Other parts of the county have similar cause for celebration and more barbe- cues will probably be held

Green Creek Hold Up.

Word reached here yesterday
that the Green Creek store, be-
longing to Barney Stubbers, was
robbed Monday evening. 1t was
shortly after dark and nobody was
in the store except Mr.. Stubbers
when a man entered and at the
point of revolver compelled him
to open the safe which contained
about 800. While the safe was
being opened Mr.. -Stubbcrs' hired
man in and taking in the situation
appeared not to notice what was
going ON, but went quietly up
stairs where he knew there was a
shotgun. He found the gun but
no ammunition and in the mean
time the robber had secured the
money and made his escape. How
ever, in the rush to get away he
dropped s40O and did not wait to
recover it.
The robber is described as being
about six feet tall and weighing
fully 200 pounds. He wore a
black handkerchief over his face
and his features could not be re-
cognized. No trace of the man has
so far been discovered.

Toll Road Open.

Charles Goode has the distinction
of being the first man to come to
town from Tahoe ridge on horse
back over the new road. He made
the trip saturday and since that
time the Tahoe, people have been
"hitting the trail' coming and go
ing. Before the first of the year
the Kooskia-Tahoe route will cease
to be trail. Instead it will be
one of the best wagon roads in
Idaho and the people of the Tahoe
country feel elated at the prospects
of being able to hitch up and drive
to town over road as hard and as
level as a cedar block pavement.
They are all well pleased with the
way in which contractor Perry
handled the work, and he is GER
tainly deserving of much credit.
The opening of this road marks
new era in the development of
rich agricultural district here
tofore hampered for want of an
outlet. The farmers of the Tahoe
country, in the main. are indus
trious, and to use "a western phrase
are not afraid to "dig." From
now on we expect to see Tahoe
ridge making rapid strides to the
front, which also means much for
Kooskia, the natural trading point
for that section.-Kooskia Mount

SCHOOL LAND
SOLD HIGH
Fifty FOrty-ACre Tracts Now Belong to
Individuals.
$40 TO $S5 PER ACRE is PAID
From Two to Six Bidders For
Every Tract Offered.
$40 TO $35 PER ACRE is PAID

The sale of state school lands
which took place here last Satur-
day was most spirited contest
and showed conclusively that
farmers are beginning to appreci-
ate the true value of Camas
Prairie soil. Norman Jackson,
chief clerk of the land board, con-
Quoted the sale and T. II. Bartlett
acted as clerk. In all fifty forty
acre tracts were sold at prices
ranging from SO to S36 per acre.
There was a number of bidders in
every case and in several instances
the price was run up beyond that
for which improved land could
have been bought in the same
neighborhOod. The easy pay
ments on which this land is sold
and it's exemption from taxes for a
period of years is a great induce
ment to purchasers, and in a
country like this where crops
never fail, there will be little
trouble experienced in meeting the
payments. The following We're
among the purchasers:

Surrounded by their children, grand

fiftieth anniversary of that event was
fttingly celebrated Wednesday, even

Many of Mr. and Mrs Stones friends
and neighbors called between the hours
of and s, to congratulate them on

and membranes. The five children
of Mr. and Mrs Stone, Miss Cornelia

as four OF their five grandchildren.
One grandson, Ammon Green, of

decorations directly over their heads.
Refreshments were served the guests

Berkshire is little village very
pleasantly situated in the eastern part
of Newtown, about three miles from
the Center, in small valley Through
which runs brook. On this brook
there are two water privileges.
The water from the upper dam is
carried, by means of long ditch, COM
pletely past the lower one, so that the
latter is of no use in dry weather. BY
this means the upper dam forms the
greater fall, and is the best water
privilege in town, having stood eight
years without being obliged to stop for
want of water.
1t drives two Comb shops, the But
ton works, Machine shop, and a Hat
Finishing shop, with insurance on the
building for Grist Mill.
Curtis and Warmers Comb shop is
the only complete one in town, in
which the combs are all made, finished,
and packed, and the paper boxes made
in the same shop for packing them IN.
Besides the above, the place contains
a hat shop, where wool hats are made
into all sizes, and sold to all who wish
to buy; one store, in which all kinds of
confectioneries, Yankee notions, cake,
beer, and few groceries, are kept for
sale; There is larger store in process
of erection), shoe shop, where boots
and shoes are made and repaired to
order; and tannery, which is in every
way calculated to manufacture leather
to the best advantage. This is now
unoccupied, the late proprietor having
closed up his business and gone to Cal
ifornia, and the place is now open for
sale or to rent. The mill for grinding
bark is driven by water power at the
lower dam.
The place is supplied with meat and
bakers goods twice week, and with
fresh fish, CLANS and Holsters once a
week. There is also market wagon,
which runs to Bridgeport once week.
Besides the manufacturing establish
ments there are II dwelling houses,
one church, and al the present time
there are about 80 Inhabitants. In
short, Berkshire is pretty much of a
place.
