W|LL|AMSOKS TO
CLOSE TONIGHT
GREAT MERCANTILE ESTAB-
LISHMENT TO BECOME A MEN,
DRY AFTER 9 O'CLOCK

N. Williamson closes his big store
in the Mcconnell Mcguire building at
9 o'clock tonight. The goods unsold
at that time will be moved into the
Brown building where the grocery de-
partment has been and will be closed
out there.
The store has had an interesting
history. Started on a small scale in
the room now occupied by the j. c..
Penney store in July, 1908, it has
grown until it was the largest store
in north Idaho, OCCUPYING the three
floors of the Mcconnell Mcguire
building with several balconies and
the Brown buildings two floors.
Mr.. Williamson has also had branch
stores at Palouse, Wash, Deary, Bo-
will, Clifford, and Winchester, Idaho,
and at Heppner, Oregon. Mr.. Will
hanson has sold millions of dollars
worth of merchandise since he opened
his store here and has made a fortune.
He is retiring to engage in stock busi-
ness but is leaving behind him an en-
viable reputation for square dealing
and he leaves tens of thousands OF
satisfied customers.
1t is understood, on what appears to
be excellent authority, that the big
building is soon to be occupied by a
new store equally as large as Mr..
Williamson's has been. The name of
the new firm is not made public.

MOSCOW BOY SCOUTS
RETURN TO TROOP
ALMOST A FULL TROOP NOW
REGISTERED-BR OUT
LOOK FOR THE FUTURE

Twenty-SiX scouts have re-regiSter-
edfor the new year and it is expected
that the troop will have its full regis
tration of 32 within a week The
troop extends a special invitation to
boys who were registered last year
to fill these places. However, any
boy of scout age in Moscow who will
live up to the spirit of the scout oath
and law may have a place in the
troop as long as there is place left.
Members this year will be expected to
take an active part in the scouting
program. Scouts who do not attend
meetings (unless working) or regu-
larry advance in their scouting grade
by passing. their tests, will be asked
to drop out. The troop has also voted
that no more han thirty-two will be
admitted to the troop this year. No
other troops will likely be formed for
several months at least.
Eighteen members of the troop en-
joyed camp fire supper Tuesday
night, the regular scout meeting
night the troop will meet at 7:45,
Tuesday, at Scout Headquarters.
Lyle Drury passed his tenderfoot test
Wednesday night, and several scouts
passed their second class first aid
tests. No examinations will be held
at any other time except by special
arrangement beforehand. any scout
wishing a special appointment will
please communicate with the scout
master in advance.
First class scout George Clarke has
been elected Patrol Leader of the
fourth patrol. Scout Stanley Pierce
was elected Trop editor. Scouts Ell
bridge, Sudderth, and Erickson were
reelected patrol leaders, with scouts
Walker, Shook, and Owings as as
sistants. Francis Eldridge was re-
elected scribe. Any former member
wishing to remain in the troop will
kindly pay up dues to the scribe.
Next Sunday is scout anniversary
Sunday, as we'll as Roosevelt Sunday.
This is in keeping, as the former pres
ident was one of the leaders of the
Boy Scout organization, as well as one
of the most splendid modern examples
of the ideals for which the Boy Scouts
stand. Every scout is expected to at
tend services, in uniform if practical.
Next Tuesday night will be ami
versary night, and it is hoped that we
will have full troop for the celebra-
tion. Second class scouts will please
bring up their candidates before that
time and former scouts pay up, so
that the troop can completely organize
then. A special program will be ar
ranged.
Next week is also Father and Son
week and the scouts and their faith
ers will be brought together at ban
quet during the week, together with
the other boys of the community, and
their fathers. Announcement of this
banquet will be made elsewhere.

STOCKMEN TO HOLD
MEETING AT BOISE
STATE CONTROL OF GRAZING
AND INCREASED FOREST
FEES FOR CONSIDERATION.

The Fourth Annual Convention of
the Idaho Cattle & Horse Growers as
sociation of which Clay Vance is pres
ident and L. e. Dillingham; secretary
is set for February 10Th and goth at
! Boise, Idaho.
This association is composed largely
of cattle and horse growers of the
state who run their live stock upon
the public domain and the national
forests and has a membership of
around twelve hundred.
The association was organized at
Pocatello in 1914 and has held con-
ventions in Pocatello, Boise and Ida
no Falls.
Owing to the fact that very ma
terial increase in grazing fees on the
forests is likely, and also owing to
the fact that. legislative matters af-
fecting the industry are up for con-
sideration that the attedance at the
Fourth Annual Convention IN BOISE
will be the largest one in the history
f the association.
During the existence of this asso-
citation it has been instrumental in
keeping down grazing fees on the for
ests and in bringing about improved
conditions and securing five-year
term permit for grazing stock on the
forests instead of one, as heretofore.
1t has advocated and has brought
about rule attaching the right to
Craze live stock on forests to the own
ership of ranch property instead of
to the ownership of livestock.
The association has also been in
Il Il,
American Live Stock Association, in
bringing about an investigation of
the packers-the big question Of which
we see so much now in the press.
Better breeding, increased market
facilities, distribution of cars, eradi-
cation Of poisonous plants, and di-
sease among cattle and horses, etc.,
are matters to which the association
give strict attention and obtain re-
suits. This association represents the
men engaged in the industry owning
nearly a million head of cattle and
horses in the state-one of the most
important industries within our bor-
ders.
The Fourth Annual Convention will
have program of great interest to
every man engaged in the industry.
Federal, district and state officials
are scheduled to- appear upon the
program, and discuss topics of lively
interest. All stock men who can pos
sibly attend are urged to do so.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee and the county chairman of the
is called for 10 o'clock
on the morning of February 10Th, at
which time it is expected full at
tendance will be had.
Delegates attending the convention
may ascertain from any hotel in Boise
the place of meeting.

GRANDMA OYCERT
is 81 YEARS old
MOTHER OF WELL-KNOWN CITI-
ZEN CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY
HAD A BUSY DAY

Grandma Dygert celebrated her oath
birthday today at the home of her son,
A. Gygert, in this city. Grandma, as
she is familiarly called by her neigh
bors, was born in Sand Lake, Van
Ranalear county, New York, in 1925.
She was married in April, 1845, and
she and her husband started soon aft
er for Illinois which was then called
the far west. They travelled by the
Erie canal to Buffalo and then by sail
boat around through the Great Lakes
to Chicago. Chicago was then only
q small village OF a few hundred in
habitants and they could find but two
horse teams in Chicago at that time.
One Of the teams they hired to take
them out to some government land
which they bought at $1.25 an acre.
This land is about 40 miles from Chi
cago, at Crystal Lake, McHenry coun-
ty, Illinois. There we're no railroads
near Chicago at that time, and one
could buy all the government land he
had money to pay for at $1.25 an
acre. There were no homestead or
pre- emptions at that time
1t is interesting to note the vast
changes and progress that have come
during one life time. All of he mod
arn inventions and conveniences have
come since Grandma was girl. There
were not even common cooking stoves
when she was young.
She was the mother of ten children,
six of whom are still living. Her 9TH
sr descendants now number 26 grand
children and AZ great grand children.
Grandmas husband died in 1899 and
n 1900 she came to Idaho.
She is quite comfortable but nearly
blind and is getting to be very feeble,
'equiring much care and attention,
,ut her children and friends hope she
will remain here to see her hundredth
birthday and more.
