WILL GET NEW BRIDGE.

A committee consisting of E. A.
Coles, Jack Wills and F. E. Quist, rep
resenting the Kidder- Harris Highway
District, the village of Kooskia and the
Kooskia Development Club, appeared
before the Board of County Commits
sioners at Grangeville last week to
present the claims of the local High
way District for cooperation of Idaho
county in the construction of the new
bridge across the South Fork of the
Clearwater river at Kooskia.
The bridge is of more than local i'm
portanee as it is used to greater ex-
tent by travel from sections outside
of the highway district. This situation
was fully explained to the county
board and thy have very fairly agreed
to cooperate with the local highway
district and village in the construction
of a bridge.
The Security Bridge Company has
been awarded the contract for the con-
struction of the new bridge. Their bid
of $2985.00 on the 1876 foot, one span,
combination wood and steel bridge, be-
ing the lowest bid received for the one
span structure. The one span bridge
will eliminate dangerous obstruction in
the river during stages of high water
by removal of the center pier used at
present. The contract calls for the COM
pletion of the bridge on or before
August /, 1916. If conditions of the
river will permit, construction will pro-
baby commence about July 1.-Koos-

ELECT SCHOOL DInECToR.

The annual school meeting and cleo
ton Monday afternoon passed off
without so much as a rifle on the sur
face of the turbulent sea, in spite of
the fact that nearly everybody braved
the cantankerous climatic conditions
and evidently had a fixed purpose for
wanting to cast their ballot.
At about one o'lcock, dozen or
more men assembled at the school
house and talked over matters regard
ing to the needed amount to keep the
school going on the same basis as dur
ing the past year, which was placed at
about $500 above the returns from the
state and other sources.
The men present also voted to give
the directors full power to dispose of
the old school property, and attended
to other minor business affairs.
At two clock P. Aschenbrenner was
elected chairman of the election, and E.
G. Addison was made clerk. The names
of B. G. Barbor and J. A. Bushue and
j. A. Bushue were named to be voted
on as director for three years.-Ferdi-

a deal for the purchase o. tract of
ground near the local depot from the
Camas Prairie railway company for the
site for the new flour mill to be erected
there during the coming summer by the

it will be several weeks before the deed
for the ground can be received from

Paul the work of recognizing the COM
pany and increasing the capital stock
is going steadily forward and several
subscriptions of $1,000 each have been
received during the past week The
moving of the mill to the railroad and
the erecting of new mill building
with increased capacity has been under
contemplation for the past couple of
years, but it was only within the past
few months that satisfactory arrange
ments could be made with the railroad
for suitable site for the MILL The
new site acqulIl located on the
north side of the track just west of the
depot and opposite the Vollmer- Clear
water warehouse and it is expected

HEN LAYS EGGS IN ONE DAY.

Joe Broekman dropped in our den
for few moments yesterday and nearly
scared our office devil out of his lob.
when he related that on Monday, April
18th, 1916, one of his two Silver Cam
pine hens, laid three full-sized, WELL
developed eggs-the latter two were
soft-shelled of course.
Joe remarked that he didn't care a
continental who believes it or doesn Il
but eating the pudding is positive
proof to him.
This breed of the feathered tribe is a
new one in this country, and they are
originally from Belgium.
If this hen can keep up her gait all
along the line, the ineubators' name is
pants.-Ferdinand Enterprise.

Died: William L. Smith in the 41st
Spencer near Denver on the Goth day
of April, 1916.
Funeral services were held in the NJ.
E. church at Denver, Idaho, Saturday,
April %. Rev. E. A. Cook of the
Grangeville Baptist church conducting
the service.
So far as earthly existence is concern
ed this marks the end of a noble but
somewhat unusual career.
OF his parents he never had any
definate knowledge.
1t is known that he was placed in an
orphans asylum in Sacramento, Califor-
MIA at very tender age, and that he
was stolen from that institution when
less than four years old. He was
brought to Camas Prairie by man and
his wife by the name of Almond, who
sold their place to John P. Hartman
and the lad of nine years fell into the
hands of Joshua s. Hartman.
Under the kind and humane treat
ment of his new friends, he soon began
to develop the manly and lovable traits
which have endeared him through the
years to his wide circle of acquain-
tances.
In the pioneer conditions of quar-
ter century ago it was almost inevitable
that he should have some of the ex-
periences of a cowboy, but the years
passed in that arduous work, failed 80
detract from his manly and upright
character, he could ride with the best,
but he could also refuse the unmanly
and unnecessary immoralities of some
of his fellow workers
Mr.. Hartman IS residence was always
his home, and the place of warm and
sincere welcome.
And though in recent years he has
followed his natural bent, in working
as machinist, and has consequently
been much away from home, his fire.
quent returns were always gladly an
ticipated. With a naturally sunny
and cheerful disposition, and a life
free from the vicious ten
denotes that are all too common, he
leaves in every acquaintance sorrow
ing heart.
