STEAL SUIT CLOTHES. G. H. Davis and G. W. Themas who were working on the night | shift of the Craig Mountain, Co,, at Winchester, on Tuesday pur- loined a suit of clothes belonging to Ralph Emerick and made their escape to Spokane. They were located there by the police on information from Sheriff Mitchell of this county, and Deputy Sheriff Smith left this morning for that city to bring them back here for trial. Ordinarily the theft of a suit of clothes would not be consider- ed a serious matter, but in these | days when clothes are clothes one had better cover his tracks very carefully when he goes out after another person’s wardrobe. This suit was valued at $65.— Nezperce Herald. PUBLISHED 20 YEARS AGO. Born---On May 7, 1900, to the wife of Lloyd Collier, a son. C. E.

Thomas Wren, the owner of) | several hundred acres of the best} land on Camas Prairie predicts a bumper crop on Camas Prairie this year. In an interview giv-| en out to the Lewiston Tribune this week he had the following to say in regard to crop pros- ots : Thomas Wren, who has been at his big farm on Camas prairie | for two weeks, was in Lewiston for a short period Wednesday, hurrying to the bedside at Spo- kane of his brother, John Wren of Hillyard, who is critically ill and who it is feared cannot sur-| vive. “Never in years,” Mr. Wren said, “has there been such a wonderfully favorable season for crops. These recent rains were just what the country needed. It is bound to be a great year for production in all lines and espec- \ially with the grains. The late ‘rains perhaps have caused some little delay in spring planting, perhaps even some loss, but there is yet time with clear weather to plant the quick grow- ing, such as early Bart, varieties but regardless of that any cur- tailment of planted spring acre- age will be nothing as compared to the general benefits resulting throughout the entire grain belt. | I feel safe in forecasting a great, crop. The rain has also helped the grass country, with the hills | shooting up a growth that is a! delight to the stockman.” “T see the big hotel project is to be realized in Lewiston,” add- ed Mr. Wren. “This was a great move for Lewiston and the en- tire country. Now let us all get back of the completion of that north and south state road, ‘another developer to meet the needs of our developing country. | Mr. Wren’s estimate as to con- ditions on the prairie apply to the lower valley country also, as judged by comment made by men who have driven through the grain belt. View is unan- imous that not in years has there been shown such a healthy growth of grain as now spreads | over thousands upon thousands of acres. POPULATION INCREASES. The male population of Cot- tonwood and vicinity was great- ly increased this week when five fine youngsters made _ their ap- pearance in various homes in this section. They are as fol- lows: A baby boy to Mr. and Mrs. Joe Arnzen of Greencreek, May) 2nd. A baby boy to Mr. and Mrs. | Tony Ruhoff, May 6.

The jurors in Judge Flynn's court at Coeur d’Alene in the Eighth Judicial district last week put in a request for short- er hours and more pay. Hay sold for $55 a ton at Johm Schrader’s auction Tuesday near Kamiah and is without doubt the top price ever paid for that commodity in the Kamiah val- ley. There were several tons of it and it was divided among several farmers. Lewiston Lodge, No. 896, Ber- evolent Order of Elks, will take in another big class on June 12. The drive for new members which has heen on for some time will close Thursday, It is ex- vected that about 150 new mem- bers will hit the mysterious trail June 12, and the usual “big time” on such occasions will be put on. A stork held up passenger train No. 82 on the Oregon Short Line railroad from Pocat- near Downey. An expectant mother traveling in a day coach confided her difficulties to Conductor B. C. McCullow and was _immedi- ately transferred to the draw- ing room of a standard Pullman and a doctor wired for to meet the train at Downey. Here the train was held an hour and a half until a baby girl was born, The young mother was met at Salt Lake by her parents and all are doing nicely. The conduct- or was commended by railway officials for breaking the sche- dule under the circumstances. State Timber Cruiser Ben Bush of Moscow and State Land Commissioner Nash are prepar- ing for the largest sale of tim- ber ever held in Idaho.

Plans for the 22nd annual com- mencement of the Lewiston state normal school are now about completed. The class will number 66. William Wild, a prisoner of the state penitentiary, is dead as the result of a terrible blow de- livered from a two by four plank in the hands of J. C. McDonald, also an inmate of the prison. The body of Wild is in the hands of Coroner Summers who has summoned an inquest to be held | McDonald is in solitary confine- | ment awaiting further develop- ments. He will likely be ar- raigned later on the charge of | manslaughter. | A number of the younger | haseball artists of Cottonwood | deféated a similar team at Ferd- | inand Sunday by a score of 14 to '6. If the town team can keep up the record eiabined by the coming generation we no doubt win the Prairie League penant. ——-—
