VOLUME 29. NO. 17 DIGEST OF NEW TOBACCO LAW PENALTY FOR VIOLATING NEW TOBACCO LAW IS VERY SEVERE The Department of Law En- forcement, Bureau of License, of the State of Idaho, with head- quarters at Boise has sent out to all newspapers throughout the state excerpts concerning the new tobacco law which goes into effect the 5th of May. The law is a very strict one, and if it is enforced will make it almost im- possible for minors to get tobac co in any form. Following are some of the main features governing the new | tobacco law: Every person or firm handling tobacco in any form, in the State of Idaho, must have a license. The penalty for operating with- out a license is a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $300 or jail, not exceeding six months, or both. The license must be conspicu- ously displayed in place of bus- iness where tobacco is sold. If you have more than one store! you must have a separate license for each store. All licenses expire on Decem- ber 31st, the year of issue. The license fee is $50, and a bond of $500, whether a whole year or a part thereof, but for the balance of 1921 the fee of $30 is required and bond of $500. A license can be transferred by returning the original license to the Department and the filing of a new application and a new bond by the transferee. The penalty for violating the laws pertaining to the sale of tobacco cigarettes to minors is a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $100 for the first of- fense and not less than $100 nor more than $300, and by imprison ment in the County jail for a period of not to exceed six months, and the forfeiture of your $500 bond on conviction. If your license is once forfeit- ed you cannot secure another license for five years from date of forfeiture. A minor cannot have tobacco in any form in his possession. It is a violation of Chapter 262 to allow a minor to smoke or use tobacco on your premises. DOUBLE IRISH QUOTA. The soliciting of funds for relief in Iveland, which began March 17th was completed April 15th with very gratifying re- sults. Idaho countie’s quota was approximately $300.00. But thanks to the generosity met with on every hand, by the com- mittee of the different districts in the county, more than double that amount was handed in to the State Chairman D. A. Calla- han of Wallace, Idaho, for remit- tance to the National Treasurer John J. Pulleyn, New York City. County Chairman Agnew, of Cottonwood, in behalf of the national movement, and our Ida- ho county committees, wishes to express deep and sincere thanks for the handsome results obtain- ed, and even more for the friend- ly feeling shown towards the cause. After all the Irish nation are only asking an even break and fair play. The amount remit- ted was $689.25. Contributed from the districts as follows: Woodside Westlake Ferdinand Keuterville Green Creek Grangeville Cottonwood White Bird $ 32.00 30.00 33.00 10.00 32.00 206.25 296.00 50.00 $689.25 BALL TEAM WINS. The dance given at the Or- pheum Theatre Wednesday even- ing for the benefit of the Cotton- wood ball team netted the boys approximately $40. Considering the roads and rainy weather the, turn out was very good. | WORK IS RESUMED. The Cottonwood Water Co.,! on Monday of this week resumed | work replacing some of the main | water pipes on King steet, be-| tween the Goldstone and Orr, corner. A 2-inch main has been temporarly laid down to supply, the north part of the city with! water while the mains are being replaced with new pipes. The! | work has been somewhat delay- ed on account of the rain. A little difficulty was also experi- enced Tuesday when the main) line was attached to the 2-inch pipe and the water turned on the, volume of water and pressure be- ing so great as to unjoint the first link of the main attached to the 2-inch pipe. RESUME WORK ON CONVENT PLENTY OF MATERIAL ON HAND TO INSURE NO LOST TIME. ! The few nice balmy days which made their appearance the first part of April had made | every one believe that spring really was with us, and had part- icularly awakened the expecta- tions of all those interested in| the erection of the New St. Gertrude’s. — First to arrive on the grounds was the highly ef-) ficient architect and superintend ant of the works, Engelbert Gier, of Mount Angel, Oregon. accom- panied by his son, Leo Gier, and aecrew of men to operate the stone quarry. Within a few days, more good mechanics, among them several stand-bys of last year, were also on hand; and the work was at once resumed under the leadership of the com- petient well-known foreman, C. C. White, of Spokane. A hearty welcome was extended to all these gentlemen. A thorough inspection of the works brought out the fact that not one single detail of the build- ing had suffered in any way from the snow, frost, rain, ete., a proof that the task of covering the walls and protecting the works had been quite well at- tended to last fall. | The progress of the construc- tion was somewhat hampered last year by the shortness of help and the lack of readiness of stones, but this is now practic- ally overcome. From actual prospects there should be no dif- ficulty to adding to the force of builders, as the needs may de- velop; and as_ to stone question much good work has been done in the quarry during the winter by the willing hands of the Con- vent’s sturdy _ hired - men; through their efforts a large amount of good stone has been uncovered ready for quarrying and hauling. Until now, blue porphyry stone has been used exclusively in the building, but another quarry of gool substan- tial Basalt rock having been opened, east of the convent on the property, much of it will be utilized since it is a rock of fine quality and easily dressed. As soon as the road will allow heavy hauling there will be no lack of good stones on the premises. There is on the grounds a large amount of sand. Lumber and other needed materials have been ordered and will be on hand in due time. The large window frames of the chapel have been put in place and soon will be in- closed by the intervening walls. The walls of the basement and the first story of the convent proper are completed and the rough floors laid. A sixty foot elevator will be in operation in a few days, by means of which the stones, materials, ete., will be hoisted for the erection of the upper stories of the convent which it is the intention to com- plete in summer. This will mark the first stage of the erec- tion of what is expected to be a lasting and imposing monument towering over the fertile Camas Prairie. Then the chapel will be completed and its roof laid, it is hoped, in early fall. As every one knows by this i eres rather blustery and has caused little disappcintment here and there; but there is comfort in the thought that soaking rains and heavy roads bring a smile to the tillers of the soil. We also rejoice at the good fortune of the latter in their hopes of a plentiful harvest; nevertheless we hope that a steady cheering sunshine will soon be with us and facilitate the carrying out of the well laid plans of both arch- itect and director of the works as well as their associates for the final completion of the New St. Gertrude’s.

John Klinger, a stranger ap- parently about 65 years of age, committed suicide at Bonners Ferry Saturday afternoon when he lay down on one of the pass- ing tracks of the Great Northern with his neck resting on the rail, and permitted an _ outgoing freight train to decapitate him. He had about $40 in currency and silver and a pass book on a Vancouver, Wash., bank in the name of John Langworth. The Kettenbach company, F. W. Kettenbach and W. F. Ket- tenbach, have sold to the Clear- water timber company 16,000 acres of timber land in the Clear- water district.

As the result of burns sustain- ed last Friday at the roundhouse in East Lewiston, when his jum- per coat and gloves caught fire when he lighted his torch in the firebox of his engine, Jefferson Cornett, one of the best-known railroad engineers of the inland empire, died at 12:30 o'clock Saturday noon at the St. Joseph hospital. The jumper and gloves had been washed in gasoline and this was the cause of the acci- dent. Fellow employes of the railroad company hurried the suffering man to the hospital _ and for a period it was thought he would recover. The Idaho supreme court has affirmed the decision of District Judge Wallace N. Scales uphold- ing the validity of the Nezperce county bond issue of $400,000 which was authorized in 1919, for the construction of highways and bridges in that county. The case was submitted to the higher court on briefs several weeks ago. The princi- pal contention raised against the validity of the issue was that in- stead of the notices of election specifying the particular voting place in some precincts, the term was used “usual voting place,” that in some precincts notices were not posted within the time | required and in some | no notices were posted.
