Geo. +. CAMS, of Harper's Week
ly, will visit the mining camps of
this county shortly and write them
up for that great periodical. Some
body ought to tie string to him
when he gets here and induce him
to start an Illustrated Newspaper
in Grangeville. The field is fine
one, and there is a distressing scar
city of newspapers in this town
and county.
Mr. Crydcrman is painting a drop
curtain for the stage of the new
opera house. 1t is a lovely river
landscape scene, with timber, water,
mountains, an Indian encampment
with Indians, canoes, tcpees, etc,
wild ducks, and noble herd felix
and deer in the glade. Cryderman
has the true artistic instinct and
makes only the faintest outlines
with his pencils, and applies his
colors with a free hand by the aid
of the eye alone.
Newspapers are suspending all
over the State, and still others are
adopting the once despiscd patent
sheets and other catch-penny and
cheap.john devices to keep afloat.
In times like these the great law of
the Survival of the Fittest" gets
its deadly work in on newspapers
| just the same as it does ON members
of the human family. The weak
die, the strong survive.
Geo. w. Morrison has resigned
the management of the Lewiston
branch of the Mitchell, Lewis, Sta
yer Agricultural Implement Co.
and is simply waiting for the APP
pOintment of his successor to enter
upon the duties of cashier of the
First National bank of Julietta, in
which he is a stakeholder. Mr.
Morrison has always been as firm
and steadfast friend of Camas
Prairie as it ever had in Lewiston
and the boom we have had in the
past four years is good deal ow
ing to his efforts in advertising OH
resources and sending immigration
up this way. He has also cultiva
ted this prairie pretty thoroughly
in a business way, and is as wei
known to our people as any man il
Lewiston. We trust that dam,
fortune will continue to smile ol
t his wide awake citizen.

During their absence they hav'
been back east, up north, dow

but it requires three months to SET
it all properly. This was his frs
visit east in nineteen years aud III

section to last him forever. TIL,
: condition of the poorer classes o
labOrers back there he reports a
distressing and inconceivable to IL

as thoughtful men everywhere ar
beginning to think, that we ar

BILE to erupt at any time, and h
< tells us that Camas Prairie is tn
best country he saw on the trip.
