VOLUME 28. NO. 27 PROGRAM FOR CELEBRATION AT THE CONVENT JULY 5TH WILL BE AN APPRO- PRIATE ONE ° With the laying of the corner- stone of the new St. Gertrude’s and the social picnic on the grounds of the convent now near at hand, those interested in the success of the twofold event are busy pooling their ideas and co- ordinating their best efforts. Once more, we extend a cordial invitation to all, regardless of creed, to unite together on this occasion and prove to the good Sisters that they do not stand alone in their noble enterprise. “One heart and one soul” is the motto of the convent, let it be! yours also on the glorious fifth of July. The Program. 1. First on the program are naturally those who have devis- | ed it and have taken it upon themselves to welcome the guests and to see that every one of them feels at home. The of- fice of chairman of the reception and subscription committee be- longs by right to John Meyer, who, ever since the beginning of the erection of the new convent last year has been the accredited trustee and adviser for and in hehalf of the St. Gertrude’s Community. This deservins; gentleman wil! be ably assisted on the 5th by the following committee: J, F. Jenny, Jake Welte, Gus Seubert, John Knop and Wm. Hussman all under the immediate supervision of the - Chaplain, Fr. James, O. S., 2. Asolemn FIELD HIGH MASS will be the first religious act of the day, and should begin at about 9:30 a.m. You are, kindly requested to come some- what ahead of time in order to be formed into a procession which will escort His Lordship and the clergy from the chapel proper, to the new grounds. Those belong- ing to religious societies will have their banner and insignia. At Holy Mass His Lordship will assist pontifically. The singing at Mass will be in charge of the Sisters’ Choir, and a couple of | selections will be rendered by the Cottonwood Parish Choir. A short address will be delivered, probably by His Lordship 8. The religious service being over, the social picnic will com- mence. Over and above the re- creations from each one’s initia- tive, various entertainments will be provided, and no one needs feel at a loss to spend the time pleasantly. The spirit of cheer and good will is expected to hold full sway all day. There will be stands and tables loaded with the good things which erown up people and children alike are wont to relish. Real lunch will be served and also. sparkling cooling drinks. The managers assure us that the prices are moderate and fair. There are really so many details connected with this kind of feast that it is better not to specify. Come, and see, and be convinced. 4. At 3 o’clock the surround- ing hills will echo forth the joy- ous peals of the Convent Bells. “This will be your signal.” Take up the suggestion, and, as in the morning ceremony, rally around your respective banners, put on your badges, and take your place once more in the solemn proces- sion will form escort to our be- loved Bishop, who, vested in the insignia of his Pontifical office, will, attended by the Priests, bless and _ solemnly install the) beautiful CORNER-STONE of St. Gertrude’s. This is an im- posing ceremony, often made) mention of in the Old Testament, | which conveys to the reflective mind the consoling truth that! Christ Jesus is the true corner- stone of our spiritual life, Him- self “our life and resurrection”. , An address, we expect, from our; Rt. Rev. Bishop, will sound the key-note of the ceremony. The Sisters’ Choir will render the liturgical parts. 5. By this time we expect, that the minds of all present have been raised on high in their communion with the lofty truths a their hearts are inflamed | county the past week. | goodness ; and no doubt all will join with one heart, one soul, and one voice in the Hymn of Thanksgiving, led by the Cot- tonwood parish Choir. 6. When the heart is full it must needs voice its feelings. Some of our good friends have kindly volunteered to make themselves the interpreters of these swelling inner emotions. , Among the speakers of the day let us mention our worthy Mayor Mr. Peterson, who will speak in the name of Cottonwood. The newly elected president Mr. Bel- knap for the Commercial Club; and various other speakers of societies will be called upon for short addresses. These gentle- men will in turn take the stand and accentuate more and more the spirit of fraternity which has already run thru the day’s celebration. Their interesting speeches will be interspersed with PATRIOTIC SONGS ren- dered by the Cottonwood parish Choir under the able leadership of their director, Mr. B. L. Hus- sman. This Feast, like all thines of this world, must come to an end. But we are sure that you will leave the grounds of St. Gert- rude’s carrying with you a happy remembrance. You shail have done to yourselves by taking part in a healthy recrea- tion; you shall have cemented the spirit of union with your fellow-men; and you shall have rejoiced the hearts of the good Sisters and inspired them with new courage and zeal for their noble task. May we not call this the end of a_ perfect day.? and who would like to be without its blessings? All welcome then to the St. Gertrude’s grounds on the 5th of July. In the name of the Sisters of St. Gertrude’s. REV. FR. JAMES, O. S. B. FIGHTING GRASSHOPPERS HAVE ENOUGH POISON OUT FOR 20,000 ACRES SAYS COUNTY AGENT. An extensive campaign is be- ing made on the grasshoppers in this section of the county under the supervision of the Idaho County Farm Bureau the results of which already no doubt have saved the farmers in Idaho coun- ty thousands of dollars. County Agent Pavey accom- panied by V. E. Jones, assistant etomologist of the University of Idaho were in Cottonwood Mon- day in the interests of the grass- hopper pleague. They both state that the hoppers have hat- ched in large numbers the last week and they are highly pleas- ed with the cooperation spirit that has been shown by the farmers in every section of the county and where poison was used little fear is being felt for the crops. County Farm Agent R. M. Pavey says the grasshopper menace is far more serious than last year. Twenty thousand acres have been treated and sup- plies for treatment of another 20,000 acres are en route from Grand Junction, Col. In order to properly handle the situation Mr. Jones, the grasshopper expert will take ‘care of this section of the county and his services may be procured at any time, by calling on him. Several communities have or- ganized in this gection of the The or- ganizations, as planned worked as follows: Each farmer in the club contributes an equal amount of money which is spent for poi- son and when the hoppers ap- pear the poison is used to the best advantage, regardless of where they may be. This plan is working very successfully in various sections of the state and no doubt will do much to save the fine crops here ELECTED PRESIDENT. M. M. Belknap was elected president of the Commercial Club for the coming year at a meeting held by that organiza- tion at the council chambers .

Cottonwood has been under a severe handicap this year owing to the fact that all of her players are young at the game and have played several games that they were entitled to win losing the games only through lack of ex- perience.

Thornton, 84 years old, and father of Mrs. Sam Craw- ford, was one of the passengers to take a trip in the big Curtiss airship, here last week, and he enjoyed it like a youngster. Mr. Thornton called it his “million dollar trip,” and he no doubt holds the record as to age for flying in this part of the state. Two of his grand-sons paid for the trip and they enjoyed having the old gentleman take the ride as much as he did.—Lewis County Register. CALL FOR BIDS. Bids have been called to be opened at the U. S. forestry of- fice in Missoula on July 10 for the construction of eleven miles of highway which will extend from a point near the Rock Ridge school house, about five miles southeast of Grangeville, to a point near Castle Creek ranger station on the South fork. POSTMASTER SIMMONS. Charles Simmons, a former resident of Cottonwood, and ex- service man who was appointed postmaster of Grangeville by President Wilson, took charge of the office the 1st of July.

Mr. Gooding who is a farmer and stock raiser of southern Idaho, stated that the crops on the prairie looked especialy fine to him and that the country great- ly impressed him.

Idaho is to have another bur- eau and another set of federal officials to ferret out violators of the liquor laws. Latah county farmers expect Mr. Gooding is an active can-| trious and in every way worthy the wheat market to open around didate for the U. S. senate and he expressed the opinion and hopes that he would be nominat- ed and elected. He attributed his defeat in the last campaign for U. S. senator to influenza, which kept many voters from the poles in his home country, as Weil as the tremendous popul- arity of President Wilson at that time. COTTONWOOD DISBANDED. “Cottonwood has disbanded, forfeiting all remaining games. Contested games are counted for Nezperce, as final action has not yet been taken on them and Nez- perce as contesting team will withdraw contests.”—Nezperce Herald. We do not know from what source the Herald received its information but Cottonwood is still in the league, having played its regular schedule last Sunday with Winchester. We will give the best we have got, even though we lose all of the games. Nezperce will have to defeat Cottonwood on the diamond be- fore she is able to mark them up in the percentage column. Oh! boy it sure did take some of the baseball enthusiasm out of us to glanee over the Herald’s _ per- centage column, which read like this: Cottonwood, won 0, lost 14. GRANGEVILLE INVITES YOU Grangeville, most cordially in- vites every citizen of Idaho county to be a guest of that city and to help them fittingly cele- brate our national holiday at the county seat on July 4th, 5th and 6th.

The old wooden sidewalks on the street leadir~ to the depot and on Main street are no more having been torn out this week and will be replaced by concrete walks. The work of replacing the walks is being done by Wil- liam Ruhoff and William Book, each gentleman being awarded a portion of the work by the city council and working independen- tly of each other, the work how- ever being done at a uniform price. Grading for the side- walks below the hotel is now in progress, while on the street leading to the depot, the survey- ing is being done to-day. INDIAN CASE DISMISSED. The Indian Stick Game is not a game that violates the Idaho gambling law according to the state supreme court who upheld a decision rendered by Judge! Wallace N. Scales of the tenth judicial district. Charles Mocton, Ralph Arm- strong, Alex James and John Lawyer, Nezperce Indians, were arrested at Lapwai on a charge of the bride he has won. After the ceremony the young couple departed for Winchester where they visited at the home of the bride’s sister, arriving in Cottonwood Thursday and were the guests of honor at a dinner given at the Rehder country home. Mr. and Mrs. Rehder will make their home on the groom’s farm and the Chronicle wishes to join with their many friends in ex- tending to them the best their is in life FOR GRAVE CREEK ROAD. The Cottonwood Commercial Club at’ their regular meeting Monday went on _ record as hearty supporters of the road leading from Cottonwood to the Grave Creek ferry, to connect with a road now being built by the Joseph Highway district. 4‘ an adjourned meeting of the club held Monday evening, a com- mittee was appointed to go into the matter more thoroughly and to recommend what steps should be taken to speed up the con- struction of this highway. The Joseph people are very anxious to have this link completed. which will give them a fine road to Cottonwood, their natural trading center when their road now under construction is com- pleted. ROBERTSON RESIGNS RESIGNATION CAME AS A COMPLETE SURPRISE TO HIS MANY FRIENDS. George M. Robertson, cashier of the First National Bank since its organization in 1907 resigned his position yesterday and sever- ed his connection with that in- stitution after having seen it grow from a small bank to one of the strongest in the county. The board of directors of the bank have named W. W. Flint, a former employee, to fill the pos- ition made vacant by the resig- nation of Mr Robertson. Mr. Flint, the newly elected cashier, resigned his position about a year ago as assistant cashier on account of the health of his family, and removed them to San Diego, Cal., where they have received great benefits from the climatic conditions of that country. Mr. Flint expects to again remove his family to Cottonwood, but they will not join him until some time in the fall. Mr. Robertson, the retiring cashier has no definite plans for the future and expects to take a much needed rest after which he will look around for a new loca- tion. The change of management will effect no other positions in the bank, Ira Robertson and Mrs, J. V Nash remain with the in- stitution. While it is with sincere regret that we announce Mr Robert- son’s resignation, we wish him the best of success in any new undertaking and hope that his new plans may so develop that he will still continue to be a res- ident of Cottonwood. For Mr. Flint, we also wish him the best of success in his new position and heartly welcome his family back to our midst A picnic will be held by the Farm Bureau at the old Colum- bus crossing Saturday, Julv10th to which everyone is cordially in- $2.50 per bushel, according to ad- vices from Moscow. No contracts are reported as yet, but offers of $2.58 at coast terminals are said to have been rejected. | Senator William E. Borah, be- ginning Saturday his active par- ticipation in the Idaho political campaign, told more than a | thousand people who packed and | surrounded a large chautauqua |tent at Kuna, Idaho that the Wilson league of nations will “Europeanize America.” | A young son of Harry Deal, a farmer resiring about 20 miles east of Orofino, had his right hand badly lacerated with a dy- namite cap which he exploded by striking it with a hammer. Since June 1, approximately 660,000 eastern brook, rainbow and native fry have been distri- buted to the creeks and rivers in | this territory from the state fish hatchery, according to a report being made by Joseph Clark, in charge of the hatchery to Mr. Isaacs, of the state department. Wallace and other newspapers of the Coeur d’Alene district are giving much prominence to the fieht to occur at Wallace on July 5 between “Young” Ketchell and Sewell Deane and it is assured that the contest will be witness- ed by one of the largest crowds ever assembled for a ring contest in that section. Pat Perrine, the University of Idaho’s peerless all-around ‘athlete left Moscow Saturday for New York City to take part in the decathlon and pentathlon tryouts for the Olympic games. He is accompanied by Tom Mat- thews, retiring Idaho tract coach who has been putting him through intensive training on the Idaho athletic field during | the past month. | A young woman of Boise, a {native of Scotland, has _pro- | pounded an interesting question ;to one of the city registrars. |Through her marriage to an | American she became naturaliz- ed and has been voting ever since her marriage. She is now leg- ‘ally separated from her husband and wishes to know whether she has lost her vote with her hus- jband. The matter has been put up to Attorney General Black. | Lawrence, the two-year-old , son of Mr. and Mrs, Clyde Clovis of Craigmont, died at 4 o'clock | Tuesday afternoon from the ef- fects of swallowing some con- centrated lye on the previous Sunday afternoon. The child, | in his play about the house, came /upon an open can of lye which | had fallen from a shelf and got the fatal potion in his mouth and sucked it down his lungs before any one could interfere. Plans were perfected at a con- ference held in Boise Monday by representatives from the states ,of Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Montana for the formation of what will be known as the Northwestern Reclamation as- |sociation. The plans were out- lined by a delegation of Spokane | business men who appeared be- fore the conference. It is the purpose to meet the competition | that is likely to be offered from ‘an organization perfected in | southern states. The jewelry store of W. A. Austin of Kellogg was robbed | Wednesday night and $60 in leash and stock estimated at | about $1000 taken. | On June Ist Idaho had in sight |a total wheat crop of 23,184,000 | bushels, according to the report | inst issued by Julius H. Jacobson | of the Idaho crop reporting ser- vice at Boise. Winter wheat | contributed 7,227,000 bushels to | this total and the spring wheat | crop made up the remaining 15,- |907,700 bushels.
