Antiskid chains must not be applied
tightly to the tires, as so many car
owners do to eliminate the clinking of
the loose chain against the fender.
Tight chains cut the tire badly. Fur
ther, the chains should be inspected at
frequent intervals and any cross links
that have become worn or have devcl,
oped sharpness should be replaced.

LESS SMUT IN LEWIS co.

According to a test made in
Lewis county, similar to the one
made in Idaho county last week,
to determine the percentage OF
smut existing in Lewis county
wheat, the test shows that a
fraction less than 4 per cent OF
the winter wheat was smut as
compared with 18 per cent in
Idaho county.
Since the conditions of the two
Counties are so near the same,
it is quite certain that after four
years of work, the Farm Bureau
of Lewis County is at least on
the right road to smut control.
Farmers of the county are in
vited by John Finley, county
agent, to visit the Farm Bureau
office in the Court house at
Grangeville and see the results
of some of their work.

returned from France where he
was in the service of Uncle Sam
nearly two years, has accepted
a position with the Cottonwood
Hardware Co., of this city. Jess

at Nezperce. His many friends
in Cottonwod are glad to learn

MORE STOCK
is SHIPPED
Beef Steers Bring $40 and Hogs
S21.50 Per Hundred
Pounds

Salmon river cattle and Camas
Prairie hogs demanded the top
prices Monday when a shipment
valued at $4,000 was sent out.
The beef steers brought $40 and
the hogs were sold for $21.5O per
hundred.
The shipment consisted of IL
cars of cattle and one car of hogs
The largest cattle shipper was
ID. +. Van Pool, of the Salmon
river country, who had 80 head
in the lot. Mrs. E. A. Lancaster
also of the Salmon river, had 81
head in the shipment while
others making up the lot were !:
Pick Chamberlain, l.. S. Kelly,
John huffman and E. Schroeder.
Seven cars of the cattle
bought by the Farmers Union
went to Armour & Company,
Spokane, and four cars bought
by the Cottonwood Milling Co.,
went to Frye & Company Seattle
The shipment Tuesday was
about as large as the one sent
out from Cottonwood last week
and there is perhaps no point In
the central Idaho county that
sends more livestock to marker
than this station. Ever since
the railroad was put in opera
tion, Cottonwood has endeavored
to provide such facilities for the
stockmen as would secure recog-
milton and a large section of the
Salmon river country makes Cot
tonwood its regular shipping
point. The farmers of this sec
ton early realized the value of
hogs as a by-product of the
farms and long before the rail
road was constructed, the farm
ers drove large bands of hogs to
a railroad at Kooskia and Sites.
The advantages offered by home
shipments when the railroad
tapped the prairie, stimulated
hog raising and for years this
station has held the record for
the entire central Idaho country
on hog shipments.

E. L. Parker and family ex-
pect to remove to Lewiston
about the first of September.
Mr.. Parker, when he sold his
interest in the store contem-
plated to make Cottonwood his
future home, but owing to his
health, has decided that the
lower climate might prove more
beneficial to him, and so de-
cided to make the change. They
intend to move to Lewiston
just in time to put the children
in school. Mr.. Parker still re-
tains his interests here. Their
many friends here hope that the
change will prove beneficial for
Mr.. Parker's ailment and while
it is our loss, Lewiston will gain
materially, by the contemplated
change. While a resident OF
Cottonwood Mr.. Parker was
honored by the people of the
state of Idaho with the second

er to give, that of Lieutenant

Cannon HARYEST eRoP.

Having produced a good crop
of wheat and then being unable
to harvest it with wheat worth
So per bushel Is the novel situa-
tion confronting K. c. Qualey,
pioneer farmer, who has lived in
Latah county for 80 years says
the Moscow Star Mirror. He ap-
pealed to the prosecuting attor-
ney and the county commission
ers for relief. Neither were able
to offer him any assistance and
he was referred to the highway
commissioners. These, also fail
ed to give relief and he is in
consultation with well-known
firm of leading attorneys. 1t is
likely that action in the courts
will follow. Were the war stin
in progress the council of de-
Tense would be able to secure
the harvesting of the crop under
its authority to save food, but
the council of defense no longer
exists.
Mr.. Qualey says that he has
owned 80 acres of land for II
years. Nine years ago he
bought an additional 40 acres
which corners with his original
80 acres. He says he asked
permission of the man whose
land adjoins his, to make an
opening and put in a gate so that
he can get into his 10 acre field.
This, he says, was granted and
for nine years he has been doing
this, He planted a crop OF
wheat and it is now "dead ripe"
to use his own words, but the
neighbor has fastened up the
gate and forbids him to go
through the fence to his grain.
His appeal for rescue for his
wheat crop has been unavailing
unless the law firm with whom
he is consulting now, can give
him relief or secure a way OF
getting into his field.
"The only way / can cut the
grain is by crawling under the
fence and cutting it with a
scythe, but cannot haul it out
or get a threshing machine in
there to save it." said Mr..
Quailey, who looked haggard
and worn when talking. He
says he has slept but little for
several nights and does not
know what to do. He said that
the prosecuting attorney and
the commissioners stated they
had no authority to do anything
in the matter. The case is a
novel and interesting one.

WILL VISIT IDAHO COUNTY

Col. Theodore Roosevelt, ,Jr.,
son of the late Theodore Roose-
welt, will be the guest of Cover
nor Davis on a big game hunt
in the most inaccessible country
in the state, above Warren in
Idaho county, some time in Sep
tember. The party will be guild
ed by Gus N. Sindt, Warren
man, and we'll known trapper
and hunter who is thoroughly
acquainted with the Warren
hunting grounds.
It. is understood that the party
will consist Of other prominent
men beside Governor Davis and
Col. Roosevelt.
An abundance of mountain
goats, deer, bear and elk are in
the Warren country, back in the
Salmon river regions, and it is
generally considered that this
section is one of the widest and
best big game sections in the
United States. The party will
probably pack through the
Thunder Mountain country.

SURVEYORS
START WORK
Commenced Permanent Survey
of North and South
Highway.

Nine state surveyors, headed
by Carlos Gillespie, arrived in
Cottonwood Monday evening to
commence work on surveying
the North and South state high
way from Cottonwood to Voll-
mer by the way of Ferdinand.
The survey made by these engf-
neers will be permanet and will
be used as the connecting link
between north and south Idaho.
The surveyors commence work
in Cottonwood and will grad
ually work their way to Vollmer,
Carlos Gillespie, is in charge of
the surveyors here, and stated
that it will require about a
month or six weeks to complete
the work. Much of this time,
however will not be required on
the field but will be taken up in
office work by the crew in pre-
pairing the necessary data re-
quired by the state before a
contract will be let for actual
construction of the road.
The North and South road
passing through this section of
the country is under the direc-
ton Of R. L. Ewing, state eng1-
neer, who has opened up offices
in Lewiston.
The party of surveyors who
arrived in Cottonwood the first
of the week will make Cotton
wood their headquarters and
have opened up offices in the
building next to the Pacific
Telephone office.
The actual location of the
North and South highway,
which was decided definitely, at
Boise some four weeks ago will
soon be a reality and as soon as
the necessary data has been
secured, no doubt the state will
call for bids for the actual con-
struction of this road.

morning when the old walks
were torn out from the Cotton

INDIANS HELD
MEMORIAL
Give Away Trinkets to Friends
Valued at Thousands
of Dollars

Memorial services in honor of
Yellow Bull, an aged Indian, who
died at Spalding, Idaho, last
week was held at Red Rock
Springs a few miles from Cot
tonwood Tuesday by some 200
Indians who had gathered from
Lapwai, Kamiah, Kooskia Sites
and surrounding country to fit
tingly commemorate the occa-
sion in regular old time Indian
fashion.
Yellow Bull, who was SO years
of age at the time of his death,
during the Indian wars of 1877
was one of Chief Joseph's head
men and was captured by Cen
eral Miles. Of late years Yellow
Bull has been blind and he was
tenderly taken care of by his
wife.
The ceremonies started with a
big dinner at noon in which the
Indians as we'll as a large num-
ber of whites participated.
After dinner, Red Elk dressed
in Yellow Bulls favorite Co.'S
tune led a horse also beauti-
fully decorated to a tent in
which were all the belongings Of
Yellow Bull such as handsome
blankets, gloves, beaded work
and hundreds of other trinkets.
These we're all given away by his
widow assisted by several others
to the Indians who were present.
These trinkets are valued at
thousands of dollars.
BY a will, made by Yellow
Bull, several articles were des-
ignated to go to certain Indians
who were personal friends of
his during his life. James Stew
art received the tomahawk
which the chief used in the. wars
of 1877. James Stewart, who is
a highly educated Indian after
receiving the most valuable
souvenir stated that some years
ago he was at the home of the
dead warrior and at this time
remarked to Yellow Bull when
he died he wanted the tomahawk
which he received Tuesday.
1t is a custom that no one
shall leave the premises without
receiving some kind of a gift to
remember the dead chief or lead
er. Leaders of the ceremonies
stated that some years ago a
fire destroyed a number of his
belongings and there were not
enough to go around to the
white people who had gathered
to take in the ceremonies. The
white women therefore were
then called into a tent and eacn
one was given a silver dollar to
remember the chief by. Tom
Parker who was present at the
ceremonies was also given 3
handsome remembrance. By g
special request of his widow,
Simon Bros, of Cottonwood, who
were unable to be present were
sent in a remembrance, his wild
ow stating to the bearer of the
same that "Simon Bros. have
been good to Yellow Bull"
The giving away of the
souvinerS closed the ceremonies
Nezperce Indians, of which Yel'
low Bull, was one of their numb
er, have been gathering for this
occasion for the past week from
various sections of the country
and it was an event long to bt
remembered by the Indians, az
well as the whites, who attended
the ceremonies.

Chicago, Aug. 2S-The SIS hog
$1.5N near the slender purse Of the
high cost Of living victim, made its
appearance i'm the Chicago stock yards
today. His advent was Immediately
followed by a slump in provisions
and grain as we'll as live cattle and
sheep. Meat products on the Board
OF Trade decreased sharply in price
but the declines were not evident I'm
the retail market
Corn and oats felt the effect Of the
hog and provisions decline, but. butter
eggs and poultry in large or small
amounts were unaffected by the stock
yards drop.
A continuance Of the decline in live
hog prices was looked for. BY traders,
who pointed out that $4,000 of the
$4,000 animals received at the stock
yards today were unsOld and that
$4,000 more were expected to arrive
before the opening tomorrow. Cattle
OF the higher grades were 25 cents
less per hundredweight and sheep
and lambs were fully so cents cheap
en-
The drop i'm hog prices was the
greatest since 1907 and traders who
look for still lower figures pointed
out that Eastern storage houses are
believed to be already crowded with
meat products, leaving only a
domestic outlet.
