COP. HOLDS SWAY
Primary Forces Also Dominate
Legislature.

Boise, Idaho. Nov. 11.--Replb-
hcans will be represented in both
houses of the 1923 session of the
state legislature in sufficient
strength to combat any coalition
that might be formed between
Democratic and Progressives, it
was learned Thursday night
when a final determination OF
the complexion of both houses
was made.
In the senate there will be %
Republicans against IA Dem
ocrats and 5 Progressives. In the
lower house Republicans have
total Of 35 members while the
Democrats have "a and the Pro
gressives 6.
Only three counties in the
state split the delegations to the
lower house, Idaho county sent
one Republican and one Demo
crat. Twin Falls county sent
three Democrats and one Repub-
lican, and Bonner county sent one
Republican and one Democrat.
Canyon, Minidoka and Jerome
counties sent solid Progressive
delegations to both house and
senate.
The advocates Of the statewide
primary law have control OF
Idaho's new legislature, if the
pledges of members elected to
the house and senate are kept.
Progressives and democrats OF
whom there are 19 in the senate,
are all pledged to the enactment
of a primary law and there are
sufficient number of republicans
pledged to the enactment OF such
a law to give the primary advo-
Gates clear majority IN both
houses. The Idaho state republi-
can primary league claims the
primary advocates control both
the house and the senate.
"There are 19 democrats and
progressives in the senate and OF
the 25 republicans elected Ii are
pledged to the enactment Of a
primary law" said D. L. Young,
secretary Of the league. There
are 80 democrats and progress
ives in the house, all of whom are
pledged to the enactment OF a
primary law OF the 35 repubii-
cans elected to the house, 20 are
pledged to the enactment Of Pr1-
mary law.
If the claims of the league are
correct, there are 80 members OF
the senate in favor of the enact
ment of a statewide primary
law, where but % are necessary
to control, while there are 5o
members Of the next house OF
representatives in favor of the
enactment of such a law where
but 33 are necessary to- control

Reports from Burley state that
ideal weather conditions are enabling
the farmers to make good progress
with the harvesting of their potatoes
in spite OF the fact that labor was
never before so scarce or Indifferent in
that community at harvest time.
Farmers have helped each other with
their harvest and have managed To
get along with a minimum Of hired
help. Men shipped in to work in the
beet fields have been employed In
picking potatoes to such an extent
that the beet harvest has been delay
ed, and even the operation of the
sugar factory threatened because Of
lack Of laborers.

BUY BLOCK
GOLDSTONE BLOCK SOLD
FOR $10,0O0-WILL MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS

The Goldstone block, in Cot
tonwood, occupied by the Leg
gett Mercantile Co. has recently
passed from it's original owner,
Sam Goldstone, of Lewiston to c..
w. Wilson and Marion Freeman
of Colfax, Washington. The
location of the property makes it
one of the most desirable busi-
ness sites in the city.
The price paid for the prop
erty, according to Mr.. Wilson,
who was a business visitor in
Cottonwood, Tuesday, was $10,-
900.
Plans have already been made
by Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Freeman
to make some extensive impro-
vements. The buildini will be
painted, a new cement sidewalk
built and the building placed on
cement foundations.
The main building, while a
frame structure which has been
sadly neglected for the past few
years will, however, add greatly
to the appearance of Cottonwood
after the contemplated improve
ments have been made.
Mr.. Wilson returned to his
home at Colfax Thursday morn
ing and informed us that as soon
as weather conditions PERMITTED
he would return to the city and
under his supervision the inn
provements would be made.

BUYING RIGHT.OF.WAY.

The right-of-way for the North
and South highway through the
Cottonwood highway district via
what is known as the "high line
has all been signed up in most
satisfactory manner according to
members of the Cottonwood
highway commissioners with the
exception of the right-of-way
through the Joe Remacle ranch,
which the commissioners state
will also be satisfactorily settled
TO all parties concerned as soon
as the necessary papers are
made out.
1t is understood that the COM
missioners have been paying at
the rate of SIP an acre for the
land which is very reasonable
considering that some of the
farms are damaged somewhat by
the roads cutting up the farms.

MEETINGS PROVE
BIG SUCCESS
MANY INTERESTING FARM
PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
AT MEETING.

While the meeting of the Com
munity Farm Club last Tuesday
did not enjoy as large an atten-
dance as former meetings, pro-
badly due to the prevalence of
the flu in this vicinity and to a
sale being held northeast of
town, yet there were more men,
bers present than had heen an
ticipated and the meeting was a
most successful one. The mid
day luncheon was called off when
it became known the attendance
would probably be scant but
those present secured dinner
down town and returned to the
hall for an afternoon session fill
ed with interesting lectures.
The feature of the days en-
tertainment was the lecture on
dairying delivered by Prof. Nor
gan, of the dairy department of
the state university at Moscow.
He covered all phases of the
dairy question in an able man.
ner, giving much valuable infor-
nation and advice to those pres
ent, and complimented the men,
bers of the club on their judg-
ment in ordering only one to two
cows apiece instead of jumping
into the dairy game on a big
scale.
The round table questions pro-
pounded by the educational COM
mittee were also timely and in
structive.
Unfortunately nearly all of the
fat cattle and hog breeders were
absent, owing to sickness, and
other causes, and the considera-
tion of their question was passed
over until a later meeting.
Tuesdays session was the last
regular meeting of the club un-
til in June but a decision was
reached before adjournment was
taken to perhaps hold a special
meeting the latter part of the
month, if, in the opinion of the
executive board, conditions
seem to justify same, at which
time potato culture and kindred
subject will be considered.
The purchase Of strychnine for
squirrel poisoning and placing of
orders for alfalfa seed were also
among the matters considered.
The following new members
joined the club since the last

champion bicycle rider of the
world of Utica, N. Y. and a cou.
sin of J. F. Jenny of this city
died recently at his home in
Utica, N. Y. According to q

things says:
when the bicycle racing sport
was at the height of its popula-
rity, Mr.. Jenny achieved world
wide fame as a racer. He was
an expert at trap shooting and
also followed the sport of bowl
ing. Besides the fame gained
by him through his hobby OF
athletic sports Mr.. Jenny was
prominent in local business cir
cles as member of the firm OF
Jenny & Nelbach, monument
makers.
ut may be said that Mr.. Jenny
was a foremost factor in putting
Utica on the map when bicyclt
riding and racing was popular.
for he excelled in that sport and
as youth held several cham
pionships, including one worlds
title. He started his career as
a racer in Rome on Decoration
Day, 1893, and won his first
novice race. His ability was so
pronounced that he became a
professional rider"

FLU CRISIS
NOT REACHED
SO REPORTS THE DEPART.
MENT OF PUBLIC VEL
FARE AT BOISE.

The influenza epidemic, which
has again made its appearance
throughout the breath and
length of the land is in many
localities proving just as fatal as
in the year 1919 when thousands
upon thousands of peoples fell
victims to this dreaded disease.
Cottonwood proves to be no eX-
ception to the case and according
to local physicians there are at
least 200 cases in and about Cot
tonwood, most of which are of a
mild nature.
At the present writing there
are only two cases of pneumonia,
that of M. M. Belknap and j. N.
Beldsoe. both of whom are re-
ported by there attending physi-
clans, DR. Orr, DR.. Shinnick to be
doing as well as could be expect
ed. To date no ban has been
placed on public gatherings in
Cottonwood.
In a letter mailed to all news
paper publishers throughout the
state by the Department of Pub
lie Welfare with headquarters in
Boise who has kept a very close
tab on the situation states "Re-
ports indicate that the peak of
the disease has not been reach
ed, as yet there being an increase
in the number of cases reported
in the last two days"
The Department has also put
the following rules in force:
No person showing evidence
of the beginning of the disease
such as by colds, sneezing,
coughing, watery eyes, to be al
lowed in any public gathering
such as schools, churches, thea
tres or other gathering of people.
Persons in charge of such pub
lie gatherings will be requested
to ask such persons to leave the
place.
School teachers are requested
to send any child home that
shows any of the above symp-
toms and to notify the proper au-
thorities.
People are notified that there
will be no placarding of homes
from which the disease is re-
ported.
Parents are urged to keep
their child at home and in bed if
it shows signs of becoming i'll.
1t is much better to take the
disease in time and break it UP
than to allow the child to run
loose until the disease is well
developed, as this frequently re-
suits in complications.
People are also urged to take
better care of their health in
general; to see that their homes
are properly heated and ventilat-
ed and otherwise to do every
thing possible to avoid the low
ering of their vitality. In the
average case the course of the |
disease seems to run for a period |
of two and a half to three or four
days. Cases with a high tenn
perature are urged to take a |
longer time in convelescing be-
fore assuming their duties.
1t is advisable to isolate the |
person i'll at home from the rest
of the family as much as possible |
and thus avoid any unnecessary
exposure. This is an excellent |
time to commence the practice
of good health laws.
