GIRL AVIATOR FLIES
 DISTANCE OF 832 MI.
Ruth Law breezed from Chi
 cago to New York in 9 Hrs. and one minute

Ruth Law recently complet- ed an air trip which began in Chicago and ended in New York with stops at Cornell and Birmingham. The distance from Birmingham was covered in 2 hours and 20 minutes and the entire journey 832 miles in an air line was made in 9 hours and one minute.
 Chilled at Trips End
 Miss Law was met at the ter imitation of her flight by Ma jor General and Mrs. Wood who congratulated her on her achievement. She was consid- erably chilled and was taken to thehouse of one of the off, cers at the post to recuperate. She had but little to say about her flight. She could scarcely see on account of the haze. It was said that the structure of the craft was such as to expose her to the air more than in most flights. The pilots seat is placed on a projection of the machine so that the aviator is not shielded from the wind. A recount in eastern states is likely to give the democrats control of the House. It might give Arizona democrats the governorship.

REIMBURSEMENT OF
 POSTAL RATES

A movement for readjust- ment of postal rates will be launched in the next session of Congress It is announced that the purpose of the read justment will be to place the various postal rates on more equitable basis.
 A zone system of rates for second class matter is being ur- ged to take the place of the prdesent flat rate. The pres present flat rate. This rate has been regarded as a dis papers in favor of the great national magazines. Like the parcels post the proposed rates would be based on the length of the haul.
 There is a strong demand for one cent postage and it is believed that a readjustment may be made which will per init the granting of a one cent rate on local delivery letters.
 It has been estimated that while there might be a slight falling off of postal revenues for time, at the end of a year they would be larger than ev- CT. The financial gain or loss is not to be thot of as the only consideration. The benefits to every patron of the postal ser vice must also be considered.

YOUR OWN JUDGMENT

Nine times out of ten it pays to back your own judgment, espicially in financial affairs. It's your money you spend and if you fail, you will have learned lesson, and will profit by the experience
 When you permit other people to invest your money for you, you usually pay dearly for their services Our bank does not invest your funds for you. We merely safeguard your money until you are ready to invest it yourself. Then if you want our advice, will give it cheerfully and to the best of our ability but our first care is to safeguard our depositors funds and to offer all other accommodations of modern banking. Can we be of any service to you?

 OF STATE ORGANIZE

Aaizona have organized an
 The wholesale grocers of association for the purpose of establishing harmonious rela- tions among manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers in or der that there may be as little lost motion as possible and that the consumer may get his goods at the lowest possible prices.
 Another object of the asso- citation is the dissemination of useful information among it's members.
 One good effect of the or ganization has already been felt. It was brot out that altho all the members had heard of one another, some of them had never met one another so that new personal friendships have resulted.
 The officers of the organiza- tion are: President, s. H. Hof- meister; vice president, E. c. Campbell; secretary treas, Melczer.

HOME AND CONTENTS DESTROYED
Heavy Loss to Mr. Bertch and Doctor
Moore Last Night.

Between ten thirty and eleven last
night the Rertch home in the south end
OF the city, was completely destroyed as
well as the contents. The fire was dis
covered near the hour of ten and it is
presumed was caused by defective air
register in one of the bedrooms. Dr.
Moore, who occupies the house, had
gone home earlier in the evening and
built small fire in the furnace leav-
ing later for down town where he was
on business at the time the alarm was
turned in. The air register in the west
bedroom has been causing trouble and
earlier in the week a small fire was
caused by the same. By the time the
fire company arrived the building was
mass of flames but considerable of
the contents had been saved by neigh.
bors. The home is the finest in the city
and cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
with insurance of $4,000. DR.. Moore
who owned most of the furnishings OF
the home as well as library valued al
$4,000, places his loss at $4,000 will
$1,000 insurance. Mr.. Bertch alsC
carried insurance on the furniture be
longing to him.

4" am highly pleased with the result
of my visit so far. The stockmen have
responded in the most liberal manner
possible to our appeals for assistance,
over one hundred of them taking out
memberships during the day of the
Sweet sale which is record for any
one locality in the history of the asso-
clatlon. Many of these memberships
were for lfe. We had an enjoyable ban
quet at the Imperial Hotel that evening
at which liberal donations were made
by stock raisers and business men, Mr..
Frank McGrane heading the list with
500 for the Alexander Freidenrich Co
Assurances were given us that if we
stayed over in Grangevile the various
banks and business houses would con.
tribute their share towards making the
coming show bigger and better than
ever before. We have arranged to dc
so and are meeting with ready response
now plan on staying over until after
the Farmers Union Picnic on Saturday
and expect to leave for Lewiston
Sunday morning. | am immensely en-
couraged by the results of this trip com
ing after almost equally loyal assistance
from NeZperce, Genesee and other sec
tions, and feel that our association
will this year have behind it more en-
thusiasm and larger membership thai
ever before and with this spirit we ar
bound to go on and grow"

CONV|CTS, SMEAD AND DAVIS
HAVE NOT YET Been LOCATED

dali boys and third by the name of
Haight appeared and young Harris was
made to believe that the two boys were
the convicts. He was warned away and
being deceived reported the matter in
good faith and an alarm was sent to the
officers.
The foolishness of such pranks is ap-
parent and it is intimated that the boys
responsible will later be called to an
accounting. This is the second false
alarm sent forth and has made the work
of the officers more difficult. No trace
of the convicts has been discovered
since their alleged burglary of
Stevens Mercantile store at Winchester
last Tuesday night, and preceding Sun
day night. There is no confirmation as
yet that the convicts perpetrated these
acts. 1t is believed that the escapes
have succeeded in making their way out
of the country or are lying low until
the matter dies down and then will
escape when less diligent watch is be-
ing made.

MARION LEE SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY
IN COLLISION With AUTOMOBILE

seem able to explain how it happened
or how the young boy came to dash so
suddenly in front of the car. 1t he had
run ahead of the car it could have been
stopped in time to have prevented in
jury but he really run into the big
Mitchell, and the resulting injury was
unavoidable.
The injury was quite serious a cash
being cut in the right leg below the
knee and the fractured bone protruded
through the flesh. The boy was imme-
diately taken into J. J. Lamm s drug
store where his injuries were given i'm.
mediate attention. An anaesthetic was
administered and Doctor Slusser, assist
ed by Doctor Stockton, reduced the
fracture and attended to the injury. w
n. Scales went out for Mrs. Stanton whc
arrived just after the operation had
been performed and about l O'Clock
the injured lad was removed to the
home of Mrs. cyrus Overman where he
is being cared for. While the accident
is serious, the age of the boy is in favor
of his rapid recovery. At the present
writing he is resting nicely and it is tt
be hoped that his recovery will b,
rapid.

BOY RAN IN FRONT OF DIR. SLUS-
SER'S CAR WHICH RAN OVER
HIS LEG BEFORE 1T COULD
BE STOPPED.

Sunday evening about 10 O'Clock,
Marion Lee, son of Mrs. j. r. Stanton,
who resides west of Grangeville, was
struck by an automobile, the front
wheel passing over the right leg just
below the knee, causing compound
fracture of the bones below the knee.
The boy who is about II years old had
just come out of the Lyric theatre and
was confused and blinded by the bright
lights on the outside. He evidently
started to cross the street and DR.. Slus-
ser IS car was just passing as the boy
suddenly ran out into the street. The
doctor was driving very slowly, not
more than five miles an hour and the
car must have been about even with
the place where the lad started, when
he suddenly darted Immediately in front
of the car, and then seeming to realize
his mistake tried to get out of the way
but before the car could be stopped the
front wheel passed over the right leg
Several witnessed the accident and none
