Big Trade for Baltimore.

Representatives of railroad compa-
nies and others interested in the ques-
tion this morning estimated that at
least 10000 residents of this city
would go 10 Baltimore today TO get
eleventh hour supplies of liquid re-
freshmentS- Because of the holiday
and the departments and many busi-
ness houses being closed. 1t was
stated, the number of persons maxim g
such pilgrimages would be several
times greater than it otherwise would
have been.
Yesterday the suit case brigade was
much larger than on any day during
the past several weeks. the police say,
much larger than when the bootleg
specials were run by the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis railway.
Hundreds of persons carrying suit
cases were in evidence at Union sta
ton and along the line of the electric
road this morning. Yesterday in Bal
timore the rush started early in the
morning and lasted all day, and, it
is stated, there were some Washing
tonians left on the outside of liquor

Pay Day Brings Opportunity.

Hundreds Of persons who went TO
Baltimore the past few days. il is
stated, were those receiving their nav
on the 18th of the month. and Mon
day many will go who will receive
their pay this evening. Reports from
Baltimore are to the effect that there
have been increased sales following
each pay day in this city.
1t is probable that Maj. Pullman,
superintendent of police, viii call his
inspectors. captains and lieutenants
together in the near future to dis
cuss the question of enforcing the
Reed bone dry amendment. When
the conference is held the question of
the methods to be employed will be

Bargain Hunters Disappointed.

Many bargain counter hunters from
this city were disappointed when they
reached the Monumental city today.
It was the opinion of many OF the
eleventh-hour pilgrims that bargain
prices on staple goods would be Of
fered, but they were doomed TO dis
appointment. Prices were about what
they were last week, it is reported,
except that on a few of the favorite
brands slight increases were noted.
Especially was such the case with
goods bottled in bond.
Some of the bootleggers already
have increased their price to sS Sit is
stated, and do not seem anxious to
sell at that price. 1t is suspected
that some of them adulterate what
they purchase in Baltimore, adding a
mixture which enables them to in
crease two quarts to at least one
third more, making their profits enor-
nous.
Anticipating continuance of the
large number of sales Of liuuor to
residents of this city, it is stated.
Baltimore dealers found it necessary
to increase the number of statesmen
in their esta biishments, and at whole
sale places throughout the city all
the clerks today are being kent busy.

ARMY FOOD SOLD.

Army food valued at $195. u
has been sold by Postmaster
Nash since the same has beer
placed on the market through
the postoffice department. Sew
eral of the items have been sold
out, and many more would per-
haps be sold was it not for the
fact that the government does
not break case lots and parties
wishing this food must buy them
in case lots. These cases in most
instances contain more than the
average family wishes to buy,
Some of the goods, where Mr..
Nash has been able to get sew
eral parties to make up a case
have been sold by the local post
master. The items sold out ar
as follows: String beans, corn
peas and rice. Goods that still
can be bought is as follows
Bacon, tomatoes, baked beans
roast beef, corn beef, flour.

FINE SAMPLE OF GRASS.

A. Duman brought into the
Chronicle office this week. a fine
sample of Sudan grass that he
mad planted OF his place early
this summer, The grass il; a
native of Africa and is especially
adapted to dry weather and is
raised quite extensively for feed
ing in Colorado and other states.
The sample brought to the Chro-
nicle measured just exactly A
feet and 9 inches from the root
and less than three weeks ago
the grasshopper eat it off near
the roots, the grass having
grown 4 feet and 9 inches in the
last three weeks. When the
hoppers severed the grass near
the roots Mr.. Duman expected
no yield from his 18th of al
acre which he had planted but
in the last three weeks it has
grown with great speed and il
now ready for cutting.

LOW WATER THE CAUSE.

The electric power and lights,
which have not been the best for
the past two weeks is due to the
shortage of water at the light
plant on the Clearwater river.
The Grangeville Electric Light
& Power Company last summer
constructed a dam that cost in
the neighborhood of $4,000,
thereby expecting to be free
from future trouble to a great
extent when the new dam was
completed, is this year confront
ed with new problem. The
trouble at the present time is a
new one to the company, which
few people expected could ever
occur, but owning to the dry sea-
son there is not enough water in
the river to properly run the
plant on the Clearwater. The
river at this time is the lowest
ever known to old timers and in
many places the river can be
easily crossed without getting
ones shoes wet.
The trouble, at the present
time is perhaps regretted more
by the power company officials
then by the user themselves for
if there is anyone that likes to
see good lights and power any
better than the officials and en-
ployes of the company we do not
know it could be.
The present situation will
have to be borne patiently by the
consumers as we'll as the owners,
as a good rain seems to be the
only relief. This is not the only
section that has been bothered
with poor lights and power many
large cities have also been hav-
ing their troubles.

CHANGE SCHEDULE

There Will be a change IN the
arrival of the afternoon train
from Spokane and the departure
of the afternoon train for
Grangeville when the new rail-
road time card becomes effect
i've next Sunday, says the Lew
iston Tribune.
The afternoon train now ar
rives from Spokane at 2:30 and
beginning with Sunday this
train will arrive at 2:5O o'clock.
The Grangeville train now de-
parts at $3.50 o'clock and begin
ming with next Sunday the train
will depart at 2 o'clock.
At the present time the bag
gage and mail are transferred
from the Spokane to the Grange
vile train at the Lewiston sta
ton and the passenger are un-
loaded at North Lapwai to await
the arrival of the Grangeville
train from Lewiston. When
the change is effected the tran
sfer of passengers, mail and ex-
press will be made at North
Lapwai from one train to the
other and there will be no wait
ing.
The change in the time of the
departure of the Grangeville
train will break the connection
with the afternoon train from
Riparia which brings the pas
sengers and mail from south
Idaho. Under the present sched-
ule the train from Riparia ar
rives five minutes before the
time of the departure of the
Grangeville train but there has
been so little passenger traffic
to go beyond Lewiston that it
has been deemed inadvisable tC
hold the Grangeville train here
an hour and a half to the detri-
ment of the heavy travel from
Lewiston and the Palouse line.

WORKING ON KING STREET

Contractor J. B. McCulley, put
his men and equipment to work
this week on King street near
the Riley Rice home, and intends
to work down King street to
Main street. This street will
be a part of the North and South
highway, over which all travel
will go, leading out of town on
the new proposed highway.
The hill, near the Fred Lange
property will be completely ex-
cavated and the sidewalks which
are now on the side hills will be
put on the street grade level.
After this road has been grad
ed it will be paved up to the DR..
Orr corner and from there will
be macadamized to the outskirts

WANT $779,75S
To BUILD ROAD
SEATTLE MEN LOWEST BID
DERS ON 31H MILE SEC
TION N. & S. HIGHWAY

Bids were opened last Friday
at Boise by the department OF
public works on the construction
of 3115 miles of road on the
North and South highway says
the Boise Statesman between
New Meadows and Whitebird.
Grant Smith & Co., big rail-
road contractors of Seattle, Of
fered to build the road for $780,
758.44. Three other bids sub
mitted were much higher.
A contract has not been award
ed for the work. There is
$68O,OOO available for that par
ticular piece of construction and
the cost will have to be whitfield
down to meet the appropriation.
That probably will be done by
eliminating some miles of the
road which it was planned to
build at this time.
The road on which the depart
ment of public works expects to
spend the $680,000 is recognized
as the worst piece of highway in
Idaho. 1t is part of the state
road being built through the Lit
tie Salmon river canyon between
New Meadows and Whitebird to
connect north and south Idaho.
The project on which the con-
tractors bid Friday is made up
of several particularly bad
stretches of highway. A. l..
Kahl, bridge engineer with the
highway department, says it Is
the poorest road in the world in
it's present condition. In addi-
ton, there is 35 miles of road be-
tween New Meadows and White
bird on which bids cannot be re-
ceived and a contract let until af-
ter the legislature makes anoth-
er appropriation for that pur-
pose two years hence. That piece
of highway is not as rough as
the section on which bids were
opened Friday, but it is almost
impossible at it's best.
Contractors other than Grant
Smith & Co. who submitted bids
Friday and their bids were: c.
A. Bicknell, Boise, $890,314.98
H. H. Boomer, Spokane, 1,149,-
289.99, and Potter & Connolly,
Portland, 81, 1,158,871.88.

PRESIDENT LOSES VETO.

Repeal of the daylight saving
act was accomplished last week,
the senate voting to sustain the
house in passing the repeal mea-
sure over President Wilson's
veto. The vote was 81 to 10.
The repeal of the law becomes
effective after the clocks are
turned back to normal in Octo-
ber. 1t is one of the very few
measures which have twice been
vetoed by a president and have
become laws in spite of the veto.

HOME COMING
CELEBRATION
WANT ALL BOYS HOME BE-
FORE THE EVENT is
STAGED

The "Home Coming Celebra-
ton" which is to be put on under
the auspices of the Red Cross, in
honor of all soldiers and sailors
as was announced in last weeks
issue of the Chronicle will be
held some time in September,
the exact date Of which has not
yet been decided upon on account
Ut all the boys not being home
from services overseas. At a
meeting of the committee in
charge of the affair, it was de-
cided to postpone the celebra-
tion until all the boys have ar
rived home, which is expected
within a very short time. At
the present time only two boys
from Cottonwood have not yet
been discharged, these being
7, ul Terhaar and John Bies. AS
soon as they arrive the celebra-
tion will take place in honor OF
all soldiers and sailors in the
county and a general invitation
is extended to them to attend.
Everything on this date will
be free to everyone. The Red
Cross ladies will serve a big
lunch at noon in canteen fashion
whicn will consists of sandwich
es, doughnuts, pie, coffee and
etc.
There will also be a large num-
ber Of amusements staged in the
afternoon under the auspices of
the returned soldiers and sailors
and already arrangements are
under way to make this one of
the most enjoyable features Of
the days program.
The comittee is now negotiat-
ing for the services Of some
band on this date. 1t is the wish
of those in charge to have the
band present all day. The fam
Gus Cowboy band was given the
first opportunity to provide
music on this date, owing to
the band not being able to be
present in the day time some
other organization may be en-
ployed but it is to be hoped that
the Grangeville boys can be in
duced to play here all day which
will be done if possible.
In the evening a pavement
dance will be held on Main street
to which everyone, young a"d
old are invited to participate.
This will be the first pavement
dance to take place in this sec
tion OF the country and large
crowd is expected from all parts
of the prairie.
The people who have charge
Of this affair are getting every
thing in readiness so that the
celebration may be put on in g
short time and as soon as he re.
mainder of the boys arrive the
exact date of the event will be
given out to the public.
Remember - everything il
free even the eats so get ready
attend the affair and show the
boys you are glad they are back
home with us again. A large
number of the boys, who have
seen active service in France arr
taking keen interest in the com
ing event and are doing every
thing in their power to hell
make the affair grand success
as they wish to have all of theil
comrads present, as we'll as thei
friends, who live in other sec
tions of the county, whom the.
have not had the opportunit.
to meet since returning fron
overseas, but expect to NEE
