AWAY.

The very sad news of the death OF
Mrs. ID. Z. Dunning, who was former
" Miss Lillian Dowd, was brought to
Nezperce, her old home community, in
the following report in the Spokane
spokesman Review of last Friday:
Mrs. Lillian c. Dunning, age 80.
wife of D. f. Dunning, secretary 10
Commissioner Maurice Smith of the
public safety department. died yester-
day morning at her home, W1ll5
Mansfield avenue, Spokane, following
an illness of two months.
Mrs. Dunning was an active mem
ber of the women S auxiliary to the
American Legion, serving as chairman
of the Sacred Heart committee. She
was also member of Electa chapter
of the Eastern Star, and of the White
Shrine.
She is survived by her husband, her
father, d. Y. Dowd, former banker
of Nezperce and ex-probate judge Of
Lewis county, Idaho, and a brother,
A. G. Dowd, of Vera The funeral
will be held at clock tomorrow

GERS of Electa chapter viii be honor
ary pail bearers and the White Shrine
service will be conducted at the grave.
Lillian Dowd came to this prairie
with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. d, v.
Dowd, shortly after the opening of
the reservation Her childhood was
spent at Mohler and in Nezperce,
where her father was interested, in
the banking business and she was n
graduate from our high school. The
family moved to Spokane about IL
years ago and some four years later
the deceased and Mr.. Dunning were
married.
This community never had among
its citizenship a family that was held
in higher esteem and more generally
beloved than the Dowds, and, the
daughter of the house won the hearts
of all.
Mrs. Dunning's mother crossed the
Great Divide about four years ago,
and since then Mr.. Dowd has spent
most of his time on his ranch on lower
Central Ridge and in Nezperce. The
whole prairie extends its deepest sym
pathy to him and the balance of the

Freight Rate Reduction On Grain At
Nezperce.

There have been erroneous reports
circulating as to freight rate reduc-
tions on points on the Clearwater
River, one of the reports in particular
being the supposed reduction of the
rate from the Nezperce Tramway,
which is supposed to make a differ
ence now of six cents per bushel on
wheat between Nezperce and the
Tramway. This is not correct Tho
present difference is only about four
cents bushel. However, this differ
ence viii be reduced September Is, on
which date the reduction of one and
one-half cents per bushel will apply

mont and Culdesac This viii natural

yesterday Al. Kachelmeier, whose pro

Earliest of AN variety. They arc
of rather unusual length, the larger
being l-g inches long and weighing

As to the rnmored freight rate re-

water branch, this company took the
matter up with railroad officials a.

was that there has been thus far no
contemplation of reduction. The
reduction made applies only to Camas
Prairie points and, therefore, favors
Nezperce, but not the Tramway. We

that Nezperee is considered by most

RESERVED SEATS AT FAIR.

Reserved seats will be available at
the grandstand at the lewiston Clark.
ston fair and Roundup which opens
on September IL, according to an an
nouncement sent out by the manage
ment this week.
Ii is stated section of the grand
stand win be reserved, but more than
1900 grandstand seats will be sold at
the regular price of so cents. The re-
served seats will be sold for 75 cents
each and the sale of reserved seats
viii be open on September /. This
permits out-of-town patrons to order
the number of seats desired and for
the day they expect to attend the fair
and they are assured their seats viii
be awaiting them when they arrive at
the grounds. The management asks
that checks accompany the reservation
orders and that the writer be sure to
designate the number of seats wanted
and the day for which they are
wanted
The management has experienced
much trouble in the past years by tho
grandstand filling up more than an
hour before the opening of the pro-
gram so that persons arriving at the
grounds just in time for the program,
have found the grandstand filled.
The plan adopted this year is practiced
in all the larger fairs and will be a
great convenience to many patrons.

WILSON'S CAR FIRST OVER
SCENIC KAMIAH ROAD

The first automobile to make trip
over the new hill highway or any CON
| siderable portion of it was that of
f. v. Wilson s, who conveyed party
of 'notables" on an inspection trip
yesterday. In the party were Roy
Blair, of the Triangle Construction
Co., J. F. Bridwell and Mr.. Wilson,
commissioners, and F. H. Rebberg,
clerk, of the Kamiah Highway Dis
trict; and the editor of The Progress.
Trucks of the Triangle Co., and the
state engineers make regular trips
over portions of the highway that
have been graded, but the Wilson car,
we are told, has the honor of being
the first touring ear to go over the
road
Engineer Roach acted as conductor
in looking over the work. The resident
engineer is quite proud of the job he
has done and we will say he has every
reason for his pride. It's wonderful
piece of road making and altho the
good Lord made the beautiful scenery
one views along the route@it took a
good engineer to put the road whore it
is.
The best part of the highway, from
both scenic and engineering stand
points, is located abeve the point and
cannot be seen from town. Here for
two miles the road has been cut out Of
the side of the mountains. most of the
distance being thru rock. The view
of the canyons along this route is fine,
the road bed being from several hun
dred to thousand feet above.
But it is on rounding the point that
one comes upon a scene that one cannon
describe in cold type. We had heard
Mr.. Roach and every one else who
has seen it exhaust their vocabulary
in talking of it and we are in the
same condition. In making the cut
around the point it was Necessary to
give the road bed width of about
eighty feet. so that cars may drive |
out Of the main track and park on the
outer edge, giving travellers time to
get good drink of the wonderful
view which takes in Lawyers canyon
to the west and directly below, and
the entire expanse of the Kamiah Val !
ley and considerable portions Of the
prairie sections across the canyon
and valley.
We have trveled the famed Lewis |
ton hill highway and the Whitebird /
hill, but are of the opinion that our
own Kamiah hill road VIII surpass |
them both as senic drive in the
minds of most folks acquainted with |
the three. We have the pine trees to
give living color to the landscape
while Lewiston hill lacks any green
coloring to speak of and there is very
little along the Whitebiird way.
Contractor Bair and the highway |
commissioners expressed themselves as
being satisfied with the progress on
the construction work. About two
miles of dirt work remains and it is
being carried on rapidly. The rock
erushers are at work and about half
mile of surfacing has been done. Ev-
cry department of the work seems to
be operating at top speed and the Tri- |
angle people are carrying out their
contract quite satisfactorily Prog

competition is not so great. In the
larger places he must make his way
against the rivalry of hundreds of
thousands of others. The percent
age Of chance for success is much
against him.
In the small city let the young
man go into business for himself or
connect himself with some sound,
growing concern. That is where
his opportunity lies. But hold on
to that first $1,000 until he has
his business course clearly defined.
1t is much Narder to get 1t than It
is to lose it.
But, after all, it depends on the
Individual. What would apply in
one case will not always apply in
another. Some men with 81 900 will
make a success anywhere, in the
large or small city. Nature has not
provided all men with the same
amount and quality Of brains. That
is the trouble.
Which is all the more reason why
the young man who has managed
to get together his first $1,000
should be sure Of his step, and hold
on to his money until he knows
not thinks-the right and safe kind
Of an investment presents itself
Then go ahead.
