Se +: COTTONWOOD AND VICINITY SAARAAARABARAAARARARARARARARARARARARBABABRARE? AR Harold Shutt, one of the regu- lar Chronicle artists, is indisposed this week and unable to work. Miss Lucille Sasse of Ferdinand is helping us out with the type work for a few days. Dr. Boyce has just had the Pa- cific States telephone installed in his residence—so that those want- ing his services can now talk to him over both phones at the same time. Charles Gerber of North Yak- ima, one of the best butter-mak- ers in the Northwest, has accept- ed a position with the local cream- ry, which is good news for the many patrons of this popular in- stitution. His family will join him here later on. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Schaefer of Greencreek were in town Wed- nesday subcribing for the Chroni- cle and looking after other busi- ness matters. Mr. Schaefer and his brother-in-law, A. J. Wass- muth, made a flying business trip to Lewiston Saturday in an auto. The Cottonwood and Ferdinand band boys were delightfully en- tertained at a big chicken pie din- ner by the Grangeville Cowboy band before the exercises last - night. A county band boosters assn. was formed in which the following officers were elected:} H. W. Shutt, pres., Harold Har- _ Tis, sec, and “‘treas..’”” H. G. Sasse, J. B. Hattrup and Prof. Menke—} Board of Control. Wn. Lies returned home Wed- nesday from Lewiston, bringing his sister, Miss Anna, who recent- ly underwent a successful oper- ation in the hospital there for ap- pendicitis, They made the trip in Bill’s new Oldsmobile roadster. A number of his young friends honored Geo. Arnzen with a very pleasant surprise party Wednes- day evening at the home_ of his brother John. George left with the other drafted boys this morn- ing for Camp Lewis. Everybody and all their neigh- bors, friends and relatives will at- tend our big celebration near the Monastery on the Fourth. Able speakers will be present, lots of good music and singing, and a general good time for evérybody. But don’t forget that basket! The big auction sale of the P. N. Huffman property was held today at the ranch 11 miles east of town, Col. Zuver officiating. A very large crowd is in -attend- ance, but we have not learned how keen the bidding is. Mr. Huffman and family will leave next week for their elegant new home in Clarkston. Those of our readers who de- sire to attend the Cadmean Chau- tauqua at Grangeville beginning next Wednesday should remem- ber that this is a different com- ‘pany entirely from the Ellison- White Chautauqua that just fin- ished a 6-days’ session at Cotton- wood yesterday.

D. McGuire Returns From Arizona. W. D. McGuire of the Westlake country arrived home this week from Arizona, where he went a couple of months ago, expecting to locate down there. He was in town Wednesday and informed us that he was under arrest for sev- eral days in Arizona on suspicion that he was of draft age and with- out a registration cards. As soon as the officers down there could get into communication with the draft board at Nezperce it was learned that McGuire was past the draft age of 31 years and he was promptly liberated. W. D. says the Arizona officers are in the habit of arresting every stranger who goes to that state and forces them to prove that they are not evading the laws in any manner. The consequence is that there are many unjust ar- rests. Se ge ter as follows: without. out a cookstove or milk cow.” tion of rain that fell Saturday night and Sunday. He figures will put on a show of this kind at Winona—if he has to do all the performing himself—high dive, singing, jig-dancing and all. Jess McKinley and _ family were in town Wednesday from their ranch home near Fenn. Jess used the excellent judgment of subscribing for the Chronicle several years in advance in order to get the benefit of the old low rate of $1.50 a year; as after July 1st the rate will be $2 a year. Gerhard Uhlenkott of Keuterville also made a nice saving of this ‘kind by paying 8 years in ad- vance, —_9-——__—— Jack Lloyd, the telephone lines- man, saw his opportunity Tues- day to win alittle fame by going up a notch or two in the world. He did this by climbing to the top of our 100-foot flag pole and fastened a rope on which to hang our Service and Honor flags, which now float again just below the big national flag, but on a separ- ate rope. Jack had the honor of having his picture taken while he was at the top of the pole—surely enough fame to well repay him for the rather hazardous risk he made—even if his picture does re- semble a monkey ona beanpole. Somebody’s carelessness might have resulted in a big fire Tues- day night. About 1 o’clock sev- eral men on the way home from the dance at the Orpheum dis- covered the awning in front of Parker’s store to beon fire. They quickly tore it down and put out the blaze, which in another min- ute or so would surely have ig- nited the building. It was found that what started the fire was one of those small punk-stems used for lighting firecrackers. No doubt some brainless cigarette- sucker threw it on the awning, never realizing the serious dan- ger. pce J. E. Rooke and Ed Nelson went to Lewiston Monday, return- ing next day with the latter’s car which was left there last week when he made a trip up the river on business. While these two gentlemen were on their way to Cottonwood from the river a few days ago they were caught in the storm and were nearly struck by lightning. A tree twenty feet distant, which they were to pass under, was riddled toa “frazzle” by the juice, and Rooke says all the German armies could’nt up- set his nerves any more than this little electric stunt did.
