The library now contains nearly
400 volumes and is very well pa

town to draw books. Many books,
however, are not on the shelves

in the library were "Alice of Old

one or more books that have been
read several times and do not care
to keep; send them to the library
somebody else may want to read
them. Books were made to be

Insurance Money Paid.

Mrs. A. ID. Kennedy received
$4,000 life insurance this week from
the policy which her late husband
carried in the Modern Woodmen of
America. The money arrived in
less than 80 days from the time
proof of death was sent in. Be-
sides this promptness the dying
man received the necessary care
and attention during his illness
from the members OF the order and
his widow and children received
the genuine love and care that in
terested friends alone can give.
This is not furnished by any old line
insurance company and is no small
factor in the policy holdings. Mr..
Kennedy had paid about $50 on his
policy and had nearly four years
to pay it in which Was hardly no.

benefit societies in the world, hav.
ing nearly 900, 900 members. The

The piano fund was therefore in
creased by s127.45.
Many inquiries are made regard
ing the cost of the piano, payments,
etc. The cost was $500 laid down
at Sites, 500 cash down, the bal
ance in two annual payments of
500 each with interest at 6 per
cent. The freight from Sites to

OF LOSING TRADE
Wants Road Between Warren
and Meadows Fixed.

The Salmon Meadows Eagle
advocates the passage by the
legislature of an appropriation of
$4,000 for the purpose of improv-
ing the state wagon road between
Meadows and Warren. 1t is
claimed that unless this is done
all the trade of the Warren,
Marshall lake and Thunder Mount
ain countries will be diverted to
Camas Prairie and Grangeville,
and the Eagle admits that the
construction of the 2. & |. Y.
railroad to Meadows will not affect
this result unless the wagon road
between Meadows and Warren is
improved. The object Of the
appropriation is to cut out all the
many fords across the Payette
river which make the Meadows
route impossible for many IN nths
in the year. 1t is not likely that
the legislature will grant an ap.
preparation of state money for such
II strictly local purpose, for if such
is made then the gates will be left
wide open for others to apply for
a similar appropriation to improve
the roads from Grangeville to
Florence and Warren. Incident +
ally, we wish to remind the Eagle
that Grangeville will have two
lines of railroad long before
Meadows has one, and III view OF
this fact the Meadows and Weiser
people may as well make up their
minds to let loose of all the mount
ain trade, for it is all bound to
come to Camas Prairie, and the
advent of the railroads here will
materially hasten this end.

LUDWIG GRABSKY GETS CONTRACT
Our County Officers Will Then Be
Housed In Better Quarters
Than Ever.

At the meeting of the city couu-
Gil Tuesday night the contract for
the completion of the new city hail,
or court house, was let to Ludwig
Grahsky for $235O. The work is
to commence at once and the Offices
must all be finished within 60 days
and the court room in 80 DAYS
If the work is not completed with
in the specified time the contractor
is to forfeit 800 a month for such
time as the village is deprived of
the use of the building. The in
terror will be papered and painted
and good-sized Offices made for all
the county officers down stairs.
The up stairs will be finished for
an opera house with a stage and
two dressing rooms across the en-
tire north end of the building A
good-sized gallery will be built
across the south end of the build
ing, thus giving seating capacity
of about 500 people.
Owing to the amount of cred
tape" necessary in issuing bonds,
and other details in connection
with the construction of this build
ing, there has been "a great deal of
unavoidable delay in it's compile
tion, but it is in such a shape now
that the people who have worked
long and earnestly for the removal
of the county seat to Grangevi!le
can confidently say that on or be-
fore April l, 1908, our county Of
ficers will be domiciled i'm better
quarters than they have heretofore
enjoyed, and all without cost to
the taxpayers outside of those re-
siding in this city.

cred work viii be pushed with all
possible speed, and it is more than
probable that the work will be fin
ished before the date set in the
contract

approvai.
The principal amendment to the
O'Neil bill was that the new bill
provides for the assessment of
taxes on the mines directly on a
value equal to the net profit of IA
mine for the preceding year. The
meaning of the words met prolit'
AS contained in the O'Neil bill is
somewhat changed 1t means the
money left deducting all money or
any expenses incurred in Idaho
in connection with the operation
of the mine. The O'Neil bill
provided for the deduction of all
expenses for the extraction of the
ores at the property and their
treatment at the smelter, which is
outside the state. 1t is believed
this new clause will be stimulant
for promoters to construct smelters
within the state. The objection
taken to the words "net profit in
the O. Neil bill was that the money
went to stockholders who reside
outside of the state and, therefore,
the money would not come under
the jurisdiction of the idaho laws.
The repeating clause Of the pro-
posed bill does not repeal the law
which is at present in force, this
being done so that the mineowners
would have to pay their taxes for
1902. A copy of the bill has been
forwarded to number of the
members of the Legislature.

glyphics. One day he discovered roll of
papyrus, containing in one place mysterious
marks too faint to be deciphered, says the
New York Sun.
1t took the professor week to find out
that the papyrus was in a double layer
with the mysterious marks in between.
1t took the professor another week to
separate the layers of the papyrus without
tearing it.
1t took the professor practically no time
at all to read the writing, which ran as
follows:
my name is Blanche Terwilliger. work

kosh, Mich. ] am a brunette, lS years
old, and generally considered handsome.
/ could make trusting wife to the right
man and write this note in the hope that
it will fall into the hands of such man

tion demanded.
