ASBESTOS FACTORY IN HANNAH.

The kamiah Asbestos Manufacturing
company was born, last Saturday night,
at a meeting of those who had agreed
to take stock in the above company
with the understanding that enough
would be subscribed to make it local
concern. The directors elected for the
ensuing year, W. A. Dissmore, George
H. Waterman, John Matlock, F. H. Reh-
berg and j. f. Schneider.
Machinery for the plant has been
ordered and Mr.. Schneider left the first
of the week for Portland to place a
number of large orders for fire proof
shingles which they will manufacture.
| The demand for the above kind of
material at the present time is very
marked, as Kamiah and one point in
| Arizona, are the only places in the
western United States where CONNER
cial asbestos is to be found, in fact.
Vermont and Georgia are the only
states that can boast of deposits of any
consequence in the east.
! The asbestos of the world is supplied
chiefly by Canada and since the embar-
90 was placed on the product by the
| council of government, at Ottawa, last
! March, there has been great scramble
in this country to find enough to sup
ply the demand of our manufacturers
and consumers.
1t is stated that the local plant now
has orders for great deal of their
product and will have no trouble III
placing all they can manufacture at 3
good price.
Mr.. Schneider stated before he left
that he expected to have the Kamiaf
plant running within six weeks ant
that he will be on the ground himself
in less than three weeks.-Kamiah Pro

FARMERS PICNIC BIG SUCCESS

several hundred persons from the sur
rounding country and nearby towns
LOOK IN the big free picnic given here
yesterday by the local farmers union
and all expressed themselves as being
hlghly pleased with the day IS enter
talnment and hoped that the occasion
might become an annual event. The
DehVer band was on the street early in
the day to dispense sweet music to the
crowd and was quite liberal with its
selections. AT ten clock the crowd
went TO the warehouse where the pro
gram was carried out, consisting of
speeches., music and singing. At noon
Dig Tree basket picnic dinner was
spread on tables arranged for the pur-
pose, the union providing free steaming
not coffee to wash down the eatabes
After dinner small sports held sway UNI
I'll near four O'Clock when the crowd
repaired to the ball park to witness the
tast game between the Ferdinand and
cottonwood teams. In the evening a
Tree play was given at the X. G. hall,
after which dancing held sway until
well INTO the morning hours. The big
hall was crowded to overlooking both
for the play and dance and twice the
floor space could have been used to
advantage. Many people who could
not get away from their duties during
the day motored over in the evening
from Grangeville, Nezperce, 1lo- Voll-
mer and Ferdinand for the show and
dance and the town was filled with
ears and merry crowds of happy girls
and boys out for a good time.
The big picnic was certainly sue
cess in every sense of the word and +he
members of the union are to be congra-
tulated in carrying out the affair SO
successfully. Aftek such brilliant
start, the public will feel disappointed
if the picnic is not made an annual af-
fair.-Cottonwood Chronicle.
