FORD LANDS UPSIDE DOWN.

Oliver Reynolds had a miraculous es-
cape from instant death, Monday while
descending slight decline in the vici-
nifty of Deer creek. 1t appears his steer
ing apparatus went wrong just as he
was about to cross a creek, and the ear
began to reel about like drunken
sailor. Oliver quick as a falsh slapped
on the brake and made a jump landing
on the ledge of the bridge, while the ear
flopped over and landed upside down 10
feet below in the creek.
Mr.. Reynolds did not stop, but pro-
ceeded to the nearest telephone and
notified Joe Kuther to come at once and
take the hucklberrying party, he had
gone after, home. Besides Oliver was
too much interested in that big boy who
had arrived at his home that day, and
also was too busy shaking hands with
himself over his lucky accident, to pay
any particular attention to the dam
age of the car. In fact, the full damage
is not yet known.-Ferdinand Enter

TEAM RUNS oyER BICYcIE

Last Friday George Hardin who lives
on the east side of the prairie while
driving through main street had col
lision with young Leo Carpenter on his
bicycle. Mr.. Hardin was driving a
team of horses to a light buggy and
was coming from the cream station.
Just as he turned the corner at the
Scales Block, the Carpenter boy who
was coming the opposite direction ran
directly into Mr.. Hardin g horse and
consequently fell down so that the
buggy ran over him. The front wheel
ran directly across his head and in the
mele his arms were skinned up a bit.
The injury however was not serious and
the boy was taken home by Mr.. White
in his car. He declared that he was
more scared than hurt. Mr.. Hardin in
coming around the corner did not see
young Carpenter who rode right up un.
der the horse. The boy, it seems, was
inexperienced in bicycle riding and got
scared and turned his wheel the wrong
direction. Besides he had no coaster
brake and could not stop. Luckily the
rig in which Mr.. and Mrs. Hardin were
riding was light one and the boy es-
capped without great damage.

step upon the part of the state of Idaho
is one of the most significant in our his
tory. Every village, every community
in the state is called upon to furnish its
part of a democratic army for the pre-
servation of our institutions and our
ideals. ! therefore urge upon you TO
make this an occasion for an expression
of that honor and appreciation which
the selected men deserve at the hands
of their fellow citizens. l must ask
you as patriotic and loyal Americans to
cooperate with the different local organ
izations to celebrate the departure of
these men in manner befitting the high
and noble enterprise upon which they
are embarking. Every community must
handle this matter in a manner be fitting
itself. No established rules or regula-
tons can be promulgated.
With the sincere belief that your
community will not be behind hand in
this important matter, we leave it at
your hands.

OBITUARY.,

John Nevin was born in Ireland April
Is, 1871, and died in Whitebird, August
~, 1918. When he was seventeen wears
old he left his native country and came
to the U. s. He worked two wears in
Pennsylvania and one year in West
Virginia in the mines. In the spring
OF 1891 he came to Idaho county and
settled on Slate Creek where he worked
IN the mines. He also packed to the
mines and worked in Josh Folker's store
at Slate Creek. Then he spent two years
in Freidenrich store at Whitebird.
Since then he has acquired large in
terests in the well known Salmon River
Stores Co., Ltd. The stores being
located at Whitebird, Lucille and Rig
gins
On April Is, 1903, Mr.. Nevin married
Miss Jennie Nevin of Whitebird. To
this union there were born three chill
dren Annie, George and Homer, all of
whom survive him.
John as he was familiarly known to
almost every man in this section was a
friend to them all. He will be long rem
embered as man that was always
ready to help a friend in need. He was
a booster for the town and com
munity in which he lived and he will be
sadly missed by all. He was a member
of the Mason lodge.
Mr.. Nevin is survived by his mother,
sister Annie, and several brothers in
Ireland. He has two brothers in the
war, and one brother was RECENTLY
killed.
The funeral services were held from
the Methodist church Monday, at two
o. clock, Rev. j. S. Anderson, who was
an eye witness of the tragedy, preached
the sermon. Mr.. Anderson paid Mr..
Nevin some line tributes.
The floral tribute was very beautiful,
consisting of many lovely cut flowers
and ferns in the form of wreaths, sprays,
crosses and anchors. The Masonic en-
blem compass and square was uniquely
fashioned of flowers.
The funeral was one of the largest
ever held in Whitebird, after the ser
vices at the church the Masonic fra
ternity took charge of the body and a
very impressive service was held at the
grave. There were about thirty Masons
from Lewiston, Cottonwood and Grange
vile in attendance.

STORY OF THE POTATO.
AZ Food II Was at First Used Only
Fer Pigs and Cattle.

The question of where the potato is
Indigenous and where introduced by
man has never been strictly answered
IL seems sure, however, that the potato
Is native of the mountainous districts
of tropical and subtropical America,
from Chile to Mexico and even as far
north as the southern part Of Colorado.
Data concerning the known use of the
potato for food are not very definite.
II probably was first taken to Europe
from Peru by Spaniards early In the
sixteenth century and spread from
Spain to Holland, Burgundy and Italy,
though cultivated only as curiosity In
few gardens and little known or
thought of. In THE Complete Gar

As food 1t was first used for pigs
and cattle. Then. on account of Its
great yield, 1t was suggested that 1t
