ED. TELLER.-The court house here
is not only an ornament to Idaho
county, and great convenience to
the people, but it bespeaks pride on
the part of her citizens that would he
we'll for the people of Nez Perez coun-
ty to emulate. The building is two
story wood, 40x55 feet, with apart ,
ment for the court and its different
officers. Over the bench and bar is i
suspended large life like portrait of
the late Judge Clark, appearing as if,
about to render decision or make a.
suggestion. There is great degree of
good taste and judgement exhibited on
the part of the people here in the fur
nishing and finishing of their county
buildings. The atmosphere in Mt.
Idaho is as usual at this season of the
year, cool and lovely. The grain and
timothy have very healthy appear
ance, and in the absence of the grass
hopper raid, crops will yield abundant
ly. The amount Of acreage sown over
last year, promises large yield and it
is presumed, it will more than supply
the usual demand. The general ap-|
pearances of this country at this season.
lacks that scared and burnt cast sd
common to that section adjacent to-
Lewiston. The fruit crop from pres
ent indications in this neighborhood
will be large, and as general circum1
stance eggs, butter and other such pro-
duce are not ever abundant and al
ways bring high price. Lumber is
selling at about the same price here as
at Lewiston, and we notice many
large farms on the prairie have been
fenced with lumber Browns hotel is
the only hotel in the city and well cal
) culated to attract the hungry traveller
Everything connected with the hotel
breathes an air of invitation. II
