Ed Jessup's new barn stands prac-
tically completed and is a valuable
addition to his fine farm.
All Of the old headers that were
discarded several years ago and which
were almost ready for the junk man
are being hauled out this season and
put to work, for they will cut and
save short grain when other machinery
cannot begin to handle it.

Peterson and G. B. Newell went to
White Bird Monday to attend the
funeral of John Nevin, which was con-
Quoted by the Masonic lodge of
Grangeville. They say the funeral
was one of the largest ever held in the
Salmon river country, people having
come for long distances by auto, team,
on horse back and on foot to attend
the sad rites.
A nice shower visited this section
Saturday evening and laid the dust to
some extent and cleared the atmos-
phere somewhat 1t was the first real
shower since ear y in June and not a
word would have been spoken against
it had the clouds opened up and turn
ed loose a veritable downpour on the
parched earth. However, we are
promised more rain the last of the
month and hope it may last longer
than the shower above mentioned.
One lone l. w. w. appeared in
Cottonwood this week as result of
the statewide strike called by that or
ganization on Monday and he did not
last long enough to even air his opin-
ion or grievances. He has been en-
ployed at the Vessels farm near
Greencreek but was discharged as
his identity was discovered. On reach
ing town he began airing his opinions
on the street but was at once stopped
by Constable Hamlin and, on becom-
ing somewhat sassy" was placed on
the morning train and told to beat it
for other climes, which he did.
James johnson, who recently lost
his farm home by fire, is erecting a
commodious house Of the bungalo type
and will soon have it ready to move
into. We cannot help but remark
how much more coy these new style
homes look on the farm, as we'll as in
the town or city, and it is a safe bet
they will result in better surrounding
conditions wherever built and more
pride in the home by the occupants
thereof. There is no reason why the
farmer cannot have things just as con-
venient and agreeable around him
these days as his brother in the city,
and at a great deal less cost, for he
does much of the labor himself while
the city man has to pay high priced
artisan to do the work.
The little 1-2-year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Powell was
brought out last Friday from Spring
Camp, the child having choked to
death the day before while eating
carrot. The little one was in the
garden with o. her children and start
ed running toward the house when it
fell with the carrot in its mouth and
became choked, dying about twenty
minutes later. The remains of the
little one were strapped to a board
and brought out TO this place on
pack horse by friends of the bereaved
parents. 1t was prepared here for
burial and then taken by w. A. Kel-
sey by auto beyond Peck where it was
buried on Saturday. The death OF
the little one was very sad and the
parents have the deep sympathy of
many friends in their loss.
