FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1918 The Hog System. | Sometimes prejudice of a most damaging nature is created against county-seat towns, caused by poor of some of its business men—par- ticularly county officials and law- yers. We have a glaring example of it right here at Grangeville. Some of the county officers and lawyers there act like they thought it a crime to patronize the county | papers outside of that town with| legal notices that properly and justly belong to the nearest paper to the land advertised. For exam- ple, two summonses are now be- ing published in the Grangeville papers that should be advertised in the Chronicle—one regarding the hotel property in Cottonwood and the other the Moughmer property at Keuterville. Several other legal notices from this part of the prairie have also been ad- vertised at Grangeville lately. This “hog it all” idea by county-seat- ers usually makes the county-seat town very unpopular with the] public generally. The outside pa- pers are published at heavy ex- pense, pay their proportion of tax- es and surely are entitled to their just and honest share of the coun- ty business, the same as are the county-seat papers. It appears that one of the great-| est misfortunes this community is burdened and cursed with is two telephone systems, where there is business for only one. Surely when one system can suc- cessfully cover the field in large cities, one could be made to suf- fice in a country town and com- munity like this. One of the two companies trying to operate here should be compelled to buy out the other. As everybody knows, two poorly-equipped and poorly- managed systems are worse than none at all—to say nothing of the double expense forced upon the public for unsatisfactory ser- vice. A large number of the 12,000 | boys who went to Camp Lewis in the July 23d draft were transfer- red the first of this week to Camp Fremont, Cal., in order to make room for the 10,000 boys who will go to Camp Lewis next week from the several northwestern’ states. Among those who were sent to Camp Fremont were Harold Shutt and Frank Schober of Cotton- wood. Geo. Seubert would have been sent also, but he is needed at Camp Lewis. this week on the new 110,000- bushel elevator. moth concrete tanks will stand for all time as a magnificent monument to the enterprise of the Cottonwood Milling Co.

It is up to our farmer friends to- gether with all other honest tax- payers of the county to get togeth- er this coming election and “to stick” together and break upa damnable political ring in this county which has been control- ing matters, showing favoritism, allowing corporations to escape paying just taxes and doing var- ious other stunts which are dis- gusting to every one who stands for right and fairness. Oust chron- ic office holders, clean up matters generally and do not let a_politi- eal ring have control of affairs in Lewis county any longer.—Ilo Register. Rek, Bisknall, Gages ‘fond ad- ministrator for Idaho, snd his son- in-law, J. H. Black of Boise, have been cited to appear before the county Council of Defense of Gooding county to explain the presence of 32 sacks of white flour and 2 sacks of sugar found on the Black farm near Hagerman, when an investigation was made upon acharge of food hoarding. The flour and sugar were confiscated by the Gooding county authori- and taken to Wendell, where they were distributed among mer- chants. The 91st division which left Camp Lewis a couple of months ago for France, and in which were Leo Funke, Jess Robertson and Herman Seubert.of Cottonwood, was taken on through to Italy, where they are “playing smash” with the Austrians. The fellow who whines about having to work over ten hours in | the harvest field evidently forgets the boys who are putting in all sorts of overtime on the firing line in France, and without complaint too. When a man worth $25, 000 or | more buys a $50 Liberty Bond or contributes $5 in a Red Cross | drive, he should have some of the | boys in the service put on his trail—Nezperce Herald. The heavy rains the fore part of this week started the grass | growing in fine shape, as well as to fill out the heads of late-sown grain, boost the spud crop, etc. Roosevelt’s regret is that he cannot fight beside his sons, and |there’s a million other “old fel- lers” in the same fix. And that’s Ro joke, either. TOM’S PLACE Fresh Fruits of the very best Do.your fruit canning now. THE BEST TIME TO BUILD MR.
