How Its Done In Moscow.

A Troy farmer, who had been read
ing some of the blood and thunder
advertisements of certain Moscow mer-
chants, took the bait and drove to the
county seat under the impression he
had at last fallen heir to a genuine
get rich quick scheme. Here are
the conclusions arrived at after his
search for bargains, goods at half price
and merchandise at less than cost"
A lot Of awfully loud advertising.
If possible these merchants would have
their ads printed in blood if the news
paper proprietors would supply the
gore. It is simply wonderful how these
people can always buy their goods so
much cheaper than other merchants
and then always, just to show their ap-
probation of the dear people, sell
everything in the store at a loss. We
presume its the enormous quantity
that enables them to do it. And the
stuff advertised as new spring stock"
I'll be blowed if it wasn't musty with
age and covered with fly specks de-
posted there by the flies of former
days. Hereafter I'll trade in Troy.

Idaho Pine Land.

The value of Idaho pine land for agri
cultural purposes is fast being demon
strated. There is now on display in the
real estate Office of J. f. Ogden of Troy
a sample of timothy grown on pine up
land two miles east of town. This.ti
othy is six feet tall and will make an
excellent yield. The land upon which
this crop was grown was once pine
forest and was cleared up within the
last few years. The fact that this class
of soil, worthless in other states, is con
sidered worthless for farming purposes,
generally prejudices the eastern home
seeker against this pine land but the
fact that it does produce big crops here
will increase its value and create ready
market for it. Great is Idaho.

It's Up To Lamb.

Whether or not the people of County
Commissioner Lambs district hereafter
get their bills allowed will rest entirely
with Mr.. Lamb. Since assuming the
duties of this office Mr.. Lamb has had
to be shown before any bill has re-
ceived his OK" and his extreme
zealousness over the expenditure Of
county funds has caused him to vote
may with about as much regularity
as did Grover Cleveland in the paying
of pensions. It is alleged that at the
last session OF the board Mr. Lamt
even voted against his own salary bill.
But the latter statement, if we
remember correctly, is not substan-
tiated by the minutes Of the proceed
ings. Commissioners Pickering and
Anderson now declare that they pro-
pose to give the people in MIR. Lamb S
district the full benefit OF his peculiar
ideas Of economy and that hereafter
bills from this district must first receive
his approval. It is said that many of
the bills from this district that were up
at the present session for payment
were handled according to this plan,
and those who find their bills not paid
can understand why the board did so.
We are informed that the bills Of some
Of the Troy people are among this list
and until Mr.. Lamb agrees to pay them
no cash will be forthcoming.

Who Did II?

County Attorney Stllinger and Sheriff
Robbins were in Troy Tuesday on their
way home from the neighborhocd Of
the recent shooting OF young Anderson
near Anderson post Office. Mr.. Still
linger says he found a most peculiar
state OF affairs in the neighborhood Of
the shooting, there being absolutely no
evidence to connect anyone with the
crime. Another rather peculiar thing
was the stories Of the various witnesses
examined, there being no discrepancy
in the testimony of the people relative
to the whole affair. There is not even
a circumstance tending to throw sus-
picion upon anyone.
Young Anderson is fast recovering and
will soon be able to return to his
home.

Is Making Good.

1t has hardly been forgotten how
bitter a fight was made during the
campaign against Sheriff VIM. Robbins
and of how many things he was ac-
cused; also how many predictions Of
what would happen in case Of his cleo
ton. Mr.. Robbins was elected by
very close majority, and has now served
about one-fourth Of his term. In JUS
tice to MIR. Robbins and to the repub-
lican party that nominated him let the
News ask how much real ground there
was for the violent attack made upon
this man? The charges that his cleo
ton meant open gambling, lawlessness
and whiskey rule have not been justi-
fed by the facts. Laws have been as
strictly enforced as the most ardent
moralist could ask. Gambling does
not exsist. The saloons make no at
tempt to violate any law. And at no
time was Latah county ever better gov
erned, more orderly, or laws more
strictly obeyed Sheriff Robbins is
making his county an excellent official
and those who were SO loud in his de-
nunciation during the campaign are
now ready to admit their mistake. Mr.
Robbins official conduct is justifyine
the republican party in giving him the
nomination.

FINE GRAIN.
Samples Sent to Portland Will be Hard
to Beat.

The first of the week J. F. Ogden
sent to the Portland fair some grain
samples that will certainly speak vol
umes for the agricultural possibilities
of this state. In the collection was
a bundle Of fall wheat from the M.
Bergenson farm on Driscoll ridge. This
wheat measured 78 inches in length
and will yield in the neighborhood of
90 bushels per acre. This wheat is
of the VOLTS Hybred variety. The
crop is the property of VIM. Condell
who has the place rented. The sam
pie above mentioned was from a 110
acre field.
Oats six feet tall, raised by Josh
Lanphear on his Jansville farm among
the pine trees was also included in the
collection.
Another bundle of oats raised by
Joe Perry three miles north of Troy in
Black Pine clearing, put in cultiva-
ton two years ago, measured "a
inches. What will Portland visitors
think OF this?
Still another good sample that went
to the fair was six foot four inch fall
wheat taken from a sixty acre field be-
longing to Henry Anderson on Little
Bear ridge. This, stoo, viii make q
big yield.

Want a Road.

During the week the News editor
had a talk with a prominent farmer
from Fix ridge who says the people Of
his neighborhood would Ike very much
to have the road to Troy opened up.
At present a great deal Of this trade
is compelled to go to Moscow when
the opening up Of only about a mile Of
new road would give these people a
better road and bring them within
some six miles Of Troy. The new
road comes into the Moscow-Troy road
at the big trestle at the Suuble farm.
But little work and comparatively little
expense would result in adding con-
siderable annual trade to Troy and we
trust the matter will not be overlooked.
We found upon inquiry that Troy IS
considered by these Fix ridge farmers
as good or even better trading point
than Moscow and with shorter and
better road will come this way. The
farmer with whom we talked said: 7
do considerable trading in Troy be-
cause I can do better here, and hope
the matter Of giving US a good road to
you. town will be looked after. Much
trade comes this way now but the road
will bring a great deal more"

CREAMERY SHOULD SUCCEED.
So Saws W. L. Cronk. OF Montana, Where
They Have Tried 1t.

During the latter part OF last week
w. L. Cronk, county treasurer OF Broad
water county, Montana, was in Troy
visiting D. M. Eckman and family.
While here he visited our new cream
ery and also spent day driving over
the American ridge country. Mr.. Cronk
was very favorably impressed with this
section and thought there was little
chance for a failure in the operation Of
a creamery here. He said that year
ago the first of July the same company
that put in the Troy plant built one OF
the same kind in his town, a place
about the same size as Troy, for which
the people paid the same price that
was paid for the Troy plant. The first
davis run of the Montana creamery
was As pounds of butter and from what
he saw here thought we were duplica-
ting their record. He says many in
his town predicted failure and many
disposed OF their stock for half price
or even less. But at the end of the
first years run stock was selling at a
premium and those who had been SO
anxious to get it off their hands were
ready to have some strong man kick
them for their foolishness. Mr.. Cronk
was very enthusiastic over the prospect
here, stating that much more favorable
conditions exist here. He says that
in the first place the soil is better
adapted to grasses here, is more pro
ductive, and that the country is more
thickly settled here. One result OF
the creamery in his town was the fact
that during the first years existence OF
the creamery the value Of land near
the town had advanced materially, due
sole,y to the location Of the plant
there. One way that his town did to
assist the creamery was the concerted
action of the merchants who refused to
handle anything except the creamery
product, thereby building up strong
home demand. He suggested that i
we found any difficulty here in dis
posing of the product that the associa
ton send out a representative, anc
with him supply of small samples tC
be tested by the trade in other towns
In their case the only trouble had beer
in keeping up with the demand. II
MIR Cronk's opinion the Troy creamer,
will be a big success and that the
stock will soon be in demand at NOR
than par.
Since Mr.. Cronk speaks from actua
experience with identically the SAM
kind of a plant working under les
favorable conditions, his opinion ough
to be received with much considera
ton, and it certainly ought to encoui
age those who have gone into the neV
industry to put forthrenewed effort
towards making the Troy creamery
big success and profitable investment
