BROUGHT CATTLE OUT TO
FEED

w. A. Jones assisted by Tam Vim
cent, brought out 100 head of cattle
last week from the Jones & Platt
ranch over near Boles and will hold
them until the break up at the w. e..
Hardisty ranch near Tolo, where they
have bought feed. 1t is easier by far
to bring the cattle out to the feed
than to haul the feed to the cattle,
which latter would be absolutely i'm
possible to do with cattle over on the
plains with the present condition of
roads.
Bill says steps have been taken to
hold bond election in his highway
district to raise $4,000 or $4,000
with which to build a good road up
from the river to the prairie, and that
there is no question about it carrying.
That is certainly the right move.
There is nothing the people over on
the plains need more than good roads
to the outside world, and it will be
the best investment ever made.

next Wednesday February %. Under
the direction of Professor E. Fl. Storer
OF the department of music of the
University of Idaho, the glee club dur
ing the middle of January made its

from the press notices of the cities
in which the club appeared, surely
the people of Grangeville are to look
forward to a real treat in a musical
program selected to please everyone.
Miss Alice Tuller accompanist for
the club is considered one of the most
dependable and accurate accompanies
who has ever appeared at the uni
versity.
Mr.. Raymond Pittinger toured with
the glee club all last season, and has
been commented upon by able critics
as very exceptional yiolinist for a
young man still in the teens. He has
been received even more enthusias-
ticaily in his last appearance ON the
clubs tour.
Idaho is indeed proud to be able to
boast of such talented and able So

Obstacles Interfering With
Livestock Show Removed

The Northwest Livestock show has
once more met and overcome what
might be termed serious obstacle in
the way of interference by the Cas-
cade International stock show which
was about to be removed from North
Yakima to Spokane, and is again ma
king plans for bigger and better
show next fall than it has ever be-
fore given. The North Yakima show
will not move to Spokane.
President e s. Sweet called together
the executive committee of the stock
show Tuesday at Spokane, where 1t
held a conference with a committee
from the Lewiston and the Spokane
commercial clubs, which resulted in
a thorough understanding and pretty
definite agreement between the ex-
ecutive committee and the Lewiston
representatives as to future action and
cooperation. The Lewiston Tribune
of the 18th says:
The executive committee of the
Northwest Livestock association and
the Lewiston citizens will work In
harmony in carrying out the plans for
the 1915 livestock show in Lewiston
and the work will be commenced
without delay. This is the report
brought to the city last evening by f.
N. Shepherd, cashier of the Empire
National bank, who as a Lewiston rep
resentative conferred with the execu-
tive committee in Spokane relative to
the plans for the 1915 show. The
other Lewiston representative was
Attorney George Il. Erb and he is ex
Dected to return to Lewiston today.
Mr.. Shepherd stated the first matter
to receive attention is the selection oi
secretary and a special COMMITTEES
was named by the livestock associa
ton to receive applications for thii
position. This committee will pre-
pare its report to be taken before th'
board at a meeting TO be held II
March and at that time the secretar.
will be named and put to work.

REAL NAME, HIGGINS
Will Return to Boise Peniten-
tiary on a One to Two
Year Visit.

Last Saturday morning Just after
breakfast, Beecher Ward Higgins, who
was passing under the name of Charlie
Smith, assaulted Melvin Bosler with a
butcher knife at their. cabin on the
Art Wiley place over in the cove
where they were cutting cordwood,
and cut him up severely about the
arms and hands Higgins had been
grumbling about his food and ex-
pressed discomfort over the fact that
Bosler was receiving better wages
than himself, and finally worked him
self up to a point where he grabbed
up the butcher knife lying on the ta-
bic and started in to carve up his
companion in regular dago style. Bos-
Ter guarded off the blows from his
body, and in doing so had his hands
and arms slashed up pretty badly.
After Higgins had fled the place Bos-
Ter came to Grangeville and was patch
ed up by DIR. Stockton, and had
warrant sworn out for his assailant.
Higgins also came to town and went
to the Wiley warehouse to collect $4
due him for work previously done.
He was paid with check, which he
afterwards raised to $40. After get
! ting the check, Higgins started to

north he turned west and headed for
Cottonwood, where he was arrested
by the sheriff ut noon just as he was
entering town, and was brought back
and lodged in jail.
Higgins was taken before Judge
Steele on Tuesday Mt the district court
room, where he plead guilty to the
charge of assault with a deadly weap-
on, and was given sentence OF from
one to two years in the penitentiary
He is now awaiting the arrival of the
penitentiary guard to begin serving
his sentence.
Higgins, who is only %, has made
something of record as a law vio-
lator He was sent up from Canyon
county for forgery, and after serving
81 months was paroled. He violated
his parole, was rearrested and after
serving under the recommitment was
pardoned out December, 1914.

At a meeting of the local fire de-

ments were completed for the annual
Firemen's Ball which is to be held
next Tuesday evening, February %,
at Schmadeka's hall The fire laddies
have given dance on Washington's
birthday for years and years past and
always the event is recognized and
anticipated as one of the premier so
cial events of the year. The forth
coming dance will likely be the most
largely attended of any in the his
tory of the department as great in
terest Is already manifested. Music
for the dance will be furnished by
Riggs orchestra. Tickets are being
sold at 81 each and, as the department
is deserving of universal support from
all sides, the sale of tickets is ex-
ceedingly large. Everybody who at
tends is assured of a good time and
whether you 90 or not you can well
afford to buy a ticket and assist a
worthy cause.

Last Saturday night probably wit
messed one of the most successful, in
teresting and harmonious public gath
erings in the history of our little city,
in the Lincoln Day celebration called
by the Idaho county Republicans at
the Imperial hotel dining room. There
were 125 plates signed for, but owing
to the fact that the train was delayed
and did not reach Grangeville until
after IL 30 o'clock, the attendance at
the splendid banquet was cut down to
10S However, three of the enthusi-
istic westside Republicans, w. w.
Blackburn, Prof. Jenkins and Charles
Olsen, came anyway, but were toe
late for the big feast. There were
representatives from almost all parts
of the county present, and they all,
to man, expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the occasion, and pro
nounced it the best they had ever par
ticipated in.
s. A. Anderson, Republican county
chairman, filled the position of toast
master with ''grace and ease," and fol-
lowing the banquet which occupied
something like an hour, opened up
"the fireworks with few well chos-
en- remarks which he closed with the
introduction of the speaker of the
evening, Hon. A. III. Conner, of Sand
point, speaker of the house in the
last legislature.
Mr.. Conner, synopsis of whose adj
dress appears elsewhere in this issue,
did not make what would be denom-
mated "a political speech" in the gen.
eral acceptation of that term. Only
insofar as brief recital of Mr.. Lin
coins political career brought out
those features of difference between
the two great political forces of the
country in those early days, and as
those conflicting principles of govern
ment have been adhered to and
brought down to present day applica-
tion, was politics referred to.
But one phase of the life of THE
Great Commoner" was dealt with by
the speaker of the evening, and that
was the political side. The honesty
and integrity of that career as re
lated by history, was set forth by
the speaker in vivid and attractive
