ZUVER GETS $500 MORE.

The w. r. Rogers sale, which
was held in Cottonwood last Sat-
urday afternoon was attended
by a large crowd, and everything
sold brought good prices. Mr..
Rogers stated that if anyone
would have offered him $500 for
his household goods before the
sale he would have sold the
same. After everything was
sold, the proceeds ran near the
$1,000 mark, OF $500 more then
Mr.. Rogers expected from the
sale. Much of the credit in
securing the extra $500 is given
to Auctioneer Zuver of Grange
vile who conducted the sale for
Mr.. Rogers.
After the sale the Rogers
family departed for Lewiston in
an automobile where they will
make their future home. Ther
many friends here wish them
success in their new home.

GRAIN GRAD
ING MEETINGS
FARMERS, MILLERS, DEAL
ERS AND ELEVATOR
MEN ARE INVITED.

Under the auspices of the Ida
no County Farm Bureau, Mr..
B. F. Sheehan, State Seed Com
missioner and Agronomy Spe-
cialist for the University Exten-
sion Service will hold two gram
grading demonstrations. The
first will be held Monday, Sept
ember 10th, at 200 P. M. in
Cottonwood. The other on Sept
ember 30th, at 200 P. M. at
Grangeville.
The object of these meetings
is to demonstrate to the farmers,
the proper way of grading grain
and to show how and why the
different docks are made.
There is no doubt but what
grain grading has come to stay.
The days of penalizing a farmer
for raising good wheat are past,
providing the grading is prop
erly done. Every farmer should
be in a position to grade his own
grain as well as to know when
it is being properly graded.
Armed with this information
every farmer knows the market
value Of his product, and will be
abe to go on to the market and
intelligently sell to the highest
bidder and know whether he is
getting a premium or it's face
value.
Remember the dates Cotton
wood, September 10Th, and
Grangeville, September 3Oth.
Cannon at Grangeville.
On the evening of October 7th,
Miles Cannon, State Commits
sioner of Agricultural will be at
Grangeville to explain the OBJ
iect, purpose and workings of
his department.
This department was created
to safeguard, and promote the
agricultural interests of the
State. In order to do this, the
men who are at the head of the
department are desirious of
meeting the farmers of every
section and get first hand in
formation on the problems et-
fecting the various sections of
the State.
You are urged to attend this
meeting and learn what is be-
ing done in the interest of agri-
culture for North Idaho.

DANCE WAS BIG SUCCESS.

The After Harvest dance
which was given at the Orpheum
Theatre last Friday evening was
attended by a large crowd of
young folks from various sec
tions of the county. A large
number of dancers were present
from Grangeville, Ferdinand,
Winona and Fem. After the
dance, when several gentlemen
5 or 6 in all called for their hats,
which had been checked they
were not to be found anywhere.
These hats, were either taken by
mistake or stolen, or as was pre-
sumed by some a mere joke, but
as the hats have failed to show
up at all it is believed they were
stolen.

+. A. Gaul, manager of the
Orpheum theatre, this week
booked Told In The Hills" for
a one nights showing some time
i'll October, the exact date hav-
ing not been set.
"Told In The Hills" is the fa-
nous picture put out by the
Paramount people which was
made at Kamiah early this
spring and was shown at the
Rlalto, one of New York's lead
ing picture theatres last week.,
as the great feature for Per
sching week.
The outdoor settings for "Toldl
in the Hills were made in April
and May by the Paramount
Aircraft producers and one of
their best directors, George H.
Melford, was sent to Kamiah
with one of the strongest COM
panies that could be assembled
from the great aggregation of
Paramount = Aircraft players.

Robert Warwick and included
in his support are such we'll
known stars as Ann Little, Tom
Forman, Wanda Hawley, Chas.

Fate of but Two Men

Private Gilbert E. Brown of
Bozeman, Montana, and William
z. Taylor of Elijah, North Caro-
lima, are the only American
soldiers, of the more than 2,OOO,-
600 sent to France, for whom
the War Department has been
unable to account. They are
Classed as missing in action"
Whether they were killed in bat
tie, OF died Of disease in some
obscure place or in prison, OF
whether they are still in Europe
or other foreign country, or have
returned to the United States,
the War Department has been
unable to determine.
The War Departments sue
ucess in ascertaining the fate Of
every one of the Expeditionary
Force in France is regarded as
remarkable. In the Civil War,
fought in a relatively small sec
ton of this country, the "un-
known dead" were counted by
the thousands. Hardly a ma
tional cemetery but has hun
dreds of graves holding the re-
mains of Federal or Confederate
soldiers who remain unidentl-
fled.
Relatives Of men who fell in
France have at least the consola-
tion of knowing the way in
which these gallant Americans
died, and where they are buried.
Their bodies are resting in Gem
eteries that are practically
American soil and that are to be
permanent and beautiful memo
rials of the men who lie in them.

OF HIS
RECENT TRIP
A DISTANCE OF 1867 MILES
WAS TRAVELLED BY
THE PARTY.

At our suggestion, Mr. John
Hoene has consented to give us
a description of the country he
Travelled over on his recent trip
to the Yellowstone National
Park. The trip made by Mr..
Hoene was taken in his Buick,
without the slightest trouble of
any kind. We would also be
glad to publish similar stories
from anyone who has recently
made a trip of this kind, hoping
that it will be of interest to
many of our readers. The de-
scription of the trip made by Mr..
Hoene and his family is as fol-
lows:
AS l promised, a week before
last, that l would furnish the
readers of the Chronicle a des-
cription of our automobile trip
to the Yellowstone so l will try
and be as brief as possible, still
stating the main Incidents.
AS had promised my family,
to make an automobile tour and
camping out trip this summer,
so we concluded to make a tour
of Yellowstone Park going via
Washington and Montana and
coming back via south Idaho.
AS we were aware that such
trip would require some time,
and wishing to get the benefit
of camping out and sleeping out
doors we equipped our car with 3
extra boxes (tWo on the front
tenders and one lage one on the
rear) carrying our cooking uten-
sils, provisions and our bedding
on the running board. We CAL
ried four large suitcases, con-
tanning our clothes and our tent
which was 9x15, leaving plenty
of room for the comfort of the
family in the car.
I wish to add here that this is
very important when touring, to
have plenty of room for the pas
sengers on long trip.
We departed from Cottonwood
on August 7th for Lewiston,
where we stopped at Charleston,
taking in the circus Gas people
say for the benefit of the chill
dren.) You know grown people
don't care for such a thing.
From here we went to Spokane
attending the Buick convention.
From Lewiston to Spokane the
roads were in fine shape, being
hard surfaced with the excep-
ton of a few miles. From Spo-
kane our party went to Chewe-
lah, Wash. Ga distance of 55
miles and very rough roads,
visiting with the Drops and Put
hOff families for three days and
taking in a fishing trip to Waits
Lake. This is a place where
everyone can catch fish, even the
women and children can catch
them as fast as they can throw
in the hook and take them off.
Every member of our party
caught from 10 to 40 perch,
about 7 to 8 inches long and in
all had about so pounds of fish.
There are many fine lakes in
this territory, most noted among
them being, Loon Lake, which is
very beautiful.
At Chewelah there is a mag
nesizing factory, where some of
the best magnese iron in the
world is produced. This is very
interesting, as there are only a
few places in the United States
where magnese is made-Cali-

WILL Give $500
TO SAL. ARMY
CAN WITHDRAW CONTRI-
BUTTON IF so
DESIRED.

Out of the total of $924.00 re-
naming in the war chest fund,
which is approximately 27 per
cent of the money collected by q
committee for the fund, $500
will be given to the Salvation
Army as Cottonwood's quota
for the Salvation army drive and
the remainder will be used to de-
fray the expenses of the Sol
diers and Sailors Banquet. This
conclusion was reached by the
committee at a meeting held
this week.
The money which is on hand,
was raised for the various
quotas that were assigned to
Cottonwood during the war for
Red Cross Drives, X. of C. drives
Y. M. c. A. and other war ac-
tivities, as the community was
called upon to do so. This sum,
was raised in one drive in order
to eliminate the necessity of
making a drive every time call
came and having the money on
hand it was simply paid over OF
as much as was assigned as Cot
tonwood quota.
1t was also decided, that
should anyone wish to withdraw
his contributions (the remaining
percentage) which were made
during the war, he is at liberty
to do so. This is done in order
to avoid any criticism in the
committees action of disposing
of the money which was raised
for the above purposes. The
action taken at this time by the
committee in disposing of this
money is very commendable,
and will go for a good cause.
The Executive Committee of
the War Chest Fund also issued
the following statement:
There remains S924.00 in the
Cottonwood War Chest, approx
imately 27 per cent of the total
amount collected by this COM
mittee for the various war work
drives. The Executive Committee
desire to wind up the affairs of
this organization, and held a
meeting for that purpose Tues
day evening. At which time
the matter of disposing of the
funds on hand was discussed and
the following plan of action was
decided upon:
First: All Contributors of the
war chest who have paid in more
than four and one-half months
dues will be entitled to claim a
refund of all in excess of 41@
months dues which they have
paid in, provided that they ap-
ply for the refund before Oct. IL
at the bank to which they paid
their dues.
Second: OF that portion which
remains in the War Chest after
Oct. 18th. Five Hundred Dollars
shall be paid to the Salvation
Army to meet the quota of this
community in the present drive
which that organization is MAX
ing for funds to conduct their
home welfare work. They
helped our boys over there. Let's
help them over here.
Thirdly: If there still remains
any funds in the war chest after
the above mentioned provisions
have been met, same shall be
turned over to the committee
handling the Soldiers and Sailors
Banquet to be expended by them
as they see fit, on condition that
should, any of the funds remain
after the banquet the remaining
portion shall be turned into the
Treasury of the local branch of
the Red Cross.
With this plain statement OF
the proposal the committee feel
that they are discharging their
duty to those who have intrust-
ed them with the management
of the war chest. Orders of
The Executive Committee.

 Despite the shortage of labor and transportation, the high cost of ma terials and supplies, prohibitive to the mining of low grade deposits, mining development in Alaska, dur ing 1918, showed material progress in the opening of many new proper ties and the enlargement of plants and equipment.
 Alaska made it's first shipment of nlatinum in November. One hun dred and thirty-three ounces of the metal, valued at $13,577, arrived in the States from widely separated locali,ses in the Territory-six ounces from Slate creek in the up- per Copper river region; twenty-two ounces from Dime creek, Seward peninsula, and 1Q5 ounces from the Salt Chuck mine in the Ketchikan dietrict The first two shipments were from a placer deposit; the third from a lode deposit.
 Molybdenum will be added to AlaSkaS cXpOrtS HcXC year, through the opening of a large deposit at Shaken, on the northern end of Prince of Wales island, by the Treadwell Gold Mining Company, which has installed a twentystamp mill and is constructing a 4,000- foot tramway from the wharf to the mine. One hundred thousand tons of ore are in sight, and the com pany has erected at Treadwell a Heroult electric furnace for mak- ing ferro-molybdenum

The Slate Greek placer camp, also in the Copper river district, has just completed it's most successful season after operating for eighteen years as 2 steady producer.
 The Alaska Copper Corporation has developed it's bornite deposit tc a depth of 300 feet on Nugget creek in the Kuskulana valley. A fifty. ton experimental mill has beer constructed this season and will be enlarged next year. Ore will be transported by auto trucks over 6 new auto road, twenty miles ir parN from the mine to Strelna, or the Copper River & Northwestern railroad.
 Complete Long Tramway. Copper mines in the Prince Will liam sound district have been se- riously handicapped by lack Of transportation facilities, due to the governmental order requiring steam ship companies to care, first, fol fish products. The longest tramway in Alaska, 2S,360 feet long, has been completed this year by the Granby Consolidated Company from the Midas mine to tide water on Valdez bay, and equips this mine for much larger output.
 The Alaska Gastineau mine at Thane has undertaken no new de- velopment work this year on ac- count of the high cost of opera ton and the shortage of labor, but expects to resume operations at ca pacity in the near future.
 President F. W. Bradley an- nounces that the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company is preparing to operate forty-fve drills on this property next year, which means greatly increased output.
 The Willow creek district in the Susitna valley has experienced the most successful season of it's his tory; the output is expected to ex ceed that of last year by $1O0, 900. The ores of this district have been found to contain platinum The mills of the old Gold Bullion Alaska Free Gold Mining Com pany and the Mable have operated continuously throughout the year.

 Regular shipments of chrome ort are being made from the property of Whitney & Lass at Lort Chath. am.
 Operations of the Cache creel dredge were among the most i'm portant in the Susitna district this year.
 The Valdez Creek Mining Com pany, completed the installation of one of the largest hydraulic plants in Alaska, preparatory to opera tions on a large scale next season.
 Free milling ore was mined at the Chase property on Turnagain arm.
 Extensive deposits of magnetic iron ore were discovered at Snug harbor.
