For the last couple of years the prices for everything used in a printing office—and_ especially for the publication of a news- paper—have been constantly climbing until there is not a cent profit any longer in yearly sub- scriptions at $1.50. Thousands of weekly newspapers throughout the country have been forced to raise their rates of subscription as well as advertising, and publishers not doing so are rapidly going out of business. Even the postage on newspapers has been greatly in- creased recently. The Chronicle does not intend to go out of business, for the rea- son that we intend to raise the rates to offset the increased ex- pense, whatever that may be— just the same as all other busi- nesses are forced to do. Beginning July 1, next month, the yearly subscription price of the Chronicle will be $2, payable strictly in advance. In order that none may feel that “snap judgment,” is being taken, all of our subscribers whose subscriptions expire within the next year will be permitted to re- new at the old price of $1.50, IF PAID BEFORE JULY 1. Of our vast army of our sub- scribers we do not believe that one of them will object to this slight raise, as we feel sure that all of | them are fair-minded enough to believe in the good old honest pol- icy of “‘live and let live.” Wm. Eller, former deputy sher- iff, and Geo. W. Marshall, stock- men of the Salmon river country, were in town Wednesday. These gentlemen, along with several other law-abiding citizens, are | tice the murderers of Henry Soards, an old man who was shot to death in his cabin near White- bird a few weeks ago, and the cab- in then dynamited and burned over the dead body. Half a doz- en or more of his neighbors, who are suspected of the cowardly crime, will be given a chance to explain to the grand jury just what they know about this most cowardly murder ever committed in Idaho county. A call for 20 grand jurors to report on June 6| at the court house in Grangeville was issued Tuesday, presumably for the purpose of investigating the killing of Soards. | _—EE Ee L. L. Caldwell, publicity mana- ger for the Ellison-White Chau-/| tauqua Association of Portland, brought several hundred pounds of advertising matter and spent Monday with our citizens in the interest of the coming Chautau- qua session to be held in Cotton- wood the week beginning June} |22. This will be the greatest; |event ever held in Idaho county| and will be attended by many | hundreds of people from all over} \this portion of the state.

Director General McAdoo has very properly declar- ed that the rate must be 8c a mile all over the United States, and that the rate for soldiers and sail- ors is one cent a mile. Freight rates have been raised about 25 per cent on all roads, These rates will go into effect June 10. Judging from his pictures in the papers, McAdoo is a “hard look- Hail or Fire Insurance You can not take the chances of losing your grain by fire or hail at this time so remember, I write insurance for the ‘Home Insurance Company New York We pay all losses immediately brainiest men in the nation.

McGuire, residing near Keuterville, just over the line in Lewis county, left herealone about three weeks ago for Arizona, with the intention of locating down there. Word has just been receiv- ed here that he is under arrest in Arizona, on the charge of having failed to register for army service. If this is true, it is difficult to fig- ure out why McGuire would take such chances, as he hasa wife and several small children, and there-! fore would not have been forced to do army service anyway. es A traveling street carnival out- fit, with the usual dancing bears, dancing girls, two-headed calf, short-legged mule—and what not —applied to our city council this| week for a license to show here for a few days in June. But the council decided that the town could perhaps struggle along for awhile yet without such a show, and refused to grant the license. And the carnival company went | “on its way rejoicing.” NOTICE FUEL USERS U. S.
