Manchester the night before the
primaries were held. But all to no
avail The progressive republicans
of the county put up gallant fight
with the means at their command.
The voters were kept informed as to
the real issues Of the campaign, and
the result is tribute TO their hon

not only received majority of the
popular vote, but more than two-
thirds of The delegates, thus insur-
ing solid Cummins delegation to
the convention. All honor to the
progressive republicans Of Delaware

Politics and Doodle


After most strenuous fight, Della
ware county, Saturday, gave Cam
Minis a sale majority in the Republi-
can primaries. Howard Ram, lead
er ofthe stand patters, says they will
contest, But Senator Young isinthe
saddle, and will see to it that Cum
Minis be not deprived of Delawares
vote. I he dispatch announcing
TIL e result. naively adds that h e
Perkins M an spent $4,000 to
$4,000 in the county to win the
battle. That's mean, boys, take the
mans money and then vote against
him. But maybe Cummins spent
more. For real morality in politics,
commend us to these noble leaders
of the grand old party Indepen,
dence Conservative.

Troy People Sell Timber.

Among the many fore-seeing people
who grasped the opportunity Of getting
timber claims last spring were about
one hundred OF Troy Of which A. F.
Weeks, E. E. Bellomy, c. o. Bellomy
and w. w. Park, Of Troy, have already
received a nice little bunch of profit
for their effort. The wise Moscow
people were waiting for big game, and
the fact is their guns are still loaded,
unless they have taken a shot at the
Independent Reform Ticket.
The prices paid by Mr.. McGary
range from 81, 10000 to 100000
cash in hand, and the claims are
located in eastern Latah county. There
are many claims that will be sold as
som as the estimates ale completed,
and the Troy people were located on
these claims by the Troy and Jansville
cruisers. We do not know whether
Mr.. McGary purchased these clans for
speculation or for some lumber com
pany; however, his offer was more Of
an inducement than could be obtained
elsewhere.

Virginia is to have state highway
department. The bill, which has passed
the senate. provides for a state
highway commissioner. to be appointed
by the governor and confirmed by the
legislature, and an assistant, both of
whom must be civil engineers, and
the commissioner, together with the
professors of engineering in the Uni
versity of Virginia, the Military insti-
tute and the Polytechnic institute, are
to constitute the highway commission
Local authorities are to apply to the
commissioner when they desire perma-
nent road improvement. and on his adj
vice the work will be undertaken. The
county is to supply necessary materials
and tools. and the state will supply
convict labor free of cost to the local
ity. The first year will necessarily be
largely devoted to preparation and or
ganization, after which a liberal state
aid measure is expected.

Not Made by a Trust.

It may seem strange but even in
this day OF commercial activity there
are some things that are not made by
trust and one Of these is so common and
simple an article as a soda cracker. We
refer to the goods made in Spokane by
the Inland Cracker Co. OF Spokane,
and seen on the shelves OF every store
in the Northwest. These goods OF
which we refer come in those pretty
red boxes and because they are not
trust made it gives US real pleasure to
tell the public Of the fact and to advise
our readers to ask for the Inland
goods when purchasing crackers.
There is quite story with the life Of
the company that started in Spokane
few years ago in opposition to the
American Biscuit Co., who was not
only giving the people poor grade Of
goods but was giving the purchaser
short weight in the bargain. The trust
was backed by MILLIONS and for several
years has tried to drive the young and
independent concean out Of Spokane,
using every method known to the
trusts to crush competitor and hog the
business. But the Inland lived simply
because the people stood by the In
land and bought their goods in the
face OF the fact that the trust sold their
crackers at figure away below cost.
L
the Spokane company was driven out
of business and the merchants did what
they could for the Spokane company.
So between the merchants and the
people the independent concern lived
and grew in the face OF fight that is
worth telling. And seeing the useless
ness of the struggle the trust recently
went to the independent company, the
people who were putting out a full
weight package Of nice fresh crackers
in those bright red wrappers and asked
to have the cracker war in the north
west declared off. The News believes
in giving assistance to every worthy
business enterprise that is willing to
treat the people fairly and suggests
that those Of you who are anxious to
strike an effective blow at trusts re-
member that you can do so in the
purchasing of your crackers. Ask for
the Inland with those bright red wrap
pers. They are not made by trust.
And we want our readers to under
stand that this is not an ad paid for by
the Spokane Company, but the honest
and unbiased sentiments OF the Troy
News editor who is opposed to trust
on general principles and know that
our readers will be glad Of an oppor-
tunity to encourage a company that is
working in opposition to one of the
biggest trusts in the world.

By another week the News will get
back to business and give its readers
the usual amount of local news. So
far as we are concerned the campaign
is over and in place Of politics we shall
devote our energies to Troy and the
Potlatch. 1t makes no difference who
got elected, Troy is still the biggest
little town on earth and the Potlatch is
now, just as it was before the campaign,
the cream Of creation. While our citi-
zens have differed over politics we can
all stand on the above two Illnks and
unite our energies for the upbuilding
and advancement of our town and
country tributary. Let US hurrah for
Troy and with every shoulder to the
wheel push on to bigger and and bet
ter things. There is water system
to put in, and better roads to build,
and, as good, progressive citizens, let
US do it.

A RELIABLE REMEDY FOR GROUP

With the dry, cold weather of the
early winter months, parents of croupy
children should be on the alert for ON
nous symptoms. There is no cause for
anxiety, however, when Chamberlain
Cough Remedy is kept in the home. If
this medicine is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, the attack
may be warded off. Mrs. S. Rosinihal,
of Turner, Michigan, says: ave have

ourselves and children for several years
and like it very much. | think it is the
only remedy for Group and can highly

Went North.

The last we heard OF it it was going
towards Spokane at the rate Of thirty
miles an hour with no prospect that
the thing would ever return. And we
believe it never will. Rudolph and
Oversmith and some OF the other boys
did it and we are now trying to dis
cover some way TO get even And
what is the worst OF the matter it was
the only one we had. We refer to our
sign which was torn from over the door
of our sanctum sometime during the
night called Halloween when the little
boys take such liberties with their
neighbor's property as on other occas-
ions would be considered as extremely
bad taste, if not really criminal. But
this is getting off the subject, which
is the loss OF our sign. 1t was not
enough to yank our sign ruthlessly
from the front OF our aforesaid sanctum
but the Williams, as if to add to our
displeasure, carried the sign to the de-
pot and at one o'clock in the morning
nailed it to the tail end of the passen-
ger and started it for Spokane, prob
ably never to return.

resident OF this section, died in Troy

Deceased was born in Sweden March
