_COTTONWOOD CHR VOLUME 28. NO. 46 PLANS FOR NEW GRADE UP WAHA SURVEY BEEN AUTHORIZED BY TWO DISTRICTS WAR- REN TO DO SURVEYING, As the result of joint action by the highway commissioners of the Waha-Tammany and Craigmont highway — districts says the Lewiston Tribune.a survey is now to te made for * new grade at Waha leading to Craig mountain. To make the survey the districts have engag- ed the services of Engineer A. J. Warren and he will place a crew at work the present week. Por- tions of the grade will be in both Craigmont and Waha-Tammany districts and this accounts for the cooperative plan adopted. It is proposed to have the sur- vey provide for a grade that will, measure wp to the hirhest stan- dards and estimate is made it will be about nine miles long. Engineer Warren made the sur- vey for the Johnson railroad and is especially well qualified, due to his specific knowledge of the Craig mountain district, to se- cure the best possible results. The public generally will wel- come the development, for the Waha route to Craig mountain and the prairie is one of much popularit With the modern grade provided, there is no ques- tion that the route will attract a larger volume of travel. Sucha grade as planned will also un- doubtedly open up to Lewiston and Clarkston the large woed market of Craig mountain. The commissioners of the Wa- ha-Tammany district are George Wallace, Patrick Madden and The Craigmont Lem Kemp, ‘ved Brown, Lafe Mounce. commissioners ar James Madden and F Two of the best known young people in this community were united in the holy bond of matri- mony in Great Falls Monday, October 25th, when Mr. William, R.

WHEAT GROWERS TO SELL BONDS PLAN $500,000 ISSUE BASED ON WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS FOR 500,000 BUSHELS. | A half million dollars’ worth of wheat gold bonds, security tor which will be warehouse re- ceipts for wheat, will be placed on the market by the joint ac- tion of the Washington and Ida- ho directors of the wheat grow- ers’ association, it was announc- ed at Spokane Monday. The wheat gold bonds will he in denominations of $250, $500 and $1000 and will bear interest at the rate of 8 per cent, matur- ing June 1, 1921. The associa- tion reserves the right to redeem any part of the bonds at any time after 30 days at the face value with accrued interest and a bonus of one-half of 1 per cent for each month of the unexpire:! time. As security for the bonds warehouse receipts for 500,000 bushels of wheat, or one bushel of wheat for each dollar invest- ed in the bonds, will be deposited with a trustee. The wheat will be covered by insurance against fire loss. After certification by the trustee the bonds will be placed on sale and funds obtain- ed will be apportioned among members of the association in accordance with their wheat stored. “The bonds will be sold strict- ly as a good business investment for the purchaser,” said George C. Jewett, general manager of the Washington and _ Idaho Wheat Growers’ association. “Of course it is an opportunity for the investor without risking his own money to help the wheat industry of the state and the farmers. We have made these bonds so attractive that they should appeal to the purchaser. We aren't placing any limit on the purchase of the bonds. “The wheat which secures the bonds will be ample, since it will be well insured and with suffici- ent surplus to cover any possible drop in price. As we market the wheat the bonds will be tak- en up with a good bonus to the purchaser if prior to maturity. Thus any bonds redeemed at the end of the 30-day period would bear interest at the rate of 1114 per cent per annum.” A large number of farmers in this section are members of the Idaho Wheat Growers’ associa- tion and the above item will be of great interest to them. ENTERTAINED FRIENDS. Mr, and Mrs. Barney Luchte- feld entertained a number of Cottonwood friends at their home in the Keuterville section Sunday. The day was spent in pleasant conversations and end- ed with a sumptuous feast in the evening to which all the guests did ample justice, and clearly showed that the victuals were , prepared in the most delicious’ manner. The guests present were: Dr. and Mrs. W. F. Orr and family, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Hussman and family, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Agnew and family, Mr and Mrs. Dominic Duclos and family and Mr. and Mrs. Geo.| Medved. | COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER +12, 1920 RONICLE — $2.00 PER YEAR | NEW BANK OPENS. | The Glearwater Valley State § AROUND Bank will begin its operations as a financial institution of Kamiah | Saturday.

MB. SPEDDEN FINISHED SURVEY THURSDAY Engineer Spedden and party finished their prele ry sur- vey of the Grave ek road Thursday and secured a fine grade with construction from the Triplett place down in- to the canyon of Grave creek, which no doubt will be welcome news for people across the river. Some years ago, at the time the state and county appropriated $3000.00 for the d down the creek, a survey Wi ade to get the distance and to ¢ general idea of the practicability of making a road there but no grades were taken was a survey made creek to the top of from the the hills. The present survey was started | in Rocky Canyon at the mouth | of Grave creek, thence up the creek along the route of the pre- sent road to point where the trail or cut-off leaves the creek upthrough the John Hanley place, topping out at the former Baune ranch now owned by Jim Triplett. The distance the mouth of Grave creek was found to be a little ove three and three quarter miles, and from the creek to the top of the hill near Tripletts house little over one and one-half miles That part of the road down th: creek would have the grades and in some places cor siderable difficulty might be ex-| perienced to keep it down to 5) per cent but from the creek up| no trouble whatever was experi-| enced to get out on a five per- cent grade along a route \ construction will be comp tively easy no solid rock bluf having been encountered and neither are the slopes of the hill so steep that a very deep cut would be necessary to secure width for a road bed. The Keut- ervil'e Highway commissioners, Mr. Luchtefeld and Mr. Jungert | W. B. Hussman |} and John Peterson made an in-| spection of the route after the’ accompanied by survey had been completed and all agreed that the route was a practical one and the best ob- tainable. Mr. Spedden «xnressed him- self as firmly convinced that the water coming down the creek in| of year would not’ and neither! from} to} where this trail leaves the creek | heaviest | wash away the road bed if con- structed along the route survey- ed. lt would he wecessary to he course of the creek in sever: ces but with the amount of fall in the creek this would be an easy matter. As surveyed but seven bridges would be required and two of these might be eleminated at but a trifle greater cost than that of building the bridges. The Highway commissioners of the Keuterville and Fenn Highway districts went to Grangeville today to confer with the county commissioners to agree upon some plans for joint financing of the cost of construc- tion work. Appeal will also be made to the legislature to assist as the project is too big for the county and the highway districts to handle. We venture to say there isn’t auother project in the entire state worthier of state aid han this particular road which } change t | would open up a big counry the state lands themselves to be dir- ectly benifited thereby amount- ing to nearly fifty thousand 1Cres.

DRILL FOR OIL IN TEXAS | INCORPORATORS HAVE SUB) SCRIBED STOCK IN SUM OF $112,000. Friday Attorney Fred E. But- ler filed at the office of the coun- ty auditor of Nez Perce county, articles of incorporation of the ‘Yexas and Northwestern Oil company, which will have its headquarters at Lewiston, the incorporators being well-known Lewiston, Idaho county and Spokane citizens, says the Lew- iston Tribune. The company will develop new ground in the Breckenridge district in Texas, | jadjoining property in which some of the incorporators are in-| terested and on which a 1000- barrel well is now flowing. The capital stock of the new company embraces 15,000 shares of the par value of $100 each and the incorporators subscribed for a gross sum of $112,000 of this stock. The incorporators of re- cord and the number of shares suberibed by each are: C. W. Brockman, of Cotton- wood, $30,000; Charles J. Hall, of Lewiston, $10,000; Frank E. Wyatt, of Lewiston ,$6,000; A. O Martin, of Lewiston, $5,000; M. J. MeMurray, of Ferdinand, 5,000; R. P. Parshall, of Spok- ane, $5,000; R. H. Russell, of Spokane, $5,000; J. W.

Sweet, of Grangeville, $5,- 000; Oswald Pederson, of Lewis- | ton, $1,000: M. A. Means, of Lewiston, $2,500. TO MEET JANUARY 4. Just how much of a majority the republican party will have in both houses of the Idaho legis- lature as a result of last Tues- day’s general election is problem- atical at the present time. That) there will be solid working maj-! orities of republicans in senate and house of- representatives was assured by returns from 34 counties. These showed only four democrats elected to the senate and three to the house, all the other successful candi- dates being republicans. Should all the counties . out- standing return democrats or in- dependents, the republicans still would have a majority of 16 in the senate and a somewhat larg- er majority in the house. The legislature meets for the first time January 4, 1921. TO THE PUBLIC. Iam _ taking this means of thanking the voters of Idaho county and my many friends for the loya] support given me in the recent campaign, especially in view of the overwhelming land slide on the opposite ticket.

A loss of 10 per cent in the tato crop is estimated as thems. a of last week’s storm in the | Rupert section. In regard to | hay, it is thought that the loss will not be more than 6 per cent. Figures compiled by the rural department of Lewiston normal school show that there are 1489 schools in Idaho which 1274 have | been classified as to town or rur- al. Of this number 1068, or 83 per cent are rural schools. Sportsmen of Gem county have filed a petition with the state game warden asking that the season on pheasants be cut down to two weeks instead of the full month. They ask that this be done to prevent the game from being annihilated. William J. Hall, commissioner of public works, Saturday denied charges of alleged graft on the h highway made during the campaign. He de- clared that the facts were a mat- ter of public record in the office of the department of public | works, One of the interesting issues that will go before the next leg- islature is the question of the re- moval of the county seat of Boise county from Idaho City to Horseshoe Bend. If this is done practically the oldest city in the _ will virtually be abandon- ed. Idaho county has 1667 farms. This is revealed by the 1920 cen- sus reports Idaho county in 1910 contained 1684 farms, or seventeen more than in 1920, Some farms were included in that section of Idaho county which was annexed to Valley county since 1910. A new record for land prices was established at Moscow by the sale of a small farm near that city for $400 an acre. R.C. West sold 30 acres, just south of the city limits, to A, E. Meinig of Palouse, Wash., for $12,000. The place is well improved, with good buildings, and has 14 acres of alfalfa, which yielded $90 an acre in 1919 and more than $100 an acre this year. Howard Shriver, a farmer near Moscow, Idaho, has sold 145 spring lambs at $975. The in- teresting feature of the transac- tion is that Shriver claims the amount received in payment is | practically velvet as the lambs lived on the summer fallow and kept the weeds down. The in- stance is quoted in support of the argument that every farmer | should run a few sheep. “The Big Baked Potato” is to make its bow again on Northern Pacific dining cars.
