sanuels Makes Address.

II. F. Samuels, the Progressive can.
didate for governor, addressed fair
sized audience at the Community
church in this city last Saturday even
ing, in which were several citizens Of
the Craigmont section.
He is a good talker and his wide exs
perience in the business and political
life of the state gives him fund of
information, which, woven into his
portrayal of the advantages and dis
advantages of governmental service
proposed by his own and the other
parties, makes very interesting
story to listen to. That he is conver-
SAINT with the needs of our state and
people there can be no question, and
he makes it clear that it is the chief
aim of his party to meet these needs
# given the reins of government. The
bank deposit guarantee, the referen-
dunn and recall, tho removal of special
privileges and his moratorium plan
oulked largely in his discourse here.

In order to insure this community
water supply of continuous salts.
factory quality the Grangeville Elect
ric Light &c Power Co., which owns
and operates the local system, is lay
ing new pipe line direct from the
two supply wells to the reservoir on
the hill just west of town. The ma
terial is all here for this new line and
is being put in place as rapidly as pos
sible. The work will require the
draining of the reservoir next Tues
day and no water will be available
therefrom on that day. All users are
cautioned to lay in supply to bridge
them over that day-Oct. IL.
The old system of pumping the wa
ter direct form the wells into the
mains has been found unsatisfactory,
in that this left the residue in the
reservoir unused for weeks at q time
and it became stagnant. Then, when
an extraordinary demand was made
upon the supply, the reserve was
drawn from the reservoir and it came
down into the mains more or less foul.
The system now being put into ef-
feet whereby the water is put into
the reservoir through one pipe and
drawn out through another, will keep
up continuous circulation there and
eave no opportunity for stagnation

| Honey bees intoxicated by old-fash
ioned mead swarming in the belfry
of mission style building at Las
Cruces, New Mexico, recently attract.
ed a large gathering of citizens and 3
number of students from the New
Mexico college of agriculture. "How
did they get that ways" was the
query on almost everyone Is lips.
According 70 Francis q Lester, on
whose property the bees swarmed, and
who has a large acreage Of grapes, the
bees were not attracted to his place
by the fruit. "Bees in search Of q
kick" said Lester, fare not apt to
fool around with unripe grapes'
Finally some of the scientific col
lege men discovered that hive Of
bees containing 80 pounds of honey
had been knocked into pool of water
formed by leakage from an irriga-
tion ditch. The honey and water fer
mented and analysis showed that the
liquid contained more than 10 per cent
alcohol Honey and water fermented
is called mead.

Kanliah,s Greatest Fair.

/ Kamiah Is 1922 fair, her 18th annua
effort in this line, closed a recor
breaking three-days' run last Satur
day night. Rainy weather threatened
bthe opening day, but, clearing skies
land ideal conditions followed and
crowds from all the adjacent country
gathered there and enjoyed the ex-
| tensive exhibits from the farms, gar
dens and orchards, the Indian bead
work, needle work, the live stock and
poultry, and the entertaining program
of sports.
Friday was set apart as Nezperce
day and over hundred people from
this community took advantage of the
opportunity for good visit with our
neighbors and look at their big show,
and all were well pleased with the re-
ception accorded and the entertain.
ment they received. It was estimated
that this days crowd was the largest
that had ever attended fair at the
beautiful valley town, and probably a
greater crowd witnessed Saturday 3
big program.
The parade on the second day, head
ed by the famous Dokkie band of
Lewiston, received much Favorable
comment as one of the biggest fea-
lures on the whole program, which in
cluded in the main races and feats of
horsemanship, cattle roping and bull
dogging, a triple parachute leap from
a balloon, trapese and slack wire per-
formances and numerous minor sports.
The solid phase of the fair however,
was the exhibit of live stock and the
grand showing of farm, garden and
orchard products, the latter being
,leverly displayed in the big gymna
sum at the entrance of the grounds.

Judge w. N. Scales on Monday con
vened the October term of district
court for idaho county at Grangeville.
There are 76 cases on she calendar.
The criminal cases are four in number.
1t is thought that not all of thse will
be tried. There are only six divorces
sought. Usually the calendar includes
more than twice this number. 1t is
anticipated that the jury work during
the term will be comparatively light,
as most of the actions to be heard
during the term are cases which will
be presented to Judge Scales for a
court decision.
