cuts her off with a little over $1,000.
Mr.. Douglas had been confined TO an
asylum for insanity in 1910, but had
been discharged after three months as

$4,000 BUSHELS
IN WAREHOUSES
26 CARLOADS SHIPPED DUR
ING MONTH.-34 CAR
LOADS OF LUMBER.

233,000 bushels Of wheat were
stored in the local warehouses on
October first, according to au-
thenticate information which we
were able to obtain this week.
This is only about one-fourth of
the grain that is expected to ar
rive in Cottonwood. 1t is esti-
mated that at least 100000
bushels will pass thru the local
elevators and warehouses when
all of the 1923 crop has been
finally placed in storage.
During the present harvest
only 26 carloads Of wheat have
been moved.
Grain has been coming into
Cottonwood the past week at a
very lively rate and hauling will
be continued until all is in the
warehouses or until the roads
make it impossible to continue
hauling.
Threshing in this section will
be practically completed by the
end of this week. Some of the
machines have already pulled in.
More Warehouse Room.
The first warehouse in Cot
tonwood to be filled to capacity
was the Nezperce Roller Minis
house, managed by T. A. Gar
dener. On Sunday, James Wright
of Nezperce and his son-in-law,
V. ]. Miller of Lewiston, two Of
the owners of the warehouse,
spent a short time in the city
and while here made arrange
ments to have a forty foot addi-
ton built to their house. The
work is being done by Joe
Peterson of Nezperce. The floor
is now being laid and grain will
be stored in the new addition as
soon as permissible.
The price of grain is reported
today to be around the 76 cent
mark for White Russian in sacks
Bulk grain is about a cents low
er. Last week the price of grain
took a drop here in conjunction
with the decline on the coast.
1t is reported that there are
10000 carloads of wheat in the
Portland yards awaiting to be
unloaded.
During the month of Septem-
Der, 36 carloads of lumber were
shipped from Cottonwood. All
of the lumber comes from the
Keuterville district and is being
