small or medium veins. What is needed
is intelligence and connecting them.
Large capital can hardly be attracted
as the majority of propositions are un-
developed and small. Given few sue
cesses to point to and you couldn It keep
the small man out. 1t IS work you want,
not capital.
1t is mighty hard to convince the
practical man that an ore that will
yield 5000 to $4,000 concentrate on the
ground, cannot be handled. 1t certainly
can, and with this wealth in circulation
joined to that of agriculture, Idaho
county should be the richest in the
state.

ACTORS CHOSEN SPECIALLY AS
ADAPTED TO PARTS ASSIGNED
SPLENDID CLEAN COMEDY
WITH PLENTY OF THE
SERIOUS.

With due credit to those who have
taken part in local talent plays in
Grangeville in the past it can be safely
said that never has more rapid and
gratifying progress been made in the
preparation of play than that which
is recorded nightly by the members of
The Friars club who will present "The
Purchase Price, at the opera house in
the near future. The members of the
cast have been working diligently on
their respective roles for weeks and
the show, with few more polishing
touches, is right now practically ready
for production.
1t is a well known fact that Grange
Vile patrons of legitimate shows and
the movies as well, have great fond
ness for comedy and it was this know
ledge in mind that "The Purchase
Price, was chosen for the offering of
The Friars club at this time. The
piece is rich in comedy and throughout
the play the laugh making lines and
situations are skillfully handled and in
terspersed with the more serious parts
of the piece in just the proper proper
ton to make the show the great sue
cess it is. "The Purchase Price" is a
new bill to Grangeville. 1t is built
around piece that created fGrore in
Chicago and New York two years ago
and both the story of the play and the
manner in which it is told are new and
novel. 1t teaches splendid lesson
and handles an interesting subject of
every day life delicately and logically.
Those who have read it pronounce it
the best play the Friars have ever pro-
duced. The comedy of the play is in
the capable hands of DR.. Frank Wood
as Tommy Tipton," chap with high
horse power ideas and who has his own
copyrighted opinion OF just how the
government ought to be run; and Mrs.
Harold Harris as "Annie Upton, /"
wife of Tommy who is also brimful of
ideas, though mostly in conflict with
Tommy's. Glib Eimers will don the
burnt cork and appear as George
Albertus Jones,' valet whose com
ments bubble with originality and
humor.
The part OIL hoger X. Blaine,' New
York railroad magnate will be taken
by Harold Harris and the role of
Marjorie Taylor one of import in
the story, has been assigned to Mrs.
Leo Brust. Miss Virginia Branscombe
also has a part which will require con-
siderable talent to be portrayed cor.
rectly. The Friars have decided to
present full program of specialties be.
tween acts, two of the number now in
preparation being a comedy song by Dr.
Wood and "war song' by Harold Har.
ris. Other speciality numbers are being
arranged for. A part of the proceeds
of the show will be given to the
Grangeville Civics Club

DEATH OF OLD PIONEER.

j. P. Fitzgerald, an old Idaho county
pioneer, passed away at Roseburg,
Oregon, March 13 at the age of sixty
five. Deceased, who was civil war
veteran, was born in the state of
Illinois and came in an early day to the
west. In association with j. M.
Auchinole, he at one time conducted the
famous old Jersey house in this city
and later went to the Florence district
where he engaged in placer mining for
time and in after years was engaged
in the mercantile business at Tekoa,
Washington.
Failure of his health resulted in his
seeking a milder climate and as a re.
suit he located in Roseburg, Oregon.
He is survived by a wife and son of
this city and a number of other rela
tives in the East.

NELSON-ALEXANDER.

A quiet but pretty home wedding
was that which united in marriage Miss
Marietta d. Alexander, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. A. E. Alexander, with Victor
L. Nelson of Grangeville, at the home
of the brides parents, Monday morn
ing, March 20. The ceremony was per
formed by Reverend w. Callison, pastor
of the Christian church, the ring cere-
mony being used.
Only the immediate relatives were
present at the wedding. Both bride
and groom are highly respected in the
community, the bride having made
Grangeville her home since her girl
hood, and her parents being respected
residents of Grangeville having resided
here for many years. The groom came
to Grangeville little over year ago
to accept position in the First Nation
al Bank and is. prominent in social and
religious circles. The wedding was
solemnized at 6 a. m. Monday and the
couple left Immediately on wedding
trip to the east where they will visit
friends and relatives, Mr.. Nelson s
parents residing in Selden, Kansas. The

ton to the young people.

SEVERAL KINDS OF WEATHER.

The last few days have presented a
spectacle of a contest between coming
spring and departing winter, with both
rain and snow, and clouds and sun
shine. Sunday was fair and very
springlike and late in the day some
rain fell. Monday was an ideal spring
day. Tuesday was rainy and some snow
fell Tuesday evening and Wednesday
and there are several inches of snow on
the ground today. The sun has appear
ed at spells and will soon Danish evil
dences of winter. Grain fields of fall
sown grain are taking on an emerald
appearance and pastures are starting
nicely. Farmers are commencing work
and everyone will be busy in a few
days. Those who have bees note that
they are bringing in several kinds of
pollen, which incidates that there are
several varieties of flowers that are
blooming now. Spring surely is near,
if not here.

BACK FOR COMMITTEE MEETING.

Chairman Evan Evans of the repup-
lican central committee, returned from
Boise last week where he has been at
tending a meeting of the state com
mitteemen. 1t was decided by the re-
publicans to leave the method of select
ing of delegates to the state conven-
tion entirely up the the county com
mittees, as the democratic organization
did. Regarding the report published
over the state in general to the effect
that the committee had asked for the
resignation of certain state official
of that party, Mr.. Evans stated there
was no foundation for the same and
absolutely nothing to it.

FINCH SELLS PROPERTY.

opposite Main street, was purchased
this week by DR.. Ward VanWert, who
will remodel the barn into first class
veterinary hospital and use the house,
which is located on the same lot, as
his ofrice and residence, thus being
located so as to answer any and all
calls. The property is well located for
the purpose for which DIR. VanWert
purchased it for and will make an ideal
hospital. Mr.. and Mrs. Finch will leave
shortly for Portland.

Plant 100000 Trout.
He said the four state hatcheries
would be operated this season to their
capacity and it is expected about nine
million young trout will be turned out
for distribution in the Idaho streams.
The trout will be held at the hatch
cries until of sufficient size to take
care Oh themselves in the streams and
it is not expected the first planting
will be made before July. Other
paintings will be made in August and
September. me maximum paintings
of the department for any year in the
past has been about five million.
The state operates four hatcheries,
two in the north and two in the south
ern part of the state. The hatchery at
Standpoint has a capacity of about
100000 while the Occur d'Alene
hatchery has a capacity of about
100000. The south Idaho hatcheries
are located at Hay Spur and Warm
hiver and have capacity of 100000
and 100000 respectively. Prepara-
tions are being made at all of the
hatcheries to take the spawn as early
as possible and facilities will be pro-
vided for keeping the fish until they
have attained a size and strength that
will allow them to take care of them
selves when released. The view has
been generally held by sportsmen for
the past several years that the fish have
been SO small and weak when planted,
that only a very small per cent have
survived. Tribune.

Ford Mr.. MacBoyle has owned which
demonstrates again the real value of
the Ford and the alacrity with which
the public appreciates this fact. Mac
Boyle drove Ford from Grangeville
to Southern California, altogether some
thing like six thousand miles, last fall
and sold the same before his return for
close TO three-fourths of it's original
cost 80 naturally this clinched the Ford
argument with him.

HOG PRICES ARE
BOOMING At
PRESENT
INDICATION THAT $500 PRICE
WILL BE REACHED ON LOCAL
MARKETS SOON.
PACKERS FEAR SHORTAGE
Assure Hog Raiser That Market Price
viii be High With no Recurrence
of Past Low Prices.

Hog prices are booming and it is pre-
dieted that in the near future the local
market will reach the 5000 mark, the
top so far having been 1925. The
Portland Livestock Reporter states that
the demand has been keen, both by
shippers and packers, shippers for the
most part taking up the lighter, un-
finished classes.
At present there seems to be some
concern on the part of the packing con-
Germs of the coast in the diminishing
supply of available hogs and an actual
shortage seems to be faced. The fear
is expressed that hog raisers have cut
down on production and have tempor-
arily gone out of business in some in
stances. And this is true, for the treat
ment of hog raisers last fall and win
ter, and the prevailing low prices on
the coast discouraged many big produc-
ers of pork who lost money under the
market conditions that prevailed.
The shippers are using as a defense
that they instructed and informed the
farmers and stockraisers to hold their
hogs for the spring markets; that there
would be a big raise in price. Those
who could afford to do so and had the
means did this and reaped the advan-
tage of the higher prices being enjoyed
at present, and at that only reduced
their loss and did not reap great pro-
fit. The greater majority sold, for
they either felt that they could not af-
ford to hold on bare prediction, al
ready having faced a discouraging
game, and tho balance that would have
held did not have the further ability
and means to do so.
Packers Defenses.
The buyers and shippers should not
be blamed and had nothing whatever
to do with the market conditions. The
packers on the coast have been blamed
however and the very fact that they
are now sending out publicity items
setting up late defense indicates that
they feel the criticism directed towards

First Degree For Kotur
80 confident are we of Kotur's in
nocence," said the former recorder
to-day, that we intend to carry the
appeal to the Supreme court if neces-
sary."
Kotur was convicted of murder in
the first degree after an hours delib-
Grafton by the jury last evening.
Should Kotur's efforts to obtain an
other trial prove fruitless he will be
the first murderer from Dauphin
county to be executed in the cleo
JrIc chair.
Kotur who up until the rendering
of the jury's verdict had retained a
stolid Indifferent attitude, flushed an
grily at the jury's announcement. To
the establishment of the courtroom
which had been under the impression
that he could neither talk nor under
stand English, the Bosnian sneered at
the jurors:
The Jurors Thanks
"T'ank, you-t ank-a-you, so
mooch!" he cried as he was led from
the courtroom.
Novokovic's testimony, which will
be attacked by the defense in its ap-
peal for a new trial, was to the effect
that he had seen Kotur strike Backic
to the floor of 725 South Third street
and then grind his heel upon Backic's
upturned, helpless face.
The last thing he saw, as he climbed
to bed that night Novokovic declared,
was the prone Backic with the fur
ious Kotur standing over him with a
knife,
