Miss Ida Wickman and Henry J. Hussman were united in mar- viage Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock in Spokane, by the Rev. Fr. Verhaagen. They were at- tended by Paul Burgund jr., and Miss Leasel Hussman. The bridevroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Hussman of this city. Miss Wickman is the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. August Wickman of White Bird. Mr. and Mrs. Hussman left that evening for the coast, where they will spend two weeks. They will make their home at Roches- ter, Wash., where the groom has a fine position with the N. and M Lumber Co. Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Baker ac- companied by their daughter Vivian, motored to Pullman Sun- day where Miss Vivian will study music during the summer, under the direction of Prof. Meyer, a noted muscial director. On their return Monday they ex- perienced no trouble until near Cottonwood when the mud inter- ferred somewhat and _ forced them to put on their chains. Be- fore putting on their chains Mr. Baker attempted to help a hog | out of a post hole into which he} had fell and had to give it up as} a bad job as his hands were mud- | dy and slick and likewse were} the porkers ears.

RAIN AND HAIL, Cottonwood and _ immediate vicinity was visited Sunday by a heavy rain and hail, the hail lasted for only a few minutes and it is reported to have done no great damage, the rain how- ever was welcomed by the farm- ers who have been wearing a broud smile all week. Sines Sunday, rain has fell at different intervals and today (Thursday) the weather is still unsettled. The hail fell in some places much more severe than in others and on inquiry of farmers from various sections of Camas Prair- ie only a few report any damage, The rainfail the past week al- most assures Camas Prairie of a bumper crop this fall if noth- ing unforseen happens. The erasshopper pest, in the opinion of a majority of the farmers can be taken care of by co-operation and poisoning them when the proper time aifives. There are varied opinions among the farm- ers as to whether the rain and hail the past week has had any material effect in exterminating the hoppers or at least the great- er percentage of them. Some express the belief that they have been annilated while others be- lieve they have not. At any rate, the most conservative farmers urge everyone to be ready with the poison when the weather again settles up and to give the hoppers what is com- ing to them. If the broad smile that the farmers as well as the business men have been wearing the past week is a bremometer, the ware- houses in Cottonwood will be to small to properly take care of u. e big yield expected on the prairie this fall. Here’s hoping the smiles are correct. POLITICS WARMING UP. Politics at the county seat are beginning to warm up and can- didates for the various offices are being groomed. Calvin Hazelbaker, the present county assessor is the only candidate who has declared himself, but gossip has it at the county seat that Don Fisher is being groom- ed by his friends for the posi- tion of sheriff on the republican ticket. Don is an ex-service man and no doubt would make a very good sheriff, if elected. It is also reported that Sheriff Eller will try to sueceed himself. Sheriff Eller has made a very good record and we predict he will give anyone a hard fight. Concerning the remainder of the offices little can be heard about them at the county seat. Time ean only tell who's who. SAYS BONDS ARE A representative of the Spok- ane Asphalt & Paving Co. of Spokane was a business visitor in Cottonwood Thursday in con- nection with their paving con- tract and says that the bonds are sold and that as soon as the bonds are delivered and the con- tract signed the firm is ready to go to work. He stated, that H. C. Green, one of the head men of the company was very anxi- ous to commence work here at once and complete the job in the shortest time possible. He also stated that the only thing that could queer the sale is a slump in the market between now and the time the bonds are delivered. ONE MAN IS HAPPY. Some men are happy when they are making money, others are happy when they are broke, but one man in Cottonwood is exceedingly happy over the fact that he is the daddy of a seven and one-half pound girl that ar- rived at his home last Friday evening and that man is Bart Simon. The little Miss has been named Ellen Mary. Dr. Orr, the attending physician re- ports both mother and babe do- ing nicely. | BUETTNER SALE GOOD ONE. The public sale conducted by Charles Buettner on his ranch seven and one-half miles south- west of Cottonwood Wednesday was attended by a large crowd and everything offered for sale brought good prices. The sale was conducted by Auctioneer Harry Cranke and Ira Robertson who acted as clerk for the First National Bank. Mr. Buettner has_ rented his farm to Rudolph Schroeder and at the present time is undecided as to his future plans.

The Italians reside a short distance from town on the Elk river railway. Their place was searched by Sheriff Wolfe, Chief of Police Steele and Deputy Sheriffs Berg and Jones, and it is alleged 95 gallons of rasin wine, Dago red,” were found fermenting in a crude still. Walking in his sleep, T. R. Larson, well known Salt Lake City traveling man, Monday night at about 2 o’clock jumped from the second story of the Owyhee, at Boise, fractured his skull and sustained injuries which may result in his death. He was rushed to St. Alphonsus hospital and did not regain con- sciousness until 6 o'clock Tues- day evening. An organized attack on the alfalfa weevil which has done inestimable damage in Idaho, and had virtually ruined some fields in the irrigated sectons, is being made from several differ ent angles by the University of Idaho extension division and ex- periment station.

Commissioner Cannon receiv- ed a dispatch from his deputy, Bert F. Savage, director in north Idaho, saying that a request for a refrigerator car for an invoice of lettuce worth $8000 to shipped from Lewiston to Minn- eapolis had met with the re- sponce that it could not be sup- plied by the American Railway Express company.
