Hawk Really Farmers Friend.

From early times in the eastern
United States country boys, and even
sportsmen, have held "hawk shoots"
during the autumn flights. making
their ambushes at places where wood
land gives way to fields, and particu-
iarly where the fight-llne is deter
mined by an adjoining body of water.
Such hunting is in general rather
senseless, or worse, for most OF our
hawks are beneficial birds.-Exchange.

WHY NO FUNDS.

A great many people have
been asking why the road work
on the Cottonwood Grave Greek
road is not yet under headway,
for which the recent session of
the Idaho state Legislature voted
$4,000. The county commits
sioners, under whose supervision
his work is to be done, and the
money to be handled have made
efforts to get the appropriation
but owing to the fact that the
recent $2,000,000 bond issue,
which the state attempted to sell
failed to receive any bidders the
state was unable to pay over the
money to the county commits
sioners, from which bond issue
the $4,000 will come when sold
The state treasurer has taker
the matter up with their repre-.
sentatives in New York and it il
hored that a deal will be made in
the near future and the bonds
sold.

he detected arsenic in all of the
specimens taken, including the
hair, and that he found in all APP
proximately one-fourth grain of
the poison. He gave it is his be-
lief that the body contained a
killing dose of arsenic, notwith-
standing the fact that in his
purging, Meyer had expelled con-
siderable amounts of the poison.

JULY THE 5TH

The village bond election will

suing bonds in the sum OF $2O,'
10000 for the purpose OF I'M
proving the streets of the town
especially the streets leading out
of town and correcting with tn.
roads now being improved by the
highway district. The Cotton
wood Highway District is now
rocking the slaughter house road
from the town limits on out and
it is the intention of the village
council to rock this road from
the slaughter house on into town
if the bond issues carries so that
there will be funds with which to
carry out this work. This roaG
it will be remembered was al
most impossible this last spring
and it is to be hoped the Eond is
sue will carry so that it may be
rocked before another winter.
Likewise with the other roads
leading out of town it is
the intention of the council to
grade up and rock them as fast
as the work can be carried out.
The impression has gotten out
with some of the people that the
council intend to use this money
in fixing up the streets in the
center of town, but this is not
their mention, as the bulk of this
bond money will be used on the
streets leading out of town and
connecting with the roads now
being improved. With this state
ment on the subject it is to be
hoped the bonds will he support
ed by a large majority of the
voters.
If you have not registered you
had better do so, as Saturday
will be the last day the books arc
open. Only persons whose name
are on the tax roll and who are
citizen of the village are entitled
to vote.
Vote for the bonds and let's
eliminate these mud holes. What

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
Knight Baby is Run Over by a
Ford Truck.

Ford Truck.
The 2-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Knight, of this city had a
narrow escape from instant
death. Monday evening, about Z
o'clock when the mere baby was
knocked down and run over by
Ford truck on the cross walk
near the Leggett Mercantile Co.
The child was quickly picked up
and rushed to the office of DR..
Orr and upon close examination
was found to have been uninjur-
ed, outside of a bloody nose.
The accident. which might
have proven fatal, is regarded as
a fortunate one by all those who
seen the little fellow run over by
the truck and clearly demon
strates that drivers must keep
on the right side of the road,
which this truck driver failed to
do according to witnesses of the
accident and also that the city
must place a turning sign in the
middle of the street at this point.
which is regarded as a danger

The city last year had such a
sign but owing to its lightness

less drivers. They are now PLAN
ming on placing a large concrete
post at this point and the city
police should be given strict ord
ers from the council to enforce
the law which compels drivers
to keep to the right and from
everlastingly cutting. corners.
That some one has not been kill
