president Wilson's faith In demo-

In his Mexican policy.
"The prssident's demand for Mexico

The larger phases Of the relations
Of the United States with Mexico
during President Wilson's Admins

complete narrative Of events are pre-

chapter OF the Democratic National
Text Book. from which these quota
tions are made:
Two considerations have animated
the President In the formulation Of
his Mexican policy and have compelled
his adherence to II throughout his Ad-
ministration. namely:
1.-THE firm conviction that all na-
lions, both the weak and the power
fuI, have the inviolabIe right to control
their internal affairs.

history Of the world, that Mexico will

land. Thus II was that the history
Of Mexico. like the history Of every

The Kamiah Indian Band.

The Kamiah Indian band,
which has been furnishing sweet
est music for our fair and stock
show for the past three days, in
vaded the Chronicle affice yester-
day morning and took the place
by storm. They trod on the tail
of the office cat, mixed up a "pi"
in the hell box," knocked down
the Office towel and shattered it
into million pieces, and almost
laid affectionate hands on t h e
shoulder of the Office devil. To
top out things, the savage with
the big bass horn tried his best
to blow a hole through the
office roof, but fortunately failed
in his effort.
All jokes aside, however, the
band is dandy organization and
one OF which our neighboring
city on the river can we'll feel
proud. The boys put up as fine
a band of music as one could
wish and are willing to play
as frequently as required. The
members are all real gentlemen
and will be welcomed in Cotton
wood at any time, whether in
uniform or as private citizens.
They were we'll worth the price
paid for their services. Come
again, boys.

Mexican Shot Idaho Captain

Boise, Idaho, Oct. IA special
dispatch to the Idaho Statesman
from Nogales, Ariz., says that
Captain H. W. Wilson, second
Idaho medical corps, was dan
gerously shot in the left thigh
Sunday afternoon in the railroad
station at Nogales, Ariz by a
Mexican soldier who fired from a
position in front of the Bank of
Sonora, on the Mexican side of
the Mexican side of the interna-
tional boundary.
Captain Wilson had Just
checked his trunk for Twin Falls,
Idaho, his home, where he was
going on a SO-day furlough, the
dispatch added, --
The guard on the border was
Immediately increased, sentries
Delng stationed 5O feet apart.
Army officers said it is the first
case during the present border
trouble of an American officer
being shot on American soil by
an assailant from the Mexican
side.
Captain Wilson's wound is not
serious.
The Mexican version of the
affair is that a soldier shot at an
escaping prisoner and the bullet
struck Wilson. The prisoner
was later recaptured and
executed.

Would Improve the

In response to proposition on
the part of the state highway
commission to furnish the re-
quired number of convicts to i'm
prove the old state road up the
Salmon river from Whitebird to
the county line beyond Pollock
this fall, provided Idaho county
will supply $3.50 to buy the neces-
sary grub for the men, the Com
mercial club Wednesday passed
resolutions recommending that the
cooperative steps be taken. The
communication states that Re-
publican State Chairman Evan
Evans, who recently made the
trip over the state road in an
auto, appeared before the COM
mission and presented to them
the urgent need of such improve
ment, stating that in his judg-
ment the cost of putting this i'm
portant highway in reasonably
fair condition for auto travel
would be of small moment COM
pared with the benefits to be
gained thereby. Boulders will
have to be blown out at a number
of places, rocks remov
at other points, high centers ia
ken out and sharp angles on GER
tainly meet with the approval of
the Salmon river citizens and
would materially assist in the
construction work on the perma-

COTTONWOOD'S FIRST FAIR
PROVES A BIG SUCCESS
Late Season and Adverse Weather Fail to Darken Fair Days
and Exhibits Create Much Favorable Comment Next
Years Fair be Far Superior.

Schroeder Herefords were the
center of attraction. The dairy
division was particularly short of
animals but this can be greatly
improved in another year.
The hog department. was also
short on exhibits but the Poland
China herds of Howard McKin-
ley and John Funke showed some
classy stuff and the judge was
sorely puzzled in awarding
prizes between these herds.
Most of the awards in the
sheep division went to w. H.
Zumwalt, of Grangeville, who
had several fine animals on ex-
hibition.
In the agricultural and horti-
cultural department the exhibits
were not numerous but showed
up very nicely for an off year,
the Salmon river section partic-
ularly producing some attractive
collections.
1t lay with the ladies exhibit
ton of fancy work, however, to
eclipse all departments in both
the number of exhibits and the
quality of articles shown. In
fact, the large building was filled
to overfowing with fine art ex-
hibits and many stated that even
the Lewiston-Clarkston fair did
not put up finer exhibition of
this class than was shown here.
While the fair crowd probably
did not exceed 1900 to 1000
people any day, all seemed pleas
ed with the entertainment pro-
vided and the business men gen.
orally are pleased with the re-
suits of their first attempt and
will undoubtedly make the fair
an annual event.
Below we give as many of the
premium winners as we have
been able to secure:
Beef Cattle
In the Hereford class August
Schroeder, of Cottonwood, took
all awards except second prize
on yearling bull, which went to
M. L. Hastings of Kamiah.
In the Shorthorn class Riley
Rice won all prizes except on
best dual purpose COW, which
award was secured by A.. o.
Martin.
In the dairy department John
Meyer won first on best grade
Holstein heifer. Roy Huff first on
yearling bull, and Fred and Cecil
Winner first on best grade calf.
John Funke won first prize on
best Jersey grade COW over three
years of age, second prize going
to B. L. Hussman. On Jerseys
under two years of age, both
awards went to cattle exhibited
by st. Gertrude's convent.
Draft Horses
In the draft horse department
the grand championship was won
by the Clydesdale stallion owned
by Mat Peterson, of Keuterville.
Second prize went to Barney
Luchtefeld's black, and third to
the gray horse of the Cottonwood
Horse Co., both of the latter
animals being of the Percheron
breed. The prize for the best
mare of all breeds went to Wren
& Greenough of Denver, second
and third awards going to B.
Lutchefeld, of Keuterville. The
former won on the best two year
old, with Luchtefeld second.
Wren & Greenough won on best
sucking colt. Luchtefeld won
first on best grade mare and best
grade mare and colt, with st.
Gertrude's convent second on the
last entry. Chas. Olson won
first on draft team, with o. D.
Hamlin second. Riley Rice won
first on best grade two year old.
There were 35 horses on ex-
hibition in the horse department

CottOnWood'S first annual fair
and stock show will draw to a
close this evening and in spite of
the backward harvest season and
adverse weather conditions for
several days prior to the opening
of the fair the concensus of
opinion is that the fair has been
a real success in every way and
that our town has full reason to
feel proud of what it has accom-
plished in this, its first effort.
The fair opened Wednesday
morning with cold, cloudy
weather and indications of rain
but this did not dampen the en-
thusiasm of the citizens and
fair visitors and by the time the
big parade was ready at IL
O'Clock the town was nicely
filled with sightseers from the
the surrounding country and
neighboring towns. Promptly at
IL o'clock the parade assembled
on east Main street and passed
up Main street, thence up King
street to the Catholic church,
thence west to School street,
thence back to Main street where
it disbanded. The parade was
led by the Kamiah band in full
Indian costume, after which came
the high school students, autos
containing the governing board
of the commercial club and the
village council, decorated auto
mobiles, farm autos, business and
farm floats and fine animals from
the live stock exhibits. The par
ade was over half a mile in
length and was one of the finest
ever seen in the upper country.
After the parade the crowd
congregated at the barbecue
grounds where fully 1900 people
were served with generous allow
ances of fine; juicy roast beef
that had been prepared for the
occasion.
In the afternoon small sports
were pulled off on Main street
and the fair visitors made the
rounds of various exhibits and
enjoyed themselves until evening
when the movies and bowery
dance claimed their attention.
On Thursday the weather
showed a decided improvement
and the sun came out bright and
warm throughout the day. Music
by the band filled the morning
hours and at II o'clock the
special train pulled in from Lew
iston with fully one hundred en-
thusiastic boosters, who were
met at the station by the band
and citizens and escorted into
town, where the live stock judg- !
ing was in progress.
In the afternoon wild west
stunts and auto contests were in
order at the ball park and were
followed by a band concert on the
street in the evening and the
picture show and dance.
This afternoon more stunts are
in progress at the ball park and
the sale of live stock is being |
held at the barns on Main street,
Auctioneer Harry C. Cranke, of
Spokane, being in charge of the
sales.
The cold, stormy weather be-
fore the fair opened and the
threatening weather on the open
ing day, together with the fact
that many of the farmers are
still occupied with harvest opera
tions, cut short the exhibits ma
terially yet the showing in all
departments were very credit
able and elected many words of
commendation.
While the horses were not as
many as should have been they
put up a very classy appearance,
the Luchtefeld showing of black
Percherons b icing especially
worthy of mention.
In the cattle division t b e
