She Gave Her "Mite"

Grandma" Robertson, mother
of Thos. Robertson, the we'll
known stock man of this section
gave good lesson in patriotism
last Friday when she turned SO
over to Mr.. Tannahill for the Red
Cross fund. She is 80 years of
age, and in donating the amount,
which was "pin money" she had
saved up for just such purpose,
she stated that she was feeble
and could not do much, but that
much she did with all her heart.
She has lived through one great
war and knows by experience
something of her country needs
in these stressful times. Hers is
the example of the truly patriotic.
-Nezperce Herald.
o What a difference between the
spirit prompting such sacrifice
and that of the man worth thou
sands who was 'too short" to
contribute anything to the Red
Cross fund.

Big Picnic at Spring Camp

Stephen Kiely was in the city
Monday from his home on the
Joseph and dropped in for few
minutes chat with the Chronicle
man before leaving. He Incl
dentally informed US how num-
her of the residents of the plains
country spent the Fourth this
year and said they had the finest
time possible. All gathered at
the Spring Camp school house
where program of speeches and
songs had been prepared by the
teacher, Mrs. Chamberlain, and
the children carried out their
parts in perfect style. Charles
Jackson was director of sports
during the day and saw that ev-
eryone had the best time possible.
At noon the lunches were spread
all together in regular picnic
style and were hugely enjoyed,
after which the afternoon was
given over to races and sports of
all kinds in which the little folks
took fully as much part as did
their elders, In the evening a
big dance took place and every
one present was made to dance,
some limbering up to the strains
of music after more than fifteen
years of inactivity. All told, Mr..
Kiely said the picnic was the
most enjoyable he has ever at
tended across the river and his
opinion is shared by all who were
fortunate enough to be present
that day.

Much Money For Cream

Over $4,000 was paid to the
farmers of this section by the
local creamery for butter fat de-
livered at the creamery during
the month of June. This is a
right neat little sum of money to
be turned loose in a community
and shows how the creamery is
growing, as the sum just paid is
materially larger than for any
previous month since the cream
cry started. AS time passes and
the farmers secure better grade
Of dairy cattle and increase their
herds and provide suitable pas
ture and winter feed the monthly
cream checks issued by the cream
cry will no doubt be double or
treble the above sum, but this
will take time and in the mean
time the business will continue to
gradually increase until the dairy
and creamery business becomes
one of the important industries
of this locality.

Had Some Fishing Trip

Fred Lange, George Rustic
meyer, Frank Schober, Carl Reh-
der and DIN Hamlin made up a
party that went up to Deer Greek
south of Forest Saturday evening
on a trout fishing trip. The boys
drove up to the head waters of
the stream in car and camped
there that night, making an early
start the next morning. They
were told the fishing was best
below the falls and three started
fishing down stream while the
others drove the car down to the
mine where they were all to meet
later in the day. After fishing
down for several miles the first
three passed a couple of high
falls and thought they were near
the appointed meeting spot. Af-
ter fishing there until late in the
afternoon they decided the boys
with the car had missed connec-
tions and started back up hill,
reaching Forest about nine o.
clock. In the meantime Carl and
Frank drove down to the Deer
Creek mine, which was fully a
mile farther down stream than
the falls above mentioned, and
not meeting the other boys, re.
NAMED there for the night. The
party got together again Monday
morning and came home about
noon, having caught about $50
fish, some of which measured
fully II inches in length. We
had the pleasure of sampling
some of them and can testify to
their fine eating qualities.

Charge Illicit Beer Brewing

A Grangeville dispatch to the
Lewiston Tribune says: John
Seibl, an employe of the Grange
vile brewery at the time the
brewery was operated here, and
George Stallinger, a farmer re-
siding seven miles northwest of
Grangeville, were arrested yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff Eller
on the charge of conducting an
illicit brewery at the Stallinger
ranch. Bottled and keg beer to
the amount of rs gallons was
seized and the contents of a vat
in the process of brewing were
also taken by the officer. The
internal revenue department of
the United States has been in
formed of the arrests and seiz-
ures and an internal revenue Of
ficer is now enroute to Grange
vile. Seibl is held in Jail and
Stallinger was released to look
after his farm and livestock.
The arrest was made upon a
warrent issued by County At
torney E. M. Griffith and the of
ficers have declined to disclose

led up to the arrests. 1t is un-

considerable period and consider

Some has reached Grangeville
and some has been sold at Cot

claiming to have knowledge OF
the business state the beer was
generally sold at the ranch to
parties who went out from the
towns and to the farmers of the
neighborhood. Stallinger is con.
Quoting the farm of the late Seth
Jones. The men were later
placed under a bond of $3.50 each
and their hearing was continued
until early in August.
