The third and last bid submitted | was by O. T. Lingo, who is now! doing road construction work in | Grangeville, his bid being $3.50. | The grading of the streets will | be done by the city under the supervision of the successful | bidder. | Under the bid submit-| ted by Mr. Martzen he is entitl-| ed to the use of the rock crusher, electric motor, and roller free of | charge, it being understood how- | ever that he must keep the mach | inery in first class condition and | pay for the electric power con- sumed by the motor. | Work will commence at once! and men have been engaged to put the crusher in shape so that | no time will be lost in crushing. Mr. Martzen will be undeer a! $2000 bond and the city will hold | back 15 per cent of the construc- | tion price until the work is fin- | ally completed and accepted, as a guarantee that he will complete | the work and that it will be first class in every respect. Cottonwood is indeed fortun-, ate in getting a bid as the one submitted by Mr. Martzen, for | work of this similar nature, | Grangeville and Craigmont, it is stated, are paying $3.50 a cubic yard. Local men will be employed by the successful contractor to do the work. INSTALL OFFICERS. The local council of the Knight of Columbus installed the follow- ing officers for the coming year in their council chambers Wed- nesday evening. Some 40 mem- bers of the council were present at the ceremony. The follow- ing newly elected officers were given their oath of office: John F. Knop, Grand Knight. Geo. Seubert, Deputy Grand Knight. Anthony Eckert, Chancellor. Barney Seubert, Financial Secretary. Paul Schurman, Secretary. Frank Nuxoll, Treasurer. Al Duman, Warden. © Alois Uhlorn, Advocate. Joe Sudkamp, Inside Guard. Otto Aichlmayr, Outisde Guard | The Knights of Columbus have made arrangements to pro- perly observe Columbus Day, | October 12th by giving an ap- Recording to Cottonwood and will in the future conduct a_ tailoring and cleaning business in this city, having rented a suitable room in | the Nuxoll block, next door to the Nau Furniture Store. Mr. Richards stated that he has | had his eye on Cottonwood for | some time and as soon as he can | procure a suitable home will re- move his family and household goods here. Besides doing a general tailor- ing and cleaning business Mr. Richards will also take orders for tailor made suits which he, guarantees to fit and prove sat- isfactory in every way. In this lien of work he has had a wide range of experience. Cotton- wood has been without a tailor for some time and we can see no reason why a business of this kind will not prove profitable to | the new proprietor as well as an asset to the city. In the busi- ness here Mr. Richards will be asociatel with his son, Kenneth. | A number of Grangeville peo- | ple have located.in this city within the last few years, and as one of them says, “the best of us | are now here why not move over | the county seat?” TO ACCEPT POSITION.

He is feeling much better, he stated, and will be in position to assume the office of collector about the 10th.
