ALFRED FUNKE WINS A FREE
TRIP TO CHICAGO

Another nice honor came to a Cot

community, this week when word
was received here yesterday to the
effect that Alfred Funke, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Funke, had been a.
warded a prepaid trip to the Interna-
tional Livestock Exposition in Chica-
go by reason of having received the
highest credit of any boy in club
work in the state of Idaho.
The free trip to Chicago was the
special prize offered to club members
by Armour & Co., and the record
made by young Funke in winning ov-
er all the other club members of the
state is indeed one of which to be
proud. Alfred is at present attend
ing the state university at Moscow,
where he is taking the regular agri-
cultural course, and will leave for
Chicago the day before Thanksgiving.
1t is quite possible that he will be
included among the Idaho boys to
enter the big stock judging contest
at the big show-Cottonwood Chron-

WINTER CARNIVAL PLANS
UNDER WAY

The commercial club is hitting its
stride for the coming big carnival of
winter sorts. Some of the coPnmit-
tees have been appointed and are
busy preparing the preliminaries for
active work, and the full program
will be worked out at the next reg
ular meeting of the club. Secretary
Robins is preparing to write few
thousand letters and get out his adj
vertising for the big event. Some
of last winters features that proved
so popular will be stressed at the
next meet. 1t is certain that more
dog teams will participate in all
races, and the snowshoe horse race
will occupy prominent place on the
program. Funds for the carnival
will be raised in the same manner as
for the previous one, and a commit
tee is now at work ON the matter.
The home people, as well as those
from the outside, are more enthusi-
astic about the event this year than
they were last. 1t Is understood
that the toboggan chute will be con-
Immediately and the ski
jump track will be constructed nearer
town, where the whole crowd can at
tend. Matters in connection with the
coming carnival look altogether love

ERLAN PETERSON INJURED

Last Friday, while Erlan Peterson
was riding one of his horses and
leading another by a rope, the lead
animal SHE'D jerked back pulling the
rider off his horse, landing him on
the ground, and he received frac-
tured shoulder and right arm.
Mr.. Peterson has been coming to
town regularly, Notwithstanding, and
if we hadn't noticed the armless
sleeve, it is doubtful if we would
have been appraised of the accident,
as he is rather timid of newspaper
publication. He is getting along
nicely at the present time.-Ferdin-

FINE COMMUNITY SPIRIT

With real pleasure we read in the
Idaho County Enterprise that Stites
has taken preliminary steps to Sc
cure the erection of a community hall
in that town. Every town should
have a civic center adapted to the
many public uses to which such
structure can be put, and Sites is
moving in the right direction to meet
its needs in this regard.
Kooskia's Memorial Hall has serv-
ed many useful purposes since 1t was
built and to it has tended to strength
en- and stimulate community spirit
and cooperation. There are factors
very worth while in all progressive
development and whatever encourages
them is a public benefit. Sites is to
be congratulated upon the action 1T
has taken and we hope for a speedy
realization of the towns worthy
aspirations-Koskia Mountaineer.
