GLOW many kinds of language are
there?" asked the teacher in one of
the departments in the Weiser pub
lie school. 1.-TWO; spoken and di-
gestive, replied the kid.
AS evidence of the law-abiding
qualities Of tits county, the county
Jail has not had an occupant since
the Coxey men were discharged five
or six months ago Washington and
Custer are the only counties in the
state that have no prisoners at the
penitentiary.
The word "scrooch' hasn't found
its way into the lexicon with which
we are acquainted, yet it is impress
i've. When a school boy the other
day said, professor Wolfe is good
to the good boys, but he makes the
bad boys scrooch, you bet we I'M
derstand that the professor caused
the spinal column of the bad boy to
curve.
Cases of financial loss through
lack of proper advertising are to be
found almost every day. A few days
ago a well broke, magnificent span
of work horses of about 1900 each
were sold for $50 If they had been
properly advertised, there is no
doubt that 500 could have been OBJ
tanned for them even in these hard
times, and under ordinary condition
would have brought $50 The hol-
idays call to mind that a year ago
there was barrel of cranberries
for sale at retail in Weiser but it was
not advertised, and Horace Newman,
Mr. Klmball and a number of Others
sent to Payette for cranberries, not
knowing there were any here.
A strange man named White was
run over by freight train near Olds
Ferry last Friday and ground tc
shreds. A coroner's jury summoned
from Weiser eXhonerated the railroad
from blame. 1t was found that the
man had been staying at Huntington
and was deaf and lame. The trail
came around a curve suddenly anC
his back being to it he did net hea
the danger rushing upon him. M
doubt, when it was too late, he fel
the roar of doom, and as the grea
monster grappled him there was per
haps time enough for a second of re
alization, for one flash of horror t
freeze his soul, quick followed by
flash into oblivion. The chunks wer
gathered up and brought to Weise
where they were buried.
1t seems that something must t
wrong by the number of complaint
we hear that 'you can't get anythin
YOU want in this town. That thel
is some truth IN the complaints, v
know from experience We trie
once for six months to buy pair ,
sleeve holders and then got them OF
day at Payette. We have lost Ina
dozen pencils out of our pocket b
cause a pencil holder can not be hs
> in the town. A roll of building p
per was wanted-none in town-se
to the towns up the short line
couldn't get any. Finally we ft
back on Salubria and secured a re
by stage from Denny & Swanstror
Hereafter if we can't get what ,
want IN Salubria, we will send
" Council or the Meadows.
= John Robertson spent few da
in the county seat waiting for |
wife, who arrived Tuesday from
: visit to California. John is inten
ing to stay on his Crane creek ran
this winter, in fact has been there
70 some time, leaving the manageme

to tends to retire from the paper entii
