Band Concert Was a
Grand Success

The concert and entertainment
given by the Cottonwood band
Wednesday evening proved a
great success and an agreeable
surprise to the local public. The
hall was comfortably filled with
people who came out to hear the
band boys first efforts in the
entertainment line and all were
loud in praise Of the ability
shown and now realize that our
little city possesses much more
musical talent than many had be-
lieved. The work Of the orches-
ira, which had been organized
less than week, was particu-
larly good and elected rounds of
applause, while the violin solo by
DIR. Orr brought down the house.
The vocal selections by the male
quartet were also fine and the
boys came in for repeated en-
cores. They are showing marked
ability in the vocal line and we
predict great success for some of
them in future years if they con-
tinue their instruction. The con-
cert closed with a number of Sc
lections by the full band and,
when we remember that the
band has been practicing less
than six months and suffered q
serious back-set through losing
several members who enlisted in
the Idaho national guard last
spring, the boys must be con-
graduated on the progress they
have made. They are now play
ing some pretty difficult music
for beginners and at the present
rate of progress will soon be able
to hold their own creditably with
most organizations of the kind in
this part of the state.

Standpoint, May %. Sheriff
Remer has two Hudson SUPER
skies in the sheriff's yard which
will probably be sold to the high
est bidder as a result of a haul at
the ferry at CIarksfork shortly
before midnight Wednesday when
Constable Dougherty, lying in
wait for some Montana horse
stealers, took the two automO-
biles and four men into custody
for transporting booze. Forty
cases of Sunnybrook whiskey
were in the two automobiles.
Two of the men got away from
the constable and his assistants
who had been deputized to assist
him in his midnight vigil. The
autos were the property of SpO-
kane parties.

Cottonwood Has
New Orchestra

Cottonwood is soon to have a
cracker-jack five to ten piece
orchestra unless something hap
pens to deprive us of one of the
most important musicians. The
members got together Saturday
evening for the first time at Nau's
Furniture store and again on Sun
day put in several hours trying
out some new music and from
the way they were able to pro-
duce music we predict that they
will in a short time be able to
give cards and spades to any SIM
liar organization on top of the
hill and win out by several laps.
Those composing the orchestra
thus far and the instruments
played are as follows: Violin,
Fred Oenning; first cornet, G. E.
MacCarter; trombone, ]. B. HIATT
rup; second cornet, Harold Si-
mon; piano, Anna Peterson. 1t
is probable that DR.. Orr, violin
ist, will join; it is also planned
to add a saxaphone, clarinets and
drums to the organization, and as
most of the proposed members
are musicians of many years ex-
perience it will not be difficult to
create one of the best musical or
ganizations ever maintained in
this portion of the state.
The new orchestra made its
first public appearance at the
concert given by the band Wed
nesday evening and made a de-
cided hit with the local public.
While Mr.. Oenning has not yet
decided to locate here permanent
ly it is hoped that he may secure
suitable employment to enable
him to call Cottonwood his future
home and remain with the or
chestra, as he has played the
violin for years and is an accom-
plished orchestra leader.

troll Of the e. H. Stanton COM
pany, operating a meat packing
plant in east Spokane, has be, n
purchased by Armour & Co., Of
Chicago.
The officials did not state tho
consideration, although it is un-
derstood the Armour interests

approximately 80 per cent. The
actual money transactions which
includes name, goodwill and an
increased stock value has not
been made public.
The company Is capitalized at
$600;000, there being Z. COO shares

Stock raisers and cattlenleh

great deal Of interest, and are
almost a unit in considering en-
trance Of the Armour interests
Unto the field as an asset to the

Z
growers point out that their
Worldwide distributing system
and sales organization will stabil-
ize local markets.
William A. HuntIey, vice pres
ident of the Exchange National
bank, and himself a stock raiser,
sees in the acquisition Of the
plant by the Armour interest a
new policy in the stock market
ing business.
''Mr. Stanton could never get
interested In the policy of having
stock shipped to the yards here, .
he said, land put on the open
market. He always wanted it
sent to Stanton & Co. Al change
in this policy, and the creation Of
q great open stock market here
lis one of the logical sequences Of
the Armour's entrance into this
field. 1t will be a very great
Ilthing for the grower"

dent of the Armour rcompanywho

Burglars Busy at GrangeviIIe

Grangeville, May 26.-Four
burglaries in the business district
netting a trifle over $40, were
discovered this morning when
the establishments were opened
for business. Entrance to each
building was effected through the
rear and the officers are confident
the four jobs were done by the
same person or persons. The
view is held that local parties are
responsible for the burglaries
and that they swere. committed
after the night policeman went
off duty at 3 o'clock this morn
ing.
A sum of $12 was secured from
the pool room conducted by Edg-
ington brothers. The money Sc
cured was in small change. The
Miller Implement store was en-
tered and So was secured from
the cash register and a revolver
and two flashlights were taken
from the stock. Days barber
shop was entered and SIS in cash
was secured from the till, while
the City meat market furnished
55 cents to the burglars.

HIGH WATER
DOES DAMAGE
Bridges On Clearwater Go
Out and Kooskia, Sites and
White Bird Suffer From the
FloOdS--Two Girls Drown.

The heavy storm of last Mon
day put all the streams of central
Idaho on the rampage and the
h gh water did great damage to
several towns located near the
streams in this county. At White
Bird the creek got out of its banks
that afternoon and washed away
three dwellings and two ware
houses and badly damaged the
new concrete block school house,
which had the foundation under
mined and one wing collapsed.
The houses washed away belong
ed to Frank Freeman and Jake
Crooks and the McEvars home
was set on fire and burned to the
grf und. The creek got out of its
banks and cut a new channel
down the main street, damaging
the town severely, and the water
got into several of the stores and
other business houses, doing ma
terial damage. At one time it
was reported that the town had
been entirely swept away but
this proved to be a false rumor.
Along the Clearwater the storm
did further damage. The warm
rain melted much of the snow in
the low mountains, causing the
stream tolrise rapidly, and the
bridges at Sites and Kooskia
were washed away Tuesday after
noon, as was also the smaller
structure at Harpster. Several
small bridges along the South
Fork were carried away by high
water a few weeks ago and this
latest freshet leaves all the coun-
try south of Kamiah isolated from
the rest of the county. The Sites
bridge was carried down stream
but the Kooskia bridge, which
was, a new structure, grounded
between that place and Kamiah.
1t was feared for time that the
wagon and railroad bridges at
Kamiah would be carried out but
they were saved by hard work
on the part of citizens of that
town.
At Sites the stream entered
the town and flooded several resi-
dences, doing considerable dam
age, while at Kooskia water was
several feet deep in the streets
and sevaral houses with their
contents were washed away. At
this place the South Fork and
Middle Fork join just below town
and the back water from the two
streams soon put the entire town
under water. The damage there
is estimated at fully $4,000 and
may amount to much more than
this figure when the water re-
cedes and the full damage can be
determined. Many small farms
along the river and tributary
streams were badly damaged by
the freshet and many buildings
and small bridges washed away
and at least one team and several
single horses were seen going
down stream Tuesday and Wed
nesday.
At Lewiston two little girls,
daughters of Calvin Boyer, fell
into the river while playing at
the waters edge and were car
ried beneath the surface almost
before their father, who was at
work nearby, had heard their
cry of alarm. The bodies have
not yet been recovered.
The streams are now receding
somewhat but with warm wealth.
er at hand and the mountains
still full of snow it is expected
the water will reach another
high mark during the present
month and perhaps exceed all
racorda in recent wears.
