START GRADING
FOR PAVING
Grading Started on Main Street
Monday Near the Creamery
For Paving.

Citizens of Cottonwood saw
actual work commence on the
paving movement when j. B. Nc
Gully, a road contractor put his
force of men and teams to work
grading up Main street for paw
ing. The work was commenced
short distance from the cream
cry and has been graded up to
practically the Madison Lumber
Co. at this writing. The hard
surfacing will perhaps not be
done this year owing to the late
ness of the season, but the city
council hopes to have practically
all grading completed this fall in
order that the hard surfacing
may be done early in the spring
as soon as the weather is favor
abl. One of the reasons for grad
ing now is to give the fills
ample time to settle.
At meeting of the city coun-
Gil Monday evening, the council
selected Mayor Peterson and
Councilman Baker to make a trip
to Lewiston, Moscow and Pull
man and get all available data
and information possible as to
the best form of paving. Mos
cow and Lewiston have several
different formulas that they US
ed in hard surfacing their
streets, it is stated and it is the
intention of these gentlemen to
obtain information from these
cities as to which is the best and
the cheapest in the long run
Mr.. Peterson and Mr.. Baker ex-
pect to leave on this mission
about the first of the week.
Fred Erskine, city engineer, is
this week busily engaged in OBJ
tanning figures as to the ap-
proximate cost of the paving.
AS stated above it is not pro-
bable that any of the hard sur
facing will be done this fall, but
should some of the important
matters in connection with the
proposition take an early forma-
ton it may be possible that some
of the hard surfacing might be
done.
Practically all of the business
men and property owners in the
city are anxious to see the paw
ing movement pushed as rapidly
as possible to an early compile
tion and it is the intention of the
city fathers to do this if advis-
able.
When the paving has been
completed it will become part of
the North and South state high
way, from the Cottonwood
Creamery where the paving will
commence up to Simon Bros.
corner and then to the DR.. Orr
corner and from here the road
leading out of the city limits will
be macadamized.

We are proud, immensely proud, Of
the fact that the establishment Of
American ideals has been made the
primary purpose of the war, and that
they are to be the essential principles
of peace. We are proud that it was
given TO us to become the deciding
factor In the glorious conclusion. But
we must remember that we have but
shared in the work, says St. Louis
Globe-Democlat. We must not detract
one Wilt from the splendor of other
achievements. We must not forget
that each and every nation has played
its part nobly in the struggle. We
must not forget the tremendous sacri-
fees besides which ours are but little.
We must not forget the inyincible
spirit that maintained an unbroken
front through years Of awful anguish.

The acting prime minister of Can.
ada, Sir Thomas White, says that if
those who have conspired against the
peace of the world and under whose
direction brutalities of ~inconceivable
barbarity have been perpetrated in
subversion of the law Of nations and
of humanity, are not brought to pun
ishment for their monstrous crimes.
it will be the greatest failure Of retri.
Dutive justice in the annals of history.
In this he is voicing the feeling and
sentiment of the entire civilized world,
the central nations being excepted
from such a category.

Erzberger asked Marshal Foch If
the allies had no consideration for
Germany. 1t is part Of the psychol-

could expect consideration from the
men whose lands they had ravaged,

treachery and atrocity of every kind,

 New Orleans, August 11.-After mak- ing advances of E to 35 points in the early trading today cotton fell off. to the extent of over five dollars bale on the most active months under sell ing encouraged by the Mexican situa- ton and a continued unfavorable opin- ion of the ultimate effects of the agi- tation over the high cost of living. After the initial buying was over the market got little support from any di- rection. At it's lowest it was 63 to 76 points under the close of last week. Last prices showed net losses of 59 to e6 points. Octoher traded at 32.07 at it's best and at 31.02 at it's lowest.
 The buying on the opening was due to rains in the central and eastern portionS f4he belt and to fear that the hurricane reported in tropical waters would move in the direction of the cot ton belt. Private repvl, .> -rding the condition of the crop were unfavorable le and the official forecast predicted more rain in the eastern belt. As the session progressed less attention was paid to

Shannon X Co.'s Letter

New York. August 11.-There have been few days of late when the volume or general business has been so small as today and the market has been corre- spondngly thin and sensitive. A certain amount of hedging has been noted and wires from New Orleans said that it was in evidence there as well, but the greater of what selling has been going on has represented efforts of ninble local trad CTS to scalp a profit for the day and the rallies have mostly reflected their en- deavors to secure what they could get rather than any genuine demand. Cot ton people here from the South are very positive that holders will not get their price and that way will be found to store the cotton when the movement sets in
 There is not quite so much nervousness over outside conditions, but buyers are cautious after their recent experiences and inclined to look carefully before getting in Weather advices are better, spot demand is light at the moment and the atmosphere is one of hesitation. Ex- ports were 1000 bales.-Post & Flagg.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-08-12

under the close of last week. The Mexi- can situation and the continued agitation over the high cost of living were the principal things back of the selling.
 part of the early demand was due to the wet weather in the central and eastern belts and part of it was due to fear of the hurricane in the tropical wa ter.
 Crop accounts from all directions were distinctly unfavorable and comparing private reports with those of week ago distinct falling off in the condition is seen. Insect damage still is increasing and we now expect mention of the boil weevil to be one of the most prominent features in the condition report of Au- gust 25.-Last sales were . points off net-Shepard & Gluck.
