party at the Niles home in East Neg
perce last Monday afternoon in cele
bration of her s5th birthday. Mrs
Dole, who makes her home in Colfax
with SON, has been the guest Of her

Most interesting hnd entertaining
of the features of the afternoon 's
program were the "reminiscences by
Mrs. Dole of a life covering a long
period of our eountry's history, where
in exciting experiences on the western
edge of the stormy Civil War times
were a part. The venerable lady, who
is well preserved in mind and body,
was born in Ohio. She removed with
her parents to Illinois, and later to
Kansas, locating near Lawrence, where
she was married and soon thereafter
saw her husband don the uniform of
his country and march away to war
She came in close touch with the rav-
ages of this war when the bushwhack-
er, Quantrell, made his raid in Law
renee and a pitched battle followed |
She moved to Colfax in 1898 and 81 |
years ago her husband died. She rear
ed six children of her own, besides
four grandchildren.
The party concluded with delightful
served by the hostess.

NEzPERcE cHAUTAUoUA JUNE
21-26.

The announcement of our Chautau
qua dates was received from Portland
the first of this week, and with il
comes the assurance that we are to
have an exceptionally strong program
this year, with excellent entertain.
ment features predominating. Instead
of one play, such as we have had for
the past two seasons, there win be
two, and both are of the quality so
much enjoyed in our last two Chau-
tauquas.
The dates, June 21 to 26, inclusive,
are a little later than usual and better
suited to conditions here, coming at a
time when there is sort of lull be-
tween the spring and summer work on
the farms. The details of the program
viii be published as soon as they are
available.

McNary-Ha,,gen Bin Activitx.

The McNary- Haugen bill will prob
ably come to vote in the Senate be-
fore the 10Th of the month and indi,
cations now are that it will pass this
by eight or tea majority. 1t may not
reach the House before the latter part
of the month and reports indicate that
it is gaining strength every day in this
branch of congress.
Congressman John w. Summers is
probably doing more to secure this
legislation than any other member of
congress, according to reports received
from the national capitol. Congress
man Summers has written several very
able articles on the bill, which have
been furnished for publication in tens
of thousands of newspapers through
out the country.
tMr. Summers is an extensive
wheat raiser, owning and operating
ranches comprising about $500 acres of
wheat land in the Walla Walla terri
tory. For this reason, he is intensely
interested in the McNary- Haugen bill
and certainly is not classed with those
who claim that the legislation will do
the farmer more harm than good, q
states H. E. Goidsworthy, secretary of
the Washington Export Commission
League. If all our congressman from
The wheat raising districts were work
ing as earnestly and diligently as is
Summers, there could be
10 question as to the result of the bill. 4

Mrs. Levi Sleighter died at 300 o.
clock on the morning of April 9Th al
her home near Russell, in giving birth
to child, which did not survive. Her
untimely end brought sadness to this
community as well as the neighborhood
in which she had lived since early
childhood.
The funeral was conducted at 1000
o clock this morning at the Catholic
church in this city by the pastor, Rev.
Father Zuur. The attendance was large
and many beautiful floral offerings
were banker about the casket. The re-
mains were inferred in the local Cath
olic cemetery.
The deceased was 81 years and six
months of age and was the only living
child of Mr.. and Mrs. James Maher,
esteemed pioneers of the Russell dis
trict, and she became the wife of Mr..
Sleighter three years ago. They have
since made their home on his farm in
her old neighborhood. The many
friends of the family feel deepest sym
pathy for them in this great loss.
Among those attending the funeral
from a distance were Mr. and Mrs.
Jas. Maher and his three nephews
from Lewiston.

THE JURY CASES.
Decision Against Sullivan on Prom
issory Note; Mistrial in Note
Case Against johnson.

Following quiet Monday in the
district court which had convened
here week before, the Tuesday ses-
sion opened with the promise of much
greater interest in the fact that for
the first time in year the Lewis
county term was to see jury trial.
The first case docketed was that of
a suit on a promissory note by the
First National Bank of Chewslah,
Wn., against VIM. Sullivan. The

after the noon recess. The suit in
volved $4,000 note, an alleged forg-
cry of Ernst weinss, cashier Of the
closed Union State Bank, against VIM.
Sullivan, which in course of business
had become the property of the Chew
elah bank. The evidence disclosed
that in succeeding transactions, Mr..
Sullivan had given his note for $25o0
for consideration including the forged
paper. The suit was brought to collect
ef&S aoeAOA httIf anu u fSiAttt was tcu-
dered for the plaintiff for the $4,000,
and 1920 interest and attorneys fees.
The case of the Creston State Bank

for the collection of note for $4,000,
alleged to have been made by Mr..

Few recent events have gained more
distinction for our public schools and
our community than the winning of
the Spokesman-Review Oratorical Con-
test in the Lewiston district by Miss
Gabrielle Robertson in the Clearwater
metropolis last Friday night. The
competition was keen and of unusual
merit up to this semi-final phase of
the contest, and at Lewiston the Nez-
perez representative met some of as
good talent as the best high schools In
the country may boast. She made her
audience and her judges "sit up and
take notice." and carried away the
honors by sheer ability. The right
spirit was shown by the Nezperce
Commercial Club, when, through its
executive committee, il passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:

Agriculture Department Reviews
Weeks DEVELOPMENT.

A decidedly weaker tone developed
In the grain market during 1he week
ending October 25 states the United
States Department of Agriculture in
it's weekly grain market review. The
continued heavy movement of wheat
resulting in the accumulation of
heavy stocks at the terminal mark cts
totaling more than S5,000,000 bushels,
together with less activity in foreign
buying weakened the wheat mark ct
while dry weather favorable for
maturing the corn crop caused a
downward trend in corn prices. Oats
and other grains followed wheat and
corn in the downward movement
The marketing of wheat during the
first three months of the crop move
ment has been the heaviest since 1921.
Based upon inspections at inspection
points about so per cent of the
marketable surplus of wheat moved
to market during July. August and
September compared with about 40
per cent of last years smaller crop
