the surrounding country are present
In Standpoint today, and Judging by
numbers one cannot help but be forci-
bly, impressed with the fact that Odd
Fellowship is rapidly gaming ground In
the northern part OF Kootenai county.
Mrs. J. +. Yost was Rathdrum
visitor over Sunday.
Fresh and ripe are those bananas at
the Postoflice store.

East side is about completed.
The Republican job printing depart
ment this week turned out 20OO circu-
lars printed in two colors. describing
Kootenai county's varied and immense
res )urces, for the enterprising real es-
tate firm Of Wilson & Shef1ield at
Rathdrum. The circular is 6-page
folder and contains just such matter
as the homeseeker is looking for. The
statements are conservative and to
the point, and it is our opinion that
too many such circulars cannot he
distributed. Wilson & Shefsieid's cx-
ample is well worthy OF emulation by
at least one firm in every town In
Kootenai county.
Most complete assortment OF stat
