NOTES ON TEACHERS MEETING
Miss Sweet Contributes on Closing Days
of Joint Institute.

The following notes on the closing
sessions of the joint teachers institute
held i'll Grangeville last week were con
tributed by Miss Margaret sweet,
county superintendent of schools:
The program for Thursday and Fri
day was of the same excellence as that
of the earlier part of the week. The
special music for Thursday was fur
nished by Miss Woesner and Miss Kios-
ness, both of Nezperce. The enthu-
siastic audience demanded eneores from
both. Everyone was delighted by the
violin numbers given by Dale Fulton.
His tones are remarkable in their
quality and appealed to all
Mr.. Evans, in THE Dance of Life, -
gave the teachers much to help them get
the right spirit of living.
|. C. Hattabaugh of Lewiston, enter
tanned the institute audience for more
than an hour telling stories of pioneer
life in Idaho. Mr.. Hattabaugh has
these stories and jokes first hand and
laughter and serious silence were both
characteristic of the hour. The close
attention of the teachers was a real
compliment to the speaker.
| take this opportunity to thank the
pNoI'lt VI VI lllt III 81
helping to entertain the visiting teach
ers during the week of institute. About
twenty-five rooms which were listed
were not needed and | also wish to
thank the owners of those for their
cooperation in planning accommoda-
tions. Margaret Sweet, county super
intendent.
The state superintendent, public in
srtuction for Idaho, Miss Ethel F. Red
field, spent Friday with the teachers at
institute. She talked of the new educa-
tional laws of our nation and of the res
possibilities the war is placing upon
teac hers and school officials every.
where. Miss Redfield is decidedly OPP
timistic and her talk was a happy end
ing for the week S program.
Miss Taylor and Miss Kelly gave on
Thursday afternoon a demonstration on
canning. The talk about jars and rub
bers was especially opportune. Miss
Taylor will have charge of club work
in northern Idaho and will return to
Grangeville some time during the
winter.

LOOKS Up RECORD
OF |DAHOANS WHO
BATTLED INDIANS
GOVERNMENT EAGER TO LEARN
NAMES OF MEN ENTITLED TO
PENSIONS FOR SERVICE.
EXAMINER IS BUSY IN BOISE
Veterans of Fight With Red Men in
1877 and Bannock Clash in 1878 Are
Entitled to Cash From U. s.

Many old-time residents of the
Camas Prairie country who participated
in the Nez Perez Indian war of 1877
and the Bannock war of 1873 as volun-
teers will be pleased to know that the
government is now actively engaged in
securing records dealing with the ser
vices rendered by these volunteers so
that they may benefit by the pension
act which became a law in March last.
The latest development in connec-
ton with the steps taken by the pen
SION department relative to the act is
contained in the following information
received from Boise:
For the past two weeks NJ NJ.
Brewer, special examiner for the pen
sion department of the federal gov
ernment, has been quietly inspecting
the records of the adjutant general 8
department to ascertain the number of
living veterans of the Nez Perez In
dian war of 1877 and the Bannock In
dian war in 1873 both of which were
bloody affairs and cost the lives of
many of the pioneer settlers of Idaho
as well as many more of the two Indian
tribes involved
The purpose of this inspection is
to see that the veterans of these wars
receive the benefit of the act of March
I, 1917, passed by congress, by the
terms of which they receive pensions
for their services to the country. Any
information leading to the whereabouts
of these veterans, their services, rela-
tives, documents they may have show
ing enlistment and service will be APP
preciated by the special examiner and
may be delivered to him in person or
by mail to the adiutant general 8
department at the statehouse where he
is now making his temporary headquar-
teTSn
engaged in these wars besides a number
of independent companies. Many of
the veterans of the men who enlisted
and faced the brutal Indians in those
days survived the wars and are still
alive. The records of the adjutant
general s office show this to be fact
The records of many of the veterans
still living are possibly not contained
i'll the records of the adjutant general
and information may be secured from
other sources
I" would he very glad to get any
authentic information with regard to
these veterans, said Examiner Brewer,
discussing his work. 1t is possible that
some people have papers and records
that may be of value to me in my inves-
tigation and if that is the case they may
consult me or forward them. We want
to find all of the living veterans. ="
