Wants No Fuss and Feathers

Inaugural balls are not in the
good graces of the incoming ad-
ministration, so there will be no
flutter of society when the state
officials elect are sworn into office,
says a Boise dispatch. Governor
Alexander was not in favor of an
inaugural ball two years ago
when he was first elected. He
has not changed his mind now
that he has been reelected. The
chief executive makes it very
plain that the people who ele-
vated him to the highest Office in
their gift are not the ones who
attend inaugural balls. He said
two years ago that elaborate ex-
penditure of funds for balls to
inaugurate state officials could
better be spent in aiding the suf
fering on the battlefelds of Eur
ope. With the war still in prog
gress he is of the opinion that
there are more serious problems
than official state balls to face.
Owing to the fact state officials
will not be inaugurated on the
same day the legislature con-
venes the first instance of its
kind in the history of the state,
there will be two separate inaug-
ural ceremonies. State officials
will be sworn in on Monday, jan
uary 1, in the house of represent
tatives by Justice Alfred Bulge,
who becomes chief justice with
the reorganization of that tribu-
nal. Adjutant General Moody
will be master of ceremonies.
The governor and his staff, with
the public, will attend. The
ceremony will be brief. On the
following Monday, January 8,
the legislature will organize and
that evening a public reception
will be held in the rotunda of the
new capital in honor of the solons.
There will be no dancing and the
reception is announced as in.
formal.

Orofino Has An Inventor

W. M. Peatman has invented
what may develop into one of the
biggest inventions of the year,
and not only put Orofno on the
map, but incidentally put Mr..
Peatman into t h millionaire
class with a whoop. The new
invention is a differential, or
drive gear that will drive from
both hind wheels, and always
drive as long as one of
the wheels has any contact with
the road. Here is the situation.
Take any automobile, whether a
Ford or Sc, 900 car, and on a dry
floor jack up either hind wheel.
Start the engine and you cannot
move the car. The loose wheel
turns while the wheel on solid
floor will not move. Mr.. Peat
man has invented a gear that
overcomes this, and he can jack
up one wheel and pull it off. APP
piled to mud one can see that in
mud a car is practically helpless
if either wheel gets into soft
ground even if the other wheel
is on solid footing. With the
Peatman patent a car can pull as
long as either wheel can get any
footing, and in a trial test We'd
nesday around Orofino with a
load of local auto owners t h e
Peatman Ford, equipped with
the new invention, walked thru
deep mud from the end of the
paving down to the depot and in
other parts of town. Republican.

Will PIatt Joins Benedicts

Will Platt and bride arrived in
the city Wednesday evening from
a trip to Portland and other out
side points n d will leave
soon for their home across the
river. Mrs. Platt was formerly
Miss Vivian Jones, daughter of
Sam Jones of Boles, and has been
visiting for several weeks with
friends at Genesee. A couple of
weeks ago Mr.. Platt went out to
attend the Lewiston stock show
and he and Miss Jones were
quietly married and then went on
to Portland for a short trip be-
fore returning t o their home
across the river. Both are we'll
known and highly respected and
number their friends by hun
dreds. The bride has lived al
most her entire life in this coun-
ty and is a young lady of fine
qualifications and charming per-
sonality. The groom came here
a number of years ago from Gen
esee and engaged in the cattle
business across the river and to-
day is considered quite wealthy.
He is a young man of fine char
acter and in every way worthy
of the lady of his choice. The
Chronicle extends hearty con-
gratulations.

Grand Theatre Salem

The Reese Bros. players, who
are appearing at the Grand Thea
tire during the fair week, are
notably superior to any talent of
that character ever appearing in
Salem. The old humdrum jokes
and belated minstrel comics are
CONSPICUOUS by their absence in
this show and each member of
the company is an artist in the
2 OF h century entertainment.
Arthur Reese, an amusing con-
versationalist, is one of the most
characteristic numbers of the
company, while Florence Blue,
Major Bailey and Jessie Reese
are blessed with beautiful voices
and their efforts are those o1
players who are sincerely de-
sirous of pleasing their audiances
Jopie Murray is a dancer extra
ordinary. His antics are mirtk
provoking, while at the same
time he is capable of some
amazing foot work. The tango
dancers are immense. Tom Davis
and Ollie Rees are clever end
men. The Reese Bros. are CUR
jugglers with no superiors. The
show as a whole is first class
The music is enhancing. They
will appear at the Grand during
the week.-Salem (Ore,) News

day evening and proved very
satisfactory. They were greeted
by a large audience and the pro-
gram rendered was the best SC

being particularly fine and the
impersonations of Miss Rich oi
a very high character. While
the program, as the name sug

tirely of Irish selections the mum

and Had Enjoyable Time

Work.

The Craig Mountain district
convention of Knights of Pythias
which was held in this Tuesday
evening was a decided success

seventy-five members of the or
der were present from the sur
rounding territory and degree
teams from the Vollmer, lilo and
Culdesac lodges competed during
the evening, the former team
winning first honors and the Ilo
team taking second place. After
the degree work was completed
an elegant banquet was provided
by the Pythian Sisters, to which
all did ample justice. The work
of the convention was not COM

visitors decided it was then too
late to think Of sleep and whiled
away the rest of the time with
cards, music and singing. Cul-
desac was selected as the place
for holding the next convention
and the date chosen was May
