TWO BALK ON BONDING. Ferdinand held her bond elec- tion Tuesday to ascertain whether the villagers were in favor of having the board of trustees issue 20-year municipal coupon bonds in the amount of $10,000 for street and alley im- _provement and it makes us feel proud of our voters to say, that there were only two dissenting | votes. It was quite generally believ- ed the bond issue had no opposi- tion worth mentioning, and that is perhaps the reason more vot- ing was not forthcoming, as! only 78 votes were cast. We understand the trustees will make all possible haste to get at the work, and by the time | another fall hits us, we. can laugh at Jupiter Pluvius and all his imps and tell ’em, “Let ‘er rain!”—Ferdinand Enterprise. NEW CEMENT WALKS. The day of the dangerous old | plank walks in Ilo and Vollmer is about ended, at least on the business streets. At a meeting of the Vollmer council, Tuesday | evening. Contractor Hall was given the contract for the con- struction of 700 feet of ten foot walk, 300 feet of four foot walk, and nine crossings, all to be made of cement. The Ilo council has also issued orders to property owners along main street to commence work on new walks within ten days. Every wide-awake town should have cement walks in the busi- ness district at least. The first cost is pretty strong but they are the cheapest in the end.—Ilo Register. LEGION AUXILIARY. | A movement has been started by the ladies of Kooskia to se- cure an auxiliary chapter to the English Toll post of the Ameri- can Legion. A chapter will be| granted upon the application of | fifteen mothers, wives or sisters of those men entitled to member | ship in the legion. There is need of just such an organiza- | tion to assist in the many mat- ters which are brought to the attention of the local post; and the auxiliary, if formed, will be | a welcome addition to the organ- ization of the village—Kooskia Mountaineer. | FIND ANOTHER LEDGE. | At the Kamiah Granite Works the other day Manager Merwin | showed us a block of new stone | that had just come off the pol-| isher that at once excited our} interest. The stone is a new) “find” that has recently been} located up the river and the! sample was taken out and| brought to the factory to test its polishing qualities. The SSS almost black, and has a finer) texture also, there being less mica and more feldspar than in the old stone. It takes a beau- tiful polish and can be worked up into as good monument ma- terial as the other, The sample was taken from the top of the ground and Mr. Merwin says that very likely by going farther in very much better granite will be found. Some of the stones taken out had a dark brown tint. The new granite will make up in- to beautiful monuments of it- self or can be combined with the other with excellent effect. We understand negotiations are now pending for control of the quar- | ry and it will be developed as | soon as the deal is completed.— — ——— Ee ——— ——— | | and waterproof. quickly to the housewife.

Although this peak is near- ly fifty miles away from the city, it can ‘be plainly seen from there and makes a beautiful picture standing white against the sky or catching all the colors of the sunrise. Another point of interest is the an- cient fortress of San Juan d'Ulloa, which is buflt on an island, connected to the mainland at the northern end by a long sea wall. It has a fair ex- terior, painted a pure and raill- =iant white, but hidden beneath this in- nocent mantle are dark and nolszome dungeons where many political pris- oners of Mexico have been kept for years. Turning hastily from this unpleas- ant scene, gentle reader, let us retrace our steps to the center of the city, - which is marked by the plaza. This - is a large und beautiful square filled with palms and flowers, and watched over benignly by the ancient and stately cathedral. Every evening dur- ing the band concert tt ts the quaint custom of the youths of Vera Cruz to promenade around the square on the outside of the walk in one direction, while the young gitls, carefully watch- ed over by their duennas, walk in the opposite direction on the inside, In this way most Mexican flirtations are begun.

Even human beings notice a difference in their feelings just be- fore a storm, especially if they are troubled with rheumatism or other all- ments of a like nature. “It is reasonable that nature has provided animals with a sixth sense for forecasting weather conditions which mean so much to them,” members of the Genesee Farm- |ers union, as a whole, are favor- lable to the plan and there are other farmers, who are not | members of the union, who are |also in favor of it.
