According to plans, of the General Construction company, which concern has the contract for graveling the North and South highway thru the Ferdin- and and Cottonwood districts, their large crusher will be placed | in operation Monday, crushing rock with which the new roadbed | will be covered, EE. H. Price, | foreman in charge of the work, has had a large number of ‘men busy the past two weeks placing the crusher in position and building storage: bins for the! crushed rocks. Drills have been | hammering away for the same period of time and as soon as the work is commenced all the rock necessary will have been jarred loose from its natural bed. From the present crusher site, | the company, plans on graveling the road into Cottonwood and. to the Uhlorn ranch, after that the equipment will be removed to the Moody gulch and from this point the remainder of the rock will be perpared for the road. The road, which is 22 feet | wide will be graveled 18 feet, | first with coarse rock to the depth of 5 inches and then fin- ished with 3 1-2 inches of fine rock. In places where the road shows weakness the gravel will | be placed on thicker. The entire | road will be rolled before and after the rock has been placed. Graders are now busy placing the road in shape for the rock. | A resident engineer is also on; the job. The first graveling will be done from the crusher to Cot- tonwood, which is approximately 2 miles. This work they plan on completing in 18 days. The company has lost some valuable time owing to weather conditions but they hope to make this up when they get every- thing running in first class shape.

Butt Cutt, the chinaman, who is so widely known in Cotton- wood, Sunday accidently fell from the back steps of the Idaho Restaurant and injured his left hip to such an extent that he has been confined to his bed for the past week. Dr. Orr exarnined the injury and is unable to deter-|. mine at this time whether the hip is broken or badly sprained. Even in his misfortune, Butt Cutt, is a congenial patient and has a laugh for everyone who visits his bedside. His exact age is not known but he nears his 80th millstone and has been a resident of Idaho county for nearly a half century. The aged chinaman is suffer- ing for no wants whatsoever for he is being well taken care of by is white friends whom he num- bers by the hundreds. Since he} has been confined to his home he has been visited by scores of friends and upon departing he, always thanks them heartily. Even the children are taking a| keen interest in his welfare.

Mr. Watson and his son, who were cutting logs for the mill, about 40 rods west, heard the call for help, and hurried to the scene, but upon seeing the ser- iousness, he sent his son for help with the lead team; then he ar- ranged a skid. in such a manner that when they managed to roll the log, it would be carried clear of the body.

Mr, Fox dispatched a team to the nearest telephone for a.physician while the men and the two Mrs. | Fox tried to do what was in their | power to make the unfortunate man as comportable as possible, after it was discovered there were still signs of life. Genrve Warren telephoned and guided Dr. Shinnick to the mill with all | possible haste. Mr, Cleve was| detailed to hasten for the Law- rence family and bring them to their dying boy. The doctor upon his arrival found his left} arm dislocated, his shoulder, blade crushed against the lung} which he immediately removed, | allowing breathing action more | freely, and 20 minutes later the | boy was resting considerably | easier. After another examina- | tion, Dr. Orr was called into con- | sultation. By this time the boy | had been removed to the Fox home where he stil] remains, and is at this time making marvelous recovery.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES, Cottonwood’s 1928 chautauqua program closed Saturday even- ing, the last number having been put on by the Garner Jubilee Singers, a colored folks organization, before a packed house. The program this year, most of chautauqua patronizers will admit, was far superior of last year’s entertainments. The difficulty that arose be- tween the local signers of the contract and the management of the concern was satisfactorily settled by their agents on a basis that the guarantors re- ceive credit for all tickets sold and for the money taken in at the door after which they would divide the shortage on the 50- 50 basis and when final settle- ment was made cost the signers approximately $10 each. No contract was signed for next year. MRS. SCHILLER ILL. Mrs. William Schiller, of Lewiston, and for many years a resident of Cottonwood, was taken to Portland last week by her husband, accompanied by their daughter where she will re- ceive medical treatments under Dr. Coffee. Mrs. Schiller has not been in the best of health for some time. She is a sister of Fred, Frank and Bart Simon of this city. CHANGE SHOW NIGHTS.

L. Armstrong of Spokane, formerly in the banking busi- ness at Oroville, Wash., and re- cently connected with the In- land Empire Securitites com- pany at Spokane, has accepted a position with the Ehrhardt In- vestment company in the mort- gage department at Lewiston. The postoffice at Clarksfork was partially destroyed by fire early Sunday morning and a con- siderable amount of mail matter was reported to have been dam- aged by water and smoke, Mrs. Flora Rotz, postmistress, ° and her daughter, who lived on the second floor of the building, lost their personal effects. _ Lazy husbands in Idaho are likely to find this state an un- comfortable place in which to live, if probate judges in other counties adopt the policy that | Judge F, E, Chalfant of Ada county, has actually put into force and effect, for he is apply- ing what is known as the “lazy husband” law. Willard Case was the first husband to feel it, He was sentenced to serve four months at hard labor on the county roads because he refused to work and provide for his wife. William and Daniel Boise, both of Lewiston, appeared at the office of United State Com. missioner H. R. Smith Thursday at Moscow, and furnished bond for their appearance at the fall term of the federal court to answer to a charge of violating the national prohibition act. Bench warrants were issued by Federal Judge Frank S. Dietrich last November for the two men, but never served owing to the fact that they were absent. Their appearance was voluntary. Each furnished $2,500 bond. The mystery which has pre- vailed in the mind of the public for the last two years over the cause of the suicide of Geo: Meitzeler, former cashier of the Union Central bank of May, who was found dead with a self-in- flicted bullet wound in August | of 1921, was cleared up in the federal court at Boise, Monday, when the fact was established that Meitzeler killed himself be- cause he believes certain note forgeries which he had commit- ted were known to Bank Com- missioner Fralick. Two state prisoners, Edward Roscoe and Albert McDonald, were committed to the state insane asylum at Blackfoot Sat- urday following hearings held at the penitentiary before Probate Judge F. E.

When the keeper | opend the door of McDonald’s cell recently where he was kept in solitary confinement he dart- ed out and climbed up one of the | telephone poles in the prison | yard and it was several hours before he could be persuaded to come down. Frank Strand, alleged slayer of E. Wedel, a farmer near Santa, was shot and mortally wounded early Monday in a gun battle with a posse of seven men, headed by James McDonald, a state officer. The battle which took place on the homestead of York Martin on Gold creek, seven miles east of Clarkia, started at 3:30 Monday morn- ing and terminated an hour later.
