[ Nezperce Defeats Cottonwood, I 22 to 14 - The Nezperce High School bas ket ball team sustained the repu tation and honor of the school in the initial game of the season against- the Cottonwood team last Saturday evening at the lo cal gym by defeating the visi tors. with a score of 22 to 14. AVith one exception, Nezperce played entirely new material against Cottonwood's husky five, this being the first contest with an outside team in which the lo cals had engaged, and a sthe lads lined up to start the melee, the odds favored Cottonwood;. The old time Nezperce speed and pluck was soon in evidence, how ever, and while it seemed to be anybody's game at any time, the local bunch kept up a fast pace, and the first half closed with the score 12 to 9 in Nezperce 's favor. The visitors outclassed the locals in weight and their experience gave them an advantage in team work, and the last half went in a dizzy whirl—speed and fury from the toss up. Both sides "roughed it'' liberally, but still Nezperce managed to better than maintain the lead and was going strong when time was called. The Nezperce lineup was as follows: Delmar Sullivan and Clayton Miller, forwards; Joe Farrar and Aferwin 'Harding, guards ; Alarion Crurapacker, center; with Earl-Stellmon sub stituting for Delmar Sullivan in the last half.

As a result of the conference which was also attended by the school superintendents of Nez Perce, Idaho, Latah and Clear water counties, a joint institute will he held in Lewiston next fall with a program measuring up to, if not surpassing, the institute planned for last fall, hut which was postponed on account of the influenza epidemic, said the Tri bune. Asotin county will be the sixth to participate in the big ed ucational event. Tuesday's conference was held upon invitation issued by Mrs. Alinnie Faust, .superintendent of Nez Perce county. This confer ence showed a most enthusiastic interest in the plan adopted and decision was unanimous that the institute should be held the first week in October, while a third conclusion reached was to invite F. AA r . Simmonds, superintendent of the Lewiston public schools, to assume the responsibility of director. AVith the decision reached this early to arrange the institute it will be possible to immediately take up the matter of securing for the program, leading educat ors of (he country, before their plans- have been made, and it is felt that through this fact the presence here of an excep tionally strong list of speakers and lecturers can be secured . The superintendents also took up consideration of the matter of the annual inter-county spelling match, and decided to waive the match this year, due to condi tions arising from the influenza epidemic which closed for long periods many of the schools, and thus making it impossible for a number of such schools to partic ipate. At the conclusion of the con ference, Aliss Sweet and Miss AVilson were guests of Airs. •Faust on a visit to Aliss AleDon ald at the training school east of Lewiston.

The deceased would have at tained his 72nd birthday next March. He came to this prairie from Nebraska some 20 years ago and bought the farm near Russell on which his family of four sons and five daughters was raised. These children and his wife survive him, and all of them now reside in Wyoming, hut still retain their old home place here. One of the daghters, Mrs. N. AI. Lauhy, was a highly esteemed resident of Nezperce for a num ber of years, prior to their de parture last fall for Wyoming. . Air.

It was by far the most successful event of the sort attempted here in recent times, and liot only the participants but tho spectators took occasion to compliment the management for the good time afforded all. The costumes were strikingly fine in many eases and one was generallv given the impression of gazing over a fancy dress hall in the city as ho viewed the good natured throng upon the floor, gliding gracefully to the very ex cellent music furnished by A. R. Larson, violinist, and Miss Blanche Rowe, pianist—and each of the twain a real .artist. Financially the dance measur ed well up to the success attain ed a,s a social function long to he pleasantly remembered, the pro moters having a fair margin of profit over the considerable ex pense incurred. Qute a pleasing and very satis fying detail of the evening's en ioyment, too, was the cafeteria luncheon served by the Women of Woodcraft in the Fraternal banquet room. The many good things found here to eat added wonderfully to the spirit that kept the revellers going until the early morning hours of a new day.
