Today | PLANS ARE NOW UNDER WAY FOR PARK IN COTTONWOOD. The Cottonwood Commercial club, held a very interesting meeting ut the Cottonwood Hotel, Tuesday and besides en- joying a splendid miday meal prepared by J. R. McFadden, discussed the advisability of pro- curing a tourist park to be used by automobile tourists traveling through the country. The senti- ment of the meeting was unani- mous in favor of such a proposi- ton and a committee composed of Fred Simon, William Frick and Charles Johnston was appointed by Chairman Belknap to investi- gate different sites for such a park and to report at the next meeting which will be held on May 8ist. That Cottonwood needs such a park was forciably brought to the attention of a number of business men within the past ten days. Several automoblles have stopped here and the occupants thereof have asked if Cotton- wood had a tourist park. Had we had such a park every one of these cars and their occupants would have at least spent one night in the town. Cottonwood is going to have a tourist park and it will be second to none on the prairie. The com- mittee in charge has several locations in sight, but none have been decided upon definitely. Those present at the Commer- cial Club luncheon Tuesday were: Chairman Belknap, Secre- tary Flint, Fred Simon, Charles Johnston, J. F. Brown, William Simon, R. A. Nims, Roy Speck, Lloyd Turner, Geo. Medved, B. Malerich, W. A. Ferguson, Wil- liam Frick, Barney Seubert, J. F. Richards, Vern Dye, Herman Weigand, and J. R. McFadden. Everyone interested in this movement is urged to be pre- set at the meeting to be held Wednesday noon at the Cotton- wood Hotel. Be there. Let’s put Cotton- wood on the map. TEACHERS LEAVE .

Almost a centenarian is a Lewiston pioneer, Isaac Mounce, who, on April 28, 1922, celebrat- ed his 98th birthday anniversary ina reunion of relatives at Culdesac, where he has recently been living at the home of his daughter Mrs. Wm.

Bracken, former com- mander of the Idaho department, American Legion, received from United States Senator F. R.

Charlie George, life-termer at the state penitentiary and tur- key tender extraordinary, is all smiles this spring, in contrast to his pessimism over last year’s turkey crop. With 165 turkey hens setting, an average of 18 eggs each and the hatching al- ready commencing, Charlie re- ports a 95 per cent hatch so far. That means approximately 2700 more turkeys in his flock this year.
