DIR. A: H. Julian, who visited
Grangeville some two years since,
writes US from GAINESVILLE, Lassen
county, Calf, to send him the
FREE PRESS. He says: "The
more I think of your beautiful
country, the more / desire to re-

On May l the Lewiston stage
schedule will be changed 80 as to

of Ayers Cathartic Pills. They
cause the stomach, liver, and
bowels to perform their functions
properly, and not debilitate, by
excessive stimulation, and are not
irritating in their action. AS an

ladies to bear in mind that if they
take gentle course of Ayers
Sarsaparilla in the spring, they
will have no trouble with "prickly
heat" "hives," "sties," "boils," or
"black heads" when summer
comes. Prevention is better than
cure.

The drowning of Wilson Jen-
nings and John Herman Jr., in
; Snake river, mentioned in these
columns some weeks since, occurred
a short distance below the mouth of
Imnaha creek, and was caused by
the capsizing of the boat. They
were moving camp in an old skiff,
and had proceeded but a short dis
tance from the Idaho side when
the skiff was caught in a whirl-
pool, and being heavily loaded soon
sank with all ON board. The men
I. were residents of Wallowa county,
v and were well known in Idaho.

The North Idaho Horticultural
Association at a recent meeting in
Lewiston requested us to publish
= the fact that trees affected with
: pests are being shipped into the
!. country and that purchasers should
not receive them until they have
been examined by the official in
spector, as they are both to be con-
Q demned and destroyed. It was
also the wish of the organization
. that people be cautioned about
paying high prices for nursery
stock to foreign agents. Figures
J were poduced to show that the
D. best prunes and plums could be
v bought for from two to five cents
n each, pears s cents, apples 6 cents,
e cherries 6 cents. Everything else
