Rae Beagrie ‘' COTTONWOOD CHRON ICLE VOLUME 28. NO.7 Ja _corronwoon, IDAHO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1920 WeeE i PER YEAR SOUTH & FRICK BUY GARAGE | BUILDING WILL BE COM- PLETED BY NEW OWNERS. Joe South and William Frick, doing business under the firm name of South & Frick last Fri- day afternoon closed a deal with Felix Martzen, whereby they be- | come the owners of the garage in the course of construction near the Cottonwood Hotel. The building was started some two months ago by Mr. Martzen, but has not been completed on ac- count of weather conditions. The new proprietors will rush the completion as soon as possible and will occupy the same. They are at the present time putting in the front of the building as well as all windows and doors, as soon as this is done they will set up four stoves, from whose heat they expect to thaw out the ground in the interior of the building in order that the con- crete floore may be layed. The firm has a shipment of machinery on the road, which they will install as soon as it ar- rives, includng a gasoline pump for retailing gasoline to the gen- eral public. The work of completing the structure is under the supervi- sion of Joe Oldham. TO ENLARGE HOSPITAL. A movement for enlargement of the St. Joseph hospital was launched Tuesday evening at a meeting held at the Knights of Columbus hall and steps will be taken in the very near future to bring the matter before the peo- ple. The hospital has been in need of enlarged facilites for the past severa! years and the cam- paign inaugurated about four years ago was halted because of the war conditions and the gen- eral trend toward curtailing all new construction. The plan proposed is to construct an ad- dition to the present hospital building and the estimated cost of this structure is about $100,- 000. The plan favored last evening is for the Catholic people of Lewiston to provide 25 percent of the money needed and a gen- eral subscription will then be circulated among the citizens to secure an additional 25 per cent. It is then proposed to take the campaign outside of Lewiston to secure the remaining 50 per cent. The first work will be with the Catholic people of Lewiston to secure the first 25 per cent and it is expected this matter will be taken up at an early date.—Lew- iston Tribune. No doubt the movement to en- large the hospital at Lewiston will receive considerable finan- cial aid in this section of the country as a large percentage of those seeking hospital facilities go to this hospital in Lewiston.

FLU CLAIMS. TWO VICTIMS A FATHER AND MOTHER TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES The influenza epidemic, which has run its course in a great many sections of the country tributary to Cottonwood, ap- pears to be at its height in and avound Cottonwood. Perhaps more cases have been reported this week then any previous week since the epidemic first took a grip on the community. While most of the cases are in a mild form some, however, are very sick with the malady. Those who were reported to be held in a firm hand by the flu, the first of the week were Frank Wimer, John Romain and H. G. Agnew but at the present time are doing nicely and no serious results are anticipated. While Cottonwood has been exceptionally fortunate in escap- ing from any serious casualties, ow neighbors in the country have not fared as well. This week a father and moth- er were called to the great be- yond from the effects of influ- enza, they being Tony Ross and Mrs. Geo. Gehring. Death of Young Father.

In 1908 he was married to Miss Mary Kaschmitter to which union four children were born, they being Alfons, age 10; Hub- ert, age 8; Pauline, age 5 ana Edwarde, age 4. Besides his wife, he leaves other relatives and a large number of friends.

TO SELL HOGS. The public sale of 30 head of thoroughbred Poland Chinas which will be held by Howard Mckinley at his Bide-a-Wee hog farm, 4 miles from Cottonwood is a splendid opportunity for everyone in this section, who so desires, to get a good foundation of the Poland China breed. The lot consists of four tried sows, 4 fall gilts. 22 spring gilts. Mr. | McKinley in commenting upon the sale said: “This is the best offering I have been able to of- fer the public and believe it com- pares favorably with the best to be had.” = From all indications the sale will be a good one. The disposal of the hogs will be in charee of Auctioneer I. E. Zuver of Grangeville and H. C. Mat- thiesen, who will clerk the sale. WANTS PASSPORT. John Wennekamp, a native of Germany, and who became a citizen of the United States some four years ago, applied to Coun- ty Clerk Henry Telcher Wednes- day for a passport to Germany. Mr. Wennekamp,45 years of age, is a severe sufferer from heart trouble, has no relatives in this country, and desires to return to his native land to pass his re- maining days. The situation confronting Mr. Telcher is an unsual one and the papers were not issued and will not be until advices are received from officials higher up. In applying for the passport the ap- plicant stated he just wanted to get the proper papers to assure him boarding a vessel that would take him home, and did not care for the protection afforded to all citizens of the United States while in foreign lands which is practically renouncing his citi- zenship. The immigration officials wil! undoubtedly find some method to overcome the obstacles and permit Mr. Wennekamp to re- of John! ber of children, whose names we| turn to ee Globe. ae ‘ IDAHO ACTS ON SUFFRAGE] Six Votes Recorded Against the Measure.

Other short addresses of approval were made by W. S. Hall of Oneida county, and T. L. Bennett of Gooding county.

Three more carloads will be ship- per from Portland to Lewiston. The possibilities of hog raising as a side line of general farming is again demonstrated by the ex- perience of George Dougherty, who lives near Moscow.
