DAMAGE PROPERTY
HALLOWE' EN- EVE

Halloween pranks have grown in
to malicious mischief. The custom
Of harmless Halloween sport by the
boys seem to have grown too tame,
and the indulgence of destruction to
property taken its place, some of the
obstruction on last Friday evening
have the ear marks of work done by
grown-ups who evidently thought
malicious performance would be
blamed on the boys. The Fitch
Realty sign just south of town along
the highway torn down, the braces
removed with an ak or heavy ham
mer and the posts broken of at the
ground. The sign was an artistic
piece of work, Sc feet long by II feet
wide, requiring the work of twelve
men in raising it again in place.
The boys who disfigured the home
of o. X. Cartwright By throwing eggs
against the house were over stepping
the bounds of innocent sport. The
Y. L. Roberts home was badly dam
aged as the result a board being
placed over the chimney Of the fire
place, the interior of the main room
was mass Of SCOT and smoke.

F. NJ. FoSs WEARS THE BEST

One of the biggest deers ever
brought down from the hills was the
four point buck brought in from Lo-
man Sunday evening by F. NJ. Moss
and 1. L. Thurston, he was brought
down in the hide with the head on,
and is certainly a fine specimen.
Those familiar with the weight of
deer, estimate the weight at $50
pounds. He was killed by Mr.. Moss
last Saturday morning.
The interesting part of the story
took place after the killing. He was
dragged by hand down the hill side
a distance of about a half mile to
a trail near the creek bottom, then
to get the Carcass to where it could
be loaded into the car, the two sports
men proceeded to a ranger station
for horse. No one at home. an
old crow-bait standing in the yard
looked like he might do, a pack sad
die was found and everything went
lovely except a little persuasion tc
induce the stolen crow-bait close
enough to load, that was finally ac-
complished, but the worst was yet
to come A hundred yards of steep
hill side just below the trail to the
creek bottom A cayuse snort, a
wild west demonstration down the
steep embankment. Fred, crow-bait
back and the whole shooting mattel
end over end. When the conglomer.
alton came to rest, Fred was forked
end down, alright, but the cayuse
was bottom side up fast to his load
Not to be out done the ropes ware
loosened and the load reloaded. this
time with g. little mere precaution,
they reached the ear with their prize
Mr.. fhHeston was also successful
In bringing home his limit.

football team swamped Weiser under
an avalanche of passes and line
smashes, winning "a to 0. The game

ser fought hard but never reached
Payette's 10 yard line.
In the first quarter, Poust, Pay

two touchdowns on line smashes. The
other touchdown was made by Ash

the discovery that lew-powered sta

have greater efficiency with only a
fraction of the cost, declares Mar

wave lengths permit greater speed

they afford a wider range OF wave

amendment which would eliminate

vening that body in January after
elections. q
Several senators opposing the one
term proposals exclaimed they did so
to prevent that issue being confused
with the purpose of Senator Norris
resolution and indicated they might
support the plans of either Senator
Harris or Senator Willis. under diff

THIRD PARTY MOVE
Being PROMOTED BY
LAF0LLETTE GROUP

Washington. March 17.-Dcfinite
plans for a third party movement were
disclosed here today by friends of Sem
ator Lafollette of Wisconsin.
Supporters of the Wisconsin senator.
who is confined to his home by Illness,
said he had indicated willingness to
head an independent" ticket in the
event the Republican convention nomi-
mates President Coolidge and adopts
what he may consider to be reaction
airy or, ultar-conservative platform.
SO far has the movement proceeded
that investigation already had been
concluded in the different states to
ascertain feasible methods for placing
a third party ticket. headed by Lafol-
lette upon the ballots next November
Those behind the movement are now
looking for running mate for the
Wisconsin senator and their choice
seems to be Associate Justice Brandeis
of the United States supreme court.
The fact that Democrats are under
discussion for the second place is
pointed to as indicating the non-parti-
san character of the movement. The
name of Josephus Daniels. former sec
rotary of the navy, also has been urged
for second place.
Developments OF the third party
movement already are causing politi-
clans of the two old parties To calcu-
late it's probable effect upon the for
tunes of their tickets next November.
