PLAY MAKES BIG HIT.

The Cottonwood high school
play, "And Home Came Ted
made decided hit at Winona
last Friday evening when the
same was staged there to a
crowded house and from reports
coming from Winona they were
more than pleased with the pro-
duction.
The cast was accompanied to
Winona by the Cottonwood band
and orchestra and scores of town
folks. After the play dance
was given and the music was
furnished by the Cottonwood
orchestra.
The proceeds of the play
amounted to approximately $50
and when one considers that
Winona has only a store and post
office it was indeed a splendid
audience. The play drew people
into Winona for miles around.
The management Of the play was
more than pleased with the re-
suits. Next year Winona no
doubt will again be visited by a
similar aggregation from the
Cottonwood high school.

POLICY ALREADY PAID

II. H. Bennett, of Ferdinand,
who died in Spokane on May l
carried $4,000 life insurance in
the Northern Life, and his bene-
ficiary was his wife, Ida Belle
Bennett. This insurance was
written by August Schubert and
has already been paid by his
company. A check for the

May from the head office in
Seattle.
Mr.. Bennett had carried $2500
of this insurance for II years
and on the remaining $500 he
had only paid two premiums.
Mr.. Seubert is also under the
impression that Mr.. Bennett car
ried $4,000 in fraternal insur-
ance.

CLOSE CALL.

Cottonwood had another close
call from what might have been
a serious fire, Monday morning,
at the Cottonwood post office.
Postmaster Johnston was burn
ing trash in his stove and in or
der to assist the fire in annihila-
ting it he used a wooden. poker
to stir it up and when he had
completed the task placed the
poker in a wood box near by. He
then stepped out of the rear
door for a minute and when he
returned a fire was burning
briskly up the side of the wall.
Quick action saved the building
from destruction. Some docu-
ments were badly charred and
others burned beyond recogni-
ton.

DEPUTY COLLECTOR HERE.

Deputy Internal Revenue Col
lector Charles N. Brearley, was
a business visitor in Cottonwood
yesterday and while here called
number Of our citizens on the
carpet for technically violating
one of the many internal revenue
laws. The law violated by the
Cottonwood citizens was for the
lack of revenue stamps on deeds,
transferred from one owner to
another.
The law without question Of
doubt was violated in ignorance.
They were fined the minimum,
$40 on each deed which was
short of the necessary revenue
stamps. One man was COM
PEELED to pay a $40 fine.

LOOKS LIKE POLITICS.

From time to time the various
departments Of the state are ac-
cused Of playing politics in per-
forming the business connected
Herewith and sometimes people
are reluctant to take much stock
in such accusations and among
them has been the editor Of
the Chronicle.
One department, that has been
accused of mixing politics and
business together, more fre-
quently than any of the others,
is the state highway department
and we have what we consider
proof sufficient in our own
mind to believe them guilty.
When the state called for bids to
gravel the North and South
highway between Cottonwood
and Lawyers canyon, situated in
the Ferdinand and Cottonwood
highway districts, the law COM
peeled them to advertise the
same. One advertisement was
carried in the Spokesman
Review and the other well one
would naturally suppose from a
standpoint of common business
sense to be in the Ferdinand or
Cottonwood paper or at least in
the county seat paper-no the
same was found published in the
Kooskia Mountaineer. Think Of
it. We are not blaming Editor
Fem but we do blame the offici-
ais in charge for the act, which
on the face of it appears to us as
politics. The advertisement
should also have been run in the
Lewiston Tribune in preference
to the Washington paper and we
are quite positive would have
reached just as many contrac-
tors.
That's not all Of it. When
the state was ready To call for
bids they asked that some $780,
900 be turned over to them
which was the share of the Fer
dinand and Cottonwood districts.
An effort was made to have this
money remain on deposit in the
banks in the two highways dis
tricts until needed. Now here
again it looks like politics. The
same was turned over to the Of.
ficials and we suppose is now or
deposit in some pet bank ir
southern Idaho.

CANVASS VOTES SATURDAY

The board of county commits
sioners will canvass the vote on
the question of county agent at
Grangeville, Saturday. The COM
missioners mailed out $500 bal
lots to voters of Idaho county on
which was submitted the ques-
ton: "Shall the commissioners
of Idaho County make an appro-
priation for the county agent?
eyes or No." Of the $500 ballots
mailed, 2600 have been returned
to Auditor Telcher, considered
an exceptionally heavy vote and
shows that the people are TAX
ing a great deal of interest in the
question.
In last Saturdays Lewiston
Tribune under a special date line
from Grangeville, the Chronicle
was credited with stating that
the vote on this proposition
would be 2 to l against in the
county. The Chronicle, wishes to
place itself right on this matter
by correcting the statement
which was somewhat erroneous.
The Chronicle did predict that
the agent question would be de-
feated in the county and the 2 to
l vote applied only to Cotton
wood, which we still believe will
be the case, judging from all in
dicatiOnS.

walton of tracks in Kenosha and con-
tinuing to the elimination of grade
crossings at the, rate of two year

demand of the Kenosha aerie of the
fraternaI order of Eagles. The Eagles
have sent petition to the city coun-
Gil asking that immediate action be
taken to secure elevation of the tracks
of the company through Kenosha.

ular members and the crusade to pre-
vent others being killed will be in

brother, Trygve Udstuen, and
Whereas, On account of the acct
dent, we have been brought face to
face with the fact that the lives of
thousands of our citizens and their
children are daily endangered, and
whereas, Years ago the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway company
made an effort to elevate its right
of-way, but got no farther than the
purchasing Of property along its
right-of-way, therefore.
"Be 1t Resolved, That the Fraternal
Order of Eagles request the city man
ager and the common council of the
city of Kenosha to take such steps
necessary to compel the Chicago and
Northwestern Railway company to
eliminate its grade crossings as soon
as possible and thereby protect the
lives of thousands Of four citizens
and their children.

tative in the state legislature from

the Wisconsin state legislature, a bill
that will make it obligatory for every
eounty in the state to eliminate not
less than two grade crossings per
year, of all lines, both steam and cleo
trio interurbap railroads, the cost of
same to be apportioned by county of
fcials and the roads to be affected.
BE 1t Further Resolved, That a
