IMPORTANT REAL
ESTATE CHANGES
Some Heavy Sales by Realty Agent
H. E. Vessels

In talking with II. E. Vessels of
the Potlatch Land Co. we learn of
some heavy purchases just made in
this section, which we note with plea
sure.
The two first named purchases by
Mr.. Lange and Assmann, are indica :
tive of the real worth of this country.
Both gentlemen previous to buying,
travelled and studied prospects else
" here, satisfying themselves of the
superiority of this section. 1t is with
much pleasure and satisfaction we
note their purchase as their residen ce
here is decided gain to the commu-
nifty and our town. 1t is such men
that have made the west and we are
fortunate.
Herewith IS the list, every one of
which means an additional resident
Of this section. and one which we can
congratulate ourselves upon securing:-
David Royalty to Herman Lange,
100 acres near Cameron. Price $4,000.
Geo Brewster, to Bernard Assmann
100 acres above Kendrlck on Ameri-
can ridge including this years crop.
Price $1,000. This was bargain.
Mr.. Assmann, All Ohio man, looked
at the property this spring but travel
ed further ere purchasing.
Colfax arties to VIM. Kibbe of
Chicago, so acres on Bear ridge near
/ Albers. Price $1,000. Mr.. Kibtle
will make his home on this property.
so acres to Mr.. Mumford of Wash
ington for 5000. This property is To-
Gated on Driscoll ridge, seven miles
from Vollner and will also be the
home of the purchaser.
Mr.. Vessels is now showing the
country to Mr.. Simler Of South Dakota
who recently arrived with his family
and has rented a house for short
period while he is examining the
Potlatch Two things we know Mr.
Vessels will show him the country
thoroughly, so that he can see fol
himself just what it is, and should Mr..
Silnler purchase from him he will be
satisfied, for that is the record of every
customer that Mr.. Vessels has yet
sold property to, and further we hope
to he able to count Mr.. Simler among
our Inhabitants.

INTERSTATE TELE-
PHONE co.
A Line Built for the
Farmers
Metropolitan Privileges on the Rancf

Fol, the past two weeks this COM
pany has been busy placing its poles
in position in our town and Monday
of this week installed the first tele-
phone, in Whites drug store. Tuesday
load of phones was brought in and
the men are now busy connecting
the firms who have subscribed.
Probably slight sketch of the
workings of this company will not
come amiss and we take pleasure in
giving it.
The Interstate Telephone Go. is now
about two years old and already has
200 miles of line in operation. 1t was
originally composed of Moscow busi-
ness men who seeing the need Of more
direct communication by the farmer
organized and branched out from
Moscow. The line now reaches Pa
louise, Potlatch and the reservation
country. Its first idea is a telephone
for the farmers, and to that end the
poles are set and the wires stretched
through the farming country, making
connections at the towns. Thus from
Moscow to Kendrick through the
famous American ridge one wire is
run and all the farmers on the ridge
can connect thereto if desired.
1t is mutual stock company IL lis
scheme of finance, that is YOU can
lake minimum interest of S25 or u
maximum of $500 il. shares, the phone
is installed in yeur residence (you
pay ing for tn poles only from the
residence to the main wire) and you
pay dollar month for the use OF
that phone in your section and the
the nearest town. Should you desire
to go from one town to another an
exchange of l0c is charged, let Say
from Americtp ridge 1 could call uI
Moscow and ask for a merchant in
P~louse, the connecting of the Palouse
me- -rchant with me would cost I0c
although / could talk with the oper-
ator there without extra charge.
This practically means the farmers
secure telephone for 81 mouth.

After this, nominations were in order
and 1t being evident there was fight

and the other by the Callison con-
tingent.
Geo. Brewster was nominated but
withc rev as it was claimed he be-
lenged IN Juliaetta precinct and also
that lie was democrat. Claud Dun
can WAS another nominee withdrawn
on account of being minor. The
,frrmary law of the last Legislature
WIS duly explained and several chal-

to vote as they proved they were re-

TAKE A LEADING PART.

1t is the part Of wisdom and good
politics for Lafayette county TO get
into the campaign early. There is
no bitter factionalism here and nc
hindering cause exists to prevent such
a course. Especially in the case OF
the state ticket it is absolutely
necessary for the big democratic
agricultural counties to do their best.
The cities are not TO be trusted 10
this campaign. The national cam
paign fund will be available to the
republicans Of Missouri this year,
who have higher hopes Of carrying
the state than at any time in thirty
years. The eyes Of the state may be
attracted to Lafayette county by
such a course Of action, and the
democracy in this county is in better
condition to take the lead of the
agricultural counties than any one in
the list. No violent revolution
occurred in this county. No bitter
factional fight was wsged here. 1t
will be easy and graceful for the
working democrats of this county to
take the lead in this matter. Such a
course would make the name of Lafay-
cite county to be cheered In every
democratic state convention for ten
years to come.
The INTELLIGENCER was not at all
favorable to the nomination Of Folk,
and Parker was not its first CHOICE.
The former was fairly nominated by
the people, who instructed a majority
Of the uncontested delegates for him.
The latter was selected upon the first
ballot by two-thirds Of the delegates
to the greatest, best spirited, and
most considerable deliberative assembly
Of democrats held in the country since
the war between the states. In the
parties as 10 popular government we
must have either majority rule or
minority rule. Upon such a propo-
sition there is only one position for a
reasonable mar to occupy, subject to
conscience only. There is no good
and sufficient reason why democrats
should not give the ticket, national,
state and county, their support, and
hearty support at that There is no
reason why in this county they should
not go a step further and take a
Leading part in the campaign and thus
get credit for doing what they are
going to do anyhow.

THE BRIDGE AND TROLLEY LINE.


A committee OF citizens from May
view was in Lexington Wednesday
seeking to interest the protector and
the citizens 10 the selection OF May
view as the junction point with the
@. & A railroad for the trolley line
contemplated in connection with the
bridge over the river at this place,
The committee consisted Of I. T.
Pickett, George Plattenburg, Judge
E. S. Butt, and G. II. Radius. These
gentlemen appreciate the advantage
which an electric road connection
would be to Their community and
they are anxious that Mayview shall
have an opportunity to bid for it.
Manifestly it is too early to select
the southern terminus Of the road
Lexington must raise $40, 900 more
before it will be 10 a position to take
up that matter; but this sum can be
raised and ought TO be raised speedily.
The terms OF the subscription are
such that the subscribers will have
nothing to pay unless the road and
bridge are built. The payments in
four installments are distributed over
several years during the progress of
the work. The subscription contracts
remain In the hands of the citizens
committee and are paid only upon its
order as the work proceeds, after all
contracts are let and guarded by
sufficient surety bonds.
The bonus required to secure the
bridge and trolley line appears to be
a large SUN; but in comparison with
other familiar sums it is dwarfed
considerably. For instance it is only
three times as much as the gas and
electric company has spent 10 the
past year in the improvement of its
plants. 1t is only two-ffths more
than the water company has expended
within a year in betterments. 1t is
only two ffths more than the cost Of
a years street Improvements exclusive
of curbing and sidewalks, 1t is only
one-ffteenth Of the amount now on
deposit In the four banks Of this city.
1t is only one-half as much as has
been expended within a year 10 the
erection Of new business and residence
property. Mt a one of these items,
not ever the bank deposits, is to
be compared in far-reaching and
abiding Importance with the bridge
and trolley line. 1t would be a mis-
take, an irremediable and l~nexcusable
mistake, to let slip so inviting an
opportunity.

Prof. D. F. Conrad.

The St. LOUIS Christian Advocate in
article concerning Prof. D. F. Conrad
and the department of music of Central
College. says;
This gentleman graduated in the
A. M. degree from the University OF
Wooster, directed the School of Music
there for some time and then spent
several years in Europe studying with
the great masters, the last four years
of which was in The Royal Conservatory
at Berlin. During that time he was

all else that may be said of Mr.. Conrad,
every acquaintance would remark upon
his gentility and Christian grace.

THE BRIDGE.

The soliciting committee is at work
again and it is meeting with encour-
aging success. The present bridge
and trolley proposition has been so
fully discussed and the whole subject
Of bridging the river has been gone
over so many tunes 10 years past that
no argument ought to be necessary to
persuade our citizens to help in this
matter, and no further time ought to
be asked for elaboration. The wagon
bridge alone would inspire new life
into Lexington and greatly increase
the volume Of retail business. The
trolley line would bring into rapid
communications with US the towns
on the @ & A. railrord and that part
Of the county which lies beyond it.
We may have a fire one OF these days
and may have the court house re-
moval agitation upon us again. Next
time we may not fare so well. There
may be a prolonged depression in the
coal business one Of these days or a
prolonged strike. The loss to Lex
ington In such an event would be
greater than the bonus asked.
The people are being deferred by
various considerations from selling
this opportunity as enthusiastically as
they might. But the chief lettering
cause is a failure to realize the
enormous Importance of the enter
prise, and the trifing amount Of the
bonus asked in proportion to the
benefits which are to be expected.
One fifteenth Of the amounts now on
deposit 10 the four banks Of the city
would insure the bridge. And every.
body knows that bank deposits do not
represent the wealth of the COM
munity, but only its pocket change.
If every citizen would contribute
to this enterprise proportionately
either to his ability, or to the benefit
that would accrue to him, the burden
upon each would be wholly incon-
siderable. Every man would have his
money back before the bridge and
trolley line is completed. But this
is never done and is not to be expected
1t is a Gideon's band that has saved
the day in all the battles OF the world,
moral and industrial, as well as
military. And 1t is an Epbraim Is
host that has exultantly participated
in the fruits Of every victory. Let
the committee be not discouraged at
the indifference Of any but press
forward resolutely to the success
which deserves to crown their efforts.
If the enterprise should fail and 4.
will not fail II they are of one mind
and determined, the attempt will at
least serve to make up Lexington's
Honor Roll,
