BEATEN ON HOME GROUND. Cottonwood lost another game the first one to be played on the home grounds , Sunday to Kam- iah by a score of 10 to 8. While there are always many excuses for the losing team to offer why they did not win we can honest- ly say that Cottonwood was de- serving of victory, and especi- ally can we say this for pitche: Frank Albers. Two or three fly alls knocked into the field, that should have been handled, cost the home boys defeat. Two surprises were sprung Sunday, one being the defeat of Kooskia on its home grounds by Craigmont, the score being 7 to 5, and the other by Grangeville goose epving Winchester, while the county seat boys managed to drive 7 runners over home plate. After having strengthened their team, Ferdinand was again defeated by Nezperce, by a score of 8 to 2. A game that is expected to draw unsual interest is the game tween Nezperce and Grange- ville Sunday at Grangeville. The county seat boys claim to have the best pitcher that has repre- sented them in many years. Nez- perce appears to be the favorite with Cottonwood baseball fans but at that no doubt the Lewis county boys will have to play ball if they expect to win. The schedule for next Sunday is as follows: Cottonwood at Craigmont. Kooskia at Kamiah. Nezperce at Grangeville. Winchester at Ferdinand. HEARING SET FOR SEPT. 16. Idaho’s battle for a north and south railroad will be started in earnest September 16, when at 10 o'clock a. m. in the federal court room in Boise the inter- state commerce commission will grant Idaho shippers and affect- ed railroads hearing on the case. Roy L. Black, attorney general of Idaho, announced the hearing date Monday. The state proposes that the interstate commerce commission require the Northern Pacific and subsidiary railroads to build an extension from Fenn, to New Meadows. This will connect the Camas Prairie line with the Paci- fie & Idaho Northern. _ The Northern Pacific has ob- jected on the ground that the extension will not produce enough traffic to pay for itself. THE PATH SHE CHOSE. _The story is that of a young! girl who has grown up amid sor- | id environment, who dreams of a life beyond her horizon, leaves her shabby home and, by ambi- tion and determination, forges ahead until she is about to real-, ize her youthful ambition. Then the shadow of the past looms up before her, ready to blot out all her good work. justice sway in her favor, how- ever, and she ultimately reaches her goal.

T. Dinsmore Upton probably has more friends among the boys and girls of the Middle West than any other man in that section, He has often been called “Pal of All the Kids in Town.” It takes a man with a big heart to win that titl. Upton was formerly Superintendent of the Mu- nicipal Play Grounds in Grand Rapids, Mich., and later Athletic Director for Uncle Sam. His lecture on the boy and girl problem will be one of Chau- tauqua’s big events.

USUALLY AWAITS CALAMITY Operator Shduld Familiarize Himselt With Wiring on His Car—instruc- tion Book Will Help Solve Puzzling Situations. “The average driver knows nothing about electricity, as applied to the au tomobile, and so is unable to tell when the ignition system is functioning properly,” says a well-known motorcar authority. “He ts afraid to experiment and be- lieves in letting things alone until something happens. He then looks over the system for the first time. and, of course, does not know whether the wiring Is right or not. I have re peatedly pointed out cases of worn in- sulation among other ‘troubles about which the operator seemed entirely lost. In one case the spark was jump- ing freely from a distributer wire to a piece of metal nearby, and he pointed to it as evidence that he had a good spark—evidently accepting It as a mat- ter of course that the spark should Jump where It did. Watch Chafing Wires. “Even ff the operator understands nothing of the nature of his ignition system he should, at least, familiarize himself with the positions of the varl- ous wires, thelr colors and general condition. Here the instruction book will be a grent help. Watch ‘particu- larly for cases where one wire chafes against another or some plece of metal. Such places should be protect- ed with electric tape, or at least sepa- rated so that no short ctrcult may oe- cur, But the high tension or secondary wires may develop a short circuit where least expected, so that It would be well to go over them occasionally to see that no leakage takes place. | This is particularly true during rainy Chautauqua _ Will soon be here JUNE 19 to 24 | This will be Cottonwood's week of enjoy- weather.
