Two young men, apparently in their teens, traveling through this section of the country, via the foot route Wednesday morn- ing, displayed more nerve than it would take to run a Ford with- out gasoline. These boys in one instance were hidden by the road side and when a certain car from Cottonwod came along near Keu- terville jumped to the road and without warning, or the car stop- ping swung themselves into the back seat which was empty, speaking not one word to the oc- cupants, either on entering or leaving the car, after having been hauled for several miles to! town. On Wednesday afternoon they were headed towards Grangeville when they hailed a ‘Ford car piled in their luggage and said nothing to the owner. Owners of both cars were kind hearted enough to haul the un- welcomed guests to their destina tions but were of the opinion that the trip was at least worth a “thanks” which hey failed to get. Some day these boys, if they continue their practice will find themselves measured out length wise on the public high- way. Ruth DIES IN MONTANA. Word has just been received by Mrs. George Baker, of Salmon River, of the death of her sister, Mrs. Estella Tefft Hintt, of Miles City, Montana, death bei- ing caused by cancer. Mrs. Hintt leaves to mourn her loss her hus- band, A. J. Hintt and four child- ren, Mrs. Glen Maxwell, age 18 years ; Donald, 11 years; Januita, 7 years and Charlotte, 3 yéars. Her father H. W. Tefft, of Elgin, Illinois, and mother Mrs. L. J. Tefft, of Cottonwood. Two bro-| thers and three sisters. Bert Tefft, of Grangeville, Roy Tefft, Mrs. Lulu Unzicker, and Mrs. Mabe! Baker of Cottonwood, and Mrs. Bertha Drube, of Montana, and a host of friends. Mrs. Baker visited with her sister three weeks in April. MARRIED AT LEWISTON. Bertha McKinley, of this city, was married at Lewiston Satur- day, to Virgil Frady a young business man of Lewiston. The ceremony was performed by Probate Judge Woelflen, of Nez- Perce county. The wedding was a great surprise to the many friends of Mrs. Frady in this city and surrounding community. The newly married couple arriv- ed in Cottonwood Sunday even-, ing and Tuesday morning return ed to Lewiston where they will make their future home. The Chronicle wishes to be numbered with their many friends in wish- ing them happiness and success throughout their married life. WILL PLAY TWO NIGHTS. The Keuterville school will give a program in the Keuter- ville opera house on Tuesday evening, May 3lst and Wednes- day evening June Ist. On ac- count of the small hall and to ac- comodate the large crowd ex- pected the play will be given on two different nights. The public | is cordially invited.

On May 24th, last year, the city let a contract to the Spokane Asphalt Paving Co., of Spokane, for the pavement of the Main streets in Cottonwood, on condi- tion that the bonds which they offered in payment for the work could be sold. At that time money conditions were very tight and the company was un- able to sell the bonds, the result of which caused the work to be postponed indefinitely and since that time our streets and roads leading into the city have been cussed and discussed many times Realizing that something must be done to the streets and roads GRANGEVILLE FLOOD VICTIM GLANVILLE DROWNED IN BASEMENT—DAM.- AGE $10,500. i Much has been said and print- | ed by outside papers regarding the details and etc., connected with the cloudburst which struck Grangeville Saturday afternoon, some of which, through lack of information grossly misrepre- sented the sad affair. In order to give our readers an accurate | and true story of the flood we are republishing the article ap- pearing in the Grangeville Free Press which arrived in the city this morning. It reads as fol- lows: Work of reconstruction of the flood-stricken area of the bus- iness section of Grangeville, fol- lowing Saturday’s cloudburs which left death and devastation | in its wake, is rapidly going for- ward. Grangeville is quickly recovering from the deluge, which caused at least $10,500 damage to buildings and stocks of merchandise. Perey M. Gianvilie, druggist, and for more than twenty years | a resident of Grangeville, lost his life in the deluge which swept down Dry creek, and brought water which covered Main street between Hall and State streets, to adepth of two feet. Mr. Glanville was trapped by rapidly rising water in the basement of | his drug store, into which he had gone to remove goods threaten- ed by the flood. Water Pours From Sky While the city was drenched by a heavy rain, at 2:45 Satur- iay afternoon, a cloudburst oc-| curred near the Harry Wood anch, a mile south of town.

Something must be done to the streets, and as this appears to be the only solution it is hoped that the bond issue will carry by a large majority.

That 30 per cent of the 1920 wheat crop of Latah county is still held by farmers is the esti- mate of grain men who have been making a survey. Eleven University of Idaho seniors in the college of law are preparing to take the Idaho bar | examinations to be held at Lew- iston during the regular session of the federal court beginning June 2. ; Births in Idaho during April exceeded deaths by 545, accord- ing to a report issued by the state medical advisor. The total number of births was 911, while deaths aggregated 866. Of the 911 births, 4683 were girls, 446 boys, and two were not stated. Seven pairs of twins are included in the totals. Culdesac is to have a three day program of wild west stunts that will introduce some of the most noted cowboys of the west, in- cluding Jackson Sundown known throughout the United States. The dates selected for the pro- gram are June 2,3 and4, The prizes to be given will total $1,500. There will be an Indian war dance every night, while also a ball open to the general public. There will be about a 50 per cent cut in the acerage planted to corn in the Culdesac-Lapwai sections this year over former years. While perhaps the acre- age in these two sections, which adjoin, is normally 3000 acres, it will not be much more than 1500 acres this year. This is because farmers went out of the hog business when grain was too high a price to be ted to hogs at a profit. But farmers are now stocking up again with hogs as fast as their means will allow. By a vote of four to one, the supreme court Saturday recogni- zed the right of the 1921 session of the legislature to authorize | the employment of a fiscal agent to procure a bidder for the Idaho state highway bonds, fourth issue, in the amount of $2,000,- 000, and also gave its approval to the act of the 1919 session of the legislature, which submitted to the vote of the people, at the last November elecion, the ques- tion of whether or not the bonds should be sold in spite of the fact that the state had reached the limit of its indebtedness. Justice Robert N. Dunn was the author of the opinion. United States government “slacker lists” for several Idaho counties have been received at the office of the state headquar- ters of the American Legion, it was announced Wednesday by Lester F. Albert, state adjutant. As soon as the list is complete |for every county steps will be taken by the legion to publish the names. Before the names of men accused of evading the draft are published broadcast, however, it is the purpose of the American Legion to make a cofn- plete check of each man listed. New potatoes being offered to Idaho consumers have been plac- ed under ban by the state depart- ment of agriculture if they are from California, Texas or Flor- ida or have been reshipped into Idaho from Oregon, Washington Montana, Utah and Colorada points.
