After organizing the following names were submitted as can- didates, W. B. Hussman, S. J. Peterson, and Frank Simon each receiving 10 votes, andon the; second vote W. B. Hussman and Frank Simon received the high- est number of votes, which en- titled them to be placed on the ticket with the first three high- est, to complete the ticket, that consists of five names.

According to the new law, governing city elections other candidates may be placed in the field by petition, which must contain the names of 19 qualified electors and must be filed not more than 30 days and not less than 12 days before the election. A nominee may resign within ten days before the election. If a convention nominee resigns the executive committee of the con vention has the power to make the substitute nomination. While the position of city councilmen is a job most people try to evade, nevertheless some-| one must serve. According to steet rumors most people are ex- ceptionally well peased with the nominees and it is very probable that they will have no opposi- tion, at least judging from pre- sent indications. ee) 18 10 10 4 11 6 9 9 -14 PAINFULLY HURT.

Martin, who for the past two years has been owner and editor of the Craigmont Register located at Craigmont, Idaho, last week disposed of his interest in the paper to S. J. Linder, post master and a Teading citizen of Craigmont. During Mr. newspaper career in Craigmont he has accomplished much for the community he lived in, hav- ing been a great factor in unit- ing the old towns Vollmer and Ilo and also in establishing one post office, located midway be- tween Ilo and Vollmer, much to the satisfaction of all concerned. From a newspaper standpoint, Mr. Martin, since assuming the head of the newspaper, has made the Register one of the best papers published in Northern Idaho. As to the new editor and pro- prietor, S. J. Linder, who takes over the paper this week we wish him the best of success. 5 Martin, the retiring editor has not definitely decided as to where he will locate in the fu- ture, 4 TEAMS REPRESENTED. Only four baseball clubs were represented at the Prairie Base- ball League meeting held in Grangeville Saturday evening. The teams represented being Kooskia, by Dale Clark; Craig- mont, by G. 0. MeMinim Grangeville, Walter McAdams; Cottonwood, by N. A. Litherland and George Lange. Kamiah, three | Nezperce, Winchester, and Ferd- inand, members of last years’ league failed to have any repre- sentatives present. The question of outside play ers was discussed for some time and those present all expressed opinions in favor of home boys. The great question, however, was how to make the various towns live up to this agreement, and what constituted a home| player. Another meeting is cal- led for Saturday, April 16 at which time final action will be taken on matters pertaining to the organization of the Prairie League. TWO SUICIDES Nezperce, April 9.—(Special to the Lewiston Tribune.) —The sheriff's office today received notice of the suicide of Mrs. Thomas Stevens and her daugh- ranch about five miles east of Forest. The message was re- ceived about 5 o'clock this after Gist was sent to the scene to hold an inquest. The two had taken strychnine and were discovered dead in the house by the husband of Mrs. Hasley. As near as can be learn- ed here, no motive is assigned for the suicide, though the younger woman had spent some time in the sanitarium at Oro- fino, from which place she re- turned about six weeks ago. They are said to have left a note in which they announced their intention of taking their lives. The elder woman is about 50 years old and the daughter about 26. Both leave families.

A BETTER FERDINAND. Fires are bound to come to every wooden-shack town sooner or later, and though at the time it occurs it always works hard- ship on one or more persons, ow- ing to loss of property, it is a ‘boon to any village when the wooden building age is passed and substantial buildings are constructed. So it will be with Ferdinand. It is expected that before fall this town will be a bigger and better town, and by far a safer place for property, when the con- | templated buildings shall have become a reality. There is need | for a brisk little village here, as a trading point, and whatever | we make the town that will it be. |We can make it a_ leader, or follow the procession. To lie dormant, and let George do it, will drive trade to neighboring villages, but if we getin and drill, we are going to draw our fullquota of trade, and also much from adjoining territory. Which |shall it be?—Ferdinand Enter- prise. TO ISSUE PHAMPLET. The Cottonwood Commercial Club, at a luncheon held in the Cottonwood Hotel last week ap- pointed a committee to arrange for the printing and distribu- tion of phamphlets containing advertising matters pertaining to the advantage and resources of Cottonwood and surrounding community. The committee ap pointed by M. M. Belknap, chair- man of the club consists of the following: W. B. Hussman, W. W. Flint and H. C. Netzel. | BASE BALL DANCE, | A dance will be given at the ,Orpheum Theatre, Wednesday | the baseball boys. Good music The | J. A.

Strananhan, who has | maintained for years one of the finest orchards in the valley of North Lewiston, reported that | the cold-snap of last Wednesday | caused a loss of 75 per cent of the buds of the sweet cherry |trees, embracing the Bings, | Royal Anns and Tartarians. | Floyd Decker, the twelve year | old boy who left his home Mon- |day at Grangeville and headed }toward the mountains imbued | with wanderlust, was found about twelve miles from his {home in the Clearwater river region, by Jess McComas, as he |was heard walking across a | bridge. A daring escape took place between 5 and 6 o'clock Friday jevening when C. W. Williams between 55 and 60, being taken from Great Falls, Mont., to Spokane in charge of Deputy Sheriff F. L. Bradeen of Spok- | ane, gave the officer the slip and jumped from Northern Pacific |train No. 3 east of Clarksfork, Idaho. The Idaho industrial accident board placed the maximum com- pensation for the loss of the sense of smell at $480 in a case | which was closed by the board Friday. This is the first in- | stance on record where the sense |of smell was involved and the | board was guided by a California decision in a similar case, there being no Idaho law to cover. Work has been resumed on the new St. Joseph hospital at Lewis ton, though but to a limited ex- tent. For the past few days a small crew of men have been busy plastering the rooms, but when that portion of the work | is finished*there will be nothing further done for the present. Lack of funds is given as the reason for not completing’ the hospital at once. About a thousand dollars worth of morphine and cocaine was found ina suit case in a Great Northern boxcar (estimat- ed by Spokane papers as $20,000 worth) at an early hour Tuesday | at Sandpoint when Special Agent | Holz of the Great Northern and Sheriff Kirkpatrick of Bonner, pounced down on a fellow riding in a boxcar and who was suspect- ed of having contraband booze in his suitcase. The Triangle Construction company resumed work on the North and South highway west of Craigmont Monday. They ex- pect to finish grade work on this contract within the next 80 days. The company is now moving two rock crushers to their site on Cold Springs canyon and expect to begin laying macadam ina short time. Their steam roller will arrive from Spokane ina few days. The result of the Nez Perce County Sunday School associa- tion’s recent Sunday school cau- cus is announced as_ follows: Catholic schools, 234, Methodist Episcopal, 172; Christian, 124; Presbyterian, 128; Baptist, 114; Congregational, 101; Lewiston Orchards community, 60; Episco pal, 66; Christian Science, 88; Adventist, 25; East End mis- sion, 20; Salvation Army, 16; Lutheran, 18.
