CHRISTMAS BUSINESS

The Christmas shopping season,

of their Christmas business and

it having been in excess of that
anticipated.
Of course the Christmas trade

visit with his mother, Mrs. Jones Hand

years, derived much pleasure from re-

Buffalo Bill ranch of 900 acres at Cody,
and is operating the place. The brothers
also operate another ranch in the Cody

EXTEND RED CROSS DRIVE
County Needs 300 More Members Be.
fore January l.

The drive for membership in the Red
Cross in Idaho county has been ex-
tended until December 81 when it is
hoped to complete the county's quota
o. 1850 new members
The campaign has been conducted
for the last several weeks, and was to
have ended Christmas eve, but because
300 more members were needed to fill
the allotment, the time was extended
until the first of the new year.
Grangeville and the various outlying
sections have responded literally in the
campaign for members, but the allot-
ment was large, and the task of complet-
ing it is big one. Not discouraged
when the entire number was not raised
by Christmas eve, the forces interested
in the work here again set out to boost
the number of new members to 1850, or
more.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Because of greatly increased cost of
white paper, inks, and all materials
used in a newspaper office, the Idaho
County Free Press, beginning January
!, finds it necessary to make "A change
in its advertising rates.
Hereafter display advertising will be
Is cents a column inch ON a monthly
basis--that is for the regular adver-
tising patron who uses space regularly
for month or more. For transient
advertising, and advertisements insert
ed on other than monthly basis, the
charge will be 20 cents column inch.
Regular advertisers, however, should
not interpret the foregoing restrictions
to mean that they cannot change their
copy as often as they like, though their
advertising may be on a monthly basis.
Weekly changes will be made, on re-
quest.
Local advertising hereafter will be
10 cents a line, each insertion, with no
advertisement less than 25 cents.
The change is made because of the in
creased cost of materials, and the
heavy expense incident to caring for a
large circulation. 1t is hoped the
change win be accepted by patrons in
the true spirit of helpfulness in an
emergency, which surely would arise un-
der the old order of affairs.

Grangeville will have fast race to
win if it gets one of the four militia
companies to be organized in Idaho to
take the place of the national guards
men, now in the federal service in

plications made to Governor Alexander

raised in the state from men not subject
to draft, and the ballalion is to be
divided into four companies of 100
men each, to be under state control,
and subject to guard duty in any part

SPRUCE BELIEVED SUITABLE FOR

MAN INTERESTED
w. e. Swatman Here Conferrlpg With
Timber officials-Plans Portable
Sawmin.

Idaho county timber will be used to
make airplanes for the American and
allied air fleets on the western battle
front in Europe, if plans of w. h.
Swatman, of Ferdinand, materialize.
Mr.. Swatman was in Grangeville this
week comforting with state and federal
officials regarding the acquisition of
spruce lying on the divide between the
Salmon and Clearwater rivers. The
spruce is found both on the national
forest and on state timber. 1t is es-
pecially desirable for airplane construc-
tion.
For Portable Sawmin.
Mr.. Swatman 5 tentative plans call
for the placing of portable sawmill in
the timbered areas to cut the spruce in
the desired form for transportation to
Grangeville and thence to Puget Sound
cities, where it would be utilized for
airplane construction.
One question phzzling Mr.. Swatman,
and which must be settled before he
reaches definite conclusion on install
lation of the sawmill, is whether the
available spruce is big, enough for use
in airplanes. The spruce timber on the
state and federal lands runs in diameter
from l6 to 20 inches Mr.. Swatman
now is Investigating in detail the re.
quirements of airplane manufacturers
Spruce suitable for airplane building is
said to be worth not less than I$l06 a

proximately four miles south of Grange,
Vile. 1t is downhill pull practically

While in Grangeville, Mr.. Swatman
was in conference with A. f. Parker
state tiHber appraiser, and Charles IL
McHarg jr., superintendent of the Me-
Perce National forest. They were much
interested in Mr.. Swatman s proposal.
