A rousing baseball meeting was held in the Orpheum theatre Tuesday evening, some 75 fans and managers of the various towns, who wished to enter the league from different section of Idaho county, having been pre- sent. The meeting was called to order by chairman, T. E. Quin- lan, of Grangeville, and William Derrig, of Grangeville, acted as temporary secretary. After considerable discussion on the matter of organizing an eight team league, a vote was taken thereon, which resulted in four votes being cast for an eight team league and three for two four team leagues. If an eight team league was to be or- ganized, Ferdinand wished to withdraw, thus the only solution remained was a six team league. It was finally decided by an unanimous vote to organize two four team leagues, one to be known as the National, consist- ing of the towns of Ferdinand, Grangeville, Kooskia and Cot- tonwood and the American, con- sisting of the towns of Green- creek, Winona, Stites and Fenn. The chief objection to an eight | team league was that the sched- | ule would run too long, while with a four team league the sesson will close on July 4th.| Little interest is taken in base- ball, on the prairie, after the 4th of July. J. V. Nash was unanimously elected president of the two leagues and W H. Pearl of Stites, vice-president, Frank Albers, secretary-treasurer. The following by-laws and schedule was adopted at the meeting Tuesday evening: Constitution ahd By-Laws of the Idaho County National League and the Idaho County American League. Article I. ~ ESTATE IS WORTH $90,000 VONBARGEN OWNED 640 ACRES OF LAND—AP- PRAISED $64,000.00 The estate of the late Herman Von Bargen, was appraised Thursday, according to law, by Judge Fulton, of Grangeville; E. L. Dufur and Henry Meyer of Fenn. The appraised value of the estate was placed at $90,000, Liabilfties amounting to approxi- mately $40,000 are held against the estate. Six hundred ard forty acres of land in the Fenn section, owned by Mr. VonBargen was appraised at $100 an acre. The land will eventually be sold, but cannot be sold for less! than the appraised value. The executors, W. B. Hussman of Cottonwood, and L M. Harris of Grangeville, who have complete control over the property, have decided to farm the land this year under the supervision of Walter von Bargen land values become steady they will’ dispose of the land. LUMSKI WINS AGAIN. Kid Lumski, Cottonwood 154 pounder, taking his second straight victory in won the judges’ decision from Cicil Manning. Pomeroy, fight- ing at 148 pounds, at the end of a! scheduled 12-round bout in the main event of the 32-round card staged by the Lewis-Clark Ath- letic association at the Temple theater Monday evening. The fight was one of the fastest and cleanest ever seen in Lewiston. Throughout the fight Lumski had a shade over his adversary, and most of the time played the aggressor. He displayed ability to get through to Manning's face and from the fourth round on the Pomeroy boy was bleeding from mouth and ear. A thrill went over the attend- ing crowd in the fifth when Manning staged what appeared to be a strong comeback. Fora The names of these organiza-| time Lumski went groggy under tions shall be the Idaho County National League and the Idaho County American League. Article II. The object of these leagues shall be to foster and promote the National game in Idaho County, Idaho, during the sea- son of 1922. Article III.

Manning, however, was unable to follow up his ad- vantage. Manning several times attempted to rush Lumski with- out avail. He took a great deal of punishment and stood it gamely.

The roads in and about Cot- tonwood are ina fairly good condition. Automobiles are now running between Cottonwood Winona and Cottonwood to Ferdinand. Ac- cording to reports the road over Cottonwood Butte, in places is still filled with drifted snow. The road between Cottonwood and Lewiston through the mountains is still in very bad shape. and after) Lewiston, | $2.00 PER YEAR ‘NEWS AROUND THE STATE Items of Interest From Various Sections Reproduced for Ben- efit of Our Readers. _ Indians in the state of Idaho jin the future can fish ¢nd hunt | without a license according to the treaty of 1855, says the United States district attoreny.

The Orofino Tribune and the Clearwater Republican were merged Tuesday, the Clearwater Publishing company the subscription list and poe will of the . Tribune, which will be discontinued. Leona R. Hollingsworth, aged 19 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Hollingsworth of Kamiah, died Monday in a Lew- iston hospital following an opera- tion for appendicitis. Miss Hol- lingsworth was attending the Lewiston State Normal school. The business men of Kamiah, Idaho, are well satisfied with the outcome of the town’s first “bar- vain day.” Despite bad roads the town was well filled and a large volume of business was transacted. A free auction sale was an added feature on the pro- gram. Owing to the heavy blasting on the Clearwater near Myrtle, the nonhatching of eggs this spring is being seriously felt by owners = both Be ameg. and setting hens. e eggs simply .efuse to hatch. Heavy thunder- storms occurring during the in- cubating period is said to have a like effect. The announcement comes from Potlatch that the big plant of the Potlatch Lumber company at that place will resume operations on Monday Mayl. The mills at Elk River, owned also by the Potlatch company, will be put in operation as soon as it can be put in readiness, which it is thought will be sometime during May. Two hundred fifty thousand bushels of Washington and Idaho club and red wheat, valued at approximately $825,000, will be loaded and shipped from the port of Seattle about May 1 for marketing in Europe, Walter J. Robinson, secretary of the Wash- ington-Idaho Growers’ associa- tion, announced Wednesday. Gordon Akers, 6, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. ae Akers of Lewiston was run down and kil- led by an automobile driven by Peter Arp, an elderly man, of Clarkston, near the Akers home Monday. The boy walked into the street as Mr. Arp was driv- ing east at slow speed. It is said that the boy walked directly in front of the car, which passed over his body, but the driver stopped when the rear wheel struck the little fellow’s body. Idaho state game officials erected adam in Asotin creek recently designed to permit trout and salmon to ascend the creek to the spawning beds but to ef- fectively bar suckers. The ex- periment has been successful and countless thousands of suckers gathered at the foot of the dam. Hundreds of persons gathered to witness the unusual spectacle and were permitted to capture the suckers in unlimited quan- tities. Farmers caught wagon loads for fertilizer with grab- hooks. Forty candidates were initiat- ed by the Knights of Columbus at Moscow Sunday. The event was the biggest in the history of APPOINT REGISTRARS 3 —FIX SALARIES Commissioners Made No Cut in Officials’ Salaries to be Elected this Fall The board of county com- missioners at their regular ses- sion held in Grangevi'le ordered that the county officers to be elected at the next general elec- \tion shall receive salaries as hereinafter set forth, commenc- ing on the second Monday of January 1928, to-wit: | Clerk, auditor and recorder shall receive $1800 per annum. | Sheriff shall receive $1800 per | annum. | Assessor shall receive $1800 per annum. | Tyeasurer and Tax Collector | shall receive $1650 per annum. | County Superintendent of Public Instruction shall receive $1800 per annum, | Probate Judge shall $1400 per annum. | Surveyor shall recive $50 per | annum. | Coroner shall receive $50 per | annum. | In accordance with chapter 31 ; section 561 of the Compiled | | Statutes of the State of Idaho |the board here appointed the | following persons as registrars |in their respective election pre- cincts: Cottonwood, Mrs. Olie Rhett.

This is the first machine of its kind to be placed in operation on the prairie. The gas is generat- ed out of carbite and at a cost of | approximately 114 cents a cubic | foot while the gas which they | have been using in the past, | shipped in from outside points has been costing about 7 cents a cubic foot. Generators, manufactured in the past, have been considered more or less dangerous, but the | one installed by Huddleston and | Speck is said to be approved by all underwriters. Only fifteen pounds of gas can be manufact- ured at one time after which any one of three automatic switches stop the machine. When the pressure is released from the tank the machine is again placed in operation automaticly. The installation of the ma- chine, said Mr. Huddleston. | “Means that we can do acteylene welding at a much cheaper price | then heretofore.” | The machine, as equipped cost approximately $1000. M.
