VOLUME 28. NO. 26 - | The preparations for the cele- bration for July 5th on the Con- vent grounds, jointly with the laying of the corner stone of the “New St. Gertrude’s are steadily progressing. The Rey. Pastors of the parishes of the Prairie, and other clergymen, friends of the Institution, have been invit- ed and have agreed to be present, together with as many of their people as can conveniently do so on that occasion. But above all, our people and citizens of Cotton- wood have taken up the idea with a vim truly characteristic of their spirit of fraternity in the “local doings.’ Accordingly a large crowd is looked for on that day, and full provision will be made to accommodate the vis- itors and see to their entertain- ment in a way which will leave | in the hearts of all a lasting and | happy remembrance. There will} be ample accomodation for autos and vehicles and as for the peo: ple they will have to make speci al efforts to elbow each other, so| spacious are the grounds. | We feel like encroaching on) the traditional “Card of Thanks” | for the spirit of co-operation is | already speaking for itself. Spec- ial invitations have been extend. | ed tothe St. Joseph’s Verein! The Ladies’ Society, to the} Knights of Columbus, to the} Commercial Club and to the City Fathers of our town, and it is gratifying how all are respond- ing by appointing committees, the members of which are al- ready making plans and looking around to find some thing to do towards assuring the success of the celel ion. His Lordship Will-Be Present. | One circumstance which will not fail to fan common enthusi- asm is this: Our beloved Bishop was far away in Rome, and of course his absence would have! been a damper on the festivities. Every effort was made to secure his presence; the laying of the cornerstone was delayed for al-| most two months and in th mean while urgent correspond- ence was kept up ete. The last word had been, that His Lord-| ship would most probably be back in time, and as a last word | His Lordship wired from New York in reply to special inquiry: “Expect me at St. Gertrude’s for the 5th of July.” This therefore settles it. We understand it; must be a sacrifice on the part) of our Bishop to forego his legi- mate wish for a well-deserved rest at home after the fatigues of his journey. Those at St.) Gertrudes’s see in this condes-} cension a proof of His Lordship’s | interest in this institution, and our people and co-citizens will undoubtedly endorse these senti- ments and show by their gener- | ous efforts and cheerful presence that Cottonwood appreciates the presence of the Head of the Dio- cese of Boise in their midst, at least as much as he himself en- joys being with them, for it will he remembered that this is the third “Fourth of July” that he spends in @ottonwood. | Practical Suggestions. We hope that the beautiful prospects which Holy Providence holds out for a bumper crop this | year will also enlarge your hearts and loosen up the strings , of yowr purse in the conviction that nothing is better calculated to invite the liberalty of God up- on our heads than our own gen- erosity towards those _ institu- tions which make it their life- work and their hearts best en- deavors to promote the moral welfare of their fellowmen. And you know it, St. Gertrude’s is precisely one such institution, destined to adorn more and more onr town, our prairie and our—}| (but let us avoid comnarisons). The vood Sisters give their pray- ers, their time, and their activity | especially mental, to the great cause and your appreciation of their work in your midst will, easily suegest to vou in which substantial channels your co-| operation must be directed, “| levct for the present.

Rosenberger, had a narrow es- cape from death Monday noon in front of the Chronicle office when he was knocked down by the Buick truck driven by Olin Hamlin. At first, it was thought the boy had received serious injuries, but after being taken to the office of Dr. Orr and an examination was made it was discovered that no serious injuries were received . Outside of a few scratches and freight. According to by -standers Olin, was not driving fast, there were two cars parked on the side of the street, and the boy not seeing the approaching truck darted out from behind one of the parked cars to cross the street and practically ran into the moving machine. The acci- dent was a very fortunate one and might have resulted in a much more serious outcome. Mr. Hamlin should be exonorated from all blame for the accident and drivers as well as pedestrans should take a lesson from this accident and stop, look and list- en before crossing the streets, especially when traffic is heavy as proved to be the case Monday. COUNTY SEAT WINS. The Grangeville baseball team defeated the Cottonwood boys on the home grounds Sunday by a score of 15 to7. The game was a loosely played one and both teams made numerous errors. The attendance was the larg- est that has been assembled on the local field for some time, the gate receipts amounting to ap- proximately $160. Grangeville fans accompanied their team in countless numbers. At Nezperce, Kamiah 10. At Kooskia, Kooskia 3, Fer- dinand 0. At Winchester, Winchester 7, Craigmont 4. Games Sunday.

CHRONICLE The Spokane Carnival and Amusement Co. of Spokane, Wash., arrived in Cottonwood | Monday evening from Craigmont where they showed during the big celebration at that place last | week. The company carries, with them a farris wheel, merry- | go-round as well as numerous | side shows and will show in Cot-! tonwood, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Their tents are pit- ched near the stock yards and they opened their various amuse- ments to the public yesterday morning. CCESS. The Young Ladies’ Sodality ot Greencreek who gave a home talent play at St. Anthony’s hall at Greencreek last Sunday even- ing were greeted by a large and appreciative audience. Those taking part in the play were amply rewarded for their hard work in making the play such a : big success by the appreciation that the audience showed at dif- ferent intervals during the even- ing by hearty encores. The re- ceipts of the evening amounted | to $67.00 WIN AGAIN. The Greencreek baseball team | added another victory to its list last Sunday, having defeated the | Winona baseball team by a score | of 4 to 1 before a very large! crowd.

CHAUTAUQUA PLEASES FOLKS CLOSING NUMBER LAST) NIGHT —SIGN UP FOR NEXT YEAR, Cottonwood’s Chautauqua, un- | der the direction of the Ellison- | White system, completed its six | day engagement in Cottonwood | last night and this morning | those connected with the con-| cern with their equiptment de- | parted for Toppenish, Wash. | The six days were full of good | things in the entertainment and | instructive line. Some programs | were, of course better than oth- | ers and what one person liked | others disliked but we are sure that everyone found some of the entertainments to their liking. The big tent was pitched near the J. V. Baker home on the ground belonging to John Hoene. Miss Bristol, of Waterloo, Towa was the platform manager, sent here by the Ellison-White people and while in the city made many friends among our people by her pleasant and charming person- ality. Financially, the local commit- tee had to make up a deficiency, but this did not hold back a large percentage of them from signing the contract for 1921. One of the main reasons for the defici- ency we believe was due to the threatening rain the first of the week as well as the poor crops on the prairie the past year which held back many lovers of this kind of entertainment. With good prospects for a bump- er crop this year we predict that the required amount of tickets will be easily sold next year. Sign for Next Year. The contract for next year was signed by 30 business men, the contract calling for a guar- antee of 500 tickets and 75 per cent of the general admissions. Most people are well aware of the fact that entertainers, equal to those that visited Cottonwood this week can not be expected to make visits to a town the siz® of Cottonwood located off of the main line without a guarantee, sufficient to make their coming here a financial success, or at least to +e guaranteed of ex- penses. With a 50-50 break next year and everyone pushing at the wheel we believe the chautauqua success as well as a most pleas-| the home of Dr. and Mrs. J. E. ant and for 1921 will be a big =i day evening for a short visit at $2.00 PER YEAR NEWS AROUND — THE STATE i Items of Interest From Various Sections Reproduced for Ben- efit of Our Readers. Lawrence, the two-year old son of Clyde Clovis, a well known business man of Craigmont, ac- | cidentally drank some of the con- tents of a can of concentrated lye. Dr. Dunlap has since had the boy under his care, but his recivery is still uncertain, C. C. Campbell, president of the Anderson Brothers’ bank of Idaho Falls and a very promin- ent banker of the state, was found dead in his room at Boise Wednesday with a bullet wound in his head. He is believed to have taken his life while in a fit of despondency. The White-Delaney Grain Co., one of the largest grain compan- les now operating in the west, which has recently been consoli- dated with the Fischer Flour Milling Co., and the Milwaukee Grain & Elevator Co., will open offices in Craigmont and all oth- er towns on the Nezperce and Camas prairies this season. A contract for the erection of 1 hotel at Lewiston, Idaho, to cost, with the grounds, approx- imately $460,000, was let to the Hurley-Mason company by the Lewiston Hotel company at a conference in Spokane Saturday night. Work is to start in the near future, according to a state- ment by President R. S. Erb of the hotel company. There have been 47,000 auto- mobile and truck licenses issued | in the state of Idaho, as compar- ed with 30,000 at this time last | vear, according to the statement of Paul Davis, of the license bur- }eau of the state department of law enforcement. | The averace cost of each license is estimated to be between $20 and $25, which makes at least $1,000,000 that has been paid into the state treasury for automobile licenses. Word received from the hospi- tal at Colfax is to the effect that Fred Perkins, a prominent stock- man of Genesee who was serious- ly injured Sunday when PF, B. Sayre was killed as the result of a car in which they were riding turning turtle will likely recover. The attending physician is very hopeful. Mr. Perkins regained consciousness for a period Mon- day and spoke with Mrs. Perk- | in’s brother for a minute or so. A jury this week acquitted Dr. C. C. Smith of King Hill in | south Idaho, who on August 18 | shot and killed Howard Bellmire 'a lad who attempted to steal | watermelons from his patch. The case atracted widespread at- tention. Bellmire, who was em- ployed by a ditch company, was sent out to inspect one of the ditches. He had an automobile and was accompanied by a young lady. When they passed the Smith place, she dared him to go in and get a melon. It happen- ed that Smith was on the lookout for melon theieves that night. PIPE IS DELAYED. Owing to the fact that a car- load of water mains as well as the elbows and other material to be used in laying the new water mains have become lost in tran- sit from Spokane the work of re- placing the new mains was de- layed for another week. The work of uncovering the old mains however, has been in progress all week and when the material does arrive, the work will be completed as rapidly as possible, | Mr and Mrs. J. W. Ellenwood enjoyed a visit from their daugh- ter Mrs. Peter Gilchrist and son Dwight, of Spokane, a few days this week. Miss Hazel Van Pool came out from her home on the river Mon- day to spend the week in Cotton- wood visiting with friends and relatives. While in the city she also attended the chautauqua. Mrs. E. A. Keane, of Moscow, | arrived in Cottonwood Wednes- Reilly.
