women involved worked in a
hotel at Craignnont and were un-
der suspicion of stealing $100 in
currency from a lodger, but evil
dence available was insufficient
to maintain a case. At that
time it seems Taylor and Hendry
had the auto cached in a hay
stack and went to the Genital
ridge section where they worked
for period Cor a farmer named
Senters. One night they disap-
peared after five gallons of gas
oline were surreptiously taken
from the Senters place. Then
it seems that the four in the auto
appeared in the Whitebird coun-
try. apparently en- route to
southern Idaho, but were re-
puired to turn back when they
found the road was not open.
Still later they were seen near
Whitebird by Lewiston parties
VINO are acquainted with Taylor
and Hendry. The latest ad-
vices show they appeared at
Fem Wednesday night and
bought five gallons of gas, stat
ing that they had a 75-mile trip
to make. That night it was
raining, and tracing the car, the
officers found that it had col
lided with a telephone pole near
Fem, but evidently was not put
out of commission for it could
not be found in the vicinity.
The parties who took the car
are still at large and are evading
the officers of the law, which up
to the present time they have
been successful in doing.

POSED FOR PICTURE.

For the first time in history,
a pope has posed for the motion
picture camera. Not only was
permission granted for the film
ing of scenes in Lourdes chapel
grounds but Pope Benedict Sum-
day took a leading part, posing
for various groups and then for
"close ups" and expressing
much amusement at the persist
ence of the Americans photo
graphers who went within four
feet of the pontiff and snapped
him, smiling, into the camera.
This occurred after the pope
had concluded mass to the visit
ing American Knights of Colum-
bus in the open vatican gardens
and had given holy communion
personally to each knight. Vat
lean officials were amazed that
the pope appeared in these
scenes for about 20 minutes.
which proved to be the most
complete pictures ever taken of
vatican ceremonies.

CONTRACTOR GETS RAISE.

The city council in session
Monday evening gave Peter
Book, the contractor for the ce.
ment walks a raise of 6 cents a
square foot for constructing the
cement walks in Cottonwood.
The walks were formerly put in
for 90 cents a square foot, while
hereafter property owners will
have to pay 35 cents.
Owing to the fact that Mr..
Book had signed no contract for
constructing the walks at 29c
a square foot, when asked to sign
a contract for the above figures
refused to do so on the rounds
that he could make no money on
these figures, and that since Of
fering to do the work at 29c a
square foot cement had raised %
per cent, sand 25 per cent and
likewise the new freight sche-
dule is also in effect.
Even at the new figures Cot
tonmood is getting her walks
constructed at a lower cost than
Craigmont. where the property
owners pay 40 cents a square
foot in Ilo and AZ C in Vollmer.
Mr.. Book will sign a contract
with the city at 35 cents and also
give bonds.

MARK BATTLE GROUND.

The White Bird battle ground,
near White Bird, scene of the
memorable battle between Unit
ed States soldiers and Chief
Joseph's Indians on June II,
1877, is to be definitely marked
by a memorial in the form of a
granite shaft six feet in height,
on the line of the Grangeville-
White Bird highway, now near
ing completion. The bones of a
cavalry officer were uncovered
while grading for the new high
way and were identified by spurs
belt buckle and other articles.
Chiseled upon the shaft will be
inscribed Before you and to the
westward lies the historic White
Bird battle ground. where 35
men gave up their lives in SER
vice for their country June II,
1877. Beneath this shaft lies
one of the brave men, laid to
rest where he fell"

ON ANNUAL OUTING.

Ten O'Clock Tuesday morning
six Camp Fire Girls accom-
panied by their guardian and her
assistant, Mrs. Sligar and Miss
Rink, starting for their long
postponed outing. They an
rived at their camping site in
time for dinner.
The first afternoon they were
kept busy putting their camp to
rights, gathering wood and other
duties pertaining to camp life.
They then made out their sche-
dule appointing four girls to do
X. p. and four others to carry
wood and water alternately.
After supper a monsterous
bon fire was built around which
they all sang and roasted marsh
mellows until the forest echoed
and re-echoed with their joyful
shouts.
Breakfast at 9 and with it the
discovery that the eggs had been
left behind. Five girls hiked ~
Hussman's mill and explored
the old buildings and returned in
time for dinner. In the after
noon three girls hiked to the top
of old baldy and if anyone is
curious to know who he can find
their initials somewhere there

DR.. Shinnick and Mrs. Minis
called that evening with the mis-
sing eggs and stayed for supper,
they both proclaimed the girls TO
be excellent cooks
A fine drizzle commenced
about 8 and continued to grow
heavier until it became regular
downpour. The girls had brought
only fly with them and it duti-
fully commenced to leak until
one bed could not be distinguish
ed from a small pond, so the
three girls in that bed had to
sit up, about 2:30 the watchers

PRAISE NEW COURT HOUSE.

Most everyone, from the west
side of the county who has been
at Grangeville recently, and in
spected the new court house at
the county seat speak very high
ly of the new edifice, and one
that Idaho county can well feel
proud of. The present board of
county commissioners purchased
the building from the school
district at Grangeville and after
having it remodeled, the county
officers removed into the same
early this spring. Since then,
the BUILDING has been painted
and the grounds about it improv-
ed until it now makes a fine APP
pearance for the city of Grange
vile as we'll as for the best coun-
ty in the state.
The old court house has been
considered a fire trap for some
time and many of the officers
were cramped for room as well
as sufficient vault space to prop
erly take care of their valuable
papers. We believe the COM
missioners made a wise move
when they purchased the new
site, as to build a new home foi
the county officers would have
cost the taxpayers many times
the money expended in buying
and remodeling the old school
building with no better results
The present building will be
able to care for the wants OF
Idaho county for many years to
come.
In speaking of the new court
house Judge Scales on his last
visit in Grangeville said: "Idaho
county now has the best court
room in the 10th Judicial dist.
rict."

ELLER LOCATES STOLEN CAR NEAR
WESTLAKE; THIEVES GET AWAY

Sheriff "Bill" Eller, Friday
evening located the Oldsmobile
eight, near Westlake, said to
have been stolen from Lewiston
Aug. II by Jake Taylor and II.
N. Hendry, after a search of
several days which took the Of
ficers to different parts of the
county. The Lewiston Tribune
of Saturday gave the following
account of the affair in which
the sheriffs of Nezperce, Lewis
and Idaho counties took part. 1t
read as follows:
Two men and two women are
playing 'hide and seek" with the
officers of Idaho, Lewis and Nez
Perce counties. 1t appears that
the quartette sought comprises
Jake Taylor and H. N. (Red)
Hendry and two women compan-
ions, names unknown. They
are under suspicion of being the
persons who on the night OF Aug.
II stole an Oldsmobile from
Frank White, the car disappear
ing from a point on F street,
Lewiston, at time when Mr..
White had left the auto for
brief period to visit the carnival
shows then exhibiting at the
public school grounds.
The car had originally been
owned by Marsh Wright and
bore the license tag number of
COG. 1t appears that the car
was taken from Lewiston to the
lilo locality and was seen there
with the license number reversed
to make the showing of 909. 1t
also appears form reports reach
ing the officers that the two

ISSUE PATENTS.

The secretary Of the interior
has directed that patents in fee
be issued by the general land Of
flee to 276 NeZ Perce Indians to
comply with the recommended
tions of the competency commits
sion which visited the Nez Perce
agency last year to adjudge what
Indians were competent. They
reported 60 per cent of the In
dians as competent.
The Fort Lapwai Indian agen-
cy will begin writing leases on
Indian lands, Monday, Septem-
ber 6. No leases will be made on
allotments for which patents are
to be issued, and lands which are
to be advertised for sale will not
he leased until after the sale in
November. Allotments not sold
will then be leased for one year,
for spring crop. OF for two years
for summer fallow crop.
Under a recent act of congress
a fee of S5 is now collected from
each lessor before the lease is ap-
proved. Hereafter all leases
will contain a mandatory clause
requiring lesses to eXterminate
crop pests such as squirrels,
gophers, Jim Hill mustard and
fan weed.
Among the Indians who will
receive their patents are several
who make their homes in the
Cottonwood. Greencreek, Ferdin'
and and Winona sections.

BORAH FAvORS
OLD PRIMARY
BORAH WANTS TO KNOW
ATTITUDE OF PRIMARY
LAW-GOES EAST.

Boise, Idaho, August 27.--
United States Senator w. f..
Borah, who has been busily en-
gagged since he returned to Idaho
touring the state and speaking
against the league of nations,
left tonight for the east. He
will return later to this state. In
an interview before his depart
ure he said. 81 am going to Chic
ago for a conference with the
national committee and parti-
cularly with Senator New, chair
man of the speakers bureau.
Il hope TO get back into Idaho
in October, | assume that by
that time the candidates on the
republican ticket will have made
their position entirely clear upon
matters in which some of us are
so deeply concerned so that |
may be of some real and effec-
tive service. AS to the primary
the republican platform declined
to endorse the convention sys-
tenn and does declare in favor of
the primary principle. / am
sure Governor Davis will make
his position clear and distinct
upon this issue. Already some
of the papers are constituting it
as an endorsement of the con-
vention system although in my
opinion wholly without justifica-
ton, and others are constituting
it as in favor of the primary sys-
tenn. Whatever campaigning
| may be able to do in the state
shall do it upon the theory that
it is declaration in favor of the
primary system"
Further speaking of his plans,
Senator Borah said:
II am going east to take part
in the campaign. From Sept
ember Is to November 3 | eX-
pect to spend my time with it.
In the immediate future | expect
to be in Indiana and New York
and will start my eastern cam
paign at Indianapolis.
Later in the campaign | eX-
pect to be sent again to the west,
if not to Idaho. though / will pro-
badly be in Idaho some time in
October. | have already deliv-
cred 20 speeches in this state
and, for this reason, the cam
paign leaders think I should be
available elsewhere.
"In my speeches | will deal
with the league of nations and
the restoration of constitional
government. On these subjects
] will present my views with out
regard to strict agreement with
the view of any leader. They
(the campaign leaders) are anx-
ious to have me do it,"
