W. W. or their sympathiz- ers may take issue. The Legion proposes to be entirely fair in the matter but they also propose to deal with a firm hand. In the; case of Bliss, it is explained the Legion men preferred to give the man a chance to get out of the district and upon his promise to} leave town, he was assigned a room where he could safely re-, main for the night, with the understanding that he would be a passenger on the train when it left the Winchester depot the, following morning. It is stated, however, that the consideration shown Bliss must not be constru- ed as a continuing policy to be) followed in dealing with other | cases that may develop, but the former service men first prefer- red to give warning before more severe measures are adopted. | F. A. Harris, commander of | the Winchester post of the) American Legion, in a statement | issued, following the deporta- tion measures taken in the case of Bliss, said the post has reach- ed a definite decision that the} Winchester district must be) kept free of the I. W. W. and, their sympathizers and there) will be no hesitancy in taking whatever steps may appear nec-| essary to see that this order is | obeyed. | | Bliss was given to understand that he had reason to congrat- | ulate himself on being permitted | to retire from the district un-| harmed, but that he should con- vey a message to his organiza- tion and its members that the Winchester district is barred against them and_ they can ex- nect serious trouble should they | fail to heed the warining. Pleads Guilty. Jas. V. Bliss Tuesday in the district court at Lewiston enter- ed a plea of guilty to violation of the state syndicalism act and Judge Scales imposed on the’! man a_ sentence of five to ten years in the state penitentiary at hard labor. Bliss is a con- fessed I. W. W., having in pos- session literature of that organ- ization, and had gone to the town of Winchester for the purpose of organizing -there. K. OF P. DANCE.

It has been the policy of the com- | pany to give every family in the city and country desiring coal a certain quantity, none of it being | sold for storage for future use. At the present time the out-| look for the coal strike, which everyone presumed was at an| end is not very promising as many of the men have failed to return to work, waiting for the outcome of the controversy be-| tween the government, operators and miners. VISITS DAUGHTERS. David McFadden, father of Mrs. Dr. J. D. Shinnick of this) city and Mrs. A. J. Maugg of | Grangeville arrived in Cotton- | wood Wednesday evening from) North Dakota to make a visit) with his daughters here. Mr.) McFadden makes it a point to; visit his children every two years and as they live in various sections of the country it keeps him continually busy. He has a daughter in New York, daugh- ter in Alaska, three daughters in Idaho, two sons in Dakota and} one son in St. Louis. His young- est son in St. Louis has the dis- tinction of being the youngest managing editor of any big daily | in the United States. Mr. Mc-| Fadden will visit his daughters in Idaho this winter and in the) spring will go to Alaska. MAKES GOOD SHOWING. In the official booklet publish- | ed by the Victory Loan of the!

Many stockowners, of the Sal- mon river country have for the last week been busily engaged rounding up their stock and shipping them to Toppenish, Wash., and other points where they will be wintered. Owing to the scarcity of feed in this immediate vicinity and the ex- ceedingly high prices demanded when shipped in has forced many to take this course to save their herds, holding over only what they can safely feed. Several stockmen have also shipped to the Culdesac and Lap- wai section. Among those who have recently shipped or have driven their cattle to winter range are the following. Ivan Price and George Smith to the Lapwai and Culdesac country, John Marariety shipped several carloads to their ranch in the Yakimah country and Frank Wyatt shipped last week 20 car- loads from his ranch near White bird to Toppenish, Wash., where they will be fed for the winter. It is reported that cattle ship- ped to Toppenish or Yakima can be easily put in shape for market in the spring, and as the railroad company allows them to reload in the spring for shipment to the coast markets without additional charges it is here that a big sav- ing is made by stockmen and one reason why many take advant- jage of the opportunity of feed- ing in sections where hay is more plentiful and thus also sav- |ing freight charges of shipping | hay in and _ transportng it to their stock ranches. A PLEASING SUCCESS: The pie social, given by the Boys Scouts at the Firemen‘s hall Wednesday evening was a very pleasing as well as a finan- cial success. The program of the evening was such a new one to many that it attracted the attention of the on-lookers. The net proceeds from the sale was $55.00, and the boys and their scout master, Marion Sli- | gar, take this means in thanking FELL INTO A POND. Mr. and Mrs. John Crea a few days ago received detailed in- formation of the death of their little grand daughter, who was} drowned at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Werner Kalen, of southern California. Mrs. Kalen was formerly Miss Rose Crea. The sad accident happened as follows: Mrs. Kalen was preparing a chicken for din- ner when her husband came up and played with the baby for a short time. He then departed | without the knowledge of his| wife knowing that.he told his lit- | tle daughter to go to her mother | and went to resume his work in the field. After a short time she missed the child and started | to find her. After looking) about the house and being un- able to locate her she started for the pond, a short distance away where her little tracts could be | seen and found her lying in) about three feet of water. She picked the child out of the water and summoned assistance | and everything possible was done to revive her without re- sults. How the little Miss fell into the pond remains a mys- | tery. The shock to the mother and father is a severe one. Mrs. Kalen and her only child where here on. a visit a short time ago with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Crea and those who became acquainted with her little daughter remember her as a beautiful child with a sunny and lively disposition. They have the sympathy of the entire community in this deploratble accident. TRAPS LYNX CAT. Mike Mager, of the Keuter- ville section bought to Cotton- wood Monday a large lynx cat which he trapped near his home Sunday. The cat is now on dis- play at the Hoene Hardware | and is the largest ever caught in this section of the country. There has been considerably con- troversy as to the name of the animal, some contending it was a bob cat while others insist it | is a lynx. Mr. Mager sold the animal to Al Herboth who will send it to Lewiston next week where he expects to dispose of it. Al intended to go into the bus- iness of training wild animals, | but since his misfortune of last week with a pine squarrel, which bit two of his fingers he decided that the lynx was too big a pro-| vosition for him. DIES IN MOUNTAINS. Garland Perciful, of Stites, | Idaho, who in company with Cy | Howard, and his nephew, Percy Howard, were on a hunting trip in the mountains became} separated from members of his party and was lost in a ranging snow storm last Monday, was found dead by a hunting party three miles from Switchback, sitting upon some freshly brok- | en twigs under a tree. It is pre- sumed that after losing his bear- ing he wandred about the moun- tains until he became completely exhausted. Searching parties had been hunting for him three days. The body was hard to de- tect, having been covered with snow. TO BE MARRIED TUESDAY INCOME TAX RETURNS. Plans for the issuance early in December of forms for filing in- come and excess profits tax re- turns are being made by the United States bureau of internal |revenue. Taxpayers will thus | be given the opportunity of mak- jing out their returns immedi- ately upon the closing of their books for the year 1919, when accurate knowledge of their ac- counts is fresh in mind. As a convenience to them- selves and as a means of ex- pediting the work of the govern- ment, taxpayers are urged by the bureau, in a statement issued recently, to avail themselves of this opportunity. The perioa for filing is from January 1 to March 15, 1920, If the tax is paid in quarterly installments, one-fourth of the amount must accompany the filing of the return. Form 1040-A will be used for filing individual income tax re- turns of $5000 and less, and form 1040 for filing returns of income in excess of that amount. The normal rate of tax for 1919, provided for in the revenue act of 1918, of 4 per cent on the first $4000 above the exemptions and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. The tax for 1918 was 6 and 12 per cent, respect- ively. The surtax rates, which range from 1 per cent on the amount of net income between $5000 and $6000 to 65 per cent of the amount by which the net income exceeds $1,000,000, are the same as for the year 1918. The exemption of $1000 for single persons and $2000 for married persons and heads of families remain unchanged. These rates apply to every citizen and resident of the United States. Alien nonres!- dents receiving income from sources within the United States are subject to the full tax of 8 per cent on such income in ex- cess of the exemptions. Form 1041 will be used for filing returns of fiduciaries, form 1065 for partnerships and personal service corporations, and form 1120 for corporations. REBEKAHS ENTERTAIN...
