Make the germs take to the woods And lead a proper life. Be kindly toward your neighbors and Pleasant to your wife. Spend your money freely but

A MODEL MAN.

 There was a man in our town Who led the simple life. He paid no heed to wars alarms And knew no earthly strife. He didn't blow about himself, Was neither cheap nor loud. You never saw him showing off When standing in a crowd He didn't have a single fault Al was how he stood But, alack, alas, he couldn't vote This man was made of wood.
 FLATTERY TO ORDER. He listened to his praises sung In most delightful way, But he heard them in a graphophont Which sang them every day.

BUILDING SITE SELECTED
Pavilion to Be Erected by Coos County
Oregon, at Lewis and Clark Fair.

Portland. April 14.-Coos county, Or.
has demonstrated that her plans for
pavilion at the Lewis and Clark GEN.
tennial amounts to more than idle talk
by sending a representative to Portland
to choose a site. L. L. Deffenbaugh,
representing the Coos county chamber
of commerce. visited the exposition
grounds a few days ago and decided
upon a plot of ground. 100 by 100 feet
situated a short distance north and
east of the Plaza of states. Work on
the building, which is to be 50x60 feet.
and constructed entirely of Coos coun-
ty woods. will be begun in January.
The structure is to cost $4,000 and the
funds are being provided by enterpris-
ing merchants and other citizens, no
appropriation having been made by the
county court. Coos now leads the
counties of the state in the matter OF
exposition enterprise. but Marion,
Clackamas and several other counties
have applied for large space allotments

Portland controlled the entire trade
of that country, but the Northern Pa
cific activity in building its Clearwater
short line has diverted the business TO
Spokane. 1t is an unnatural route,
but a vast improvement over the old
conditions. and our country has pros
pered accordingly The Clearwater
short line runs along the canyon OF the
Clearwater river and does not touch
any part of the productive country.
Grangeville, Denver, Cottonwood and
Nezperce, the principal towns in that
country. are 20 miles distant from the
railroad But even with these disad-
vantages the country is progressing
rapidly. In the past three years the
entire population of the agricultural
districts has changed, the lands being
purchased by farmers from the east,
attracted by our cheap and fertile soil,
mild climate and social conditions. For
the past 80 days three and five stages
a day have been running between
Grangeville and Sites, bringing in
remain as permanent residents.
"Grangeville itself is rapidly grow
ing town with an immense jobbing bus
mess in its tributary territory. We
have fine gravity water system. cleo
trio lighting plant. telephone exchange
macadamized street city government
three banks with deposits aggregating
$750.0OO. four hotels. seven churches
with resident pastors, splendid pub
lie school system employing nine teach
ers. three newspapers and a good as
sortment of stores of all kinds which
attract trade from large scope OF
coutry. Only eight other towns in the
state of Idaho do a larger postal bust
ness than Grangeville. With railroad
facilities we may reasonably expect the
great Clearwater basin to become the
center of population in our state ant
Grangeville become the third city
yielding supremacy only to Boise in the
south and Lewiston i'm the porth."
