ALBERT NAU INJURED.

Tuesday morning Albert Nau
and his sister, Mrs. Rose Kuther
drove up in front of Mrs. M.
Meakin's residence with a four
horse team and unloaded some
furniture that Mrs. Meakin had
purchased at the auction sale.
For some reason the horses took
fright and in an effort to control
them Mr.. Nau dropped a line.
The horses made a short turn
around, nearly upsetting the
load; both he and Mrs. Kuthel'
jumped, landing in the muddy
streets. The lady apparently
escaped injury, but Mr.. Nau
badly sprained his ankle, and fol
a time was very faint. He was
carried into the hotel, where DR..
c. E. Alcorn attended him, and
later he was taken to his home.

BREAKS IDAHO RECORD.


Idaho Violet Posch Ormsby
337275, a Holstein bred and own
ed by the University of Idaho,
produced last year on advanced
registry test 21,399.0 pounds of
milk and SO0.97 pounds of butter
fat, a record that places her
among the highest producing
cows of the northwest and of
the country. At the compile
tion of her record, which has
been a long and steady grind,
she was in excellent condition,
weighing 1445 pounds. During
the record she stood in the STAN
chion beside the other cows and
received the same care and at
tention as the remainder of the
herd. Perhaps one of the most
striking features of her record
is the fact that last year on pri-
vate test she produced 21,417.6
pounds of milk and 1866
pounds of butterfat and had on
ly a month rest between the re-
cords.

FAVOR HOSPITAL.

Since the first announcement
several weeks ago that plans
were under way for securing a
hospital for Cottonwood much
favorable comment has been
heard in favor of the movement.
We were in hopes that we would
be able to make some definite
announcement of the commit
tees plans this week, but owing
to the bad weather the commit
tee has not been able to get to-
gether. Everyone that has
been approached in the matter
of a hospital has expressed him
self as heartily in favor of the
same and no doubt the necessary
financial support will be secured
by a little united effort put
forth by the people of Cotton
wood and vicinity. The COM
mittee has plans for enlisting
the united support of every man,
woman and child of Cottonwood
as well as the farmers of the
surrounding country and by all
doing just a little the thing can
be accomplished so easily that
we will wonder why it wasn't
done before.
If Cottonwood is to keep step
with other progressive towns
and has at heart the welfare of
the community we cannot afford
to pass by this opportunity to
assist those of our citizens who
have undertaken the work of or
ganization and are working hard
for this worthy cause. Let's
all get in and boost, if we wait
till you are flat on your back
and have to be sent somewhere
else to a hospital you'll be 8
booster alright but it will be toe
late. Let us do it now.
