Mr.. G. w. Hinkle is back from

whole country on the flat of it's

bushel, but those who are buying
offer only % cents in cash, which
will not pay the cost of harvesting
and sacks. Mr.. Hinkle is large

Frank G. White was up from the
north fork of Clearwater, where he
has been loging all summer, last
week and gave the +. P. shop a
pleasant call. He returned next
day to Southwick, which will be
his post-office for the winter. He
knows something of the experien-
ces Of the Carlin party, and if all
we hear from q variety of other
sources are true, that outfit was
the most inhuman gang which ever
wore the garb of civilized human
beings. Their adventures happened
on the Loksah fork of Clearwater
in this county and are as fit SUBJ
jects for investigation by the next
grand jury as anything which ever
happened.
