Grangeville Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Thursday evening of last week held memorial exer- cises in Prairie View cemetery, over graves of departed breth- ern and sisters. Members of the orders met in the Odd Fellows’ hall and marched to the ceme- tery. Floral tributes were plac- ed over the graves of Odd Fel- lows and Rebekahs. While wrangling horses a few days ago, Ray Lansing, a young man who is putting on wild west stunts at the celebrations around the country, had three fingers caught between his rope and the horn of his saddle a few days ago, and they were practically amputated. He was brought to Dr. R. J. Alcorn and had the job completed and the wound dress- ed. No decision as to character of the proposed memorial to be er- ected in Grangeville to Idaho county soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in the great war has been reached, The commit- tee was in session in Grangeville Friday evening. The mainten- ance question became a puzzling one for discussion at the meet- ing. Cost of maintaining the memorial after it is erected was given careful consideration, and it is likely that form the memo- rial will assume will largely fol- low conclusions as to available funds for maintaining it. Kicked in the mouth by a horse, George Reibold, a well- known rancher residing near Clearwater, was brought to Grangeville Tuesday afternoon to receive medical attention. Mr. Reibold is at the home of his mother, Mrs. W. N. Knox. While cutting hay, on his ranch, Tues- day morning one of the tugs be- came unfastened.. Mr. Reibod left his mower and as he stooped to hitch the tug, one of the horses kicked him in the mouth. Mr. Riebold incurred a fracture of his lower jaw, and most of the teeth in the lower jaw were eith- er destroyed or so badly mashed that it is feared it will be impos- sible to save any of them. Dr. G. S. Stockton is the attending physician. The famous Riggins Hot Springs and the two 160-acre ranches belonging to Fred B. Riggins have been purchased by Geo. Behean and Geo. and Oliver Denison, the consideration being in the neighborhood of $15,000. In this deal they also secured a considerable number of cattle which were not included in the above mentioned price. Mr. Behean has also purchased the * Jimmie Chamberlain place of 160 acres located about five miles from the Riggins ranch. The Riggins purchase lies on both sides of the Salmon river and is connected by a substa- tial bridge. Both cattle and sheep will be run on these places. POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Advent of the White Man, With His Civilization and His Business Ideas Too Much for Once- Dreaded Savage. The Fiji islander, whose cannibal- istic practices long made him a favor- ite with writers of fiction and humor, is following the Malayan pirates and the roving pearl thief of the South seas into the realm of memory. A turbaned half-caste Hindoo is replac- ing the once bloodthirsty and always picturesque native of the Fijis. It is the white man’s civilization, along with the white man’s vices, and the Fijian’s utter disinclination to Therefore protect yourself by placing your order now.

Sold by Hoene Hardware Cottonwood, Idoho —— — a ays work that are blotting out the race. The Fijian of today is no longer war- like, no longer a hunter and a fisher- men. Instead he is a lazy smoker of the white man’s tobacco, a’lover of the white man’s enlivening drinks and a patron of the white man’s moving pic- ture shows. Time was when the war canoes of the Fijss plied the Southern seas; when the Fijian warrior was a dread- ed person who displayed no fear in battle and who enjoyed eating his slain enemies once the conflict ended. The Fijians, according to the early travelers: who came in contact with them, were superlatively bad. The very name Fiji became a synonym for whatever was barbarous, Inhuman and cannibalistic. It seems that the eut- ing of human flesh was both a mat- ter of religious rite and of enjoyment with the Fijian. Great feasts of this sort were prepared, especially after a successful battle. The bad reputation of the Fijians kept traders and missionaries away from the islands till long after other peoples of that section of the seas were Christianized. Finally the white man got a foothold in the islands. Trade of various sorts sprang up, for the islands are wonderfully rich in NOTICE.

The white man found him a wretched worker and al- most unusable on the plantations that were laid out tn the islands. That is the reason why the Hindoo coolie has been imported into Fiji and why the Fijian is disappearing. The native cannot stand the double strain of softened ways of living and of com- peting with the work-hardened native of India. One notes as a significant phase of the European’s attitude toward the changing conditions in Fiji, the recom- mendations adopted at a recent meet- ing of the district synod, Methodist mission of Fiji. These recommenda- tions approved the further coloniza- tion of the islands by Hindoos and suggested a number of regulations which would better the situation of these imported orientals. The im- pertation of women from India was recommended, as it was stated that women were disproportionately few in the Fiji islands. There has been some intermarriage between the Fijis and the Hindoos. That, too, has helped bring about the passing of the Fijian. Samoans also have gone to Fiji in considerable num- bers and have thrived there. POOR WAY TO WOO SLEEP Man Who Experimented Pronounces Insomnia “Cure” to Be at Least of Doubtful Value. A new cure for insomnia, we read, is to “list the first names of all your friends and acquaintances, taking each letter of the alphabet in order.” Of course this is only a variant of the old device of counting imaginary sheep jumping over a wall. Personally we never found that to work at all. We counted between 11,000 and 12,000 of these alleged soporific sheep one night, and then the alarm clock went off and it was time to get up, which we did with a groan, a headache and a pair of astigmatic eyes. Making an alphabetical catalogue of your friends’ first names is an even ‘more stimulating and nerve-exciting process, We would be willing to wager that no normal persons could get fur- ther than the N’s before being inter- rupted by the first call for breakfast. It is doubtful, at least, if the night con- tains enough time to go through with the whole list from Alfred to Zorilla. We should say that this might be the surest way to banish sleep altogether. The best way to woo slumber, we have been told, is to go into the si- lence, relax all muscles and nerves, and then in a mental way, pull all the edges of the mind into a dead mental center and fold them in. It is hard to say just how this is done, but it sounds plausible.
