canvassed awhile for patronage enough
to get out a boom edition of the North
west Magazine for Camas Prairie anC

agement. The fact is, tina. with the Ag
ricultural Experiment station, the cour
house project, the forthcoming Fourth
of July celebration, and the sundry sub
scriptions for various purposes that ar
always circulating, the citizens O
Grangeville feel that they have thei
hands full and do not feel at liberty l.
assume additional burdens at this juno
ture. Mr.. Greene realised that he ha
: struck us at an inopportune time an
will visit us later. The Northwest Mag
azine is no catchpenny affair, and ou
people can patronise 1t with the know
, ledge assured them that they will ge
I what they pay for. Mr.. Greene wa
delighted with the country and wit
/ the location of our town, and he ez
pressed himself freely that Grangevill
/ would unquestionably make the larges
town in the whole of central Idaho if il
citizens only realised and utilised in
liberal and progressive spirit the gres
] natural advantages which surround it.
