to death.
There should have been a schoo
meeting last Saturday, but under mis-.
taken idea that the old officers would
hold over the meeting went by default
The county superintendent will appoint
board of directors. What is the mat
ter with John Squires for clerk, and DR..
Webb, Fl. Jackson and VIM. Vedder for
directors?
L. L. Wright was trying a traction
engine for J. N. Price, last Tuesday, and
while going up Alder street he ran the
engine on the sidewalk which broke, pre-
cipitating both engine and engineer to
the bottom of the grade, distance of
five feet. The engine was somewhat
damaged but, happily, Mr.. Wright es-
capped unhurt.
The Palace Hotel. which is now
nearly completed, is indeed an ornament
to the town and reflects much credit on
the enterprise of Mr.. True. WE are glad
to note that it is doing large business
which is not only gratifying to the pro-
prietor but also to the citizens who real
ne that town is judged by its hotels,
and that the spirit and business Of a
town can be determined from the amount
of its hotel patronage.
J. A. Wilkinson made q trip to the
Kaufman mine, on Knatt creek, in La
tab county, Idaho, last Sunday. He
owns an interest in that valuable mine
which is now Icing developed. The nee
essary machinery is on the ground and
work will commence at once in turning
out ore. Another ledge belonging to
the same company has been discovered,
which appears to be equal to the old one.
The boys have a good thing in this
property.
John S. Lindsay's dramatic CONF a
ny played "Richeheu" last Saturday
evening, in the opera house to large
audience. With the exception Of seen
cry the presentation was equal to any
metropolitan play. Mr.. Lindsay is a
splendid actor. 1t will be seen by ad-
vertisement in another column that he
will play the Lady Of Lyons" at Pull
man, next Thursday evening. Persons
desiring to see a first-class play well
plaved will not fail to hear him.
Over ninety-fve per cent. of men
engaged in specializing in wheat, where
they make the markets of the world a
study, sooner or later come to grief.
How, then. can farmers speculate with
out losing money? The practice that
prevails among farmers throughout the
northwest of holding wheat for rise IN
the marketi does not add to the farmers
profits taking it in a series Of years. If
the farmer is in debt, as a majority gen
orally are, they are doing their creditors
an injustice by specializing with their
money.
Moscow G. A. r. post held a grand
.'boan bake last Saturday, and among
other attractions was that of voting for
the handsomest young lady in the city.
The honor fell to Miss May Mcconnell.
Miss May has many friends in Pullman
who are glad to know that Moscow
people are in their right senses. But we
would like to ask the Star what has be
come of the pretty girls it had SO much
to say about lately that they would let
young lady just from Pullman capture
the prize?
1t is strange how careless people II
the West are, as a rule, in buying real
estate. They will rely on the statement
of the seller that the title is perfect
while the majority of sellers know nc
more about their titles than the purchas
ers. There is too much money at stake
to be careless in such matters. Before
purchasing the buyer should insist on ar
abstract OF title and should have the alb,
stract examined by an attorney and pro
nounced perfect before he pays dollar
for the property. If this were done IL
every case much trouble and expense
would be saved.
