Out Of Commission.

The city pump in the northern
part of town has been out of COM
mission part of last week and part
of this week and has been under
going repairs. The other pump
is still working but is inadequate
to furnish sufficient water and as
a consequence the pressure has
been light on the high places.
Watet in the streams is also low
on account of the freezing wealth
er. Many water pipes have been
frozen up. Tuesday morning
nine degrees below was reported
in town and in some parts of the
country a few miles out as low as
Is below. At Howard McKin-
ley's ranch only four degrees be-
low was reported.

Raising Range Fees
Hits Wool Industry

The sheep and wool industry is
hard hit by the proposed advance
in range fees on the foeeSt re-
serves. There was an advance Of
Is per cent in range fees in 1917
and now it is proposed to add am
mother big increase in rates.
The charges for running sheep
and livestock on the foresr re-
serves have been profitable to the
states and nation. There is no
excuse for advancing the charges
at present when sheep and wool
prices are on the decline. The
only effect in the opinion OF the
Idaaho Woolgrowers Association
will be to shut out the little
herds: Hugh Sproat, president of
the Idaho Sheepman, is authority
for the statement that if the rates
are raised there will be none but
100, 900 head herds in a few years
"a government monopoly.

Chronicle Celebrates its
Twenty Seventh Birthday

With this issue the Chronicle
starts on the twenty-eighth year
of its career as a journal in Cot
tonwood. The first number of
the Chronicle appeared January
27, 1893, under the caption of the
Cottonwood Report, published by
Elmer Waldrip and E. T. Tan
nant and was a very creditable
paper, having been issued on
short notice and always under a
great many disadvantages. 1t is
apparent that from the very first
the paper was received with warm
welcome and received the undi-
vided support of the public and
the town gene ally which it has
continued to enjoy continuously
since.
Like most country publications
the paper has had its ups and
Towns and has frequently
changed management, but has
always emerged VIGOROUSLY every
time from beneath and has kept
on top, sailing gracefully over the
turbulent waves of diversity
which often threaten the destruc-
ton of the most promising journ-
alistic crafts during their life.
Today the Chronicle greets it's
readers with the same cheerful
message which its columns car
ried twenty-seven years ago, that
Of fulfilling its mission as a journ-
al for the promulgation of the
progress and general upbuilding
Of Cottonwood and community.
From an observation of the
tiles OF the Chronicle it is appar-
ent that each helmsman who has
had the guidance of the destinies
of the paper has lived up to their
promises and have made bright,
clean papers, each striving to
score higher than their predecess
sors. Result is the Chronicle has
kept abreast of the times and
progress of the town and com
munity which it represents and
will compare favorably with any
newspaper published in a cou ntry
town the size of Cottonwood and
in many instances it is far ahead
of many.

Hub City Is Gaining
Great Deal Of MOiorieG

Spokane is gaining more or less
notoriety as city for wife hunt
ers, and Bonners Ferry is also
coming in for its share as a good
place for husband hunters. II d
Boomers Ferry man suddenly feels
inclined to enter the league Of
Benedicts he has only to go to
Spokane, open a matrimonial Of
fice, insert an advertisement in
a paper, establish Office hours then
sit down and wait for results, and
Judging from the success they are
meeting with they do not have
long to wait. Recently a Mr..
Perry Of Bonners Ferry, following
the lead of another Bonners
Ferry citizen who found a wifeiin
a short time in this way, open
ed up his Office and told Of his
wants in the advertisement. he
same day thirty different appli-
cants answered by calling up the
Office and it was necessary for
him to discontinue his advertise
meht. The former RonnArs Far-
ry resident only remained two
weeks at his Office, being SO sue
cessful that he found a suitable
partner and returned to his home.
There is also moral to this
story: 1t pays to advertise.

The Force Observes

Of course the Office force OBJ
served New Years Day. They

sight. This week the paper has
been issued under some difiulties.
One of the employees was laid of
last Friday by illness and the edi-
tor also has been gone, leaving
us somewhat handicapped. Any
noticeable shortcomings in the
appearance of the paper this week
may be attributable to the above
reasons.

''SIacksr Marriages
Now Bearing Fruit

The Stacker marriages" per-
formed by thousands in the early
days of the selective service law
are beginning to bear fruit in the
form of deserted wives and chill
dren in 'every quarter of the
United States. A Chicago judge
disgusted by the many tales Of
woe related by war brides, who
have hailed Stacker husbands into
court, announces that he will see
that as many as possible Of the
culprits are sent to jail.
When the selective service act
came these fellows hurried to get
a marriage license and then
pleaded that they had dependent
wives. Now they are showing
their realrealibre by deseiting the
women who kept them out OF
the war.
The Judge said the increase in
complaints against Stacker hus-
bands had been alarming. In
December, 1917 there were "a
such warrants. In December
thus far there has been 280 in
Chicago alone.
In many instances young men
who sought to evade service in
the army in their haste married
on short notice just anything in
the shape Of a woman. Now,
that hostilities have ceased and
there is no immediate liability of
service these spineless creatures
seek to avoid the burdens and re-
sponsibilities of family life and
would desert their wives and
children, leaving them dependent
upon the mercies of the public.
Many of these brave" fellows
before the selective service act
had not the remotest intentions
of marriage-it suddenly OWNED
upon them that they needed" a
wife.

FLU BAN LIFTED
IN COTTONWOOD
People Rejoice That Re.
strictions are Removed
Schools Open.

People of Cottonwood generally
rejoiced Monday when it was an
nounced that owing to the great
Improvement in influenza condi-
tions in the city the ban which
has been on practically for forty
days would be removed and per-
nit the general resumption Of
business again.
The city council met Monday
afternoon and decided it was nc
longer necessary to keep the bar
on as there has been no new
{ cases of Influenza for two weeks
and all the old cases reported Out
of danger. Father Willibrord Of
the Catholic church and Professor
. Lustie were appointed by the
council to act on the health boarC
in conjunction with the city
council.
The ban was raised on every
thing. Schools opened Thursday
morning and the Catholic school
will open Monday. Poolrooms
opened also on Monday and Sun
day the moving picture shows
will start, opening with Douglas
Fairbanks featuring in good
reel.
This is more than good news tc
those who have been practically
tied down and their movements
restricted to a limited amount OF
business which was considered alb
sqllltely necessary. However,
yone should vet use some
ation and ny to prevent as far
as possible another spread Of the
epidemic. They should refrain
from expectorat1ng on the side
walks or in other public places
if you must spit do so in the
fireplace or stove. When unnec-
essary people should not crowd
together and expose themselves.

things he would learn something
about the electric starter, genera

tireing, timeing of valves, trans

that by the time he had success
fully mastered these branches of
