folk, Va, was member of Company

preparation of $917S6 to reimburse the
state Of Idaho for ordnance stores used
in protecting government property en-
dangered by the riotous condition in
1894 incident to the movements Of
Coxey's Industrial army.
Frank Eastman, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. B. Eastman, of Boise, has made a
splendid record as trap shooter at
the sportsmen's show at Madison
Square Garden, New York. He COM
peted with the crack shots of the Unit
ed States, and was beaten by only two
points, after having made "a out of a
possible 100. He made 81 straight
shots without a miss.
A force of men is at work at Ken
drick, under Street Commissioner
Hamblin, to rebuild the dyke just above
town, which was carried away In the
January food. AS soon as the water
goes down a lot of rip-rap will be
placed on either side, strong enough
to turn all water into the Potlatch riv-
er. The Northern Pacific is also build
ing substantial grade at that place.
A postoffice has been established at
Concord, Idaho county, with James A..
Eldrige as postmaster, and special
mail service provided from the Buffalo
Office, one and half miles north. The
postoffice at Elmira, Kootenai county,
has been re-established with John C.
Grant as postmaster. The office at
Elmira is located eight miles south
west of Naples.
A. E. Frost has been appointed post
master at Cataldo, Kootnai county.
Julia Hartley has been appointed post
mistress at Landing, Oneida county.
Mary Hansen has been appointed post
mistress at Cleveland, Bannock county.
The Northern Pacific profiting by its
experience during the January floods
as a result of building it's roadbed in
the canyon bottoms, and along the
course of the streams has begun work
on new grades. The track about five
miles below Julietta, where an effort
was made to turn the channel by the
grade, which has washed out three
times in the last year and is now on
piling, will be changed to follow the
hillside, which will take the track
above the reach of high water. Camps
have been made by a large force of
men and today the surveyors were run
ming lines and getting ready for the
graders.
The traffic in secondhand permits
promises to receive setback by new
regulation which has just gone into
effect. Hereafter the back of the per-
NIT card, which heretofore contained
only the signature of the owner, will be
filled out with a detailed statement of
his personal appearance, height, COM
plexion, color of hair, eyes, etc.
With 5000 permits outstanding, the
change would be valueless unless it was
made retroactive, SO all the old permits
will be taken up and new ones supplied
in their stead. AS long as men are at
work in a mine their cards are all on
file with the employing company, so
that the alteration can be made on fully
$500 of them at once.
Thousands of fruit trees, principally
winter apples, are being set out in the
locality around Troy this spring. Past
experience has demonstrated that the
winter apple is by far the greatest mon
ey maker for fruit growers. Orch
ards show indications of heavy crop.
The land case of Ira Sperry versus
John HERES, involving 100 acres of
land at the mouth of the Big Canyon
on the Clearwater river, has been de-
cided by the secretary of the interior
in favor of Herrres.
