at Reno. New, Takes Position
Long Held by Jeffries.

Reno, New, July 4.--Marvin Hart
won over Jack Root In the twelfth round
here Monday afternoon, when the odds
were to the other way The punch
which compassed the downfall OF the
Chicagoan was d shortarm, powerful
Jolt OF the right arm to the pit Of the
stomach The low was delivered with
terrific force, and caught Root while
he was coming up, reeled and tottcred
and fell In q heap on the resined floor
Of the ring. Jeffrles, towering over the
PROSTATE form ~ the Chicagoan, tolled
off the ten Seconds, which made Hart
champion OF The world. He might have
counted 20 seconds for that matter, for
Root was hopelessly defeated Up TO
this point Of the fight Root had com
manding lead over Hart, and appeared
to be winning well in hand, but was
finally foored Just before the fight be-
gan, Jeffries called the men to him and
announced that the victor would be the

Strangers Surprised.

Strangers are greatly surprised at the
wonderful resources of Troy and the
surrounding country, and especially at
the large volume OF business which is
constantly going on the year round at
this point, also at the fine crops which
are grown on the ridges. 1t is well
known fact that Troy is the greatest
shipping point in Latah county, and
our business men are we'll pleased with
the large volumn OF trade which they
are daily transacting and which is con-
tinually increasing. Troy has built up
a great reputation as a trading point,
and many people are leaving other
towns and coming here to do their
trading, and people in different sec
tions of the country are trying to get
new roads so that they can come here.
Troy has bright future before it with
a rich farming section on two sides,
and excellent timber on the other side,
which gives it resources Of which it
may we'll be roud, and which be-
speaks for it continued growth and
prosperity. Its fine climate cannot be
excelled in the state for healthfulness,
and good water, schools, churches and
the low price of land make it an ideal
place for investment and an easy place
to get home where life in all its
fullness can be happily enjoyed. A
visit to this section will convince you
of these facts. You will find the citi-
zens of this section represent all
nationalities, but mostly Scandenavians,
and more kind, ,hospitable and accom-
modating people you will find nowhere
in the United States.

ready Mr.. Broman has sent in his
orders for goods in car load lots, the
first assignment to be car of canned

The First Thrssher.

w. E. Snowden was in from James
vile Saturday. He said Uncle Josh
Lanphear was arranging to bring a
threshing outfit into that section, and
that it would be the first one ever
taken in. So far the crops of that sec
ton have been cut for hay and fed to
stock at the ranches. This season
several hundred acres OF grain was
sown and to harvest this a binder, the
first to be taken into that section, will
cut the crop, and the first machine
ever seen in that part of the county
will do the threshing. That section
Of Latah County is beginning to take
on genuine activity and people who
have been holding on through years Of
hardship and many times privation,
are much elated over the exception
ally bright prospect. Land values are
advancing rapidly and there is now a
ready cash market for land.
The well established fact that land
throughout the timbered sections oI
Latah County is unsurpassed for fer
tility; that it is easily cleared; that a
railroad is just building into the heart
of this section, and that land can now
be bought for about half its real value,
ought to cause heavy immigration
into this portion of the country in the
near future. During over quarter o.
century Of residence in the north
west the writer knows of no time
nor place where so many valuable op-
portunities have ever been within the
reach of the man with small means.
