Last Sunday evening the radio
brought in the tidings that blizzard
was raging up and down the U. S. A..
from Canada to Texas, and here in
Nezperce we were aware that an edge
of it was slipping over our way, but
none thought for moment the night
would bring our government thermom-
eter down to IL below zero, when it
stood 15 above as the shades of night
fell. That Is what it registered, though
III below. Monday and Monday
night saw d rising temperature; but on
Tuesday night the bottom fell out and
the mercury dropped to 20 below, just
for short time around 1000 o clock
and at midnight it was only below.
A rising condition has continued since,
and today we have clear sky and the
promise of the continued mild weather
which has predominated before this
drop.
There has been about eight inches
of snow on the ground for the past
ten days, and sleighing is fine.
As result of the sudden cold snap,
al. Huff, the local plumber, has had
some 40 calls to repair frozen water.

town are much scarcer

Christmas at the Catholic Church.

Christmas and New Years Day
were well observed at the local Cath
olic church and st. Augustine s church
at Russell. On Christmas morning a
large crowd attended the solemn High
Mass at clock. The services were
very impressive and the singing beau
tiful, with Miss Elnora Medved at
the organ.
Z The decorations arranged by Father
Zuur and the Sisters are fine and will
delight many during the season.
/ The Christmas season in the Cath
'olic church will close at the feast of
Epiphany, Jan. 9th.
The faithful at Russell also had
services on Christmas morning az
1880 and many attended. On Father
Zuur's return to Nezperce, horsepower
had to help the engine power to make
five or six hills between Russell and
Nezperce, but after many struggles
Nezperce was reached safely and sup
per tasted better than on any previous

Mrs. w. J. Belts Recovering From
Burns.

The doctor in charge of the case,
stated today that Mrs. w. J. Belts
is recovering as rapidly as could be
expected from the severe burns she
sustained Monday, when her, clothing
came in contact with red hot stove
and caught fire. The family reside on
the Geo. Christensen place eight miles
northeast of town, and Mrs. Belts
was in room by herself near the
stove. In STOPPING over to get some
thing on the floor, her dress touched
the hot stove and was in flames be-
fore she realized it. She had the pres
ence of mind to jump in bed and
smother the flames with the covering,
but not until her legs, back and arms
had been painfully but not deeply
burned.

On last Thursday Governor Moore
appointed Miles s. johnson, of Lewis
ton, judge of the Tenth Judicial dis
trict of Idaho, to fill out the unex-
pired term of the late Judge Wallace
N. Scales. Judge johnson took the
oath of office on the following day,
which oath was administered by Thos,
ID. Barton, clerk of the district court
in Ncz Perce county, and he at once
took steps to have the work in the dis
trict under way as early as possible.
Three candidates for the position re-
ceived consideration, they being Judge
Miles S. Johnson, Frederick 8. Randall
and Eugene 0'Neil, all of Lewiston
The tenth district comprises Nez
Perce, idaho and Lewis ounties.
Among state officials the impression
has been that Mr.. johnson would re.
ceive the appointment. He is under
stood to have had the endorsement of
large number of republican leaders
in north Idaho, and of many attor-
neys and judges throughout the state.
He has been special counsel for the
state department Of finance for sew
eral years, and was formerly assistant
United States attorney for Idaho.
Governor Moore said that out of
approximately 100 endorsements he re-
ceived, rs percent were for Mr.. John
son.
Hon Miles S. johnson came to Lew
iston in July, 1898, and he has since
been engaged in law practice there.
He is product of the west, having
been born in Portland, Ore, of pio
neer parents on both sides. His grand
father, Rev. William johnson, was "A
Baptist missionary in Oregon in is46,
and his grandfather, William Post,
was the president of the first Baptist
college established in Oregon at Ore
gon City, in 1853.
Judge Johnson was admitted to the
practice of law in December, 1898, in
Colorado. Upon coming to Lewiston
he at once engaged in the practice Of
law and was elected to the office of
attorney in Nez Perce
county in 1900 and filled this position
for four years. He was assistant u.
s. attorney for Idaho from 1905 to
1908 and was again prosecuting attor-
new of Nez Perce county for 1875.
During the administration of Governor
D. w. Davis he was special attor-
ney for the state engaged in the prose
cution of the 'blue sky law.
Tn the matter of the term of office
to which Judge johnson is appointed,
q supreme court decision rendered at
the time Judge Bulge was elevated to
the supreme bench from the district
bench, would indicate the appointment
will cover the entire unexpired term.

Rev. DR.. N. B. Harrison, well knowr
in this region because of his work al
the Talmaks Indian camp meeting
where he has been for many years ths
leading speaker. He is a man of the
right type for union meetings. There

of the leading churches in that denom-
nation
DR.. Harrison is preacher of the
constructive type. There is no sensa-
tionalism in his method While he
does not mince words on the destruc-
tive power of sin, his attitue toward
the sinner is that of father who
warns his children against danger, but
does it in the spirit of love and tender
ness.
Many people in Nezperce have heard
DR.. Harrison preach and give Bible
readings at the Talmaks camp-meer-
ing. He has also held revival meet
ings at Winchester and at Craigmont.
The finest compliment that could be
paid to him is the fact that he is al
ways welcome to return for other en-
gagements. Craigmont has called for
him again this year, but DIR. Har-
rison IS schedule is already full for the
entire year. He win hold meetings,
however, al, Grangeville.
Local churches look forward with
much hope to the coming revival The
members of these churches gave DIR.
