eae a VOLUME 30. NO. 39 SPOKANE MEN VISIT THE CITY PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN TRAVEL BY SPECIAL TRAIN—HERE 1 HOUR. Eighty-four members of the Spokane Merchants Association, among them some of the most prominent business men of the city of Spokane, arrived in Cot- tonwood yesterday afternoon at 2 p. m. on a special train, con- sisting of 3 standard Pullman sleepers, a dining car and an observation car and spent more than an hour in the city calling on local business houses. The special train departed from the city at 3 p. m. for, Grangeville where they will spend the night, returning to their home at Spokane today. The delegation was headed by Whitehead’s orchestra, one of the best musical organizations in the west who furnished the musi¢e for the big dance at the county seat last night. The men who made the trip were a fine lot and were much easier to get acquainted with than when they are sitting in their private offices. All of them were representatives of large business concerns of the city of Spokane. The train was decor- ated with a large sign bearing these words: “Spokane is a friendly city.” ee The personnel of the party follows: Joe Bailey, Fidelity National Bank; Dan R.

An Jack Adair, Jack Purshall of Spokane and Small of Lewiston arrived in Cottonwood, Tuesday noon from Grangeville and made near the city. The aviators after executing a few “stunts” circled the city a number of times beofre they finallv landed, having had some difficulty in selecting a suitable site. They remained in the city for lunch. The boys spent almost two hours trying to vet the machine into the air again, the plowed field in which they made their landing | slacking up the speed of the machine while on the ground and it was not until numerous at- tempts were made did they fin- ally get into the air. Thev were headed for Spokane, Wash.

Ow-| ing to lack of room is was up to the school board to either build or remove the unoccupied build- ing to Cottonwood. The task of moving the building is being done by the Cottonwood Battery Shop and a large tractor and steam engine is being used as motive power. In an attempt to move the building yesterday the cables attached to the engine broke and larger ones had to be used. FINE CORN. The Chronicle office this week received two fine samples of corn, four ears from the Matt Duclos ranch which are splendid specimens one ear measuring 10 inches in length and the three others almost as long. Another ear was brought to the office by Frank Wimer and while for length it does not measure up to the Duclos corn it has 18 rows of as fine a corn on its cobb that one could wish to look at. Ex- perienced corn men tell us that the past season has been ideal weather for corn.
