MAKING A CROSSING
AT LAWYER s CANYON.
Over 30 Nezperce Citizens Joiz
Greencreek Force and I'm
prove Grade at Stew
enson Crossing.

Tuesday was "road day" for
Nezperce and SO of the business
men and citizens of the commun-
| ity loaded dozen automobiles
with shovels, picks, rakes, noon
luncheon and themselves and
went to the Stevenson crossing of
Lawyers canyon, five miles due
south of Nezperce, and joined
force from the Grccncreek section
in taking the kinks out Of the
newly constructed grade.
The work of building this grade
was completed during the winter,
and numerous. rough and rocky
spots had been left that made
auto travel over it more or less
difficult and hazardous. Last
Tuesdays job consisted princi-
pally in removing a couple of
rocky projections and in freeing
the road of loose stones, covering
beds of rock fragments with dirt,
filling up ruts and in generally
smoothing out the road way.
Practically all of this work was
done on the south side Of the can
yon, and travellers over that see
tion Of the road henceforwa1d
will find the going very satisfac-
tory.
The grade on both sides is prac-
tically on 5 per cent scale, and
when the north road is cleared of
rocks and made as smooth as it
should be, there is no doubt that
this will soon become the most
used crossing Of the canyon.
There is talk here Of all hands
turning out again next Tuesday
to complete the job, but this has
not been definitely decided upon;
though such move will be made
in the near future, if not on next
Tuesday.
The disposition displayed by
the Nezperce folks in last Tues
days work--a pull altogether
is indicative Of what can be done
by the community, and by the end
of the season there will be very
evidence on all sides that
the good old town has come
back, " and is still at it.

SEVEN MORE HEROES
BACK FROM OVERSEAS.
Nezperce Boys In Battle Line of
e1st and 41st Divisions Ar.
rived Friday and Made
Home Hearts Glad

Another bevy Of young soldier
heroes, who have been in Uncle
Sans big overseas service from
this community. arrived here last
Friday evening and were warmly
welcomed by their kindred and
old friends, whose prayers and
GOOD wishes had followed them
through the long months of their
heroic service for the glory of
America. Six Of the boys came in
Friday evening and Sven Thonp-
son arrived Tuesday. The group
was made up Of Sergeant Ralph
Jones, Everett Covey and Alois
Kachelmier, Of the 41st Division,
and Corporal Vonley Miller, Mar
tin and Sven Thompson and Earl
Garvin, Of the 91st Division.
These young men saw service
in various branches Of the army,
several Of them being with the
infantry and engineers in the
heavy fighting of the ,Argonne
and on the Belgian front and they
have reoQLals which any hero
would be proud to own, but. since
their return they have been SO
busy saying "howdy" to the folks
and getting adjusted to mother s
cooking and home comforts that
the newspaper man has found no
chance to get their story; but
this is thing that will keep and
we hope next week to give their
friends the details of their con-
duct in the service. In the mean
time, we join you in extending to
them the heartiest welcome COM
munity can give it's hero sons.

The dance at the Temple Thea
ter last Tuesday evening was one
of the most successful and en-
ioyable hops our town has known
for a long time. The theater
management overlooked no de-
tails in their preparation and the
attending crowd brought a nice
spirit Of revelry that did not
wane a moment throughout the
hours Of the program. The jazz
Orchestra, of Lewiston, delivered
2 novel run Of music that went
a. long way toward the success of
the affair. and the luncheon serv-
ed by the Nezperce Hotel was
lust right. Among the visitors
from out of town were couple
of car loads of Kamiah young
folks. who brought with them the
sociable spirit of their home town
and this thev disseminated ap-
nreciably durino and between the
dances. The bill will be repeated
fortnightly as long as the patrons
desire it.

Nezperce, 9; vollmer-Ilo, 10.

+ Sad, but true. This refers tt
| the opening base ball game OF
the Prairie League season at this
place last Sunday afternoon.
1t was bad day for base ball,
anyway: Cold and threatening
rain. But Ilo and Vollmer came
over with their team in droves
and brought their band along,
and the home fans turned out un-
| til the gate receipts totaled $145
and there was never assembled
here a more eager bunch for the
national sport.
The game was called at $50,
with Ilo-Vollmer at the bat, and
the betting looked even either
way. The visitors were blanked
in their half Of the first try, how
ever, and Nezperce came on for
three runs. Hollen, who held the
box for Nezperce, was there in his
usual form and during the next
six times up, the visitors were
able to get only one man over the
home plate. while the locals BOOST
ed their score to 8. In the first
of the eighth, Hollen weakened
(hard work "skinning" a plow
team all the previous week had
gotten his arm) and the boys
from the west pounded him for
six runs, with no outs. Bettis
relieved Hollen and was himself
succeeded by Medved after two
runs were put over on him. Three
more runs were made before Med
we'd retired the bunch; and they
were not satisfied with this but
blanked Nezperce in the first half
of the eighth and took seven
more runs in the ninth, giving
the home boys another blank in
the last half of this final inning.
The crowd was good natured
and enjoyed and endured the
sport in a sportsmanlike way,
and, Notwithstanding the cold, all
hung on until the bitter and joy
full end. Nezperce takes her hat
off to Ilo-Vollmer for the way
their community turned out and
the fine community spirit they
in so doing. and to Edi-
tor Martin and his band boys for
along with a liberal sup
ply of good music.
..Nezperce plays at Ilo-Vollmer
next Sunday, and Nezperce. will
be there strong, and regrets very |
much that she has no band to
bring along; although she will en-
10y listening to yours-win orr

REUBENS GOES OVER ON
VICTORY LOAN

Chairman Anderson this after
llorn received the report tha.
Reubens had gone over the top
cn her Victory Loan quota $15,-
000-the first district in the coun-
ty to so report, and she is still
going. Hope is high now that
before the drive closes Saturday
night every district in the county
will be able to SO report. though
strenuous and unrelenting work
will be required from this on to
bring about such a condition.
Nezperce has subscribed $780,
900 of her $4,000 quota and the
balance of the county has reached
the halfway mark, according to
latest returns. Solicitors have
been going out from this point,
as well as others, during the past
two days, with varying results.
Some find hard nuts to crack, but
now, really, who wants to be one
OF these nuts?
Lewis county cannot afford to
have it said Of her that she fail
ed to measure up in this Victory
Loan campaign to the standard
her soldiers and her people have
established during the war. She
can handle this $175,000 of Vic
tory bonds if any commonwealth
can, and if each one will take his
share she will more than meet the
obligation.
Saturday night closes the drive.
Don t be left in the class of slack
ers when the closing hour arrives.
