” VOLUME 29. NO. 26 MEN CLASSED AS DESERTERS LIST GIVEN OUT BY NINTH sey CORPS AT SAN FRANCISCO, (Free Press) Names of nine men appear on the Idaho county slacker list, as issued from headquarters of the Ninth U.S. army corps, San Francisco, under date of May’23. The men were registrants in Ida- ho county for military service under the selective service act, during the world war, and failed to report when called by the local draft board for service, accord- ing to the interpretation placed on the announcement from head- quarters of the Ninth Army corps. A portion of the state- ment, which prefaces the list, reads as follows: “The men whose names appear below, and who were under the jurisdiction of the local draft hoard named, were, according to the public draft records, classi- fied and reported by the draft authorities as deserters from the military service of the United States.” Here is the list for Idaho county, as issued from San Fran- cisco, 357 Casper Anderson 261 J.

August Maugg, a broth- er of the bride acted as best man and Miss Caroline Terhaar, a sister of the groom acted as bridesmaid. After the wedding the newly married couple, in company with a few relatives partook of a wedding breakfast! at the home of the bride’s par- ents and departed on the morn- ing train for their new home at Walla Walla, Wash., where the groom has been employed for some time in one of the leading garages of that city.

Cottonwood’s chautauqua, un- der the Ellison-White system, has been in progress all week and is being attended by large crowds, both in the afternoon and evening and the programs given have been far above the average and appear to be greatly enjoyed. The chautauqua will close its session in Cottonwood Saturday evening. A number of business men met Thursday afternoon for the purpose of dis- cussing the advisibility of sign- ing a contract for next year. At this meeting it was decided to hold the date open, and later on call another meeting at which time the matter will be more thoroughly discussed. From a financial standpoint the loeal committee who signed the con- tract last year will be obliged to make up a small deficiency. Most of those signing+the con- tract last year are willinng to again sign the contract for the return of the chautauqua next year. ROAD WORK PROGRESSING. The work of hard surfacing the road leteewn the slaughter house and the Schneider corner has made very satisfactory pro- gresss the past week, approxi- mately a quarter of a mile of the highway having been finished the past week. The crew at the rock pit in Cottonwood has done exceptionally good work, the crusher having been kept in al- most continuous motion, with very few stops. They are turning out about 70 yards of crushed rock every nine hours which is said to be very satisfactory by those in charge of the work. The work of hauling the crush- ed rock and teams to the road is !eing donated by the farmers. All of the work is under the direct supervision of William Ruhoff. PLANT TROUT. Joe Eller, received 15,000 trout at Ferdinand the first of the week from Deputy Game Warden Fisher which he took to Lawyers canyon and _ planted them in the creek. The young fries were taken to the canyon in cream eans, 6 in all, each can containing 2500 trout and were transported in an antomobile. This is only a small portion of the fish planted in Idaho county streams, Deputy Fisher having received 100,000 from the Sand- point hatchery, the larger num- ber which were placed in tribu- taries of the Salmon river, al- though some plantings will be made in the South Fork of the Clearwater. These streams have been the attraction for so many sportsmen the past two years that they have been fished out. BIDS WANTED. Up to July 1st written bids will be received for hauling lum- , ber from the Pedersen saw mill near Westlake, 100,000 feet more or less, to each of the following places: Craigmont, Ferdinand and Cottonwood.

The prefix “Jack” was assumed by} the big fellow when he had grown to man’s estate, and had chosen the fistic ring for a live- lihood. As a fighter he had the idea and a good one, that by as- suming the Christian name of “Jack” some of the blamor if not the wonderful boxing science which the original Jack Demp- sey, Brooklyn’s famous ‘Non- pariel,” possessed as the middle- weight title holder might revert to him.
