Big Land Deal

One of the biggest land deals
ever closed in the Genesee coun-
try occurred last Saturday, when
the Geo. Follett ranch of 1480
acres, eight miles east of tow n,
was purchased by PIatt Bros. for
a consideration of $55,5OO.
This is one of the finest farms
in the country and is.well suited
to the purpose for which it was
purchased by the Platt Brothers,
namely, that of stock raising.
The ranch had been in possession
of the Follett family for the past
81 years, being owned by George
Follett, Sr., until his death, when
it came into possession of his son,
George FoIlett.
Platt Bros. have been extern
sively engaged in stock raising in
the Salmon river country for the
past 21 years and have been very
successful. They plan to still
keep their Salmon river holdings
but will place some of their pure
bred stock now on the Plat ranch
near town, and on their recently
acquired ranch. They also plan
to bring their Salmon river stock
here to finish for market.
Will Platt will remain in the
Salmon river district to look after
their interests there, while John
Platt will remove with his family
to the new ranch as soon as the
crops are off the ground this fall.

Some Potatoes

The Orofino Mercantile COM
pany picked up a sack of potatoes
the other day out of the ordinary.
There were 80 spuds in the sack,
the total weighing 125 pounds.
The price paid was 4 cents per
p >und, or a fraction over 81 cents
for each potato. The potatoes
were grown on the farm of E. C.
Chase of Ahsahka, and as Miss
Nellie Chase took first prize last
year at the Spokane interstate
fair on potatoes, the Tribune will
give the young lady credit for
growing the fine ones sold in Oro-
fino one day this week. Such
evidence of what the soil in Clear
water county will do, should stim-
ulate everyone to make an effort
to raise something this year.

the policy of the state highway
department not to award con-
tracts at period that would in
terfere with the food production
campaign by withdrawing labor,
yet there is no reason whatever
why the various interested coun-
ties or locs lities should not pro-
ceed with their financing to join
with the state and federal gov
ernment in the road construction
work. The state and government
cannot under the law join in any
road construction that is not in
part financed by the locality serv-
ed and so the earlier the commu-
mites act the earlier they will
share in the state and federal
funds.
Mr.. Booth estimates that with
prompt action on the part of all
localities it will require two years
time to build the north and south
highway, so it is important that
all the preliminary details of f.
nance be carried out Immediately.

Gun Club Now Operating

Several members of the local
gun club got out Sunday after
noon and located the trap on
the hill east of town an d
put in a couple of hours trying to
slaughter the clay pigeons.
Some of the boys had very good
luck and showed evidence of
graduating into good artists at
the traps in time to come. An
other meeting of the club will be
held Sunday afternoon at two
O'Clock and all members are re-
quested to come out at that time
and take part in shoot and ia
miliarize themselves with the
sport. Some of the Grangeville
boys may also be over to help us
get started off on the right foot
and it is believed no trouble will
be experienced in perfecting a
first class gun club here during
the coming summer. The club
will provide plenty of sport for
the members and will afford a.
musement for many who other
wise are prevented from getting
much outside exercise.

Thrown Back Into
The Public Domain

There is a possibility that L.
500, 900 thousand acres of land
now held from entry within irri-
g ltion projects in this state where
the irrigation systems have never
been completed, will be turned
into the public domain and thrown
open for entry in the near future.
At a meeting of the state land
board held Saturday the register
was instructed to report on all
irrigation projects now being
withheld from public entry Under
Cary act segregations with a view
of citing officers of companies to
a pear and show cause why the
land should not be cancelled.
Included in the list are the
Blackfoot north side project, the
Black Canyon project, the Gas
mere project, the Grandview ex-
tension, the Bruneau and Bruneau
extension. The representatives
of the companies promoting the
Blackfoot and Bruneau projects
are cited to appear before the
board May %.

To Organize First Aid Class

On next Monday evening at 8
O'Clock, at the X. G. hall, anoth-
.er meeting will be held for the
purpose of trying to organize a
First Aid class to affiliate with
the local Red Cross society and it
is desired that as many residents
of this locality as possible will
come out and familiarize them
selves with the purpose of the
organization and join the class if
they so see fit. The joining of a
first aid class does not in any way
compromise the members and
they cannot be called into active
service even in case of dire neces-
sity but the work is one that Ia
of direct benefit to all persons in
their daily life and is particularly
beneficial to parents of families.
The class can also assist the Red
Cross society materially in its
work and, with other towns TAX
ing such an active interest in this
kind of work, it would seem that
Cottonwood should not be back
ward in doing its full. part. The
lack of attendance at former
meetings is thought to have been
due to a lack of familiarity with
the work in hand and it is hoped
the meeting next Monday even
ing will enjoy a large attendance.
Please arrange your affairs SO you
can be there at the hour named
and jog the memory Of some Of
your friends who ought to join
the class but may forget the date.

Band Plans Entertainment

The members of the Cotton
wood band are working hard in
preparation for an entertainment
and concert to be given in the K.
C. hall, Wednesday evening, May
80. for the purpose of raising
funds for the support of the
band.
This entertainment will be in
the nature of a. concert, with
music by the band, vocal and in
strumental solos and other feat
ures of a novel and entertaining
nature, and the boys promise one
of the best shows seen in the
city for some time.
The band is making good prog
ress musically and in the next
few months will be an organiza-
tion capable of holding its own
with any similar organization on
the prairie, despite the fact that
it was almost shot to pieces by
enlistment of a number of its
best players when the first call
came for volunteers. 1t is well
worthy of the support of our citi-
zens and the boys will undoubt-
edly be greeted with crowded
house.

Knops in Bad Runaway

While returning to their home
north of town Sunday afternoon
Mr.. and Mrs. John f. Knop ex-
perienced quite an accident and
the former narrowly escaped
serious injury. When near their
home their team took fright and
started to run. Mrs. Knop start
ed to jump from the rig but her
husband pulled her back and as
he did so he was thrown from the
rig and struck on his head, cut
ting bad cash in his scalp and
rendering him unconscious. A
few feet farther the rig crossed
a gully and the tongue came down
and ran into the ground, over
turning the buggy and catching
Mrs. Knop beneath it. However,
she escaped without a scratch and
was soon back to her husbands
side. Others arrived at this time
and the injured man was carried
to the house and doctor sum-
moned. His wound was dressed
and after a day in bed he was
able to be around again as usual,
although somewhat the worse for
wear. His escape from serious
injury was fortunate and both
are to be congratulated in getting
out as luckily as they did.
