A gentleman named Moore, a partner
of assayer Butler arrived here from Se-

Hawley Wickha of Fairview brought
us in bunch of fall sown wheat that
looks splendid and will yield fifty BUSH
els per acre. The stand is fine and does
not need rain. He also showed us
bunch of spring eown wheat which
needs rain badly 1t is evident that fall
grain does best in this region.
The f. P. is always getting things
wrong. Last week the agricultural ed
itor said this was an off year for straw
berries, W hile the fact is they were never
80 plentiful, large and luscious. The
agricultural editor attempted to raise
his own wberries this year and be.
! cause his crop 'fizzled' he jumped to the
conclusion that other folks did likewise.
Andrew Bensching, who died at Mt.
Idaho last Thursday, was an old-timer
in Idaho county and left two children,
Albert Bensching of White Bird and
Mrs. H.C. Brown of Mt. Idaho. The
old gentleman resided at White Bird
and the day before his death he ex-
pressed desire to see his daughter, so
he was taken to Mt. Idaho, where he
died the next day aged "a years. The
remains were inferred at Keuteryille
last Saturday. Peace to his ashes.
A good many men are soundly cursing
the commissioners for being mossbacks
| and opposing the construction of county
| roads; but, gentlemen, the commission
ers are bound hand and foot by the
statutes of the state and they can not
transgress the law for any purpose how
ever laudable. Personally they would
! be glad to assist the enterprises which
! demand attention, but in their official
| capacity they are compelled to abide by
| the law as they find it. None of us in
similar positions of public trust would
authorize the expenditure of several
| thousand dollars of public money for
any purpose unless we were well assured
that the public at large desired the ex-
penditure and would sustain us In
authorizing it. The officials must be
just before they are generous" with the
public funds.
