ELLER-TUNNELL.

Benjamin F. Eller and Miss
Lydia M. Tunnel, two popular
young members of pioneer
families in the Greencreek sec
tion, drove over to Nezperce
Thursday and just after noon
they negotiated with Recorder
Emerson for a marriage license
and with that document in their
possession they dropped into the
office of Probate Judge Dowd
and received his solemn sentence
to love, cherish, etc, ever after.
The Judge averred, after the
excitement had subsidized and the
happy pair had gone smiling on
their way, that he hoped this
would not he the last couple he'd
watt into welded bliss during
his tenure of office, but blamed
if he didn't believe it was about
the best looking he'd had the
pleasure of passing on.-Nez-
perce Herald.

ASK STATE To
BUILD BRIDGE
PEOPLE WANT SUSPENSION
BRIDGE OVER THE
SALMON RIVER.

Plans for a suspension bridge
across the Salmon river at the
foot of the Grave Creek road, a
bridge which would open up the
Joseph plains country and give
that district an all year road to
Cottonwood, were discussed
Tuesday at a meeting of the Cot
tonwood commercial club and
the matter is to be laid before
the next session of the state
legislature. An appropriation of
S5, 900 is to be asked for this
class bridge to supplant the
ferry, which is able to run only
a part of the time.
The completion of the Grave
Greek road from Cottonwood TO
the mouth of Rice creek last
summer by the State Of Idaho,
at a cost of $4,000, has caused
the present project to be foster
ed by farmers of the joseph
country, who are in need of a
bridge to connect with their road
from the west side of Salmon
river. Should the bridge be
built by an appropriation, as was
the road, from Cottonwood to
Rice creek it will not only be of
great benefit to those residing
there but to the state as well
who owns thousands of acres Of
land in that part of the county.
At one time it was the i'm.
preston that the bridge would
be built by private capital but
owing to present financial cordi-
tions this will be impossible at
the present time.
The completion of the bridge
with the Grave Creek road
wGGld open several thousand
acres of good farming country as
well as being a great benefit to
the many stockmen who have
holdings in the Joseph country
and run large herds. An open
road to the market any time of
the year will greatly stimulate
the production of both stock and
grain.

GRANGEVILLE WINS
FROM COTTONWOOD
Some IS Accompany Basketball
Team to Grangeville

Some rs basketball enthusi-
asts with spirits running high
sojoulneyed to Grangeville Fri
day evening to witness the con-
test between the Cottonwood
high school teams and the
Grangeville high school teams,
both boys and girls team TAX
ing part In the contests.
In both instances the local
teams lost, the girls losing their
game by a score of IS to 2 and
the boys by q score of 32 to 8.
The boys lost their first game
of the season when the heavier
Grangeville team defeated them
in what appears to be on paper a
one sided contest but which ac-
cording to those witnessing the
contest was a battle royal and
very rough at times. Seven of
the eight points made by Cotton
wood were Gagged by Minis who
played center. For Grangevi'le
1.-THE man with the side burns"
who was disqualified in the last
half for a personal foul, was the
star player.
Cottonwood has no alibi to
offer and the only regretable
feature of the game was the
personal roofing" which never
does any good and only causes
uncelled for prejudice that
should at least not crop out from
high school games. Some of
the roofing at Grangeville, Fri
day evening by Grangeville fans
was even criticised by Grange
vile citizens who call it unsports
manlike.

"ENTHUSIASM."

In chronicling the basket ball
game between Nezperce and
Cottonwood the Nezperce Herald
among other things said:
"The enthusiasm shown by
the Cottonwood crowd was also
a great factor in the victory of
their team for we all know what
effect strong backing has on the
spirit of a team. On January s,
however, when Cottonwood plays
Nezperce on the local floor the
home boys are determined to
get even with their opponents. I"

Tickle its epiglotis
With the wire

And then pump
Gas into its lungs
When the animal coughs,
