IDAHO COUNTY
TO ORGANIZE
MEETING WILL BE HELD AT
GRANGEVILLE SAT
URnAY EVENING.

Idaho county will organize its
own baseball league if plans as
now outlined materalize and
should such a league be organic
ed the following towns will be-
come members: Whitebird, Fem
Grangeville, Kooskia, Sites and
Cottonwood.
A meeting was held at NeZ-
perce Monday evening for the
purpose of organizing league,
but the Lewis county cities were
of the opinion that each county
should organize its own league.
The Lewis county boys were fair
in the matter and suggested that
should Grangeville and Cotton
wood not be able to interest
enough towns in Idaho county in
organizing ball clubs, they would
then let them join the Lewis
county league which would then
consist of six teams.
At the Nezperce meeting there
was some discussion as to the
best kind of a league-strictly
county league, or one including
the best teams on the prairies.
II was also decided that only
home players are eligible, and
that hired players will not be
tolerated. This will reduce the
expense, as it reduces talent to
local players, and the league will
be promoted solely for the pur-
pose of true sport and pleasure.
Meeting At Grangeville
A meeting of the Idaho county
towns wishing to enter the Idaho
county baseball league will be
held at Grangevile, Saturday
evening, at which time the ques-
ton of organizing in Idaho
county will be definitely settled.
Every town so far contemplat-
ing to enter the league will in
sist on all home players and no
salaried men will be tolerated.
If the league is organized it is
expected TO open the season May
7 and to run games up to the
Fourth, closing the season in
time for the players to enter
harvest work.
Cottonwood Ready.
Cottonwood is ready to enter
the league at once and the gen.
eral opinion prevails, among the
business men and players that
Idaho county should organize It's
own league.
Cottonwood has prospects o.
having one of the best teams i
has had in many years and ;
great deal of interest is bein,
shown by business men 'ant
players.
One of the greatest drawback
in former years, with the loca
toys, has Leen a diamond, will

WILL HOLD
PUBLIC AUCTION
DATE SET FOR FIRST SALE
SATURDAY
MAY 9TH.

At a meeting held by number
of business men in the offices OF
the First National Bank, of Cot
tonwood Tuesday evening, it
was decided to hold a big public
auction sale in Cottonwood, on
Saturday, May 9th.
The idea OF the public auction
is for the benefit of the farmers
and business men alike and on
this date anything and every
thing offered for sale will be dis
posed of from the auction block.
The auction sale plan originat-
ed in the east and has worked
very successfully in that section
and Cottonwood will give it a
trial on the above mentioned
date and should it prove success
full it will be made a monthly af-
fair.
Farmers who have horses,
cattle farm machinery, or what
not for sale, are requested to list
them at the First National Bank
so that they can be placed upon
the sale bills and properly ad-
vertised.
One of the big features of the
sale will lie the disposal of mer-
chandise from the shelves of
local business houses at auction
sale. At the appointed time the
auctioneer will enter business
houses in Cottonwood and sell
merchandise that the merchants
have to auction off at whatever
price you are willing to bid for
it, of course it ~ill go to the
highest bidder.
An extensive advertising c9m-
pagn will be inaugurated before
the sale and all those having
surplus stock or farm machinery
are requested to list their goods
at once in order to have it all
placed upon the sale bills that are
to be printed the coming week in
etwo colors upon a sheet of paper
22x30 inches.
The business men are taking a
great interest in the coming sale
and it is hoped that all the farm
ers and the community in gener-
al will cooperate in the move
ment. The goods offered for
sale, will be sold to the highest
bidder, near the flag pole, by
Auctioneer V. II. Johnson who
has taken a deep interest in the
movement and who has conduct,
ed many such a sale in the east
each of which proved to be big
success.
In order to make the public
auction sale a big success it vii
take the cooperation of every
business house in Cottonwood
every farmer, and the public il
general. 1t is at least worth &
trial so let's make it a success!
while we are making it a trial.
