BANDASKSAID
FROM CITY
COUNCIL
Worthy Local Organization
Requests Modest Sum for
Maintenace Fund.

The members of the Grangeville,
band, which organization now has
membership of more than twenty musi-
clans, have petitioned the city council
for financial encouragement in order
to keep the band cantact and In work
ing order throughout the year. The
petition was submitted to the city
fathers at the meeting Monday even
ing but as yet no official action has
been taken upon it,
AS the boys state in their petition
to the council. the band has been on
the job. for over a year past and have
never failed to respond whenever their
services were required. They claim
that they have received no money
whatever from the city for services
rendered. The railroad fare of the
boys to Cottonwood and return was
paid ON one occasion by the Commerce
ial club, but ON this occasion, as In all
other instances, the boys received
nothing for their services. 1t is the
plan of the band to purchase new reg
ulation uniforms, and this Is certain
~ commendable move as good uni
forms increase the worth of a good
band 100 per cent at least. The band
has asked for the modest sum of $3.50
as a maintenance fund during the
present year.
The petition submitted by the band
Is as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and Men,
bers of the City Council of Grange
vile:
We. the undersigned members of the
Grangeville Band, respectfully submit
the following:
The band is at present constituted
has been organized for more than
wear. playing one of the first engage
ments under the present leader, Mr.
H. III. Miller. for the Decoration Day
services In Grangeville last May
Since that time the band has play
ed a large number of engagements Tor
the benefit of the public generally, ana
In addition to this service, has met Tor
rehearsal practically every week OF the
year. Several of the band boys have
made weekly trips across the prairie
from Denver and vicinity to Grange
yille-and are still making these trips
jim order to be present at these reg
ular practices.
Throughout the entire year the band
has responded to every request a0r
music on every possible occasion. we
have never refused to play when re-
ouested. We have met and marched
to the depot in the extreme northern
part of town to meet the evening train
on several occasions; we have piayed
d great number of concerts on NAM
street. mt the Imperial Hotel, ana at
other places, and we have assenoleo
at the court house and marched 70 tne
depot at six O'Clock In the morning.
Several of these engagements uIiio,
tunately. have been played under ao-
verse weather conditions.
For all of this work-throhghoul
tbe entire year-the band has never
had a nay engagement In Grangevllle, rag,s
Not once during the entire year nave
we asked for or received compensation Ion
for all or any part of the service l.Sna the tine

pehses We're guaranteed, but ON this
occasion the boys again donated their
TIME and services gratuituously.
Inc Dand staged one entertainment
during the year from which a profit OF
approximately $4,000 was realized.
Everybody in attendance got his OF
her moneys worth In fun. clean and
wholesome, SO the money received al
the '49 Show can hardly be looked
upon as donation This sum of $3.50
has since been expended in the pur-
chase of new bass horn, one OF the
nhest In the northwest, and needed
music and supplies.
We are at present in splendid shape,
musically. We believe the band has
been and will continue to be a valu-
able asset to the city. 1t is our aim
and intention to continue as we have
started and If the people of the city
Will give us the support we ask for
we will continue to respond In the fu-
ture as we have in the past.
But band In a small city cannot
he wholly self-sustaining. The motive
power which has kept our organiza-
fion going for the past year has been
PUBLIC SPIRIT on the part Of the
band boys, and we have reached that
stage where we must have some finanes
ial aid from the people of the city.
We will continue to be as public spir-
tied as ever, but it Is imperative that
we receive assistance financially.
We are reliably informed that the
city OF Lewiston through its city coun-
Gil, Is under contract to pay $1350.00
per year for band; and Boise main
tains municipal band at cost of APP
proximately 100000 per year.
Under the circumstances as above
outlined and believing that good.
uniformed band is an asset of value
to city, the members of the Grange
vile Band respectfully ask financial
aid from the city of Grangeville for the
year 1917, through your honorable
body, on behalf of the people of the
city, as follows:
The sum of $4,000 as the purchase
price for a set of regulation uniforms
for the band.
The sum of $250.00 as a fund for the
maintenance of the band during the
year 1917.
Total, 100000
We believe that our services in the
past, service which we hope by
your aid to continue In the future, en-
titles the band to the aid we have here
requested and petitioned.

PARK.

Mesdames g. s. Stockton and G. @.
Cali appeared before the city council
last Monday night as committee from
the civic club, and reported that they
had completed the job OF planting the
city park at the old cemetery grounds

lars and that they desired to make
other improvements. The ladies made
the request that connection be made
with the water main at the southeast
corner OF the park and that hydrant
be put In. The council granted the
request. The ladies are planning to
put In a fountain at the northwest
corner of the grounds where the main
entrance win be established.

Frank r. Gooding, Former
Governor, First to Toss
Hat in Ring.

Boise, Idaho, May 5.---A movement
Is under way among prominent repub-
licans and leading men OF Idaho to
induce United States Senator William
r. Borah to reconsider his decision
to retire from public service after
his present term expires. Every pres
sure will be brought to bear upon him
In the hope that he can be influenced
to change his mind. The close friends
and political advisors OF Senatow Bor-
ah. however, believe that the efforts
will be useless.
James ii. Gipson, chairman Of the
progressive state central committee
Is one of the leaders active In bring
Ing influence to bear on Senator
Borah to reconsider. He suggests
that 1000 or 1900 citizens file his
nomination papers for the republican
primaries in 1918. He believes That
IL this Is done Senator Borah will re-
spond to the call Of the people and
stand for reelection. There was some
surprise expressed here because SEN
ator Borah voted against the censcrip-
ti0n bill In the senate. However. IL is
generally accepted that he voted his
convictions on the issue. At no time
was Senator Borah nm obstructionist
In attempting to block the plans OF
the administration in the war crisis.

among the first to get into the United
States senatorial race TO succeed Sen
ator William 10. Borah, who has an

having been chief executive when the
Western Federation troubles were on.
He has also twice been candidate
for United States senator. Prior to the
time the law providing for the direct
election Of senators went into effect
and when the legislature In 1913 cleo
ted James III. Brady to succeed Weldon
b. Hepburn, now deceased, Mr. Good
Ing was a candidate against Senator
Brady but withdrew from the race
owing to question being raised as to
his citizenship qualifications. Mr..
Go0ding was born In England. Two
years later when Senator Brady went
before the people for reelection, Mr..
Gooding was one of his opponents but
was unsuccessful.
1T is true | have told some of my
friends that ! intend to announce my
for the senatorship,' said
Mr.. Gooding. Had Senator Borah
been a candidate for reelection would
have given him my most loyal sup
port. With the field open have de-
cided To enter IL as a republican can
