Cheerful Nc,cs from Lewiston.

The snow is all gone on the table
lands south of Lewiston and stock
are doing well.
Times are quiet but no one is
suffering.
The town has more cheerful
appearance since the streets have
been lighted by electric lights,
which is done by subscription.
The Normal school seems to be
laying dormant.
We have had. three street fights
in town in the past ten days.
Our board ofcounty commission
ers are in session and required all
county officers to give new bonds.
The Teller and Tribune have
had quite squabble over the pub
LEGATION of the delinquent tax list.
The Teller has county contract.
Stages from all points have had
a hard time for the past ten days
on account of heavy drifts of snow
all along the lines, but from APP
pearances the worst of it is over.
Several of our people who bought
hogs last fall at four cents are sell
ing at three and a-half; they claim
that this brings them 40 cents for
their wheat.
Several of our saloons have clos
cd on account of high license.
Squier is using his as temperance
saloon! Pretty thin, for an old
timer!
The people seem to feel easier
since the time for paying railroad
subsidies has passed. With the
present outlook for good crop
this year the chances are that we
will build Il road ourselves, but we
will not run it out by the Fraser
post office, in Shoshone county, as
your Kendrick friends propose
running their new wagon road.
Well, Parker, must bring these
remarks to close for lack of sub
iects to write about. From all l
can hear from the outside in all
directions a man ought to thank
his maker that his lot is cast in
Idaho or Nez Perez county, for us
folks south of the Clearwater sure
ly feel the hard times less than
any other section of the northwest,
and our prospects for the coming
season are hattering. The opening
of the Nez Perez reservation, and
the assurance of plenty of water in
the mining camps insures us a big
immigration, which, in a measure,
insures a home market for our pro-
duets, and old Idaho and Nez Perez,
Notwithstanding the disadvantages
they labor under in lack of trans
portation facilities, are to-day in
better shape than any other coun-
ties in the State, and am of the
opinion that some of the other

little closer to the Mossback prin.

Colgate and his family, could not
refuse her appeals; he said his party
would not return until they had
reached the spot where Colgate
was left, even if it took till spring
to accomplish it. He hopes also to
learn something from the Kend-
rick party which started up the
north fork on the 9Th Of this
month. The snow is now two feet
deep along the river here and
must be much deeper farther up
the river. This makes the progress
of the party necessarily very slow.
The topic of conversation here
abouts last week was the bold
attempt of cougar to carry off
the dog of V. Gedney who was
stopping at my cabin. On Friday
evening, Jan. l, as we were sitting
by the fire we were disturbed by
the sounds of a struggle at the
corner of the cabin. Hurrying out
side Gedney found his dog, small
shepherd, being severely handled by
what in the dark appeared to be a
dog. He rushed to the assistance
of his dog and kicked the animal
in the ribs. The beast at once
swung around facing him, when he
saw that he had kicked cougar
and cried out otis a cougar, Mac,
get the gun" ! got the gun but
in the excitement of the moment
failed to see if it was loaded. After
swapping it a couple of times / ran
back into the cabin for cartridge.
In the mean time Gedney had
picked up salmon spear leaning
against the cabin and beat the
cougar off the dog. The hungry
brute sat up facing him and lash
ing the air with its tail. 1t started
ed off, however, as / came out anC

next day the mail carrier as he

Inc attendance during the ell
tire term has been very regular in
both departments, except the last
week, when La Grippe compelled
many of the pupils to remain at
home. The interest manifested by
the pupils is shown by the progress
made by them. While some have
not advanced as rapidly as they
ought to have done, others have
made wonderful strides. The intro
duction of the new books have APP
parently retarded the most advan-
ced pupils, but only to give them
more and better ideas of the prin-
ciples involved. 1t must be deplor-
ed that the hard times have made
it necessary to curtail the time of
school. With the momentum ac-
quired in the last few months
very gratifying results could be
o b "a ned in a few additional
months. l would not do my duty
as an educator if l did not urge
upon parents and guardians the
necessity of cooperating with the
teachers by way of sending child
rem to school regularly encouraging
home study, and seeing that no
obnoxious literature is placed be-
fore their children, as it sows evil
tendencies in the minds of the
young, and also incapacitates them
for good solid and practical intel
lectual work. JACOB NERCLER,

The Apple ms an Article of Food.

From the Christian.
DR.. Stotzer Buetzer. in one of the foreign
medical reviews, writes as follows on the
medicinal and hygienic properties Of the
apple Apples eaten Immediately before
bed time promote the health generally. Its
dietetical as well as alimentary substance
is Of the highest order. 1t contains more
phosphoric acid In an easily digestible COM
bination than any other vegetable product.
1t is % good brain food; ~ excites the
functions of the livers C@ promotes sound
and quiet sleep; ID disinfects the mouth;
% agglutinates tfe surplus acids of the
stomach; 90 paralyzes hemorrhoidal dis
turbances; % helps the secretions Of the
kidneys and prevents calculus concretion;
81 obviates indigestion; and CO. Is a good
preventive against diseaSes Of the throat"
Ripe apples, raw or cooked, eaten in mod
Grafton, as food. and not stuffed down in
quantities when the stomach is already
full, are quite as good many medicines,
and vastly cheaper and more pleasant to
take. Fruit was mans first God-given food;
and while under the curse fruits often fall
and man Is forced to make use Of inferior
articles Of food, and eat his bread in the
sweat Of his face, yet 1t Is a strange Illus
tration Of human folly to see bushels Of
excellent apples rotting on the ground, while
none are seen on the owners table, and the
poor victim of a perverted appetite sits
down to feed at his ill-spread board on salt
pork, washed down with hard cider.
