THE SALVATION ARMY

The week beginning Monday
September %. has been set aside
for the Salvation Army drive III
the state of Idaho. In other drives
we have been asked to contribute
funds to be used elsewhere, but
the entire amount to be raised this
time is for use within the state.
The amount to be raised by the
state is 100000 and Lewis coun-
tvs quota is $4,000.
OF the total sum raised, $685.
900 is to be used for building a
State Home for neglected, home
less, delinquent and other girls
in need; $4,000 is to be used for
maintaining the home the first
year. The balance will be devoted
to the general work of the Saliva
ton Army throughout the state.
This is time when everyone.
can help. So many of our insti-
buttons are factional that their
must fall largely on some
society or creed. Organizations

The crew Of surveyors under
Engineer Jas. Wilson, who are
making the permanent location
survey Of the state highway link
in Lewis county between the Lew
is and Clark highway at Kamiah
and the North and South higway
at Ilo have completed their work
from Ilo to the center of Nezperce.
The route decided upon thus far
comes east down the draw fol
lowed by the Nezperce & Idaho
railroad to Main Street in Nez-
perez and north on this street to
Fourth avenue.
The surveyors are now taking
preliminary observation Of the
routes from the prairie to the
Clearwater valley at Kamiah.

like the Salvation Army. and the
Red Cross extend the helping
hand to all in need without ques-
ton. Such institutions breath
the spirit of a true Republic. They
appeal to a free citizenry in its
grandelst conception. They are
for all and not for the few. Where
help is needed they 90, and with
out question as to race. color, re-
ligion or conventionality.
Ask the boys who went across
what they think Of the work of
the Salvation Army. We may
earnestly support this drive well
knowing that if given chanca
the Salvation Army will extend
the same helping hand to our girls
in need at home that it did to our
boys abroad.
The amount asked for is small
and by everyone helping little
the burden will not fall heavily
on any.

Big Cattle Shipment Through

prime beef cattle will be mad,

herds and the cattle are now be.
ing held in the Forest country
pending the arrival of the cars at
Winchester.
The prices secured range from
f712 cents for COWS to 10 cents
for steers. The larger per cent of
the steers are high grade and were
ranged on the Salmon river breaks
and on the Craig mountain pla-
teaus. They are in fine condition
and will rank with the best steers
marketed in the northwest.
The largest cattlemen of the
country have been heading their
herds with ure-bred sires for the
past several years and step by
step the breeding of the range cat
tie has been improved until the
steers now offered are well up in
the blood of the selected breeds.
The Herefords are the choice of
the Craig mountain cattlemen and
the shipment now ready to go out
OF Winchester will contain large
number of Hereford steers of as
fine a type as offered in any mar
[ets.
The price received is about the
same as has been offered for the
past several months and no ad-
vance is expected before well inj

Der of stockmen entertain the

rhe First Airship to Visit Prairie.

T;o,tenant KelsO, instructor a
10 California military flying fieis
dnring i the war, but now with tn
Snokane Aviation Co., flew from
1ppw;ston to this part of the coun
try m early last week. and after civ
no inc exhibition flights at tht
Grangeyille Border days, visited
most Of the towns on the hill and
showed what real flyer can do
He uses two-man Curtiss by
n1ane such as was employed in
the army service.
On Friday at noon he sailed into
Nezperce from Grangeville, and
IN the afternoon gave very good
exhibition of his prowess, making
several trips over the town and
vicinity and concluding his flight
with a somersault and dive to the
flying field at the eastern edge
of the city.
At this time the word went
araund that he was ready to make
passenger flights. and County At
torney G.. C. Pennell got aboard
.for the first tripEthe first ever
taken by citizen on Nezperce
Prairie. Trouble was experience
ed in getting away on this flight,
owing to the choppy wind and the
soft field, and second attempt
was necessary. But a good POI
minutes of straight flying was put |
in and the flyer and his passenger !
returned to terra firma without |
unusual incident. However, on
landing Lieut.. Kelso announced
that he would not attempt to car
ry other passengers because Of the
unfavorable air conditions and the
inadaptability of the field to pro-
per starting though there were
several who had adjusted their
earthly affairs, kissed their rela-
tives good bye and made all other
arrangements to take the trip.
In the evening Lieut. Kelso
made an extensive exhibit flight /
over the town and finished this
effort with several "flip-flops,
! nose-dive and tail-spin thrill
ers which left the hundreds who
the stunts well satisfied
hat the things aerial they had J
,een reading about could happen.
From this point. the Lieuten- {
mt went to Vollmer-Ilo and there
ave an exhibition Saturday af- $
ernoon and Sunday morning G
hence he went to Cottonwood
nd entertained the natives Of n
hat section Sunday afternoon t
nd evening, and returned thence t
0 Lewiston on Monday !
He is real flyer, with real /
hip, and the Prairie appreciates t

Our Friend.

She has gone to the beautiful and
bright,
Gone to her home above,
Where kinder arms than ours will
shield,
And fonder hearts will love.
She has gone and left us lonely
here;
No more we hear that sweet,
loved voice
OF our sainted sister dear.
We can see those precious seeds
she sowed
When walking with us here.
We miss her now at meetings
to share,
And vacant is her chair.
She is with her Father in the
skies.
Oh! These poor hearts of ours
are sad
And melancholy here.
We longsto meet in heaven above
With our friend and sister dear.
In memory of my dear friend,
Mrs. DeMoude.

Mrs. DeMoude Dies Suddenly.

i This community was shocked
and saddened last Friday morn
ing when the news was passed
about that Mrs. M. D. DeMoude
had passed away at 10:45 o'clock
the evening before. The end came
after an illness Of only three quar-
tiers of an hour duration known as
edema of the lungs congestion
brought on by a dilated condition
Of the heart
Mrs. DeMoude had been about
| her affairs as usual during the
day and her condition was normal
| at 10 O. clock. in the evening when
she retired. But shortly after this
the fatal attack set in and her hus-
band, who had been discussing the
events Of the day with her just q
few moments before, rendered
what assistance he could and then
called DR.. Taylor, and every hui
man effort was made to stay the
fatal result. when the sweet spirit
of one of the community 3 most
beloved matrons entered into the
realms of eternal peace.
The funeral service was con-
Quoted from the Brethren church
in this city at 2 D. M. Saturday,
by Elder B. j. Fike. and the
throng which attended to pay its
final tribute of respect overtaxed
the capacity of the church. In
the profession which escorted the
remains to their final resting
place in the Nezperce cemetery
were 35 cars. Here the burial SER
vice was conducted by the local
Rebekah lodge. of which order
the deceased was highly esteem
ed member.
Miss Agnes Horner was born
in Illinois in August. 1862, later
removing to Iowa. where she be-
came the wife Of s. 3. Smith. They
came west some 80 years ago, and
at the opening of this reservation
took homestead in the Winona
district in Idaho county. Some
thing over eight years ago they
disposed of their property there
and bought place just north of
this city, where they made their
home until Mr.. Smith g death,
two years and two mnnths ago.
Since that time she had made her
home in Nezperce, where on July
3rd, last, she was united in mar
riage to M. D. DeMoude. our pio-
neer druggist and one of the prai-
rie 5 most highly respected citi-
zens. This union was most hap
py one, and the twain were well
and comfortably settled to spend
the evening Of life as they each
deserved when this sad blow fell.
Mrs. DeMoude had long been
affiliated with the church, and
took an active part in church
work and her daily life was a
continuous dissemination of the
spirit of Jesus Christ. She was an
active and very popular member
Of the Rebekah and Neighbors Of
Woodcraft lodges, besides belong
ing to several social clubs.
Her life was that Of kindly,
gentle mother to all, and though
her form will be seen no more on
earth, her glorified soul will 60

If us who yet tarry here.
To Mr.. DeMoude and the other
members Of this bereaved family
The community extends it's hand
md heart in tenderest sympathy.
