then down hill nine miles to Elk City,

~ forty miles 20 Fix CITY, total dis
tance from Grangeville approximately
fifty-three miles. Freight rate on this
auto trunk road when finished Il cent
per pound, or So per ton.
With present population of Elk City,
parcel post will handle 400 tons per
year at 219 cents per pound over pres
ent route will cost 100000; over pro-
posed route at 4 cent per pound will
cost 5000. The expenditure of $780,
900 on the South Fork of the Clear
water river road will save the parcel
postoffice department $4,000 per year
with our present population. But as
many new homesteaders are taking up
our valley lands, and as big and inn
pOrtant gold strike has been made
within the past month in Elk City,
and one at Orogrande, which is served
from Elk City postoffice, this summer
will see our population increased by
at least 10 to /, and the tonnage to
be handled by parcel post 10 to /,
and the saving by building the river
road will be at least $1S0,000 per
year. Very few if any postal route

why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root lie a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this observation-disclosures.

Elects Two Pitchers

Did you ever hear Of one pinch
hitter disposing Of two pitchers
in ball gamer
It does not seem possible,
does itP
Looking back over some base
ball records we find that In a
game played at Boston on June
13, 1915, one pinch hitter, Tom
Clarke, went to bat for Toney In
the twelfth inning. This put
Toney out Of the game, and
Clarke then hit a vicious liner
through the box which Dick Ru-
dolph attempted to stop. Dick
did manage to knock down the
ball, but 1t put his right hand
out of business and he, too, was
compelled to leave the game.
The game in which this play
took place was in itself a freak
game, for both teams fought bit
terly for 16 innings, and neither
team was able to score a single
tally.
Toney, up to the time he was
taken out Of the game, had
pitched the most superb sort of
ball, allowing but two dinky hits
in II innings and striking out
eight men.

TXTARREN G. HARDING'S peculi-
w arly lovable character and all
the circumstances of his death COM
bined to call forth, last week, dem
onstratiOn of mourning so universal,
so spontaneous and so sincere that it
stands uneQualed since the death Of
Abraham Lincoln. During four days
the eyes Of millions of Americans and
the minds of all the rest of the people
dwelt sadly on the funeral train as
1t moved across the continent from
San Francisco to Washington. On
Wednesday all the officialdom Of the
national capital followed the casket
of the late President from the White
House to the capitol, where it was
placed under the great dome and
where the people of the city and
thousands of others passed by it for a
last look upon the face Of the man
they had learned to love and respect.
On Friday in Marion, o., the body Of
Mr.. Harding was consigned to the
tomb in the presence Of President
Coolidge and many thousands Of Off
cial and non-official citizens, while
literally the entire nation stood silent
with bowed head. On that day, so
Tar as might be, all business and all
pleasure was suspended throughout
the land and the thoughts Of all the
people turned to the little Ohio city
where a great nation was paying the
final tribute Of respect to its chieftain
and a grief-stricken woman was laying
In the tomb a devoted husband.
From the day when the news Of
President Harding's demise was
flashed around the world. messages Of
sorrow and coincidence came in flood
to Mrs. Harding and to the United
States from foreign rulers and nota-
bilitieS from innumerable organiza-
tiOns in other lands. To realize, the
worldwide character of the mourn
ing one needed only to read such news
items as that the German reichstag
began it's special session by rising and
standing with bowed heads in men,
ory Of Mr.. Harding; that the Con-
greSs of Brittany Sailors in Saint
Servan, France, suspended it's session !;
that three days of national mourning
was ordered by the government Of
Paraguay, and all othfr Latin-Ameri-
can countries gave expression to their
grief; that Portuguese warships flew
their flags at half-mast for day
that soviet Russia and Bulgaria Off
cially told Of their sorrow, and that
memorial services were held in West
minister Abbey while the funeral was
taking place in Marion.
Standing beside the bier in the ro-
tunda of the capitol in Washington,
Rev. DIR. Anderson read the verse
from Micah upon which the lips OF
Mr.. Harding chanced to fall as he
took the oath Of his high office on
March 4, 1921. 1t was:
"He hath showed Thee, 0 Man
what is good and what doth the LORD
require of thee, but to do justly and
to love mercy, and to walk humbly
with Thy GodY'
What more need be added?

when his mind Is made up he Is as
firm as a New Hampshire mountain.
Inevitably Mr.. Coolidge comes for
ward now as a leading possibility for
the Republican presidential nomina-
tion next year. He has some ten
months in which to prove to his party
that he is it's best choice, and fifteen
months in which to convince the cOun-
try that he should continue to hold the
Office. At present his main strength,
politically, lies in the East. In the
Middle and Far West it Is believed
Senator Hiram Johnson will be q
powerful opponent and Senator LaFol-
lette is conceded good many votes in
the convention. AS one Washington
correspondent puts it: ST will be
mainly tussle between eastern con-
selvatlsm, fortified by control Of the
administration, and western progress
ivisln, running strong in the prilna-
ries.'
Much depends on President Cool
idge's attitude toward American mem
bership in the world court, and what
this is no one seems to know. Not
withstanding his declaration of inten-
ton to carry on the Harding policies,
the party leaders in Washington do
not expect him to make the world
court an issue with the senate and
risk the chance Of a party split, which
they say would be playing into the
hands of Senator Johnson.

nothing in the case. 1t reported last
week that plans for compulsory arbi-
tration Of wage disputes in the coal
industry offer no hope for effectively
dealing with the problem. It recon-
mends that future wage agreements
include a clause providing for auto
matte renewal except as to such points
as may be a subject Of dispute. No
tlce Is to be given Of these points
ninety days in advance Of the expi-
ration, and If an agreement Is not
reached prior to sixty days before the
expiration, notice is to be given to the
President of the United States who
will appoint a commission to inquire
into the subjects at issue and make
public report before the renewal
date.

n HANCELLOR CUNO, striving to
~ save Germany from utter collapse
and his administration from downfall,
presented his program Wednesday to
the reichstag, called in special ses-
sion because Of the financial crisis.
Its three main points are:
1. A gold loan.
2. Placing taxation, including in
come and customs, indirect and direct,
upon gold value basis.
3. A levy upon industries, which
have made millions of dollars.
His plan was applauded by the ma
jority of the assembly, but the Com
munist members ragged and hOwled,
taunting Cuno and bitterly assailing
Hugo SHINES, the industrial magnate,
who sat unmoved and silent. The
CHANCELLOR retaliated ouly with the
remark that 1.-The growing activity Of
communism in Germany and else
where will lead to the ruin of Europe"
To which the Communists replied
"She is ruined already"
| Concerning the reparations muddle,
Cuno expressed extreme dissatisfac-
ton with the British draft Of reply
to the German note, declaring 1t con-
tanned much that was impossible of
fulfillment and that England had gone
extraordinarily far in her concessions
to the French viewpoint.
'It Is necessary to continue with
all our strength passive resistance,
free from mad acts Of violence and
terror" he said, land to support ac-
lively from the unoccupied territory
the population which is persevering in
a passive resistance Of its own will"
Repeating the French statement
that the Ruhr was to be freed only

strument with which Germany might
pay had been taken away when the
Ruhr was seized, Herr Cuno asserted
