tlement been made when the
knocking" was most insisteni
the state would have secured only
$93, 600 instead of $154, 900, which
latter sum the governor finally
secured by holding back until
they could get to the bottom of
the matter.
In fact it looked very much
like a personal attack on the gov
ernor as the dying effort of the
old gang to ride back into office,
and judging from the icy silence
in which the remarks of the
speaker were received, the nota-
BILE lack of applause and en-
thusiasm and the steadily dwind-
ling audience, we doubt very
much if any votes were changed
as a result of the meeting.

Herman BickseI Dies Suddenly

Herman Bicksel, a well known
and prosperous farmer of the
Garfield section, was found dead
in his barn on Thursday morning
of last week, having apparently
died from heart failure while
tending to his horses. The de-
ceased, who was about 81 years
of age, had been troubled with
heart attacks for some time. On
the day of his death he had gone
to the barn to water his horses
and had watered one team and a
saddle horse. Later a woman
employed at the place went to
the barn to get her saddle horse
and saw him lying apparently
asleep in the stall. She notified
Mrs. Bicksel and the latter inn
mediately went to investigate
and found her husband dead and
the body almost cold.
Herman Bicksel was one of the
early settlers of the Doumecq
plains country and was highly
respected by all of his neighbors
and acquaintances. He was q
brother-in-law of the Moughmer
brothers, residing south Of this
place, and is said to have been a
man of considerable property.
The funeral was held at the
family home last Friday and the
remains were brought to this
place for burial Saturday after
noon.
The Chronicle joins with the
family friends in extending SYM
pathy to them in their sad be-
reavement.

New Elevator in Operation

The new $4,000 bushel elevator
of the Cottonwood Milling & Ele-
vator company has been opera
ting for the past three or four
days and is working nicely. All
of the machinery except the dust
collectors, which will be shipped
with the new machinery for the
the flour mill, is in place and the
elevator is working without a
hitch except for an occasional
loose belt. More than ten thous-
and bushels Of grain has been
received and stored in the eleva-
tor this weeksand at the present
rate it will not take long to fill it
to full capacity.
Work on the'new mill building
is also progressing nicely and the
same will soon be under roof.
The mill building extends around
the elevator on two sides and is
so arranged that grain can be
taken from any bin into the mill
without handling any of it by
hand. When completed the mill
and elevator will be one of the
most complete and labor-saving
plants in the state.
Manager Meyer states the
grain market is very strong at
this time and prices are going
higher almost daily. One farm
er refused a price of $1.5O per
bushel this week for Marquis

Big Profits in Farming

Who wouldn't be a farmer or
Camas Prairie this year. They
are all making big money, not
only the fellow who farms his
own land but the renters as well.
AS evidence of this fact we quote
the following: H. H. Nuxoll owns
a 160-acre farm southeast OF
town, of which 152 acres are un.
der cultivation. He had the
place rented this year to. F. j.
Kolbeck and Theo. Toennis.
From the former he got as his
one-third of the crop from sc
acres, wheat to the value Of
$1139. so; from the latter as his
share of the crop from 96 acres,
wheat to the value of $1928. %,
or a total of $3O67. 70 net receipts
from one-third of the crop in a
single year. This would make
the entire crop bring more than
So, 900, or a sum sufficient to
have purchased many choice
quarter sections of land here q
few years ago. Verify, who
wouldn't be a farmer.

TannahiIl Made Good Speech

The political meeting held here
Saturday evening by Atty. Geo.
w. Tannahill, of Lewiston, drew
a fair crowd and was greatly ap-
preciated by most of those who
heard him. Mr.. Tannahill is a
pleasing speaker and treated his
subjects convincingly. He spoke
entirely on national matters and
reviewed the European war stu
alton as affecting this govern
ment, showing how President
Wilson had stood for peace at all
times and had refused to allow
the nation to be pushed into war
after the sinking of the Lusitan-
la and Sussex until the German
government had been given a
chance to explain those matters
satisfactorily. He said that the
Germans of this country had ev-
cry reason to feel friendly to the
mother country and that this did
not destroy their good citizenship
so long as they were loyal to the
Stars and Stripes, and said
that had not Wilson occupied the
chair at the White House not on
ly war munitions but the young
men of our country would have
been going across the ocean
months ago to assist the allied
armies. He explained the Mex
lean situation as having been
brought on by the wealthy men
of this country in order to have
the government protect their
enormous investments in that
country.
Mr.. Tannahill spoke at some
length on beneficial legislation
enacted during the Wilson ad-
ministratian and said it would be
a step backward not to allow the
president to continue his great
work. His speech throughout
was sound, sensible talk to the
voter and it is to be regretted
that more of our people were not
there to hear him.

He SKINNED
EN- ALIVE
Senator Rockwell Tried Old
Time Rip Roaring Methods
But Did Not Win Many
Votes.

What promised for time t
be one of the old-time blood an,
thuuder, fire eating campaign
speeches was advertised her,
Wednesday when bills wer'
scattered about the town an
nouncing the coming that eve
ming of Senator Rockwell, O.
Blaine county, with the promise
that he would Skin Gov. Alex
ander alive!'' This flaming an
nouncement drew out quite &
crowd to the opera house to see
how the "skinning" would be
done but after the citizens haG
listened for nearly two hours tc
the senator's attacks on the
governor most of them went
home firmer than ever Of the
opinion that it will be to the best
interests of the state to return
the governor for another two
years on November 7th.
S. A. Anderson of Grangeville,
chairman of the republican
county organization, presided at
the meeting and the first speaker
was a south Idaho.man who de-
voted his time to the German
voters and why they ought to
support Candidate Hughes. He
closed with a final dig at Cover
nor Alexander which did not
lend strength to his former
pleadings.
Senator Rockwell devoted his
time entirely to state matters
and particularly to pulling to
pieces the claimsiofsthe ex-governor
in his recentlspeeches around the
state. He said there was no
such thing as a lie; it being
merely an absence of the
TRUTH" and to the casual OBJ
server this would seem to apply
to the senator's remarks fully as
well as he applied it to the chief
executive of the state. Senator
Rockwell claimed to be an expert
accountant and to have recently
gone through the books at the
state capital. He also appears to
be a close student of psychology,
for he never failed to seize upon
the psychological place.to stop in
his remarks when to have gone
farther wouldSsShave Tmeant un-
doing all he had said. In claim
ing that the governor had af-
fected no savings for the state
while in Office he Sstated that.
there was 100000 in the treas
ury from taxes collected during
the Haines administration when
Governor Alexander went into
office. He said the governor
caused $4O0, 900 of this to be used
for state purposes and that this
could not properly be called
saving of that amount. But he
failed entirely to state that at
the end of the present year there
will be considerably more than a
million dollars in the state treas
ury, as the governor stated here
last week, or more than enough
to run all the Offices of the state
for the next year. He spoke of
the increased earnings of many
departments of state during the
past two years and said this was
due to efficiency of the state
officers and not to the governor,
but he failed again to say that
these offices had made a better
showing under the watchful eye
ofsthe governor than ever before.
Senator Rockwell told of the
Allen Coleman defalcations and
tried to cast blame on the COVER
nor for holding back on the settle
ment with the bonding company,
speaking feelingly of how the
bonding company was knocking
on the door and asking for a
settlement" but forgot again to
tell the public that had this set

Office man in the county, without

controls 60 per cent. of the oil supply
OF the entire world. Mexico, On whose
supply Great Britain is relying, has
about 10 per cent. Three barrels Of
oil will do the work of one ton Of coal.
A merchant vessel can save one q day
by the use of oil because of the rapid
ty with which supplies can be taken
IN. A ship using oil can work with a
smaller crew and also have greater
cargo space, as about one-half of the
space now taken by coal can be saved.
