That the state lands Of Idaho are
recognized as valuable is evidenced by
the recent sales by Mr. G. B. Steuuen-
berg of the state land department. On
Monday he opened . sale at Moscow.
The sale was conducted in the court room
and the large room was crowded to its
utmost capacity by prospective purchaser.
The work began at 10 in the morning
and closed at 4 in the evening when 4aOo
acres were disposed Of aud $6S.4oo were
added to the state funds. This gave IN
average valuation per acre Of oyer $I6.
In the lot was 20 acre tract which
brought $1,000 and. one 10 acre tract
which went for $5ao. All the lands sold
are in Latah county. The Idaho and
Nez Perce county land sac will not take
place until January 10. There ID 1t
present an unprecedented demand for
agricultural lands. The state land de-
partment is allowed by law to dispose Of
only Is 900 acres annually and the agent
declares he could dispose offully ~ much
more at good 6gures. l

posed Of for $I5o.ooo. The cruisers are

The Mud.

1t is all a mistake about the looseness
of the soil in the Lewiston valley absorb
ing water as fast as it is applied. This is
fully demonstrated by the present condi-
tons Of the streets and alleys. For two
or three weeks there have been slight
showers, and as there is no waterproof
roof over the city, the water reached the
ground. 1t did not find its way down
and could not again 60 up; hence when
the water and soil mixed, mud resulted.
The depth of the mud varies. In some
places it is just right to soil polished
shoes and in other places a battle ship
could foat in safety-notably the streets
leading to the depot and Main street 10
the court house.
But we only see mud about two months
out Of the calendar year and hence. we ap-
preciate it just as we do The Fourth Of
July. Thanksgiving or Christmas. It isa
hreak in the monotony Of the long months
Of sunshine and drought. when man
may stand for seven long hours with
garden hose in his hand and not see
drop Of water strike the earth about him..
The mud Of today insures pretty lawn

we would care to conjecture. Don't
swear at at the mud; It Is . blessing in

CALLS A HALT
While the Senator Wants the
Rstrosrade Movement to Pro-
ceed Rapidly.

There's many slip 'twixt cup and
lip" Senator Heit6eld realizes this now
more than ever before in life. Because
of the high position given him by the
voters Of the peoples party in the days
when it stood alone and made honorable
warfare with its political enemies, the
senator's head became swollen. He grew
to believe that he was the whole thing,
and held the Pops in the hollow of his
hand and could play with them 40 cat
would with mouse. But he was mis-
taken.
A a few days since he wrote letter to
Chairman Andrews, urging that gentle
man to call meeting and declare the
peoples party dead. Andrews, it appears.
Is no fool, and knows living thing from
dead one. Tomorrow Mr.. Andrews
makes his reply to Senator Heit6eld's
proposition to kill the peoples party.
Andrews will say he is no butcher and
will give the senator "solar plexus"
jab that will put him out Of business for
all time to come.
This attempt Of the senator to feed the
peoples party into the capacious maw Of
democracy. noted for swallowing any old
thing that will give it Office, Is colos
sal political blunder on his part. 1t de-
stroys his only hope of being returned.
It destroys fusion. And even il the
democrats should succeed in capturing
the legislature next November unier the
Infamous gerrymander. Heitfeld will
have to 60 just the same.
Republicans are the only ones who
wear smile today.

1t was 1 o'clock in the morning, says
New York Life.
In the deepest shadow of the piazza
of the little suburban villa in which
our story opens sat two burglars, earn
estly discussing the affair that had
brought them hither. A light in one
of the upper windows, which had only
just been eXtinguished, had made them
postpone for a while their attempt, and
this delay had given the first burglar
an opportunity to ask his partner the
circumstances which had led to this
particular graft.
THE lady who occupies this house"
whispered the second burglar, has
$40, 900 in cash. She drew it out of the
bank yesterday, and tomorrow she will
turn it over to the old and trusted
friend of her late husband
who is he?" asked the first burglar.
Hes an old cove they've known all
their lives. He's going to advise her
how to invest her money. In the mean
time, she's got it all upstairs with her
in a black bag"
The first burglar was silent for
while.
Jim" he said at last. II haven't
the heart to do it. She's widow. Let's
wait"
Wait" exclaimed the second bur-
glar. For what?"
why" said his companion, wait
until the old cove has it. Then rob
him."
