Steel Safe has been here several days and
has made some sales. He claims superi.
ority for the Detroit safe over the Hall safe
in many particulars. We do not know that
the Detroit safe has been thoroughly tested /
in this vicinity. but from the manner of its
build and the material of which it is made,
it certainly promises as largely as does the
Hall safe. Mr. Spencer is liberal in his terms
and guarantees his safes to be equal liz pro-
lection against fires with any other safe in
use.
We know that money is scarce among |
farmers, but the newspaper man feels the
pressure as much as any one and we think
we have lawful claim upon our patrons to
make some provision to adjust accounts that
have been of long standing on the books Of
the TELLER. We believe that each subscrib
TT has more than received double the sub
scription price of his paper already, and we
are not ashamed to remind him of the fact
that lie should make provision to meet his
account with cash.

The North Idaho citizens living east of
Pennington seem to have been hoodwinke ed
IN o the belief that if they supported Mos
cow for county seat this year. then when an
ncxation takes place Pennington can get
another county seat, by Moscow's aid. Even
friends Truax. Harrington and Stratton, Of
Pennington, became deluded with this
dream. They were counting on Moscow S
boosted strength to lie able to parcel out
county seats, as person would divide up
candy with children. 1t is not little sur
prising to notice how tame and docile these
Moscow champions have become since the
first week in June. A single lesson of ex-
perience works wondrous change.
The sermon last Sabbath morning, by Rev.
pr. Lindsay, of Portland, was highly appre-

showed that to everyone are presented OPP
portunities of usefulness, and that We are re

our power. The illustr atoms were very apt

, was being presented. In the afternoon, at

K wife may visit us again soon.
