point Into the Payctte valley. They
expected TO survey from Lowman TO

there that the line OF survey was TO
pass through Boise. IL was also said
that IL was understood there that
preliminary surveys were being made
east from Stanley basin.
II has been known for some time
past that band Of Northwestern

"A one-termer'' Is the expression
heard from republicans every day
when Governor Gooding's name hap

to fill. His private news bureau
may work overtime and subsidized
country papers bribed with little

to rally the common people to the

avail nothing. The governor has
shown himself friend OF graft, and

newspapers size up the situation, We

Saturday evening about nine o'clock
Clate Booher, stepping out the back
door Of Broman's store, saw a man go
Ing through the window Of Reitman's S
smokehouse. In Company with Dave
Spencer they went Immediately to the
scene and while Mr.. Booher went up
to the building, Mr.. Spencer stationed
himself in the alley. Immediately a
man, who proved to be Jacob Capaul,
rushed around the smoke house and
down the alley toward Spencer, who
drew his revolver and ordered the fel-
low to halt. Instead, he rushed by,
cutting viciously at Spencer with a
knife, the blade striking his left arm at
the elbow, and cutting two inch hole
in his clothing, but not touching the
flesh. While this was going on Art
Proctor came crawling out the window,
and was held until Town Marshal Mil
Ter arrived and locked him up. In the
face Of being caught in the act, Proc
ter denied being in the building, say
ing he had just come over from the
saloon to see what the shooting was al
about. The following day County At
torney Stillinger and Sheriff Robbins
came down and after investigating the
facts, drove to the Capaul home east o
Troy and where Mr.. Capaul was arrest
ed, after first making a complete con

AFine Lecture

Tuesday evening Prof. J. C. Muer-
man gave most interesting lecture on
the Philippine islands to a large and
audience in Odd Fellows
hall. The professor spoke of the con-
ditions as the Americans found them
there five years ago and then told Of
the great change made and the pro-
gress attained. He dwelt at length
on the old conditions and customs.
and contrasted them with the
new regeme. The political and civil
customs, laws and usages were ex-
planned. and quite generally illustrated
with a most appropriate story, anec-
dote or experience coming under the
professors observation during his hve
years residence there. The manner ol
building and carrying on the schools,
their ideas Of honesty, justice and po
litical responsibility, and lheir intense
patriotism was highly entertaining anc
instructive. The natural resources o
the islands was given some attention
by the professor, who spoke with tell
ing force Of the great and wonderful
work already done In that country TO
those people by the U. S. government

Raises Fine Stuff.

T. H. Christie ani family drove out
to Anton Mason's fine farm on Little
Bear Ridge Sunday and upon their re-
turn, Mr.. Mason sent his compliments
IN the Troy News in TIE way Of few
sa.ables from his farm. Among the
samples were four ears of white flint
corn thst are certainly prize winners,
and would do credit to a corn state like
Kansas. Each ear is from nine to ten
inches long, has eight rows, and about
four hundred kurnels to the cob. For
this variety these ears are pronounced
very fine and well worth exhibiting
Mr.. Mason also sent US a bunch Of
very fine Oxhart carrots, a large Hub
bard squash, and big pumpkin, all
bearing witness to the productiveness
Of Potlatch soil.
This season Mr.. Mason threshed 90
acre of Bluestem that yielded forty-five
bushels per acre, No. l, for which a
fancy price can be realized. It should
be added that Mr.. Mason raised and
matured five acres Of the corn above
mentioned.

A Bumper Yield.

Emmett Harris was in from Little
Bear ridge a few days ago and informed
us that John McConb, a neighboring
farmer on that fine ridge, had threshed
out 90 bushels Of Little Club per acre
from a seven acre patch. Mr.. Nc
Combs also harvested a thirty acre field
Of spring wheat, and got yield of 40
tushe S per acre. This yield is en-
land that has been in cultivation for
fifteen years, and was originally COW
cred with pine timber. Like all pine
lands in this section, the soil is
rich, deep and black. and usually
cleared at an expense Of about ten dol
lars per acre, and once in cultivation
produces heavily all crops adapted to
this section. The truth regarding the
real value OF Idaho pine lands will
some day become known, and those
who are now passing It by will be pay
ing fancy prices to get possession Of a
few acres. There is no better soil

Good Walks.

What changel Six months ago
one could hardly walk from the post
Office to the opera house without real
danger of personal injury from defec-
tive sidewalks. Tuesday evening a
large crowd attended lecture at the
hall and the fine, wide, smooth side
walks from one end of town to the
other could not but cause one to feel a
a little bit Of pride in the present ex-
cellent condition of our walks. This
is matter in which every citizen OF
the town should be interested, for
nothing speaks better for a place than
good walks and nothing hurts a town
more than poor sidewalks. It is a
hopeful sign when the people begin to
take pride in the towns appearance.
Just keep up the good work till Troy
is the cleanest, incest town in oui

Great Is Latah,

The Palouse Republic has the fol-
lowing to say relative to well known
Latah county farmer;
B. ]. Jones, we'll known and reli-
able saw mill man, gives the Republic
some facts and figures which show
some Of the profits possible to be made
from Palouse country lands.
In 1901 Mr.. Jones purchased the
northeast quarter of Sec. SO, township
a, Range west of Boise meridian.
The land lies just over the state line
in Idaho, two and one half miles east
Of Palouse, 1t was originally Idaho
state school land, and in character the
average soil of the Palouse country.
Mr.. Jones paid for the land, less than
four years ago, SO per acre for sc
acres, and $3.50 per acre for 80 acres
total cost for the quarter section o
$228O. This season he threshed from
the land 1874 sacks of No. whea
600 sacks OF oats, besides cutting Sc
tons of hay, His crop brought hin
S23oO.50, or $I10 more than he paiC
for the land.
Mr.. Jones' experience is not the onl,
one of the kind which might be men
toned. But standing alone it serve
to show that no better country can b
found in which to invest in farms, eli
ther for homes or purely for invest
ment.

Fish are Doing Well

Eric Reierson informs the News ed
itor that the trout in his big pond are
apparently doing nicely in spite Of the
long, dry season, and the further fact
that the snow fall last season was not
sufficient to fill the six acre pond to its
full capacity. Mr.. Reierson says he
has found but one dead fish this sum-
mer,. and that the fnny tribe is fat and
in excellent health. Some of the fish
recently caught were apparently as fine
eating as those caught early in the
spring. There has been considerable
discussion Of the experiments Of trout
raising in artificial ponds, and the ex-
periments on the Reierson farm are be-
ing watched with considerable interest.
