Owing to the lights and power being out of commission Thurs- day and Friday, or rather being too weak to properly run our In- tertype, the Chronicle will be a day late this week. We will key Thanksgiving will also have | to be taken into consideration and therefore -we cannot blame it | all onto the power. SHIPPED TO LEWISTON. The lynx cat which has been ware the past week was shipped | to Lewiston Tuesday morning. | In regard to its arrival the Lew- | iston Tribune has the following to say: | A full-grown lynx was receiv- | iston-Clarkston transit com-}| pany’s barns. The lynx was sent from Cottonwood by Paul CONTRACTOR ON N. & S. ROAD KILLED NEAR WHITEBIRD THURSDAY COMRADES JUMP—HAD JUST TAKEN A CONTRACT. A man by the name of Butter- field, who had recently taken a | contract on the North and South highway near Whitebird was | killed Thursday when the truck he was driving upset and crush- ed him to death. According to reports reaching Cottonwood he left the county seat in the truck accompanied ‘by four other men, when he arrived near what is known as the Bob Cone ranch, BIG LUMBER MILL OPENING With the opening of the big lumber mill a half mile south of Westlake, by the Agnew inter- ests, this country is going to ex- perience a boom that will be felt all over this section of Craig mountain. After the mill is built no doubt, a good, surfaced road, either to Ferdinand or to Cottonwood will be necessary . That Ferdinand is the logical point to build to and connect with the main line, is the gener- al consensus of the wiser heads We are not much given to build- ing air castles and good roads on paper, but something of this nature will happen inside of two years, oY we are avery poor guesser; or conditions, owing to labor unsettlement, will be re- sponsible for a postponment un- til later. Nevertheless, this pro- ject is a feasable one; and gold ore shipment from close in points will also stimulate “something doing” that will keep the live wires’ blood in circulation. It behooves every American who believes in progressiveness to get in and help clear the way for better days to come in this vicinity, and if it takes a dollar or two todo this “cast your ‘dough’ upon the waters” for it will return to thee increased many fold.—Ferdinand Enter- prise. TO INSPECT MINE. I. J. Lasswell of Colville, Wash. who has been in the city for the past ten days departed Tuesday morning accompanied by Bar- ney Luchtefeld, Frank Goeckner, W. B. Hussman and Mike Willen borg for the northern part of Washington where they will in- spect a copper mine in which Mr. Lasswell is interested. The mine is located 9 miles from Grand Forks, B. C. Several other gentlemen from this im- mdiate vicinity visited the mine last week and report very good prospects. JOIN D. O. K. K. William A. Lustie, Chas.Lewis, H. C.

MUST GIVE ASSISTANCE. We have noted in several of the newspapers that reach our exchange table of accidents on the public highway were the driver had accidently or other- wise collided with vehicles or with persons, and continued their journey without aiding the unfortunate one or escertaining the injury incurred by their col- lision. The Idaho law is very plain on this matter and reads as follows: Should any pedestrian or other object, through want of care or other cause, come in contact with a moving vehicle in the roads, streets or highways of this state, it shall be the duty of such vehicle to stop and of the| owner or operator thereof to as- certain the name of the person or object and to render such aid and assistance as may be requir- ed, and in case of collision or other accident to render like as- sistance to the colliding vehicle or vehicle struck, as the case may be, and to the occupants thereof as may be necessary, taking the name of the vehicle, its number, the time, the place and other data concerning the! with the names of the witnesses present, and likewise giving his own name and number for identifica- { and all of said in-| formation, however, shall not be construed or determined as fix- ing liabilities in either case for fault or negligence of either party, but shall be a means of identifying the facts and cir- and neither accident or event, ion. Yo ae, cumstances only; party to a collision or conse- quence resulting from a mistake in judgment or arising from ac- cident shall move away from the place of its occurrence without complying with this section, and if this complying with this sec- tion, however, is not done it shall be a violation of this act and punished accordingly as herein provided, and in civil action for damages, shall be construed as an evidence of fault. EXTENDED TRIP EAST. Frank A. Kelsey, Manager of the Hoene Hardware left Tues- day morning fora trip across the continent. bottom The truck in its journey to the bottom of the hill upset and crushed him TAXES ARE HIGHER. There has been considerable space donated by the newspapers in Idaho the last two months re- garding the taxes this year. Some contended that taxes would be no higher then they were last year while others stat- ed they would be much higher. In many instances these ar- guments were set forth only for political effect. The truth of the matter is that taxes are higher, a statement that no one especially in this section of the country will deny since receiving their official tax notice this week, GAUL SELLS HIS INTEREST ILL HEALTH FORCES GAUL TO SEEK LOWER P. A. Gaul, for the past ten years manager and one of the principal stockholders of the Cottonwood Mercantile Co., sold his interest in the cornern to other stockholders of the com- pany, the deal having been clos- ed the first of the week. Mr. Gaul took charge of the company some twelve years ago when it was a small concern and in those few years has built up one of the best and strongest mercantile establshiments in the county, and a store any cummu- nity may well feel proud of. Owing to a severe attack ot the flu about a year ago, when Mr. Gaul’s life hung on a balance for more than two weeks his health has not been the best and he deemed it advisable to dispose of his interests and seek another climate with the hopes of re- gaining his health, It is Mr. Gaul’s intention to take a complete rest for a year and expects to spend the winter in California with his family. He will sever his connections with the firm January 1. In disposing of his interests here, Cottonwood loses one of its most up-to-date and progressive citizens. Pete, as he is better known to his many friends has been a hard worker for Cotton- wood always boosting the city’s interest whenever possible ana spent his money and time freely to gain this end. Mr. Gaul is also manager of the Orpheum Theatre and the Cottonwood Co-operative cream- ery. PAUL F. LAKE SELLS OUT Consolidated Commercial Com- pany Locates Here. L. L.

The University of Idaho re- ceived $1888 for four fat steers sold at the Pacific International Live Stock show at Portland, af- ter the steers had won a number of valuable prizes. Suit for $6,000,000 damages and seeking permanent injunc- tion was filed in the federal court at Coeur d’ Alene by the Federal Mining and Smelting Co. against the Hecla mining com- pany both of Burke, Idaho. Apportionment of $115,767.60 of national forest earnings among 82 Idaho counties that will use the funds for road and school purposes was accomplish- ed Friday by the state auditor's office, acting for the state treasurer. ; The result of efficient inspec- tion of scales in Idaho by the state farm market bureau are startling. Approximately one- half of ‘the scales tested have been inaccurate and have been condemned: for repairs or con- demned unconditionally. County Attorney Leo McCar- thy of Nezperce county has filed an appeal in the “Indian stick game” case which was decided by the district court in favor of the defendants. The issue in this case was whether the favo- rite pastime of the Nez Perce Indians could be classed as gambling under the state law. The man who is believed to have acted as agent for the al- leged “conspiracy ring” which dealt in Idaho state dental li- censes, by “selling” them to ap- plicants, is believed to be in the custody of state authorities in the arrest at Lewiston of A. V. Fitzgerald, upon orders of the state department of law enforce- ment. F. S. Rice, who until three years ago was treasurer of Ida- ho county, but now a resident ot Lewiston and who has mining interests at Florence, having just returned from a trip in that section of the country reports that there has already been a fall of 12 feet of snow in the mountains, which has greatly in- terfered with the freighting in of supplies. Seven men, believed to be I. W. W. agitators were lodged in the county jail at Moscow Satur- day night as a result of the raid made in the timbered sections of Latah county by deputy sher- iffs assisted by members of the American Legion. In_ addition to the men arrested more than 150 names of aliens who had been in this country from 5 to 26 years without taking out natura- lization papers were taken and will be turned over to the federal authorities. : Sixty thousand automobiles, double the number licensed in Idaho, during 1918, are to be in use in the state during 1920, if arrangements of the secretary of state are any augury. Blank forms sufficient to accommodate a registration of this total num- ber are being prepared at the state capitol to be sent out to county assessors. The 1920 licenses: will be dark blue and white, the blue forming the back ground and the white the letters and numbers. The number of prisoners re- ceived at the Idaho state peni- tentiary during the period from August 1, 1919, to November 23, 1919, was 48, with four more in different parts of the state awaiting transportation. This number swells the population of the prison to 240, as against a population of 198 on April 15, 1919, which was the least num- ber of inmates during the year. Of the 48 received from August 1 to November 23, 1919, it is a noticeable fact that the crime in about 50 per cent of the cases is burglary. «aaa Fa ite 4%
