A Good Testimonial.

Here is testimonial of the kind
that is not paid for by any Of the pat
ent medicine concerns of this country,
but it is the kind that every newspaper
in the United States ought to publish
every week in the year. For reasons
of a personal nature we will not men
tion names but can assure the public
that if occasion demands the truth of
the testimonial can be established.
Months ago there was in this com
munity certain young man who was
led, through the advertisements OF the
Kodal Dyspepsia Cure, to believe that
his only hope Of recovery from a
stomach disorder was through the use
of the stuff warranted to cure, and if
necessary, to digest anything from iron
spikes to fried cabbage. For months
the medicine was faithfully taken but
no cure affected, while the disorder
grew more aggrieved. Early this
spring the young man, who thought he
had an incurable case Of dyspepsia
began reading the patent medicine
fake exposures published by Collier
Weekly, and Kodal, the great cure-all,
was dropped. A change for the better
was at once noted and without the
dope the much-longed for cure is just
gradually coming. The Kodal concerr
are welcome to investigate this case
and if they think it good policy they
might start damage suit against the
News editor.

Who Are They?

Who were the four men, with two
surveyors instruments, and an arm
load of stakes who arrived in Troy
early Tuesday morning and from here
walked out Of town to the west? As
Gus Johnson, the hardware merchant,
was leaving home in the early morning
he met the party and saw them dis
appear over the hill near the school
house. 1t has also been discovered
that fresh stakes have been set from
Troy to Cornwall, passing out Of town
up Huff Gulch. Are these men en-
ployed by the electric road, and is it
the intention to run from Moscow to
Lewiston parallel to the Northern Pa
cihc? As far as business is concerned
Troy is certainly point worth hitting,
and it is quite probable the near future
will develop something worth talking
about.

MALICIOUS LIAR.
That Is Just What the Moscow
Daily Journal Is.

Under big display head the Mos
COW Evening Journal of the 9th, on
its front page, makes the announce
ment that there was big row, in
volving the entire population Of Troy,
over the. question as to whether or not
pimps" should be permitted to live
in Troy. The whole thing is delib-
crate and malicious piece of blackmail,
published for the express purpose Of
rejecting upon the people of Troy.
And it is a case where the editor OF
the Journal, Henry c. Shaver, must
have known he was publishing a
SANDER. If he did not know that the
article was correct then why did he
permit it to appear? The answer is
plain.
The truth OF the matter is that Mar
shal Woodward recently discovered
that one of the above described beings
was living in Troy, and he forth
with arrested the fellow and fine Of
twenty dollars was imposed. The man
was also ordered to leave town. The
following day he was still here and was
again arrested and sentenced to thirty
days in the county Jail, with the under
standing that the fine would not be en-
forced if he would leave town at once.
There was no difference Of opinion
among the citizens of the town over
the matter, and when the Journal says
that certain citizens came forward
and championed the cause of the de-
graded secretaries" it lies most miser-
ably.
The Journal lies again when it say;
the people of Troy held mass meet
ings to discuss the matter.
The Journal lies when it says: The
difference resulted in several fs'
fights and practically general feud.''
1t lies when it says the population o
Troy is divided on question Of NOR
atty" In fact, we will pay Col
Shaver or the Moscow Evening Journa
thousand dollars a word for all the
truth they can find in the article re-
fened to. And knowing the truth vii

that it lied2

Pay Big Taxes.

Few people have any idea OF the
amount of taxes being paid into the
county treasury by the Potlatch Lum-
Der Co. The county will collect this
wear $4,000. The big plant at Pot
latch is assessed at 1000; logging
tools $500; thirty million feet Of saw
logs S45, 1000; horses $3.50; merchan-
disc, cattle and hogs $6,014. For
three or four years the company has
been paying in taxes between sixteen
and twenty thousand dollars annually.
The records show that the company
now owns 81, 7,729 acres of land, and in
addition timber on state land assessed
at 500, ,48O, all in Latah county.

Before giving up any Of your good
cash to one of the transient buggy
peddlers now working the farmers Of
this section would it not be a good idea
to at least see if one Of the local deal
ers will not do just as well by you? AS
a matter of fact you can buy buggy
cheaper from your home dealer than
you can from these venders who may
or may not be responsible. The News
would. suggest that you make the
peddler this kind of proposition:
Pick out the rig you want and then
Just ask him to let you compare it with
similar rig that either of the Troy
firms can sell you for less money.
The News knows what it is talking
about and if the peddler refuses just
put it down that he is afraid to com
pete with the local dealers. And if he
will allow you to make the comparison
we will guarantee that you can get a
better rig for the same money from the
home merchants. Just try it. These
peddlers make their headquarters in
Troy and it will be no trouble for them
to test this matter. We make thi:
statement authoritively after an inter
view with Smith Brothers, implement
dealers of Troy.

Attorneys Sharp Clash
Over Ice Driver Gases
In the Police Court

I'm surprised that any representa-
tive of the American Ice Company should
have the nerve To talk OF principle in
open court" declared Assistant Corpo-
ration Counsel James L. Pugh in Police
Court this morning.
The surprise would be all the greater

standing up for a principle" retorted
George p. Hoover attorney for the
American Ice Company.
This rather sharp clash came at the
conclusion of the hearing in the cases
of Albert Mooers, Robert l. Matthews.

four American Ice Company drivers who
were taken into custody about two
weeks ago on charges Of failing %

Mr.. Hoover endeavored to have the
cases continued until fall. stating that
the men were too busy To appear in
court.
Mr.. Pugh insisted that the drivers
agreed 90 be in court for trial today,
and Judge O'Neal upheld his contention,
declaring the $50 collateral forfeited. 10
was at this point that Mr. Hoover OBJ
jected not TO the pecuniary loss but 70

Chinese Government Acts.
According To late advices, il appears
that when 1t became known by the
Chinese government and throughout the
empire that the United States Govern
ment was planning 10 send a large army
20 China in case of serious outbreaks. TO
protect American citizens and their in
terests. orders were issued by the Off
cials at -oekin TO the viceToys of the
turbulent provinces to put down all
anti-fOreign disturbances at any cost.
1t is believed an official circles that
the strenuous activity displayed by the
United States just after the clc-@ nf the
Russo-Japanese war, when the condi-
tioas in the southren provinces Of China
We're serious, prevented the general IN
rising among the natives which seemed
imminent at any time. and did much to
prevent a spread OF the boycott against
American goods.
There now seems to be no question in
Washington but that the boycott move
ment was not only inspired but greatly
encouraged by the Chinese government
through the VicerOys of the different
provinces. While the officials IN Pekin
issued open mandates as inst the move
ment and represented to this Govern
ment that they were doing all in their
power to put Ii down. and that they
were certain IL would not assume threat
ening proportions, il became officially
the minds of Government officials IN
known at the State Department that WI
Ting-fang, formerly Chinese minister TO
the United States. and now high in the
councils of his home government, was
secretly encouraging the Chinese stud
euts and merchants TO place a ban on
American goods and TO make il as un-
comfortable as possible for Americans
residing in China. 1t also became known
mere that the VicerOys of the southern
provinces, where the anti-foreign feeling
appeared to be strongest. were not ac-
