The Joint community meeting
at Sunset last Friday was well at
tended in spite of the bad roads.
An excellent program was rem
dered b ythe pupils of the Senter,
Mohler, and Sunset schools, ana
the patrons Of the three districts
showed their enthusiasm for such
meetings by assisting in dialogues
and other numbers. The Sunset
orchestra played during both the
morning and afternoon programs
and received well deserved ap..
plause. Mrs. Albert Hartley, OF
Nezperce, talked to the boys and
girls in such an interesting man,
ner that the grown-ups listened
as eagerly as did the children.
Miss HOLES gave an interesting
talk on the work of the Red

talked briefly concerning needed
Legislation on school problems
One number Of the program re-

over $4,000 In Premiums; 100
Cars Stock. Show Much
Larger. All Now In
Readiness.

The great Northwest Live
Stock Show will open at Lewis
ton next Sunday, Nov. I, and will
he be- the center of attraction dur
mo- the following week for all
IN the Inland Empire interested
n the livestock industry and its
nropaeation id the Northwest.
Bert Savage, the well known
field representative Of the Show,
finished a strenuous prairie cam
naign for this big enterprise the
first of the week, and in enumer-
ating the features of this year s
show to a group Of Nezpercers at
the Nezperce Hotel last Saturday
evening, he said, premiums to the
amount Of $4,000 have been
hung up and the scope of the ex-
hibition has been much broaden
ed, the exhibits Of the boys and
the girls clubs from all contig-
uous territory being this year for
the first time made an important
feature Of the show.
He wished to make it especially
impressive that at this great as
semblage Of top-notch live stock
would be most opportune time
for those who are contemplating
increasing or replenishing their
herds, to buy particularly since
such stock can here be had at
most attractive prices.
He said: "The making Of the
Northwest Livestock show is now
practically completed and the
first shipments Of stock will
reach the show grounds the mid
die Of next week. Crews have
been busy at the grounds for the
past three weeks and on Sunday
the big tents will arrive and the
work of erecting the tented hous-
ings for the livestock will COM
mence early Monday.
The entries now on file in the
office of Secretary O. p, Hen
dershot show that fully 100
ears Of stock will be on the
grounds this year. The Spokane
show of 70 cars will reach Lew
iston today and at least 80 cars
will come from south idaho, Utah,
Colorado and other points.
"The barn space was filled
some time ago and the allotment
Of tent space then was commenc-
ed. At least four big tents will!
be used for the overflow. This
additional housing space suggests
the magnitude Of the show to be
opened to the public on Nov. Z
and the reports from all sections
give assurance Of a record atten-
dance this year. =

AT the present time Nezperce
has one Of the best equipped,
most comfortable and inviting
picture show houses in the coun-
try. but this is not enough. 1t is
going one better and getting on a
parity with the first-class city
theatres by the installation Of the
very latest idea in picture ma
chines--the Powers 6B Camera
graph. The manager. Miss Gass-
man, placed an order for one Of
these machines with a special rep
resentative of the company who
was in this city last week, and the
machine will be installed in about
two weeks.
This is the same type Of motion
picture projecting equipment the
new million dollar theatre in
Minneapolis is installing and that
is being used in all the larger
cities. 1t embraces all the latest
details for insuring clear,
smooth picture. The machine
now in use will be .remodeled so
that it too, will do excellent
work and will be used in relay
with the new outfit, whereby the

mated This latter feature alone
will be most gratifying i'm

ations, changes and additions
suggested by field experience
have been made, which bring thi
mechanism to a point where ]

ity."
Miss Gassman has gone to larg
expense to make these change
and give our community the at
vantages they bring, besides prt

that the community will continu
to show its appreciation OF thes

BY A LANDSLIDE.
Republican Tidal Wave Sweeps
Country. Congress Largely
Republican. Only Dixie
Left to Democrats
County Half and
Half.

Harding and Coolidge and the
Republican tickets in most all
states outside the solid south"
We're swept to victory in Tues
day election in one Of the most
decisive victories ever recorded,
the magnitude Of which can only
be realized when the final returns
are counted.
First reports indicated a gem
eral Republican victory and each
succeeding message but added to
its immensity. All states north
of the Mason and Dixon line seem
safely in the Republican fold, and
both branches Of congress are
strongly with the G. 0. P.
The latest report available to-
day gives the Republicans a ma
jority Of 10 in the upper and 100
in the lower house Of congress,
such cid landmarks as Champ
Clark, Of Missouri, being retired
to private life.
Today's report on the result in
idaho shows that it was a clean
sweep, and Senator Nugent,
whose election the Democrats felt
quite sanguin of, has gone down
with the rest. The GOO precincts
reported, out Of total Of 825,
give Gooding, Republican, 61,214,
and Nugent 81, $50. The same
precincts give Davis, the Republic
can candidate for governor, 61:-
269 and Walters, his Democratic
opponent, 81, 1,207.
In Lewis county the contest
was carried on spiritedly, local
conditions adding to the general
inclination Of the voter to exer-
else his franchise, and large
vote was polled; except in those
sections where many farmers
were kept afield in final effort
to finish their belated harvest be.

| There were several surprises in
the outcome here, circumstance
quite prevalent in this election,

| generally counted in the Demo-
cratic column heretofore, it fol-
i lowed the general trend and be-
| sides giving Harding and Cool
