FARMERS PUT Up
MONEY FOR TWO
ELEVATORS
APPROXIMATELY $4,000 AVAIL
ABLE-sUBsCRIBE LITERALLY
AT SATURDAY MEETING
PETITIONS ARE CIRCULATED
Men VIII Be Asked to Renew Pledge
Of Last Year-Big Scarcity
in Grain Sacks.

Building of two elevators, one at
Grangeville and the other at Fem, by
the Farmers Union Warehouse & Sup
ply Co., is practically assured as the
result of "a meeting held in the Odd
Fellows hall here Saturday afternoon
1T is planned to build the elevators next
spring, so that they will be ready for
the 1918 grain crop.
Farmers Pledge $4,000.
The meeting Saturday was largely
attended, and much enthusiasm over the
project was shown. Approximately $4,000
was subscribed by the farmers present
toward the cost of the elevators, these
subscriptions being in addition to sub
scriptions totaling $l7, 900, and made a
year ago. The farmers attendance
at the meeting Saturday agreed that
their pledges Of a year ago would be
kept, and many increased their pledges.
Petitions were prepared for circula-
ton among the farmers of the Grange
vile and Fem sections, to procure guar
antees that the old subscriptions would
be filled. Also, efforts are being made
to raise more money among the farmers.
Cost of Sacks Prohibitive
Necessity for elevators through which
to handle the grain crop of Camas
Prairie has arisen because of the high
cost and scarcity Of sacks, heretofore
used for marketing the grain. The
waehouse method, it is agreed, will
have many disadvantages the coming
season, because of the sack scarcity.
When work on the two elevators viii
begin, has not been determined. De-
tails rest with the committee which will
have charge of the construction work

How Towns Lined UP


There were a number Of other
points on the prairie, said Mr.. Brown,
where no organization exists, but
through the efforts of local volunteers
good results were obtained. About
thrity-five members were secured in the
Columbus school district through the
efforts of Miss Westminster, the local
teacher, and n. b. Pettibone. About
the same results were sent in from the
Fairviewdistrict by Miss Callan, who
teaches the school there, and over forty
from the Winona district, and an adj
ditional donation of $50, obtained by
the sale of fruit cake there, Wood
land sent in a number of applications
secured by Mrs Gallaher of that place.
All of these membership certificates
were issued through the Grangeville
auxiliary and turned in to me as part Of
the receipts. On behalf of the state
and county committees, ] wish to extend
thanks to all who have assisted in the

Drive for Armenian Relief.

cash donations already have been re
eeived. The campaign will be extended

ASK COACH TO RESIGN.
Pipal Is Requested to Quit Oregon
Aggies Football

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 6.-Joseph A.
Pipal may not return as coach at
Oregon Agricultural College next sea-
son.
For some time 1t has been known
that all is not harmonious in athletic
circles at Corvallis, and It has de-
veloped that letter to Pipal from the
board Of control, consisting of three
faculty and FIVE student representa-
tives, practically demands his res
ignation. The action will come as a
surprise to the public, particularly in
view of the victory scored by Cor
vauis this year over the University of
Oregon.
The ultimatum reached the ceach
in the form of letter signed by the
board Of control, stating the views of
the varsity 90" club and comment of
some members OF the alumni

KNAPP IN LINE
TO LEAD INTS
International Leagues Fate
Still Hangs in a
Balance.

Baltimore, Nd. Jan. 6.-The meet
ing of the commission this week will
probably have little or no effect upon
the fate of the International League.
The majors may get together and
tell how vital 1t Is for the circuit to
keep going and that II should be given
every encouragement. but that will
about let out their efforts. They have
stood idly by for a long while now
and there Is no occasion for expect
ing them to step up and do anything
where It will cost one penny. It's not
In their blood
The fate OF the International con
tinues to get considerable attention
throughout the land. The feeling Is
more or less general that the organi-
zation will start next season. Talk
that the organization will suspend
can scarcely be heard. even In the
towns which did all the croaking be-
fore the December session Of the
league. Various folks are being
named as probable successors to Ed
Barrow. but it would not be a bad bet
to say that the man who will succeed
to the Job has not as yet been men
toned, and this includes Pat Powers,
Jim Price, Charley Chaplin. Joe Ian
min. and last but not least. Charles
II. Knapp. of Baltimore.
Hearken unto the following choice
bit by a Buffalo scribe:
Jack Dunn. of Baltimore. who
cast his vote against Barrow at the
recent meeting. also has a candi-
date for president OF the league.
Dunn thinks that Charles II. Knapp.
a lawyer. who is interested in the
Baltimore team. would make an
ideal man for the job. Knapp. who
has a large legal practice. couldn't
be expected to give up his law bus
mess for s2.500. the salary fixed for
the International League head. and
unless the headquarters of the or
ganization Is moved to Baltimore
the selection of Knapp would be
out of the question. Therein lies
the secret of Dunn's desire to see
Knapp made president.
