VOLUME NO. 31 DEDICATECHURCH AT WHITEBIRD WHITEBIRD CHURCH DEDI- | CATED SUNDAY BY BISHOP GORMAN. It has been once more an hon- | or and a pleasure to welcome our Rt. Rev. Bishop of Boise, Daniel M. Gorman, D. D., in our midst The visit of our first pastor never merely a visit, and parti- cularly on this occasion a well- filled program awaited his lord- ship. Arriving with the train Thurs- day evening, the bishop was re- ceived by the Rev. Chaplain of St. Gertrude’s and led to his con- vent quarters, which he was to occupy off and on during the fol- lowing days of his pastoral act- ivity up to his departure on Mon-, day morning. The first ceremony to take place was at the convent in the form of a double religious profes- sion at the high mass Corem Episcopo on Friday 8 o'clock A. M. The chapel was filled, even crowded, by a very appreciative attendance from the neighboring communities. At 8 o'clock sharp, the bells of St. Gertrude’s gave the sign for the opening of the ceremonies, the organ struck up a wedding religious march as the processon of the sisters to be professed accompanied by their eandle-bearers and members of the community, escorted His Lordship vested in Cope, Mitre and Crozier, and surrounded by the assistant clergy, to the chap- el. After the chanting of the gospel of the mass, two hereto fore novices were admitted to sisterhood and pronounced their fourmula of religious profession. They were Miss Teresa daughtey of Gerhart Gehring of the Keu- terville parish, henceforth to be known as Sister Mary Martina, O. S. B., and Miss Mary Hack of Tacoma, Wash., Sister Mary Irmangard, O. S. B., who is the fourth one of her family to join the Benedictine order. After this, followed the per- petual profession of Sisters M. Engelberta, O. S. B., daughter of Joe Uhlenkott, of Cottonwood, Sr. M. Matilda, O. S. B., daugh- ter of Mr. Walzer, of Cottonwood and Sr. M. Rose, O. S. B., daugh- ter of Theo. Schaecher, of Cot- tonwood. The chapel and altars were tastefully decorated, as usual, the chant and psalmody did hon- or to the performers; and every visitor carried with them, we are sure, an excellent impression of both the religious celebration and of the family feast which followed it. A solemn service of thanksgiving closed the day, | for to God alone belong all honor and glory. May He shower His choicest blessings on the coura- geous young ladies who have so nobly on this day taken up the task of His undivided service and vowed their life to the welfare of their neighbor. His lordship then was taken to Greencreek where, on Saturday morning, he pontifically confer- red the four minor ecclesicstical orders on a candidate for the priesthood, a child of the Green- creek tak. and probably the first one thereof to receive that honor. The candidate has been a student of the Bened. Fathers at Mt. Angel, Oregon, for the last few vears, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jentges of Green- creek. Early on Sunday morning, the Rt. Rev. Bishop, left St. Gert- rude’s accompanied by the Rev Chaplain, for Grangeville, where his lordship celebrated holy mass in presence of a representative congregation. The real obiective of this journey was Whitebird for the blessing and dedication of a new church and bell. The trip to Grangeville and then to Whitebird was on sche- dule time, our good friends Mr. Geo. Medved, our esteemed edi- tor, and Mr. Frank McGrane and son, sharing in turn the respon- sibility and honor of the com- forts of the read. Some say we were a trifle late at Whitebird, | | but this is. is solely due to the pop. Panam, of our good bishop who! not deny himseif to any of his | me triends or loyal children. | Now, we have hailed the white! shining steeple of the Whitebird | | church and it will take but a few | moments until all is ready for | | the ceremony. First, his lords ship | | vested in his pontificals, pro- | ceeds to dedicate the new church, assisted by the pro-tem pastor of | Grangeville, Rev. Fr. Boniface. | | 0. S. B., the Rev. M. Baerlocher | of Greencreek, and the Rev. Fr. | | James, O. S. B., chaplain of St. Gertrudes. Then followed the | high mass celebrated by the! Rev. pastor, who, in a few heart- | felt sentences gave the key-note | of the celebration, quite a novel- | ty for the citizens of Whitebird, | ' His lordship then delivered one | of those forceful eloquent allocu- | tions for which he is so advanta- | geously known. In the course | of his oration he paid a high and | well-deserved tribute to Miss! Alphonsine Morrison and her} uncle, the pioneer Mr. Marion | Glatigny for the absolutely lead- | ing role they, and especially she, | have taken in the noble enter- prise of erecting a house of cath- | olie worship in the little pros-| perous town. The plans of the} new church were drawn up by} Mr. Engelbert Gier, the archi tect of the new St. Gertrude’s; they were carried out by Mr.| John Reiland of Cottonwood, and this capable work headed by the undaunted energy of the lady mentioned above and the help of | kind friends show their results in the monument dedicated last Sunday to the S. Heart of Jesus. | Among the large audience | which literally crowded the new church, many had come from the} prairie to swell the number of | the parishioners of Whitebird and the neighboring ranches;} and from amidst their animated circles nothing was heard but} words of congratulation and words of praise and admiration for the beautiful little white church completed to the last de- tails. Nothing is wanting, three artistic altars and com- munion rail, imitation regalico, from the firm Swoboda, Kewau- nee, Wish. Each altar is sur- mounted to its patronal statue, namely, the Sacred Heart of Jesus pleading, the Blessed Vir- gin, Mother of God, and St. Joseph ; a rich-tened organ of the firm Estey & Co., pews, sacris- | ties, ete., everything is there. It is seldom that country place with a catholic population sparse ly settled can begin so auspici- ously. It is not to be wondered | at that our Rt. Rev. Bishop had | determined long ago to grace the ocession with his presence in order to show his appreciation for the good will and undaunted | energy exhibited all through the erection of the new temple of God. His lordship, at the end of mass, edministered the sacra- ment of confirmation, conferring the divine knighthood of the Hold Ghost on eleven young soldiers of Christ. Two infants received the sacrament of bapti- sm, some children received their first holy communion. Indeed, a beautiful beginning, the prom- ising dawn, we hope, of a glori- ous day abounding in fruits of blessing for souls and full of | glory for the Almighty. The tack assigned to the morn- ing was over and it was with a delightful feeling of satisfaction that the main participants sat down to a table weighed down under its burden of appetizing dishes, whilst the people at large wended their steps to the picnic | grounds to refresh the material man and this part of the pro- gram, we are sure, received its full share of attention. But so far the new church was devoid of its official voice or tongue. No bell so far had sent its echoes over vale and hill to cal the worshippers. The bell was there though, but it was silent, it had not received its of- | ficial mandate. It was to be} commissioned for its task in the afternoon. Hence at 3 o’clock cues's, the Rev. Fathers and His Lordship repaired to the church in order to take part in or to witness the blessing of the new} bell, a gift of Mr. M. Glatigny.

Politics, wegnust confess is dis cussed very little here and then nly in most cases by politicians ut the majority of the people and are going to vote for the men and women who they think are best the office and those who will at the same time cut | expenses and reduce the heavy taxes to at least some extent. Men who are well versed with | county effairs in this section are of the opinion that if the right sandidates are nominated and| elected they can easily save the county $12,000 yearly, $1000 a month or more and do it easily by curtailing all unnecessary ex penses. | In short, the qualifications | asked by the voters this year are competency and efficiency. Those who have not registered | have until Saturday evening to, register. Mrs. Rhett at the Cottonwood Mercantile is the registrar. All those who have registered re urged to get out and vote, Tuesday, and cast their ballot for the man or woman, who in their judgment is best fitted for the office they seek. Spare a few minutes, Tuesday, and vote and | then if your candidate does not win you have noone to blame and the majority will rule. If we ll remain at home the wishes the majority by no means will be expressed at the primary elec- tion the coming week. John and Alois Wemhoff left | Wednesday morning for a point in Nebraska to be present at the | ordination of their brother into | the priesthood. The boys plan on returning 2s quickly as pos-} sible in order to be back in time for harvest. J. E.

YES A FRUIT COUNTRY. Arlie Gentry brought to the Chronicle office Saturday a sample of apricots which were grown on his ranch on Salmon river and for size and flavor they hed anything beat that we have ever had occasion to see. The apricots were the size of ordin-; ary peaches. The trees were planted by Mr. Gentry from seedlings and have grown nicely on the river. For flavor, the fruit could not be excelled, The fruit crop on the prairie this year is far aboue the aver- age and this proves to be especi- ally true of cherries. The J. F. Jenny erchard, which is a young | day one may register for the pri- |} orchard and one of the finest in this community bore fruit in large quanti‘ies and of excellent quality and this week while pick- ing cherries 18 gallons were gathered from one small tree, The Jennys, having an over sur- plus stock of cherries offered some for sale and within three days after the Chronicle was published last week, through which medium they advertised, their entire crop was so'd and dozens of prospective customers had to be turned away. Buyers from various sections of the county to buy the fruit. 4 SAD AFFAIR. st Friday towards evening the many friends of Tony Baune, on industrious young farmer in the vicinity of Cottonwood, were shocked by the sad news that the young man in an attack of de- spondency which had unbalanced his mind had made an attempt to take his life. Close observers had noticed for some time that | the early departure of his belov- \¢ d wife, obout three months ago, was weighing very heavy on his mind. In the solitude of his once so cheerful home he was fostering gloomy meditations, of the prevailing climate, he finally broke down with the above men- tioned result. Dr. Orr who tended to his case ordered ‘and conducted his transfer to Spo- kane, where he will find proper It is universally hoped for. that in a not to far future he will return perfectly y restored, SOMMERS FREI.

Mr. and Mrs. Barney and Gertrude Tacke returned Tuesday evening from a two months visit with relatives in lowa, Nebraska and Montana, The Tackes left about two months ago for Iowa to be present at the golden wed- ding celebration of Mr. Tacke’s brother, in Iowa. They spent about a month in «nd: bout Car- ro}, lowa and fron: there Mrs. E. J. Nye parted for a point in Nebraska to visit with a sister and during the time Mrs. Tacke visited with relatives in Nebraska Mr. Tacke spent his time with his son in Montana. Crop conditions in Iowa, Mr. Tacke says were first class and in Montana the farmers will harvest the best crop in years. The outlook in Montana a few weeks ago was excellent but ow- ing to two days of hot winds the yield was materially cut down. Montana has enjoyed several fine rains and the gardens and pasture could be no better. While Mr. and Mrs. Tacke en- joyed every minute of their visit they were glad to return home and to again be among. their friends and nelgHbors: - YS, RANC oH. Nuxoll, Friday of last mH closed a deal with B. Ter- willegar for his 80 acre ranch, two miles east of Greencreek.

Mr. Terwilleger will sell his personal property at public auc- tion on Wednesday, August 2nd and a list of the personal pro- perty that will be offered for sale by him can be found on another page of this issue of the Chron- icle. Mr. and Mrs. Terwillegar plan on retiring and may decide to locate in either Lewiston Clarkston immediately after the sale. INSPECT HERDS.
