FOR "BORDER DAYS"

The Grangeville Border Days
celebration which was inaugur-
ated some six or seven years ago
mostly through the efforts Of H.
G. Denny better known as doc"
and which held several good
celebrations years ago will again
Re revived at Grangeville on q
bigger scale than ever. A sub
scription of $500 was made by
Grangeville citizens to finance
the celebration and the dates
chosen were September 10, II
and II.
George Behean, one of the
best known stockmen in Idaho,
was chosen president of the OF
ganization and Tim Quinlan,
former deputy sheriff was elect
ed secretary. "Red" Harris was
name publicity manager and
without a doubt Border Days"
will receive its share of publicity,
as Mr.. Harris has mighty few
equals along this line of work
and if our opinion is to be taken
we consider him one of the best
in the entire northwest.
Already the management is
busy securing attractions. Wild
west stunts will be featured but
there will be many other lines OF
entertainment as well, including
airplane flights. One day vii
be designated as Elks Day wher
Ia special invitation will be eX'
tended to the Lewiston and Mos
COW Elks to attend.

WILL OPEN
SEPTEMBER 8
HOPE TO HAVE A SUCCESS
Full YEAR-TEACHERS
HAVE SINGED UP

The Cottonwood public schools
will open their term for 1919
1920 on September 9Th. The
school board, with the assistance
of Superintendent Lustie have
selected a very capable force of
teachers, all positions having
been filled but that of the third
and fourth grade teacher.
Teachers have been very scarce
and hard to obtain and at one
time every position was filled
but when the contracts were
sent to be filled in they have de-
clined to accept the positions due
perhaps to higher wages paid
somewhere else. AS one mem
Der of the board stated: eve
have hired enough teacher to
run a school three times the size
Of Cottonwood"
The teachers who have signed
contracts and who will be with
us this year are the following:
w. A. Lustie, superintendent.
J. V. Harmon, New York, prin-
cipal of the high school.
Miss Helen Sully, Seattle, high
school.
Miss Harriet Hanson, Grange
vile, domestic science.
Miss Lourena Rawson, Lewis
ton, 7th and 9Th grades.
Miss Jessie Wardrobe, Gene
see, 5th and 9th grades.
Miss Daisy Hollan, South Da-
kota, primary grades.
1t is the hope Of the school
board, as well as everyone else
that the school year this term
will not be interrupted as was
the case last year on account OF
influenza during which time the
school was closed for severa
weeks. After the re-opening O.
the school after the flu epidemic
school work had to be rushed by
both the teachers and pupils anC
proved to be a great injustice t
both.

FIRES CAN BE SEEN.

Forest fires, which have been
raging fiercely in the Selway
and Nezperce National forests
can be clearly seen from almost
any point on the prairie. In the
day time, large volumes of
smoke can be seen rising to the
skies, at night the flames can
be seen shooting their light to-
wards the heavens. The one,
most noticeable, the first of the
week, was the fire in the Selway
country, which is also one of the
largest fires raging sin North
Idaho at the present time.
Fires could also be seen very
plainly in the Joseph country.
These fires have to be fought by
the homesteaders as the govern
ment gives no assistance to land
owned by homesteaders. At the
present time, the only salvation
to save the timber from ruin in
the path Of the fires seems to be
rain.

Oregon, August 18th, to Miss
Bessie Eloise Eaton.
B. Auger, prosecuting attor-
ney was carried to Miss Clara

KEITH RESIGNS.

T. G.. Keith who has been en-
ployed by the Cottonwood Mer-
camille Co. for the past two
years resigned his position the
first of the week and will re.
move his family to Whitebird
where he has accepted a position
with the Salmon River Stores.
The family expect to remove to
Whitebird Sunday with their
household goods.
The Keith family who have
been residents of this vicinity
for the past four years have
many friends here who regret to
see them leave and wish them
success in their new home.
Mrs. Keith while a resident OF
Cottonwood has been an ardent
community and church worker
and has taken more than ordin.
airy interest in any movement OF
the uplifting nature. Mrs. Keith
was also head of the Cotton,
wood Red Cross and was a mem
her of the Cottonwood Glee Club
being an exceptionally gifted
singer.
The position vacated by Mr.
Keith has not yet been filled.

CHOW DRY WE ARE"

The old song Il Dry l Am"
should be changed to read ''How
Dry We Are" so that everyone
man and beast might be able to
join in the chorus as it sure can
be sung by all without any ex-
aggeration. This vicinity, which
has had no rain of any conse-
quence since early spring is be-
ginning to seriously feel the ef-
fects of. the same in more ways
than one. Early in the summer
we wanted rain to help make a
bumper crop ard at the present
time the water supply is begin
ming to be a serious problem for
many farmers.
Many of the ponds are compile
tely dried up and farmers have
been forced to either haul water
or drive their stock to it, for the
past several weeks. Water for
household use has also been very
short and several wells anc
springs have failed to supply
enough for domestic use. A
spring a few miles south of Cot
tonwood, and which is consider
ed to be one of the best in this
part of the country has refused
to bubble forth for the first time
in the memory of old timers.
This case proves true in many
other instances.
The city water supply has
been exceptionally good so fan
and no shortage is contemplated
as the two wells in the city will
provide all the water that is re-
quired for domestic use.

SHIPPED AZ
CARLOADS
STOCK VALUED AT $150,000
SHIPMENTS EARLIER
THAN USUAL

The largest shipment of live
stock taken from the prairie this
year was shipped down the high
line Tuesday morning. The cat
tie sheep and hogs shipped from
Cottonwood, Fem and Grange
vile and other points on top Of
the hill were valued in the neigh
borhood of $150,000 and requir-
ed two trains to move them, the
two trains numbering something
like AZ carloads.
The shipment consisted Of
some $50 head of cattle, 1000
sheep and 285 head of hogs and
were routed to various points on
the coast and Spokane markets.
Out of the shipments, IA car
loads were shipped from Cotton
wood and 26 carloads from Fem
and Grangeville. Several more
cars were picked up all along the
line making the stock before il
reached Lewiston aggregate in
value near the $150,000 mark.
Within the next six weeks
other heavy shipments are ex-
pected to follow this one. The
shipping season this year is
much earlier than usual, contri-
buted to the forest fire which
has forced many of the stock
men to get their stock from the
ranges in the Forest Reserve
The stock and especially the
sheep shipped this week are il
good shape and will no doubt de,
mand fancy prices when they
reach their destination.
Among the best cattle shipped
from Cottonwood this week were
two cars owned by John Cres
which he shipped to Portland
and was all A No. 1 stuff. Mr.
Crea has made cattle raising ;
study and each year ships sew
eral hundred head that alway
demand a good price.

GETS 6 CENTS DAMAGES

After being out 10 hours the
jury in Henry Ford's suit for ST
100000 damages from the
Chicago Tribune for calling him
an anarchist, gave Ford a ver-
dict for six cents.
Under the Michigan law Ford
cannot collect more than $50
from the Tribune in addition to
the six cents, as a verdict for
nominal damages allows but $50
costs to be assessed against the
losing party.

ed by Mrs. Tom Parker who will

friends here that the change OF

Mr.. Parker's health, which was
one of the main reason why the
family left Cottonwood.

SHADY PATRIOTISM.

Frank Grogan, the old time Simil-
kameen valley rancher and miner.
came in Friday evening last to remain
A short time to close up some business
matters. Mr.. Grogan has been located
on the coast for several months. and
IS holding some position which re-
quires him to do a vast amount of
travelling. There are few more in
tensely American citizens than this
same Frank Grogan and he is dis
gusted with the fake patriotism that
has come to his attention on the coast.
He says it is the chief aim of every
body from the ship yard worker to the
high up profiteer TO make all they
can out of Uncle Sam without giving
an equivalent in labor or material. He
SAYS prices are out OF sight in every
line of consumption and the chief aim
OF man seems to be to pry the dollar
out of the other fellow. MIR. Grogan
declares that he obtained a better
meal for less money on his arrival In
Oroyille than he could secure any
where on the coast He is particularly
down on the foreign agitator and in
sists that the salvation of the country
depends upon drastic immigration
laws barring the foreign element for
at least % years and the deportation
of every alien and foreign agitator In
the land. And he has it sized up about
right.

has been seen. The scenes are laid in
a west coast city and the situations
are peculiarly Japanese. Tsuru Aoki.
