The case of Coolidge is not anala-
gous but it is similar. Coming to
the convention Of 1920 with dele
gates pledged to his nomination for
the Presidency, Mr.. Coolidge polled
no high ballot and was soon almost
lost sight of in the scramble be-
tween Governor Lowden and General
Wood. When the leaders i'll that
race collapsed and Harding from
the field shot through a winner,
Coolidge was still lost sight of among
the leaders but not among the dele
gates. The party leaders placed in
nomination for the Vice Presidency.
Senator Lenroot Of Wisconsin, ex-
pecting him to go over. But the
delegates remembered Coolidge and
forced his nomination. They recalled
his record as Governor Of Massachu-
sets and the fate of that moment

a June day has made a President of
the United States. The same event
sidetTacked a young, square-jawed,
sandy-haired Senator from Wiscon-

most powerful Office in the world.

UD Well In Great Loss

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s-Mrs.

under her grievous loss, had the
services of a nurse Throughout last

accompanied the President on his
western trip a~lternated as her COM
panions.

tive had stood the strain we'll but
had had little real rest. She en-
phasized, however, that Mrs. Har-
ding was far from COLLAPSE or hys-
terra and had made no evidence of
her emotion beyond the expression
of her grief natural in the circum-
stances.
Mrs. Harding, although greatly
shocked by the death of her hus-
band, arose early this morning after
a short sleep, directing all affairs
and looking after the welfare of the
party.

ANOTHER Oil
STATION HERE
LEWISTON OIL co. WILL PUT
IN PLANT TO WHOLE
SALE GASOLINE.

Cottonwood is to have another
wholesale gasoline station, the
Lewiston Oil company, of Lewis
ton, having last week purchased
from Joseph South and. Frank
Hanley three lots near the South
blacksmith shop upon which
their large tanks will be station
ed. The cement foundations have
been laid which are to hold the
immense storage tanks. The
tanks will arrive in Cottonwood
tonight by trucks and will be
placed in position at once.
Sam Skilleln, one Of the own
ers of the company was in Cot
tonwood last week and made az
rangements with the Cotton
wood Garage to handle the sta
ton for them. They will handle
and sell gasoline, coal oil and
distillate in wholesale quantities.
The company will be known as
the Camas Oil Company. They
operate wholesale stations at
Craigmont, Boise and Lewiston.
At the present time two $500
gallon tanks will be erected but
this fall their storage capacity
will be increased to 100000
gallons.
Until the decision of the Lew
iston Oil company to locate here
Cottonwood has had only one
firm dealing in gasoline, The
Continental Oil company.
What effect the new company
will have on the price Of whole
sale or retail gasoline from the
filling stations remains to bt
seen but it is reported that there
will be no cut.
Those in charge expect to have
the new station in running ordel
the last Of this week.

CHOPS ALFALFA.

J. w. Williams last week COM
pleted the task of chopping OF
rother cutting $50 tons of
alfalfa hay. Mr.. Williams stated
that this was a new way in
which he plans to handle his
alfalfa hay in the future. The
two big advantages in chopping
the hay to bits are that it takes
less room to store the same and
the other it has greater feeding
value.
Mr.. Williams hos a machine,
especially designed for this work
and after the alfalfa is chopped
it is .tlown into the barn in the
same manner that the straw is
blown from a threshing machine.
Mr.. Williams is one of the
heaviest growers of alfalfa in
this section.

tor BOrah discus the question.
From Cottonwood the senate
will go to Ferdinand where he
will deliver a similar speech, the
following day, Tuesday.
Some are accusing Senator
Borah Of being out on a political
tour, but be that as it may, the
senator is out getting acquaint-
ed with the voters which he has
a perfect right TO do and while
some politicians in his own party
are attempting to defeat him for
reelection Borah will come out
with more votes TO the good than
has ever been known in his poll
tical career.
Men of Senator Borah's cali
bree are few and far between
and the people are not going to
stand back and let few politi-
clans defeat him.
When big cities go wild" over
him it should indeed be an honor
to Cottonwood to have man OF
his reputation speak here and he
will be faced again by a packed
house in our prediction.
