no white mans scalp ever had
hung in their wigwams. In
1855 Governor Stevens in a
treaty promised Joseph's faith
Ell, "Old Joseph" that he might
always occupy the Wallowa val
ley, but the treaty lands were
inviting and encroachments
soon began. Old Joseph refus-
ed to leave, however, and in
1872 on his death bed he coun-
ciled young Joseph never to give
up the land which held his faith
er's bones.
In 1875 government author
tiles decided to force Joseph to
go upon the Nez Perce reserva-
ton east Of Lewiston. Joseph
refused and the matter was
turned over to General O. O. Ho-
wad. A council was called, at
which Joseph, Olicut, Looking
Glass, White Bird, Dreamer
Priest, and others were in at
tendance. This is the council
depicted in the pageant.

months Of constant warfare
Joseph was attacked in a rag

from the British Columbia line
The fight continued for foul
days, and Joseph's people were

Herman Seubert came near
qualifying for a position along
with Barney Oldleld and other
speed demons on last Saturday
when he made a drive against
time from Cottonwood to Spo-
kane in taking Mrs. Medved to
that place to catch a Milwaukee
train to Butte to reach the bed
side of her dying brother. Her
man left this place in the edit
or's Dodge car shortly before 2
o'clock p. m. and rolled into
Spokane just in time to place
his passenger aboard the train
scheduled to leave for the east
at 8. By making this connec.
ton Mrs. Medved was enabled
to reach the bedside of hel
brother while he was still con.
scious and able to speak to hel
and bid her farewell. Half al
hour later he passed into {
comatose condition and remain
ed so until death claimed him
In view of this fact Herman
will have the deepest thanks O.
the editor and wife for all time
for his loyal work in making
the drive in record time owe,

WAS A FINE RAIN .

The entire prairie was vis-
tied Wednesday morning by a
two hour rain storm that ex-
ceeded in precipitation any
other so far this season. In
fact we have had practically
two weeks continuous stormy
weather which has almost con-
vinced the most sceptical that
Camas prairie has come back
again to its own and the dry
times of the past six years are
nought but a bad dream. At
present we have ample moist
ure for all purposes and now if
the weather man will only lay
off of this weep stuff for two
or three weeks and then give
us a couple of good showers late
in June and early in July the
farmers will call down blessings
on him and the prairie country
will turn off another crop SINH
lar those in the days before

Guire, of the Grant, Smith Con-

ler out of the mud and assist it
in reaching the surfaced road
at Lawyer canyon, after which
it progressed under it's own
power.

MISS CREVE
is HONORED
GETS IMPORTANT PLACE
IN UNIVERSITY
PAGEANT

Word was received here the
forepart of the week by c.. H.
Greve, from his daughter Jean
cite stating that she had been
honored by being selected to
take the leading part in the
great pageant to be presented
by students Of the University of
Idaho at Moscow on June 9th
when the students Of that in
stitution will depict the surren-
der of Chief Joseph, the famous
Nez Perce Indian Chieftain.
Miss Greve, who was a grad
uate of the Cottonwood high
school last year, has been at
tending the university since last
September and has shown
marked ability in the dramatic
line as we understand this is
the first time in the history of
the university that a junior pu-
pill has been selected for such an
important part. Cottonwood
can feel equally honored in hav-
ing one of her fair daughters
called to fill such an important
place.
The Moscow Star-Mirror has
the following to say regarding
the pageant:
Nez Perce War Provides
Thre Scenes In University
Pageant to be Given June 9
The famous Nez Perce war,
in which Chief Joseph and his
braves defied the troops of Gen
eral Howard for three months
in the Businesses of north Idaho
provides three dramatic scenes
for the University of Idaho pa
geant, "The Light on the Noun
tains," which will be rendered
on the evening. of June 9 as part
of the commencement exercises
First are shown Genera
Howard and the Indian agen-
ordering the Indians out of tht
: Wallowa country, under in
structions from the govern
ment.
''The old chief, Lawyer, solt
it," says the agent.
Joseph shakes his head.
Suppose a white man shoult
come to me-" he replies, "an'
say, Joseph, / like you
horses and l want to buy them
I say to him, "No, my horse
suit nae me, will not sell them
+ Then he goes to my neighbo
and says to him, Joseph ha
S some good horses; ] want t
: buy them but he refuses to sell
: My neighbor answers, Pay IN
i the money and I will sell yo
o Joseph's horses The whit
man returns to me and say
Joseph, l have bought you
+. horses and you must let m
have them If we sold ou
lands to the government this
the way they were bought"
II However, Joseph councils h
# braves to peace, but they fore
l. him into war.

close attention of the audience
for more than an hour and his
address was well worth hear
ing. The high school choir then
rendered another selection and
benedictfon was pronounced by
Rev. Poindexter.
On Monday evening at the high
school the class day exercises
were held and were thoroughly
enjoyed.
On Tuesday the graduating
class enjoyed their sneak, GO
ing as far as Craigmont and
Winchester, and last night the
curtain fell on the final act
when the commencement exer-
cises were held. =.
The exercises last evening
were perhaps the best ever held
held and were in proper accord
with the graduating class,
which was the largest the local
school has ever granted di-
plomas. The large hall was
comfortably filled and tastefully
decorated with class colors
while the stage was banked
with flowers. At the door the
mother Of each graduate was
presented with lovely rose,
a thoughtful gift of Miss Marg-
art Shinnick, and a special Sc
ction of seats were reserved
for the parents.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the pro-
gram started when the high
school orchestra began dispens-
ing a sweet medley Of national
airs and was carried out accord
ing to schedule as follows:

wish them well in life's journey
as well as thank the faculty foI
their efforts with the pupils
during the past term, after
which those present enjoyed
dancing for a couple cf hours.
In speaking of the program

perfectly and is worthy of th'
highest praise. The salutator,

That Bears Fruit

BRAWLEY, March 13.-Tom FL
lott, of the American Railway FIX
press, came in with the March winds
but alongside the official in the ex-
press car was hale and hearty avo-
cado tree which he will plant at the
Imperial Valley Country Club
grounds.
Mr.. Elliott believes in planting
productive trees. for shade. He
thinks that while it is possibly too
cold for avacados yet the mildness
Of the climate here az compared
with some other points where the
avocado flourishcs may mean sue
cess. Two other producing trees
that he believes should be planted
largely here are the olive and fig.
He cites the incident of the Fresno
man who put in Il vineyard and
along the borders planted fig trees.
Today the man gets sufficient
profit from the figs alone to make
his real estate holdings pay aside
from the grape end of it.
In the opinion of Elliott the I'm
perial Valley can get ample shade
from trees that produce fruit and he
mentions the fact that avocados are
selling in Los Angeles today for Il
dollar each. 'There's millions in
it, said Elliott.

following statement:
"The flu left me with such a
bad ease of stomach trouble and in
such rundown condition that J
even went to Hot Springs in an
effort to reeuperate. Gas pains,
after eating, and pains all through
my body were hard to bear. My
nerves and bladder bothered me
also, / couldn't get anJ sleep to
speak of, and after an hour or so
in the morning l felt completely
PLAYED out.
GA friend advised me to take
Tanlac, and the treatment just
seemed to tone up my whole sys-
TEN. My appetite came back strong,
the pains completely left me, and
I sleep like log every night now.

right thing for anyone suffering
