Will Build a Brick.

The directors Of the Bank of Troy
held meeting this week and the con-
dltion OF the institution gone over.
AS to what was done President Thos.
II. Brewer, of Spokane, who was pres
ent, said:
We found the Bank of Troy in a
fiourishing condition, and to meet the
needs of the business decided to build
a substantial brick bank building in
the early spring, the present quarters
being much too small"
Mr.. Brewer also stated that for the
half year just ended the Bank of Troy
had made an earning Of ten per cent.
on its capital stock, and that a divi-
dend OF five per cent. for the six
months was paid the stockholders
while an equal amount of earnings
were placed in the reserve fund OF the
bank. Where the new building is to
be erected Mr.. Brewer would not say
except that the location selected was
one Of the best in Troy.
Speaking of Troy Mr.. Brewer said
he was surprised at the wonderful
growth the town and the surrounding
country had made during the past two
years, and could see no reason why
Troy should not continue to be one Of
the most hourishing and prosperous
towns in the northwest. The business
done in Troy is a wonder, according to
Mr.. Brewer, and he could see no rea-
son why the town should not keep
right on growing.

A lot of really good, substantial hitch

How to Drive.

When you hire team from a livery
barn start out with the determination
to get your moneys worth. 1t Won
are troubled with tender heart or a
human sentiment leave them at home
with your wife or the hired man. Thev
will be In your way, and prevent your
getting the last ounce Of energy out of
the team To begin with monkey
around until you get late start and
then rely on your ability to use the
whip to get you to your destination.
1t is mt your team and so it makes no
difference how much you abuse the
dumb brutes. If the horses are will
ing and able let them start out at
break neck pace and keep them going
from the bottom to the top of everv
hill. They can't talk and the liverv-
man will never know about it. Keep
using the whip. That's what its for.
Ii the horses go too fast whip them; if
too slow use the whip. If they become
frightened whip them some more and
when they grow weary lay on the lash.
1t tends to keep their minds accupied
and they will forget about their Door
tired limbs and aching bodies. If you
relent and desire to help the team push
on the lines. Never pull. The horses
have enough to do without pulling the
driver by their jaws. And besides YOU
might break the lines and get killed. Of
course you don't want to get killed.
You shouldn't take any chances. If
the livery team gets to sweating don't
slow down and let them cool off.
They might catch cold, and besides a
livery horse isn't supposed to sweat.
If it does make it suffer for it. But all
this is only secondary matter The
use Of the team will cost you perhaps
three dollars and if you don't get your
moneys worth its your own fault. If
possible drive twice as far as you told
the liveryman you intended to. and by
keeping up speed you can get back on
time. The liveryman wont know that
you lied to him. The team may look
little tough but he's used to that.
And then go away and brag about your
good driving. You ought to. But if
a humane society should get hold of
you they would probably be mean
enough to send you to the state peni-
tentiary for cruelty to animals.

A Long Drive.

Few people have much of an idea of
the distance travelled during three years
by rural mail carrier and the facts
will prove interesting reading. Dick
Wilkins, who has route No. /, out Of
Troy, will resign the first of January,
having completed a three year term in
the rural service. His route covers a
trip of 25 miles, which he has made
not less than three hundred times dur
ing each year, and at the end OF his
third year the first of the coming year
will have travelled 2250O miles, or a
distance almost sufficient to have tax
en- him once around the globe. To
do this has required only about one
third Of his time on the road. Two
horses are required, the work being too
much for one animal, but with change
every day two ordinary horses keep
sleek and fat. Who will succeed Mr..
Wilkins is not known but already sew
eral parties are anxious to get it. The
position pays fifty per month, two
weeks vacation each year, and as it re-
quires but part of mans time is not
such bad job.
