CHANGE ELECTRIC
TRANSFORMERS
Increase of Business at This
Place Causes Power Com
pany to Move Larger Trans
, formers Here.

Another change showing the
marked advance of industry in
Cottonwood was made the first
of the week when the generators
from the local electric power sta
ton were taken to Grangeville
and exchanged for a set of larger
generators at that place, it being
explained that the larger set was
needed in Cottonwood on account
of the increased business at this
point while the smaller gener-
ators would handle the Grange
vile business nicely.
The two large -four mills and
elevators, the creamery and the
Hussman planning mill. besides
several smaller concerns, are
using so much electric current
that it has been a serious problem
for the power company to give
anywhere near adequate service
here of late and this made the
above change imperative.
The generators were exchang-
led Sunday while the power was
shut off, the transfer being made
with the large auto trucks, and
the drivers chaffed those at the
county seat rather strong about
the growth Of business in the
west side metropolis, stating that
the next move would take Grange
ville's post Office and leave that
town on a rural route, and that
Fat" Hamlin would be over
bright andtearE Monday morning
with his truck to move the court
house back to Cottonwood,
All jokes aside, however, busi-
ness of all kinds is steadily grow
ing here and Cottonwood can
well lay claim to being one Of the
best towns on top of the hill.

Arrested on a Serious Chars

The latest and most diaboliC
plot to destroy human lives was
shown up last week, when
travelling faker peddling an H.
nocent looking court plaster was
arrested over at Henderson.
When searched at the police
station, over $1,000 was found
on his person and this made
officers more suspicious thar
first, and it was decided to full
investigate, and a sample Of this
court plaster was sent to a chem
ist at Council Bluffs, and when
analysed, was found to contain
large quantities of leprosy germs,
the most malignant and incurabIe
disease in the world.
The aforesaid peddIer was a
German and hardly able to speak
the English language, and ap-
peared Indifferent to the conse-
quences when found out. Just

LABOR TROUBLES
STILL UNSETTLED
Governor Alexander Now in
the North and Believes Eo-
cal Officers Can Handle Sit
uation-.-Tdlk With Lister.

The labor situation in the lum-
Der camps in north Idaho is still
unsettled and from present indi-
cations may remain so for some
days at least. The state board
of defense held a meeting the
first Of the week at Occur d'Alene
and went into the situation quite
thoroughly, questioning both the
mill owners, gemployes and |. W.
w. leaders, with the result that
the board reached a unanimous
decision to call on the governor
fer state aid in handling the sit
uation.
The governor then appeared
on the scene Of action in person
aud a second investigation was
held, covering much the same
ground as the first inquiry, with
the final result that the chief ex-
ecutive disagreed with the board
of defense as the action to be
taken at this time and stated that
when it became certain that the
sheriffs of the various counties
affected, with their deputies,
could not control the situation
then the state would provide fed
eral troops. The sheriffs claim
the situation has gone beyond
their control and the board of de-
tense is reported to have finally
voted to ask the United States
government for troops, over the
governors objection.
A meeting of the sheriffs of all
the northern counties has been
called at::Moscow for tomorrow to
consider the situation and if it is
the decision of this meeting that
the officers cannot control the |.
w. W. s and prevent damage to
property it is believed the gov
ernor will then call for federal
troops.
LATER. Alexander,
after visiting several |. W. w.
camps in northern Idaho, has
called a meeting of the. sheriff 8
of north Idaho at Occur d'Alene
tomorrow and will then consider
the question of whether or not
the officers can control the strike
situation in the northern counties.
The governor has also asked for
a conference with Governor List
er, of Washington, to consider
the |. w. w. menace in the two
states and claims Spokane is the
seat nf all troubles from this
source in north Idaho. The gov
ernor visited camps of the strik-
ers at Spirit Lake, Rathdrum and
Harrison and found but a few
men at each place and most of
them foreigners. 1t is believed
prompt action on the part of
county officers will control the
strikers and agitators at all times
and that there will be no need
for calling out federal troops.
The governor holds that the state
- Scil of defense is not the prop
@er body to ask for federal aid and
that the council has not present
ed any formal resolution to this
