming is clearly proven
from the experience of William
Cox, of American ridge, two
miles north of Juliaetta, who,
since January l to April 26 of
this year, received for his hogs
alone Sc, ,061.78.
Mr.. Cox, in addition to being

Creamery Contract Closed.

T h e creamery con trac is
closed and the subscribers will
meet Saturday afternoon to select
a building committee.
Construction will begin at once
and the intention is to have the
plant ready for operation about
the 1st to 10th of July.
Before the plant is ready for
operation the organization of the
company will be perfected and a
committee appointed to have
cream rates established and all
details carried out for final incor-
poration.
Now that the creamery is cer-
tainty the entire community
should give it their hearty ap-
proval and support. It is en-
tirely an industry of community
interests and once in success
full operation will greatly benefit
every citizen regardless of his
business or occupation.
Even the = knocker should
throw his hammer away and join
in with his neighbors to boost q
home institution that will foster
and develop. The dairy industry
helps pay the grocery and store
bills and greatly assists in lifting
the mortgages and freeing the
home from debt.

Warning Against Alfalfa

The following clipping has been
sent US by a farmer:
If you don't want lots of troub-
lie, don't SOW alfalfa. Along the
middle of June, when the corn
needs cultivation the most, we
had to stop and cut the darned
alfalfa. 1t was in bloom, three
feet high. We had to haul in 20
loads of hay off of it.
In July the folks in town in
vited US to spend a week attend
ing the chautauqua. I suppose
they were glad when they got
my postcard announcing that we
could not come, because we had
to cut that bloomed alfalfa patch
again. Gee, but it was hot haul
ing in that hay!
Worse still, was fool enough
to go to work and SOW five more
bushels of alfalfa seed. The only
rest I'll get hereafter from haul
ing alfalfa will be on rainy days.
1t got to rain again in Septem-
ber, and about the first thing
knew that darned alfalfa was
three feet high and all in bloom;
it had to have another hair cut.
Then Barnum & Bailey's circus
came to town, and darned my
buttons if l didn't have to miss
that circus for the first time in
40 years. / got mad, and then
turned the pigs, cows and calves
into it; and still the blamed stuff
kept growing to beat the cars.
They could not keep it down
they got fat on it.
But still this alfalfa hay that
we sweat at cuttin' and stackin
makes mighty fine stuffin' fol
the cows these cold ground hog
days. Everything on the place
eats it except the hired girl, anC
she amt been here long. Lewis

Elect Petit and
McCregor; City
Iced s Efficiency
PETIT

Fully as important as
mans character and ability
to hold public office is his
viewpoint on public affairs.
which governs and directs
his actions.
Any person who has read the
answers of +. II. Petit to the va
rious questions of public interest
which The Times put TO the can
didates, has learned that Petit
has a viewpoint which is definite
and unwavering, drawn in lines
that are clear and sharp.
His record in business life and
as a public official of Tacoma has
shown that this outlook on af-
fairs has governed every detail in
his actions.
Not Clique Candidate.
1t is the viewpoint of the
masses of people, rather than
that of any clique, gang, sect
or party.
The peoples interest tops all
other considerations with him.
When his friends urged him to
run for the office of city COM
missioner, Petit told them that
if they should find a stronger and
more capable man with views
similar to his for the office, he
stood ready to withdraw at any
time.
His simple campaign promise
has been more consideration for
the people"
Not Hot Air, Either.
But being servant of the
people" does not mean simply
empty words and hot air with
him. 1t means definite, vital con-
structive effort on his part. It
means hard work and the exer-
else of the very best there is in
him.
The city has no record of the
money it is spending, he finds.
Therefore he goes out to give the
city the benefit of his long and
successful experience in the bust
ness world, systematising the
city's business just as he would
his own business.
Would Cut Waste.
The way to lower taxes is to
cut out waste, systematic and
reduce the cost of government,
he believes. To obtain greater
efficiency at less expense, he is
ready to give detailed, personal
supervision to his department.
On the question of franchises,
everybody knows that Petit
stands unalterably opposed to
voting away the rights of the
people. He is not the man to use
the peoples money to pay politi-
cal debts.

McGREGOR

Henry }. McGregOr stands
for a more progressive de-
VelOpment of. Tacoma.
And for "a practical econ-
Ony i'm the operation of mu-
nicipal government.
In life spent in large con-
tracing projects, he has continue
ally practiced economy from a
business standpoint - achieving
the greatest results at the least
possible eXpense--and he believes
that the same principle should be
followed in all city work.
Cost Increases 80 Pet.
McGregor declares that the city
of Tacoma has not been operated
on a business basis. During The
last six years, when business in
the Northwest has advanced at a
snail-like pace, and all business
establishments have cut expenses
to the bone, the cost of operating
Tacoma's municipal machinery
has increased practically so per
cent.
There has been no iustifica-
ton for this increase" says the
candidate. The city should have
practiced retrenchment.
IF a city is managed by COM
petent men, 1t can be conducted
with the same economy and bust
ness sense as private corpora
ton"
Where He'd Save.
In one department at the city
hall, McGregor declares that at
least $500 a month can be elm
mated in salaries of superintend-
ents, if the commissioner were
only a practical man.
Since ! have spent all my life
in the practical construction and
operation of public works utili-
ties, | can see where this expense
is wasteful. If | were elected, |
would do everything in my power
to cut out unnecessary cost in not
only my own, but all other de-
partments.
Would Pay Off Debt.
McGregor believes firmly in
municipal ownership of public
utilities, but his greatest desire is
TO see Tacoma's present municipal
projects placed on a sound bust
ness basis.
He would favor the setting
aside of as much money each year
as the city could possibly afford,
for the purpose of paying off
our immense municipal debt.
McGregor bases his appeal for
votes on the solid foundation of
practical experience, and his
former record as commissioner of
public works.
