J etter from Grangeville.

GRANGEvILLE, July 20.
ED. TELLER:-The city of Grange
vile is city which has sprung up on
Camas Prairie, from the necessity of
things. Mt. Idaho being too remote
on the prairie from the business center
to he a good commercial point. This
city is being built ON more advanta-
geous grounds and is more accessible
for the farmers than is Mt. Idaho.
The facAit es for general exchange are
as good if not hotter than those at Mt.
Idaho, and from outward indications
it is receiving a good share of the bus
mess of this section. The country
around Graugeville is as we'll adapted
to farming and stock raising as any
country in the United States. Near
ly every one of the farmers have more
or less live stock and the business of
horse raising is becoming profitable
business with them. A large mer-
chandise store is to be built in this
city during the coming Summer by j.
Alexander Of Lewiston, in which he
will display large stock of general
merchandise. 1t has good schools, a
good hall for church purposes, STORES, a
blacksmithshop, butcher-shop, drug
house, assay Office, good hotel, and
what is better than all elseit has with
in and around it class of active en-
terprising business men. The Rev.
Mr.. hall has now one of the hest con-
Quoted schools found in North Idaho,
with large attendance of scholars
and good recommendation Of his ef-
forts is apparent i'll the high estima-
ton in which his manner of conduct
ing the school is held both by the
CT liens and by the scholars of the
prairie Would that such uniform
good feeling was exhibited by more
districts of North Idaho and more
general u. Outstanding manifest by the
people throughout the country some
ching after the uanner Of this people
of Grangeville in their public school
enterprise. The Grange grist mill is
another distinct feature of the thrift
and business pluck Of this same people
The farmers have associated together
and constructed grist mill that is ca
pahle of supplying the surrounding
country with good article of flour at
very moderate price. The buildings
and stores at Grangeville are clean
and neat in outward appearance and
the stores are regulated with a great
deal of taste in their different depart
ments. A striking feature of beauty
is the orchard and garden of Mr.
Crooks. He has certainly as fine an
orchard of fruit growing trees as can
ne found in the country, considering
their age and the length of time since
the settling up of the prairie. All
things considered, Grangeville has,
indeed, promising future and not
very far distant day will verify this
fact. r.
