CRANCEVILLE
LAST FRIDAY
PROMINENT IDAHOIAN SPENDS
FRIDAY EVENING IN THE CITY
MEETING WITH FRIENDS
CANDIDATE FOR US. SENATE
Gives Out Statement Relative to His
Candidacy-Favors Laying Aside of
Aggressive Partisanship.

Ex- Governor James H. Hawley was in
the city Friday night, coming over from
Nezperce with Auditor White Friday
afternoon. Mr.. Hawley was in Nez-
perez on business affairs and while in
the North came over to Grangeville to
look after some legal matters and in
cidentally spend u few pleasant hours
with his many warm personal friends
in the city. The Ex-Governor is fine
type Of the western man, and one Of
Idaho IS leading citizens and richly
deserving of the title of Idaho 8 Grand
Old Man. We understand he will be
q candidate for the United States senate
and will contest in the primary with
other leading men of his party, which
according to rum0r includes such stall
wart democrats Us Nugent, Day and
Alexander, any of whom is worthy of
the position and will measure up to the
high standards of such well known re-
publicans as Judge Ailshie, Frank Il.
Gooding and Ed. Dewey who are seek
ing the. nomination on the republican
ticket.
When interview ed regarding his can
didacy, Mr.. Hawldy said:
81 have expected since the ending OF
the 1916 campaign to be a candidate
| for the L. S. senate next election If my
health permitted and public sentiment

|PROCLA|MS THEC|TY
| IS IN SANITARY
CONDITION
srArE INSPECTOR DROPS IN AND
pAYs US LITTLE VISIT-FINDS
CONDITIONS ABOVE AVERAGE
STATE AFTER THE CURf-ALLs
Pulling the Old Favorite Fakes From
the Shelves-Much Tuberculosis in
Hogs-Kin No Veal.

L. A. Blackman, deputy pure food in
spector for North Idaho, dropped in on
| the town Saturday night and spent
several days here looking things over
as regards our sanitary condition. He
stated he found the general sanitary
condition of Grangeville ahead of the
average. Nothing real bad to report.
The butcher shops and hotels were in
/ first class shape. The picture show
compiled with the law iG every respect
Several milkmen were not complying
with the law, delivering milk in pals,
etc. and not sanitary bottles as the state
Eprovides. He found no shors weight but
Tier being sold, which it seems is a
rather common complaint elsewhere.
| The rubbish and manure around barns
etc. had not been removed in several
| Instances and the parties at fault have
| been instructed to clean up and remedy
this objection.
| Taken all in all the inspector seemed
pretty well pleased with conditions and
| felt with our willingness to remedy
such faults as he pointed out the town
would be in first class shape upon the
occasion of his next visit, the date of
which is the little surprise Mr.. Inspector
has in store for us, as you know for
obvious reasons he never sends advance
cards.
We learned the federal government
/ has pronounced a number of nostrums
as fakes and frauds and in connection
/ with the other duties of his office the
! inspector is authorized to visit drug
stores and when these goods under ban
are on the shelves to destroy them. He
showed us a supplementary list of over
56 and included in this lot were a lot
of the old favorities with the extrava
! giant claims for cures. The day of the
eure-all is fast passing and as re
suit savings bank accounts and good
health will flourish.
The inspector stated one would be
surprised at the tuberculosis in the hogs
of the country and while on that sub
ject stated:
I'm this connection / wish to- EN-
phasize the vital Importance of good
sanitation in stamping out tuberculosis
among the hogs. Government statistics
show that II per cent of the hogs ar,
tubeeular. This is wholly the result OF
bad sanitation, and here is where the
farmers can render service of the first
Importance. Farmers can stamp out
tuberculosis altogether if they will
make determined and concerted eff
fort to do it.
i have government reports in my
possession that show that the loss from
pad sanitation and from waste is great
or than the total cost to the government
OF the campaign against the foot an,
mouth disease in 1914.
Another point that | would like tt
emphasize is the saving of calves. TIL,
ik1iihng OF calf under present condi
uons is but little short of r'me. w
must conserve our food resources il
every way and for this reason ever,
eaif should be permitted to grow t.
maturity. Conservation and sanitation
are vital points in my estimation.

ROAD MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT
Highway Districts Probably Finance
North and South Road

A meeting of thirty some representa-
tives of Idaho Good Road Association
was held in this city last night at the
Commercial Club rooms, the meeting be-
ing in persuanee to call issued by
President VIM. Hussman of the county
association and for the purpose of meet
ing with Engineer Booth of the State
Highway Commission The matter of
providing some means of raising the
necessary county aid to assure the con
struction of the North and South High
way through Idaho county was taken
up and discussed. The opinion of
majority seemed to be the best way in
which to raise the money, which must
be available by July LIST, would be by
having the various highway districts
through which the road would pass
finance their proportion by voting dis
-trict bonds which plan will be followed
Grangeville, White Bird and Lake will
be the first districts probably to call
such an election and the others will
follow rapidly as the road reaches their
section. Another meeting will be held
this evening at which time details will
be worked out. Among those attending
last night and coming from distance
were Seth Jones and John Nevin of the
river section; J. V. Nash, Cashier
Bobinsen and VIM. Hussman of Cot
tonwood; Edward Blake, Kenterville,
Cashier Barbor and Editor Sasse of
Ferdinand, Senator Pettibone and the

WILL PRACTICE LAW.

Superintendent George w. Wads.
worth has announced that with the close
of the school year he will practice law
in Grangeville, the location of his of.
flces to be announced later. Prof.
Wadsworth was admitted to practice
last week, having submitted himself to
an examination by the supreme court
at Lewiston and being given very flat
tering credits. After having received
a B. A. degree from the State Univer-
sity of Iowa he attended the law school
OF. the University of Chicago,
which institution conferred upon him
the j. d. degree. The Chicago school
is one of the best law schools in the
country and has turned out some of the
brightest men in the legal profession.
Since residing in Grangeville Mr. and
Mrs. Wadsworth have made many warm
friends who will learn with pleasure of
their decision to remain with us and
are confident of his success in the law.
