One of the latest and most up
to-date generators, for the man.
ufacturing of gas to be used for
acteylene welding purposes was
received and installed by the
Cottonwood Garage this week.
This is the first machine of its
kind to be placed in operation on
the prairie. The gas is general
ed out of carbite and at cost of
approximately 112 cents a cubic
foot while the gas which they
have been using in the past,
shipped in from outside points
has been costing about Z cents o
cubic foot.
Generators, manufactured In
the past, have been considered
more or less dangerous, but the
one installed by Huddleston and
Speck is said to be approved by
all underwriters. Only fifteen
pounds of gas can be manufact-
ured at one time after which any
one of three automatic switches
stop the machine. When the
pressure is released from the
tank the machine is again placed
in operation automaticly.
The installation of the ma
chine, said Mr.. Huddleston
means that we can do acteylene
welding at a much cheaper price
then heretofore"
The machine, as equipped cost
approximately $1,000.

LUMSKI WINS AGAIN.
Kid Lumski, Cottonwood 154

hlu LuiIiSki, SollOiiNOUu lOf
FOUNDER, taking his second
straight victory in Lewiston,
won the Judges decision from
Cicil Manning. Pomeroy, fight
ing at 148 pounds, at the end of a
scheduled 12-round bout in the
main event of the 32-round card
staged by the Lewis-Clark Ath-
letic association at the Temple
theater Monday evening. The
fight was one of the fastest and
cleanest ever seen in Lewiston.
Throughout the fight Lumski
had a shade over his adversary,
and most of the time played the
aggressor. He displayed ability
to get through TO Manning's face
and from the fourth round on
the Pomeroy hoy was bleeding
from mouth ard ear.
A thrill went over the attend
ing crowd in the fifth when
Manning staged what appeared
to be a strong comeback. For a
time Lumski went groggy under
a rain of blows to body and head
and it appeared that the fight
had turned. Manning, however,
was unable to follow up his ad-
vantage. Manning several times
attempted to rush Lumski with
out avail. He took a great deaI
of punishment and stood il
gamely.
Carl Greif of Uniontown re

PLAY GRAND SUCCESS.

The high school play, the Ar
rival of Kitty, staged at the
Orpheum theatre, Saturday
evening, under the direction of
Miss Baker, was a splendid sue
cess from every point and was
greeted by a packed house.
The farce, as interpreted by
students of the Cottonwood high
school, was the cause for much
laughter and many pronounced 1t
as one of the best home talent
plays ever staged in Cottonwood.
AS for the cast, the editor
would like to mention each and
every one of them separately.
but in so doing we would indulge,
no doubt, in a great deal of re-
petition, as in our judgment we
would be unable to select any
individual as the star actor or
actress. Each pupil taking part,
played his or her part to perfec-
ton, in our humble opinion.
AS for Miss Baker, the direc-
tor, we can only confirm the
opinion of the general public in
complimenting her upon the sue,
cess of the play which clearly
showed her ability in such q
capacity and the results also
show that many hours of hard
work were spent, before it could
have been staged with such
splendid succe2s.
Arrangements have been made
to stage the play in the l. 0. 0
F. hall at Winona, Saturda,
evening, and Cottonwood will
heartily recommend the "Arriva
of Kitty" to our neighborin,
town.

ORGANIZE z -FOUR
TEAM LEAGUES
NASH NAMED PRESIDENT
SEASON OPENS
MAY 7TH.

A rousing baseball meeting
was held in the Orpheum theatre
Tuesday evening, some rs fans
and managers of the various
towns, who wished to enter the
league from different section of
Idaho county, having been pre-
sent.
The meeting was called to
order by chairman, T. f. Quin-
Ian, of Grangeville, and William
Derrig, of Grangeville, acted as
temporary secretary.
After considerable discussion
on the matter of organizing an
eight team league, a vote was
taken thereon, which resulted in
four votes being cast for an
eight team league and three for
two four team leagues. If an
eight team league was to be or
ganized, Ferdinand wished 10
withdraw, thus the only solution
remained was a six team league.
1t was finally decided by an
unanimous vote to organize two
four team leagues, one to be
known as the National, consist
ing of the towns of Ferdinand,
Grangeville, Kooskia and Cot
tonwood and the American, con-
sisting of the towns of Green
creek, Winona, Sites and Fem.
The chief objection to an eight
team league was that the sched-
ule would run too long, while
with a four team league the
ses son will close on July 4th.
Little interest is taken in base
ball, on the prairie, after the
4th of July.
j. V. Nash was unanimously
elected president of the two
leagues and w HI. Pearl of Sites
vice-president, Frank Albers
secretary-treasurer.
The following bylaws and
schedule was adopted at the
meeting Tuesday evening:
Constitution ahd Bylaws OF
the Idaho County Nationa
League and the Idaho County
American League.

tions shall be the Idaho County

GETS MEDAL 16 YEARS
AFTER AUTHORIZED.
Joseph Rustemeyer Receives
Congressional Honor for
Service i'm Islands.

Joseph Rustemeyer, formerly
a resident of this city, but now
residing in Los Angeles Calf,
and one of the founders of the
Camas Prairie Chronicle, now
known as the Cottonwood Chron-
icle, recently received a congress
sional medal which was awarded
sixteen years ago.
A Los Angeles paper, OF recent
date,- contained the following
article relative to the incident:
while this story covers a
somewhat lengthy period of time
it is not a long story, though it
has tedious aspects.
Joseph Rustemeyer enlisted
with the First Idaho regiment,
Company B, for the Spanish war,
which occurred at the tail end Of
the last century. Part Of it was
fought in Cuba and part of it in
the Philippine islands. 1t was at
the battle of Manila, August l3,
1898, that the forces in which
Rustemeyer was a member dis
tinguished themselves.
"As history records, our boys
won this particular war in short
order.
Having enlisted for the dura-
ton of the war, they were en-
titled to their discharge, but
they elected to remain in service
and put down an insurrection of
the Filipinos. They were in
battle with the natives February
A, 1899, and so effectively did
they salt down this insurrection
that President William Mckinley
sent telegram of congratula-
ton and praise and the Other
little things that go with such
occasions. He suggested that 9
congressional medal should be
awarded all the men who answer
ed the call of duty on their owl
initiative.
thine wore on, as it has a way
of doing, and in 1906, or sever
years later, congress authorized
the medal.
"Well, to make a short story
chorte, RuStemeyer got hls
medal today, 16 years after Il
was authorized, and % year;
after President Mckinley sug
gested it.
"The medal is of bronze
slightly smaller than a half-dol
lar. with three soldiers on the
one side and For Patriotism
Fortitude and Loyalty" on th'
other"
Mr.. Rustemeyer left Cotton
wood about 90 years ago, he wa:
interested here with Franl
Winner in publishing the Cama'
Prairie Chronicle. He is brother
of Mrs. Frank Winner, George
Andy and Miss Clara Rustemey
er of this city. He will be re
membered by many of the ol'
timers here.
