Skike was Charles Greenough, a former resident of Cottonwood and ex-postmaster. The legal) battle was a hard fought one and much credit belongs to Mr. Greenough. Van Skike is a wealthy farmer. BIG GAME TONIGHT. The Cottonwood high school basketball team will open the season tonight in the high school gym with the Grangeville high school team. The contest be- tween Grangeville and Cotton- wood always causes a keen in- terest to be taken in the result of the game among the pupils of the school as well as the public in general. Coach Westover has been training his boys for the vast two weeks and the outcome, it is hoped will be with the local boys holding onto the largest end of the score. The Cotton- wood team will be made up from the following players: Raymond Tacke, Justice Frank, Francis Homar, Raymond Nims, Hubert | Hattrup, Glen Rink, Tom Shin- nick and August Hoene. Be there and help the Cotton- wood H. S. carry away the “bacon.” LOW WATER. Low water and ice are given as the cause for the weak elec- | | tric juice passing over the wires | }j 3. | of the Grangeville Electric Light | and Power company this week. At times the river has been so low that it was necessary for the company to turn on its steam auxilary plant at Orofino to work in conjunction with the plant on the Clearwater. This is the first time in two years been poor and the only remedy will be rain to swell the Clear- water river. MENTAL CONDITION BAD. Ed Onley the 16-year old boy who was taken into custody here last week and turned over to the sheriff of Lewis county is still confined in the jail at Nezperce. There appears to be no question but that the boy is mentally un- balaned. He confessed to burn- ing a school house near Winches- ter and robbing several homes.

The vote was better than 2 to 1 against bond- ing. It would have required a two-thirds vote to carry the elec- tion in favor of the issue. The result, while no surprise to many, as it has been predict- ed by prominent citizens of the district that the issue would not carry at this time, was, however, a surprise to some that the sen- timent should be so strongly against the movement. Good road enthusiasts are somewhat discouraged over the results of the Fenn election, for had it carried the money that would have been obtainable from the sale of the bonds would have been used for the construction of the North and South highway through the Fenn district, the only missing link on the prairie. Be that as it may, the citizens of the Fenn district are not to be condemned for their action in turning down the bond issue as some would have us believe for {it was their liberty to do so if | they desired and by the decisive | | vote have shown that they were| | against the proposed movement at this time for more reasons than one, we understand. | The vote at Fenn, Tvesday,} | Was an exceptionally heavy one, | 133. Practically every one qua- ed in the district having ex- | pressed his or her sentiments | through one of our greatest in- | stitutions, the secret ballot. AFTER DEPUTY JOBS. | Sheriff-elect William Eller, came out from his home on Sal- |mon river Sunday and departed | latory work a banquet will be! that the company’s service has, °° the evening train for Grange- | ville on business matters. While jin Cottonwood he was advised | that the official count had been | made and that he was duly de- |clared elected sheriff of Idaho county by the board of county commissioners setting as a can- vassing board in Grangeville. Since his election to office Mr. Eller has received numerous ap- plications for the position of office deputy and field deputy, the compensation in each case being $125 per month. Up to the present time, Mr. Eler has selected no one as his deputies and will not do so until about a week before he assumes charge of the sheriff's office. Mr. Eller will remove with his family to Grangeville some time in December. It is quite likely that one of Mr. Eller’s deputies will come from the west side and in this way he hopes to show his appreciation for the splendid vote he received here. Tally cards for sale.
