SwindIers in Idaho.

Idaho is being worked by band Of
swindlers. Salt Lake correspondence
to Boise warns residents of Idaho that
if they sign up any purchase Of a mar
velous graphaphone they do SO at their
own peril. If they think they are go
ing to get an up-to-date machine they
will wake from their trance few days
after and find that their contract has
been discounted at bank for the val
ue Of $500.
Some south Idaho people have al
ready been caught. The gang is made
up of five suave individuals who were
run out of Ogden by the officials.
s@z s@ They have been going through the
farmers in a most dastardly shape. The
mode of bunco operated by these indi-
yiduals is very simple. A fellow drives
up to the house in a buggy, and brings
with him a talking machine. The
children and the household generally are
given a concert, and eventually the
head of the household is induced to
order machine for presumably SIS,
but in reality he signs an order for a
graphaphone and 20 records at SIS
each, which of course is problem in
addition and foots up to exactly $315.
The salesman is temporarily short oi
funds and gets the sucker to give his
written agreement to allow him to dis
count the note. In few days another
individual comes along with the note
and says he bouhgt it from the frs
man, and proceeds to collect as soor
as the machine has been delivered BY
still another man. 1t is wonderful how
many people have bitten and are still
biting .-Weiser Signal.

Kills the Squirrels.

If you want to get rid Of the squirrels
on your ranch try the following: Buy
can Of concentrated lye and gallon of
cheap syrup, mix about half Of the lye
in the syrup and put it on little pieces
of boards and place near the holes fre-
quented by the little pests and it will
kill all that eat Of it and the rest will
leave the ranch. The squirrels are
very fond of anything sweet, and will
readily eat Of the syrup and lye. The
above is said to be best squirrel eradi-
Gator ever discoved. Try it.-Ex.

Trade in Troy.

A prominent farmer from the lower
end of American Ridge was in Troy
few days ago, and in conversation
with the News editor, said that Troy
was by far the best trading point in the
country. He said that the most OF
the farmers of his neighborhood found
it cheaper by from 20 to 40 per cent
to trade in Troy, and most of them
take advantage of the fact and drive
away from other towns in the county
to come to Troy. This has been the
opinion of farmers from every section
of the territory tributary to Troy, and
is becomining too well known to need
much comment. The saving of dol
lars on merchandise is matter that
appeals to every man, woman and
child in the family, for the difference
Of only few pennies on any article
means many dollars at the end OF the
year. The merchants of Troy enjoy
the same freight rates as Moscow and
other towns in this territory, while the
expenses OF conducting mercantile
business here are much smaller than in
most other points. Rents are reason
able, taxes are low and many of the
expenses necessary in larger towns are
entirely absent here. Another fact that
must not be overlooked is the quality
OF goods. Our merchants are supplying
their customers with the best the mar
ket affords, realizing fully that honest
goods at reasonable prices will never
lose them a customer, but will in the
long run, bring much trade to thi;
town.

Eli Perkins on Editors.
sessnent,

IAN editor" said Eli Perkins, is
a decayed newspaper man, with bun
ions on his brain, chilblains on his
heart, corns on his ears, and warts and
dyspepsia on his liver. The business
of the editor is to sleep up town all day
and at night he prowls around news
paper Office; at midnight he takes a
blue pencil and assassinates every
bright and reasonable ideas that the
smart reporters have sent in during the
day. The editor is all epithet, while
the reporter is all proof. The editor
calls man a chicken thief and is sued
for libel, while the reporter, kodak in
hand, interviews him while picking
off the feathers in the back yard, and
the next day the thief takes a page
advertisement to shut up the news
paper.

to the prairie alone, but is found in the
timbered regions as well, thus assuring
a good agricultural land after the timb-
er has been taken off, and most Of the
timber land can be cultivated after the
timber is removed, and in some places
there is enough timber to pay for the
place, and the settler has the land left.
CLIMATE.
The mean temperature of summer
is not too high for comfort and yet high
enough to insure proper develop
ment of all farm crops adapted to this
region. Extremes of heat and cold
are unknown. The soil does not
freeze to any great depth in the fields.
Vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots,
and parsnips, remain in the ground all
winter with little danger of injury from
frost, Snow seldom falls to depth
greater than eighteen inches, except
in the higher timbered regions where
the inhabitants enjoy good sleighing
during the winter. All kinds Of stock
do well, and the grades Of stock are
constantly improving.
Troy
Troy is situared in the heart of this
wonderfully rich section, having good
agricultural land on the east and south,
and splendid timber land on the north
and west, and there is continual bust

ness activity the year round. The
land is not nearly SO high in price as
around the larger towns, and yet it is
Just as productive and by far the better
fruit land, being warmer and less windy.
Troy is Situated on the south fork of
Bear Creek, between Burnt and Amer
ican Ridges, and the farming land is
situated on the fertile ridges which are
tributary to the town, where large guam
titles of fruit, grain, hay, and other ag-
ricultural products are produced. We
have two free delivery routes, and ex-
pect third and fourth to be in opera
ton within short time.
LAND VALUES.
Grazing land can be had at from 81
to So per acre, with plenty of water.
Timber land is generally governed by
the number of thousand feet on each
tract. Agricultural land ranges from
$40 to $45 per acre.
If you are contemplating coming west
this spring, we do not think you will
regret a visit to this section OF the
country where you can live in peace,
comfort and contentment, and, where
you are not bothered by winds, cyclones,
sunsroke or billiards. Come and Wis
it us this year, along with the thous-
ands of others who will come west dur
ing the year.
