FOR LOWER FREIGHT RATES.

Manager B. l.. Cole of the Nezperce
Rochdale Co. returned Saturday from
Portland, where he was sent as the
representative of this community in the
freight rate hearings held before the
Portland district traffic committee of
the Federal railroad administration.
Other Lewis county representatives at
this meeting were D. Bodine, of Voll
mer, and Guy Dissmore, of Kamiah.
The object of the conference was to
secure relief from the discriminatory
freight rates now prevalent out of
Lewiston and on the Calnas Prairie
and branch lines to Nezperce and Win
chester, and Mr.. Cole reports that
reduction of at least Is per cent, and
possibly more, for shippers in the prai-
rie country. The claim was also back
ed by members of the Idaho public
utilities commission and representa-
tivess from Lewiston, Grangeville and
Cottonwood.
Some glaring determinations and a
comprehensive showing of excessive
charges were presented.
AS an illustration of the operation
of the rate increase between Lewiston
and Camas Prairie points, the original
rate between Lewiston and Grangeville
was so cents. In July, 1917, the rate
was advanced Is per cent to 711a cents
and in June, 1913, the rate was ad-
vanced 25 per cent to S91a cents. The
same proportionable advance was made
at all points on the Camas Prairie
line.
These increases between Lewiston
and Camas Prairie points were greater
than those imposed on Washington and
other points beyond Lewiston, and re-
lief was asked from this unfair condi-
ton.

TEMPLE SHOW CHANGES HANDS

o. A. Bilodeau this week sold the
Temple Theater to Mrs. Z. s. Peter
son, who will hereafter manage this
leading entertainment resort in our
community. Though working through
the dull season, the Bilodeaus have
been fairly successful with the theater
and have given a service second to
none in the prairie country-in fact,
there are very few other places of our
population in the Northwest where an
every-night picture service is maintain
ed. The call of the city, however, was
too strong for these people to resist,
and they will return to Seattle next
week.
Mrs Peterson will take charge of
the theater Monday night, and, we
are informed, she will sustain the bet
ter class of service which has been
established and expects to add thereto
as the patronage justifies.

BUILD SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.

Supt. C. J. Skinner of the Nezperce
Public Schools is fathering a move,
ment for the construction of stage
at the west end of the big high school
gymnasium and the conversion, as oc-
casipn may require, of the gym into
an auditorium, for the more satisfac-
tory presentation of school plays, en-
tertainments, etc.
It is estimated about $1,000 will be
required to complete the improvement,
and already large portion of this sum
has been raised by popular subscrip-
tion. 1T is planned to do the construc-
tion work during the summer vacation
period and number of the high school
boys have volunteered their services
for the job.

RAMEy PUTTING IN SAW MILL.
Back In LAUNDERING Game With 4,OOO.-
600 Feet Run North of
RUSSELL

| Mr. and Mrs. w. ]. Ramey came in
Friday from Prosser, WASH, where
they spent the greater part of the win
ter at the home of their daughter, Mrs.
D. A. Linder. They are back with us
permanently and the natives are glad
to welcome them.
Mr.. Ramey is establishing lumber
mill on his timber holdings north of
Russell and has force of men pre-
pairing the site for the mill during the
past week. He has about 100000
feet of standing timber in that Sec
.tion, and this he will reduce to build
ing dimensions to fill contracts already
closed with eastern dealers.
He was the pioneer lumber man in
that field and continued to operate
mills in the Russell section for a num-
Der of years after the opening of the
reservation, furnishing most of the
building material and much of the en-
thusiasm that was utilized in the de-
velopment of the eastern half of Nez-
perce prairie, besides a large portion
of the lumber used in the western half
from mills later operated in the Craig
Mountain district. He is glad to be
back on his old /" stomping ground, -
and re-enters the game with the same
zest as was one of his chief charac-
teristics 20 years ago. His nearest
postoffice will be Clifford, to which he
requests his mail be sent.

Sunday Schools Well Over.

The Sunday school attendance in
Nezperce on Easter was 454, with 173
at the Brethren church, 155 at the
Christian and 1876 at the Community
churches. 1t was an ideal Easter day,
and this fact together with the effort
put forth on the part of the attendance
committees of the several schools Sc
cured the happy result. The town g
attendance quota was 400, which had
been fixed at recent convention of
the County Sunday School Association.
This record of attendance could and
should be maintained.
At the Brethren church a fine East
er program was conducted by the Sun
day school during the regular morn
ing preaching hour, and this was very
much enjoyed by the large assemblage.
The Christian church Sunday school
gave an excellent program of musical
numbers, readings, ETC., from ii to IL a.
m, and this was followed by dinner
inexpressably good and complete, pre-
pared and served by the good ladies of
that congregation and done full JUS
tice to by all who were lucky enough
TO be in attendance.
The Community church Sunday
school gave it's highly entertaining
Easter program during the Sunday
school hour, and this was followed by
special Easter sermon by the pastor,
Rev. Claude Martin.

County Going Over.

Reports from all sections of the
county this morning as to the status
of the Victory Loan are very encourag
ing, and Chairman H. G. Anderson is
quite sanguine of Lewis county meeting
her quota on this loan as the American
BOYS met their bigger task on the
battle line. School districts IL and l9
Nelson and Rose Hill-subscribed
their quota the first day; the Nez-
perce district is well past the half
way mark, and, like the balance OF the
county, is quietly, but determinedly,
climbing to the goal. There should
be no let up, however, in any quarter
until May 10th brings the close of the
drive.

IMPROVING ACOUSTICS AT LODGE
HALL.
Curtis J. Miller.
VIM. Sullivan.

Nczperce has one of the incest lodge
halls on the prairie-in the Fraternal
brick building, with steam heat, cleo
trio lights water and sewerage con-
nections, lockers, etc.--but there has
been more or less complaint of the
acoustic properties of the hall, and
reason therefor, ever since it was open
ed. This trouble is being removed.
The management of the building is
having the ceiling done over by o. 8.
.Delwell, representative of the well
known J. M. Johns Manville Co., which
company guarantees to remedy the
trouble to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
The hall is also leased by the county
as o district court room, and this work
is to be completed this week so that
the hall will be in readiness for the
next term of court, which convenes
here on May 18th.

The league will be financed by each
community taking care of its own
team s expenditures each team de-
fraying its own expenses and receiv-

the spectators a good exhibition at
every contest.

FOUR THOUSAND CHEER
VICTORY TROPHY TRAIN
Lewis County Takes Holiday, Assem-
bles at vollmer Tuesday, Sees
War Relics and Mingles
Periodically.

Some 1000 patriotic Lewis county
citizens greeted the Victory Loan
Trophy Train when it pulled into Voll-
mer promptly at 11:10 O'Clock last
| Tuesday morning, and as many of this
| big crowd as possible spent busy
hour inspecting the tank, guns, shells,
| airplane parts and numerous other
relics of the great conflict carried by
the train, and in listening to the
speeches of the several speakers ac-
companying the exhibit. OF course
most every one would have desired
more time to inspect the display, but
all were well satisfied with what they
saw, its genuineness and the silent,
thrilling story it all brought back from
"over there"
The car of personal exhibits attract
ed the greatest interest, and next came
the baby tank and then the various
pieces of artillery, distributed over the
six cars of the train. A number of
state notables and army officers and
soldiers were on board and several of
them addressed the crowd; the most
impressive talk of all being that of
Private Robert Storey, an Oregon boy
who had been very much in the battles
of four fronts and "never got a
scratch '-'syes I did, too" he ex-
planned, "I had cooties." The Others
with the train were: Attorney General
Black, Captain A. H. Connor, Captain
Ed. Hawley, Lieutenant w. Hyatt,
John A. McMenomin, Bryan Bidwell,
Rex Timmel, Bert Bates, Mark A.
Shields, Joe A. Brennan, Lester Kerick,
J. w. Trailkill, A. Gray.
The climax Of each speech came with
an appeal for liberal investment in
Victory Bonds, and these appeals are
having. the desired effect.
1t was stated impressively by the
train company that the Lewis county
turn out was the largest and showed
the best spirit of any they had yet
encountered-a fact that was greatly
appreciated.
After the departure of the special,
the crowd mingled socially, sought re-
freshment for the inner man-which
was found to be ample and none went
hungry-and, throughout the entire
program, all enjoyed the martial music
and war time airs we'll interspersed by
tha Vollmer-Ilo band.
The proceedings of the day were ap-
propriately finished with a fair sample
of the national game between Vollmer-
Ilo and Nezperce, the visitors being
the easy winners with score of ii to
8. The outstanding features of the
game were the very clever pitching by
Nolen Hollen of the Nezperce team and
the home-run hit by Lorentz Wade.
The score by innings:
Nezperce-3 2 0 2 0 Ill
no- VOL 0 0 0 0 0-3

A man asked us the other day
why we spent SO much money in
advertising. Our answer was, to
keep from starving. We have
been careful to handle nothing in
the car line but the highest quail

to you or us unless we let you
know through advertising that we
are selling automobile equipment

as its highest standard. Heston
