Name Wren President

Thomas Wren of the we'll
known firm of Wren & Greenough
was yesterday elected president
of the Northwest Livestock asso-
citation at meeting held at the
Bollinger hotel. The election
was held by the directors at 5
o'clock, and large number of
the association members and
stockmen were in attendance.
D. S. Wallace, vice president
of the association and one of the
men who has been actively iden-
titled with the making of the
shows for several years, was
urged to become a candidate for
the presidency, but expressed
his preference to remain in the
ranks and asked that his friends
give their support to Mr.. Wren,
whom he regarded as the proper
person to head tee association for
the ensuing year.
In the election of Mr.. Wren the
association has secured one of
the most competent executive
officials in the northwest. The
firm of Wren and Greenough for
many years has been engaged in
railroad construction work and
also operates one of the largest
farms and stock ranches in the
Camas prairie country. M r.
Wren has been one of the heavi-
est purchasers of pure bred
horses at the auction sales con-

Following the meeting of the

association was held for the pur-
pose of discussing matters of in

ers. Plans for the 1917 show
were generally discussed and an
early campaign in the interest of

Band Boys Organize

Cottonwood's new band is now
well under way and the first
practice will be held on Sunday
Dec. 18th. At recent meeting
officers were elected to look after
the affairs of the new organiza-
tion and Prof. Shattuck, of Fer
dinand, was employed as in
structor. Eighteen members
n ow have instruments n d
are ready to begin practicing
and this number will be swelled
to about thirty as soon as the
other boys can secure instru-
ments. The commercial club
has donated money enough to
pay the instructor for the first
two months and to purchase the
necessary music for starting the
band and the members have no
fears of not being able to keep
the band going after it is once
nicely started.
There are several capable
players among the band members
and it will not be long until the
boys will be able to appear in
public and make a creditable
showing. Hereafter no more
imported music for Cottonwood
on public occasions, and it is also
highly probable that the starting
of a band will result in a capable
orchestra being started here in
the near future, which will be
another valuable acquisition for
our town.

ANOTHER PIONEER
CALLED HOME
Robert Watson, One of Idaho
County's Oldest Settlers, Is
Laid to Rest-Was a Mason
for Many Years.

Robert Watson, one of the
earliest pioneers of the central
Idaho country, passed quietly
away at the home of Joseph Hill
west of Nezperce on Monday at
the ripe old age of 81 years. The
deceased came to Idaho county

place where he lived until a few
years ago. After the death of
his only son he sold the farm and
spent some time at Asotin, later
returning and making his home
with the Hill family near Nez-
perce where he was tenderly
cared for during his declining
days.
The remains were brought to
this place Tuesday afternoon and
were laid to rest in the local
cemetery Wednesday afternoon,
the funeral being in charge of the.
Masonic lodge of Grangeville, of
which the deceased was a mem
ber o f many years. standing.
The deceased had no near rela-
tives but many of the old pio-
neers followed the remains to
their last resting place and bore
silent witness to the esteem in
which the deceased was held by
all who knew him best. Peace
be to his ashes.

Boys Want To Come Home

Fred Lange this week received
a lengthy letter from Orville
Kendall who is with the Idaho
troops on the Mexican border, he
being the first soldier to enlist
from the Cottonwood section.
Kendall says the boys are all in
the bestof health and spirits but
would like to get back home
pretty we'll. They think they
have done their full duty at the
front and do not like to be held
there for simple guard duty
when there are plenty Of regular
troops to handle the job. Mutt
says the Idaho regiment has
made a fine showing ever since
it landed at the border and is rec
ognized as one of the best volun-
teer regiments at the front. He
says they recently dug trenches
and put up barbed wire entangle-
ments and afterward gave the
trenches to the Alabama regi-
ment and then re-took them in
sham battle.

Will PUT IN
COLD STORAGE
Local Creamery Company
Plans On Equipping Plant
to Hold Surplus Butter and
Eggs for Highest Prices.

Cottonwood is still on the up
grade and hardly a week passes
but! something is undertaken
here that hasa tendency to add
material wealth and improve
ment to the town and commun-
ity.i
The latest thing projected for
benefit Of our community is an
up to date cold storage and ice
manufacturing plant, which will
be installed during the coming
winter months inconnection with
theslpcal creamery plant.
The directors and stockholders
of the creamery held meeting
in the city Tuesday forenoon, at
which time complete report Of
the creamery affairs from the
opening of the creamery last
spring down to date was made.
The affairs of the company were
found to be in excellent condition.
The creamery has done a fine
business since it began to turn
out butter last July and, besides
paying good price for butter
fat each month, has operated at
a profit and paid off Indebtedness
and purchased new equipment
sufficient to increase the par
value Of the stock more than SIS
per share in less than six months.
The need, however, of cold
storage facilities is fully realized
by the directors of the creamery
and at the meeting Tuesday it
was voted to sell part Of the re-
naming treasury stock and in
stall a modern cold storage plant
and ice machine during the win
ter months and have the same in
readiness for operation early in
the spring. The building for
this new department will occupy
about the same space as the pres
ent creamery and ground will be
broken this week to get the site
in readiness for the new build
ing.
The new addition to the cream
cry, when complete, will cost
about $4500 and the new equip
ment will enable the creamery
company to hold all of the butter
made during the spring and sum-
mer months in cold storage here
until late in the year when prices
are materially higher. T h e
creamery company will also pur-
chase eggs from all parts of the
two prairies and hold them in
storage until winter.
The ice manufacturing plant
will be used in connection with
the ice cream department and
will take the place of the old
time expensive ice house.

For Sheep Ranch

Through a deal consumated
last week, Charles Dunham, well
known stockman of Whitebird,
secured of Gus Wright his entire
holdings on the river, something
better than 1000 acres of decided
land beside leases, etc. This will
give Dunham better than 2800
acres of decided land. He has
purchased 1400 head of extra fine
Rambouillet sheep of a Montana
party and intends running sheep
upon the Wright ranch and win
probably later dispose of his
cattle and confine his efforts to

To Oblivion

Take me and lull me into perfect
sleep,
Down, down, far hidden in thy
duskiest cave;
While all the clamorous years above
me sweep
Unheard, or, like the voice of seas
that rave
On far-off coasts, but murmurine
DER my trance
A dim vast monotone that shall en-
nance
The restful rapture of the inviolate
grave.
Upgathered thus in thy divine en-
brace,
Upon raine eyes thy soft mesmeric
hand,
While wreathes of opiate odor inter
lace
About my pulseless brow; babe
pure and bland,
Pass1onless, senseless, thoughtless,
let me dream
Some ever-slumbrous never-varyine
theme
Within the shadows of thy time
less land.
