SALE DRAWS ATTENTION.

Much interest is being shown
throughout the Lewisoton coun-
try in the Bondholders' Sacrifice
Sale of Lewiston Orchards,
which takes place October 8,
1920. Applications are pouring
in from all parts of the country
and from present indications the
SO tracts being offered will not
be sufficient to supply the de-
mand.
A feature that is attracting
much attention is the method of
sale. No land will be sold be-
fore October 8. At this time
the application that have been
made will be placed in a hat and
a line formed of purchasers in
the order in which their applica-
tions are drawn from the hat.
The purchasers in making ap-
plication indicate their several
choices of tracts and in case
tracts they selected have already
been sold their money is refund
ed.
The exceptionally low prices
of $3.50 to $3.50 per acre are re-
sponsible for the large number
of people interested. The price
of $3.50 per acre for full-bearing
orchards is less than one-third
the prices the same kind of land
is bringing in the other irrigated
districts in the Northwest. Some
of the tracts in the district re-
port annual crops larger than
the price being asked at this
sale.
Most of the applications to
date have been from residents of
the outlying districts, and from
present appearances a majority
of the purchasers will be farm
ers who are looking for a small
tracts near the city, where they
can enjoy Lewiston's fine sys-
tenn of schools, and other city
advantages.
The tracts offered vary from
5 to 80 acres in size and consist
of land in orchard, alfalfa, corn
and small produce.
People realize that these are
the last orchard lands that can
he developed in the Lewiston
Valley and are Fastening to take
advantage of their wonderful
opportunity before it is too late,

new BANK
FOR KAMIAH
ROBERTSON TO OPEN BANK
AT KAMIAH IN NEAR
FUTURE

George M. Robertson, former
cashier of the First National
Bank of this city, and one of our
most progressive citizens will
open a new bank at kamiah as
soon as all the necessary legal
matters pretaining to such am
institution can be properly taken
care of.
Kamiah is indeed fortunate in
getting a man of Mr.. Robert
sons calibre, a man who always
Eoosts the interests of the town
in which he lives, and as far as
banking is concerned is second
to none. When this new bank
gets under way we predict that
the little Clearwater city will
have another bank that they can
well feel proud of.
The Kafniah Progress had the
following to say in regard to the
opening of the new bank:
There are quite persistent ru
mors floating about town that
.Kamiah is to have a new bank.
We have been unable to get any
definite dope on the matter, but
the rumor is that the new in
stitution is to be organized by
Geo. Robertson, until recently
cashier of the First National
Bank of Cottonwood, who is
to be cashier: that several Vino
ma farmers are to be among the
stockholders, a bunch of stock
to he sold to Kamiah people;
that Mr.. Robertson has bought
of L. f. Horning the house
where w. c. Short lives, and
that on option has been secured
on the building now occupied by
The Progress, which was a num-
ber of years the home of the
Bank of kamiah before its abb
sorbtion by the State Bank of
Kamiah. The institution is to
be state bank, we understand,
and have capital of $4,000.
AS we go to press we are as
sured by Mr.. Robertson that
the rumors noted are correct
and that the bank will be ready
to begin business within the
next few weeks, or as soon as
The Progress can vacate the
building"
Mr.. and Mrs. Robertson de-
parted for their new home last
Friday, and what is our loss is
Kamiah's gain. Their many
friends in Idaho county, where
these folks have lived for many
years, wishes them the best of
success in their new home, and
that the change in climate will
greatly benefit Mrs. Robinson's
health, which was the cause of
them leaving Cottonwood.
In leaving Cottonwood the
Rohertsons leave behind them
staunch friends, and their lead
ership in the business and social

SAMUELS VISITS
COTTONWOOD
WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE
FOR UNITED STATES
SENATOR ....

II. II SdInlelS prominent
figure in the nonpartisan league
and candidate for u. S. senator
OH the Nonpartisan ticket was
a visitor in Cottonwood last Fri
day afternoon and while here
held an executive meeting with
members of his party, delegates
who were present from various
sections of the county. Mr.. Sam
uels was accompanied here from
Nezperce by State Senator
Booth of Lewis county.
While in the city Mr.. Samuels
also made necessary arrange
ments for the speech to be de-
livered in Cottonwood by Walter
Thomas Mills, the noted writer
and lecturer.
While in the city Mr.. Samuels
gave out a statement that he
would not be a candidate for the
u. S. senate on the Nonpartisan
ticket but that he would resign
in favor of United States SEN
ator John F. Nugent, the demo-
cratic nominees.
The recent announcement that
Mr.. Samuels would withdraw
from the senatorial race in be-
half of Senator Nugent has ex-
cited much interest here, as else
where in the state. In speak
ing of his action in this matter,
Mr.. Samuels says:
"When the convention of or
ganized farmers and organized
labor was held at Boise, August
3, neither one of the old political
parties had met or made any
nominations. At this conven-
ton, it was decided. by unani-
nous vote. that, if Senator Nu-
gent was nominated, Mr.. Sam
uels would withdraw, and throw
the entire support of the farm
and labor element, represented
at the convention, for Senator
Nugent's election and the over
whelming defeat of Mr.. Gooding,
his opponent. This was the dis
tinct agreement made and it has
been adhered to in good faith.
There has been no trading of
any kind.
Senator Nugent was the cam
didate of these same elements
two years ago. His record has
been good, and he has maintain
ed the ideals for which we are
working. He will get the vote
of organized farmers and labor
as he did before, and that vote
will be much larger than it was
two years ago.
'T h e Nonpartisan league
stands for free and open discus
sion of the issues of the COM
paign, without abuse or mud
Singing, and does not intend to
enter into an abusive campaign
but it is always anxious and will
ing to meet on the platform
those with whom it differs and
discuss the principles of the
league.
"In the present state cam
paign, the Nonpartisan league
especially insists on the support,
by candidates, of just two
things; first, a statewide prim-
airy, covering all elective federal,
state, county and precinct Of
fices; second, workable initia-
tive and referendum law, which
will become effective upon filing
of a petition signed by fifteen
percent of the voting citizens, on
the basis of the last general elec-
tion.
"We do not care what party
the candidate represents, but
we want to know what principles
he supports"

TELLS ABOUT TRIP.

ChafleS Buettnef VINO lett
Cottonwood about three weeks
ago with his family in a car for
California has written a very in
teresting letter to the Chronicle
and his friends telling about the
trip to southern California
where they will make their fu-
ture home. The letter reads as
follows:
San Jose, Calf.
Sept. %, 1920.
No doubt you will appreciate
a few lines from me in regard
to our trip to sunny California.
We arrived in San Jose the 10Th
day of September, just two
weeks from the day we left Cot
tonwood. We did not drive all
this time as we stopped over at
variou points all along the line,
in fact we took our time, but
nevertheless when we came to a
good piece of road we did not
hesitate to time the old Over
land up to 40 and so miles an
hour. The old boat brought us
through in fine shape, and with
only three tire changes on the
entire trip which was 1915 miles
and during this time consumed
40 gallons of gasoline.
We drove by the way of Spo-
kane and then west to Daven-
the port and Ellensburg and
over the Snowqaulme pass which
is a lovely drive with beautiful
scenery and plenty of buckle
berries but we did not have a
chance to pick many of them as
it started to rain there and II
rained on us until we reached
the California line. The roads
were very good in spite of all the
rain and we used chains only
once.
There is a lot of construction
work going on and in a few years
the highway between British
Columbia and Mexico will be
completed.
Oregon has some very rich
valleys. They were shipping
fruit by the train loads for east
ern markets, consisting mostly
of pears, apples, and of a good
quality.
Here in San Jose the people
are busy delivering their dried
fruits. prunes and apricotes.
They haul them into an elevator
and ware house like we do wheat
in Cottonwood and there they
go through the process of pack
ing and shipping.
Ny brother, Lewis. shipped n
ear of dried prunes yesterday for
the firm he is working that was
valued at $4,000. How is that
for prunes.
We are just about settled
down here, our piano came to-
day, having been on the road
about four weeks. The children
stared to school last Monday.
| hope to hear from my many
friends soon. Address me at
246 Park Ave.
AS ever your friend,
Charles Buettner.

LEASE CREAMERY
TO LEWISTON FIRM
MANUFACTURING OF ICE,
BUTTER AND ICE CREAM
DISCONTINUED

At a special meeting of the
board of directors OF the Cotton
wood Cooperative Creamery Co.
held Saturday September 25th
it was decided to discontinue
the manufacturing of butter, ice
and ice cream for the time being,
and to accept an offer to rent
the Creamery for a cream sta
tion to the Mutual Creamery Co.
of Lewiston for a period of one
month and then to call a special
meeting of the stockholders of
the above company to meet We'd
nesday October Goth at 2 p. m.
at the X. of c. hall for the pur-
pose of considering the future
plans of the corporation.
REGARDING the above transac-
tion the president of the corpor-
alton, John Hoene. gives out the
following statement.
Owing to the lack of sufficient
cream received and the high cost
of overhead expenses such as
labor, fuel, water, power. sup
plies etc, it has been decided to
quit t h e manufacturing Of
creamery products for the pre-
sent time.
When the Cottonwood Coop
erative Creamery Co., was or
ganized in June 1916, cream pro-
ducers were not receiving the
price, test and service they felt
they were entitled to and the or
ganization was speedily complet-
ed and the creamery received its
first cream in the latter part of
July 1916. Since that time the
creamery has been in sturdy OPP
cation and has done well up to
about year ago when prices of
labor, supplies etc, came to a
peak. 1t has been hoped that
dairying would be more develop
ed but owing to the high price of
grain and fuel there was less
cream produced then in former
years. Our creamery is still on
sound financial basis but we do
not believe in operating at loss.
The company has reduced the
Indebtedness over 100000 in the
four years of operation which
goes to show that it has not done
so bad. 1t must also be consid-
cred that the big cream central
iZers have made competitor very
hard by making every effort to
secure cream from this territory
by paying very attractive prices
for the creams and making
every effort to get it some way.
In reviewing the Boise Week
ly Markets Bulletin we find that
from 6 to 4 cents more is paid
for cream in our territory then
IN Boise, Salt Lake and other
southern Idaho towns. There
must be some reason for this
difference in price.
Whether the creamery will be
again operated in the future as a
manufacturing plant OF used as
a cream station or disposed of to
other cream companies will de-
pend on the attitude of the stock
hoders at a special meeting
called October Goth. 1t is very
important that every stock
holder and cream patron is rep
resented at this meeting.
We wish to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the stock holders
and patrons who have been so
loyal to our home concern and
hope that we may be able to re-
sumo operations in the future or
find a satisfactory way to give
cream patrons every opDortunity
to dispose of their dairy pro-
ducts to advantage.

Of political allegiance will be best
understood In the United States, for ex
ample, by the spectacle of Republican
national convention nominating as its
candidate for president man named
by the Democrats in previous cam
paign.
Soldiers were on duty in all the
provinces when the first voters reached
the polls. Under orders from President
Menocal, they were to deal fearlessly
with outlaw bands, which were reported
to be active In some districts. Fear of
trouble was somewhat allayed by ap-
peals from both candidates to their fol-
lowers to keep the peace and not pro-
woke a clash with the opposition.
All Dncations pointed to a heavy
vote, with each side claiming victory.
Many leaders doubted whether the re-
suit would be known tonight.
