The games were attended by large crowds and some fine ex- hibitions of the national game were witnessed at the various towns. | Cottonwood Lost Game. Although playing winning ball, Cottonwood due to an error in the fatal seventh lost its first game of.the season at Kamiah by a score of 7 to 5. The game was a fine exhibitions of base- ball with Cottonwood leading un- til the 7th inning when a mis- play cost the home boys the game. While it has been the opinion of a number of baseball fans in | Cottonwood that the local team would have to be strengthened somewhat if they made any showing in the league, the con- trary proved to be the case Sun- day, and we predict if the local boys play up to the standard ad- opted Sunday we will be well up to the head of the list at the end of the season. | Every member of the team played exceptionally good ball, | this praving especially true to who picked them up like an old veteran. The work of Terhaar at second and Maugg on short is also worthy of special mention. Schurman, the southpaw, who done the twirling for Cotton- wood was deserving of a victory and pitched steady ball through- out the entire game, walking only one man and having several | | gram of the 6th instant, asking strikeouts to his credit. While the local boys lost their first game they are by no means disheartened, and feel very good over the showing made Sunday as they were pitched against one of the strongest teams in the league and playing on a strange diamond. The umpiring of Bob Johnson was also another feature of the game, as every decision was ren- dered with fairness. Bob, as an umpire is four square to the wind and gives decisions that are fair regardless in whose favor. Nezperce Easy Winner One of the greatest surprises of the day was the defeat of Ferdinand by such an over- whelming score 14 to 0 by Nez- perce. Ferdinand has been re- garded as the strongest member of the league according to its line up, and the fans are at a loss to explain the results of the game. It is stated that betting at Ferdinand was heavy and that a large amount of Ferdin- and money had to go begging. Ingram Wins for Grangeville. Grangeville defeated Winch ester by a score of 5 to 2. The game was won by Ingram, cap- tain of the team in the seventh inning when two men were on bases and he featured with a home run. According to re- ports the game was attended by a large crowd. Grangeville is now the winner and loser of one game each. Craigmont Wins. Craigmont defeated Kooskia on its home grounds Sunday by a score of 9 to7. The game was a hotly contested one and the ninth inning. Games for Sunday Craigmont at Cottonwood. Kamiah at Kooskia. BURIED AT MOSCOW. Raymond McClintic, the little eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. McClintic, who died on May 7th was laid to rest at Moscow May 9th. Funeral serv- ices were held at Juliaetta on May 9th, by the Rev. Fr. Tudor. The services at Juliaetta were very impressive and was attend- by a large gathering of friends of the family. Raymond was born at Juliaetta June 11, 1911 and the high regard in) which he was held there was in evidence when his entire class of former schoolmates attended the funeral services in a body. The casket was banked with one solid mass of beautiful flow- ers, being placed there by friends of the little boy. Raymond, while having only | lived here since the first of the vear, had become to be a general favorite among his companions and his kind disposition and happy smile that also won him manv friends among the older peovle. The bereaved parents return- ed to Cottonwood the day follow- ing the funeral, and while this is their only child, the shock was a severe one, especially to the mother, whose grief cannot be expresed in words. FEDERAL AID. SLOW COMING FRENCH SAYS 50-50 BASIS WILL BE CONTINUED ULTIMATELY. Federal funds for road build- ing on the 50-50 basis are not now available, but will probably be authorized ultimately, writes Congressman Burton L. French | to President Bevis of the Lewis- ton Commercial club, who had sent a telegram to Mr. French inquiring as to the prospect of | further road appropriation legis- lation by the present congress. “It is my judgement that a road building program on a fifty but it will have to be carried out, as I see it, in the form of a pro- gram rather than in the form of a job to be finished up in a com- writes. gressman French to President Bevis follows: “T am in receipt of your tele- as tothe prospect of federal road appropriations in the pre- sent congress, the amount and probable time of enactment of | law, ete., and I have wired you! | that it is impossible to advise of any probable action in the mat-| ter and that the general senti- | ment seems to be that the coun- | try had better bring up in its road building the program made possible by appropriations here-| tofore authorized. “T wish that I could write you more definitely than this, and I really have no doubt that the road building program is one that will be definitely followed by the country along the basis of a fifty-ffty plan. The general sentiment, however, seems to be that there is so much road build- ingwork on at this time, that prices are so high, materials! even scarce for some kinds of work, that it is unwise to force the matter, and that a steadier gradual road building program will be altogether best, and espe- cially when consideration is had for the condition of the federal treasury. Insufficient Funds. “T realize the importance of the matter for our state and also realize that bonds authorized by the state if Idaho, or counties within the state , or municipali- ties organized for road purposes, | on a fifty-fifty basis would call for several times the amount of ~— Japanese Love Song ..

On the other hand, it is out of the question to provide any general program for Idaho that does not include all the states. “T realize that any road dist- ricts whose roads will need to wait for a time, will naturally be impatient, but I do not see how any great change can be brought about from _ the present pro- gram. “If, in fact, as much money were appropriated by the feder- al government as has been ap- | propriated during the past five | years, it would not take care of one-half of the projects in Ida- ho, where bonds have already been voted. It would relieve the situation as to those projects that could be taken care of, but, of course, more than half of these projects would have to wait for still further funds. Will Be Slow Process, “It is my judgment that a road building program on a fifty fifty basis will be carried out, but it will have to be carred out, as I see it, in the form of a pro- gram rather than in the form of a job to be finished up in a com- paratively short time. “T wish that I could write vou more satisfactorily, but unless conditions shall change very ma- George Seubert behind the bat! fifty basis will be carried out,| terially, I shall not be able to do so.” FARM IN YAKIMA VALLEY. ; An a Purebred Shorthorns and re- paratively short time,” he) gistered Percherons and Shires : | will take the place of Holsteins The entire letter sent by Con-| on the California ranch of 250 acres near Buena, which has re- | cently been sold for $75,000 by Charles Meade Jr. to Mulhall & Son of Fenn, Idaho.

Two most popular young peo- ple were wedded Wednesday | morning at 8 o’clock at Keuter- ville when Miss Kathryn Luch- tefeld and George B. Weber pledged their marriage vows, the beautiful wedding mass and ring ceremony being performed by the Rev. Fr. Martin. The wedding took place at the Catholic church at Keuterville and was witnessed by only the immediate relatives and friends of the bridal couple.
