» COTTONWOOD | VOLUME 28. NO. 9 THIS SPRING WILL CALL FOR BIDS ON THE THIRTIETH DAY ‘OF MARCH. Cottonwood is to have the dis- tinction of being the first town this side of Lewiston to have its streets paved and according to plans of the city fathers, at a meeting held in their council chambers Tuesday evening, the last ordinance pertaining to the paving was passed and ordered published. The next move will be to sel! the bonds and call for bids for paving the streets of Cottonwood. As it is now outlined by the city fathers, the pavement will start at the creamery and run to the old brewery, the full width of the street with fourteen foot concrete walks on both sides of the street, from the John Funke corner to the Baker’ home the pavement will be the full width of the street with 14 foot con-| crete walks and from there to the depot, the street will be pav- ed 30 feet in the center with 4/ foot parking and 8 foot concrete walks on both sides of the street. ¥rom the Simon Bros Meat Market to the Dr. Orr home the street will be paved the full width with 8 foot concrete walks on both sides of the street. Will Also Macadamize From the Dr. Orr corner, the road leading out of the city lim- its will be macadamized as will also the road leading from the, brewery to the Farmers Union Warehouse and the Hussman Lumber Co., from the Hussman Lumber Co., the macadamized road will run pass the Vollmer, Clearwater Warehouse to the depot. Estimated Cost $153,286.14 The estimated cost of the work according to Fred Erskine, the city engineer will be $153,- 286.14, the figures being based upon concrete pavement, the highest price pavement. While no definite action has been taken as to the kind of pavement to be | used at this time the cost how- ever will not exceed the above figures. Work to Commence Soon According to present plans, Cottonwood citizens should see 4 dirt flying from its streets dur- ing the month of April. While some work was done on the streets last fall, these have now settled and will only require a small amount of work in ordir to place the hard surface. Start Ball Rolling Since Cottonwood has talked of improving its streets Grange- ville and Ferdinand, our sister towns also have taken some ac- tion to improve their streets. Grangeville the first of the week employed an engineer to make| an estimate on paving its Main Street and Ferdinand is to raise $10,000 to improve their main thoroughfare. SALE DRAWS CROWD. The F. J. Walser sale conduct- ed one mile northwest of Cotton- ye by Auctioneer! Harry Cranke drew an excep- tionally large crowd and every- thing offered for sale brought good prices. The day was ideal for a sale and buyers were pre- sent from every section of the county. The clerical work was handled by the First National Bank, who was represented by Tom Parker and Ira Robertson. The Walsers intend to leave _ shortly for New York State where they have relatives living and to make their future home. It is our prediction that they will be out west again before a year passes by. | $27,000 DEAL... %__ |. Aland deal that involved the ; sum of $27,000 was closed Mon- day when Mike Seubert became the owner of 458 acres of land owned by Joseph Ritter, located | | six miles northwest of Cotton- | wood. Mr. Ritter, who has been | the owner of this land for nine years, disposed of the same on account of ill health and the in- | ability of hiring competent help. | He, and his family -expect to | leave for the coast some time | after March 10 on which day he will hold a public. apetion sale and dispose of his personal | property. Mr. Seubert sold his holdings early last fall to Conrad Bosse jand had decided to leave the country for a lower climate but owing to the fact that he was | eble to procure this land, which | is to his liking, he decided to re- main here. ~ ‘The land purchas- ,ed by Mr. Seubert is an_ ideal | stock and grain ranch with plen- | ty of running water and is also} well improved. Mr. Seubert will remove with his family to his new holdings about the last of March. LOWER RATES NEW SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE HOW DIFFERENT POINTS ARE AFFECTED. (Lewiston Tribune) The contention prosecuted by Lewiston and interior towns has been successful in securing a 15 per cent reduction on distribut-! ing rates out of Lewiston over| the Camas Prairie line, the new tariff being effective as of Dec. | 31 last. With this victory achieved, the public utilities! commission of the state is now taking steps to secure a refund of freight monies exacted on the discriminatory basis that ap- plied during the period the 15 per cent was applied. The freight rate issue was raised in January 1919, when} Leonard Way rate expert of the Idaho utilities commission, visit-| ed this district and made an in-| vestigation upon request of the} Lewiston Commercial club, the} handling of the case in connec-| tion with the state utilities com- mission then being placed in the| hands of the transportation com- | mittee of the club, of which A. S. Stacy is chairman. The inter- est and support of all the inter. ior points were solicited and re- ceived and on April 17 last a hearing on the issues was held at Portland, Ore., before the) Portland district traffic com- mittee of the United States rail- road administration. At this conference the public utilities commission of the state was represented by Commission- er George E. Erb, Attorney R. L. Givens and Rate Clerk Leonard Way, Shippers were represented by, A. S. Stacey, P. H. Quilliam, E. W. Eaves and I. G. Kijosness of Lewiston; A. Urbahn, of} Grangeville; E. L. Parker, of Cottonwood, now of Lewiston; B. L. Cole, of, Nezperce; D. Bo- dine, of Vollmer; H. C. Oliver of Stites; GuyDissmore, of Kamiah | and W. B. Kinne, of Orofino. On Nov. 7 the advice was re- ceived from the Idaho utility} commission that the Portland ‘district traffic committee had} recommended to the western railway traffic committee at Chicago that the reduction of 15 ver cent on the Camas Prairie line be granted. No further in- formation was then received un- | til the receipt of the 1920 tariffs which show that the Chicago committee approved the recom- mendation and so the new rate | went into effect in January. The 15 ner cent arbitrary rate was made effective on the Camas Prairie line about two | | COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920 the transportation committee of /KUBE—BEHEAN. the club prepared data showing!
