WHO GAVE DEEDS2
The Question Answered in d
Way That Cannot be
Misunderstood.

! Hon. L, p Brown has given
deeds to all purchasers of Cot
tonwood town property and
thereby reiuted the ISLANDERS OF
his enemies. -Free Press, Oct. 27.
We surmise that we are the
sianderous enemies alluded to in
the above paragraph. If our in
ferenceis correct, We beg the
privilege Of asking, the Free
Press to quote some of our SLAM
derous language. If we have
maliciously DETAINED the fair
character of 'The proprietor of
Cottonwood," we would like for
the Sunday school organn to
show us tip. On the contrary,
we believe our write up, of the
"Noble pioneers" will bear in
spection lit was but recital Of
faetsj and, although given in d
somewhat caustic style. was the
one thing needed to bring the
Hon. l., P. to time.
Witness it's effects: On Sept.
II, Mr., Brown came to Cotton
wood, and, with presumptuous
assurance, asked our citizens to
wait on him fourteen months
longefj our article appeared, and
behold, in less than six weeks,
the deeds arrive. 1t was good
medicine and brought relief In
short order.
1T does not fequiTe a thagnifys
ing glass to detect an ERROR in
the above quotation. It's slight
ly lame. In fact, it Varies some
what from accuracy. l.. P.
Brown has not given deeds, but
John pfotter has. Try again,
Brother Parker, you shot wide
Of the mark this time.
The persistent support and
praise OF such men as L 7.
Brown, has been "a chief factor
in developing the sterling repu-
of the Editor Of the Free Press.
If l.. P, Brown and John
Proctor will lift the mortgage on
the Brown addition, and give d
clear and unencumbered title I'd
tn il town lots, we will believe
they are acting in good faith and
viii give them credit through
the Report.

CLEARWATER.
A Brief Description of the
Fertile Clearwater Coun-
try by Rob Roy.

Some time since we promised
the readers of the REPORT an ar
ticle on that part of Idaho Coun-
ty known az the Clearwater
Country"
"A large percent Of the citi-
zens Of Camas Prairie have never
visited this part of Idaho, and
to them we essay this writing.
The country known as "Clear-
water comprises all that part of
the Clearwater Valley lying
East of the South Fork from the
River to the foothills of the
Bitter Root Mountains and
stretching northwanl from the
jackson bridge to the Lolo; a
distance Of about twenty miles
on an air line, where it borders
what is known as the N'ieppe
Country, and has an area OF
about one hundred square miles.
The altitude is much less than
that OF the Prairie, being only
about twenty-five hundred feet
above sea level, hence the chi
nook winds seldom strike it.
In the vicinity of jackson
Bridge the formation is granite.
Fruit and vegetables grow in
abundance and grain natures
well, The upland is covered
with scattering pine and the bot
tom lands with thick growth
of fir.
Wall Creek is the first stfeam
North Of the bridge, and it affords
plenty of water to run a small
turbin wheel IN midsummer.
Up near the foothills at the Wall
ranch is a saw mill where rough
lumber can be had fof ten and
rustic and matched flooring Tor
twenty-five dollars a thousand.
Nearly mile below this and on
the new wagon road is a shingle
mill in course Of construction.
About mile North of the Wall
ranch is another saw mill on

From Wall Creek nofthward
to Rabbit Greek the formation is
mostly basalt and supports
good growth of pine timber with
thickets of cefvice, hard-hack
and small frs bordering the
foothills. Rabbit Greek furnish
es a good flow of water in The
Spring but during the Summer
season it dries up in places.
Between Rabbit Greek and
Clear Creek is table land from
a mile to a mile and a half in
the middle and reaches from the
mountains to the mouth of the
South Fork of Clearwater where
it empties into the Middle Fork
Of Clearwater or Koosakoos- kie
River. The formation is basalb

of water to run heavy machinery

CAPTURED the IScIlLnE LsImnda.


Some days back, there WAS launched
from Clydesidc yard sailing vessel
built TO the order of Clunles Ross, the
proprietor OF the Keeling or Cohoes
islands. His eldest son, Clunies Ross,
Jr.. is at present residing in Glasgow,
looking after. the Quitting of the YES
sci, which is destined for trading pur-
poses in the Indian ocean. The history
of the acquisition of the Keeling
islands. as related by the Edinburgh
Dispatch, forms chapter of Il romance
equal to any within the two covers of
book of adventure. Far out in the
Indian ocean. and lying about half way
between Calcutta and Melbourne. and
some 800 miles southwest of lava, the
Keeling islands form n group of about
n dozen coral atolls, with n climate OF
the finest description. In the early
days of the present century Clunies
Ross, a native of Sound of Wiesdale,
Shetland, entered the royal navy. After
going through some queer adventures.
during which he left the navy, he found
himself captain of privatccr which
sailed the Indian ocean. preying upon
trading vessels. In the course of his
expedition he came across the Keeling
islands, landed his crew, and found the
natives hospitable and quiet in their
islands, making them a place of call
where he could disembark his men oc-
casionally and obtain fresh provisions.
Leaving behind him an EnglShman TO
act as sort of lieutenant in his absence,
the Shetland adventurer put to sea ON
another cruise. When he returned he
found his lieutenant had seized the
reins of power and had won over
minoroty of the Alalays to his side.
Ross landed his crew and obtained tho
aid of the larger portion of the island
ers. A desperate battle cnsucd and
only ceased with the determination OF
the lieutenant and his supporters. Ross
then assumed the sole control of the
islands, elected himself chief and mar
ried n Malay woman. His son. how
ever, married an English woman, and
their eldest son, the present chief, is
welded to n Malay. Their eldest Ron,
Clunies Ross. is hcir-apparcnt, "a to
speak, and was sent over to Scotland
to be properly educated. A few years
ago Clunies Ross entered Edinburgh
university and attended classes which
would give an all-round education. He
was dillgent student, and in the even
| ings studied ut the Heriot-Watt college

Shetland and the parish where his
grandfather had been brought up.

Fashionable Woman.
People who expect to go among the
sort of boys known in the city rs
''toughs' and still retain their dignity
immaculate will do well to prepare for
disappointment. Pollteness and good
humor are excellent qualifications for
such encounters. but not the stiffness
and loneliness of those who cannot
endure n lack OF formal courtesy on
the part of others.
A young lady, the daughter of a
wealthy financier, had succeeded with
infinite trouble in persuading her father
TO assist at an entertainment in her
fayoritc club. He was an amateur

around a billiard table Saturday night,
entities you to a little rest on Sabbath

Extend your legs as far under the
pew as you can without sliding on the

your mouth with your hand while
yawning during the sermon. II the

Suddenly the Marquise Sansedoni
stood before them, tall, dark, scowling,
terrible, and when the little vicomtesse
had recovered herself n little, the ltal-

demanded:

Even the marquise could not repress

Then the smile disappeared, her eyes
