The delegation of West- ern business men who went to Washington a few days ago for the purpose of trying to get the price of western wheat raised to the Chicago price, $2.20, succeed- ed in “prying” the price up from $2.05 at Pacific Coast terminals, which was announced in all the papers last week. But since that time a lucky row occurred be- tween the administration leaders who have this matter in hand, with the result that the western price of wheat for this season has’ just been raised to practically the same as the Chicago prices—less the freight to Pacific coast termi- nals. The reason given is that the low water rate of $3.50 a ton from Pacific Coast points to New| York, via the Panama canal, | makes the higher prices possible. | Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Johnston, | our new hotel people, are fitting | upand furnishing in most elegant style a large sample room for the accommodation of commercial | travelers. Owing to lack of prop- | er accommodations of this kind, | as well as. general hotel service, drummers had almost completely boycotted this hotel. Under the | le WwW | | | | | | The editors of North Idaho are to hold a two days’ convention in Moscow March 15-16. The bur- dens of the war, which have forced | the publisher to bear a load almost beyond his strength to carry, has made it necessary that the pub- lishers meet and discuss the situ- ation. The cost of running a paper is growing at such a rate as to threaten to swamp many of them. At the same time the edi- tor is called on by every depart- ment of the government for un- limited free publicity. The meet- new management the public now | finds the Cottonwood the clean- est, neatest and most comfortable country hotel in Idaho, with very | reasonable rates. The cooking and table board are the best to be had anywhere. Whenever possi-, ble the drummers now go out of | their way, and even lay overa | day, in order to spend Sunday at, this hotel—something unheard of here for many years. | Among the stockmen from this section who attended the Stock- | men’s Conference at Spokane last | week was J. F. Jenny, president of the Cottonwood Milling & Ele-| vator Co., who is at present feed-| ing nearly 1000 of the company’s hogs at his fine stock farm one mile north of town. The conduct | of J. F. in the city must have even got his picture in the Spo- kane Chronicle—along with four other prominent stockmen. Mr. Jacob Reidhaar was in town Wednesday from his Greencreek ranch and bought, through Post- master Nash, War Savings Stamps to the amount of $960. Mr. Reid- haar realizes that no better or safer investment can be made, and that idle money can not be put to better use at this time. Many others in this section should follow the excellent example set by Mr. Reidhaar. Se Those of our citizens having sons or friends in France are ask- ed to keep this office posted as to their correct addresses—as the | boys will look wild-eyed each week for their Chronicle and the news from home. Since going to} France the boys are scattered and not all together like they were | before going across. That man McAdoo has a long head and clear vision. He wants to curtail passenger business on the railroads to make room for freight, and has sensibly decided been “something fierce,” as he | rectory just issued to local patrons! ing is for the purpose of discuss- ing some of the difficulties con- fronting the printers. The U.S. Department of Agri- culture, all trade and farm papers, county agents and all other medi- ums have made ita national is- sue to name the week beginning March 4thas “Implement Inspec- tion and Repair Week.” Every farmer of the nation is asked to devote that week to inspecting and_ repairing his machinery and getting it in condition for the Spring work. The Japs have finally started in to drive the German scourge and plague out of Eastern Siberia. It is their intention to have an army of halfa million Japanese soldiers in the Vladivostock and Port Arthur sections within the next 30 days—and then watch the hair, teeth and shells fly! — The new Pacific telephone di- | was printed just before the Chron- jicle had its phone installed—is the reason the name does not ap- pear in the directory. But don’t fail to holler at us any time you wish anything at this office! Our | number is 372. | Over in the Joseph Plains coun- |try the people are fully 100 per |cent patriotic. Friday night they }gave a ball and basket social in | the Reed schoolhouse, for the ben- | efit of the Red Cross, which netted $170. Surely a creditable showing for sucha sparsely-settled com- | munity. Just now some people are pay- ing out good money for automo- bile license tags who are too poor to invest in war saving stamps. But then it takes alk kinds of peo- ple to make patriots!—Lewiston anner. a So far, March shows symptoms of “coming in like a lamb.” Therefore we may expect to see it “go out like a lion”—according to the old superstition. peta shia A good many small boys are so patriotic that they want to ob- serve soapless days seven days out of the week.
