VOLUME 30. NO 11 “FLU” CRISIS © NOT REACHED SO REPORTS THE DEPART- MENT OF PUBLIC WEL- FARE AT BOISE. The influenza epidemic, which has again made its appearance throughout the breath and length of the land is in many | m localities proving just as fatal as in the year 1919 when thousands m thousands of peoples fell ims to this dreaded disease. Cottonwood proves to be no ex- ception to the case and according to local physicians there are at least 200 cases in and about Cot- tonwood, most of which are of a mild nature. “At the present writing there are only two cases of pneumonia, that of M. M. Belknap and J. N. u v Beldsoe, both of whom are re-| ported by there attending physi- cians, Dr. Orr, Dr. Shinnick to be doing as well as could be expect- | .ed. To date no ban has been placed on public gatherings in Cottonwood. In a letter mailed to all news- paper publishers throughout the state by the Department of Pub-| lic Welfare with headquarters in Boise who has kept a very close tab on the situation states “Re-| ports indicate that the peak of the disease has not been reach- ed, as yet there being an increase in the number of cases reported in the last two days.” The Department has also put the following rules in force: No person showing evidence of the keginning of the disease such as by colds, sneezing, coughing, watery eyes, to be al-| lowed in any public gathering, such as schools, churches, thea- tres or other gathering of people. | Persons in charge of such pub-j} lic gatherings will be requested | to ask such persons to leave the place. - School teachers are requested to send any child home that shows any of the above symp- toms and to notify the proper au- thorities. People are notified that there will be no placarding of homes from which the disease is re- ported. Parents are urged to keep their child at home and in bed if it shows signs of becoming ill. It is much better to take the disease in time and break it up than to allow the child to run loose until the disease is well developed, as this frequently re- sults in complications. People are also urged to take better care of their health in general; to see that their homes are properly heated and ventilat- ed and otherwise to do every- thing possible to avoid the low- ering of their vitality. In the average case the course of the disease seems to run for a period of two and a half to three or four days. Cases with a high tem- perature are urged to take a longer time in convelescing be- fore assuming their duties. It is advisable to isolate the person ill at home from the rest | of the family as much as possible and thus avoid any unnecessary exposure. This is an excellent time to commence the practice of good health laws. TAKE NOTICE DAIRYMEN. There will be a meeting of those parties who signed up for dairy cows, Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, March 13th, at the Cot- tonwood hirhway office for the purpose of arranging the final details of the shipment and fi- nancing the same with the Dairy and Special Finance Committees. Kindly be present so as not to delay the shipment any longer. | Dairy and Finance Committee, Cottonwood Community Club. CARD OF THANKS.

COLFAX MEN BUY BLOCK’ | ;GOLDSTONE BLOCK SOLD FOR $10,000—WILL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS | The Goldstone block, in Cot- tonwood, occupied by the Leg- gett Mercantile Co. has recently passed from its original owner, Sam Goldstone, of Lewiston to G. W. Wilson and Marion Freeman | of Colfax, Washington. The location of the property makes it one of the most desirable busi- ness sites in the city. The price paid for the prop- erty, according to Mr. Wilson, who was a business visitor in Cottonwood, Tuesday, was $10,- 000. satisfactory manner according to} highway commissioners with the; Plans have already been made | by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Freeman to make some extensive impro- vements.

A carload of sheep were ship- ped into Cottonwood from Grangeville the first of the week, consigned to Simon Bros. who will slaughter the animals for their wholesale and retail trade. Simon Bros. have built up a | wholesale business that mighty few towns the size of Cotton- wood can boost of. Two men are employed in their slaughter house whose time is continually occupied killing and dressing animals. Their cold storage plant is modern in every respect and is as large as any that can be found in a city the size of , Lewiston. NAMED EXECUTOR IN WILL W. B. Hussman spent Tuesday and Wednesday of this week in Grangeville on matters pretain- ing to the estate of the late Her- man VonBargen. Mr. Hussman - COTTONWOOD CHRONICLE COTTONWOOD, IDAHO, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1922 SS The right-of-way for the a {] BICYCLE CHAMPION DIES; Frank J. Jenny, at one time champion bicycle rider of the world of Utica, N. Y. and a cou- sin of J. F. Jenny of this city died recently at his home in Utica, N. Y. According to a Utica paper, Mr. Jenny was a very prominent man of that city. In a very lengthy article the Utica paper eulogizes the late Mr. Jenny and among other things says: “When the bicycle racing sport was at the height of its popula- rity, Mr. Jenny achieved world. wide fame as a racer. He was an expert at trap shooting and also followed the sport of bowi- ing. Besides the fame gained by him through his hobby of athletic sports Mr. Jenny wa: promiment in local business cir cles as a member of the firm o/ Jenny & Nelbach, monument makers. “It may be said that Mr. Jenny was a foremost factor in puttin; Utica on the map when bicyel riding and racing was popular for he excelled in that sport and as a youth held several cham pionships, including one world’: title. He started his career as a racer in Rome on Decoration Day, 1898, and won his first novice race. His ability was so pronounced that he became a professional rider.” CALLED TO MONTANA, Mrs. Geo. Medved departed Wednesday morning for Butte, Mont., having been summoned there by a telegram announcing the death of her brother-in-law, Lewis Karr who passed away Tuesday morning, death having been caused by pneumonia, fol- lowing influenza. Mr. Karr was 36 years of age at the time of |his death and is well known in Idaho county, having about ten years ago taken an active part in baseball and was known through- out the entire prairie and Lewis- ton country as a ball player of more than average ability. For the past seven years he has been employed by the Anconda Cop- per Co., of Butte, Mont with whom he held a very responsible position at the time of his death. Funeral services will be held in Butte today, at 8 p. m. ROAD SUPPLIES COMING.
