year. a large appropriation has been
set aside by congress for that purpose.
Many settlers will come in to secure
claims on this valuable table land.
CANVAS PRAIRIE.
Cottonwood Butte is the highest ele-
walton Of the Craig mountain table
lands, and it marks the dividing line
between this and the Camas Prairie
country. From this slight eminence
the whole of the broad expanse of the
prairie country can be seen, comprising
whole townships of the most fertile soil
in America. Camas. Prairie is thirty
miles long by twenty miles wide,
which makes it the largest tract o.
agricultural land lying in one body in
the State of Idaho. The Prairie may
between the Salmon and Clearwater
rivers. These streams run parallel to
each other, the Salmon on the south
and the Clearwater on the north and
east. The distance between them, at
the nearest point, is thirty miles.
These rivers run through deep canyons
and the Prairie is reached from them
by way of the creeks, which head on
the Prairie and flow to the rivers.
The topography Of the country is that
of Il gently rolling plairie. The bed
rock is basalt, of volcanic origin, and it
is covered by "a deep, rich, loam soil,
upon which all kinds of crops are
raised in great abundance and of the
very finest quality. 1he bed rock is
porous and underground streams of
water run through it, Well water is
obtained at depths varying from ten to
sixty feet.
Owing to the temporary absence of a
certain market for their products, the
residents of Camas Prairie are largely
engaged in stock raising and therefore
the pursuit of agriculture is a second
AIRY consideration. Nearly everybody
has cattle, horses and hogs to SELL and
the sale of surplus stock is annually
increasing. The sales for 1890 aggre-
gated $4,000. Stock growing is, in
deed, the principal industry of Idaho
county, and very nearly one-half of
its taxable property is found in its
herds of live stock.
A. +. Parker, of Grangeville Free
Press, thus expresses his admiration for
this climate in his issue of last week:
This is the time of the year when we
enjoy living in Lewiston. That town
has Il lovely climate-far superior to
the Los Angeles brand. The high hills
which surround Lewiston deprive the
damp winter winds of their moisture
by tiiterng the air, and per contra, the
hot breeZes of the summer are tempered
by absorbing moisture from its rivers.
Its climate, even in the depth of win
ter, is more enjoyable, more health re-
storing and -prolonging than in
summer. Little dream the inhabitants
of the frigid plains east of the Rocky
mountains Of the smooth and genial eli
mate Of the future great town of the
glorious Clearwater country, where
ploughing is done eleven months in the
year; where billiards. are unknown and
mercury does not freeze in the bulb,
but kindly zephyrs, laden with the
warmth and fragance Of the south
west, blow kindly, breathing in every
month of the year its balmy influence
over prairie and mountain and forest,
like unto breath of spring.

Ii HoodOOed One House and Is Now
Operating on Another.

A gentleman recently spent about 81
900 in refurnishing part of his residence.
When the furniture was selected the clerk,
anxious to show his appreciation, asked if
the gentleman would accept an ornamen-
tai peacock as a present. The gentleman
said he would. The peacock certainly
was a highly ornamental affair with body
of brass aud a tail of genuine peacock
feathers more gorgeous and ~varlegatcd
than a rainbow. The gentleman was
quite proud Of his present aud had it con
spicuouslY displayed in his parlor. From
the IN the proud bird entered the
house. however. everything seemed to go
wrong. At the house trifing but annoy
ing accidents we're frequently happening
while at the gentlemsn's store trade fell
off and none of the clerks could take hold
of any fragile article without SCATTERING it.
DO you know what's the natter"
asked a friend. Those peacock feathers
bring bad luck. The gentleman smiled
in a superior way until he reached the
postofice. There he found a letter from
the foreman of his ranch informing him
of the death OF two valuable horses with
out any apparent cause There seemed
to be a hoodoo on him sure enough and
after studying the matter over he re-
turned the brilliant peacock to the furni-
ture store with the information that he
didn't need it in his business.
Some days later another gentleman
bought a lot of furniture at the same estab-
lishment and the obliRing salesman threw
IN the peacock Tor good measure. The
house furnisher was exceedingly glad to
get it and had it carried home at once and
triumphantly displayed in his parlor.
Dinner wa still in progress when the ser
want. with a lock of terror on her face, in
formed her mistress that she would be
obliged at once to give up her situation.
As she had only been employed since the
previous day the reason was naturally
asked. II can't work in no house where
theY'ye got any peacock feathers. They're
unlucky, was the reply. The servant
was allowed to depart as the gentleman
was still en%raptured with his peacock, but
as things have not been coming his way
lately, although not superstitous. his
mind is about made up to give the pretty
bird to some one whose friendship he
doesn't care to longer enjoy.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-05-14

The free delivery system, proposed
last week by the TRIBUNE, is hearty en-
dorsed by the business men and resi-
dents. The Progress and Plain Speaker
promptly seconded the TRIBUNE's plea,
the former stating that free delivery is
good" and the p. NJ. is with the citizens
in trying to procure it, The Speaker also
says Freeland is entitled to a trial of the
system, and its editor highly compli-
ments the people of this town. He says
Freeland is live town with good
share of live people in it, and there is no
doubt that the system of free postal deliv-
cry could be maintained in keeping
with the regulation of the Post Office
Department. Freeland is town which
has attained its present thrift and prog
ress through the energy, thrift and in
telligense of its pioneers. 1t must not be
forgotten that Freeland was opened into
town by men who had little more than
their brains and sinew to help them
along. They were nearly all poor men
ten years ago, and now it is pleasure to
step into our neighboring borough, and
see comparatively large and well regu-
lated town, where ten years ago there
were only few scattered houses and
poorly defined streets. Other towns
have grown more rapidly, of course, but
they have been built by monied men and
spectators, but Freeland was built by
the blood and sweat of most of its pres
ent inhabitants. Yes give it free deliv-
cry, for, for the give it anything it asks
people are made of the material that
generally backs up all requests.
