with most Of their contents, were
destroyed by fire last Tuesday
morning. Mr.. Holmes had placed
a can Of tar on the cook stove to
warm it up preparatory to paint
ing the roof Of his house. The tar
got overheated, exploded and the
resultant fire was so fierce that it
was impossible to check it, not
withstanding the fact that the big
crowd attending the A. D. Hunter
auction sale near by was called
on for assistance and responded
to man. This was the home
stead residence OF the Holmeses
and was landmark in this sec
ton, and its loss is felt by the
community. Mr.. and Mrs. Holmes
and family were preparing to 60
to California for the winter, and
following the fire went to Peck
where they will stay temporarily
with Mrs. Holmes folks, the War
licks.

Give Farewell to ]. J. Matney.

Alpine did itself proud last
night in a farewell reception to
the last but two Of its original
homesteaders. The two yet re-
naming in the district are Eman-
uel Carey and Chas. Cook.
Mr.. Matney recently sold his
ranch and is to depart next Sat-
urday for the first visit in AZ
years with a brother at Kansas
City. A number Of his old neigh
pors worked up this reception, in
the nature of a surprise, and when
"Uncle" John was induced to
drop into the school house "to
see what was going on" some 60
hands were outstretched to greet
him and he soon learned what
twas going on.
John Graham, an old neighbor
who is visiting on the prairie from
Charleston, opened the proceedings
proper with characteristic
speech right from the heart and
shoulder. Then there was music
by members Of the company and
accordion selections-yes, music,
too, of course-by Geo. p Christ
enson; and good talks on their
overseas experiences by Jake
Slater, Forrest Osterhout, A. Ack-
ridge and other veterans of the
big war.
The big dining was prefaced
with the presentation to the guest
Of honor Of fitting memento Of
the esteem in which. his old Prai-
rie neighborhood holds him. The
feed, well it was big one even
for Alpine-where the biggest
and best are made.

FIX LOCATION OF
HIGHWAY TO KAM1AH.
conplete Survey Lewis Clarke
and North and South Link,
Connecting vollmer, Nez-
perce and Kamiah.

The surveying crew having in
oharge the location Of the. state
b;ohWay. link extending from
Kamiah through Nezperce to Voll-
mer and connecting the Lewis
Clark and North and South high
wavs has completed the prelimi-
nary survey and is now engaged
IN cross-sectioning the Kamiah
end of the route, preparatory to
making the construction cost esti-
mates and to the actual work. of
building the road.
The route decided upon from
Nezperce to Kamiah covers a dis
lance Of 1872 miles and follows the
main road now used between these
two points to near the top Of the
Kamiah grade. At this point, the
survey leads off down the gulch
70 the south of the present grade
and follows It's ravine for some
three miles. then forms double
loop across the old grade into the
valley. The length Of this grade
will be six miles, but it comes
within the 5 per cent limit.
From Nezperce west, the survey
follows the ravine traversed by
the Nezperce & Idaho railroad to
Vollmer, and is IA miles in length.
The cost of constructing the
highway has not been ascertain
ed. but in the heavier work on
the Kamiah grade it will run as
high as $25,000 per mile.

Teachers Organize for School Bet
terment.

The teachers of Lewis county
met last night at the Lewiston
high school building and organiz-
ed a county association Of teach
ers, said Friday s Lewiston Tri-
bune. With the assistance of.Miss
Wilon, county superintendent Of
the Lewis county schools, the new
association of instructors will un-
dertake activities for the benefit
of the schools and teachers Of that
county.
1t is planned to hold conven-
tion at some point in Lewis county
during the winter at which school
problems will be considered.
Among other items of endeavor
outlined by the association is the
one touching teachers salaries.
A committee has been appointed
to sit at intervals before the win
ter session to devolve salary
scale for pedagogues which will
be used in 1920 as minimum bas-
is for contracting in Lewis coun-
ty.
The officers of the new 0rgani-
cation are: Supt. Russell Webb,
Of Reubens, president; Supt. Irene
Houser Of Ilo,- vice-president !;
Supt. G. j. Skinner, of Nezperce,
secretary.
In discussing the reasons for
this organization. County Super
intendent Miss Wilson stated,
that in this, as in all other coun-
ties. there was room for much i'm
provement in school and teaching
conditions and it is reasonable to
presume that such Improvement
could best be brought about by
organization-by bringing the
teaching force Of the county into
closer contact, that each indivi-
dual might more readily profit
by the good points developed by
another.
While the question of salary
naturally entered into the case,
it was not primary; although
something like a uniform scale is
not only desirable from the teach
er's standpoint, but from the pa
tron' S and trustees as well.
The plan also contemplates the
organization Of the several boards
Of school trustees of the county,
which matter was taken up, but
not finally acted upon, at coun-
ty meeting of trustees held in this
city some weeks ago.
That Lewis county is a pioneer
in this progressive movement will
aot surprise those who are famil-
lar with the county's conduct
wherever opportunity offers a
chance to advance-as in the case
of the county farmer agent, the
county club leader, the county
Red Cross nurse, etc.

campbells Get $4,000 BY Agree
ment.

The important case of this term
Of district court, at least SO far as
public attention is concerned, was
that of J. FL. Campbell and Willie
Campbell, and their son Delbert
Campbell, against the Grangeville
Electrict Light & Power Co., John
Electric Light & Power c., John
and Louisa Wright and w. F.
johnson. This action was for
$12,5OO damages and was brought
about through the loss of two
fingers and thumb by Delbert
Campbell when he fell on a high
tension wire, which had blown
down during a storm last winter,
and the current SO scared the fin
gers that their amputation was
necessary.
The case came on for trial yes
terday morning and by noon a
jury had been agreed upon. The
plaintiffs then proceeded with
their side Of the case until noon
today, some eleven witnesses be-
ing examined. At noon all the par
ties went into conference, and at
three O'Clock this afternoon an
agreement was reached and the
same was presented to the court.
It's provisions included the pay
ment equally by the three defend
ants, of $1,000 to Plaintiff j. FL.
Campbell, and $4,000, equally by
the three defendants, to the plain
tiff's son Delbert Campbell and
the Grangeville Electric Light &
Power Co. to become owner OF the
half mile Of private high tension
line connecting with the standard
line Of said company and serving
the farms Of defendants John
Wright and w. F. johnson. Each
side is to pay its own costs This
agreement was read to the jury
and Judge Scales gave instruc-
tons that verdict in compliance
herewith be returned. This for
mality through with, the jury was
dismissed and court adjourned
until Friday morning.
The incident leading up to this
trial occurred last winter after a
storm had blown down several
poles carrying the power electric
line to the Wright and Johnson
farms, mile southeast OF this
clty, on which latter place the
Campbells were living. On the
morning following the storm their
l0-year-old son was playing near
the fallen line and stumbled into
the wires, receiving the injuries
stated. Plaintiffs claimed damag-
es on the grounds that the line
was not as substantial as it should
have been.
The attorneys in the case were

DeWillo's Open Lyceum Season.

The DeWillo Concert Company
last night gave the opening num-
Der of the seasons Lyceum
Course at the Temple Theatre in
this city, and the job was well
done, as the generous and enthus-
iastic applause from the well-fill-
ed house testified. The three
members of this company, Mr..
and Mrs. DeWillo Semerau, the
former playing an instrument OF
his own devising (the accordion
idea considerably multiplied and
amplified) and the latter the vo-
calist Of the company, and Miss
LaNaomi Coffin. violinist, are not
only artists in the musical field,
but they are real entertainers as
well.
In most Of the rural centers,
the product of the average con-
cert company either goes over or
under the audience. just a part
Of it-and often a very small part
-"gets home" The DeWlllos
seem to have worked out the hap
by medium, and their work IS
good to listen to and see.
A number Of people from nelgh-
bor communities who had pre-
viously heard this program, came
over to enjoy it again, and they
were not disappointed.
Besides other entertainment at
the theatre. Mr.. Semerau gave a
few pleasing numbers at the pup
lie school building in the after
noon, and, no doubt this IN part
accounted for the large attend
ance at the theatre.
