BOOK REVIEWS.

Among the recent books published by the Bobs- Merrill company is "The Plum Tree" by David Graham Phillips An in- terestng discussion, started by MT Phil lips novel, is touched upon by the Book man as follows:
 A good many people are amusing them selves by trying to identify the originals of some of the characters of David Gra- ham Phillips The Plum Tree, book which just now seems to be having con- siderable vogue. For instance, the por- trait of President Burbank Is said to be drawn from President Mckinley; Senator Hanna is though by many to have sug- gested Senator Sayer while as to the original of Sarbrough whose history is continued from The Cost. opinion is di- vided between William Jennings Bryan and Senator Beveridge of Indiana The latter Is generally favored because he is known to have been Mrs. Phillips class mate at De Pauw University. The au- thor, however, when approached on this point disclaims all intention of singling out individuals of national fame for praise or pillory, maintaining that his characters are composites, and reparate> traits may readily be fastened on separate men. If,
 for example, MT. Hanna contributed much
 to the making of Sayler, it seems likely that MT. Aldrich contributed as much
 again. An article by MT. Phillips on Sen
 ator Aldrch, entitled "rhe Boss of the United States" created something of a stir year or two ago, and what better
 name could be found for Sayler than the
 title of that article?
 "IIecla Sandwith," new novel by Ed ward Arlington Valentine and published by the Bobbs- Merrill company, deals with | life in Central Pennsylvania, where the | author spent his youth. There is back 1 ground of Quaker life, of coal mining and 1 charcoal manufacture which is treated by l MT Valentine in vivid manner. He is l intimately acquainted with the conditions
 about which he writes. MT. Valentine IS

the county is being robbed.
Third; That during the times
such assertions and insinuations

cusations to have made any state
ment or to have denied such
charges, in print or otherwise.
Fourth; Your petitioners do not
here say whether or not there is
any corruption or has been during

OUT ON BAIL.
Dennison Boys Turned Out
and Black Arrested.


and Black Arrested.
The Dennison boys, age 12 and
and IA years, who were being held
in the county Jail to answer to the
charge Of horse stealing, have been
released on bail and their brother
in-law, whose name is Black, has
been arrested charged with en-
bezzlement. =
1t seems Black was instrumental
In having the boys arrested for
stealing horses which formerly be-
longed to the boys father a n d
which the boys claim are the prop
erty of the estate. After the elder
Dennison's death, the estate being
small: was not administered upon
and Black, 80 it is claimed, took
possession of the chattels and CO.
creed the boys into making the
statement that the horses were his
individual property. However it
may be Black is being held Under
bonds and will have to convince
the court that the boys did not
have an equal right with himself
in the horses claimed to be stolen.

DEMAND FOR TREES.
Profit and Beauty in Fruit Rails
ing on the Prairie.


) It is pleasing to note the marked
increase in the demand for fruit
and ornamental trees In this sec.
tion during last year.
Until the last few years there
were but few really good orchards
on the Prairie and many believed
that only q few varieties OF the
more hardy fruits could be sue
cessfully grown. More rece n
trials have proven the fallacy oil
this idea and now almost every
variety Of fruit is produced in the
highest degree of perfection.
D. L. Wylde, proprietor Of the
Grangeville nurseries, has done
much to stimulate fruit growing
and has built up a good demand
for both fruit and ornamental trees.
His sales have greatly increased
this winter and it is doubtful IL he
will be able to supply the full de.
mand for spring planting. Moth.
ing adds to the beauty Of q home
like trees, and the young orchards
all over the Prairie are much to.

pearance of permanent prosperity

AT OPERA HOUSE

Appear in ''ldaho".

HRRO0t ui i00tlO
Mr.. Len Mitchell who success
fully produced the beautiful melo.
drama, "Idaho," at Lewiston last
saturday night with the assistance
of local talent has decided to bring
his entire caste to Grangeville and
playin this city his old home, Fri
day, Jan. 18th.
AThe play is written by and stag
led under the personal direction OF
Mr.. Mitchell. The Lewiston Tri-
bune says Of the performance last
saturday night: Everyone was de-
lighted with the performance. The
beautiful scenery was character
istic of the state from which the
play takes it's name, and the entire
plot was typical of the location,
eliminating that rough element so
common to western plays. Not a
dull line in the entire four acts and
the curtain on the first act was one
of the most beautiful pictures ever
presented.
One cannot utter words of praise
high enough to justify the esteem
OF this talented company, and only
hope to have an opportunity to
witness another performance.
Mr.. Lenard Mitchell was rails
ed in Grangeville, later going to
Lewiston and finally on the profess
ional stage where he has gained
for himself laurels as an actor and
a playwright Of much ability.
He played several seasons with

NEW OFFICERS MONDAY.
County Government will then
Pass into New Hands.


The newly elected county officers
are spending some time this week
looking over the offices of their
predecessors and getting the run
of the work preparatory to as
suming their duties next Monday.
All will be on hand unless it is
County Surveyor Spalding, whom
it is rumored will not qualify.
The retiring officers have all
arranged their future plans and no
time will be lost in.picking up their
work as private citizens. Sheriff
Seay will 60 back to his farm,
Judge Taylor will enter the prac-
tice of law with w. N. Scales,
Treasurer Robertson will engage
in the real estate business with
Hon. A. F. Parker; Assessor Telch-
er will again go to farming; School
Superintendent Elsensohn expects
to go to Pomeroy to engage in the
mercantile business, and Prosecut-
ing Attorney Griffith will continue
the practice Of law at the old stand.
In leaving the public service every
man has a right to be proud of the
record left behind. Idaho county
has never had a more competent
or obliging set Of officials and they
will be keenly missed by many who
have had business to transact about
the court house. The new officers
assume their responsibilities under
the most favorable circumstances
and their friends are confident that
they will be no less popular than
their predecessors.
