And would their Christian duty do,
The world would seem TO hear again
Sweet peace o. earth, good will to nsal

Or break the linls Of sorrow's chain.

A man who was house hunting dis
covered the kind Of home he wanted.
The door was opened by pretty par

servant problem, he said:
"And are you to be let with the

"No," answered the maid; "f you

ROADS IN IDAHO & CLEAR
WATER COUNTIES.

Bids involving the expendi-
ture of $344,000 for the con-
struction of two important high
way projects in Idaho were ac-
cepted at Missoula yesterday at
the district headquarters of the
bureau of public roads, two
Spokane contractors being the
successful bidders.
The bid of the Stems & Carl
son company of $157,00 was the

road will be approximately 9.9
miles and the work must be CON-
pleted in 200 weather working
days following the execution OF
the contract by the secretary OF

followed the course of deep ra-
vines from the range of steep
hills that crowd close to the river
line. The fruit ranches in most
instances occupy bars that have
formed during the years by the
washing of decayed basalt down
the ravines. White Brothers &
Crum suffered a loss of 100000
The entire fruit crop on their
Alpowa ranch, IL miles below
Lewiston and COMPRISING peach
es, pears and prunes, is lost, the
result of hail. At Bishop, IL
acres of orchards were ruined at
their place, being covered with
stone carried from the hillside.
The waters rushed through the
ranch house, carrying out win
dows and covering the floors
with debris. At the firms
Wawawai ranch considerable
damage was done, but the full
extent is not known at this time.
Railroad Is Hard Hit
The Camas Prairie Railroad
company has suffered a damage
between Wilma and Bishop that
will represent at least $4,000 in
reconstruction and the road will
be closed to travel for at least
ten days. There are 33 rock
and mud wash-overs in the fif-
teen miles between Wilma and
Bishop and a survey made yes
terday shows there are $500
feet of tract that is covered to an
average depth of five feet. There
are six cuts where the construc-
tion of temporary tracts will be
necessary and much repair work
will be necessary between the
wash-overs.
The information received by
the railroad company yesterday
from station employees and tract
workers is that two storms
struct the lower river country
One storm broke near Wilma
ten miles below Lewiston, and
the other struct near Bishop ant
followed the north breaks of the
Snake river for several miles
then diverging toward Moscow
and Pullman.
The railroad company ha:
been unable to receive reports o.
the property loss of fruit grow
ers and ranches of the lowe
river, but has been advised
that many of the ranches hav,
been practically ruined.

LAID TO REST

The remains of Mrs. Anthia
Huff who died at her home in
Brady, Montana was laid to rest
in the Cottonwood cemetery
Monday. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Marion Sligar
at the cemetery. A. H. Nau was
in charge of the funeral arrange
ments.
In regard to the death of Mrs.
Huff, who at one time was a
resident of this section, a Brady
paper published in her home
town, has the followinO to say:
This community was shocked
Tuesday noon to learn of the
sudden death of Mrs. Anthia
Huff, at her home six miles east
of Brady from heart trouble.
During the morning she seemed
perfectly well and came in from
the garden at noon, and saying
few words to the children in
the room, sank into her arm
chair and passed quietly into the
other realm.
Thus passed one of the best of
women. A good mother, helpful,
optimistic, cheerful. A hard
worker not only for her own
family but of late bringing up
and educating a family of young
grandchildren. 1t will be these
young children that will miss her
motherly care in the days to
come.
The deceased was born in
Martin county, Ind. May l, 1862
Was married to Martin V. Huff
ST., a Civil War veteran in 1886
and in 1881 they moved to Mis-.
souri,. In 1902 the family NOV.
ed to Cottonwood, Idaho. The
husband died in September 1905
and since May 10, 1917, the de
ceased has resided on her farm
east of Brady. She was the
mother of nine children, six ot
whom survive her, Chester A.

DAHO'S WONDER CANYON

THE great Salmon river can
yon is little thought of by those
who live here as the greatest in
denture of the earth's crust but
this is true" said j. B. Eldridge,
vice president of the Idaho State
Mining association, in his ad-
dress to that body at Boise last
week.
"Of all the great canyons
known to exist, the canyon of
the Salmon river is the most
wonderful. 1t may not be gen.
orally known, but it is a fact
that the mountains of central
Idaho along the Salmon river
country are the highest noun
tains of the Rocky mountain
range.
"They do not ascend to the
altitude that some others attain
but counting the highest of those
great, rough peaks from the base
they rest upon, we find the most
rugged and high and the most
precipitous mountains of the
Rocky mountain range right
here in Idaho. The base upor
which these great mountains
rest is only at an altitude ol
from 5000 TO $500 feet, though
they rise to height of NOR,
than 10000 feet, while the higf
mountains of Colorado start will
a base of from 5000 to 800'
feet"

Some time ago the Catholic
Women's League offered a prize
of $25 to any eighth grade boy
OF girl of the Is parochial
schools of Idaho, who would
write the best essay on Cath
olic War Activities in our Par
ish." Naturally the ID boys and
girls of the graduating class of
st. Joseph's School in Cotton
wood entered the contest and the
following is the judges report !:
1--WE wish to submit the follow
ing report to the Catholic Wo-
mems League in regard to- the
essays ca Catholic War Work
in our Parish, which were sent
in from the Catholic parishes in
Idaho:
"To Jack Dunning, of st. JOS
eph's School, Boise, Idaho, was
given the unanimous vote of the
committee for having the best
essay. The committee sincerely
regretted that there was not a
second prize offered, which
would have been given to John
Jenny, of st. Joseph's School
Cottonwood, Idaho. The vote
on this essay was also unani-
NOUS"
The judges were eighth grade
public school teachers, and only
one of them was a resident OF

Congratulations to John who
was but IA years old, and oul
best wishes that all his future
enterprises may terminate as
successfully.

LOST GOOD ONE.

Cottonwood lost, what many
consider to have been the best
game played thus far in the
prairie league Sunday, to Win
chester when it took IL innings
to decide the winner. The play
ing of the home boys was almost
perfect, only two errors beng
made by Cottonwood during the
game. Rookie and Schurman,
who did the battery work for
Cottonwood are deserving of
special mention. When a team
plays ball like like the home boys
did Sunday they are entitled to
win. But no such luck for Cot
tonwood. Never-the less the
home fans, while wanting to win
have no bones to pick on loosing
a game of this kind.

STORM DAMAGE
OVER A MILLION
LEWISTON RIPARIA LINE
BE CLOSED FOR AT LEAST
TEN DAYS
(Lewiston Tribune)


The rain, hail and wind storm
developing early Tuesday even
ing caused grain damage con-
servatively estimated at a mil
lon dollars in the western half of
Asotin county. The district de-
vastated embraces what is
known as the Asotin flat, upper
Peola and Cloverland districts,
embracing an erea seven and
one-half by fifteen miles.
Two farmers alone lost crops
of the value of $185, 900, w. j.
Houser a brothers of NJ. M.
Houser, Portland grain dealer,
lost 1,600 acres, the crop being
vaued at over $125,000. On his
place water rushed through a
barn six feet and gangplows
were carried a great distance
William Jones had 900 acres in
crop and his loss is over $50, 900.
He drove today over his place in
an automobile and was able to
find only a few heads of unshat-
tered grain. This corp was
about ready for harvest and no
portion of it will make hay, even
the stalks being shattered. In
his summer fallow field adjoin-
ing, which was of meshy surface
Just before the storm, the soil is
now packed like the infield of a
+ baseball ground. A conserva-
tive estimate had placed this
crop at 80 bushes an acre.
Neither Houser nor Jones carri-
ed hail insurance. Many farm
ers of the devasted district car
ried insurance up to the total
limit of $40 an acre but the gross
insurance is not known at this
time, although S250,000 had
been checked up in the after
noon.
Mr.. Jones has falmed in that
district for 80 years and report
ed this was the first hail dam
age he had suffered.
Mrs. Jones was much distress
