|| COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE "ea 7 VOLUME 26. NUMBER 24. COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, JUNE 14, 1918. ". $1,50 PER YEAR, * STREETS TO BE MACADAMIZED Long-delayed Work to Be- gin Soon. Since a couple of miles on each of the several main roads leading into town are to be macadamized —as per call for bids in this paper —our enterprising citizens very properly figure that it would be a disgrace to the town if our main streets are left in worse shape than the country roads. Therefore, it is the intention to arrange to macadamize several of our principal ‘streets to connect with the similar work on the coun- ty roads at the city limits. With this end in view, a peti- tion is being circulated which should and no doubt will be sign- ed by every citizen and property owner in town, asking our mayor and city council to order this work done. The expense will not be great, and property owners will find that it will be the best investment they ever made, as it will increase the value of their property much more than the cost of macadamizing will amount to. Besides, it will put our town on the map along with every other progressive town in the country. Cottonwood ap- pears to be the only town of this size (1000 people) in the United States with no street improve- ments of this kind—and surely our people do not wish to lag be- hind the procession any longer in these matters. A bunch of our boosters made an auto trip Sunday to Waha hill between here and Lewiston to in- spect that road, which is made of the same material that is contem- plated for our streets and roads. The party was composed of High- way Engineer A. J. Warren, Au- gust Schroeder, J. F. Jenny, Geo. M. Robertson, M. M. Belknap, J. V. Bakerand Fred Simon. These gentlemen feel satisfied that the material used on the Waha hill is the best and cheapest to be had, and it is more than likely that the same kind will be used on our roads and streets, Local Boys in Draft. Idaho county will send 98 men to Camp Lewis the latter part of this month. Following are those to go from Cottonwood and vicin- ity: "Geb, Seubert, Arthur Rhoades, Clem Hussman, Frank Schober, Carl Farthing, Raimon_ Triplett, John Rooke, Andrew Drube, Ed Von Oy, Anton Bruegeman, Clyde Leonard, Bernard Hattrup, Roy Triplett, Barnra Wensman, Julius Holthaus, Lawrence Lustig, Leroy Terwillegar, Geo.

The Idaho County Association of Odd Fellows met in regular an- nual convention at Ferdinand last Wednesday, 12th, with a good at- tendance. In the forenoon an open meet- ing was held when those not mem- bers were invited and a general musical and speech-making pro- gram was staged, with Grand Marshal Reese Hattabaugh as the main speaker. ahs met in secret session, chose Cottonwood as the meeting place for next year and elected officers. At six o’clock a Hoover dinner was served in the lodge hall, and at the evening session the Rebek- ah degree staff exemplified the work in the degree toa class of five. The rain up there was much heavier than here, and it forced a number of Cottonwood people to stay all night at Ferdinand—in the dark, at that—as the light- ning struck a telephone pole in town, putting their electric wires out of business. SE Set War Savings Day. June 28th has been designated by the President of the United States as War Savings Day. Ex- tensive preparations are being made all over the country for the campaign to obtain signed pledges for the purchase of War savings certificates during the balance of | returned to Cottonwood, after an| the year. The quota expected to be obtained is $20 per capita. This makes the amount for Idaho County approximately $260,000. Sales up to the present. time’ are somewhat less than $40,000, leav- ing $220,000 to be sold during the balance of the year. To obtain this amount it will be necessary for many persons to purchase the er from Perham, Minn., has ac-| in his Ford, which was left there| stamps in large quantities, as of cepted a position with the Cot-/ the day before slightly out of fix course there are many who can’t and others who will not purchase any of the certificates. These certificates are an ideal way to invest small savings, from week to week and from month to month, besides our country needs the money derived from the sales. Idaho county has met every de- | mand in the past and it is hoped | that it will go over the top in the! matter of the purchase of war sav- ings certificates and thrift stamps. The Ellison-White Chautauqua people have been writing us every | few days for the past six weeks saying they would send usa lot of attractive advertising dope in plate-matter form, but nothing of the kind has shown up yet. It may be here in time for our next issue, The United States Government Cooperates with the 7,600 member banks in maintaining the Federal Reserve Banking System for the protection of the business interests of the country. This cooperation greatly in- creases the value of the system to us and our community. Are you linked up with this new national sytem as one of our depositors? If not, you should delay no longer.

Last Sunday he and his wife, the two Vansise girls and Miss Florence Dryer of Kooskia, were on the way to Winona to see the ball game, but they never reached there. On the hill at the Huffman farm their Ford car bucked over the hill and upset on the entire crowd, but luckily all escaped without a scratch, except the “Colonel,” who lost enough skin off one ear to almost half-sole his rubber boots.. While the entire weight of the car was resting on the colonel’s ear, it is reported that he “said a few things” that acted like an explosion, and which turned the car over on its feet again. The car was not damaged, except the top which looked like it had been through the war. —_v—_—— + Old Sot Duly Eclipsed. The eclipse of the sun Saturday evening was “duly observed” here —through smoked glasses. It re- quired about one hour for the moon to pags in front of Old Sol— allowing that great and popular lighting system to do business again on the same old route, Everybody seemed well pleased with the unusual show, except the chickens, which all “went to bed” and had. to get out again in an hour or so, looking sort of down in the mouth, This joke is told on Amos Rose, the good-natured “undertaker.” He had heard that in order to see the eclipse to best advantage it was necessary to smoke glass, Someone found Amos behind a woodpile with a pipe-full of ground glass, mixed with tobacco, smok- ing and puffing away till his eyes stuck out like a bug’s. By the time he got his glass smoked prop- verly the eclipse was over and Old Sol peeped over the moon and made faces at Amos. Siniesioitiviauaent Grandma Howell went to Gif- ford the fore part of this week to visit her son Robie for awhile. A big dance will be given at Keuterville next Tuesday night in honor of the drafted boys from that vicinity who will leave on the 28rd for Camp Lewis. The Nezpercers defeated the Fenn Red Cross team at Ilo Wednesday. But the game net- ted a nice bunch of $ for the Red Cross—the main thing that counts. The grand jury is still at work investigating the Soards murder case and expects to finish examin- ing witnesses tomorrow. Already about 50 witnesses from the White- bird section have been examined.
