BISHOP TO VISIT ROME.

The Rt. Rev. Daniel M. Cor
man, Catholic bishop of Idaho,
left Wednesday for New York
city, where he will meet Bishop
Carroll of Helena, life long
friend, and together they will
sail on April 20 for Rome where
they will give their reports in
person of their dioceses to the
Holy See.
The year 1920 has been desig-
mated as the year in which the
Catholic bishops of America will
make their decennial visit to the
Holy See. Every bishop who
can so arrange his affairs is ex-
pected to make his report in per-
son.
Realizing the amount of work
to be done in his own diocese in
completing the cathedral, Bishop
German suggested to Archbish-
op Christie of Seattle, that it
might be well for him to make
his report by letter but the arch
bishop urged that he go in per-
son.
This will be Bishop Gorman's
first visit abroad but he expects
to return almost Immediately.

HANNON TO
HEAD SCHOOL
FOUR TEACHERS HAVE
SIGNED UP FOR THE
COMING YEAR.

j. V. Harmon, principal of the
high school during the present
term of the Cottonwood Public
school, has been selected by the
school board as superintendent
Tor the coming year at a salary
of $500.
The position was again offer
ed by the board to w. A. Lustie
who has capably conducted the
schools for the past four years.
Mr.. Lustie has accepted a simi-
lar position at Nyssa, Oregon
for the coming year.
Besides Mr.. Harmon, Miss
Harriet Hanson, the domestic
science teacher is the only other
member of the high school fac
ulty who will return to Cotton
wood next year. Miss Helen
Sully having decided to teach
elsewhere.
In the grades, Miss Laurena
Rawson and Miss Lennie Rut-
ledge have signed contract to
teach here next year, leaving
two vacancies, that of Miss Hol-
Ian and Miss Jessie Wardrobe.
At the present time there re-
mains four positions to be filled
by the school board as follows: /:
Principal of the high school, a
teacher for mathematics and
language in the high school, a
teacher for the first and second
grades. a teacher for the fifth
and sixth grades.
The board, no doubt, will ex-
perience little difficulty in fill
ing these vacancies as they have
several applications on file at the
present time.
Taken all in all, the school
year has been a most successful
ono and that all of the teachers
did splendid work is a well
known fact, which the board as
well rs the public appreciated
and showed their appreciation
by re-electing the entire teach
ing staff at an advance in salary.
q
1t is our opinion that Mr.. HAN
non will keep the school un to its
present standard and with his
experience as principal of the
high school he has gained first
local conditions that will be of
GREAT value to him in promoting
the interests Of the school.

MORRIS IS HELD

The preliminary examination
of Fred Morris, charged with
robbing the post office and store
at Fem about ten days ago, was
conducted Friday of last week
at Grangeville and the defendant
was held to the district court for
trial. He is at liberty on bonds
in the amount of 81, 900 furnish
ed by Roy Nail and John Cham
berlain to answer for the appear
ance of the defendant before the
district court.
The defendant was represent
ed by Attorney Z. M. Griffith
but no testimony was offered by
the defense, the defendant, how
ever, maintaining that he is in
nocent of any participation in
the robbery.
Fred Morris was taken into
custody the morning following
the robbery because tracks in
the snow led from the bunk
house on a nearby ranch to the
Weber store and fresher tracts
led from the store to the bunk
house, suggesting the party
making the trip was about the
store for a considerable period
and that a snow storm prevailed
during that period. 1t was also
learned that Morris was absent
from the bunkhouse during the
evening when the farmer for
whom he was working went to
the bunkhouse in search of him
The state used a number of
witnesses today but the facts
brought out were intended to
only show that a robbery has
been committed and that the
circumstances pointed toward
Morris as the guilty party. The
state is represented by Prosecut-
ing Attorney B. Anger.

would give southern Idaho ship
pers to deliver their products to
the four transcontinental rail-
roads of north Idaho, particular
ly those, running direct to Du-
luth and other Great Lakes
ports.
1t points out that Lewiston is
a river port and that freight
rates to Portland could be reduc-
ed by making possible rail ship
ment from south Idaho to Lew
iston and water shipment from
Lewiston to the coast.
1t asks the extension on be.
half of the Camas Prairie and 7.
& |. N. railroads, alleging that
they are now only stub lines
scarcely able to exist whereas
the extension would revitalize
them and make them important.
Idaho State of Long Hauls.
The state explains further
that Idaho is so located geogra-
phically as to compel extremely
long hauls to market while the
proposed line would open to
southern Idaho a large market
for her products, especially in
Spokane and other Washington
centers.
After going at length into
these explanations, the state
makes its request in these
words: Complainant prays that
said defendants may be sever
ally required to appear and an
swer complainant's complaint
and that after due hearing and
investigation an order be made
by the commission requiring
said defendants, Northern Pac-
ific Railway company and the
Camas Prairie Railroad company
to extend their lines from the
line operating between Lewiston
and Grangeville, Idaho. to New
Meadows. Idaho. and that such
other and further order or or
ders be made as the commission
may consider proper in the
premises.
What Will Project Cost?
What will the project cost?
This natural question presented
by the states action is answered
in a paper prepared by the public
utilities commission OH May 81,
1915 when a special report on
the feasibility of the proposition
was made to Governor Alexand-
er. A copy of this report is be-
ing sent to Washington with the
complaint.
1t sets forth that the line
could be completed at S75, 900
per mile,not including cost of op-
Grating equipment. a total cost
of about seven million dollars.
In this connection it is pointed
out that the P. & |. N. railroads
construction cost $4,000 per
mile while the Idaho Northern,
through comparable country,
cost S2E 600 nor mile
