VOLUME 28. NO. 18. BORAH HEADS DELEGATES EVEN DIVISION CLAIMED— PERSONNEL INCLINES TO WOOD. . Coeur d’Alene, Apri] 28.—At least four of Idaho’s eight dele- “gates to the republican national convention, and perhaps five, are regarded as favorable to Gen. Wood, one is known to fav- or Senator Johnson, one is re- garded as non-commital and the other is reported as favoring either Gov. Lowden or Senator Harding. The convention nom- inally split fifty-fifty, naming four recognized Wood delegates and four unpledged, close friends of United States Senator W. E. Borah, who heads the delega- tion. Resolutions were passed endorsing the congressional and state administration and the American legion. The fight ex- pected to break on the floor in an attack on John W. Hart, na- tional committeeman, was block- ed from getting before the con- vention. The delegates and alternates | elected follow: Delegates at large, Senator Borah, Ada; John Thomas, Gooding ;John P. Gray, Coeur d’Alene; Stanley Easton, Shoshone. Alternates, Dr. O. D. Platt, Benewah; Frank H. Adams, Minidoka; Henry H. Armstead, Bonner; Mrs. D. C. McDougall, Ada. First district delegates—Har- old Jenness, Canyon county; Henry M. Jones, Nez Perce coun- ty; Alternates Fred Crane, Coeur d'Alene; J. W. Snook, Lemhi. Second district delegates—W. P. Guthrie, Twin Falls; Senator Marshall D. Yeaman, Bonneville. Alternates, T. N. Edwards, Ban- nock; E. M. Kennedy, Bingham. Of these Senator Borah is fav- orable to Senator Johnson; Mes- srs. Gray, Easton, Jones and Jenness are said to be staunch Wood men; Mr. Yeaman is re- garded as favoring Lowden or Harding; Mr. Thomas is said not to have committed himself and Mr. Guthrie is considered doubt- ful. Wood supporters were claim- ing ‘tonight that both Thomas and Guthrie would support their candidate in the national conven- tion, while Borah men said they were in doubt as to their prob- able stand. Jenness and Jones are ex-service men. The dele- gates are unpledged. Features of Resolutions. The resolutions passed by the convention as presented by the committee say in part: “We glory in the valor, patriotism and Americanism of our Ameri- can soldiers in the late war. We indorse and approve the efforts made to band our returned sol- diers together into the American legion and pledge the support of the republicans of Idaho to pre- serve to posterity the bravery and heroism of these soldiers. “We heartily indorse the ac- tion of our republican members of congress in maintaining those immortal principles and com- mend them for their zeal in pub- lic affairs and devotion at all times to true American ideals. “We recognize that Senator Borah in his opposition to the league of nations as presented by President Wilson has render- ed to the nation a great service. We approve the splendid success of Congressmen French and Smith. “We realize that the members of this convention have not been commissioned to deal with other than national questions or to pass judgment upon men or pol- icies of state administration. We cannot, however, refrain from commenting on the vigor and efficiency which have char- acterized Governor Davis’ ad- ministration. We feel that the interests of the state have been carefully safeguarded and that the voters of the state wil! un- hesitatinelv conclude to continue the republican party in power.” CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our kind friends and neighbors who so willinglv assisted us during the recent illness and death of our Tittle daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kaufmann jr. | SOLD FINE FARM. i William Buettner Saturday sold his fine farm consisting of 160 acres located five miles southwest of Cottonwood to Gus Eckerman for 16,000 or $100 an ‘acre. One hundred and twenty acres is first class tillable land and the improvements on the! farm are first class. | ' Mr. Buettner moved his fam- ‘ily to Cottonwood early last fall to take advantage of ‘Cotton- wood’s fine schools and since has , become identified with the Cot- tonwood Battery & Welding shop and as he intends to make Cottonwood his home decided to sell his farm holdings. Mr. Buettner will dispose of his personal property at a public auction to be held Tuesday, May 11th. Owing toa _ misunder- stending in dates bills were printed and have been distribut- ed announcing his sale for Wed- nesday, May 5th but the dates has been changed to Tuesday, May 11th on agcount of Auction- eer Cranke being unable to be present on the 5th of May. COTTONWOOD T0 REMAIN IN LEAGUE LEAGUE WILL CONSIST OF 8 TEAMS—COTTONWOOD TO GRANGEVILLE. At a meeting of the various managei's of the Praire Baseball League held at Grangeville last} Saturday the membership to the league was increased from six to eight teams, and under the new plan Winchester and Kooskia will be admitted to the league. A representative was present from each town a member of the league with the exception Kamiah. Will Remain in League. Kamiah and Cottonwood will not be excluded from the league | as was intimated in the Idaho County Free Press of last week and from all indications it was not the sentiment of the meeting at Grangeville to exclude these | two towns. The article in the Free Press caused no little comment here, and at Kamiah, the result of which only served to re-open an old wound of rivalry between Cottonwood and which for the past few years has ! been dormant and it is our hope will continue to be so. After} matters had been fully explain- ed to the Cottonwood delegation the matter was dropped and as far as Cottonwood is concerned it is hoped the same friendly | feeling will exist as has been the case for the past few years.

COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1920 HIS BUSINESS — HERE FOR $18,000 which comprises one and one-fourth acres and a modern bungatow which was taken in for $6500. The business block disposed of by Mr. Goldstone is now oc- cupied by the Leggett Merecan- | tile Co., and is the mose desirable location in Cottonwood. The new purchaser of the pro- perty is by no means a stranger in Cottonwood having been a resident of this section for many | years, removing to Clarkston | only last fall. LEWISTON WINS. Lewiston did it! The city of Lewiston last week made history for its little city that will be re- membered for vears to come by its citizens as well as outside points when it made the final drive to raise $250,000 for a half million dollar hotel. More than $50,000 was raised on the last day of the drive and assures that city of a hotel, second to none inthe country, and one that will be of as much benefit 'to the prairie people as to the Lewiston citizens themselves. So well did their plan work in raising funds for the hotel that several other cities throughout the north west have taken simi- lar steps to raise funds for buildings. With perhaps the exception of the famous Lewiston Hill, Lew iston will receive more publicity from their recent undertaking than from any other movement ever attempted in that city since its birth. The loyal business men and citizens who stood behind the movement, and their city, are to be congratulated on the splendid success they made it, and other cities and towns can well afford to take a lesson in boosting, from the Snake river metropolis. Nothing seems impossible when everyone puts his shoulder to the wheel. BENSCHING-ENTRUP. Alvin Henry Bensching Miss Mary Entrup, two very popular young people of the Keuterville section were married by the Rev. Fr. Martin of Keu- terville Tuesday morning at the Catholic church. | After the wedding the happy@ couple so- journed to the home of the brides parents where a big wed- ding dinner was served to a large number of relatives and friends.

A big wedding dance was giv en by the groom Tuesday night j}and was attended bya large | number of friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Bensching will make their home on the groom's farm in the Keuterville section and the Chronicle wishes to be numbered with their many friends .in extending to them happiness throughout their mar- ried life. and WINTER HARD ONE.

Mr. Rhoades stated the horses were all young animals and weighed around the 1200 pound mark. Owing to the scarcity of feed and the high cost of the same Mr. Rhoades took the second best means of saving his horses but owing to deep snow and cold weather the horses were either starved to death or frozen. Mr. Rhoades wintered several horses in Cottonwood which cost him on an average of $80 a head for Fr. Willibrord in charge of the| feed services.

The lowest pric- ed license in Idaho is that for the Ford cars, which is $15.

Mr. Doerner, who is past 70 years of age, is still possessed of the technique which has made for him a national reputation. Southern Idaho is experienc- ing one of the most backward springs in its history due to cold weather. This is also true of various parts of the state.
