Representative Lloyd Fenn, of Kooskia, introduced a bill in the legislature at Boise Saturday asking for an appropriation of $25,000 for a wagon road throurh the Fenn and Keuter- ville Highway districts. This yoad for which the appropriation is asked is known in this locality as the Grave Creek road. That according to the last Cottonwood Chronicle, we owe M. M. Belknap of that village an apology. No doubt, the fellow who furnished us the informa- ion. about “Cottonwood being frightened” was the scared cuss.

The auction sale of pure-bred Poland-China hogs conducted Monday at the grounds of the Northwest Livestock show was a big success from the standpoint of distributing the best breeding stock of the northwest amongst the farmers of the many localit- ies represented. The top price paid was $150 and the average for the first ten sold was better than $100. The weather was unfavorable and the condition of the roads in many of the tributary sections prevented the attendance of many bidders who had indicated an intention of attending. Tel- egraph and mail bids were receiv ed and as a result of this sale two of the top hogs will go into Montana, one to Sunnyside, Wash., and another to southern Idaho. Asotin county, Latah county, Whitman county, Wash., and Nez Perce county bought the larger percent of the offer- ings. 4 This sale was conducted by Howard McKinley and John Funke of Cottonwood, and these men brought to the Lewiston sale astrain of Poland-China hogs that are equal to any to be found in the northwest. This is the second annual sale conducted by Messrs. McKinley & Funke it is their purpose to con- tinue their policy of annual sales and they hope to hold these sales in Lewiston. The class of stuff offered at the sale Monday was explained to those in attendance by A. L. Wilson of Nampa, Idaho. Mr. Wilson is one of the oldest Pol- and-China breeders in the west and his thorough knowledge of the breed was of much value to the bidders. The prices received for the 40 head offered was not as high as breeders have been receiving in past years when money was easy but considering the general fin- ancial condition of the country, Messrs. McKinley and Funke were well satisfied with the re- sults and the class of stuff sold will be reflected in profitable re- turns from the farms in the com- ing years. The stock show grounds offer splendid facilities for sales of this character and the show association is anxious to encourage the holding of these sales in Lewiston. The sale brought to Lewiston a number of people from the out- sile country and the gathering | offered a splendid opportunity for a conference on plans for the 1921 show and the future sales of registered stock. The sale was conducted by Harry C. Cranke and the clerk of | the sale was R. R. Groninger of | Clarkston.—Lewiston Tribune.

Jenny, Mr. and Mrs. John Hoene and Mr. and Mrs, Paul Schurman enter- tained about 50 friends at the Jenny country home near Cot- tonwood Monday evening, the chief entertainment of the even- ing being cards, dancing and music.

Pierce, second the consolation going to Mrs. A. B. Ruhoff. At the midnight hour a splendid luncheon was served, after which music and dancing was the chief amusement. Some of the guests, well we know of what we say, did not arrive home until the wee hours of the morn- ing. DEATH OF MRS, REED. Mrs. Frank Reed died at her home in Kamiah Tuesday after- noon, the end coming as the re- sult of appendicitis. While Mrs. Reed has not been in good health for some time, her condi- tion was not considered serious and her sudden death is a shock to friends. As a girl, Mrs. Reed resided in Cottonwood and Lewiston, where she received her schooling, and upon being united in marriage with Mr. Reed they were located at Grangeville, later at Lewiston and several years ago moved to Kamiah where Mr. Reed en- gaged in the merchandising lines Mrs. Reed is survived at Lewis- ton by brothers, Art and Law- rence Millar, both who served in the late war.

F hall Friday evening by Cot-! tonwood Post No. 40 of the American Legion was a success from every standpoint. The attendance was the largest that has attended a similar event in Cottonwood in many days, the! music furnished by the Winches- ter orchestra, was of a high ord-| er and the crowd was a good) natured one. A cabaret scene in France put on by members of | the American Legion proved to be a big hit. Salvation army girls sold doughnuts and coffee) during the evening to the hun- gry dancers for 25c each. The proceeds of the dance amounted to approximately $150. The! American Legion boys take this means of thanking the public! for their generous support. The money realized from the dance} will put the Cottonwood Post in| splendid financial condition. STITES BANK CLOSED. The Bank of Stites, located at} Stites, Idaho, was closed last| Thursday owing to depleted cash | reserves and inability to immedi-| ately realize on its paper.
